Chapter 78: Fighting for Your Rights

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhao Qi had to work overtime again tonight. There was no announcement about the overtime until about 30 minutes before closing time. Most people thought that they would be able to go home on time, but unfortunately had to stay late.

The b*tchy assistant went right back to her office after the announcement of overtime before people even started complaining. Right then people heard two loud sneezes from her office and then the noise of her cleaning her nose. Although super annoyed by having to work overtime tonight, Zhao Qi and Shi Shi smiled at each other when they heard her sneeze. Shi Shi secretly put her thumb up at Zhao Qi.

The b*tchy assistant embarrassed herself again in today’s meeting. She sneezed four or five times before even finishing one sentence. Her eyes were watery from all the sneezing. Some male coworkers that didn’t know about the situation worried about her not recovering from her cold for such a long time. She replied that maybe someone had a cat. She was allergic to cat hair. Zhao Qi was delighted in her heart because of what the b*tchy assistant had done to her.

In order to cover up her plan, Zhao Qi wore a different jacket every day, five styles in five days. In fact, she continued to wear the same jackets without cleaning them so that more cat hair could get on the jackets. Her jackets turned into her biological weapon towards the b*tchy assistant.

Finally, they got out of work. It was already dark. Zhao Qi and Shi Shi ate dinner at Pizza Hut.

After ordering, while they were still waiting for food, Zhao Qi pulled out her cell phone.

"What are you looking at?" Shi Shi stuck her head over. "Funny video or hot guys?"

"Looking at my little princess," Zhao Qi replied.

Shi Shi’s eyes glazed over and she lost interestimmediately. "Oh, your cat again!"

Zhao Qi installed a smart camera at home for security reasons and also to keep an eye on Lan Lan so she knew if Lan Lan ate on time from the timed feeder.

Every morning and during the weekend, Zhao Qi would feed Lan Lan after soaking the cat food in water. She could not do that when she was at work. As per instruction from Zhang Zian, it was best to feed young kittens and old cats with cat food pre-soaked with warm water. If a young kitten or an older cat ate dry cat food, they then would go drink water. The dry cat food could easily expand after absorbing water and hurt their digestion system, which could lead to indigestion or diarrhea.

At this time, the timed feeder came in handy. It fed the cat at a certain time and a certain amount so the cat would not overeat and drinking water would not be a problem. Her kitten might have gotten a bad stomach if she put out a full bowl of cat food and the kitten could eat whenever she wanted.

Seeing that Lan Lan was being good and was eating as planned, Zhao Qi felt relieved. She always felt bad for Lan Lan. She worked all the time, and sometimes overtime. She also went out on weekends. It had to be very lonely for Lan Lan.

Maybe she should buy another cat to accompany Lan Lan. She started seriously thinking about this problem.

If Zhang Zian knew her thoughts, he would have shown off and said, "I told you. Dog keepers usually only have one dog, but cat keepers usually have a whole bunch."

The reason was that raising a dog is like raising a kid. Less is more.

Many people raise a cat because cats are cute. Every cat is cute. Cat keepers always fall in love with different cats. It is like an emperor with a group of concubines that are different in figure and personality.

Something suddenly came up in Zhao Qi’s mind. She interrupted Shi Shi with her arm. "Shi Shi, what if my future boyfriend doesn’t like cats? What would you say?" Shi Shi was looking at handsome male celebrities’ pictures on her phone.

Shi Shi stopped and thought really carefully. "Then you will have to see who is more important to you."

"Bull sh*t. Of course Lan Lan is more important," Zhao Qi spoke seriously.

"… You are hopeless," Shi Shi’s face was filled with sorrow as if she was looking at a friend that had four-stage cancer. "Well, you’ve reminded me that I should never get a cat."

After dinner, they both got on the subway to go home separately.

As Zhao Qi opened the door, Lan Lan approached and meowed, as if she was saying that Zhao Qi was late again today.

"I am sorry, honey. Working overtime again tonight." Zhao Qi kicked off her shoes as she spoke. Her feet hurt from those shoes!

She put down her purse on the cabinet by the door and picked up Lan Lan. "Let’s see. Did you put on weight? Come on. Sister is going to weigh you."

Every fashionable girl should have a scale at home.

"Yo! You put on 150 grams again." She put Lan Lan on the smart scale, opened the App and saw Lan Lan’s weight graph. It was a slow upward curve.

After weighing Lan Lan, she turned around, about to leave, then changed her mind and stepped up on the scale

"… The scale has to be broken. I should get a new one." She picked up Lan Lan and left the bathroom without any expression on her face. In her mind, she swore that she would never eat unhealthy food like Pizza Hut again.

Before she had Lan Lan, Zhao Qi would lay on the couch for half an hour surfing on social media after work, but now she always picked up some cat food from around the feeder and put fresh water in the water bowl for Lan Lan.

She took a shower then started her mask. Lan Lan looked at her, turned around and played in the living room.

It was normal. Every time she put a mask on her face, Lan Lan would not listen to her, no matter how hard she tried. Sometimes, she picked her up, but Lan Lan would struggle and jump off. She went back to normal after she took off her mask.

Putting on a mask was in her routine. She had to maintain herself in order to have better luck with boys.

Zhao Qi turned on the computer with the mask on her face. She felt that it was the perfect time for the computer. Maybe the mask could stop some radiation from the computer.

She surfed online for a little bit, and then went to Wang Haige Forum.

The forum turned into a much better place after the internet water army from Stars Pet Chain Supermarket was cleaned up. There was moderate recruitment advertising in the banner area, but she was not interested.

"Hmmm, what about all these posts with videos?" She was murmuring to herself, "What are they showing off this time, a cat or a dog?"

One of the posts was titled, "Tested Myself! An Amazing Cat!"

What kind of cat is an amazing cat?

She was curious, so she clicked it.

The post said, "I heard from my friends from this forum that cats from Amazing Fate Pet Shop have special skills. I was very skeptical. A coworker happened to ask me to buy a cat for her, so I bought a British shorthair cat from them to find out what that special skill is."

She played the video.

There was a British shorthair in the video, about same age as Lan Lan.

It was filmed at home. You could tell from the wood flooring.

The person who posted the video didn’t show her face. You could only hear claps and conversations.

The person clapped three times.

The British shorthair immediately paid full attention, looking just like when Lan Lan heard the UPS guy at the door.

The person snapped her fingers.

The British shorthair started walking in a figure-8, and then ended where she started.

The person snapped again. The cat did it again.

The person clapped twice.

The British shorthair relaxed.

The video ended.

Zhao Qi was speechless.

Although time was not up yet, she quickly pulled off her mask, rushed to Lan Lan and clapped three times at her. She then also snapped her fingers.

Lan Lan was full of questions.

Zhao Qi, "what?!"

How come my Lan Lan doesn’t have the special skill?

It was already too late at night, otherwise Zhao Qi would’ve run to the store to interrogate Zhang Zian.

However, after she cooled down, she decided to visit her neighbor, Liu Wenying, to find out if her Siamese cat had the special skill. If not…Zhang Zian, just wait! I will fight for my rights!
