start with a pet store

Chapter 928 Business is booming
All this seemed a little sudden, but in fact Lu Jingxing had already made a plan in mind, and his plan was exactly what Xi Wenxin wanted.

The only thing he wanted was to ask Xi Wenxin to give up his computer work, which was his specialty, and open a pet shop. Before hearing Xi Wenxin's words, Lu Jingxing had planned to hire all the staff in the shop. Now that Xi Wenxin said this, he felt more relieved.

Song Yuan didn't have many suggestions or opinions, he just nodded to whatever Lu Jingxing and the others said.

"Okay, let's go back and have a rest. We'll wait for the contract signing in the afternoon. Oh, by the way, we may have to hire someone to take care of the thirty or so cats first. Since we are opening a store, there is no need to bring them back to Long'an. We can arrange someone to take care of them here..." Lu Jingxing said after thinking for a while.

"I'll take you home first, and then I'll go back to the company and tell my leader about the situation. Once it's confirmed, I can make arrangements then..." Xi Wenxin also stood up.

"I've really thought it through. If I quit, there will be no way out..." Lu Jingxing said again.

"As long as you are sure, I don't need to retreat." Xi Wenxin said with certainty. Although he was not sure when he had the idea of ​​opening a pet shop, now that he had the conditions, he naturally no longer hesitated.

Lu Jingxing smiled and patted his shoulder: "Haha, I've led you astray..."

"Are there not enough people who have been led astray by you?" Song Yuan also laughed.

Several people stood up together and walked towards Xiwen's new home with a smile.

As soon as I entered the door, Xi Wenxin's Taxue and Hongmei came to greet me.

"Wow, has Taxue grown so big?" Xi Wenxin didn't see Taxue the last time he went to Long'an Song Yuan, but he was with Song Yuan when he first rescued Taxue. At that time, the little guy was only one or two months old. Now it weighs at least seven or eight kilograms. If I didn't remember what it looked like, I really wouldn't be able to recognize it.

"It's a big eater, especially after eating eggs. It eats and sleeps every day. It's getting fatter. I'm wondering whether I should control it, otherwise it will be troublesome to lose weight later." Xi Wenxin said with a smile while changing his shoes.

"Hongmei has recovered quite well. You can't even tell she was the same as before." Lu Jingxing also said with a smile.

"Woof woof..." Hongmei kept wagging her tail and circling around Lu Jingxing.

"Hongmei, you remember me..." Lu Jingxing squatted down, stroked Hongmei's head, and said happily.

"Then I must remember you...haha, right, Hongmei..." Xi Wenxin also touched Hongmei's head.

Hongmei immediately called out twice more, and her voice was controlled very well so that the family could hear it but not enough to disturb others.

Xi Wenxin's house was also very clean. He pointed to the room and said, "This is a two-bedroom house. You can sleep in both rooms. Go and take a nap."

Lu Jingxing took a short nap in the car, but Song Yuan hadn't slept the whole night. He just walked into a room and fell asleep.

Before going to bed, Lu Jingxing called Ji Ling and told her about his plan. Unexpectedly, she also agreed: "If the location is suitable, this is really not possible, hire someone to drive it first, and you can command it remotely. Besides, with Xi Wenxin joining, I think it's no problem."

Ji Ling's answer was within Lu Jingxing's expectations. Ji Ling supported him in whatever he did. Her support made Lu Jingxing feel better. Upon learning that they came overnight, Ji Ling didn't talk to him much and they hung up the phone soon.

Lu Jingxing also took the time to have a nap.

The two of them didn't eat lunch at noon, and when Xi Wenxin came back, they were sleeping soundly.

The boss over there said that he had already made an appointment with the landlord and he would come around three o'clock.

Xi Wenxin looked at the time. He had no choice but to wake the two of them up. It would soon be three o'clock, and they would have to feed those dozens of cats, which would also take time.

Lu Jingxing woke up immediately after hearing the noise, raised his hand to check the time, and looked at Xi Wenxin in confusion: "What happened?"

"I was just about to call you. The boss said the landlord will come around three o'clock. I thought we should sign the contract with the boss first. In that case, should we arrive earlier?" Xi Wenxin pointed to his watch.

