Chapter 32 – Buy a pet dog
“You of course understand?”
Zi Yan sneered and said, “Not mentioning about this matter for now, what was that all about during this morning? Don’t you know how hot Xiangjiang is during the afternoon? Do you think that it is good to bring Meng Meng to that mountaintop to get shined by the sun and blown by the wind? When you look at Meng Meng’s face which was filled with sweat, could you even bear it?”
“The temperature at Crescent Mountain is not high at all.” Zhang Han answered calmly.
“You are bluffing again. Zhang Han, you should at least have some basis when you try to bluff people right? The temperature in all of Xiangjiang is hot, yet only the temperature at your Crescent Mountain is not hot?” Zi Yan said indignantly.
“You will know next time when you come to Crescent Mountain.” Zhang Han said calmly. Thinking for a bit, he then added, “The previous time you came to Crescent Mountain was during the night, so naturally you were not able to feel anything. You will know when you come to Crescent Mountain during the day. Furthermore, during the day at Crescent Mountain, you will be able to see things that are much more beautiful compared to during the night.”
Zi Yan’s expression paused for a moment, the corner of her mouth wiggled, with her tone becoming somewhat lighter, she said out a sentence, “So is this your invitation to me?”
But Zhang Han said something which spoiled the mood,
“It can be counted as my invitation to you I guess, whether you come or not depends on you.”
“Humph!” Zi Yan glared at him for a bit, took off her cowboy jacket, revealing the white color small garment inside, which immediately highlighted her graceful figure. Sitting on the chair, she fixed her eyes onto Zhang Han and said, “You changed.”
“What of me changed?” Zhang Han sat onto the chair beside Zi Yan.
Zi Yan took a look at his somewhat dirty clothes, then took a look at the chair which might have been dirtied. If it was someone else, she would definitely stop him, but towards Zhang Han, she did not say anything, but instead muttered for a bit, then slowly opened her mouth and said,
“You were one of the four young masters in Shangjing back then. I heard about some things regarding you. My friends which were in Shangjing all said that you were aggressive, very haughty, would always cause trouble and beautiful women were constantly at your side.”
“Young and frivolous, just relatively childish during that period. that’s all.” Zhang Han shook his head.
Remembered that there was this saying, the older generation would say towards the arrogant young generation, young people, don’t be too insolent, and the younger generation would immediately retaliate, not being insolent, is that still called young people?
This sentence spoke out many people’s thoughts. Everyone all had a time when they were young. Young people were hot-blooded, sensitive, and paid extreme attention to the spirit of loyalty.
When a friend was bullied, young people would immediately rush up and stand beside their friend no matter what reason, not considering any consequences that would come after. And as people grow older, people began to have bindings and would think before they did something. Even if they had the intentions to help, but if they did not have the capability, they would not take the initiative forcibly.
Of course, there was no absolute in all things, there were still many adults who would be fired up all day long.
Returning back to the topic, hearing Zhang Han’s words, Zi Yan smiled slightly and said,
“Later on I heard that you had an accident and was driven out of Zhang Family. Originally, I thought that with your temperament, you would change a place to live at, but I never would have thought that you would obstinately stay at Shangjing, and even stayed for 5 years. Seems like you this young master still has his own backbone.”
“The things that I feel that I must do, no matter if I was to knock into the south wall, no matter if there was no turning back, I would still do it.” Zhang Han faintly laughed.
At this time, the atmosphere of the two people was somewhat subtle, seemingly like the first time of two friends having a heart to heart talk, but it appears that it was still really the first time that the two people have chatted like this.
“That’s right, you……you were so popular back then, why did you choose to retire and give birth to Meng Meng?” Zhang Han asked. He did not really understand Zi Yan’s actions, because, in this era, it was very normal to have an abortion. Even when you go to the hospital to have an abortion, you would have to line up. And Zi Yan, who was immediately going to be able to achieve the title of best actress instead chose to give birth to the child. There was indeed a somewhat strange feeling.
