start with a pet store

Chapter 1005 Nosy
My aunt also agreed with what my uncle said. She always felt uneasy until the matter of the kitten was resolved.

"Brother, Sister Lingling, you guys go ahead. We'll just go back to the hotel with Aunt. We definitely won't cause any trouble." Lu Chen said.

Lu Jingxing smiled and patted his head: "I know you won't do anything naughty, okay, you guys just go back to sleep first. Um, don't let the kitten out. After all, it hasn't been vaccinated or anything. If it gets scratched, it will be troublesome to get a shot."

Lu Chen and Lu Xi nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, I won't let them let it out. You guys go quickly." The aunt said, pulling one person in each hand.

So the two groups of people separated at the restaurant entrance.

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling walked towards the street.

Although it was noon, few people who were traveling wanted to go back home to take a nap at noon, so there were still many people on the road.

The two of them were not walking fast. They would stop from time to time to look at some small items being sold. If they saw something they liked, they would buy it without hesitation.

After walking and stopping here and there, I finally saw the pet shop that my uncle mentioned at the corner of the street.

The pet shop had its glass door closed because the air conditioner was on. The glass door was covered with words, but the sign hanging on the door indicated that the shop was open for business.

The two looked at each other, then opened the door and walked in without hesitation.

"Welcome..." a girl said to them as soon as they entered the store.

"Hello, do you adopt stray cats?" Ji Ling was walking in front and saw that there was a girl at the front desk. She asked directly without waiting for Lu Jingxing to speak.

"A stray cat. How old is it? I need to ask our boss..." The man looked about the same age as Ji Ling. He was wearing a white T-shirt and a small apron with the store's name on it, just like the ones in their store. When he saw the two of them, he quickly poured them each a glass of water.

"Thank you, your service attitude is very good..." Ji Ling took the water and laughed: "Is your boss here? Can I ask?"

The girl shook her head: "The boss just went out to see a patient. I don't know when he will be back..."

"Is that so..." Ji Ling looked at Lu Jingxing with regret.

Lu Jingxing smiled at her and said, "Um, do you usually take in stray cats and dogs?"

The girl nodded. "Occasionally, but not much, because we don't have enough staff. Most of the time, the boss does it himself, and he has been recruiting people but hasn't found the right one."

Lu Jingxing looked at the store. The store didn't look big from the outside, but it was actually quite big inside. It looked very deserted from the outside, with almost no people around, but there were quite a few people inside who were bringing their pets for medical treatment.

On the other side, in the bathing and beauty salon, two staff members were bathing an Alaskan cat. The big guy didn't seem very obedient and made the two staff members who were helping to bathe him very busy.

The rooms in the entire store are separated by glass, and the soundproofing effect is surprisingly good. They were in the front desk hall and could not hear any sound from inside.

There is a door behind the front desk leading to the back hall, where several customers are waiting with their pets. It seems that there is only one clinic, as I only saw one customer walk into the office after such a long time, while those outside were still waiting.

In the hall, you can see staff coming in and out from time to time, taking parents who are here to see a doctor to accompany their children for examinations and so on.

"Besides your boss, is there no one in the store who can make the decision?" Lu Jingxing couldn't help but ask.

"Or, you can sit here and wait for a while. Our other doctor is on vacation today. Doctor Zhou is the only one in the store today. I'll go in and ask Doctor Zhou. Usually when the boss is not here, we usually ask him." said the girl.

"Okay, thank you for your help..." Lu Jingxing nodded.

The girl walked to the door and suddenly asked, "You guys are here for tourism, right? Did you pick up any stray cats? How big are they? How many are there?"

When Lu Jingxing heard this, he finally laughed. What a guy, he finally got to the point.

"Yes, we are here for tourism. We have only seen one so far. We will be going back tomorrow and the little guy is too small, so we need to help find an adoptive parent for it." Ji Ling stood closer to the girl and said quickly.

"Okay, wait a moment..." The girl immediately walked inside after hearing that.

