start with a pet store

Chapter 951 The first official date

Chapter 951 First Official Date

“Okay, okay, come on, let’s make a pinky promise…” Although Miss Lin is not small in stature, she acts like a child.

Lu Jingxing drank more and talked more. He treated her like Lu Xi and made a promise with her very seriously.

After she left contentedly, her childhood friend came in after seeing off the last wave of guests and patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, go sit in my office for a while, and we can have a good chat..."

Lu Jingxing turned around and looked at Xiaopang with some embarrassment.

The childhood friend then remembered that he had a brother here: "Little brother, can you drive?"

Xiaopang nodded.

"Or, you can drive the car back and I will take him back later. You don't have to wait here. Of course, if you want to play here for a while, that's fine. I'm not trying to drive you away." My childhood friend laughed.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go first and leave the car to Brother Lu. I'll just take the subway in front." Xiaopang said with a smile.

"That's fine too. Um, Xiao Si..." He shouted outside, and immediately a boy of about seventeen or eighteen ran in: "Gui Ge..."

"Please help me take this little brother to the subway station." He took a set of keys from the shelf by the door and threw them to the boy named Xiao Si.

"No need, I can walk there by myself." Xiaopang waved his hand quickly.

"It's okay. He's off work anyway. Xiao Si, just go home after you send him off. It's time to get off work." The childhood friend said to Xiao Si.

"Okay..." Xiao Si immediately pulled Xiao Pang along and left with a smile: "Let's go, let's go before he changes his mind. I have to work overtime tonight, hehe, I can even take you home..."

From afar, I could hear Xiao Si's delighted laughter.

The childhood friend smiled and shook his head: "This little brat..."

Lu Jingxing smiled and walked with him to the office.

When Xiaofeng saw that all the guests had left, he secretly put out the piece of paper and ran happily into the office with it.

"Uncle Xiaoxing, look, I brought the paper." Xiaofeng ran and jumped towards Lu Jingxing.

"Oh, really? Come on, let Uncle Xiaoxing see if our Xiaofeng has taken good care of the paper?" Lu Jingxing picked up Xiaofeng again and rubbed his face with his chin.

Xiaofeng giggled and hid everywhere. He was most afraid that his father would prick him with his beard.

"You, get married and have kids soon, since you like kids so much..." his childhood friend teased him with a smile.

"I'm not in a hurry. My younger brother and sister are only a little older than Xiaofeng. I'm not that addicted to taking care of children for the time being. Haha..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

They were laughing and making noises. The piece of paper was jumping anxiously, jumping from left to right, and wagging its short tail non-stop: "Woof woof..."

There was some surprise in Lu Jingxing's eyes: "Wow, Xiaofeng is amazing, it's been such a short time since we last met, and the piece of paper has become a whole circle."

"How can it not be fat? No matter what it eats, it always thinks of giving it a bite. The problem is that this little thing is also weird. It eats whatever Xiaofeng gives it, but it won't eat what we give it." The childhood friend took a cigarette and sniffed it, but ultimately didn't light it.

"Uncle Xiaoxing, you don't know, Paper is very well behaved. When we give it food, it has to be in its bowl before it eats. Others give it food outside, but it won't eat at all." Xiaofeng said in a baby voice.

"Really? What a good kid you are..." Lu Jingxing reached out and touched the pieces of paper that were flying around him.

The little guy obviously recognized him and shook his head even more happily.

"That's true. It has a good point about it. No matter who gives it food, it will refuse to eat it unless it's in its bowl, even if it's its favorite chicken breast." said my childhood friend.

"That's why it became like that. It was probably because it didn't eat outside, so it was hungry..." Lu Jingxing nodded.

Xiaofeng soon lost interest in the adults' topic and jumped down and ran away with the paper.

Lu Jingxing looked at his childhood friend's office and asked, "How's business?"

The childhood friend nodded and said, "It's okay, but this place is still a little small. I'm negotiating with several insurance companies, and an acquaintance introduced me to this place. Everyone recognizes my technology, but now they feel that this place is not big enough, and the signboard is not grand enough. Alas, I'm afraid it will fail." After saying that, he sighed slightly.

"Oh, are you all cooperating with insurance companies?" Lu Jingxing knew nothing about this industry.

