Chapter 1448: Internship Application
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This is an invitation from the Matthew Davis Cancer Research Foundation, inviting Zhang Zian to San Francisco to attend the foundation’s 20th-anniversary celebration.
The Foundation also invited him to tell Kathy’s story to more people at the ceremony.
Of course, as a foundation, obviously, it considered his status as a Chinese. Inviting him to attend can show the foundation’s growing influence and the determination of people around the world to join forces to fight cancer.
On the one hand, Zhang Zian felt that this honor should be attributed to Kathy, and he did not feel right leeching off her. On the other hand, he also hoped that more people could hear Kathy’s story.
He fluctuated between acceptance and decline of the invitation. After all, there are still some small unresolved problems here in Binhai City, but suddenly he thought about the origin of that American dog food. It seems to be from San Francisco. If he goes there, maybe he can get an answer. He still had some doubt, but doing this is tantamount to adding a heavyweight to the balance on the “acceptance” side.
Netizens in the live broadcast room were very curious because when Snowy’s camera occasionally swept across his face, they saw that he had a rare serious expression on his face as if he was thinking about something important.
What letter was that?
It came from a foreign country. Could it be that some of his foreign relatives died, leaving him a large legacy? Today, perhaps his riches are going to be harvested…
After lunch, suspect Y followed Aunty Li to choose cats, and she planned to adopt three stray cats.
Aunty Li gave her a lot of cat bags, cat food, and sawdust cat litter.
However, the problem now is that she is carrying so many things; it is impossible to go back by riding a shared bicycle. However, she does not want to call a taxi as it is in violation of environmental protection principles. In the end, she can only call for an electric car running taxi.
She got into the car, held up the note in her hand, and pointed it to Zhang Zian, “One yard at a time, I will go back today, but I will call you.”
In fact, she is already 70% to 80% sure. She feels that Zhang Zian is the owner of the pet shop that is famous for cats dancing. However, from the previous lesson, she was shocked and learned that she was not ready enough. She will be beaten. Although she still doesn’t believe there is any way to teach kittens to dance without abusing them, her confidence has dropped from 100% to 99%. Perhaps it may be like the environmentally-friendly reuse of sawdust cat litter. There is always something she doesn’t understand in this world.
Zhang Zian shrugged, watched the electric car go away, and reminded himself that if she was not calling but adding him as a WeChat friend, he must remember to block the soft advertising of her message amongst her circle of friends.
Snowy was also relieved, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Zian, because she didn’t say that she would finish her lunch outside before going home, and it is estimated that her mother had already prepared and waiting for her with a meal.
Zhang Zian drove the car back to the door of his store and stopped, carrying a foam incubator with packed lunches and roasted chicken breasts. Both the shop assistants and the elves were impatiently waiting. They were hungry.
“Master, where did you go? Did you forget that you still have a group of lovely staff waiting to be fed?” Wang Qian lifted the lid of the box and couldn’t wait to snatch a box of lunch and snorted.
“The word ‘cute’ is so superfluous.” Zhang Zian shared the roasted chicken breasts with the elves, and when he passed it to Fina, he put on rubber gloves for washing cats in advance. Otherwise, he felt that there would also be a scratch on his hand. He does not need that as he does not need to interview for a job.
“What is this?”
Li Kun noticed Zhang Zian’s invitation letter and asked curiously.
It was too hot at noon, and people were too lazy to go out at this time. There was no guest in the shop, so Zhang Zian didn’t hide it and talked about the invitation letter again.
Fina, who was burning with hunger, didn’t intend to let him off by delaying the royal meal, and Snowy Lionet, who was on the other side of the air conditioner, had already put on a fierce cat pose, ready to execute her orders. However, hearing that currently, it is cool, dry weather in San Francisco, they decided to let him go for now.
The humid and sweltering weather in Binhai City is driving them crazy. Although the absolute temperature is far below that of Egypt, the humidity in the air almost make everyone not to be able to withstand it. They can’t even leave the air conditioner for a moment.
In addition, everyone, whether it be Zhang Zian, shop assistants, or the customers, is full of a sour smell.
“San…San Francisco? Master, we have to go too! You don’t take us to Los Angeles, and you don’t take us to Germany, you don’t take us to Egypt, so you should take us this time! It is summer vacation now!”
