start with a pet store

Chapter 924 You Have to Come in Person

Apparently, the blue shirt was brought out by this person.

Song Yuan quickly stood up: "Brother Chen, it's okay, I'm sorry, I said I would treat you, but it turned out like this..."

The man he called Brother Chen patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and left.

Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei also stood up. The three of them looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

This kind of villain must be punished and not indulged.

When they came out, the cashier girl gave them a thumbs up with a smile on her face.

The three of them laughed and walked out of the store together.

Arriving in front of the car, Song Yuan blocked the door of Lu Jingxing's cab and said, "How about we find a place to have another drink? I haven't finished eating yet and was interrupted by this guy. I didn't even treat him..."

Yang Pei laughed: "It's not impossible, I don't think I'm full..."

They both looked at Lu Jingxing at the same time.

Lu Jingxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's the matter? You can't sleep tonight if you don't invite this guest, right?"

Song Yuan also laughed: "You know what, maybe I really can't sleep, so what, let's go?"

"But isn't it too early to go out for a midnight snack now?" Lu Jingxing raised his hand and looked at the time.

"Never mind. By the way, where did Uncle Yang's shop move to? Why don't we go to Uncle Yang's place to have a look? The taste of his food can be compared with the roasted lamb in XJ. I've been craving for that when I was in XJ..." Song Yuan opened the car door and prepared to get in.

Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei looked at each other: "This car can't be driven. We've all been drinking..."

"Oh, yes, let's call a designated driver..." Song Yuan got out of the car.

"Why go through so much trouble? Uncle Yang's shop is not far ahead. We can just walk there and park the car here..." Yang Pei said, pointing ahead.

"Have you been there?" Lu Jingxing asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I went there by accident. I was shopping with my daughter Yinzi that day and happened to run into Uncle Yang who was unloading goods. He told us that his store was right there..." Yang Pei led the two of them forward.

Lu Jingxing closed the car door and trotted after him.

"What's the matter? You haven't been there in the past month when I was away? Brother Lu, you haven't been there once?" Song Yuan said with some disbelief.

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "No, we have never met... Yang, give Xiangyu a call, he should be off work by now, ask him to come over..."

"I sent him a message, and he said he had something else to do and would come over when he was done. We sent him the location when we arrived..." Yang Pei turned around and said.

The few of them chatted casually and soon arrived at Uncle Yang's new store.

Uncle Yang saw a few people from a distance, but he was not sure if it was them. Until he got closer and confirmed it was them, he was so happy that every wrinkle on his face was filled with joy.

"Uncle Yang..." the three of them shouted with a smile.

"Hey, you are a rare guest, please come in, please come in..." Uncle Yang put down the work in his hands and walked forward to greet them.

"We are not rare guests at all. You didn't tell us when the business opened. We should give you a flower basket..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"No, no, we just opened as soon as we were ready. I'm happy that you can come today. Um, old lady, look who's here..." Uncle Yang was more enthusiastic towards them than other guests. He liked these kids for no reason. Seeing them was like seeing his own children. Although he was working with his son now, he was just happy to see them.

Aunt Yu came out and couldn't help but mutter, "That little girl Xiaoling hasn't come back yet?"

"Aunt, she went to school and hasn't had her holiday yet..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Oh, yes, I don't have a daughter, but my boy gave birth to two little boys for me. So, I really love that little girl..." Aunt Yang led them to the table and said with a smile.

Yang Pei chuckled: "It's a pity that she is already taken, otherwise, you might want her to be your wife..."

"I do want to, but I can't. I only have one child, I'm already a father, and my grandchildren are too young..." Aunt Yu seemed to take it seriously and said with some sadness.

Several people burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Song Yuan went over to order food, while Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei sat down and waited for Liao Xiangyu.

When the dishes were served, Liao Xiangyu also rushed over.

Later, Lu Jingxing stopped drinking, but in the end, he still asked a designated driver to drive the car back. As the saying goes, don't drink and drive, and don't drive after drinking. Lu Jingxing is a law-abiding citizen.

The next day, he came to the store very early.

The owner of the cat that had its full mouth teeth extracted a few days ago called early in the morning to ask if the little guy could be discharged from the hospital today.

