After going out with Mr. Fang, Zheng Tan also learned something.
The heads of several small pet hospitals in Chuhua City negotiated privately to set up a cat-loving association. In fact, they have been negotiating for a long time, and have not yet decided. A cat abuse incident and the reaction of the public and the media in society.
If they want to set up this association, they will inevitably have to deal with people from the Environmental Protection Association, the Bird Protection Association, etc. After all, the contradiction between cats and birds has become deeper and deeper. Several cat-loving organizations in the folk quarreled. In terms of environmental protection, some plant protection organizations often complain that many stray cats are destroying plants and ecology everywhere. Because of this, when considering the name of the association, several organizers screened it, and finally decided to take scientific breeding, green civilization, etc. as the theme of this event. The name of the association is green wing, abbreviated as GW, icon. It is a green wing with a cat palm in the middle.
No matter what the organizers of Green Wing thought, at least Zheng Tan didn't feel that it had anything to do with cats when he first heard the name.
Among the organizers of this upcoming event, Xiao Guo and his pet center are the most influential among them. In the past two years, more and more people know the name of the "Clearly So" pet center. As one of the organizers, Xiao Guo, As the vice president of Green Wing, he is too busy to eat all day. Promotional videos, public service advertisements, and sending notices, although he is not doing it alone, he does everything he can.
Xiao Guo knew that Mr. Fang and the Jiao family knew each other, and Mr. Zheng Tan and Mr. Fang were familiar with each other. Therefore, in this event, Xiao Guo focused on the big fish of Mr. Fang. If Mr. Fang could contribute, then Mr. Guo, the deputy The chairman's right to speak will definitely be greatly improved. After all, Green Wing has only been established. There are several vice-chairmen, and their powers are temporary. Take advantage of this event to show your ability to take a seat.
So, Xiao Guo went to visit Mr. Fang in person. Seeing Zheng Tan's face, Mr. Fang didn't play a big role. He simply accepted Xiao Guo's invitation letter and promised to donate a sum of money. The specific situation Xiao Guo can talk to one of Fang Sanye's assistants in detail.
And after Mr. Fang talked about the business with Lao Liu, he mentioned this activity. When Lao Liu heard it, he thought that the reason why his son became more lively and cheerful now was because of the cat. , Small things are money to buy peace of mind.
Of course, Mr. Fang probably didn't have time to go to the event in person, and the following people went instead. However, for Xiao Guo, as long as he is willing to take the money, it is already the biggest success.
Fang Sanye, Lao Liu, and Xiao Guo are all very busy people, but Zheng Tan's side, in general, hasn't changed much. Life is still quite comfortable, not too boring, every few days. If you have something to do, it is still a matter of making money. Think about it, which cat can do this and still make money to support the family.
Jiao's dad is on the other side of the ocean, and uses chat software to chat with him every week to understand what's going on at home. However, when Papa Jiao is not there, the pet center sometimes talks about some things that are not very good. It is Jiao's mother who makes up her mind, but Jiao's mother doesn't have much time. Xiao Guo occasionally has some cat food advertisements that are not easy to solve. I will send an email to Jiao Dad about the problem. Some time ago, because of the filming of a public service advertisement, I passed the email, and it was all Jiao Dad who made the decision.
In fact, Zheng Tan is relatively well-known in a certain small circle, but at the request of Dad Jiao, a lot of information about Zheng Tan is kept secret and very low-key. And this time, Zheng Tan didn't have many roles in the public service advertisement, because his appearance did not meet the requirements.
Compared with other cats, black cats are always mysterious, evil and domineering. Zheng Tan really doesn't show much pity. Therefore, in order to achieve the expected effect, Xiao Guo and the others chose It is a few cubs with an advantage in appearance, which are the most likely to arouse people's sympathy, especially females.
Zheng Tan felt that it didn't matter. Anyway, he didn't want to pretend to be pitiful. However, as a cat with fans, Zheng Tan must have attended that event. It would be enough to wait for Xiao Guo's arrangement. Tan is connected with the cat in the family compound of Chuhua University.
Because Zheng Tan attended this kind of event for the first time, Jiao Ma couldn't do anything else, so she worked hard on the food. Jiao's mother has an invitation letter from Xiao Guo, and she will take the two children there to take a look, even the camera is ready.
Many customers of the "Obviously so" pet center have notified this matter. If they decide to go, they will be given an admission ticket by the pet center. Recently, the pet center has also put up some billboards about this event and sent out some tickets. .
Ermao became a member because of spending a few days ago at the pet center, and the member was notified by a special person.
"Sounds interesting, okay, keep the ticket for me, I'll go get it tomorrow."
Er Mao, who hung up the phone, held a slender plastic rod and shook it. The front end of the plastic rod was tied with a rope, and the other end of the rope was tied with a stuffed toy. Er Mao leaned on the bed and held the rod to tease the cat. Jumping left and right with the cat, and running from bed to bed.
"Daughter, dad will take you to the cat meeting."
