Programme team

The news that a crew was coming over to film the material caught the attention of everyone and the cats at the cat cafe that night.

The human staff exclaimed, “So our cat cafe is already this good?!”

“Am I going to be able to be on TV? Mum I’m going to be on TV!”

“Are we going to break out of Yu Chuan and go all over China?”

The cats got together and Copper Coin delivered a rousing self-recognition in a series of meows. “It must be my handsome and charming figure that has captivated the humans, they come over specifically to take pictures with me, I just scratch the board and make them swoon. Me! Copper Coin! About to go to the top of the cat life! Maybe before long I’ll marry a beautiful cat and become the big winner among all cats.”

Sponge Cake licked his fur and was very dignified. “Meow meow.” You still have to be down-to-earth when you are a cat, and opening a cat cafe is also about moving forward step by step, one bite won’t make you a shop manager.

Egg Yolk, “…”

Fondant didn’t quite understand and plopped down next to Yun Chao. “Mi?” What was Brother Copper Coin talking about?

Yun Chao coldly, “Meow.” Daydreaming.

Copper Coin, “…”

Egg Yolk tended to the two tortoiseshells, combing their fur in his free time and helplessly said, “Wake up Copper Coin, you’re not a cat.”

Copper Coin, “…”

Oh yes, he almost forgot, he’s a Zhu Qian.

Pei Shiyi listened to them with a smile for a while before he clapped his hands. “Everyone, quiet down.”

Both people and cats were silent, waiting for Pei Shiyi to say something.

Pei Shiyi slowly said, “The amount of viewers of this show isn’t low, but we do not need to be too nervous. Our usual performance is fine. Alright, I won’t take up everyone’s personal time, work’s over.”

In the end, they were an interior designing program and their starting point would definitely be the interior designs. The person who was actually involved in the interview would be the designer Kong Fanyang, even Pei Shiyi won’t show his face much.

Even if you want to eat advertising money, you can’t look too bad, right?

Zhang Yu smiled and said, “You’re too calm too, boss.”

Pei Shiyi leaned down to scoop up Yun Chao who was the nearest to him, the snow-white fluffy doughnut lying lazily in his arms, yawning with her mouth slightly open, allowing Pei Shiyi to hold her front paws and wave them.

In the entire Cat Café, apart from Bao Jin, this big boss was the only one who dared to hug Yun Chao whenever and wherever he wanted.

“Who can not love my beauties?”

He was like a young emperor sitting in a harem, with a tone of affection and a deep voice that made one’s bones tingle at the very sound.

The paralyzed “beauties” were posed on the floor in a dignified manner.

The staff laughed and said, “You as well, boss.”

Zhang Yu boldly said, “Boss, if you are willing to take Mr Bao to debut together, you will be popular all over the country in a minute. Then there will be no need to find any program to promote, the fans can make our cat cafe popular! Then we’ll be a veritable internet celebrity shop!”

Pei Shiyi never forgot to tease Bao Jin at all times. “What about Mr Bao, are you interested in changing careers? If you become popular, don’t forget about us.”

Bao Jin was sitting right next to Pei Shiyi. Boss Pei was standing and he was sitting, the angle was just right to see Pei Shiyi’s hand squeezing Yun Chao’s paw pad.

The lion cat’s paw pads were pink and tender and the sharp tips of her claws popped out when gently pressed by Pei Shiyi.

Pei Shiyi’s neatly manicured nails were slightly white, didn’t look too rosy, almost sickly pale and his wrist bones were skinny and fragile, almost as if they would break.

So Bao Jin took back the sarcasm that was on his lips without a word, lowered his eyes and got lazy again, raised his hand to tease the cat and didn’t say a word.

Bao Jin was suddenly quiet, Pei Shiyi also had no intention of grabbing the other party to have a fight with himself, so he got up to send the staff away.

……

Friday

The whole atmosphere in the cat cafe was different from usual. Even Yun Chao, who usually likes to lie on the climbing frame and look down on the crowd, kept hanging out below today.

The regular customer smiled and said as they eyed Yun Chao’s fluffy tail, “What’s going on today? It feels like everyone is very nervous.”

Even if the staff were, the cats were not in the right state either- The cats, who were not very serious creatures, roamed the cafe with great seriousness and did not resist the “harassment” of the customers. Even the ever-dedicated Sponge Cake and Egg Yolk were frighteningly proactive. Not to mention the clingy Fondant, and the crazy Copper Coin.

With a teasing stick in his mouth, the round-faced Sponge Cake found a random, good-looking customer and let go of the stick, signalling that the customer could play with him now.

Shop manager Egg Yolk was busy, rushing the bar for dessert for a while and welcoming new customers in to find a seat. After running around the entire time without stopping, the flesh on his stomach was thrown away. At this intensity of exercise, he might be able to become a slim Egg Yolk in a few days.

Pei Shiyi laughed. “The cat cafe has a filming task today, so maybe the cats are in tune with me and are nervous for me.”

The regular customer had a surprised face. “What kind of filming task?”

Pei Shiyi said, “It’s a recording for the ‘Small World’ program, filming starts at 2pm today. The cat cafe’s official Weibo account has details, you can follow it if you’re interested.”

The regular customer came to cat cafe once a week to relax. For him, coming to the cat cafe had become as much a part of his daily life as going to the supermarket, so he was quite interested in the development of the cat cafe. As soon as he heard Pei Shiyi talk about this, he hurriedly opened their phone app and browsed through the latest Weibo posts of the cat cafe.

