start with a pet store

Chapter 996 Fate is wonderful
"Yeah, so awesome, worthy of being my younger brother..." Lu Jingxing teased rarely.

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

After a while of noise, around nine o'clock, my uncle came back. Seeing Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling, he smiled and said hello: "Sorry, uncle is working overtime today. Have you eaten? I'll make you a midnight snack?"

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling stood up when they heard the door open, and called out "uncle-in-law" with a smile. When they heard what their uncle-in-law said, they turned around and smiled.

"We have eaten. Have you eaten? If not, I'll make you a bowl of noodles. You always cook for us." Lu Jingxing said as he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.

"I, I don't want to eat, Xiaojing, I don't want to eat, I just had a meal, really, are you hungry? If you are hungry, I will do it, I will do it..." The uncle-in-law changed his shoes and ran over quickly.

"We're not hungry. We've already had dinner. Okay, both of you don't have to run to the kitchen. I've cooked some mung bean porridge. Everyone have a bowl. It will be ready soon." Looking at the uncle and nephew who were being polite to each other, the aunt shook her head and said with a smile.

Lu Jingxing and his uncle-in-law both held an apron and laughed.

After drinking mung bean porridge and setting a departure date, Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling went home.

After returning home, Ji Ling started to make plans, determined to make this trip a happy one.

The next day was the once-a-month pet adoption day. Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling got up early in the morning. After learning that this time it would be held in Central Park, Ji Ling also wanted to go.

Ji Ling participated in this event on May Day. She heard from Lu Jingxing that the event was quite successful and the results were always good. Therefore, Ji Ling was particularly looking forward to today's event.

When the two arrived, many employees were already there. Seeing them, Qianqian greeted them.

Because Lu Jingxing is not the one who is primarily responsible for this matter now, he rarely comes to the scene and he doesn't know about this arrangement.

"Hey, why are Black Tiger and the General here too?" Lu Jingxing was very surprised to see Black Tiger and the General.

"Hi, Brother Lu..." Yang Pei jumped over from behind: "Why are you two here today?"

Yes, Yang Pei is now fully responsible for this matter.

"Ji Ling just wanted to come and take a look. I only found out after asking Xiang Yu that you moved the venue here today. However, it does look like there are quite a lot of people here..." Lu Jingxing looked at the people coming and going in Central Park, and their stall soon became lively.

"We've been here twice before. This time, we asked a friend to give us a 70% discount on the venue fee. So, no matter what the result is today, we can get the venue fee back." Yang Pei said as she put on her vest, looking a little excited.

"Why do I feel that you are so happy to be out on the scene?" Lu Jingxing said with a smile as he looked at Yang Pei's excited face.

"Haha, you're right. I'm now particularly looking forward to every adoption event. It's quite fun. Come on, you'll find out when you come in." After Yang Pei finished speaking, she threw a vest to Lu Jingxing and ran into the venue.

As for Ji Ling, he had already entered the scene on his own.

The Black Tiger and the General were like two Fuwa, one on each side, defending their own positions, which should be said to be the positions designated for them by Yang Pei.

Lu Jingxing put on his vest with a smile, and joined everyone in introducing the adoptive parents.

As Yang Pei said, time flies.

Because the cats and dogs that can come to the event are all selected by Yang Pei and others, so basically all of them are worth selling. Therefore, basically every time they are brought out, at least two-thirds will be adopted.

Yang Pei also came up with a hunger method, which is that each event would only last one morning, and there wouldn't be many cats and dogs. In this way, the next time there would be people who were not satisfied with the adoption last time who would come along.

For those who have successfully adopted a pet, Jian and Xiaopang will pay a timely return visit, and from time to time invite everyone to bring their adopted pets to walk on the catwalk. In this way, word spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and this event attracts more and more attention.

As soon as it was past twelve o'clock, Yang Pei ordered everyone to prepare to end the event.

Looking at the empty cages, Lu Jingxing was also surprised: "Today's harvest is quite good. Most of them have been cleared away?" He looked at Yang Pei.

"Now it has this effect almost every time. I tell you, it's really magical. As long as we say that the dogs are trained with the help of Black Tiger and the General, they will be very cute and many people will adopt them..." Yang Pei looked at the general who was still squatting at the door.