Lu Jingxing was in a daze for a moment before he remembered this: "Well, I'll go to the store to check on its condition later. It should be ready to be discharged from the hospital..."

"Okay, see you in the store later, Dr. Lu..." the owner replied.

Lu Jingxing thought it was funny. It was just a cat being discharged from the hospital. Why did it have to meet him?

However, he still hurried out the door and got to the store as quickly as possible.

There are quite a few little ones undergoing surgery these days, and the entire observation room is full.

After reading the records, Lu Jingxing pointed out the animals one by one to the staff in the observation room: "This one, this one, and these few, you can call their owners, they can all be discharged from the hospital..."

The staff in the observation room recorded them one by one.

"Doctor Lu, can my little Mi be discharged from the hospital now?" Lu Jingxing had just finished talking to his employees when a woman in a red dress came in. She was the owner of the little guy who had undergone a full-mouth tooth extraction two days ago.

Lu Jingxing smiled his signature smile: "It's OK. It has recovered very well. You can go and take it away after completing the formalities. I will give you a discharge certificate. Then, I will send you a message on WeChat later about what you should pay attention to in the future..."

"Oh, okay, can it eat when it goes back? Can it only eat liquid food?" The owner was very happy to hear that the dog could be discharged from the hospital.

"No, it may be a little uncomfortable for a while, but after that, it can eat cat food normally. As long as you don't give it bones or something, it can eat normally..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile. "Oh, that's good..." The owner walked to the cage, and the little guy excitedly shook the cage.

"Look, how strong it is. It won't feel any pain anymore..." Lu Jingxing stroked the little guy for a while before opening the cage.

The little guy rubbed against him gratefully before going to cuddle with his owner.

After completing the formalities, the store employees gradually came in.

The decoration of the cat cafe over there has been completed. Recently, all the little guys have been locked up in the cat cafe, and there are quite a lot of them.

We plan to move all the little ones over today so that we can renovate the cat cafe.

So, after Lu Jingxing finished his store inspection, he came to the cat cafe.

Xiaopang and Jian, together with several employees from the second store and two employees from the cat cafe, were doing the cleaning work.

Although a notice had been posted outside the store, several customers still came directly.

"What's this for? Isn't this place closed?" a customer asked in confusion.

Xiaopang pointed to the notice at the door and said, "Our second store has expanded. Our boss feels that the space here is a bit too small, so we moved everything to the second store. You can go directly to our second store, it's not far from here..."

"I know the location, but what about my recharge?" said the customer, and several others nodded.

"We are a chain store, the amount you recharge is valid there as well..." Lu Jingxing came over from behind and explained with a smile.

"Doctor Lu..." The customer greeted Lu Jingxing with a smile: "Everything is fine here, why do you want to move? I haven't been home for a month and you're moving now. I'm not used to it..."

"I'm sorry, mainly because I think the place here is too small. Let's go over there and take a look. I promise you won't be disappointed..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"I can prove this. I passed by and took a look yesterday. It is indeed much more spacious than here, and the environment is also very good." At this time, a customer in the crowd said.

"Don't be a shill, haha..." Everyone laughed when they saw him say this at such a timely moment.

The man also laughed: "Doctor Lu, they said I was a shill, don't you have to give me a red envelope or something..."

Everyone laughed again.

It's quite harmonious.

Because all the cats had to be transported over, unexpectedly, the customers who had just questioned us actually helped to move the goods.

Because Lu Jingxing had a medical consultation, he didn't stay in the cat cafe for long and went back to the office.

There were surgeries after surgeries in the morning, so he just ate a few mouthfuls of food to get by. He was busy until almost five o'clock before he left the operating room.

Today's operations were really tiring.

He forgot to take his cell phone when he entered the operating room. When he came out, he saw several missed calls on his phone.

It was only after his aunt called him three times that he remembered that today was Friday and he had to go see Xiaoxi and Xiaochen. He had been quite busy recently, but he really hadn't paid much attention to his younger siblings, which was really wrong.

No matter what happens tonight, you have to put it aside and go to my aunt's house.

There were two more calls from Xi Wenxin, one just a few minutes ago.

