Li Du didn't believe that Hans would cheat him, so he started to fill out the form while asking, "Then what level are you in the club?"
Shifting from side to side, Hans nervously replied, "En, are you hungry? What do you want for dinner? Ah, where's my phone? Hold on while I get it…"
"Sh*t, are you still at the Ten Thousand club?" Just seeing his reaction was enough for Li Du to guess the right answer, "How many years have you been in this business, why are you still at the Ten Thousand level?"
"What's that look? Are you looking down on me?! It's really difficult to get in the Hundred Thousand club alright? Do you even know the guidelines?" shouted Hans.
Li Du simply shrugged, "I don't know, so you tell me."
"It's really difficult. For the Ten Thousand club, you only need to earn a net income of ten thousand at an auction, but to get into the Hundred Thousand club, you need at least two auctions with income of over a hundred thousand!"
"Is that really that hard?" questioned Li Du.
What he didn't know was that it only took a day for him to experience its difficulty. There's an association branch located right in Phoenix, so as soon as he finished the form, they went to submit the application.
However, the application was soon denied.
Seeing the big red X on the form, Hans angrily pounded on the desk, "Why is this application denied, my buddy here earned more than ten thousand this time."
"It's really simple Mr Fox. According to our investigation, you spent fifty-five hundred for the storage at the Cactus storage firm, while your income is less than twenty thousand, so how can your buddy have earned more than ten thousand?" the chubby brunette explained with a pleasant attitude.
"Actually, we've agreed to a 4-6 split, so I get 40% while gets 60%." Hans quickly explained.
"We need a document stating that which you should have provided that beforehand. It's too late now, but we'll take that into consideration for future auctions," the chubby lady shrugged.
At this moment, a Mexican man appeared at the office. Soon, they heard the mocking laughter of Lucas as he scorned, "Hey look who's here! Welcome to Phoenix Hans, what are you guys doing here?"
He was clearly already in the building and must also had known what the two came for. Now that the application had been denied, he's intentionally trying to annoy them.
However, Li Du didn't give him the chance and immediately dragged Hans away. As they passed Lucas, he said to Lucas, "We eared twenty thousand with the Yamaha and the DW drums, if you've got any information in the future, you should make sure that it's accurate."
"There must be a lot of people who will hate your gut this time. Yo buddy, you are probably not too happy staying in Phoenix, do you want to move to Flagstaff with us?" Hans taunted.
"Oh, sorry, Flagstaff doesn't welcome you either," added Li Du.
At this, Lucas's face immediately turned dark.
Although it was quite unfortunate that Li Du wasn't able to join the association, but his disappointment was gone in a moment since he knew that he would eventually meet the standards.
However, Hans didn't seem to be able to swallow this annoyance. As soon as they got back to Flagstaff, he took Li Du to the red-light district with the intention of finding some girls for him.
"I don't have anger that I need to release," Li Du said as he shook his head.
Slapping the drive wheel, Hans shouted, "Don't act like a monk, you are a normal man, not a cleric who has swore off all earthly pleasures."
There really wasn't much to argue there, it's simply different view on life. Although he was a normal man and was quite interested in beautiful women, he wouldn't get involved with such girls.
When they got to the red-light district, Hans got off the car as Li Du switched to the driver's seat. Before leaving, Li Du said, "See you later buddy, and have a good time. I'm going to check up on Ah Meow's wound."
At this, Ah Meow cooperated with several "Meow Meow!"
When he got to Red Cross of St. John Hospital, attending the front next was the black nurse that he met last time. When she saw him and Ah Meow, she gestured to the door and took him to a side office, before questioning, "Here to change the drugs?"
"Yes, he's situation is quite good, I think that the medicine worked," Li Du showed her the cage.
As the nurse carefully played with Ah Meow, as he took the initiative by pushing his paws forward, "I'm called Kanali, you are a very kind man, God bless you."
"Thank you, in that case, could we change the medicine here?"
Kanali shook her head before continuing, "You don't need to change the drugs here, Li. The fees at the hospital ars very expensive, I can get you the names of the drugs which you can get at your local clinic."
"It's not prescription drugs right," question Li Du.
In America, getting prescription drugs was quite hard at the local pharmacies.
"It's simply medicine for outer trauma, or more specifically, a kid friendly version. Also, Dr. Sophie isn't in today, so when you need help changing the medicine, you could go visit her home."
"Is that really alright? I'm not troubling her right?" Li Du hesitated.
"I think Sophie would love your visit. In fact, I think this is what she wants as well. She likes little animals very much, and will probably play with Ah Meow for an entire afternoon," Kanali smiled.
Since he visited Sophie's house with Hans just two days ago, there was no need to ask for directions.
After nurse Kanali helped him get in contact with Sophie, he drove directly there. When he got to the door, Sophie was already waiting outside.
With the chill of early spring yet to recede, the blonde hair twisted in a braid down the young doctor's back. She wore a blue sweater and a high collared blouse decorated with lace that resembled flowers. As she stood upon the porch showing off her slim figure, she resembled the blooming flowers of early spring.
Seeing Li Du and the kitten, Sophie let out a captivating smile that showed her anticipation.
At this, Li Du's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but wonder when his charisma increased to such a degree that even such a beautiful doctor like Sophie had been effected by him.
As if answering his unrealistic dream, Sophie directly went to Ah Meow.
Perhaps it's because of the shadow left behind by the surgery, the normally fierce Ah Meow behaved like a normal kitten and didn't attack Sophie as she caressed him. In fact, upon her touch, Ah Meow's tremble could clearly be seen.
"Everything's alright, good kitten, let's see if your butt is any better today," Sophie comforted him after they got inside.
Seeing this, Li Du's heart skipped another beat, which made him speechless, it couldn't be that he's having a heart attack right?
Seeing that it wasn't any serious injury and that Sophie often faced such issues, even though it took over an hour, the entire process was quite smooth and soon Ah Meow was taken care of.
With nothing else to do, Li Du quickly swept his gaze across the living room.
The house had been carefully cleaned, and the dark brown floor shone with the gloss of oak, contrasting the milky white sofa and tea table.
There's very little decoration or furniture in the room, the only thing of note was the white piano that stood with the same color as the other furniture.
Since he really couldn't stare at the girl the entire time, he shifted his gaze to the piano.
Seeing his attention, Sophie asked after taking care of Ah Meow, "Do you play the piano?"
Li Du decided to show off his elegant side, "En, when I was in school, I often listened to Mozart - eh, Mozart used piano for his compositions right? Don't tell me that he used the violin."
Hearing the second part of his chitchat, Sophie chuckled, "Of course, his talent in classical music is unmatched."
After that, with nothing else between them, they soon descended into an awkward silence. At this, Li Du understood the situation, and with another round of thanks, he soon left with Ah Meow.
