start with a pet store

Chapter 929 Lucky Run
Watching the boss walk away, Xi Wenxin sighed softly: "Is this the beginning?"

Lu Jingxing sneered: "Why, at this time, you won't regret it, right?"

"No, that won't happen. I've just submitted my resignation to the company. I won't leave any way out for myself. I'll move forward bravely..." Xi Wenxin rolled up his arms.

"Haha, it's correct..." Lu Jingxing patted his arm: "It's just that there may be no Saturdays and Sundays in the future..."

"Haha, I'm mentally prepared, I'm not afraid..." Xi Wenxin casually hugged a rag doll, and the little guy turned around and licked him continuously, which was considered a response.

"That's good. Come on, let's get started. First, call a few part-time workers to clean up. We have big things to do today. All these dirty things need to be washed. Then, recruit some people and get ready to work..." Lu Jingxing grabbed the Napoleon that the landlord had his eyes on.

He went to see the bathroom on purpose, and found that the supplies inside were quite complete, including several ovens. It seemed that the bathroom business here was quite good.

"Ding Dong" The two people who heard the door open turned around at the same time.

Song Yuan walked in with big strides: "Why didn't you call me?"

"You seem to be sleeping so soundly..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"So what's going on? Has the contract been signed?" Song Yuan didn't care and went straight to the bathroom.

"Everything has been signed. We've signed with the landlord and the original boss. Now this store is ours, but for now Lu has to pay for it. What should we do? How much do I have to pay?" Xi Wenxin also walked into the bathroom.

"Well, let's make the calculation and see how much you can offer. I've seen that there are only basic and small equipment here. Let's see how to plan. If we want to buy some machines, these will just be small amounts of money now." Lu Jingxing hasn't made a complete plan yet.

Xi Wenxin and Song Yuan both nodded. Everyone roughly knew how much money [Pet Love Home] had invested. Although it could not be compared with the old store, the new store also invested a lot. Anyway, if you really want to open one, the investment will not be small.

"Take a shower first, take a shower first, and we can talk about the rest slowly..." Lu Jingxing turned on the faucet and put the Napoleon in his hand under the faucet.

The little guy was not afraid of water at all. He stood there calmly when he saw the water and raised his head: "Oh, why are you so well behaved." Lu Jingxing was a little surprised by the little guy's performance. He originally wanted to do some comforting actions first, but he didn't expect the little guy to be so cooperative.

"It seems that it has been washed so many times that it doesn't dislike water at all..." Song Yuan also became interested and walked forward to help.

"I've taken a look at this store. Although it doesn't have a lot of equipment, the original owner seems to have put a lot of thought into the layout. So, it would be a pity if they close it..." Lu Jingxing said as he applied shower gel to Napoleon.

"I have made an appointment with the part-time workers, and they agreed to come later. There are four of them. Do you think they can just work for a few hours today?" Xi Wenxin asked, holding up his cell phone.

"The four of them should be enough. I checked them all. Five or six of them had some problems, but they were not big problems. Basically, they didn't eat enough during this period or had other minor problems. But they don't have much impact. We will give them some medicine and they will be fine in two days. Then, we will go back. You need to go back with me for a while. We will leave it here until the installation drawings are out, and then come over to discuss the installation matters with the decoration master." Lu Jingxing talked about his recent plans.

"What about them? Will they go back to Long'an with us?" Song Yuan asked.

"Or, it's no problem. We can find a place nearby to put them down and hire someone to take care of them, so that the little ones won't have to go back and forth all the time. It would be too tiring for them." Xi Wenxin said with some concern.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "I had the same idea. Let's put them here first. Xi, go and post the job post today and find someone to take care of them first. I'll do the interview." He was looking for someone who really seemed to like small animals and could take care of them every day.

"Okay, I will definitely take care of this. The hourly workers said they will be here in about half an hour. When they come, you can make the arrangements. I will go to the advertising store now." Xi Wenxin happily went out immediately after receiving the new instructions.