In fact, the cat café had a “Cat Guide” board at the entrance which indicated that the media will be filming today, but regular customers tended to ignore the board, so of course he didn’t see it.

“This is too ……”

The regular customer was surprised. “Congratulations boss, when will the second floor of our Xian Chan open? Isn’t it time for some new cuties too?”

In fact, there were still too few cats for the customers, and with such a large space on the ground floor, there should be at least eight or more cats to be considered appropriate, but the right cats could not be found for a while, and Pei Shiyi could not do anything about it.

Pei Shiyi put up a finger against his lips, but his eyes were all smiles. “Keep your voice down, careful, they might hear and get jealous.”

The regular customer laughed out loud. “Yes, yes, you should keep it down. Second children are easily rejected by the original ones, I know that, and I wish the boss a good day and a new cat soon.”

As they exchanged pleasantries, Pei Shiyi’s mobile phone vibrated a few times and he took it out to see that it was a call from Kong Fanyang.

Pei Shiyi apologised, “They’re almost here, I’m going to take a call.”

The regular customer nodded hastily. “Yes, go do your thing.”

Pei Shiyi picked up the phone and was already walking towards the entrance of the cat cafe.

Kong Fanyang’s voice came out of the phone. “Boss, we’ve arrived at Shi Liu Street, are you ready?”

Pei Shiyi had already seen them through the window. “It’s been clensed up in advance, it’s all clean, the furnishings haven’t moved, and it’s guaranteed to be similar to the picture you gave in.”

Kong Fan Yang repeatedly said, “I’ve troubled you, we’re here.”

He hung up the phone and turned sideways to face a professional woman in an OL suit, “Director Ni, we’re here, this is Xian Chan Cat Cafe.”

The temperature had recently soared to thirty-two degrees and there were not many high-rise buildings along Shi Liu Street. Fortunately, the street itself was not too wide. Despite this, Ni Jiaxue was still covered in a thin layer of sweat, she was still wearing her high heels as she struggled to walk along the brick-paved road.

Shi Liu Street was the oldest street in Yu Chuan city, the bricks on the road were always a few hundred years old and not friendly to high heels. The road was so narrow that the team’s car couldn’t get in, so they had to walk through Shi Liu Street.

The road was not easy to walk on and it was surprisingly hot this year in Yu Chuan, so the cameraman carrying the camera was sweating profusely.

After seeing the cat cafe’s store front, the programme crew were vaguely relieved.

Just as Kong Fanyang was about to step forward to open the door, a crisp bell rang out and the glass door of the cat cafe was gently pushed open. A tall, thin figure stood by the door, looking at them with a smile.

It’s Boss Pei!

When Kong Fanyang suddenly saw him after a few days, he couldn’t help but look at Pei Shiyi a few more times, and sighed in his heart: What else do you need to advertise? If you shove Mr Pei at the door, he will be a living signboard, and money will be saved on publicity.

Kong Fanyang said, “Director Ni, this is Boss Pei, Pei Shiyi.”

Ni Jiaxue’s eyes lit up- this was the owner of the Cat Cafe?! Although Kong Fanyang had told her in advance that the owner of the cat cafe was good-looking, she didn’t expect him to look this good!

In the blink of an eye, Ni Jiaxue already had several headlines in her head, such as “Visiting a cat cafe and meeting the handsome owner”, “Young guy starts a cat cafe”, etc. When the time comes, she will hang Pei Shiyi’s high-definition frontal picture on the cover, which will have a full eye-catching effect.

“Welcome, come on in.”

Pei Shiyi’s gaze swept over Ni Jiaxue’s thin heels, the other party had obviously no patience for pleasantries after walking in the sun for so long, so he moved slightly aside and invited them in.

Ni Jiaxue couldn’t be bothered to be polite, her high heels had made her so tired that she could barely keep up appearances of modesty and neatness, and now she couldn’t wait to get into the cooler interior.

The door of the cat cafe was exquisitely made but not expansive, the few people could only file in behind Pei Shiyi.

When one of the men carrying the cameraman walked past Pei Shiyi, Pei Shiyi suddenly raised his eyebrows and gave him an extra look.

The cameraman was unsure and just nodded politely.

Pei Shiyi rubbed the red marks on his fingers. The cameraman who passed by him had a faint demon aura, and with Pei Shiyi’s cultivation level, he could not actually see the other party’s original form. The demon aura was extremely mixed and seemed to come from different demons, while the cameraman himself still retained his human aura.

He didn’t know where this demon monster thing come from and wrapped in a messy smell. He wondered if he will scare the fur kids.

Pei Shiyi frowned and followed the camera crew inside.

Ni Jiaxue had not yet taken a closer look at the interior of the cat cafe when she was first drawn to the man at the bar. The other man, who was of impressive stature, had an almost cold brow and extremely deep features, and even though he was confronted by a long gun of filming equipment, he only swept his eyes over, then withdrew them with no interest and walked towards the owner of the cat cafe behind her.

He and the young cat cafe owner were standing together. They were almost of the same stature and had the same level of handsomeness. Even their auras were on the same level, but their personalities were the opposite of each other, one cold and one hot, they were pleasing to the eye. Ni Jiaxue didn’t know who to look at for a while.

Why couldn’t she have more eyes! Just as you want to look, you can’t!
