start with a pet store

Chapter 1020 Borrow a dog?

Another boy who looked younger than him frowned after hearing what Lu Jingxing said, "Isn't it just lending you two dogs? Why do we need to discuss this? We've already run away twice, this is too..."

"Xiao Wu, what are you talking about..." The older one immediately said in a scared tone.

The boy named Xiaowu muttered a few words in dissatisfaction.

Lu Jingxing really didn't expect this to happen. He looked up in surprise and said, "Little brother, is there any problem with this?"

"Sorry, sorry, it's no problem. The kid just graduated from school and hasn't seen the world. Don't bother with him. We're waiting for your news. Sorry to bother you." Seeing Lu Jingxing's face fall, the older man quickly stood up, half bent over to apologize.

Then he pulled the man named Xiaowu and walked outside.

"Sorry, you're busy, we'll leave first." The older man said as he walked outside, waving his hand.

As the old saying goes, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. So Lu Jingxing nodded and said nothing more.

"What's wrong with you? I told you not to come, but you still came. Don't you know what to say and what not to say?" The older man couldn't help but growl as he walked out of the door.

"We've run away several times. It's just a pet shop. What's there to be proud of? Not to mention that you said it was a loan. Even if they took it away, it's not a big deal. Do you have to be so humble?" The boy called Xiaowu was dragged by the older man and said unconvincedly, but he probably knew that this was someone else's territory, so he spoke in a low voice.

"What do you know... Stop talking nonsense. I told you that we shouldn't bring kids like you out here. You're always doing bad things." The older man said as he pulled him out.

Ji Ling, who came out from the backyard, happened to see the big and the small person going out in a strange manner and cursing at the back door.

"What's that for?" she asked, somewhat confused.

Lu Jingxing was looking for something in the drawer when he suddenly heard Ji Ling's voice and looked up at her: "It's the person that Yang Pei mentioned yesterday who wanted to borrow Black Tiger and the General to perform at the training base..."

"Oh, I haven't seen them before. These aren't the two people I dealt with before, right?" Ji Ling looked back and saw that the two men had already left the store.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, I don't know him either, I've never seen him, and I think he's a little strange, and I feel like something's wrong."

"Ah, what's wrong? Is it someone?" Ji Ling's curiosity was piqued, and he walked up to him and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Yeah, I just feel like something is wrong with the person. I just checked on my phone, but it seems like there's no contact information for the base. Why can't I find that coach? I remember adding him on WeChat..." Lu Jingxing just looked around, but there was no phone number or WeChat, so he became even more confused.

"It should be there. It's okay. The base's phone number can be found. Just look for it..." Ji Ling also started looking for it himself.

"Let's go eat first and see if Yang is here. Ask him what's going on. He should know something." Lu Jingxing found Hei Hu's certificate, but there was no base phone number or anything on it, so he had to give up.

The two of them came to the cafeteria together and ran into Yang Pei who was about to go downstairs.

"Why did you come just now? I have finished eating." Yang Pei grinned as she stood at the stairs.

"Then go back and sit for a while..." Lu Jingxing also said with a smile.

Yang Pei turned around without saying a word and accompanied Lu Jingxing back to the cafeteria.

"Doctor Xiao Yang, are you still not full?" Aunt Xie asked with a smile.

"Oh, I'm full. I'm full. Let me rest for a while before going on." Yang Pei burped.

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling greeted Aunt Xie, then went to get their own portions and sat down at the small table.

"The people from the training base just came. What did they tell you at that time?" Lu Jingxing asked Yang Pei after drinking a sip of soup.

"Well, they said they wanted to borrow it for two or three days to perform something. When they came that day, they wanted to take it away, but I didn't agree. They said they couldn't make the decision. And when I asked them about the time, they said they hadn't decided yet, so I didn't let them take it away." Yang Pei thought for a moment and said, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"I always feel something is wrong. These two people don't seem to be from the base. They don't have that kind of love for animals." Lu Jingxing said this because they waited in his office for almost two hours when they came.

At that time, before he entered the office, he met Ba Mao who was leaving the office.