While they were talking, Lu Jingxing had already washed Napoleon once and was now preparing to wash him a second time.

"Let's go in and ask if anyone is there..." There was another ding-dong at the door, and then two people were heard talking: "Excuse me, is anyone here? Is this place still open?"

Lu Jingxing and Song Yuan looked at each other. No way, are there any business coming to them so soon?

Song Yuan immediately took Napoleon from him: "Let me do it, you go and receive the guests."

Lu Jingxing laughed and said to the outside: "Yes, wait a moment."

After washing his hands, he walked out immediately: "Hello..."

There were two young people, a man and a woman. When they saw Lu Jingxing, they seemed a little surprised: "Are you the boss?"

The woman stared at him: "Hey, why do you look familiar to me?"

This question made Lu Jingxing a little confused: "Really? It seems that I have a very common face. I just came here today..."

"Well, that's right, why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere..." Both of them were probably around 27 or 28 years old. The woman was wearing a white dress, with a little makeup on, and looked thoughtful, making people feel that she was a few years younger than her actual age.

"I said I just arrived today, so how could you have seen me? Ah, you just came today, so you are not the boss. Excuse me, is the boss here?" The man was wearing a sleeveless shirt and the tattoo on his arm was very eye-catching.

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly: "I am the boss. This store I bought today has not officially opened yet. I just bought it, and it will take a while before it can open."

"Oh oh..." The tattooed man responded with a little disappointment.

"Do you have any questions?" Lu Jingxing couldn't help but ask.

"It's no use talking to you now. You've just taken over the business. By the way, are you going to open a pet shop in the future?" asked the tattooed man.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, we still run a pet shop with a veterinarian, not just bathing like before..."

"Oh, I remember now. Are you the doctor named Lu...Lu something, who specializes in treating small animals, right..." the woman suddenly said loudly.

Now it was Lu Jingxing's turn to be surprised. Didn't he expect that he would be so famous? Coming to a big city so far away from Long'an, someone could actually recognize him. He said in disbelief: "My last name is indeed Lu, but..." He raised his eyes: "Are you talking about me?" "Did you open a pet hospital called [Chong Ai You Jia]? You also often post videos on the platform, and you often rescue stray animals, right?" The woman said excitedly.

After hearing such excited words, Song Yuan also came out: "Haha, that's probably it. Indeed, this is our Doctor Lu. He is quite famous in Long'an. But we didn't expect that you would know him, too?"

The tattooed man looked at his woman, frowning slightly, as if he didn't understand her.

The woman immediately shook her man's arm: "We are saved, we are saved..." She was so excited that she almost cried while speaking.

Lu Jingxing quickly tore off a few pieces of paper and handed them to her: "Please sit down and talk. I'll see how I can help you."

Although he was surprised, from what the woman said, he thought that their cat or dog named Benboer was sick and needed help.

The man was obviously surprised by the woman's words: "Didn't he just take over the store? Just watch the video on the platform and you will know?"

The woman sat down on the sofa, ignoring her man, and looked at Lu Jingxing and said, "My son Benbo is a gray Teddy bear, almost fifteen years old. We came here today with the attitude of giving it a try, because we have already run around the streets and alleys and visited many stores here, but when others heard that he was fifteen years old, they all shook their heads, but..." The woman wiped away her tears.

The man sat down next to her and said, "She has been raising Benbo since we were in junior high school. Now that he is like that, we can't bear not to treat him."

Influenced by the woman, the man also took the initiative to speak.

Lu Jingxing and Song Yuan looked at each other and then asked, "What is its current situation?" The two talked for a long time but didn't get to the point.

"Oh, I have its photos and examination reports. It has a large tumor. It's not a big deal and can be removed. But it's too old and all hospitals are unwilling to perform the operation. My request is that no matter how much money it costs, I must ensure its safety..." The woman immediately took out the information from her bag.

The photo shows a small gray Teddy dog. With the naked eye, it can be seen that there is a ball the size of an adult's fist growing on its belly. This is what the owner called a tumor.

