Zhang Zian continued to talk nonstop about his great idea, which had impressed w.a.n.g Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yiyun. They couldn't believe that Zhang Zian had come up with it himself.

Indeed, as Zhang Zian said, the plan was a publicity gimmick and also inexpensive, which had been proved by the rampant women seeking advertis.e.m.e.nts on electricity poles. It was just that the method was slightly inappropriate.

While w.a.n.g Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yiyun were being brainwashed by Zhang Zian, a car slowly parked near the sidewalk.

It was Sun Xiaomeng. Zhang Zian motioned for w.a.n.g Qian and Li Kun to go outside with him.

"Why did you ask me to drop by your shop on my way to work?" Sun Xiaomeng asked in confusion, rolling down her car window.

Zhang Zian had planned to tell her his idea through WeChat yesterday, but then he figured it would be too much to explain over messages. It would be easier for her to understand if Zhang Zian told her in person. Ignoring the fact that he was going to use the colored small flyers to advertise, he only told Sun Xiaomeng that the cats in her clinic could be brought to Uncle Li's snack bar. If any customers adopted those cats, it would be a triple win situation.

w.a.n.g Qian and Li Kun, who were standing behind Zhang Zian, revealed secretive smiles. Sun Xiaomeng looked at them suspiciously and wondered if Zhang Zian was planning anything bad or unexpected.

However, Zhang Zian's plan was very convincing. Sun Xiaomeng considered it carefully and decided it was possible. Under the proper guidance, her clinic, Uncle Li's snack bar, and the customers in the snack bar, could create a moralistic cycle in which the homeless cats in her clinic would be able to find new owners. Although it could only help the cats who had been abandoned by their former owners, at least the deserted dogs wouldn't have be crowded in with the cats in the clinic anymore. Besides, cats accounted for most of the deserted pets in her clinic. Compared to cat owners, dog owners might usually develop deeper affections with their dogs, making them more reluctant to abandon them.

"So? What do you think?" asked Zhang Zian.

Sun Xiaomeng nodded. "Okay, let's try your idea out. Since I'm going back to my hometown for the Spring Festival, you can have sole discretion over the matter. We'll discuss more based on the results from the trial period."

After getting her approval, Zhang Zian let w.a.n.g Qian and Li Kun borrow a tricycle, and they headed over to the clinic to get the cats.

Before long, the two of them returned on tricycle and were loaded with seven cats.

Sun Xiaomeng also sent copies of the cats' medical records. They contained each one's name, gender, and age, among other information. The medical records were enough to prove that they had fully recovered from their illnesses and no longer had any health concerns.

Among the seven cats, there was a purebred Siamese cat, a purebred American Shorthair, two not-so-pure British Shorthairs, a white cat, a black cat, and a Calico cat. They were all adult cats over one year old. They were lined up in cages in the shop and the crowd carefully watched over them.

Zhang Zian asked w.a.n.g Qian and Li Kun not to return the tricycle just yet, because they still had to deliver the cats over to Uncle Li's restaurant later.

Zhang Zian a.s.signed tasks to Lu Yiyun. "Come on Yiyun, take some pictures of them, and then use Photoshop to make them look as beautiful as possible. The edited photos will be printed out on the front of the small flyers."

Even though she now knew Zhang Zian's intentions, Lu Yiyun still reluctantly pinched the two colored small cards. She felt sick as she looked at the two scantily dressed young women on the front sides of the two posters.

Strangely enough, Lu Yiyun didn't feel disgusted when she looked at the immodestly dressed girls in comics. In fact, she liked them a lot. However, she couldn't accept real people dressed that way. Maybe it was the strong s.e.xual innuendos from the text next to the pictures that made her feel sick, because she didn't feel this way when she saw girls in bikinis on the beach.

She picked up her cell phone and used the best angles to take a few pictures of the cats. She uploaded the pictures to the computer, opened Photoshop, and selected the appropriate size based on the two cards in her hands. This type of work was a piece of cake for her, and she finished working on it quickly.

"What should be written next to the pictures?" she asked.

Zhang Zian rubbed his chin for a while and decided to slightly change the wording on the two flyers. They became "British Shorthair Girl", "Mature American Shorthair", "Exotic Siamese", "Chinese-Style Hair-Stroking", "Thai-Style Chin-Rubbing" and others of the like. He told her that the text had be written in pink and flowy fonts, which would wind down along the curves of the cats' bodies.

"Oh right, make sure to put the pictures of the black cat and the white cat on it. Next to their photos, write 'Kept Kittens' and 'Having A Satisfying Threesome with the Black and the White,'" added Zhang Zian.

w.a.n.g Qian and Li Kun grew deeply concerned as their Master became more shameless.

"All right," Lu Yiyun bit the bullet and added the requested text, based on what he had told her. She showed him the sample picture through print preview. "How about now?"

Zhang Zian carefully looked at the sample picture and nodded in satisfaction. "You should also write the address and telephone number of the restaurant on the posters. Then, find someone on the internet who can put double-sided tape on them. You two are responsible for putting up the cards."

He pointed at w.a.n.g Qian and Li Kun to a.s.sign their tasks to them. "Stick the cards on the electricity poles at the nearby crossroads and other highly populated places. Right, you should also paste them on your campus, because students are the targeted audience. But you'd better do that at night, in case there are police officers prohibiting p.o.r.nography and illegal publications during the day."

"Master, if we were arrested, would you bail us out?" they asked with a grim face.

Zhang Zian stoutly denied them. "How would that ever happen? I would immediately cut ties with you both!"

w.a.n.g Qian and Li Kun felt like weeping but didn't let out a single tear.

Lu Yiyun went online and searched for a merchant that could produce small ads with double-sided adhesive tape. Then, she sent the sample picture to the merchant, asking him to create the flyers and then to mail them back to her as soon as possible.

The merchant, who was also deeply shocked by the unbelievably shameless sample flyer, repeatedly asked Lu Yiyun if this was a joke before taking her order.

"How many copies should I make?" asked Lu Yiyun. "The merchant's minimum requirement is 200 copies."

Zhang Zian waved his hand and generously said, "Make 2,000 copies! They're not expensive anyway."

2,000 copies!

w.a.n.g Qian and Li Kun wanted to cry but held back their emotions. How long would it take them to finish putting up so many copies of such tiny flyers?!

"Don't we need to talk it over with Uncle Li first?" Lu Yiyun asked worriedly.

"No need. As the saying goes, a mess is best cleaned up with a broom, and a severe disease is best cured with strong medicine. Without resorting to unusual means, how would we turn Uncle Li's failing restaurant into a profitable one?" Zhang Zian knew that Uncle Li's business must have been doing very poorly. That was why Uncle Li had swallowed his pride and asked Zhang Zian for help.

This was a clever method and it would certainly attract a lot of people into the restaurant. Even if only 1/10 of those people bought food from Uncle Li's restaurant, his business would still improve greatly.

w.a.n.g Qian and Li Kun rode the tricycle and dropped off the seven cats, along with some pet supplies and cat food, at Uncle Li's.

"Eeek!"

Zhang Zian looked back. Pi, who seemed rather excited, was peering its head out from the stairwell, vigorously waving at him.