“I……” Zi Yan’s expression paused for a moment, her expression somewhat desolate, she said, “I……I fell sick when I was small. The doctor said that I might not be able to be pregnant in the future, and if my luck was good, I could get pregnant once. That time with you……after that accident, I found out I was pregnant later on. I had also thought of aborting the child, but I did not dare to gamble……”
Speaking up to here, Zi Yan did not continue speaking, and Zhang Han finally understood everything.
“Why did you not tell me about it at that time?” Zhang Han asked calmly.
“Tell you for what?” Zi Yan snorted and said, “We were but an accident, and we don’t even know about each other, so why would I tell you? Even if I told you, do you feel that you would leave Shangjing?”
Hearing that, Zhang Han remained silent. After a while, he nodded his head and said out one word, “Will!”
Zi Yan slightly went into a daze and did not say anything else. The room fell into silence.
After a while, Zi Yan looked at Zhang Han and said lightly, “Thanks.”
“En?” Zhang Han was confused.
“Thank you for everything you did for Meng Meng. Ever since Meng Meng came into contact with you, she became much more cheerful and smiled much more happily. You…you don’t have a place to stay at during this few days right? You can stay here for the time being first.” Zi Yan said with a trace of bashfulness.
“En, don’t mention it, she is my daughter.” Zhang Han casually answered.
“What do you mean by that?” Zi Yan’s brows twitched, and said with a dissatisfied tone, “Hearing your tone, it seems that you want to have Meng Meng to your own? Let me tell you, Zhang Han, Meng Meng was raised big by my own hand, and you have only came into contact with her for a few days. It is impossible for you to try to snatch Meng Meng away from my side!”
“Why is the hole in your brain that big? When did I say that I was going to snatch Meng Meng away?” Zhang Han said with an astonished face.
Speaking with a woman was really a troublesome matter!
“The tone in your voice just now obviously said that!” Zi Yan glared at Zhang Han and said.
“I really don’t know what to do with you. If you were not Meng Meng’s mother, I would really be too lazy to even talk to you!” Zhang Han slightly shook his head.
“I would be the one that is too lazy to even pay attention to you!” Zi Yan snorted and said, “Quickly go change out of your dirty clothes, it is uncomfortable just looking at it.”
“En.” Zhang Han nodded his head, stood up and left.
Zi Yan lightly snorted towards his back. After he left, she also went to look for her night clothes to change into.
On this night, Zhang Han accompanied Meng Meng to play until 11pm again. Meng Meng only went to sleep after being urged by Zi Yan.
The next day, after eating breakfast, Zi Yan and Zhou Fei went to work.
This time when Zhang Han brought Meng Meng out, Wang Juan did not stop him anymore, and instead even saw them off to the door with a face full of smile, then took out a blue color circled shape elevator card and said,
“Mr Zhang, take this elevator card with you, it will be more convenient when coming up and down.”
“Alright.” Zhang Han kept the elevator card and nodded his head.
Coming downstairs, after placing Meng Meng at the back seat, Zhang Han drove the car and left Yunyin Garden.
“Daddy, you are so stupid, you went to the wrong direction.” Meng Meng looked at the surroundings of the street and said with her cute voice. She remembered the road well and knew that this was not the way that went towards Crescent Gulf.
“We are going to buy some pets. Yesterday we promised Xiao Hei to bring some playmates for him.” Zhang Han said with a smile.
“Buy pets, alright, alright! Aiya!” Meng Meng suddenly cried out.
“What’s the matter Meng Meng?” Zhang Han asked with a smile.
“I, I forget to bring toys for Xiao Hei……” Meng Meng said with an anxious and guilty face.
“It’s alright, we will go back home to take the toys alright?” Zhang Han immediately drove the car to the left side, preparing to turn around and go back to Yunyin Garden.
The little princess immediately became happy when she heard that and said repeatedly, “Alright, alright, alright, daddy is the best.”
Seeing her attitude, if she was in Zhang Han’s embrace, she would definitely give him a ‘muack, muack, muack’!