"It wasn't very big at the beginning, and we took X-rays. The doctor suggested that we observe it first, but we didn't expect it to get bigger and bigger. Last week it was just a small ball, but it has grown big in the past few days. When we went to the hospital after it grew big, the doctors were even more afraid to perform the surgery." The woman pointed to another photo and showed it to Lu Jingxing.

By comparing the two photos, it is easy to see that the size of the two balls is as much as twice as big.

"It looks like it has cataracts?" Lu Jingxing said, pointing to one of the photos.

"Oh, yes, yes, it has. Its eyesight is very bad now. Can it be cured?" the woman immediately asked excitedly.

The man was probably thinking about the fact that Lu Jingxing had pointed out that the little guy had cataracts, and his originally nonchalant expression changed: "Doctor, can you perform this surgery on it?"

Lu Jingxing didn't say anything and took the other examination data handed over by the woman. They had already done a CT scan, and there was no doubt that it was a tumor, but they needed surgery. Obviously, the conditions here were not sufficient. But if they took this little guy named Benboer to Long'an, it would be a seven or eight hour drive, and the little guy might not be able to withstand it.

While he was thinking about this, the woman stared at him without blinking, afraid that he would give up like the other doctors.

What to do, should he have the surgery here or go back to Long'an? This is the most troubling issue for Lu Jingxing at the moment.

"How about it, Dr. Lu, are you sure?" The woman finally couldn't help it and asked softly.

Lu Jingxing finally realized how worried his master was because of his thoughts: "This..."

"As long as you are willing to undergo this operation, we will bear the risks. Even if, in the unlikely event, it cannot get off the operating table, I will accept it..." The woman said hurriedly, fearing that he would not undergo the operation.

Song Yuan was listening at the side and was a little stunned. He didn't expect Lu Jingxing to be so capable. He just heard the woman say that she had searched all the streets and alleys here but never had the operation done because she wanted the doctors to ensure the safety of the little one. How come now when it comes to Lu Jingxing, it becomes that as long as he is willing to have the operation, it's all fine?

Lu Jingxing was also stunned, and so was the tattooed man: "Wife, have you thought it through? Do you trust him so much?"

The woman nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I believe in Dr. Lu. As long as he is willing to take the case, he will definitely succeed. Dr. Lu, please don't feel any psychological burden. If something unexpected happens, I will never blame you..."

This time it was Lu Jingxing's turn to be moved. It was the first time he heard such words of affirmation. He felt warm in his heart. In this strange place, there were people who believed in him so much. How could he not be moved?

"It's not that I don't want to take the call. I'm just considering whether to have the surgery done here or return to Long'an. To be honest, if it were younger, I would suggest taking it to Long'an. After all, we have more complete equipment there and the success rate of the surgery is higher. However, it is so old now, and its illness cannot be delayed. The earlier it is done, the safer it will be..." said Lu Jingxing.

After hearing what he said, several people nodded in unison. These were indeed the truth.

"So what?" the woman asked.

"So, I decided to perform the surgery on it here. In this way, I haven't seen it so far. If you confirm to let me perform the surgery, then let's meet at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, at the same place..." Lu Jingxing was no longer vague this time and said it very affirmatively.

The woman nodded continuously: "Okay, we will definitely bring it here on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning..." She clapped her hands happily: "My family is so lucky that I can meet Dr. Lu here."

The man was also infected by his wife, and his face relaxed a little. He looked at Lu Jingxing and said, "Then we will be there on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Lu."

Lu Jingxing smiled politely: "You're welcome. The surgery can only be performed tomorrow because it must be fasted and deprived of water for more than eight hours before the surgery. So, after twelve o'clock tonight, remember, don't let it eat anything, not even water..."

"Okay, that's no problem..." the woman assured.

"Ding Dong" several people came in from the door: "Excuse me, does this place need cleaning?" The four of them were all wearing the same orange work clothes and looked at the people sitting on the sofa.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, please come in..."