"What's so strange about this? They've been trained by them and can do the basic movements. And we don't have to worry about going to the toilet. It's so worry-free." Ji Ling said with a smile after hearing this.

"I also think this is the reason. The strange treasure a few days ago played with Black Tiger and the general for two days. Now it seems to be more lively and eats more." Yang Pei said with a smile.

Lu Jingxing happened to go see Qi Bao yesterday. He neither denied nor admitted this, because the General and Black Tiger played an indispensable role in Qi Bao's transformation, but he also made a contribution.

He took time out for two consecutive nights to have private conversations with Qibao, which helped to untie the knot in his heart.

Later, it could eat and drink happily.

"Has the owner of the treasure come to pick it up?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"He said he would come this afternoon. Anyway, he should be satisfied." Yang Pei said.

With the help of several people, they quickly cleaned up the place. After the final count, there were only two dogs and three cats left, which was a very good result.

In the later stage, Ji'an and Xiaopang's workload will increase greatly, but the burden on the store will be relatively reduced. This is a cycle.

On the way back, Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling were in one car, while Yang Pei and a few others took their tools in another car.

Normally, if you were walking back from the Central Square, you would just go through the city center, but today, for some reason, Lu Jingxing said to Ji Ling as soon as he got in the car, "There's not much to do today, let's take another route."

"I'm fine with it. Just go back and eat. I told Aunt Xie that I'd go back and eat." Ji Ling smiled and got in the car.

"Let me drive. I haven't touched the steering wheel for a long time..." Ji Ling said again after getting in the car.

"Come on, come on. There aren't many cars over there. You can try it." Lu Jingxing got out of the car with a smile and gave the driver's seat to Ji Ling.

The two of them chatted and laughed all the way as they walked towards the road Lu Jingxing mentioned.

There are not many cars here, just a large lawn on one side of the road and a construction site surrounded by a wall on the other. This is an old road, not very wide, with not many cars and even fewer people.

"Hey, Brother Lu, look, there's a dog..." Ji Ling braked suddenly and shouted.

Lu Jingxing also saw it. When he was about to shout, Ji Ling stopped about three meters away from the dog.

Ji Ling tilted her head and looked at him: "What should I do..."

"It looks like a stray dog. Let's go. There's a sanitation worker over there. Let's go ask him." Lu Jingxing said as he got out of the car. Ji Ling parked the car and got out as well.

In the distance, an older sanitation worker was sweeping the floor intermittently.

When Lu Jingxing got off the car, he took a pack of cigarettes from the car, walked over, and handed one to the sanitation worker: "Sir, may I ask, is that puppy yours?"

After the little guy got the two people out of the car, he ran across the road, stood under a tree, and looked at Lu Jingxing with his head half raised.

The old man took the cigarette and shook his head. "It's not mine. I can't even eat enough myself, so how can I feed that thing? It must be a stray dog. It's been here for a long time. It used to have white fur, but now it's a neutral grey or black color."

"It's confirmed that it has no owner, right?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Originally it should have had an owner, but I don't know whether it ran away or was thrown away by the owner. Anyway, it has been in this area for at least half a year..." The old man put the cigarette between his ears and continued to pick up the broom.

"Thank you. I'll take a look at the situation. If it doesn't work, I'll take it back. It's pitiful to let it wander like this." Lu Jingxing said.

"It's up to you, but you have to be careful and don't get bitten by it." After saying that, the old man looked forward.

After asking, Lu Jingxing walked towards Ji Ling.

The puppy kept staring at them, but no matter how Ji Ling teased it, it was very cautious and didn't come close.

If he got closer, Lu Jingxing could use telepathy to communicate with it. If that was the case, there would be nothing he could do.

The main thing is, if they move forward a little, the little guy will move back a little, and if they move back, the little guy will follow again.

"It's trying to escape from us." Ji Ling said with a smile, looking at the little guy in front of him.

The little guy looks like a Teddy bear. It is not big, but its fur is longer than that of a Teddy bear. At this time, the little guy's fur is all tangled and in clumps. Moreover, a small tuft of hair on the top of its head has fallen down, covering one of its eyes. When it looks at people, it always has to raise its head halfway.

