Astral Pet Store novel - Chapter 259

Chapter 259 Closing for the Day Without a Word

“Maximum capacity?”

The youth was stunned.

The people lining up behind were surprised to hear Su Ping’s words.

There were so many people in the queue, and it was still early. It was only nine plus, but maximum capacity was claimed, and the store was no longer accepting pets?

A pet store owner would close the door and refuse customers?!

“I’m sorry. Please go back.” Su Ping bowed slightly to express his apology. After all, he had let them queue up for nothing.

Seeing Su Ping’s attitude, some of the people who were angry didn’t know what to say. If it were any other store, they would have yelled. But here… the threat of the Inferno Dragon was too great.

This was not an ordinary store. If they angered this store owner later on and was bitten by that Inferno Dragon, they would be dead.

Furthermore, this was the slums, not a stable Uptown. If something really happened, who would be responsible?

“Never mind. Let’s go.”

“Boss, what time are you opening tomorrow?”

“How many can you accommodate every day? I’ll come earlier next time.”

Some left while others asked Su Ping about the store’s opening hours tomorrow.

Su Ping was stunned by the question. He really didn’t know the precise opening time. Or rather, it depended on what time he woke up.

As for when he would wake up… He didn’t know for sure. After all, he had to work overtime to train pets at night. That way, he would be able to make room for new pets when he returned the pets he had trained the next day.

“The store’s opening hours… In the morning, around 10 o’clock,” Su Ping estimated and said uncertainly.

Some people were speechless when they heard Su Ping’s uncertain tone. If it weren’t for the dragon at the door, they would have thought that the store was unreliable.

“Tang Ruyan, send the guests out.”

Su Ping told Tang Ruyan.

Tang Ruyan looked at Su Ping as if she was looking at a fool. Wasn’t he the one clamoring to open the store to earn money? Now, he was resting when it was only nine. Are you kidding me? Until now, she had not met anyone who recognized her. She had worked for Su Ping all day for nothing.

She imagined that she would be able to meet someone who had a sharp eye if she lasted a little longer. However, Su Ping said that they were closing for the day.

You’re resting so early at such a young age. Are you weak in the kidneys!?

She was furious, but she didn’t dare to flare up. She secretly sulked and sent the customers away one by one. She didn’t like these ignorant fellows at all.

When they were about to leave, a few of them even asked for Tang Ruyan’s contact details, but she rolled her eyes at them.

You don’t even recognize me, and you still want my contact number?!

Scram!

“Brother, isn’t this shop quite big? Why is it full again?”

Su Lingyue moved closer and looked at Su Ping in confusion.

“You don’t understand. Go back and rest.” “You…”

Su Lingyue, who wanted to argue, was dragged away by Wu Guansheng. It was rare that Su Ping closed the store early. This made Wu Guansheng very happy. He didn’t care if Su Ping earned money or not. Anyway, Su Ping had given him the task of teaching Su Lingyue.

As long as he completed the mission, he would be able to leave.

If the store was closed early, he would have more time to teach Su Lingyue so that he didn’t need to waste his time in this store.

When all the customers in the store left, Su Ping arrived outside the store. He was shocked by what he saw. The previously quiet and empty street was now crowded with people.

In the distance, many people were taking photos with their phones.

Su Ping could see that there were some cameras among them with his exceptional eyesight. They were reporters.

What a huge effect… Su Ping didn’t expect that the advertisement would show effects so quickly. It had just been promoted today and there were already so many people. Wouldn’t there be more tomorrow?

He immediately felt greater pressure. It seemed that he had to hurry up and train the pets. The capacity would be full tomorrow again.

However, after tomorrow, he would be able to accumulate enough energy to upgrade the Spirit Pool.

Su Ping waved his hand and transmitted the message to the Inferno Dragon for it to enter.

The Inferno Dragon swayed its body and snorted. It was dissatisfied with the ants gathered around it. However, due to Su Ping’s constraints, it could not attack them. It could only let them circle around it like flies.

Boom! Boom!

It turned around and walked into the shop.

The crowd gathered on the streets exclaimed when they saw the Inferno Dragon moving.

Some of the bolder people who were standing in front turned pale in fear and hurriedly retreated.

When they realized that the Inferno Dragon had turned around and entered the shop, the people who were shocked were slightly relieved.

“Why did he take away the Inferno Dragon?”

“I haven’t seen enough!”

“What’s going on? There were so many people in the shop earlier. Did something happen?” “I heard the store has reached maximum capacity and is closed for the day. It’ll open tomorrow.”

“Maximum capacity? Closed for the day? What the heck, what time is it now!”

“No way. I only came here after watching the advertisement. Wasn’t Mu Shuangwan’s advertisement launched today? This shop actually closed on the very day of the promotion?!”

“By the way, what time will they open tomorrow?”

“Who knows? There’s no notice.”

The crowd started discussing.

When they saw that the door to the shop was closed, some of the people who had just realized what had happened also knew that the shop was closed for the day.

In such a lively situation, he closed for the day without a word…

Everyone was speechless. Wasn’t the boss too willful?!

A few figures gathered in the crowd.

“Old Zhou, we seem to be late.”

“I just asked a few people who came out from inside. They said that it’s closed for the day and will open tomorrow.”

“No way! It wasn’t easy for me to get here. I even canceled the family meeting tonight!”

“What’s going on with this shop? There are so many people gathered at the entrance. How dare they close the door just like that? Don’t they want to earn money?”

People looked at each other in confusion.

It wasn’t easy from them to rush over from Uptown, but all they got was a closed door.

“Forget it, I’ll come back tomorrow. Old Zhou, I’ll come over early tomorrow morning. I’ll reserve you a good seat,” one of the young men said.

The young man called Old Zhou looked at him and patted his shoulder. “Thanks.”

After saying that, he glanced at the shop’s door sign. “This shop really has a temper. Not only is it open in such a shabby slum, it also does business in such a way. It has bloody broadened my horizons.”

As time passed, the people gathered outside the shop gradually dispersed.

Some drove straight back to Uptown, while some stayed in nearby hotels.

The few restaurants and other shops on this street had never seen such a scene before. All of them had turned into restaurants or hotels and rented their rooms for the guests from Uptown.

Everyone on the street knew that a big shot had appeared on this street, and they had also benefited from it.

Closing for the day was a very normal thing, but when it was done by the Pixie Pet Store that had received a lot of attention today. It was once again trending on Longjiang’s intranet.

Some of the onlookers who hadn’t rushed over or those who were rushing over were stunned by the news.

It was only nine o’clock, and Pixie Pet Store, which was crowded with people, had closed its doors for the day!

Did money suck?

Previously, there was a massive line up of advertisements, done on multiple platforms. It was broadcasted during all the popular dramas… They had thought that having garnered such a huge commotion, they would go all out to earn more money, but now, the shop had closed for the day just after it was hyped up.

This boss was very particular about his work routine!

Below the news was a scene captured by the media who were present. There was a sea of people outside the shop, and it was even more lively than a concert.

In such a lively situation, it was normal for other stores to have their store open the entire night. If they did not take advantage of the popularity to earn a fortune, wouldn’t they be wasting the opportunity?!

Yet, this shop chose to… close for the day.

It rejected all the customers’ enthusiasm. You are cold and heartless, and overly willful!
