Chapter 848: Collecting Cats
After hearing what happened to him, everyone was sighing. The hemp rope specializes in the smallest details to cut off bad luck and only seeks out the miserable. This probably refers to the boss.

Everyone expresses sympathy, but what should I say about this kind of thing? Too many words of comfort have become a burden to others.

Lu Jingxing coughed lightly: "Boss, these little guys look quite pitiful. Please give me a price and I'll see if I can accept it..."

The boss looked at him with very complicated emotions in his eyes, including gratitude and regret: "I won't say much about my thanks, but although they don't look very good now, I spent a lot of money when I bought them. It’s a lot of money, let’s open up the skylight and talk openly about the price. Since you are in this business, if you accept it all, just give me this amount..."

He took out his cell phone and showed the numbers to Lu Jingxing.

It seemed like he had probably figured it out on the way here.

After Lu Jingxing saw the numbers, his expression didn't change much.

To be honest, if it were normal, he would definitely not charge this price.

These cats were all on the thin side and had some problems, so he took them back and had to deal with them all.

And since they are all adult cats, there is no price advantage.

The situation of his cat cafe and the owner are different, so the benefits these cats can bring to him in the end are not great.

After all, he is also doing business...

Seeing his hesitation, the police comrade couldn't hold it anymore. He knew Lu Jingxing and had dealt with Officer Hu several times before.

He pulled Lu Jingxing aside: "Mr. Lu, is it because of the price... that?"

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly and nodded: "The price is indeed a bit high, but I..."

"I understand, I understand. You are also in business, not charity. I will go and talk to him. Alas, there is nothing we can do. If he doesn't deal with it, we receive police calls every day, and having to come every day is the next best thing. The main thing is that the day is getting hotter and these little things will die..." He shook his head.

Everyone has seen the scene they saw when they came in. If Lu Jinghe doesn't accept the situation now and the boss still doesn't care, they can't deal with it directly. After all, as the boss said, he paid for it. , it can’t be dealt with directly.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, I'll take it, I'll take it all..." Lu Jingxing said hurriedly, not wanting to embarrass these policemen.

"Really? Will you suffer a big loss?" the policeman asked.

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "No way. I'll take it back and deal with it properly. It should be fine. Besides, the boss's situation should be true. Even if it's a loss, I'll treat it as charity..."

"Thank you so much. Alas, there are still many good people..." The policeman looks young, probably about the same age as Lu Jingxing, but his tone of voice is the same as that of Officer Hu, with a feeling of being old-fashioned, probably because of his influence. Officer Hu has too much influence, Lu Jingxing thought.

Lu Jingxing looked back and felt confident, so he told the young policeman: "If you have something to do, you can go back first. I will explain to the boss here..."

The young policeman felt relieved when he heard Lu Jingxing say this. He shook Lu Jingxing's hand and said, "Thank you, thank you. I will go back and tell Boss Hu that I will give you a certificate of honor..." He chuckled.

"Haha, okay, I'll post it behind our cashier when the time comes..." Lu Jingxing also laughed.

Certificate of award? Good guy award? Lu Jingxing felt happy.

The young police officer also smiled. Seeing that Lu Jingxing was almost done talking, he turned around and walked to the boss and patted him: "We are also small police officers and can't help you much, but this boss Lu just said "Although your price is not low, he is still willing to accept it..." Then he whispered: "If you can, it will be less meaningless and make people feel more comfortable..."

The boss couldn't help but nod: "Thank you, police officer, thank you. Then I'll tell Boss Lu that I'll pay him a little less later..."

"Yes, that's it. We'll leave first. You guys can discuss it carefully..." He waved his hand, then gestured to Lu Jingxing who was standing at the window and left with his colleagues.

When the police officers left, the bar owner followed suit.

Lu Jingxing, Ji An and the boss were the only ones left in the store.

The boss took the initiative to lean towards Lu Jingxing and handed him a cigarette: "Boss Lu, I heard about you. The main business in my store almost started when I heard about you, so we really have some connections... …”

Lu Jingxing was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I'm sorry, so as an apology, I accept your number, so just pack it all up and give it to me..."

"Ah?" Now it was the boss's turn to be a little surprised? The price he quoted still had some room for counter-offering, and he thought Lu Jingxing would counter-offer.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lu Jingxing was a little surprised when he saw his boss's expression.

