Strange Life of a Cat
Chapter 404 - Chapter 404 Chapter 389 Cant Go Anywhere Without It

Chapter 404: Chapter 389: Can’t Go Anywhere Without It Chapter 404: Chapter 389: Can’t Go Anywhere Without It Mr. Jiao drove his family to the location Yang Yi had mentioned at the agreed time.

After all, children of their age can’t help but be curious about celebrities due to the influence of the environment around them. You wouldn’t know it from how Jiao Yuan and Su An act around their elders–looking all serious–but actually, they think quite a lot. In private, they also talk about celebrities, especially sports and female movie stars. As for Little Youzi, although not exactly a fan, he often watches TV and has his favorite TV shows, so naturally, he has some favorite celebrities. Knowing they were going to visit the headquarters of Yixing Culture to see some celebrities, both of them were very happy.

Meanwhile, Mr. Jiao and Jiao Ma were considering how to decline if Yang Yi again suggested their cat act in a TV show or movie.

Zheng Tan had already decided not to get involved in such matters anymore. Doing one movie was enough. He wasn’t professionally into that line of work; there was no need to push it further.

Yang Yi sent an assistant to meet them, who showed his identification and parked the car in the underground parking lot before taking the elevator up. The elevator was a private one, requiring a card swipe and a password, usually used only by Yang Yi and a few key figures.

While at the parking lot, they also spotted a few familiar faces from television. Jiao Ma and Jiao Yuan couldn’t help looking over several times.

After the Jiao family was led into the elevator, those who had parked their cars walked towards another elevator, but didn’t rush in, instead choosing to gossip a bit first, as they were not in a hurry.

“Was that Boss Yang’s relatives just now?”

“Probably, otherwise why would he send Sara to pick them up?” another said.

The ‘Sara’ they referred to was the assistant Yang Yi had sent.

“There was also a cat just now. A black one, did you see it?”

“Speaking of cats, could it be that one?”

“Are you talking about that movie last year that caused a sensation? The cat was supposedly called…what was it?”

“Z, I heard Xue Ding and the others mention it. Looks like it was called Z. Back then, Boss Yang and Kong Han treated it like a treasure, without letting any news slip out,” said someone who hadn’t spoken until then. He seemed very interested in that cat, which had caused quite a buzz on the internet last year, “Why don’t we go up and see later?”

Last year’s movie had made Xue Ding and Tao Qi well-known and had further advanced Shi Xiaotian and Wei Wen’s careers, as well as brought more fame to Yang Yi. However, many mysteries remained unsolved to this day. Even if one asked the actors, including those not from his company like Ronald, none would speak; to be precise, they dared not speak. Over the year, even the biggest questions had ceased being asked. Amid the constant storms of the entertainment industry, the storms of the past were no longer mentioned, but now that they had encountered the subject, they couldn’t help being a bit curious.

“What are you guys talking about?” asked a voice in high heels, drawing closer.

“Hello, Wei,” said one of the younger group members with a smile.

The person who approached was Wei Kala along with her agent.

“Kala, I heard you might be in “Totem”?” asked a man in his thirties. “Totem” was a big-budget movie, and being chosen for it was a recognition of one’s status as a star. However, he was a singer with little interest in acting in movies. Most of his acquaintances were singers, and he had few ties with actors, including Wei Kala, so there wasn’t much competitive envy involved.

“It’s not confirmed yet,” said Wei Kala, preferring not to discuss it further, but instead asked, “What were you guys talking about just now, Wang?”

Wang didn’t hide anything and briefly explained.

Wei Kala’s heart skipped a beat. She remembered the person she had encountered yesterday in the residential area, and that black cat.

After they entered the elevator, Wang suddenly said, “Kala, your fellow townsman has been quite in the spotlight recently.”

In the elevator, Wei Kala frowned slightly and replied softly, “Oh, she is quite talented.”

“There are many talented people,” Wang said no more as the elevator reached its destination and he left with his two friends.

When only Wei Kala and her agent were left in the elevator, the agent, standing beside her, watched the elevator’s floor indicator and remarked, “Stay away from your fellow townsman. She’s becoming increasingly reckless. It’s only a matter of time before she ruins herself.”

“Hmm,” Wei Kala murmured, looking down, lost in thought, merely responding softly.

Meanwhile, the person and cat that were led to Yang Yi’s office were intently studying the cover of the magazine Yang Yi had given them.

Normally, the Jiao family didn’t pay much attention to fashion magazines; the only two they had were ones others had read and passed along to them, now serving as table leg stabilizers. As for new fashion magazines, no one in the Jiao family followed them.

Currently, on the cover of one of the top-selling fashion magazines in the country, there was a somewhat aloof-looking model and a black cat.

Jiao Ma stared carefully at the magazine and then said uncertainly, “Is that really our Heitan?”

It didn’t look like it.

Not just Jiao Ma, the other Jiao family members also felt that the cat on the magazine cover, looking like a sleek panther with a steely aura, didn’t resemble their own mischievous and unruly cat.

“Although the photography techniques influenced it, this indeed is him,” Yang Yi pointed at Zheng Tan and told the Jiao family.

Yang Yi’s rush in seeking Zheng Tan wasn’t because he wanted to invest in another cat-themed movie but rather he was acting on someone else’s request. The issue of the magazine from last year no longer occupied anyone’s attention. However, Li Wei’s agent had been in touch with Yang Yi, expressing hope for another collaboration. At that time, knowing the Jiao family didn’t want to increase their cat’s public exposure, Yang Yi had spoken to Li Wei’s agent and the matter was put aside. However, not long ago, when Li Wei came to Beijing for a show, her agent brought up the topic again during a conversation with Yang Yi. After receiving a call from Kong Han yesterday, Yang Yi thought of persuading the Jiao family once more to see if they might relent.
