was incredibly wealthy. It looked like it was all true. At the time, Cleopatra VII almost turned the Roman Kingdom into a province of Egypt. This once again proved the golden statement – men conquer the world; women conquer men and cats conquer women.
Even now, a purebred Egyptian cat is very rare. It pretty much didn’t exist in China. Zhang Zian had never seen a purebred Egyptian cat before, not to mention a cat like Fina, the original Egyptian cat from 2000 years ago. Until the man offered two hundred thousand Yuan to purchase Fina, he realized how valuable she was. However, he would’ve never anticipated that she was the beloved pet of the Cleopatra VII.
"Master?"
"Mr. Manager?"
The crowd started questioning, seeing that Zhang Zian didn’t speak for such a long time.
Lea rubbed her eyes and said, "Mr. Manager was right. It was not you that picked the cat. It was a mutual selection."
Jiang Qianxue held her Persian cat tightly, buried her face in the cat’s hair and quietly cried.
Xiao Yan was deeply touched. "I found my cat on the street one year ago. It was raining cats and dogs that day. She was in a paper carton, all wet. She was quiet and watching people walk by. Whenever a person approached her, she would scare them away."
Zhang Zian sighed and said, "She had to be waiting for her master to take her home."
"I don’t even know why. Maybe it was what you called chemistry. When I saw her, I thought to myself that I could not leave her behind," she gently rubbed the Dragon-Li, "so I took her home with the carton and named her ‘Rainy’. She was fierce when I first got her. She left a mess in my apartment, knocked over her food bowl and water bowl…even now, a year later, she isn’t close to me. She fights especially bad whenever I try to bathe her."
Zhang Zian analyzed, "She might be deeply hurt from the memory that she was abandoned in a rainy day. Whenever she got wet, she thought that she was going to be abandoned again so she would fight. No one wants to be abandoned twice."
"Could she... take a bath like a normal cat?" Xiao Yan looked up. Her eyes were red.
Zhang Zian wasn’t sure. This Dragon-Li was as wild as one could get. This one was hurt when she was a kitten, so she had to be extremely alert and offensive against humans. He looked at Fina in hope of getting some input from her.
At some point, Fina laid down again, closed her eyes, nodded slightly and meowed.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan felt the tension in her cat relax and she softly laid on her feet. The cat raised her head. Instead of vigilance, there was trust and peace in her eyes.
"You may bathe your cat now. Are you clear with all the steps?" Zhang Zian asked.
"Yes, but…"
"Don’t worry," he said.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, picked up the Dragon-Li cat and walked in the bathing room. Her cat didn’t struggle at all. That was not like her.
The whole bathing process was super smooth. It was like a completely new cat. Even Xiao Yan could not believe her eyes. Even more surprisingly, she started making cute meow sounds like a kitten. She even licked her arms. This had never happened before! If it was in other places, she would have already begun making threatening low roars.
As everyone was focused on the Dragon-Li, Zhang Zian quietly walked to Fina and asked, "What did you say to her?"
Fina said peacefully, "I just told her, don’t worry. Your master will not leave you behind. You can trust and rely on her."
Holy moly! What a genius golden cat!

Fina’s history wasn’t fully disclosed here. There will be a separate chapter to fully introduce her. There is a small part of her history in this chapter due to its relevance to the story.