"Yes, we make a living by cooperating with insurance companies and bidding for projects from State Grid and other organizations a few times a year." My childhood friend smiled.

"That's fine. If the place is not big, just expand it. I think this land is originally yours, right?" Lu Jingxing said.

"There is a place, but the expansion will cost a lot of money. I can't come up with the money now, so I can only wait until next year. When the money from these units arrives at the end of this year, we can start construction. I have almost completed all the procedures." The childhood friend said as he took out the documents from the drawer: "With the status of my father, the old village chief, it is relatively easy to handle these things."

Lu Jingxing couldn't help but step forward and say, "Now that it's approved, we have to start working on it. The policy changes every year, who knows what will happen next year."

His childhood friend shook his head helplessly: "I want to, but even if I take out a loan, it will take time. Besides, my house is under my wife's name. I asked her to take out a loan, but she refused. She said she would rather live like this than take any risks. I can't persuade her. There's nothing I can do." He sighed softly.

Then he smiled again: "Hey, don't just talk about me, let's talk about you, are you still dating that little girlfriend?"

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly: "I am not like that, we are still dating. She is still in school, she is only a freshman, and there is a long way to go. You are the best, the baby is already this big."

"Haha, that's why you said you're not envious. It's because you're not addicted to taking care of children." My childhood friend laughed.

Lu Jingxing also laughed, then thought for a moment and said, "How much does it cost for you to do this expansion? How much do you need?"

The childhood friend was stunned, paused for a moment, stretched out his hand and raised it: "Actually, it's not a lot, about fifty or so will be enough to start..."

"Can we start with just fifty?" Lu Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"I'm short of about fifty yuan in starting capital. I have almost thirty yuan myself, and I'll be able to get some back by the end of the year, so I can take over." said my childhood friend hesitantly.

"I'll invest for you, whether it's a loan or an investment, it's up to you. I can still give you 50, but I don't have more. Mainly, I'm planning to open a new store in Gangcheng. Preliminary estimates may require hundreds of dollars. However, other people have invested in mine, so it's not that urgent." Lu Jingxing made a rough estimate and said proactively.

The childhood friend obviously hadn't reacted yet and looked at him in confusion: "Ah? Are you serious?"

Lu Jingxing sneered: "I'm not drunk, don't worry, I'm serious." "This... you're not afraid of me..."

"What are you afraid of? How about this? I'll take part in the investment. You can calculate it yourself and see how to get the most appropriate investment. It would be stressful if I said I'd lend it to you..." Lu Jingxing is not a sucker, but this is someone he has played with since childhood.

When he was a child, he was not very tall, and whenever older kids bullied him, it was his childhood friend who rushed in front of him to protect him. He will always remember this kindness.

He might still be hesitant about others, but for his childhood friend, who is like his own brother, he doesn't want to think about it at all. Besides, 500,000 is really not a big deal for him.

My childhood friend's eyes lit up instantly: "I never thought of borrowing money from you. You have two brothers and sisters now, and I didn't think your business was that good. I've always felt uneasy that I couldn't help you."

"Tsk, you look down on me. I am at least a boss now, haha..." Lu Jingxing laughed.

"Sure, kid, I really underestimated you. Well, I feel relieved to hear you say that. In that case, I will obey your command. I will send you the plan tomorrow and start work right away." The childhood friend smiled happily.

"Look at how you're blinded by money. Oh, I can't stand that, I can't stand that..." Lu Jingxing laughed.

"Come on, I'll take you for a walk outside. It's rare for a busy man like you to come here. Take advantage of your free time today to take a look and learn about your future industry..." The childhood friend said as he pulled Lu Jingxing up.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Just say it's okay. Besides, it's late at night, what are you seeing?" Lu Jingxing was dragged up unwillingly by his childhood friend.

"I guarantee you'll be able to see it. Let's go, let's just treat it as digestion." My childhood friend couldn't wait any longer.

Lu Jingxing followed reluctantly, and the two of them walked outside the auto repair shop together.

When my childhood friend came out, he turned on all the lights outside, then stood in front of an open space, pointed ahead and said, "Look, how about this spot?"

