Chapter 1731: Chapter 707: The Old House

"Mom, just come and take a look... You know how deep my feelings for Lottery are, so why can’t we give it a meaningful farewell ceremony?"

At the mouth of the alley, a mother and daughter caught the attention of a few passersby. The daughter looked like she had just graduated from middle school, petite and delicate, pulling pitifully at her mother.

The mother was a sophisticated woman in her thirties, quite beautiful, but her overly serious demeanor and rimless glasses created a barrier, clearly someone not easy to approach.

"Didn’t your father say he already found a suitable place in the countryside to bury it? Why waste this money?"

The mother frowned, "This so-called pet funeral, it’s just a bunch of flashy ceremonies, what’s the point?"

"Sister, that doesn’t sound quite right, does it?"

Zhou Wang, who had noticed the argument at the entrance, walked out with a cheerful smile. He adjusted his sunglasses and looked at the daughter, "Little sister, is the ’Lottery’ you mentioned a cat or a dog?"

"It’s a cat. It got sick and died a few days ago..."

The little girl puckered her lips, looking very sad.

"What did you call me?"

The sophisticated woman was surprised by Zhou Wang’s address. She looked up to take stock of the young man in front of her.

Even wearing sunglasses, it seemed hard to hide the handsome appearance of this young shop owner. With a height of over 1.8 meters, paired with a clearly tailored custom suit devoid of logos, he didn’t seem like he walked out of an old small shop but off an international fashion show stage...

The woman’s heartbeat inexplicably quickened, and she dared not look at Zhou Wang any longer.

She suddenly recalled that these days, in the community group chat, a few women had been chattering about an interesting new shop nearby, saying the owner looked like a celebrity.

Turns out they were talking about this young man...

"Sorry, it was subconscious. If you find ’sister’ inappropriate, I can call you ’madam.’ May I know your surname, madam?"

"Um, my surname is Liu... It’s not really inappropriate."

The sophisticated woman smoothed her hair on her forehead, her heart inexplicably racing, and her initially stern expression softened inadvertently.

"Here’s the thing, Sister Liu, I must explain, you might have some misunderstandings about the pet funeral industry."

"Oh?"

"What we provide is not just service, but also respect to deceased family members, a dignified farewell, and an important psychological healing process. Someone like you, wise and experienced, should understand that when it comes to emotional value, some things are priceless..."

Zhou Wang patted the young girl’s head, "You wouldn’t want your daughter to remain immersed in grief for long, would you, burdened with misunderstanding from her parents?"

The sophisticated woman was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Do you have a more detailed introduction?"

"Of course, please come in. We have professionals responsible for explaining detailed procedures."

Zhou Wang pointed towards the shop.

"Aren’t you going to explain to me?"

The woman hesitated.

"I will certainly accompany and provide supplementary explanations..."

Only then did the woman nod reservedly, walking into the shop with her daughter, who had regained some cheerfulness.

Zhou Wang sighed, reached up to rub his temples, muttering, "This one’s probably settled, but why is it another female customer?"

It was already the second day after opening, and this was the fourth customer Zhou Wang had secured, attracted by flyers and unique location. However, the issue was... All the clients seemed to be women.

Moreover, Zhou Wang’s presence seemed to play some unknown positive factor in the process.

So, as proven, being handsome, just like being beautiful, can bring advantages no matter the field...

"Excuse me, are you an actor? You look familiar."

Just then, a voice reached him from the side. Zhou Wang turned to see two girls who looked like tourists curiously assessing him, eyes shining brightly.

"No, I guess I just resemble someone..."

Zhou Wang chuckled, not giving them more time to observe, turning back into the shop.

Behind him, the two girls continued murmuring, encouraging each other, but before they could muster the courage to ask for his WhatsApp, Zhou Wang had already disappeared into the entrance, leaving them to depart regretfully.

Half an hour later, the sophisticated woman paid the deposit and added Zhou Wang’s work WhatsApp, leaving satisfied with her daughter.

"Brother Dog, why do I feel like all my prepared professional pitches were in vain?"

Yang Hao, also wearing a custom suit and sunglasses like Zhou Wang, looked neat and sharp. He stood up to archive the agreement, complaining.

"I feel that woman didn’t even listen to me; she kept secretly looking at you... Ah, I think I don’t need to say much; just give her your WhatsApp, and she’d happily pay."

"Stop talking nonsense, isn’t this just giving you a chance to get familiar with the business?"

Zhou Wang glared at him, "There will definitely be more demanding clients later, so hurry up and figure out those scripts clearly. That way, I’ll trust you to manage the branch stores in the future."

"This first shop just opened, and you’re already thinking about branches. Amazing, genius thinking is beyond my comprehension... Just like I can’t understand why you’re leaving a good company president position to go back to this line of work."