Not long after she went in, Ji Ling, who was standing at the door looking at the shelves, saw a van parked at the door. The driver jumped out quickly as soon as he parked the car, ran to the back door, and then ran straight into the store with difficulty, holding a big golden retriever.

Ji Ling quickly opened the glass door for him.

The man was also wearing clothes from the store. He glanced at Ji Ling and ran in quickly without even saying thank you.

Closely behind, a woman got out of the van and ran in, looking anxious and rushed inside.

"It seems that's the owner of the store that the girl just mentioned. Did he receive the dog that needs to be rescued?" Ji Ling said as she stood beside Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing hummed: "It should be their boss..."

Then the receptionist who had just entered came out quickly and said, "Hello, sorry, the boss is busy right now and has called our doctor Zhou over. He may not have time to deal with the stray cat issue you mentioned."

Lu Jingxing nodded: "It's okay, I understand, let's come back later."

"Okay, okay, or you can leave me your phone number and I'll ask our boss later when he's done with his work. I've only just started working here, so I don't know the situation, but our boss is actually a nice guy, and I think he might accept it." The girl said again.

Ji Ling and Lu Jingxing looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help." Although they could go to other stores to ask, the girl's approach made them feel very comfortable.

So Ji Ling told the girl his number, and they both got ready to leave.

"Honey, can you come quickly? The boss said Fugui may not be able to make it..." The woman who had just followed him in came out while talking on the phone, with tears in her voice. She walked outside and sat down where Lu Jingxing had just stood up.

"What happened to her wealth?" Ji Ling asked the girl at the front desk in a low voice.

"I don't know the details. I just received a call and our boss went out after answering the phone. It was less than 20 minutes in total, but it looks like it's quite serious." The girl said softly.

"I'll go in and take a look..." Lu Jingxing said to Ji Ling after hearing this.

Ji Ling nodded and looked at the girl: "Is it okay?"

The girl was a little embarrassed, but still nodded: "But it's okay, the consultation area is inside, but Dr. Zhou and the boss are in the treatment room now, I'm afraid they can't see you."

"Don't worry about us, he's also a veterinarian, he just wants to see if he can help." Ji Ling explained quickly. She knew that Lu Jingxing wanted to go and see Fugui because he heard the woman call and said that Fugui was dying.

Lu Jingxing had already walked in quickly.

It was very busy inside, and the boss was making arrangements loudly.

Ji Ling also started talking to the woman outside and learned that after the woman gave her dog Fugui food at noon, Fugui needed to poop, so she took him downstairs. After he pooped, he ran around the lawn twice, and then suddenly died. She was so scared that she called the boss immediately.

She still doesn't know what happened to her wealth.

Ji Ling quickly ran in and told Lu Jingxing.

The owner also came in after making a phone call. He was at a loss and kept wiping away tears.

While waiting for the results, the boss and Dr. Zhou were correcting Fugui's fluid imbalance to avoid the risk of sudden death.

Lu Jingxing stood at the door and listened to Ji Ling's words, then looked at the people in the room and said, "We can't wait for the test results to come out, so let's prepare for the operation quickly. Let's shave the hair on its belly first. Time is running out."

Lu Jingxing was familiar with Fugui's situation. He had performed this type of surgery more than once. This was a typical case of gastric torsion.

His words made the people who were holding Fugui raise their heads and look at him in confusion.

The first one to react was the boss: "Hello, do you mean you know what happened to it?"

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Gastric torsion, surgery is required immediately."

"But the results haven't come out yet. Can we do the surgery right away?" The boss looked at Dr. Zhou.

Doctor Zhou's eyes lit up: "These symptoms do look like gastric torsion. How did you tell?" He looked at Lu Jingxing with some excitement.

"Is there an operating table? Prepare it quickly, or it will be too late." Lu Jingxing was a little anxious.

"You can save Fugui, right?" The master grabbed Lu Jingxing as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

The boss and several staff members also looked at him expectantly. The boss asked, "Excuse me, can you perform this operation? Are you a veterinarian? Our doctor who can perform the operation is not here today. In this case, the results are not out yet, so we are not sure if we can do it..."