This guy was quite clever. When he saw Lu Jingxing, he first asked for a hug. Lu Jingxing had just gotten off the operating table and was not ready to play with it, so the little guy stopped him and said to him in words he could understand: "The two people inside don't look like good people."

Lu Jingxing even laughed at that time: "What's wrong, did I hit you?"

"Meow... No, the smell from them makes me uncomfortable..." said the little guy while hugging his legs.

You have to know that from the time Lu Jingxing knew Ba Mao until now, the little guy has never directly commented on a person like this. Most of the time, he acts as if it has nothing to do with the matter. Apart from asking for hugs or cans, he has never thought that commenting on a person is enough.

Lu Jingxing was extremely surprised at that time.

This is also the reason why he did not agree immediately after listening to the other party's request.

If it was really someone from the base who came to borrow Black Tiger and the General, there was no reason for him to refuse, but after seeing what Ba Mao did, he began to have some doubts.

What’s worse, later, when Lu Jingxing picked up Ba Mao and prepared to take it back to the office, the little guy actually kicked his feet and ran away, not even wanting the usual lingering hug.

"Is that so? Then don't lend it to me. He's not an important person anyway." Yang Pei said.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "I thought so too. I wanted to call and ask about the situation at the base, but I couldn't find their contact information..."

"If it really doesn't work, didn't you say you wanted to go to the Bird Forest? Then we can pass by there and stop by the base to have a look?" Ji Ling said.

Lu Jingxing raised his head and said, "Okay, if they really have an event, then it's not impossible to let Heihu and the others participate. I might as well go there myself." He nodded in agreement.

"Hey, it's not a big deal. Looking at your looks, I thought you encountered something big." Yang Pei said with a smile.

"By the way, there's something I haven't told you..." Lu Jingxing quickly finished his meal and wiped his mouth with a napkin from the table.

"Big deal?" Yang Pei couldn't help but ask when she saw him like this.

Lu Jingxing laughed first and told Yang Pei about the staff dormitory. Yang Pei naturally agreed with such a good benefit.

In the afternoon, Lu Jingxing finished an operation and saw that there was nothing to do for the time being. Xiao Liu, Xiao Jiu and the others were all here today, so he called Ji Ling and said, "Let's go to the bird forest and take a look."

Ji Ling happily followed him all the way to the bird forest.

Just as Song Weiyuan said, the foundation of the bird forest is almost completed now, the road has been repaired, and the small stream that used to look bumpy has now been widened. It is the rainy season now, and the water in the stream is quite deep, but it feels very clear. Walking along the stream feels very comfortable.

The forest area covers a total area of ​​nearly 70,000 square meters. They dug a large artificial lake on the west side, which is still under construction.

There is an ecological park on the east side. Normally, there are many people climbing the mountain. Now that the bird forest has been developed, many people will come around here to go down the mountain.

Going out from the south is the direction of Long'an Expressway.

In addition, the two chemical plants originally built on the edge of the forest area were moved away, and the air has become better.

Although it is not yet fully completed, you can already feel the joy of the birds when walking in the wooded area.

"What a huge change! It was quite desolate the last time I came here." Ji Ling said in surprise. She didn't participate much in this project. She went to school during the development. It was mainly Lu Jingxing and Song Weiyuan who were in charge of the operation.

Lu Jingxing led Ji Ling forward and continued walking: "This is the first phase. Later it will be divided into several functional areas: entrance distribution area, comprehensive service area, recreation and appreciation area, skynet bird-friendly area, bird performance area, wetland landscape area, children's play area, etc."

"Ah, is it so rich? I thought it was just a bird forest. Does this mean it will be open to the public in the future?" Ji Ling asked.

Lu Jingxing seldom talked to her about the Bird's Singing Forest, so she was not clear about the plan for it.

"At first, I had the same idea as you, but Lao Song is a businessman after all. He thinks about making money, while I only care about animals. So, we have to find a balance between the two and make the Bird's Singing Forest a paradise. This will not only bring him commercial benefits, but also provide a place for the birds to play. I think it's okay."

