The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?
Chapter 42 Counterattack
Qing Ling picked up the leopard cat and, without caring about its resistance, turned around and walked away with a sullen face.
Qin Jiu was not angry at her rude behavior, he just found it funny. He didn't know how he could have become her imaginary enemy.
Maybe it was because from the moment she entered school, she was not a student in their top major, so they thought she was an outlier?
Or is it because she has no family background, so she seems easy to control?
But no matter what the reason was, Qin Jiu didn't care. She was just an insignificant passer-by in Qin Jiu's life.
This little thing was just a small episode in Qin Jiu's happy life and did not affect her good mood of making a lot of money today.
However, when Qin Jiu returned to the box, Lightning became alert and circled around her several times.
Yes! She smells like another animal!
Lightning was furious. How could this man cheat outside just after leaving his sight for a few minutes?
It was heartbroken and grief-stricken, after all it was a wrong payment!
Qin Jiu saw that Lightning looked as if the sky was falling, and he was unhappy. He began to recall what happened today.
Is it so stimulating to let it wear a princess dress?
Qin Jiu couldn't help but reflect on whether he had gone a little too far.
The one man and the other leopard have completely different ideas and have nothing in common.
Early the next morning, before daybreak, a line had already formed in front of their stall.
Their stall hadn't even been set up yet, but they couldn't help but be surprised by the line.
Xia Xiaolan went up to them and asked them why they came so early. According to their idea, as long as they came early, they would have the right to enjoy the service in advance before the people with the previous numbers arrived.
Well, that's not wrong...
But aren't you guys using this card to fix the bug?
Qin Jiu looked at the long line and wondered what time they started queuing.
Could it be that he stayed out all night with the war beast and sat on a small stool in the wind, looking disheveled?
Qin Jiu imagined the scene.
So sad, so crazy.
However, their enthusiasm also reminded Qin Jiu and others that today would probably be a day of working until exhaustion.
Qin Jiu took the war beast from her master according to the normal procedure, but the leopard cat in front of her made her feel extremely familiar.
She raised her eyes to look at the leopard cat's owner, who was a completely unfamiliar face.
Qin Jiu did not take the leopard cat to the wash area. With a smile on her face that did not reach her eyes, she asked, "What's its name?"
The leopard cat's owner pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers, her eyes were vague and she didn't dare to look Qin Jiu in the eye. She hesitated for a long time before she uttered two words: "Huahua."
Qin Jiu put the leopard cat down and said something shocking to Xia Xiaolan in her confused eyes: "I think its situation is more complicated. We want to charge 6,000 star coins. Are you willing?"
She used a questioning tone, but no one felt that she was negotiating with the leopard cat's owner.
Instead, there was an irresistible meaning in the gentle tone.
Everyone can hear the hidden meaning: If you want to wash it, wash it. If you don’t want to wash it, forget it.
The owner of the leopard cat obviously didn't expect this situation to happen. Her breathing became noticeably rapid, and she stammered, "Why, why, you, you are just asking for the price."
Qin Jiu shrugged. She was too lazy to even pretend. She waved her hand, her smile gentle but with a hint of thorns: "Yes, I am just raising the price now."
Although Xia Xiaolan was the stall owner and should have stopped Qin Jiu from destroying her reputation, she was also Qin Jiu's good classmate, roommate, and sister, so she was definitely on Qin Jiu's side.
Qin Jiu must have her reasons for doing this, and Xia Xiaolan did not interfere with Qin Jiu's actions throughout the process.
After all, if it weren’t for Qin Jiu’s special ability to attract war beasts, they would not have been able to grow bigger and stronger.
In this small piece of land and this simple stall, Xia Xiaolan is the boss in theory, but the real person in charge is actually Qin Jiu.
The owner of the leopard cat didn't expect Qin Jiu to be so blunt and target her so openly that she was speechless for a moment.
