start with a pet store

Chapter 907 The legal network is restored
Lu Jingxing came up with an idea: "Then do you know what I'm thinking?"

Ji Ling blushed on the other end of the phone: "I don't know."

Lu Jingxing said: "I wonder why they don't look at the sun, hahaha..."

"Beep, beep, beep..." The hang-up sound suddenly rang out, and the smile on Lu Jingxing's face froze.

On the phone, there was only a line of cold text: "I'm sleepy, bye..."

Lu Jingxing looked at the moon in the sky and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. This little girl's temper is getting worse and worse.

As he walked out of the park, he sent a message to the girl: "Miss you..."

When Ji Ling heard her cell phone ring, she picked it up immediately. She was angry with herself, mainly because she was not in a good mood today. She had never been so willful in front of Lu Jingxing. When she was struggling with whether she should reply to his message, Lu Jingxing's message came at the right time.

Then, the little girl was just staring at her phone and laughing foolishly.

You have to know that Lu Jingxing is not a person who likes to express his feelings. It is rare for him to say so directly that he misses me.

She replied with a satisfied expression, saying that she would let him go this time.

Now I can sleep peacefully.

She didn't plan to tell Lu Jingxing about the troubles that happened today. She decided to take a good sleep and the problem would be solved when she woke up.

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly when he saw the emoticon.

Today is the first time that I have put down my work and gone out to have fun.

But it also helps me to empty my mind, which is good.

He even hummed a little tune unconsciously.

On the way back, he found a snack stand on the side of the road and ate something, then went back to the store to see the little ones who had undergone surgery today before going home.

The next day, as soon as he arrived at the store, the finance department found him and said, "Brother Lu, I haven't reconciled the accounts for half a month. I reconciled them today, but the accounts don't seem to be right."

Lu Jingxing used to handle the store's finances himself, but after the beginning of this year, they considered these matters too cumbersome, so they decided to hire this girl.

The girl had just graduated from the College of Finance and Economics and was introduced by her aunt, so she knew the man well. However, since she had just graduated not long ago, she did not have much experience. She had no problem with basic financial work, but this matter had obviously exceeded her knowledge and experience.

When she came, she had a sad face, holding the financial statements, and didn't dare to look at Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing seldom goes to the finance office, so even though he hired this person, they only meet on payroll days and they don't interact much on other days.

Seeing the girl like this, he didn't know what happened to her. He thought she had mismanaged her business and was caught evading taxes, so he quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did the tax bureau call?"

The finance girl shook her head.

"What happened?" Lu Jingxing asked patiently.

He actually disliked people who hesitated like this, but looking at the financial situation, it was obvious that this matter was not small, at least it was not a small matter for her.

"It's okay, just tell me..." Seeing her guilty look, Lu Jingxing said again.

"Brother Lu, I did a stupid thing..." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Jingxing and found that he still had the same expression.

I made up my mind and said it no matter what: "I didn't check the account this week. When I checked it today, I found that almost 10,000 yuan was missing. I calculated it many times to make sure I didn't make a mistake."

"How much is almost ten thousand? What's going on?" Lu Jingxing was also a little surprised. Although this accountant came to work here right after graduation, she had done a good job in accounting in the past few months and there hadn't been any mistakes. It was indeed surprising that there were so many mistakes at once.

"The specific number is 9,560 yuan..." The finance department took out a list.

Lu Jingxing took the list from her, which showed that there were five or six invoices. The final total was just over nine thousand yuan. However, after looking at the invoices, he still didn't understand what was going on.

"What's going on?" He looked at the finance department with some confusion.

"I have cleared it out. These are the refunds generated by the order returns that occurred in the past few days. However, I did not actually receive the deposit..." said the finance department, pointing to the list.

"Wait a minute, please speak slowly. Why do I feel more and more confused the more I listen?" Lu Jingxing was really confused.

