  Zhang Zian concluded that the situation was not good for the Pomeranian because of its low blood sugar. The others felt amazed––they didn’t know that even dogs could have low blood sugar; it was their first time hearing of that.

  The grandmother, on the other hand, was not as surprised as the others. She just acknowledged the fact and asked, “Low blood sugar, then… Will it be fine if I just feed it some candy? Aiya, I don’t have any candy on me…”


  Chu Manhua took out a piece of chocolate candy from her pocket. “I have a candy on me. Since the last time I fainted, I always have candy on me.”


  “Not this candy. Dogs can’t eat chocolate, it’ll kill them!” Zhang Zian quickly and sternly informed her. “Don’t ever let your dog eat chocolate.”


  “Ah? Okay, then. I really didn’t know about this before…” Chu Manhua awkwardly put the candy back in her pocket. “Then… what about candies that don’t contain any chocolate?”


  “Not those, either. To be precise, they need something to replenish their sugar level; it’s purpose is not to simply eat candy,” Zhang Zian corrected. He then turned back to the grandmother and said, “You just need to prepare a bag of glucose at home––the medical kind––then add two drops of it into the water it drinks. It’ll be fine after that.”


  “So simple?” The grandmother couldn’t believe her ears. The Pomeranian had been unenergetic for a very long time, and it had been growing very slowly, too. Could those problems really be solved by such a simple method?

  Zhang Zian nodded and explained, “Low blood sugar is a common symptom among young Pomeranians, and it can lead to depression, weakness, loss of appetite, and an elevated body temperature. If the situation is severe, it may faint and convulse, or even die. People who are not aware of the situation could easily ignore the symptoms and only think that it’s being very obedient until it becomes too severe and nothing can be done.”


  “Aiyo, so it’s that serious…” the old grandmother said with fear. “Fortunately, I brought it here to consult with you. Otherwise, the problem would have continued to drag on…”


  “If your condition permits, you could also buy some nutrition cream for it to supplement nutrition, but it’s best to mix the nutrition cream into some rice or dog food. If you let it eat the nutrition cream alone, it might get picky with its food; it might refuse to touch other foods aside from the nutrition cream, and that would be very troublesome,” Zhang Zian added.

  “Nutrition cream…” The grandmother looked up at the shelves full of products. “How much is the nutrition cream? Do you have it here?”


  “We do.”


  Zhang Zian knew that her economic situation was not very good, so he took a few cheaper nutrition creams from the shelves and handed them to her. “These should do. It’s not necessary to feed it too well, otherwise it will start to get picky.”


  The old grandmother’s eyes were not as good as they used to be, and she left home without her glasses that day. No matter how she flipped the nutrition cream around, she was unable to clearly see the small words on the packaging. She was able to barely see the price tag, however. Suddenly, her face didn’t look too good and she said, “Ah… that… I will buy two first… or three.”


  Several people present wanted to lend her a helping hand without damaging her self-respect, but they couldn’t think of a good reason.

  Lu Yiyun suddenly said, “Grandma, hold on a moment!”


  She ran to the innermost shelf, took out several identical nutrition creams from the bottom, and handed them to the grandmother. She said, “These products are close to their expiration date. If you’re okay with them, you can use these. Anyway, you’ll definitely finish them before the expiration date, and since it’s a product that’s almost expired, we should be able to discount it… right?”


  At the end of her sentence, she looked at Zhang Zian and asked for his consent.

  Usually, it was Lu Yiyun’s responsibility to organizes the shelves. All the items purchased in the store that came with an expiration date was recorded by her, then they would be placed in the most conspicuous position in order to sell them as soon as possible; it was just like how it was done in the supermarket.

  If a product was really nearing its expiration date but it was still not sold, she would then reorganize it to the corner to prevent customers from buying it by mistake. As for how she was supposed to deal with such products… she had yet to discuss it with Zhang Zian, because most of the things in the store were selling very well and there were very few unsalable products.

  “Yi? There are products nearing their expiration date? Why was I not aware of them?” Wang Qian scratched his head.

  Zhang Zian thought to himself, Indeed, girls are more attentive to details. Zian himself had thought about doing that before, but because it was too cumbersome to implement and he was lazy, he did not push the plan forward. Little did he know that Lu Yiyun had silently put some effort into the plan.

  “Of course, products nearing their expiration date will be discounted.” Zian immediately nodded and confirmed. “They’ll be sold at half price and the closer it is to the expiration date, the higher the discount will be. I will leave you responsible for the specific details. Even if they’re sold at a discount, it’s better than throwing them away after their expiration date.”


  Lu Yiyun felt the weight on her shoulders, and together with the sense of responsibility, she also gained a sense of trust that made her satisfied and excited.

  Lu Yiyun calculated the pricing for the grandmother. A nutrient cream could last for five to seven days, and the ones she was purchasing would expire after one month, so there was a sufficient amount of time to finish them before their expiration date. Their price was also less than half of the normal price, so it was a good choice for both quality and price.

  The grandmother was very happy after listening to her and she asked, “So, how long must it take these? Forever?”


  “There’s no need for that. Pomeranians are often hypoglycemic when they’re young, but after they grow up, they’re basically fine. After a month’s worth of nutrition cream is finished, it should not have to eat any more of it. At that time, it will have most likely already recovered and will be in good health,” Zhang Zian said.

  “Great! Great! That’s great! There’s hope for Xiao Guaiguai!” The grandmother didn’t know how to express her feelings. She could only say that it was great, and her eyes were moist.

  She picked up the Pomeranian with her skinny hands that were shaking, stroked its hair with affection, and lightly rubbed her cheek on its back. Her joy could clearly be felt.

  With a happy ending, the other people present were also very happy for the grandmother. Although the Pomeranian would not be able to live a lavish life, at least it had met an owner that loved it.

  “Also, I would like to remind you: If someone wants to spend hundreds of dollars to buy your dog, don’t agree to it, and remember to lock your door when you go out.” Zhang Zian hinted for her to beware of her neighbor.

  The old grandmother was in a blur; she did not understand what he meant.

  “Your Pomeranian… It’s not a mixed breed, but a purebred Pomeranian,” Zhang Zian explained. “Its normal price is about four or five thousand dollars. The person who wants to buy it from you for a few hundred dollars is purely trying to take advantage of you.”


  “That can’t be right.” The young male customer questioned. “What about the brown shade under its eyes? And what about its brown nose?”


  Wang Qian snorted. He thought to himself, How dare you question Master with your low standards? Aren’t you just putting your face out to be slapped?

  In fact, Zhang Zian did not even need to look carefully to know that the Pomeranian was a purebred. It was not because he was confident in his own eyes, but because of his understanding of Love Lovely Pets Breeding Base.

  Regardless of how Love Lovely Pets treated their pets, they did have a good eye for pets. They would never raise a mixed breed Pomeranian, so he knew without even thinking that the Pomeranian had to be a purebred.