Wang Qian and Li Kun were about to cry without tears and were almost kneeling. In the summer vacation, their wealthy classmates showed various photos of foreign travel amongst their circle of friends, which made them envious and jealous. They also wanted to go to San Francisco to take photos.
“You will have a chance in the future. Besides, I haven’t decided whether to go or not,” Zhang Zian refused decisively.
Jiang Feifei suddenly thought of something, and asked, “There seems to be a very famous aquarium in San Francisco?”
“Well, yes, and more than one.”
When Zhang Zian was eating just now, he used his mobile phone to check the map of San Francisco and replied, “There are three aquariums in the San Francisco area. The first is the San Francisco Aquarium. The second is the San Diego Aquarium, famous for its killer whale performances; the third is the Monterey Aquarium, which is a very professional aquarium and an important marine experimental base, where many researchers work. ”
Jiang Feifei was envious. She had certain thoughts in her heart, but she was embarrassed to say it, because it was really whimsical and impractical, and because she thought it might be too much trouble for Zhang Zian.
But this opportunity is really rare, and may even be related to her life’s future. If she misses it, she will regret it in retrospect.
“That…” She said restlessly.
“What’s the matter? Just say anything, learn from these two cheeky boys with such thick skin.” Zhang Zian pointed to Wang Qian and Li Kun.
Jiang Feifei firmly decided in her heart a few times and finally said, “Well…if the store manager finally decides to go to San Francisco, can you help me ask the three aquariums if they…recruit international staff…or interns? Any aquarium is fine. I’m not picky! ”
Zhang Zian was surprised. “Which three aquariums do you want to work or do an internship in?”
“Um,” she nodded. “Actually, I want to find a job in a domestic aquarium, but because I did not study a related major, people don’t even give me the opportunity to do an internship. However, I really want to try…if those three aquariums accepted me for a short internship, that will be really nice…”
“No problem, if I go, I will help you ask.” He promised, although this may mean that the store will be stretched, manpower wise. However, this is her dream and should be supported.
Chapter 1449: Emergency
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It is cold before three in the morning and after nine at night. It is the hottest at three in the afternoon. Once we hit that timing, the weather is so hot and humid it becomes unbearable.
Although the climate has become more and more abnormal in recent years, it has been a bit too hot this year.
The pet shop is an old house. Although it was renovated recently, it has not been fundamentally modified. The heat insulation effect is still not very good, especially in places with dense water pipes such as kitchens, bathrooms, and pet baths. At this time, a lot of water vapor condensed, dripping and dripping constantly. Even the walls were wet to the touch. Even if the air conditioner was turned on, there was not much improvement, because there were only two air conditioners on the second floor, and each bedroom had only one. They were also running on a small power split machine, which had a limited cooling effect.
What’s even more uncomfortable is the low air pressure over Binhai, which makes people feel very stuffy.
“Meow meow! Going to the toilet is almost like stepping into the rain!” Snowy Lionet complained.
“Ah! There are bugs! Some bugs have climbed up from the sewer!” Shihua screamed in the bathroom.
Early in the morning, the residents of the pet shop noisily clamored.
The old-fashioned bungalows and low floor buildings are easily invaded by insects in the summer. This is made especially worse due to the smell and feces of so many cats and dogs in the store, which is more attractive to insects.
“It doesn’t matter if there are bugs, aren’t those bugs in the sea more disgusting than those on land?”
Zhang Zian picked up a pack of insecticide and poured it into the leak in the sewer. As for the bug that crawled out, it was long unknown where the hell it went.
“The bugs in the sea won’t crawl into my bathtub!” Shihua frowned, unplugged the bathtub, and unscrewed the faucet to change the water in the bathtub. This is because the water that had been soaked all night by her and was already warm and not comfortable at all.
“Zhang Zian, you don’t need to make tea, I can’t drink it because of the heat.”
Old Time Tea stopped him from boiling water.
Like humans, when animals are older, their ability to regulate body temperature also worsens. Old Time Tea will lie on a small blanket in spring, autumn, and winter to prevent its belly from touching the floor for a long time and catch a cold. However, now, the small blanket is removed, and the coldness of the floor is directly absorbed by the body to alleviate the heat.
