Remaining silent, Guo Dongyue walked around the store thinking. Sometimes his eyebrows gathered, or his lips slightly moved as if he was calculating something.

After a little bit, he pulled out his cellphone and took pictures everywhere. He kept taking pictures, and for some important places, he had to take several pictures from various angles. After taking pictures on both the first and second floor, he then videotaped from the door, mimicking what a customer would see walking into the store.

As Guo was busily recording, Zhang Zian asked Xiao Yan secretly, "How much does it cost to hire a company like this?"

This concerned him the most. The ponytail guy looked so professional. If he was extremely expensive, Zhang Zian could do nothing but turn him away.

Xiao Yan waved and calmed him down, "He didn’t come for his family. I invited him here as a friend. You can give him something for his work. When his design is completed, you can outsource an affordable contractor to complete the project."

Zhang Zian was appreciative. Although he didn’t know what she meant by "something," it would be a lot more affordable than hiring a design firm.

"Is it okay to do so? What if his company finds out? Is he going to be in trouble…?" He was happy, yet couldn’t help to worry about Guo.

Xiao Yan was positive, "No problem. They have side jobs all the time. It is an open secret. Easy money for them."

"Okay. I see." He understood. That was true. It would be stupid to not take easy money like this.

"Oh, right. The other day when you were on the phone, was it a call from the legal department of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket?" she asked, yet she pretty much knew the answer.

"That’s right," Zhang Zian smiled, "I couldn’t thank you enough. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have dared to sign the waiver of prosecution. It looked kind of scary."

"Well, that’s nothing at all. Don’t mention it. So now you’ve claimed peace with them?" She asked.

Zhang Zian nodded affirmatively, "Of course. I don’t want to be No. 1 of the country. All I want is to run this store and them to let me go."

"That’s great. You handled it very well. Now everyone is happy," She then said, "Well, you know, the other day you took your golden cat to my store. Many customers heard about it… you know, they are friends with each other and have a broad network – they asked if you have more pretty cats like that."

"Nope, I really don’t."

"Well, that’s too bad," Xiao Yan sighed. "They are very wealthy."

"Yeah but what can you do. That cat is very rare, extremely rare. I got it by accident and I don’t think there is another one like that," Zhang Zian said with pride.

"That’s fine. I mentioned your store on the BBS and told people that your kittens know stunts. Many people are interested. You know, the wealthy wives are on board," she said.

"Thank you very much, I really appreciate it," Zhang Zian thanked her from the bottom of his heart.

After a while, Guo Dongyue seemed to finish collecting all the information he needed. He walked up with his ponytail whipping in the air, "Do you have the structure drawing? You can find that in your deed."

Zhang Zian said, "Yup. Should I get that for you now?"

"No rush. You can send me a picture when you find it."

Zhang Zian nodded. They friended each other on WeChat. Zhang Zian thought of something and said, "I have the structure drawing, but many places are not the same as the drawing anymore…"

"Well, don’t worry about it. I already took pictures of those spots. I just need to see the structure of the building," Guo Dongyue was confident and interrupted him.

"Yan, let’s go. Dog and cat hairs are everywhere. So gross!" he said to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was a busy person. She nodded, "Well, we’ve got to go."

"Wait a second."

Zhang Zian walked up the stairs and grabbed an envelope from his bedroom. There was 20 thousand Yuan inside the envelope from the legal department of the Stars Pet Chain Supermarket.

He walked downstairs and handed the envelope to Xiao Yan. "This is for the tea."

He didn’t know how much the tea was. If 20 thousand Yuan was not enough, then he would have to make up for it later on.

Xiao Yan didn’t reject. She took the envelope and felt it. She already knew how much money was in the envelope.

"That is too much," she said. "I bought the tea from a friend and I only paid something… You know, that is the value of networking."

"The extra will be my deposit then. I have to get it again when it is gone," Zhang Zian said.

After getting along with Xiao Yan these days, he learned that networks needed maintenance. Sometimes it was only a game of exchange. Xiao Yan got the tea from her friend for lower than the market price. At the same time, she would need someone to help her out at times. Now, she didn’t need his help yet, but in the future, if she ever needed a hand from him, he would try his best to help.

Xiao Yan unzipped her purse and put the envelope inside. She said curiously, "You are a real tea lover."

Zhang Zian smiled without saying anything. He couldn’t tell her that it was his cat who loved tea.

"Let’s go." She waved at Guo Dongyue, and nodded at Zhang, "Keep in touch."

Guo Dongyue had already walked back to the car. Zhang Zian was still worried about the renovation. He texted Guo, "My store is a pet store. Please don’t make your design too busy. Being practical is the most important."

He responded immediately, "I know! Don’t comment if you don’t know about interior design."

Zhang Zian was astonished. He used more emojis than words in his sentence.

Among all the female customers he knew, only Snowy had sent a few emojis from time to time, yet Guo was way more extravagant than Snowy.

What an arrogant man! He was almost as bad as Fina. Who wants to deal with a guy like that…?

Putting his cellphone on the desk, he lay on the recliner. Although he wasn’t practicing martial arts, he was trying to enter the zone where he could meditate…

Half of his body was sore from practicing martial arts. It was a good thing that the store was only open half-time so he could take a good rest. Until his body got used to the exercise, the renovation should be done and he could re-open the store.

As he was meditating… and about to fall asleep, his cell phone chimed.

"What’s up? So annoying!" He murmured to himself, picked up and unlocked the phone.