Returned back to Yunyin Garden, the little princess picked 10 small stuffed dolls, then went back downstairs happily with her father.
Zhang Han drove the car to a pet store which was called Pamper Pavilion that was located at the East District.
The shop front of the store was not small. Inside the store was a hall of the size of 100 square. At the lateral side, there were some dog cages and cat cages. Inside those cages were some fully grown pets.
Walking into the house, a somewhat strange smell could be smelled. After all, the pets were all in this house, thus the smell was unavoidable.
“Hello mister, do you need anything?” A 25 year old spectacled male walked up and greeted with a smile.
“Buy, buy pets.” Meng Meng said in her cute voice.
“Oh, such an adorable little girl.” The male praised Meng Meng with a smile, then looked towards Zhang Han and said, “Not sure what pet mister you would like to buy?”
“Buy some dogs first.” Zhang Han’s gaze swept through the pets in the cages.
There were quite a lot of different breeds of dogs. There were Alaskan Malamute, husky, Samoyed dog, Golden Retriever, Chow Chow, Poodle and so on others.
Zhang Han was somewhat knowledgeable about the temperament and characteristic of those dogs.
For example, he had raised before Alaskan Malamute and Golden Retriever. Alaskan Malamute was clever, extremely intimate to its master and had a very high obeying nature. Golden Retriever was famous for being docile, no matter if it was towards its master or outsiders, they were very friendly, and they were also very clever, when they saw that their master’s expression was amiss, they would immediately lie down on the ground and act pitiful.
And as for the other different breeds of dogs, Zhang Han also more or less knew what kind of temper they had. Back then when he brought his dogs out to walk, he would always come across some other people who were walking their dog too. After coming into contact with others for a while, he would more or less also understand the temper and characteristic of the other person’s dog. Let’s say the poodle who would fuck here and there for example. If it was possible, it was reckoned that it would even dare to fuck the sky.
(Actually literally translate to fuck in the raw. Too lazy to rephrase and make it less vulgar.)
(Context: Poodle seems to tend to climb onto other dogs and…you know. Not really sure though.)
“Not sure what kind of dog mister you would want to buy? The dogs that we sell here are all roughly a year old and have all already finish taking 3 injections. We also have some purebred ones and have the certificate to prove it too, just that the price would be somewhat more expensive.” The male said with a smile.
“We are going to buy a lot a lot of dogs.” Meng Meng blinked her bright big eyes and said.
“En, we will roughly be buying dozen of dogs.” Zhang Han added.
The male slightly went into a daze, then immediately became extremely happy. Seems like he was going to be able to open a big bill today, thus he looked towards the female who was sitting at the counter and said, “Big Sister Zhao, I will bring the customer to pick the dogs.”
“Go ahead.” The female nodded her head.
“Mister, come this way, the small pets in our store are all at next door.” The male took the lead and walked out.
At next door, small cages could be seen inside. Within the small cages were all dogs that were a year old.
“Mister, those blue cages that are at the inner side are all purebred. The label and price are all on the top side of the cage. The cages that are at the outer sider are all normal dogs.” The male introduced.
“En.”
Zhang Han nodded and straightforwardly walked towards the inner side.
In the end, there were still some differences between purebred and normal dogs. If not, the price of purebred dogs would also not be much more expensive than the normal dogs.No matter was it the build or appearance, purebred dogs were slightly better looking.
“This and this.” Zhang Han pointed at a male and female Alaskan Malamute.
The male Alaskan Malamute was 8k and the female one was 8.8k.
“Alright, alright.” The spectacled male’s face became happy as he quickly took out the two cages where the male and female Alaskan Malamute were in and placed it on the aisle.
Just those two dogs alone were able to be sold for 16.6k, and he would also be able to take some commission too.
“This and this.” Zhang Han pointed at a male and female pug.
5k and 5.6k, another 10k rmb!
“This and this.” Zhang Han pointed at two Beagle.