The cat, who couldn't understand Ermao's words, grabbed the plush toy, bit and pulled it, and the tail of the plush toy was bitten off.
The event held by Green Wing is six or seven stops away from Chuhua University, and public service billboards have been set up at seven bus stops on the way from Xiao Guo's pet center to the event site. donations from other parties, and even some advertising companies have deducted a large part of the amount.
Zheng Tan was taken behind the scenes by Xiao Guo early, and he was with a few of Xiao Guo who often shoot advertisements, waiting to be placed in the exhibition area. Those few looked calm, but Zheng Tan couldn't calm down.
Because, several cats, including Zheng Tan, have a small prop on them—the little green wings that are similar to the logo of the Green Wing Association, to represent the image of such a pet center. Zheng Tan only felt like a bunch of idiots with such wings. However, those few were probably used to being "tossed" by Xiao Guo, and they didn't have much interest in the little wings on their backs.
Zheng Tan endured not to tear off the green wing on his back. In the morning, Xiao Guo also said that he wanted to give the pet center an ambassador. Zheng Tan had no interest at all. Tossing and annoying, he only hopes that today's activities can end sooner.
In the exhibition area, the cats in the pet center just need to lie down on the big cat climbing frame with the association's name and the pet center's name on it. As soon as Zheng Tan was taken out, he focused on the cat holder on the top of the cat climbing frame. Ban, originally the representative cat of the pet center, the American short cat "Prince", was brought there first. I have to say that people's appearance has an advantage and looks so strong.
But Zheng Tan didn't care. After "Prince" jumped on the cat pallet he liked, Zheng Tan also jumped on it before it could pose.
This cat climbing frame is custom-made, large-scale style, and each cat tray can accommodate at least three cats lying on it at the same time, so Zheng Tan jumping on it is not too crowded.
After seeing Zheng Tan, "Prince" moved to the side, but Zheng Tan didn't make a sound or move his paws. He just looked at it like this. After a few seconds, "Prince" pressed his ear and consciously turned towards a cat holder below. Board jump over. Then, Zheng Tan was alone in the cat climbing frame occupying the highest position, lying on it with a stinky face. He was not in a good mood now, and he didn't wink at anyone. However, such a gesture made people passing the cat climbing frame have an idea at the same time: the cat's aura is really strong.
"Hey, buddy, what's the origin of that black cat?" It was an employee of another pet hospital who was asking the question. They often had contact with cats, and they could see the guy in the lead from the way these cats got along. Originally they thought it was the beautiful short cat, but now it seems that it is not like that. That beautiful short guy just looked a bit domineering, and the black cat jumped on it and saw it immediately.
The employee of the pet center, who was clearly displaying something, was surprised: "You don't even know it? BC!"
"BC?" The man wondered.
The staff of the pet center didn't say much, and pointed to one of the billboards on the side, which was a cat food advertisement composed of a story image that Zheng Tan recently photographed.
"I'm going! It's this guy!"
At the main venue, after several organizers and guests delivered speeches, a series of publicity activities began.
This time, the main purpose is to promote the TNR program to the public, so that residents who are not familiar with this aspect have the opportunity to receive relevant education. The so-called TNR is Trap (capture) → Neuter (sterilization) → Release (release), referred to as TNR, to replace the management of euthanasia and reduce the number of stray cats and dogs, and use scientific methods to continuously control the breeding of stray cats and dogs, This is also in line with the prevailing humanitarian spirit.
Although the TNR plan is not perfect, and the people in the association can do limited things, this method is also very controversial. After all, cats after TNR may continue to disturb people, catch birds, and some stray cats and dogs attack people and livestock. . It can only be said that this event tries to make the public have a correct concept of animal feeding, but if it must be abandoned, please abandon it in the TNR area stipulated by the association.
Some well-known enterprises represented by Shaoguang Group also donated a sum of money to build a rescue station for stray cats and dogs. This activity also received support from the government, and the media were also active. If it wasn't for what happened a while ago, it wouldn't necessarily have such an effect.
There are many people here who bring cats to the event. These pet cats are familiar with people. Most of the cats that can be brought are not very afraid of people, and they have their owners by their side. They are quite calm, but they are annoyed by a few reporters. Just shrink into the owner's arms, and don't stretch their claws like some cats with a little temper. After all, in this case, a more docile cat is better, and the bad-tempered cat is not allowed. It is precisely because of this that the event has been so smooth.
"Look, Dad, it's BC!"
Liu Yao took Lao Liu and ran to the exhibition area of the "Mingming So" Pet Center. Because he was explained by Lao Liu before he came, Xiao Liu Yao did not call Zheng Tan's cat name in front of many people in the venue, but called Zheng Tan's cat name. A well-known stage name in the circle of "BC" came out.
Old Liu is very low-key today, and looks very ordinary in his clothes. Just like Mr. Fang, all the assistants who donated money in the name of the company spoke on his behalf. Old Liu happily took his son to the exhibition area. The boss actually came.
