As soon as she left home, Snowy hopped in a taxi and went towards Amazing Fate Pet Shop.
With her cell phone in her hand, she was going through a long struggle. Then she turned on her phone.
Tons of messages popped out as soon as she opened Weibo.
"Where has Snowy been? No live show for a few days already!"
"Is she sick?"
"Did she have an accident?"
"To the previous message: stop it, don’t jinx!"
"Sh*t! I care about Snowy, okay? She’s never disappeared like that. She would post new statuses on Weibo and WeChat even when she didn’t have live shows. Now she is completely gone!"
"Stop the fighting! We are all her fans!"
"Honestly! Who could contact Snowy and find out what is going on?"
"Why did you ask? You are a huge fan and always talk to her in the live show. You go ask her!"
"Calm down! I only talk to her online. I have never met her in person. I don’t know where she lives or her cell phone…"
"Hell! Waste of time!"
"Hey, that person! You always tip Snowy. Do you have her contact?"
"Since when do you think Snowy cares about the tips? Honestly, my tips are far from [Binhai Local]. Maybe he knows?"
"Bullsh*t! At least I know what Snowy looks like. [Binhai Local] is even more mysterious than Snowy."
Reading every message on Weibo, Snowy felt the warm hearts from all her fans. Their concerns and cares were like countless snowflakes that came down from the sky, landed on her shoulder, melted in her heart and turned into powerful support.
With her shaking hands, she started typing:
"Hello! How are you guys? I haven’t talked to you in a few days. I miss you all!"
Her tone was as pleasant as usual, yet her eyes were red. All the messages allowed her to realized that her show was in fact touching people’s lives and bringing joy to her fans.
A few seconds later…
"Holy moly! Speaking of my Snowy, here she comes!"
"I left the last message! It must be my invisible power that brought her back!"
"Oh yeah! Snowy, where have you been? We miss you!"
"Please don’t go! No matter what illness you have. I can’t live without your live show!"
"Snowy, when is your next show?"
"Snowy, did you get sick? If you are sick, you should rest!"
"Snowy, are you well?"
Snowy posted another feed, "I am sorry to worry you guys! I am fine. I was out for a few days. My show will be back on soon!"
"Snowy, if you don’t tell us, we will be worried sick! What’s wrong? We will help you."
"Yeah, Snowy. Tell us!"
She did bring her cell phone and selfie stick out of habit. She was going to wander around today and didn’t plan to host a live show. However, it looked like if she didn’t show up in the camera, her fans would keep asking! As a result, she typed, "I haven’t found a new location for a show. I am going to Amazing Fate Pet Shop to bathe my cat. If you are interested, I could have a live show there."
"Of course, we are interested. We like any show you make. Please start your show ASAP!"
"Well, I don’t want to see the ugly face of that store owner but I will take it if I can see your pretty face."
"Snowy, you have to call the police if that sexual manager bothers you."
Snowy couldn’t help but laugh at the messages.
The taxi stopped right in front of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop. Snowy paid and jumped out of the taxi with her cat bag.
She opened the live show app, and started a show in a happy voice as normal. "Hello everyone! Welcome to my live show! Our slogan is food, drinks, activities and fun in Binhai!"
Tons of audience members had already been waiting in the live broadcast room. The broadcast was full of excitement.
Normally, the audience would chat about random things at the beginning of the show. However, at this time, many of them started sending messages without Snowy finishing up, "Snowy, turn around! Quick!"
"What is it?" Snowy turned around, shocked.
On the sidewalk, right outside Amazing Fate Pet Shop, were listed many display cabinets and cages. People were still moving stock down from a truck. A red banner with white fonts were hanging up, "Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Special Promotions".
Zhang Zian, Wang Qian and Li Kun all stood at the door, watching what was happening, seriously.
No need to explain, the audience all understood. That was a rival game!
Some pedestrians stopped and looked from a distance. Some crowded together to watch this free show.
Chen Taitong played his last card. It was a desperate fight: he brought all his pets to sell right in front of Zhang Zian’s store.
He was planning to use a pricing competition and was sure the consumer would be smart enough to pick a less expensive supplier. If Zhang sold a cat for 8000 Yuan, they would sell one for 4000. If he sold a dog for 5000, he would sell it for half. He didn’t care that he would lose money over these deals as long as he could win over Zhang Zian.
Snowy ran up to Zhang Zian and asked curiously, "Mr. Manager, what are you going to do?"
"Master, you can’t suck in it anymore. They casted the first stone, right here!" Wang Qian and Li Kun were also pushing Zhang Zian to fight back. In their mind, their Master could win over Chen Taitong easily. They simply couldn’t understand.
The audience in the live broadcast room all started scolding.
"What the heck?! That is disgusting! If it was me, I would beat that guy up!"
"Ha-ha, I am glad that fat guy didn’t live in the North. Otherwise he would be dead by now. Shame on Southerners!"
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Mind your words! People that live in the South also stand up for themselves!"
"Oh! Yeah! There are people from the North in this live broadcast room? Nice!"
People loved the crowd. Many bystanders stopped and looked at the pets. Chen Taitong’s staff immediately entered fight mode, explaining to people about pets and kept comparing the price difference between their store and Zhang Zian’s.
Zhang Zian walked down the stairs towards Chen Taitong.
Wang Qian and Li Kun winked at each other and followed Zhang.
Snowy also followed, carrying her cat bag and holding up her cell phone. The fans kept reminding her to be careful in case anyone started some violence.
Chen Taitong saw Zhang Zian and put on a big smile, "Hi there, how can I help you?"
Zhang Zian shook his head, "I am not here to shop. I am the owner of this store." He pointed at Amazing Fate Pet Shop.
"Oh!" Chen Taitong faked a surprised smile and wanted a handshake, "We are in the same trade. Nice to meet you. My name is Chen Taitong."
Zhang Zian didn’t shake his hand. Even the most uneducated person would not shake his hand.