The other people queuing behind saw that there seemed to be a dispute in the front and the whispering sound gradually increased.
Some of the owners who were in the front row repeated Qin Jiu's words. Some people thought that Qin Jiu was shameless. They were all students, but he was raising the price. Some people thought that caring for war beasts was a time-consuming and exhausting job. The service provided by Qin Jiu and his staff was much better than that provided by other institutions that needed anesthesia to care for war beasts. So it was reasonable for the price to increase.
The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and the student union members who were on patrol came over.
"We have received reports that some people are raising prices and deceiving consumers. Is there such a thing?"
Qin Jiu put away his thorny gaze and turned to the student union team.
It's that familiar voice again...
The moment the students appeared, the leopard cat ran towards their leader with cheerful steps, completely ignoring the man's face which was so dark that ink could be twisted out, and was friendly and happy.
Qing Ling glared at the girl who was standing in front of the stall as punishment, and cursed her in her heart, calling her useless.
Her face didn't look good.
Qin Jiu put on a false smile and said in a gentle voice, "No, we do charge a service fee of 3,000 star coins for a small war beast, but the prerequisite is that its owner brings it here in person. After all, if something goes wrong with the war beast when it is sent for cleaning, the risk we need to bear is extremely high."
The darker Qing Ling's face became, the more Qin Jiu's smile deepened.
She lowered her head and called out to the war beast named Huahua, "Your master didn't bring you here in person. She must be very busy. Right, Jasmine."
From the moment Qin Jiu called out Jasmine, the leopard cat's "owner" dodged Xia Xiaolan's surprised gaze, feeling very uncomfortable.
She wanted to escape so much, but she couldn't.
If Qing Ling hadn't put pressure on her by using this semester's class grades to ask for her help, she would never have done this for Qing Ling.
She had worked hard for a whole semester to get a scholarship, and she would be devastated if she failed to be selected for the scholarship because of the class grading of a student union vice president.
In the end, she could only succumb to Qing Ling's tyranny and bring Jasmine to Qing Ling.
Jasmine is not her war beast, but fortunately her IQ is not high and she can still control it. Otherwise, she would not dare to take someone else's war beast out even if she had ten times the courage.
But she didn't understand why Qing Ling didn't bring Jasmine herself.
At this moment, caught in the silent game between the two, she seemed to know why Qing Ling asked her to do it for her.
It looks like there is some friction between Qing Ling and Qin Jiu...
Jasmine tilted her head when she heard Qin Jiu calling its name, not being able to feel the sparks flying between them and the invisible smell of gunpowder. It walked briskly to Qin Jiu's side and rubbed against her feet, just as intimately as when she met it yesterday.
Xia Xiaolan's eyes wandered between the three people, and finally landed on Qin Jiu and Qing Ling's faces. She pondered for a moment, and said to the girl who was still trembling, "I'm sorry, we don't accept war beasts from anyone other than the owner for care. If it's not your war beast, then we will reject the order, unless you can show proof that it is your war beast."
The girl glanced at Qing Ling's cold eyes. She trembled all over and shouted in a state of collapse: "It's my war beast! It's my war beast! Its name is Hua Hua! Not Jasmine!"
Her voice was loud, attracting curious glances from passersby.
Some people noticed the leopard cat walking around at Qin Jiu's feet and couldn't help but discuss: "Isn't that the war beast of Qing Ling, the vice president of the fourth-grade student union? How did it become hers? Who is she?"
"I don't know, it must be Jasmine. There is a black circle at the tip of Jasmine's tail, which is the mark of a rare high-grade leopard civet cat. Qing Ling chose Jasmine and showed off for a long time."
"So when did Qing Ling abandon her war beast? Isn't it illegal to abandon a war beast?"
"That shouldn't be the case. After all, he is her most beloved one."
“That’s weird.”
The sound of passersby's discussion was neither too loud nor too quiet, and it just fell into the ears of the people at the center of the storm.