"Uh, okay, I'll be there soon..." Lu Jingxing immediately turned over.

He glanced at Song Yuan who was sleeping soundly and said, "Let him continue sleeping. We can just go over there..."

The two of them packed up and went out. Although the place was not far, they still drove there because they needed to bring cat food and other things.

When the cats in the store saw the two of them coming in, they all came over and meowed non-stop. Xi Wenxin was surprisingly very skilled in dealing with the little guys. Lu Jingxing couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that it wasn't you who trained Taxue and Hongmei, but they who trained you..."

Xi Wenxin chuckled: "I am really good at taking care of small animals now, as if I am destined to do this job."

Lu Jingxing chuckled: "I hope you always have this mentality..."

"Don't worry, I really like you. Even if I say "what if" in the future, what if we can't do it anymore, I will accept it." Xi Wenxin said.

Lu Jingxing smiled: "How could it be impossible to do it? With my support behind you, this situation will never happen."

"Hehe, I won't say what if. I know there will be no problem. I believe you, and you have to believe me too." Xi Wenxin said.

Lu Jingxing patted his shoulder. He had no choice at the beginning, but Xi Wenxin had a choice. Lu Jingxing believed that he really liked this line of work, at least he was very interested in it now.

It's rare to be able to do something you love.

He was willing to lend a helping hand, to help him and himself.

While the two were busy, the boss came in with the landlord.

"Mr. Xi, we're here..." The boss shouted as soon as they arrived at the door.

Lu Jingxing and Xi Wenxin looked up at the door, stood up, and clapped their hands: "We are..."

The two of them went out to greet them.

The landlord turned out to be a very young woman. She walked in and frowned: "Ah, why is this place like this?"

The boss scratched his head embarrassedly: "Well, I haven't taken care of it recently, so..."

"How can you just ignore this, you..." said the landlord unhappily.

"From now on, it will be under our management. We will take good care of it..." Lu Jingxing smiled and came out to smooth things over. The landlord looked at Lu Jingxing and Xi Wenxin: "Are you two going to take over?"

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, we want to take over. Our main purpose is to give these little guys a home..." He pointed at the cats that were circling around him.

"Oh, why are they like this? I've seen them before. Boss, your girlfriend used to take good care of them. Oh..." She sighed softly and wanted to touch the little guys, but felt a little disgusted.

"Okay, then, why don't we sign the contract first. After you sign it, we can sign it with the boss. Then, we can prepare for the next step." Lu Jingxing said with a chuckle.

"Okay, okay, okay. I also know that they didn't make much money. When they were renovating the house, it was the decoration team I introduced, so I have a rough idea of ​​how much money it spent. He really lost money, so I won't deduct his money. I will just sign with you according to today's date..." The landlord was a straightforward person and didn't make things difficult for others.

The boss smiled and bowed to her: "Thank you so much, Mr. Lu, Mr. Xi, our landlord is really good. He helped me find a decorator and negotiated the price for me. But, I really can't do anything. I'm not familiar with this. I can hire someone to do it, and there will be no problem in maintaining this store, but my mind is not on this, so..."

Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded: "I understand, thank you beautiful, then let's sign? Do you have the contract with you? Or take mine?"

He also did some preparatory work. Before coming, he went to the copy shop next door and had a contract printed out. Ji Ling made it and sent it to him at noon, which included a rental contract and a transfer contract.

The contract was made very professionally, which made Lu Jingxing believe once again that Ji Ling was really amazing.

But he didn't have time to praise her.

"Have you prepared a contract? That's great. I was also planning to take our original contract and print it out. Then sign it. I have something else to do later..." After wiping the sofa again and again, the landlord sat down at the corner.

Lu Jingxing and the others had actually already given the place a rough clean. Even though it wasn't that clean, it was still okay to sit on. However, some people did have obsessive-compulsive disorder, which they could understand.

The landlord had no objection, so Xi Wenxin immediately took out the contract and handed it to the landlord.

When Lu Jingxing said he was going out for a while, he was still wondering what he was going to do in a place where he was unfamiliar with. Unexpectedly, in less than a few minutes, he actually produced the contract.