"It's like this. These past few days, several customers have ordered cats from our colleagues at the cattery and then paid a deposit. Don't we have a rule? After paying the deposit, if the customer doesn't want the cat by the specified date, we will charge 20% of the deposit and it will not be refunded."

Lu Jingxing nodded, yes there was such a rule.

"It started with this..." The finance department handed Lu Jingxing one of the earliest invoices, and the number on it showed was four thousand two hundred yuan.

"The other party ordered a Garfield cat from Zilin, an employee of our cattery, half a month ago. We quoted a price of more than 8,000 yuan, but he basically did not bargain and simply gave a 50% deposit of 4,200 yuan. At that time, Zilin said that he had given the customer our payment code, and then the customer sent a screenshot of the payment shortly afterwards. It was my fault later because I did not check..." At this point, the financial department's guilty voice became much smaller.

Lu Jingxing tapped the table from time to time with his hands, without expressing his opinion, waiting for the finance department to continue speaking.

The Finance Department swallowed his saliva and continued, "Later, a few days later, when he could take the Garfield he ordered, he sent me a message saying that his family wouldn't allow him to keep it and he had no choice but to give it up. Zilin said that if you really don't want it, we will deduct 20% of the deposit. Unexpectedly, he agreed readily and sent me the order. I happened to be on vacation that day, and after Zilin told me about it, I looked at the payment slip and thought there was no problem, so I transferred the money to him directly." The Zilin that the Finance Department was referring to is Long Zilin, an employee of the cattery.

At this time, Long Zilin also walked in. He was also a party to this matter. As soon as he heard about it, he came over immediately.

"Brother Lu, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. How could there be such a person?" Zilin found it unbelievable.

"No, what's the problem? Why don't I understand?" Xiao Jiu had followed the finance department in before they came in. He has been listening until now, but he just didn't understand what they meant.

He looked at Lu Jingxing, who also didn't understand: "He gave the money, you return 80%, is there any problem?"

Lu Jingxing frowned: "Yeah, what's the problem?"

"No, the problem is that the screenshot of 4,200 yuan was photoshopped. In fact, he didn't transfer any money at all..." The finance department said anxiously when he saw that no one understood.

"Ah?" Xiaojiu, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up in disbelief and walked to Lu Jingxing to look at the lists in front of him. "It's true. Sister Dandan and I have checked many times. We are sure that these sums of money have not been received. Originally, we thought that this happened because we were not careful enough. We were going to share the money. Now that person has blocked me and can't contact me, we still think we should tell Brother Lu, even if we have to be fined, we have to tell it..." Zilin said.

Financial Dandan glanced at Zilin and said, "Brother Lu, I'm sorry. I know the main responsibility lies with me, but I really didn't expect something like this to happen..."

Lu Jingxing was still looking at the several lists printed out by the financial department's Dandan: "You guys don't think there's anything wrong with the same person canceling the order several times?"

"No, no, it's not the same person. This person should have several WeChat accounts, and the cats he chose are different. The prices are high and low, and every time he bargains, he pretends to bargain. We were talking about why so many cats have been returned recently a few days ago, but we saw that the other party was willing to bear the 20%, so we didn't tell you..." Zilin said anxiously.

"In other words, this person is actually the same person, but he contacted you using different WeChat names, and the routine was the same. In the end, not only did you not make the 20%, you also lost the 80% that he said you would pay as a deposit?" Lu Jingxing finally turned around.

Finance staff Dandan and Zilin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's it..."

Xiao Jiu stared at the side and said, "Can it be operated this way? Then, is this considered a scam?"

"Brother Lu, is this considered a scam? Even if it is, we can't contact him now..." Several people looked at Lu Jingxing at the same time. Regardless of what punishment they would receive, they didn't want to let this matter go.

Lu Jingxing pondered for a while: "Does he have a phone number? Even if he is blocked, you can still see his WeChat ID, right?"

"I have the phone number and WeChat..." Zilin found the man's WeChat: "This is the original name..."

"What should we do about this?" Xiaojiu has been working as a veterinarian with his father for so long and has never heard of such a thing. He just thinks this matter is not easy to handle.

