ce anyways. He didn’t expect to have customers spend 300 Yuan to bathe their cat every day. The bathing room was empty. If he could make something out of it, it was better than nothing.
Aunt Liu’s smile was even bigger and her tone was comforting, "That’s fine. You look so young. I am guessing you have not had many bad experiences, so I just wanted to remind you. Look, you are very polite and your skin is beautiful. You would look stunning if you changed your hair and got a new pair of glasses."
Aunt Liu thought the girl would fall for her. However, she didn’t know Lu Yi Yun was a female otaku that was truly disappointed in the real world. She was immune from Aunt Liu’s tricks.
"Hmmm…" Lu Yi Yun was just about to ask Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian pointed at the note on the door of the bathing room and simply said, "Self-service cat bathing, 300 yuan per use."
Aunt Liu was worried that Lu Yi Yun didn’t understand and she explained, "Young lady, listen! You have to pay 300 yuan for one use. You also have to bathe your cat on your own. He will not do anything to help."
Lu Yi Yun thought for a second and said, "but I don’t know how to bathe a cat…"
Aunt Liu started to get impatient. She spent all that time and the young lady wasn’t getting her point! She raised three fingers and emphasized, "300 yuan per use! It is 300 yuan!"
Lu Yi Yun nodded, "I know, but I don’t know how to bathe a cat…"
She was so confused. What on earth was this old lady was trying to do?
Aunt Liu was astonished. Is this girl smart? A normal person should respond: What?! Why is it so expensive? This store is a rip-off. I am not coming here! I will expose you online about the rip-off.
From Lu Yi Yun’s perspective, she was willing to spend all her money for Jasmine. She didn’t know the price in other pet stores. Even if she knew, she would not change her mind simply because Snowy picked this store! Snowy’s selection of stores were all on the pricey side, but they were all super special and they never disappointed Lu Yi Yun. She believed in Snowy’s choice and came here because of her.
Zhang Zian interrupted at the right time, "It doesn’t matter that you don’t know how. It is actually very simple. I will stay right by your side. If you get stuck, I will help you."
"Perfect." Lu Yi Yun’s reply was short. "May I start now?"
"Of course, please come this way." Zhang Zian pointed to the bathing room.
Lu Yi Yun walked right by Aunt Liu as if she didn’t exist.
"Should I pay now or later?" she asked.
"Either way is fine," Zhang Zian said.
"I will pay now." She put her cat on the floor, open her wallet and pulled out some money.
Zhang Zian squatted down to look at her cat. "Nice cat. A hybrid of Persian and chinchilla?"
Lu Yi Yun smiled for the first time since she entered the store. "Thank you." It was her first time knowing what breed Jasmine was.
Aunt Liu was shocked, thinking to herself, "She didn’t even respond when I praised her for her looks. Now this guy said something nice about her cat and she was thrilled? Why would she spend that kind of money to bathe her cat when she only wore lousy clothes?"
Aunt Liu simply could not comprehend.
All in all, everyone had a particular value in their heart.
Aunt Liu looked at her cat as a pet that was not worth spending money on. Raising children could bring great returns when they grew up. However, raising a pet could never lead to material gain.
To Lu Yi Yun, Jasmine was not only a pet, but a companion, best friend and a force pushing her to be a better person. This was how experience and value caused the difference in consumption.
The former was not Zhang Zian’s target customer, but the latter sure was.