The girl’s first reaction was: It’s over! She’s completely finished!
Qing Ling was not angry at all because of being found out. Instead, she said calmly, "Yes, it's Jasmine, my war beast. But so what? You're running a business, and I'm too busy to have time. Is there any problem with my friend sending it to me?"
Qin Jiu chuckled and replied, "Of course there is no problem. As I just said, we have to take certain risks in exchange for sending the clothes for cleaning, so the price for Jasmine is 6,000 star coins. Can you accept that?"
Six thousand star coins were obviously too high for a kind-hearted war beast. She could give it, but she felt it was not worth it.
Moreover, Qin Jiuming raised the price obviously to target her. Even if she agreed, she would not be happy to pay the money.
She was still weighing the pros and cons in her mind when Xia Xiaolan spoke up: "I'm sorry, I'm the person in charge. Just like I said just now, we don't accept war beasts that are not brought by their owners. Even if Qin Jiu agrees to you, we will refuse to accept them."
Qin Jiu smiled secretly in her heart. Her boss was really great! Or was Xia Xiaolan aware of her true thoughts?
Qin Jiu followed Xia Xiaolan's words, pretending to be very sorry, sighed, and said, "Alas, the boss said he doesn't agree, and I have no choice."
Raising the price is just a way to disgust Qing Ling. The result is the same, Qin Jiu will not provide any service to her Jasmine.
Qin Jiu is not a good person. Facing Qing Ling's repeated targeting, Qin Jiu did not turn hostile on the spot, which does not mean that Qin Jiu is easy to bully.
She was more like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, silently looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to her prey.
Seeing Qin Jiu and Xia Xiaolan singing the same tune, Qing Ling realized that she had been fooled. The other party was playing tricks on her, and was embarrassing her in front of so many people.
Qing Ling couldn't even maintain a false smile. She frowned and hugged Jasmine, "If you don't want to accept it, then don't accept it. You are not the only one who can do this."
After she finished speaking, she fled away.
The girl also quietly left when no one was paying attention to her.
Everything is back to normal.
The students on patrol looked at each other in bewilderment. What else didn’t they understand?
They were clearly patrolling along the designated route, but suddenly Qing Ling said that someone had reported that a stall was raising prices. She hadn't even looked at the terminal at the time, so how could she know there was a complaint?
I guess she left a eavesdropping system on the girl early in the morning and has been keeping an eye on what's going on here.
And they are just pawns being used.
A boy in the patrol team stepped forward and bowed to Qin Jiu.
Qin Jiu recognized him. He was the senior brother who left the first meeting with a stack of Jin Cheng's autographed photos.
The boy rolled his glasses and said, "We didn't investigate this matter clearly. We are sorry to have caused you trouble."
All the thorns on Qin Jiu's body were retracted, and he returned to his friendly appearance, "No, no, thank you for making an extra trip, brothers."
The well-mannered boy looked at her deeply, then left with the student union members to continue patrolling.
Qin Jiu took the war beast of the next customer. Xia Xiaolan looked at the direction where Qing Ling left with worry. She lowered her voice and said to Qin Jiu, "Are you afraid that she will retaliate against you?"
Qin Jiu stopped and looked in the direction where Qing Ling left, but her gaze did not follow Qing Ling's back. Instead, her gaze moved a little and fell on a girl with glasses who was standing next to a stall and was also looking at Qing Ling's back.
Why she appeared there and when she appeared there was not important to Qin Jiu.
But the fact that she was able to arrive at the scene and observe before Qing Ling launched the attack showed that she already knew something.
She is indeed not as simple as imagined.
Qin Jiu retracted her gaze and pinched the little wolf's nose to tease it. Her tone was relaxed and she didn't look worried at all.
"Don't worry about her. The grasshoppers won't be able to jump for a few days after autumn." Dailu's face flashed through her mind, and she smiled: "Naturally, someone will help me."