After walking a few laps, the little guy slowly sat down.

"Oh, be good, come here..." Ji Ling used the usual method of teasing the dog.

The little guy looked at Lu Jingxing and then at Ji Ling, then lowered his head and kept cleaning his mouth with water.

It was not until it slowly sat down that Lu Jingxing realized that the little guy had kept his mouth slightly open.

"Does it have something stuck in its mouth?" Ji Ling also squatted down and looked at it from a level angle.

"It should be. We don't know how long it has been stuck. Judging from its appearance, it probably can't even drink water." Lu Jingxing also noticed it.

"What should we do? I'll get the cage and you catch it. It must be saved, otherwise it will die of thirst in two days if not starve to death." Ji Ling saw that the little guy jumped back as if reflexively when she stretched out her hand, so she didn't dare to reach out her hand anymore.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay, go get a cage and I'll find a way to catch it."

Watching Ji Ling walk away, Lu Jingxing negotiated with the little guy in a louder voice: "I'll take you back and help you take the stuff out of your mouth, okay?" He used his heart language.

At this moment, apart from the cicadas' chirping, there was no other loud noise in this area. The little guy was a little panicked at first, but soon understood what Lu Jingxing said.

Then, when Ji Ling came back with the cage, the first thing she saw was Lu Jingxing squatting, and the little guy came closer to him consciously.

Ji Ling was afraid of breaking the silence, so she stood there in a daze, fearing that the little guy would bounce away again if she left.

When Lu Jingxing saw the little guy coming over, he first gently touched its head, and then carefully looked at its mouth.

But you can't tell what's in its mouth by looking directly at it, but you can be sure that there is something foreign in its mouth. He whispered, "Be good, we will take you to get the things in your mouth now, okay?"

"Ohhhh..." The little guy couldn't even make a sound and could only respond to him with a whimper.

Knowing that he had captured its heart, Lu Jingxing turned around and waved to Ji Ling.

Now Ji Ling strode over with confidence: "How did you do it? It was resisting when I just left, but how come I just went to get a cage and it was captured by you?" She said in disbelief.

Although she had held such hope when she was about to get the cage herself and let Lu Jingxing look after the little guy, she was still very confused.

"I just waved my hand and it came over..." Lu Jingxing said calmly, "I'm sure there's something in its mouth, but I don't know where it is. Let's go, take it back and you'll know. I haven't dealt with it yet."

Ji Ling had already opened the cage and put it on the ground: "Will it come in by itself?"

"Probably, probably." Lu Jingxing stroked the little guy's head again: "Come in, we'll take you to get the thing in your mouth."

The little guy tilted his head to look at the two of them, then obediently crawled into the cage.

Ji Ling covered her mouth and said, "Brother Lu, this is amazing..." Then she looked around and said, "I have never walked this section with you before. Why did you decide to walk this way today? And, you happened to encounter it so miraculously."

Lu Jingxing locked the cage, picked it up, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I don't know either. I just suddenly thought of walking this way, and then, I met it inexplicably. This is probably fate, haha..."

For some reason, Lu Jingxing suddenly felt in a good mood. His unintentional act saved a life, which made him very happy.

The little guy was already lying there, and because he couldn't cry out or close his mouth, even if Lu Jingxing knew he was hungry and thirsty, there was nothing he could do. Unless he took the food out of his mouth, the little guy wouldn't be able to eat at all.

This time, Ji Ling sat in the passenger seat swiftly: "You should drive. I have never been on this road. Don't let cats and dogs block the road. I don't know if I will be so lucky. Then stop the car far away."

Lu Jingxing smiled and got into the driver's seat: "Haha, OK, I'll drive."

The two of them smiled and took the little guy to the second store.

Yang Pei, who had returned to the store a long time ago, saw the two people just coming back and asked, "You two went on a date. This short time is not enough for a date."

"It's just an appointment. I just took another route." Lu Jingxing said as he took the dog out of the trunk.

"Damn, did you pick this up on the road? It's so dirty?" Yang Pei frowned as he looked at the guy's matted hair.