The landlord took the contract, glanced at it, and nodded: "Okay, let's do this. The rent is still 10,000 per month, paid annually. In addition to the five months of rent that the original boss has left with me, you can pay me another 70,000. As for the deposit, it will remain the same as before. Do you think it's okay?"

Lu Jingxing nodded. He thought it was okay. Xi Wenxin was a little surprised: "Annual payment? Isn't it... quarterly payment?"

The landlord looked at the former boss and said, "We all pay annually, otherwise, it wouldn't be this price. You can ask around. Ten thousand is really cheap for such a large piece of land in my location."

Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "Okay, let's sign it as you said. We'll write a separate document about the deposit, and I'll give the money to the original boss. Is that okay?"

Xi Wenxin had never done business before, so he really didn't understand these things. When he heard Lu Jingxing say this, he chose to shut up.

The contract with the landlord was signed quickly.

The landlord was also a very straightforward person. After signing the contract and keeping it, Lu Jingxing directly transferred the rent to her, and then said to her: "We may still need to renovate, otherwise, can you send me the phone number of your renovation friend, and I will contact him when the time is right?"

"Okay, but let me be frank with you. You can contact the contractor yourself. Whether it's more expensive or cheaper is none of my business..." the landlord said with a smile. She readily sent him the contractor's phone number: "Just call him Fourth Brother. Say I introduced him to you. He will complete the work on time."

Lu Jingxing thanked him with a smile.

Before leaving, the landlord couldn't help but touch a cat that had been approaching her: "Is this cat for sale?"

"Of course..." Lu Jingxing could see that this little Napoleon was really good at dealing with things. He noticed that after the landlord sat down, the little guy slowly moved closer.

The other little guys would at most just watch from a distance, and the bolder ones might come over and rub against it, but they would just circle around each one, and none of them would be as persistent as it was, always circling around the landlord.

It seemed as if it had identified the landlord.

Originally, Lu Jingxing thought that the landlord didn't like cats, because from the time she came in until the contract was signed, she didn't see her take the initiative to touch the little guys, and she even looked a little disgusted. But she didn't expect that after the formalities were completed, she suddenly asked if the cats were for sale.

"How much is this little guy? I think he seems to like me very much..." She squatted down and pinched the little guy's ears.

"Have you ever had a cat before?" Lu Jingxing is not a person who just wants to sell cats. He wants to find owners who truly love these little guys.

"I have cats at home, one Persian and one blue gold. I brought them here based on fate. This little guy will be very beautiful if he gets fatter..." The landlord pinched the little guy's face with both hands, but the little guy didn't struggle at all and instead burrowed into her palms.

"You have a good eye. It will be very beautiful when it grows a little fatter..." Lu Jingxing smiled. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this little guy was smart.

"Well, give me a price... Oh, you haven't signed the contract yet. Well, I can't take it away today because I have something to go to. You can help me take care of it for two days and then tell me the price. It can't be too expensive. Please help me give it a bath and get the vaccines. I will come back to pick it up..." The landlord said without further ado.

"Okay, no problem..." Lu Jingxing felt very happy to meet such a reasonable landlord. He was really lucky.

The boss watched in dumbfounded as the two men worked together to finalize the deal.

Several people watched the landlord walk out.

The boss murmured, "How come it's so easy for you to do business? When we first came to buy a cat, we had to talk to the customer for a long time, until our mouths were dry, before we could sell it..."

Lu Jingxing laughed: "This is all about fate. It's not our ability. The little guy will find his master by himself..."

The boss scratched his head habitually again: "Yeah, that's true. Well, let's sign the contract. I have a plane to catch later."

Xi Wenxin quickly took out another contract: "We have also prepared the contract, please take a look..."

"I've prepared it too. Okay, let's do it according to yours..." The boss put away his briefcase and looked at the contract line by line. When he saw the price, he frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Then he signed his name at the end.

Lu Jingxing also signed with him. The two exchanged contracts and shook hands at the end.

The boss turned around and looked at the house, and said, "I wish you a prosperous business..."

Lu Jingxing and the other person whispered thank you and saw the person off with a smile.