After thinking for a while, he called his aunt back first: "Aunt, I was just in surgery and forgot to bring my phone into the operating room."

"It's okay, it's okay. I saw that you would answer the phone normally, so I was worried that something happened to you if you didn't answer. Later, I asked the people in the store and they said you were in surgery, so I felt relieved. Well, are you done with your work? Can you come back for dinner? Xiaochen and Xiaoxi both said they missed you..." There was pity in my aunt's tone.

"I'll be there soon. If you need anything, I'll buy it for you," said Lu Jingxing.

"No need, we have everything at home, just come back when you're done with your work..." My aunt said happily when she heard him say he would come back for dinner.

"Okay, I'll be home in about an hour..." He looked at the time and it was almost time to get off work.

"Okay, no rush. I'll go pick up Xiaochen and Xiaoxi now and wait for you to eat." After saying that, my aunt hung up the phone.

Lu Jingxing gave money to his aunt and uncle every month. Although they always said they didn't want it, Lu Jingxing still transferred the money to their cards on time every month.

He knew how tiring it was to take care of two children. If his aunt and uncle were not afraid that he would be too tired, no one else would do such a strenuous and thankless job.

He is very grateful to his aunt and uncle.

After talking to his aunt, he was about to call Xi Wenxin back when his phone rang. After just one ring, Lu Jingxing answered it: "That's quick. What were you doing just now? I called several times but no one answered?" Xi Wenxin asked directly.

"Oh, I just got off the operating table after a day of surgery. I forgot my cell phone in the office. I saw you made a few calls and was about to call back. What important news?" Lu Jingxing knew that Xi Wenxin was not an impatient person. He must have encountered some problems with the consecutive calls.

"You have really encountered a problem. I'm afraid you have to come in person to solve it." Xi Wenxin said.

"I'm going to your place? What's the matter?" Lu Jingxing was very surprised. He hadn't been out of Long'an for a long time. The last time seemed to be when he sent Ji Ling to school, and it had been more than ten months.

"I came across a pet shop here. The owner couldn't run the shop anymore, so there are more than a dozen cats locked up in the shop. All of them are so hungry that they are deformed. I only discovered this in the past two days. I bought some cat food and feed them a little every day, but this is not a long-term solution. I contacted the owner today, and he said that he couldn't run the shop anymore. There are nearly 20 cats in the shop, and he doesn't have time to deal with them one by one, so now he can only lock them up. Let me tell you, the breeds of those cats should be pretty good. I don't have the ability to take them in, and I don't understand these things. But I can't bear to see those little guys suffer, so, can you come over?" Xi Wenxin spoke calmly and explained the matter clearly in just a few words.

"Do you want me to help you collect it?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"I have to. If you don't take them in, those little guys will have no way out. They're so hungry that their bones are just skin and bones. The boss said he doesn't have the ability to handle it. A lot of people asked, but no one really said they could take over..." Influenced by Lu Jingxing, Xi Wenxin can't bear to see the little guys suffer. He even carries some cat and dog food with him when he goes out.

Lu Jingxing didn't know this about him. If he knew, he probably wouldn't believe it.

Seeing that Lu Jingxing didn't say anything, Xi Wenxin became anxious: "I'll reimburse your travel expenses. Please make some time as soon as possible. I'll make an appointment with my boss in advance..."

"I care about that little bit of travel expenses. Okay, I'll go to my aunt's house for dinner tonight and arrange the things in the store. It happens that all the major surgeries in the past few days have been completed today, so I'll come tomorrow. It happens that tomorrow is Saturday, and I have no plans. I just can't accompany Xiaochen and Xiaoxi..." Lu Jingxing naturally knew that for those kittens, being rescued one day earlier might mean pulling a life back from the brink of death. Such things cannot be delayed.

"That's great. I'll make an appointment with the boss tonight. How are you coming? Driving or flying? If you want a plane, I'll buy you a ticket..." Xi Wenxin was hoping that Lu Jingxing would arrive tonight.

"Well, I'll ask Song Yuan if he has anything to do these two days, or I can come with him. It will be more convenient to drive, and I can bring some cat food and medicine..." Lu Jingxing said after thinking for a while.
