It had never been Zhang Zian’s style to sit back and eat. He should be prepared for danger in times of peace, not to mention that he was really in danger now.
The threat of force majeure in the pet industry was not the most serious. There were many other industries that were even more unlucky, but now was not the time to be miserable. He could not help the world, so he had to find a way to protect himself first.
While he was pondering, someone suddenly knocked on the shutter door again.
Eh?
He opened the second-hand trading app to take a look. The only person who had made an appointment tonight was the person just now. Who was it this time?
“Who is it?” He asked softly.
“Me!”
A voice that was obviously older but was unusually confident came from outside the door.
Zhang Zian immediately knew which God had arrived.
“Yo! Grandma Gu! It’s so late at night, why aren’t you playing with your grandchildren at home? why do you have the time to come here? Have you had dinner?” He said through the curtain Door.
“Xiao an Zi, who was that person who just left your shop?” Grandma Gu ignored his glib tongue and went straight to the point.
“What? He’s probably just passing by?” Zhang Zian was shocked and quickly gave a perfunctory answer.
“Just passing by?” Grandma Gu was the head of the housing Committee, so she was not so easily fooled.”Zian, I’m telling you, you’re not allowed to do business privately. If you want to do business, you have to apply and the government will approve it. Do you know that?”
“I know, I know,” Zhang Zian felt that there were at least 1000 companies in the city who had applied to resume work. If even these companies had to line up, how long would his small pet shop have to line up for? The application was also in vain.
“Okay, then I’ll go first.”
“Grandma Gu, don’t you want to come in and sit for a while? I’m almost done with dinner, do you want to eat with me?” He asked.
“What do you mean by ‘sit’? it’s not good to visit. You know that I won’t go in, so you’re saying that, right?” Grandma Gu said disdainfully.
“How could I? Grandma Gu, take care!”
When Zhang Zian heard the footsteps go away, he was relieved.
As the saying goes, the county Magistrate is not as good as the current management. In the current situation, the power of the street Housing Committee and the property management of the community has greatly expanded. Although his street shop was not under the management of the property management, it was not an exaggeration to say that the housing Committee had the power to control the sky.
On this Street, he wasn’t the only shop that was secretly operating like this. After all, everyone had to make a living, especially when many people rented their shops. If their business couldn’t run, they still had to pay the rent.
The snack bar couldn’t open for business, so uncle li and his wife could only turn to take-out food that they were not familiar with. Their son, who was still in school, had to work as a part-time Meituan rider because of the delay in school. Every day, he rode an electric bike through the streets and alleys to deliver take-out food, giving priority to his family’s orders. The fertile water should not flow into others ‘fields, but there were not many people ordering take-out now. They said that the fertile water was too much, and it was at most swill.
After Lu Yiyun sent back the authentic dates he brought back from Egypt last time, she had done some other things, such as proving that she could make money, live a good life, and had many people following her comics on Weibo, so her family’s impression of her had changed, and their relationship had eased. She had originally planned to go back to her hometown during the spring Festival, but after this incident, she had no choice but to give up. She refunded her ticket and continued to stay in the rental house in the opposite community.
Jiang Feifei was the same. As a fourth-year graduate, she was one of the unluckiest batch. This year’s spring recruitment had failed, and her opportunity to work at the ocean Pavilion in San Francisco had been postponed indefinitely. She could only continue to work in the Pet Shop.
As for Wang Qian and Li Kun, they were the happiest. They played like crazy. However, after staying at home for a long time, their parents disliked them more and more. They thought that they played games all day and didn’t know how to study. They quarreled every day, so as long as there was a chance, they would sneak out and hide in the Pet Shop. They stayed from dawn to dusk, all day long.
Little celery, like other children, was tortured by nails and online classes every day. She was lively by nature, and she couldn’t stand this kind of life of being cooped up at home all day. She was also worried about the rabbits in school.
The other person who was being tortured was snowy. She had no choice but to switch from an outdoor live broadcast to an indoor live broadcast. Her live broadcast content was mainly about her Persian cat, and occasionally there was a Husky.
The worst was sun Xiaomeng’s family’s breeding farm, which was just short of hanging a sign that said,”pets are unsalable, help us.”
Zhang Zian would occasionally sell one or two pets here, mainly new customers introduced by old customers. During this period of confinement, many people felt bored and raised a cat or dog to relieve their boredom, but the trading process was even more thrilling. Because pets were not cat or dog food that could be carried away, they had to at least be checked carefully to see if it was the same one they had seen through the video, as well as if there were any hidden diseases and so on. It would take some time, so Vladimir had to lead the stray cats outside to keep watch. This was to prevent grandma Gu from suddenly being caught off guard and getting all the favor.
The most worrying thing was Shi Shi and Liu sanlang’s Christmas wedding. They had met too many people and gone to too many places during their wedding and honeymoon. As soon as they returned to Binhai city, they were forced to be quarantined. If this continued, their time together would be very short. He hoped that they would take safety measures.
Zhao Qi was very worried. This natural and man-made disaster had affected the private company that she and Liu sanlang worked in. People were saying that the company was going to lay off staff. This made her feel that the civil servants she had looked down on before were the ones with the highest salary. So she had been staying at home recently, playing with her cat and preparing for the civil service exam. Her lan lan was almost bald.
Almost everyone’s life was impacted and affected by this event. Everyone’s life trajectory and direction were quietly changing. It was not an exaggeration to say that this event had aroused everyone’s sense of urgency.
It was the same for Zhang Zian. He had nothing to do and analyzed the living conditions of his acquaintances around him. He found that the more people focused on the real economy, the more serious the impact was, and the new economy that relied on the internet was less affected. For example, snowy could temporarily switch from outdoor to indoor, and her fans didn’t think much of it, because everyone was first and foremost a fan of her, and then the content of her live broadcast.
So, he had a bold idea. Yingying, why don’t I do a live broadcast too?
He used to fantasize that he could earn a million a month by doing a live broadcast of cleaning cats ‘poop, but at that time, he felt that there was no future. Besides, the Pet Shop was doing well, and he was so busy every day. He also had to participate in the elves’ Affairs, so where would he have the time to do a live broadcast?
Now that he had the time, he had always thought that he was a man who was handsome enough to make a living with his face.
Perhaps an Auntie would take a fancy to him, and he wouldn’t have to work hard anymore …