Lu Jingxing was half sobered up by the wind: "You mean, this whole area is yours?"

My childhood friend nodded and said, "Yes, I have signed a contract with Murakami. I have rented this area and pay the rent annually. I have already paid for two years. The contract is for thirty years." He said with a smile, his face full of pride.

"Yes, this place is indeed good." Lu Jingxing couldn't help but nodded.

Although his location is a bit far from the city center, the transportation is very convenient and the flow of people is not small. It is indeed a good place. Moreover, looking at the enclosed area, it is at least one or two acres of land. Lu Jingxing couldn't help but nodded again.

"To be honest with you, I have had my eye on this place for a long time. I started applying for it last year, but only got it two months ago. Now it's getting better and better. I was really afraid that if it took too long I wouldn't be able to keep the lease. Hey, brother, you've really helped me a lot." The childhood friend exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, let's not talk too much between us. Just tell me if you have something to say..." Lu Jingxing talked more than usual because he was drunk.

The two chatted for a long time, and the childhood friend kept saying that he would personally take him home, but Lu Jingxing was stumped. Both of them had drunk alcohol, and neither of them was in a good mood. In the end, he strongly requested to call a designated driver to go home.

After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Lu Jingxing couldn't fall asleep for a long time. It turned out that being able to help people around him was such a happy thing. He had never thought that making money had so many benefits before. Today, from the beginning of hearing his childhood friend's little complaints to his happy face, Lu Jingxing was not only happy himself, but also happy for his childhood friend.

He secretly decided: "I have to make money in the future. Not only should I save more stray animals, but I should also work hard and make more money..."

I was thinking about this and didn't know when I fell asleep.

The next day, when he came to the store, just after the meeting, his childhood friend sent him a message: "I've sent the plan to your email, take a look, and don't rush to reply. If what I said last night was drunken, just ignore it, it's okay."

Lu Jingxing looked at the message and laughed: "This guy must have struggled for a long time before sending this message."

He didn't even look at the plan and replied directly: "Send me the account number. I have an operation coming up and will be on stage soon. I'm afraid I won't remember it later."

"It's okay, you go on stage first and we'll talk about it after we look at the plan." He replied to the message immediately.

"What's going on? Stop nagging and send me the account..." Lu Jingxing replied immediately.

About a minute later, my childhood friend sent me an account number and called me again to confirm: "Have you thought it over? Although I think I won't let you lose money, this investment always has risks. Otherwise, you can lend it to me and pay the interest..."

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Check it out. I've transferred it." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Fuck, you guy, okay, I'll remember this favor." said my childhood friend.

The two chatted for a few minutes and then hung up the phone.

Lu Jingxing also entered the operating room immediately.

Xiao Sun is on holiday today, so he took his girlfriend Xiao Xin to a reptile exhibition that was being held these days.

The two were very excited along the way. This was their first official date, and they went to Xiao Sun's favorite reptile exhibition. He kept telling Xiao Xin about reptiles along the way, which aroused the interest of Xiao Xin, who had no interest in reptiles.

Finally arriving at the entrance of the exhibition hall, they bought tickets and followed the crowd inside.

Today is Saturday and there are quite a lot of people. The two checked their tickets and walked towards the hall chatting and laughing.

This exhibition was a little different from what Xiao Sun had imagined.

There are many children. As soon as you enter the door, you can see a large sand pool, which is surrounded by children of all ages. Adults stand on the outer circle and watch the children play.

Xiao Sun pulled Xiao Xin in and squeezed in.

The sand pool was filled with chameleon sand lizards and other sand lizards, many of which had burrowed into the sand. The children could catch them and play with them at will. Xiao Sun was shocked to see this scene. He pulled Xiao Xin further in and was even more surprised to find that almost every squatting child held a little sand lizard in their hands. The little guys were listless in the children's hands, and each one was extremely thin.

There are even some younger children who don't know how to control their strength and have been crushed to death by them.

He couldn't help but frowned tightly.

Xiao Xin also noticed his abnormality, and he pulled her hand obviously harder.

Xiao Xin asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Sun said angrily, "Many of these are protected animals. How could the organizers be so irresponsible and allow these kids to play with them like this? Look how skinny they are. Some have even died from playing with them."
