“Hmm.”
As expected, faced with Mu You’s question, Cola just mechanically nodded his head, never taking his eyes off of his phone screen.
“Alright, stop looking, it’s time to work.”
Mu You swats at Cola’s head, reaching out to snatch the phone away.
Cola, who seconds ago was as immobile as a statue, began to screech like a slaughtered pig: “What the hell are you doing?
I hadn’t finished watching, give me back my phone now!”
All the while screaming and trying to throw himself at Mu You to take the phone back.
Mu You calmly holds him at arm’s length “I have to work, I’ll give it back to you tonight.”
“No!”
Seeing he couldn’t fight back against Mu You, Cola quickly changed his strategy, hugging Mu You’s legs with both his front legs, his eyes watery as he wailed: “Please Mu You, let me keep watching.
Don’t you understand how curious cats are?
The chuunin exams are coming up meow, if you don’t let me finish I’ll be depressed the whole day, I might even lose all my fur…”
Mu You looks down at the American short hair clinging to his right leg wailing, his heart melting.
He sighs saying “Alright…
but I need my phone.”
With that, he went to his desk drawer, taking out his spare phone.
He turns it on, connects it to the WiFi and opens up the Naruto webpage for him: “You can watch it on this instead.”
“Perfect!”
Cola cheers, immediately calming down.
He carefully takes the phone and continues watching where he left off with rapt attention.
Looking at the American short hair that just recovered his chill demeanor, Mu You rolls his eyes and goes downstairs to clean up.
Having closed the shop for two consecutive days, he expects today’s number of customers to be quite large.
As expected, the video of the hamster he had uploaded before kept gathering views.
The number of people interested in the pet store is increasing, and combined with having closed during the weekend, as soon as they opened the door today, the number of customers queued outside is more than the total from the previous days.
Since Little Ya was the only one running around the shop trying to attend everyone’s needs, Mu You had no choice but to help out.
Both of them worked nonstop from morning until 2 p.m., when the scorching weather finally thinned out the crowd, giving them a chance to catch their breath.
We really need to recruit new staff soon…”
Mu You wipes away the sweat, laughing bitterly.
He originally planned to study Star Spirit Language for the whole day, but ended up not having the slightest bit of leisure time this morning.
“Ding-lingle…”
Just then, the wind chimes at the doorstep rings, indicating a customer is entering the shop.
“Are there still customers in this hot weather?”
Mu You looks back in surprise.
The one entering is a tall and slender young woman, wearing a simple, light colored dress and a refreshing sun hat.
This girl has a pleasing figure and appearance, but what stands out the most is her elegant demeanor, attire, makeup….
everything about her is impeccable.
Even Little Ya, who’s also a woman, couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.
After a while, she quickly went up to greet her: “Hi, welcome.
How can I assist you today?”
The woman shakes her head lightly at Little Ya’s question: “I’d like to look around by myself.”
“Alright, feel free to browse at your leisure.”
Little Ya tactfully steps back.
Having worked in the shop for so long, she knows many customers prefer to look around without being disturbed.
The woman who stepped into the store at that time is Lin Xue.
Over these past few days, she had practically visited all the pet shops in K city.
Unfortunately, she still did not manage to find any trace of the hooded man.
The shop she’s currently in is the 37th pet shop she’s visited.
If she can’t find any clues here, even Lin Xue considers giving up.
The shop is not particularly large, but it’s neat and tidy and gives Lin Xue a good impression.
The air is fresh, and at least there is no overbearing odor of animal waste.
Moreover, staff here are very professional which makes her feel comfortable.
Unlike many stores where salespersons stick to customers like glue as soon as they see them, trying to sell this and that and depriving a person of the pleasure of shopping.
After taking a look around, Lin Xue moves towards the pet supplies section, stopping in front of shelves full of goods.
First, she compares the product tags.
They are very similar to the tag she found!
Just this alone doesn’t prove anything.
This type of tag is one of the most common product tags, and many shops use them.
Most importantly, she has to observe the people in the shop.
Pretending to browse the goods, Lin Xue walks through between the aisles, quietly observing the staff in the shop.
After several minutes, she has more or less figured out the situation in the shop.
There are only two staff members in this shop, one male and one female. freēwēbnovel.com
The girl from before is the salesperson, and the man sitting at the checkout counter must be the owner.
Lin Xue’s gaze mainly focuses on the man at the checkout.
After a few glances, she shakes her head in disappointment.
From the description by Little Sea, and the fleeting image of the hooded man during the livestream, Lin Xue had used a computer to reproduce the appearance of the hooded man as much as possible: he was between 190 to 195 cm tall, of average build, had short hair, a thin face, and had prominent dark circles under his eyes…
This man, whether in terms of height or figure, had no similarities with the hooded man that night.
“It seems it’s not this store…”
Lin Xue sighed regretfully, preparing to leave the store.
“Meow!”
Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly heard a cat’s meow coming from above.
Out of instinct, Lin Xue turned to look.
She saw an American Shorthair coming down the stairs on the second floor.
The cat first squatted on the ground to groom its paw, then hopped down the stairs and walked next to the man she assumed was the owner, scratching at his pants and meowing persistently.
“Oh?
Boss, is this a new cat you bought?”
Little Ya looked at the American Shorthair at her feet with surprise, wondering if the owner had changed his mind and decided to add cats and dogs back into the mix of business.
“His name is Cola, I’m raising him myself, I don’t plan to sell him.” Mu You replied with a smile.
That little rascal had been upstairs watching anime all day, and only came downstairs now because he was hungry.
“Oh.”
Little Ya didn’t ask more, and reached out to stroke the American Shorthair.
The American Shorthair didn’t avoid it, instead, he rubbed his head against her hand, afterwards he lay down and presented his belly while purring.
“Aww, Boss, he’s so adorable!” Little Ya was immediately charmed: “Cola, are you hungry?
Wait for me to get you a can of cat food…”
Looking at the American Shorthair rolling and acting cute at his feet, Mu You’s eye twitches: This damn cat has never shown this cute side to him!
Are cats all naturally good at pleasing women?
Shaking his head, Mu You ignored him.
At the checkout counter, he rummaged through the computer and found a recruitment ad from before.
He made slight modifications, printed a few copies, and went out the door with them.
Mu You then posted the recruitment ad on the glass door of the shop.
“For now, let’s just hang this up and see.
If it doesn’t attract any applicants, I’ll post another ad to a part-time job website…” Mu You thought to himself.
However, before he even finished posting the ad, he heard a voice from behind him: “Are you recruiting here?”
Mu You turns back and is surprised to see the elegant beauty from just a while ago.
“Yes, why?”
“Perfect, I’d like to apply!”
