Chapter 218: Chapter 219: Partnership with the Pet Store

Li Yang wore a calm expression as he gently stroked Budong’s head.

Miss Wang knew that Budong was very wary of strangers. She never expected it to let Li Yang stroke it like that—it even seemed to be enjoying it.

"You..." Miss Wang was at a loss for words.

"It’s nothing serious..." Li Yang glanced at the cat. "It’s mainly indigestion caused by food stagnation. I’ll give her a little massage to help clear her system, and she’ll be much better after that. By the way, you should probably change the cat food you’re using. This one might not agree with her."

As he spoke, Li Yang began to massage Budong.

Budong was very docile, letting out a soft meow as soon as Li Yang began. About ten minutes later, Li Yang stopped.

Budong stood up and affectionately licked Li Yang’s fingers, as if to thank him.

This time, its previous listless demeanor was completely gone.

Miss Wang was stunned. "She’s all better?"

"She’s fine now!" Li Yang said with a smile. "It was just a bit of indigestion, nothing serious. I helped her with a massage, so of course she’s better now."

"Thank you!" Miss Wang thanked Li Yang profusely. "Budong has been like this for several days, and I couldn’t solve the problem. I can’t believe you fixed it. I’m truly grateful."

Li Yang smiled. "You’re welcome. By the way, are you Chairman Wang Su?"

Miss Wang paused, asking in surprise, "Yes, that’s right. I’m Wang Su. And you are?"

"That’s wonderful!" Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He had been right. "My name is Li Yang, and this is Qin Susu. I wonder if you’ve heard of our brand, Lenghu Mountain Spring Water."

"I have..." Wang Su nodded. "They’ve been running commercials for it on TV."

"Yes, that’s the one!" Li Yang nodded. "The reason I came looking for you is that I was hoping to get permission to promote our brand in the community."

Wang Su understood now. Given that Li Yang had cured her cat, she was willing to hear him out. "If you want to promote your product here, my approval alone won’t be enough. You’ll also need permission from property management."

"In that case, could we ask you, Chairman Wang, to recommend us to the other residents?" Li Yang said earnestly. "We’re a local brand, sourced from the lake in Gaodi Town. You should visit when you have a moment—the water quality is truly much better than the others. Our test results are all first-rate. We used to sell only to factories, but now we want to sell directly to households, which is why we’ve come to you to give it a shot."

"I believe I’ve heard of it..." Wang Su said after a moment of thought. "But I don’t know any of the specifics."

"Here’s one of our sample bottles!" Qin Susu took a bottle of water from her backpack and handed it to Miss Wang.

Miss Wang opened it, took a sip, and said with some surprise, "It actually tastes very good."

An idea sparked in Li Yang’s mind, and he mentally issued a command to the cat.

The cat suddenly began pawing at Miss Wang, seeming to beg for a drink.

"Budong, what are you doing?" Miss Wang was confused. "Do you want some water?"

Budong nodded, still pawing at her.

"Alright, alright..." Miss Wang gently poured some water out for it.

Budong opened its mouth and lapped it up. GULP, GULP.

"Budong, you never drink this much water!" Miss Wang was dumbfounded.

Li Yang smiled to himself. ’That’s because I hadn’t ordered her to drink. Of course she wouldn’t have before.’

"You see, Miss Wang? Even your cat loves it," Li Yang said earnestly. "I noticed her digestive system seems a little weak—she has trouble digesting. Cats are just like people, you know. Drinking poor-quality water is bad for their health. Our water is excellent quality, and your little cat loves it. I think you should buy it for her. It’s a win-win."

Miss Wang was truly baffled.

It took her a moment to process everything. "Your water really is different," she said. "I can’t believe my Budong loves it this much."

"Exactly!" Qin Susu, who had been watching in amazement, quickly chimed in. "My Dahuang is also a huge fan of it. Our water just tastes that good."

"In that case, sign me up for twenty jugs to start," Wang Su decided on the spot. "Go ahead and set up an account for me."

"Of course!" Qin Susu said happily. "I’ll set up your account right now."

"By the way, how much is it per jug?"

"Twenty-eight."

"That’s rather expensive, but the quality is indeed good..." Wang Su nodded.

Once the account was created, Wang Su paid.

"Miss Wang, please remember to recommend us," Li Yang said.

"I will," Wang Su nodded. "I’ll put in a good word for you."

"Thank you so much!" Li Yang said with a smile.

"Not bad at all!" Qin Susu watched Wang Su leave, then turned to Li Yang with an amazed expression. "I never knew you had a few tricks up your sleeve."

Li Yang gave a faint smile. "A few tricks? I have plenty more than that."

With that, Li Yang turned to the pet store employee. "Excuse me..."

The pet store’s owner, a charming and pretty young woman, quickly came over. "Sir, are you a veterinarian?"

Li Yang shook his head. "How about we discuss a partnership?"

The young woman looked at him curiously. "What kind of partnership?"

"I’ll provide your store with a free supply of our water. How does that sound? In exchange, you can recommend it to your customers. It’s safe for both people and pets to drink."
