Chapter 10: The Convenience Store's Top Salesman

“Woof woof~ （I know, I know. Big Brother Cat. ）” The pug, beaten black and blue, nodded. This cat is too fierce, isn’t he? Two slaps like brooms.

Before he could recover, he was already sent flying by the cat, disoriented.

“Meow meow~ （Good to know. Next time, don’t stand so high and talk to me. It makes me very uncomfortable. ）” Li Li said and turned to leave.

He had to get away quickly while no one was around. Otherwise, if people saw him being aggressive, it would damage his easygoing cat image.

It would be difficult to trick people into giving him food then. After all, a ferocious cat would scare people away.

“Woo woo~”

Seeing Li Li leave, the pug, crying and tucking his tail, went to find his owner.

If he had known the cat was so fierce, he would have brought his owner along.

“Welcome!”

A crisp electronic voice rang out at the entrance of the convenience store, and then Li Li’s figure appeared in the cashier’s sight.

But Li Li didn’t come in. He just sat quietly at the door, blinking his pitiful eyes at the inside, occasionally lowering his head to show a “I’m so hungry” look.

“That tabby cat outside is so pitiful. Do we have any food that’s about to expire?” The cashier, who had been stared at for several minutes, said she couldn’t take it anymore.

“You want to feed that Big Fat Tabby Cat?” An older woman, hearing this, looked at the figure squatting at the door and said, “Don’t be fooled by him. This Big Fat Tabby Cat is a habitual offender. He often comes to the door to beg for food. If you don’t believe me, just wait a while. Someone will feed him soon. We don’t need to feed him at all.”

“You, just put away your sympathy. Don’t spend money recklessly when you don’t have enough yourself.”

This young girl had just arrived and didn’t know what this fat cat was like, but the older woman knew him very well.

When it came to begging for food, there were few cats in this area who were better at it than him.

This girl still wanted to help this fat cat? She should worry about herself first.

“Ah? Is that tabby cat like that?” The cashier asked in surprise.

“Otherwise, how do you think he got so fat?” The older woman laughed, looking at two fashionably dressed figures approaching Li Li, and said to the cashier, “Watch carefully. See how this fat cat tricks people into feeding him. His methods are very clever.” ṟ𝐀

“Tricks people into feeding him?” The cashier’s eyes widened as she saw the two beautiful women walk up to Li Li.

Li Li quickly launched into his practiced routine of rubbing against their legs and pretending to be injured.

The two women burst into laughter, stroking Li Li’s big belly.

Although they couldn’t hear what was being said at the door from inside the store, judging by the appearance of the two beauties, they had already fallen for Li Li’s tricks and would likely come in to buy him food.

“Yes, see? This Big Fat Tabby Cat is very skilled at begging for food. Next, these two beauties will come in and buy food for him.”

“So you don’t have to worry about him starving. As long as he stays at the door, there will be customers buying food for him.” The older woman explained, looking at the women getting up. She was ready to take their money.

“Mimi, wait here for a bit. We’ll go in and buy you some delicious food.”

“Yeah, Mimi, don’t run around. You won’t get any food if you do.” One of the women reminded Li Li as she opened the door and walked in.

“Meow meow~ （I won’t go anywhere. I’ll wait for you here. ）” Li Li replied, watching them go in with his paws tucked under him.

“What do you think Mimi likes to eat?”

“I don’t know. Let’s buy him some ham sausage or something. I think cats like to eat that kind of stuff.”

The two women wandered around in front of the shelves, looking at the snacks and discussing. Neither of them had ever raised a cat, so they weren’t sure what to feed him.

“Are you two planning to feed that Big Fat Tabby Cat at the door? I have some recommendations.” Just when they were at a loss for what to buy, the cashier came over.

“Oh? What do you recommend?” One of the women turned and asked.

“For a cat as fat as him, I don’t recommend food that’s high in oil and salt. We have instant chicken breast and chicken sausage here for fitness meals. I think it would be very suitable for him.” The cashier smiled and introduced.

“Is that so? Sounds reasonable.”

“Yes, let’s buy him that.” The two women thought about it and replied.

“How many pieces of chicken breast and chicken sausage do you want?” The cashier asked, standing in front of the refrigerated display case.

“How many pieces?” The two women thought for a moment, their eyes glancing at the big, fat head at the door that was looking at them pitifully. “Two pieces of chicken breast and two chicken sausages.”

“Okay. Anything else you need?” The cashier asked, taking the chicken breast and chicken sausage.

“Please give us a bottle of coconut water each.” One of the women said.

“Okay.” The cashier nodded and went to get the drinks.

“Auntie, is that Mimi at the door a stray cat or does he have an owner?”

“Yeah, he looks so pitiful.”

While the two women were waiting, they also inquired about Li Li.

How could such a chubby and cute Mimi be begging for food at the convenience store door? It was truly a heartbreaking sight.

“You two beauties, are you talking about that Big Fat Tabby Cat? I’m not sure if he’s a stray cat, but he’s been begging for food here for more than half a year.”

“Maybe he’s from a nearby residential complex, or maybe he’s raised by a student from the academy.” The older woman smiled and said.

Young people nowadays are really kind-hearted. They can’t stand to see cats and dogs wandering around.

“Is that so? Then, Auntie, next time please help us pay attention to see if he has an owner.”

“Yeah, if he’s a stray cat, we’ll take him home.”

The two women said, looking at the big, fat figure pawing at the glass door.

“Okay, I’ll help you pay attention when I have time. The total is forty yuan and sixty cents. Will you be paying by scanning the code or cash?”

“Scanning the code.” The woman with glasses said, and the other woman went out with the chicken breast and chicken sausage:

“Mimi, sorry to keep you waiting. Are you hungry?”

“Meow meow~ （It’s okay. I’m almost starving to death, but if you brought food? I can hold on for a while longer. ）” Li Li replied, his eyes fixed on the chicken breast and chicken sausage in her hand.