"Oh, no, no, then let's take stock. Are you taking them all away today?" The boss waved his hand quickly.

"To be honest, I wouldn't accept your price if it were offered to anyone else... It's just my opinion..." Lu Jingxing said.

"Thank you..." The boss choked up. He was a grown man and had shed tears many times in private.

Lu Jingxing patted him on the back: "It will be fine, everything will be fine..."

The boss put his hands together and cupped them, then bent down and started cleaning the cats on the floor.

Lu Jingxing also directed Ji An: "Pull up all the cages on the car and load them separately to see if they can fit in one car..." The bar owner came up again. After hearing Lu Jingxing's words, he asked: "Is this an agreement? Yet?"

The boss raised his head and nodded to him: "Friend, I'm sorry for disturbing you these days..."

The bar owner waved his hand arrogantly: "It's okay. We've negotiated, right?"

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, we're starting to count now..."

"That's good, that's good, that's it, I'll call a cleaning lady to come up for you. Oh, I'll pay the money. Just tell me when you've finished cleaning it up..." The bar owner also knew the boss. He also let go of what he had been experiencing in the past few months.

"I...I'll come out, please..." the boss said quickly.

"It's okay, it's okay. This is a small amount of money. Besides, I often ask her to help me clean over there. I just need to go and tell her. Should we wait until you finish it, or can we start now?" the bar owner asked.

Lu Jingxing stood up and took a look: "We just need to load the car. If she wants to come up and clean it now, that's fine..."

"Okay, okay, I'll ask her to come up..." After the bar owner said that, he went down the ladder at the back.

Ji An walked in from the front door.

He took more than ten cages at one time, and the stairs were not wide. Lu Jingxing didn't even know how he got them up.

Seeing him coming up, he quickly walked over and received it from him at the door.

The cages are not opened, but they are a little heavy, but they don't take up a lot of space.

After the two placed the cage on the ground, they quickly started to install it.

The boss also rushed over to help.

As soon as the two of them were installed, the long-haired Garfield cat got right in, lay down in the cage, and looked at Lu Jingxing and the others as they were busy without any recognition.

When Lu Jingxing turned around to get the fourth cage, he saw Garfield in the cage at a glance. He stopped and spoke to it in his heart: "Do you like this?"

The little guy was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "Meow...are you here to save us?"

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, I will try my best to save you..."

"Meow...thank you..." The little guy called out softly like a little girl. Although the fur all over his body was knotted, it did not affect his princess-like expression, which was a little melancholy. , and some are aloof.

Lu Jingxing couldn't help but stretched out his hand and stroked its head. The little guys were suffering.

The cages were installed, and cats automatically ran in from several cages.

"Brother Lu, let me put some cans in it. In this way, we don't need to catch them. They will all come in by themselves..." Ji An said with a smile.

"Okay, you go and get some. Lock up those that have already gone in and take them out together later." Lu Jingxing nodded.

Cats in cat cafes are relatively unafraid of people and are relatively docile. Even if Lu Jingxing and others try to catch them, there are not many that are vicious, so catching them is not a problem.

It's just that even after basic cleaning, the smell is still very strong.

Lu Jingxing and others were all wearing masks, but they still felt a little nauseous.

At this time, the boss's phone rang. He glanced at the number and answered it immediately: "Zai Zai, please wait a little longer, and dad will be here..."

After hanging up the phone, he was about to continue helping to install the cage. Lu Jingxing waved his hand to him: "Come on, let's add WeChat and I will transfer the money to you later. You go first. It won't be finished here for a while. We're done." I’ll take pictures for you, and you can take time to deal with the rest of the questions.”

"Thank you so much. The child is alone in the hospital and can't live without me at all. I'm really sorry..." After hearing this, the boss immediately stopped what he was doing and stood up.

"It's okay, I understand. Scan it for me..." Lu Jingxing opened his QR code and asked his boss to scan it directly.

After the two of them became friends, Lu Jingxing transferred the money directly.

When the boss saw the money arrived, he wiped his tears silently and shook hands with Lu Jingxing: "Boss Lu, it's your turn to get rich. You are such a good person..."

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly: "Go and do your work, the child will be fine..."

No one had ever said that he was a good person before. Ever since he started dealing with smaller animals, he found that many people said that he was a good person. Perhaps, this could be considered a blessing.

The boss stood for a while and then left.

Lu Jingxing and Ji An worked for almost two hours before packing all the cats into boxes.