In fact, the air conditioner is already running at full power. Unfortunately, the shop area is large, and there are many pets, and sometimes customers come to the store to bathe the pets. When the steam diffuses from the bathroom, the air conditioner seems to be completely unable to work.
“Stop! I want to ask you something. San Francisco, is it really cool and pleasant at this time?” Fina stopped him as he was going to open the store.
“As far as I know, this should be the case,” Zhang Zian nodded. “The weather over there is special. It may be a little hot at noon during the day, but it is very cold at night, and it hardly rains. There will be a lot of fog in some places. Other cities in the United States are not much better than Binhai City during this season.”
As soon as she heard that, Fina’s eyes lit up. Although she didn’t continue to say anything, the implication was already obvious. If she was forced to say it out, the scene would be awkward.
“Quack!” Richard fell on his shoulders with his wings flapping. “I heard that San Francisco is a very open city, a vibrant city that belongs to young people, especially the LGBT community, where you can get equality and tolerant treatment, no matter what bold ideas you have in your heart. You can finally release your long-depressed wildness under the rainbow of six colors… ”
“Go! I don’t have any bold ideas in my heart!”
Zhang Zian raised his hand and shooed it away, although what it said was generally true. This is because the nearby Silicon Valley gathered the best young people from all over the world, San Francisco is indeed a city with a broad mindset. People of all nationalities, religions, customs, and sexual orientations don’t wear colored glasses to look at themselves. However, that statement makes him feel like he was deliberately going to San Francisco to come out of the closet…
“A trip to San Francisco is not impossible, but you have to consider the cost-effectiveness of it-this time there is no scientific research team to bear the back and forth travel costs, and this foundation’s activities are purely honorary. If you go, you have to pay for your own travel expenses, including eating and drinking…Besides…” He glanced at the grey sky outside through the window.” Besides, the rainy season in Binhai is here, and maybe a typhoon will pass. I m worried that if I leave, the store will be blistered and filled with water…”
To put it plainly, they are all talking without thinking through the consequences!
According to the invitation letter of the Foundation, if it is not convenient to participate in person, you can record a video and send it to the Foundation’s mailbox, so whether or not he goes, Cathy’s story can be known to more people through the video.
Vladimir said with regret. “It would be great if we could nail a wedge in the heart of the capitalist world!”
Wait a minute. Why did it change its tone to that of Zhen Yuan? It seemed that the weather was so hot that Vladimir’s head was made dizzy too…
In fact, let alone the elves, Zhang Zian himself also doesn’t want to stay in Binhai on a hot day. Who doesn’t want to travel? However, not everyone can simply leave everything behind and simply go on a trip.
However, there is not much time left for him to consider. If he decides to go to San Francisco, he must leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, he may not be able to keep up with the Foundation’s celebration, so he will be going there for nothing.
Zhang Zian opened the shutter door, and the staff arrived on time. They lived not far from the pet shop, but even though they walked a short distance, the back of their clothes were wet with sweat.
“So hot!”
“It’s so hot! It’s so hot!”
Wang Qian and Li Kun spat their tongues out like dogs and panted quickly, constantly fanning themselves with their palms.
Even Lu Yiyun, who is not afraid of heat, has sweat beads on the tip of her nose.
“Mr. Store manager, have you considered it?” Jiang Feifei cares more about Zhang Zian’s decision than others.
“Uh…”
Zhang Zian supported her in pursuing her dream, but after a thorough understanding of the situation, he felt that the feasibility of her internship in the United States was not high. Even if those aquariums intended to recruit her as an intern or even as a regular employee, where would she live? San Francisco’s housing price has surpassed New York, becoming the highest in the United States. The rent is astoundingly high, and her family’s background is rather ordinary. Also, it is a foreign place to her, and it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold after going there.
He was going to persuade her to think more and not to act rashly. At this time, he saw Sun Xiaomeng rushing past the door of the shop and did not stop.
From a glimpse of her through the window, he saw her yawning and carrying dark circles on her eyelids while driving.
After hiring a nurse to help, she usually does not go to the clinic so early unless there is an emergency.
“You go to the store first and wait for me to come back later.” He gestured wildly to the shop assistants and got them to start working.
He stepped forward, opened up his steps, and walked towards the pet clinic