"I'll try to contact him first to see if I can get in touch with him. This amount of money already constitutes a crime. If I can't get in touch with him, I'll report it to the police directly..." Lu Jingxing said after thinking for a while. He didn't know what kind of person the other party was, whether he was a repeat offender or a first-time offender.

He waved his hand: "Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'll contact them first..."

Zilin said softly, "Brother Lu, if we can't find it, can we pay it back in installments?"

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly: "You should be punished, but considering that you have never experienced it, we will talk about the punishment later..."

"Thank you, Brother Lu..." Zilin and Dandan said in unison.

Dandan felt even more guilty. Although, she usually operated in this way and there had never been any problems, and Lu Jingxing had never said that there was anything wrong with her operating in this way, but now that this incident had happened, it must be that she had not done her job well enough.

She thought Lu Jingxing would definitely criticize her harshly. She had been struggling for a long time before coming in to talk about this. She was afraid that if something like this happened, Lu Jingxing would even fire her. After all, the salary here was still considerable in comparison, and she really cherished this job.

Hearing that Lu Jingxing didn't intend to fire her, she breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't fired, she would be willing to share the cost, even if she had to pay part of it.

Lu Jingxing didn't think as much as they did. He was not very sure whether he could get the money back.

He called the other party directly. Perhaps because it was an unfamiliar number, the other party answered it quickly: "Who is this?"

Lu Jingxing immediately introduced himself: "Hello, I am Lu Jingxing from Chongai Youjia. We have found several accounts related to you in the past two days. Your behavior has violated the law. I hope you can return the money so that I don't have to call the police."

From the voice, one could tell that the other person was not very old, and Lu Jingxing was still thinking about giving him a chance.

"I don't know you, you've got the wrong person..." the other party said and hung up the phone.

This was already within Lu Jingxing's expectations, but he still sent the other party a message: "Are you sure you don't want to deal with it?"

The other party quickly sent a message back: "I don't have money now, I can't handle it..."

"What about your money? It's almost ten thousand yuan in total." Lu Jingxing said patiently.

"It's used up..." the other party sent a message immediately.

"Then what are you going to do?"

After waiting for a long time, the other party did not reply to the message. Lu Jingxing called again, but the phone was turned off.

It seems that it is impossible to ask the other party to pay back the money on their own initiative.

Tens of thousands of dollars is not a big deal for him now, but Lu Jingxing is not going to tolerate this kind of behavior of this boy. He can come here to cheat thousands or tens of thousands, so will he also cheat the money of those old grandfathers and grandmothers selling vegetables?

He tolerated him this time, but he was almost certain that he would use the same method to cheat other stores next time.

So, he thought about it and called Officer Hu.

Officer Hu answered the call quickly as usual.

After Lu Jingxing exchanged a few pleasantries with him, he went straight to the point and briefly explained the situation to Officer Hu.

It was the first time that Officer Hu heard of such a scam: "This guy is quite courageous. Send me your phone number and WeChat, and I will check. I can file a case for this amount..."

After hearing this, Lu Jingxing quickly said, "Okay, fine. I'll send you the pictures, his phone number and WeChat. Do we still need to go to the institute?"

Officer Hu nodded: "Come over here, we need to register here, I will tell you and process it as soon as possible..."

"Okay, then I'll come over..." Lu Jingxing replied immediately.

After they hung up the phone, Lu Jingxing called Zilin and Dandan over: "You two come with me to the police station..." They knew the specific situation better.

Zilin and Dandan looked at each other with joy on their faces: "Brother Lu, is there any hope of getting her back?"

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly: "Now we live in a society ruled by law, the law is strict, he will definitely not be able to escape..."

"That's great..." the two said happily.

The three of them went to the police station together. Officer Hu saw Lu Jingxing coming and greeted him with a smile: "No need to mobilize so many people, just tell us. We have found the person. He ran to Gang City. After you take the statement, we will contact him..."