Ji Ling nodded seriously: "This is indeed feasible..."

"Yes, so, the last time we came, we were planning to requisition only this area. At that time, it was less than 20,000 square meters. Now the area is more than three times larger than before. Old Song has made the greatest contribution. He applied to the higher authorities for approval of such a large area, which I did not expect." Lu Jingxing did not intend to continue the development, but once he got deeper into the matter, he had no choice.

But then again, this is a good thing. Song Weiyuan discussed with him that the original plan had less than 20,000 square meters, but now it has been expanded. Although a commercial area has been added, the actual range of activities for the birds has also been greatly increased.

The two of them walked and looked along the way, and later came to the project department, where Song Weiyuan and Song Yixing were both there.

Lu Jingxing rarely attended the meetings, but now that he happened to be here, he attended the meeting.

After the meeting, Lu Jingxing briefly mentioned a few of his opinions and then walked out of the meeting room with a few others.

Ji Ling did not attend the meeting, but walked around.

By the time the two got back into the car, it was almost dark.

"Should we go back directly or visit the training base?" Ji Ling asked.

"Let's go and take a look, so as to avoid feeling like we're being led by the nose." Lu Jingxing said.

It is only more than half an hour's drive from the Bird's Singing Forest to the training base.

The two drove directly to the base office area.

This base is quite large. Although it is almost dark, most of the coaches live in the base, so when Lu Jingxing and his friends arrived, many people were there.

They parked the car and walked directly to the general office.

Lu Jingxing saw the coach who used to train Black Tiger at a glance and went straight up to say hello.

The coach recognized Lu Jingxing at a glance, but he mainly recognized Heihu. Heihu's tail was about to break when he saw the coach, and it was obvious that he also recognized the coach.

"Doctor Lu, what brings you here?" The coach walked over excitedly, shook hands with Lu Jingxing, and then hugged Heihu.

Lu Jingxing smiled and explained his purpose: "I passed by here and thought I hadn't been here for a while, so I came in to take a look and let Black Tiger get familiar with the environment earlier..."

"Welcome, welcome. I haven't seen Heihu for a long time. I missed you a lot. I guess the general didn't come?" The coach stroked Heihu's back hard and grinned.

"It didn't come. Anyway, it won't come in a few days, so I brought the black tiger today." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

The coach seemed to have just heard this: "They're coming in a few days? Why, do they need to do any more training?"

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling looked at each other. How could it be such a big deal? Doesn’t the coach know about it?
The coach saw their expressions and seemed to understand something: "Come on, don't stand here and talk, go sit in our lounge..."

As he said that, he led the two of them to the lounge.

After serving tea to the two, the coach asked without waiting for Lu Jingxing to ask, "Did one of our coaches ask you to borrow Black Tiger and the General to perform a show?"

Hearing what he said, Lu Jingxing felt that there was something wrong with this matter. He nodded and said, "Yes, this afternoon two coaches who claimed to be from your base came to me and asked me to lend Black Tiger and General to them for about a week, saying that there was a large-scale event at the base."

"You didn't borrow it?" the coach asked quickly. "Oh, probably not, the black tiger is still there." He continued to ask and answer his own questions.

"Does that mean they are not from your base?" Ji Ling couldn't help but ask.

The coach shook his head. "No, I have received two clients contacting me about this matter. I just told them that it was not true. I didn't expect them to find you. It seems that I have to report this matter..."

"Luckily, Brother Lu felt something was wrong. It turned out they were really scammers. But why did they do this? To trick Hei Hu and the general away? What for?" Ji Ling asked three questions in a row, confusing the other two.

The coach shook his head. "I don't know. What is certain is that they are definitely not from our base. They are not borrowing Black Tiger and General for our base. We have never done such a thing. Moreover, even if we really want to do such a show, there are so many dogs in the base. There is no need to borrow dogs that have already graduated to perform. Wouldn't it be better to use the dogs in the current base?"

Lu Jingxing also agreed with his statement: "Yes, when they said it, I thought it was very strange, but what they said seemed to make sense, it's just that the two of them acted a little impatient..."