Lu Jingxing had weighed the pros and cons in his mind before coming in. Although this kind of thing was risky and he might be involved in a lawsuit if the operation was unsuccessful, he couldn't just sit there and watch Fugui die in front of him because of untimely medical treatment.

So he said to his boss, "I have a medical license... If you don't do this operation quickly, even gods won't be able to save me if it's too late."

The boss was very excited when he heard his affirmative tone, but this matter still needed the consent of his master, and he did not dare to take such a big risk. Of course, if the master agreed, he would naturally be happy to see it happen.

So he asked his master, "Sister, do you think you should ask him to help Fugui with the surgery?"

"This..." The master looked at Fugui, who was lying on the ground and was already somewhat unconscious: "How sure are you?"

It had been a long time since Lu Jingxing heard his master ask him how confident he was when encountering an emergency. However, he could still understand. After thinking about it, he said in an official manner: "For this kind of thing, no one can guarantee you how confident they are. I can only say that if it does not undergo surgery, it will be..." at most in half an hour.

"Sister, what he said is true. Gastric torsion is extremely critical. The golden time is... only one hour at most. That's the limit for our situation. If... if we wait for all the results to come out, it will definitely be too late." Doctor Zhou said hurriedly. He even stuttered as he spoke in a hurry.

"Then do it quickly, don't delay." At this time, a male voice suddenly sounded at the door.

"Husband..." The rich master heard the voice, looked over and shouted with sobs.

"Hello, please do it for us. We will bear all the consequences." The man came over, patted his lover, and then looked at Lu Jingxing.

"Okay..." Lu Jingxing nodded.

Seeing Ji Ling with a worried look beside him, he gave her a reassuring look.

Ji Ling didn't blame him for meddling in other people's business, but after all, they were unfamiliar with the place and she was indeed worried that he would cause unnecessary trouble. However, she also knew that Lu Jingxing would definitely not be able to just ignore Ren Fugui's life, so from beginning to end, she didn't say a word against him, but her worry was still inadvertently revealed on her face.

Seeing the look Lu Jingxing gave her, she felt relieved again. She was sure that he was sure, otherwise he would not have spoken so confidently. She just had to wait patiently.

Seeing that the owner had spoken, the boss naturally stopped struggling: "Hello, how should we cooperate?"

"Shave its belly first and prepare the operating room immediately." Lu Jingxing quickly adjusted his situation.

Ji Ling asked another nurse standing nearby: "Excuse me, do you have extra surgical gowns?"

The young nurse nodded and quickly found a set of clothes with Ji Ling.

At this time, Lu Jingxing had already taken over the leading position. He asked Dr. Zhou and others to cooperate with him to perform a puncture and deflate Fugui to relieve the pressure before entering the operating room.

Then, while Fugui's condition had recovered and the operating room had been tidied up, several people carried Fugui and ran quickly to the operating room.

When everyone carried Fugui to the operating room, Ji Ling followed and helped Lu Jingxing put on his surgical gown and surgical cap tacitly, and then gave him a pair of disposable surgical gloves: "Be careful..." she couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't worry, it's okay, we'll be in time." After Lu Jingxing gave her an affirmative answer again, he followed Dr. Zhou and the boss into the operating room.

After entering the operating room, the entire surgical process became his home.

Apart from occasionally helping out, the boss and his doctor Zhou were simply shocked.

Lu Jingxing completed the long gastric torsion surgery in one go and then sutured it perfectly.

Watching his smooth movements while suturing, Dr. Zhou couldn't help but feel envious.

The boss himself usually just helps out. Although there are two doctors in their store, besides Dr. Zhou, the other one is on leave today. However, he has seen countless surgeries. Lu Jingxing's skills and operations still amazed him.

"Okay, the anesthetic will be fine once it wakes up." Lu Jingxing put away the needle and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Master, you have performed so many surgeries and practiced suturing for so long. The suture is so perfect." Dr. Zhou couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.
