start with a pet store

Chapter 998 A bit strange

"It doesn't matter, anyone can be. As long as you are responsible, it's fine." The man was in his fifties and spoke with full energy. His voice attracted all the eyes in the hall.

Ji Ling waved to everyone and said with a smile: "It's okay, everyone is busy with their own things."

She walked towards the person who came: "Tell me slowly, what's the matter?"

The person who came in said, "It's like this. The teething stick you have here is made of steel. It broke my dog's teeth."

Ji Ling was stunned again, and she was a little confused. After not being in the store for a while, were these people becoming more and more problematic? Or was there something wrong with herself?

"A broken tooth? What does it have to do with the tooth stick?" Ji Ling asked.

"It's just that your teething stick is too hard, so it can't be bitten, so it broke. Girl, how come you don't understand?" The visitor said anxiously.

"No, Auntie, a teething stick must be hard to be called a teething stick. It is used for grinding teeth." Ji Ling was speechless.

"I don't care. You have to pay compensation. I couldn't bear to touch it. Now its teeth are broken. Just tell me how you want to compensate me." The woman felt that she was right and seemed unwilling to give in.

"Then Auntie, I want to ask, which tooth of your dog broke?" Ji Ling thought for a while and asked.

"This, this one here, isn't that a canine tooth..." The woman said as she exposed her gums, pointed at the upper gums and said, "Originally there were two canine teeth on one side, for a total of four. I checked yesterday and saw that there were only three left. They must have been broken off when I ate your teething stick." The woman put her hands on her hips, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

"Come, Auntie, have a glass of water first." Ji Ling poured a glass of water for the woman, and then said, "Auntie, you must have misunderstood. The tooth you are talking about is a deciduous tooth, which needs to be ground down. Otherwise, you will have to take it to the hospital to have it extracted later."

"Pulling out teeth? That's getting more and more outrageous. I've never had my teeth pulled out. I've also never heard of anyone pulling out a dog's teeth. Which dog has had its teeth pulled out? You're simply... it originally had four teeth and now only has three left. You're turning it into a disabled dog..." The woman felt more stamina after drinking the water.

"No, Auntie..." Ji Ling wanted to interrupt her.

"I've consulted about this. Tooth loss is irreversible..." The woman waved her hand and looked at the store. "If this happens to someone, you won't be able to pay the compensation even if you sell the store. I'm telling you to hurry up and compensate me. Our dog weighs seven kilograms, so you should compensate me according to the weight. I've calculated it anyway, so just give me five thousand yuan. I don't want more."

Ji Ling was completely stunned by her behavior, mainly because her voice was so loud that Ji Ling couldn't get a word in.

"Let me tell you, I've consulted a lawyer, and I'm not blackmailing you. What does this five thousand include..." The woman opened one hand and pointed with the other: "Medical expenses, loss of work wages, nursing fees, and the subsequent things. This tooth will definitely not grow out, and if the mouth is deformed, I will have to correct it. Can you calculate it?"

"What you said is that this tooth is going to fall out. It's a deciduous tooth, just like human deciduous teeth need to be replaced." Ji Ling finally found a chance to speak.

"Isn't this unreasonable? I'm going to talk to you in a nice tone this time. I'm going to reconcile with you this time. If it doesn't work out, I'll sue you. Do you want to pay in cash or by scanning a code? Come on, be quick and don't waste time. If you can't convince me, the longer you drag it out, the more time you'll have to spend." The woman took out her cell phone while speaking, and clicked on the scan code at around 7 or 8 o'clock.

Seeing that Ji Ling didn't make any move, she continued, "If you don't solve it, don't deal with it, evade responsibility, evade the problem, you can just wait for the court summons. I'll tell you this once..."

At this time, a customer who heard the noise came over and said, "Sister, do you understand? The one in front of the canine is the baby tooth, and it needs to be replaced."

"What do you want to change? It's none of your business. Stop interfering. I'm here to ask for compensation from them. Go away..." The woman immediately yelled at the customer who came to help her when she saw that she was a little girl.

"You are here just to make trouble and extort money..." A customer couldn't stand it and walked out.

Seeing that more and more people were coming and all of them were on Ji Ling's side, the woman became anxious: "Hurry up, I'll give you the lowest discount, at least 4,000, just go for it."

Ji Ling's mind had turned over a hundred times, and he smiled helplessly: "Or, you can sue..."

"Girl, you're really stubborn. Well, just wait and see. Wait for the subpoena..." Seeing that no one supported her, the woman walked out cursing as she spoke.

"No, what kind of person is this? He easily pays four or five thousand. Why doesn't she just go and grab it?" The customers were speechless after seeing this man's actions.

"She's here to rob. If you keep talking, I'll call the police..." Ji Ling said with a smile. The more she argued with this kind of person, the more excited she became. If it was a small shop with only a few employees, she might have made him cry.

"This is called a lack of common sense. They haven't even figured out the difference between the deciduous teeth and the canine teeth, and they're already doing it." The customers all laughed.

Ji Ling had no choice but to laugh along.

"Ding-ling-ling" the phone at the front desk rang. Xiuling smiled back at everyone and immediately ran to answer the phone, and the customers then dispersed.

"Hello, Chongai Youjia..." Ji Ling said after answering the phone.

"Isn't a pet shop..." A male voice came from the phone, and it sounded like he was a bit old.

"Oh, yes, it's a pet hospital called Chongai. What do you need?" Ji Ling asked.

"Oh, that's it. I'm your old customer. My dog ​​wants a bath. Can you come to my house and take him there?" the other party asked.

"We can pick you up at your door, but there's a fee. Do you have a membership card with us?" Ji Ling asked when she heard that the customer was an old customer.

"Membership card? I don't have that. However, my daughter was fostered at your place for one night when she got married. I remember it was ten dollars..." the other party said.

"Ten dollars for boarding? Sir, you may have remembered it wrongly. It shouldn't be here. We haven't charged ten dollars a night since we opened the store." Ji Ling said politely.

"Of course I am. I know. Your store is not far from my house. Let me not talk about that. How much does it cost to take a shower? My feet hurt. You have to come to my house to pick me up." said the man.

"What breed is your dog and how much does it weigh?" Ji Ling asked.

"My daughter told me it was a French bulldog. I don't know how much it weighs. I just asked it to take a bath. Why are you asking so many questions..." The other party seemed a little impatient.

"French bulldog, right? A general wash for an adult dog is 80 yuan, and door-to-door service will add yuan, totaling yuan." Ji Ling said. "It's so expensive, why don't you just go and rob it? yuan is fine, if you can, just come and pick it up right away." The man said.

"I'm sorry, sir. Our general washing costs at least 80, not including door-to-door services. It can't be ." Ji Ling replied.

"Why not, Luo, little girl, why don't you leave some room for maneuver when you speak? You see, I saw that your store is nearby, and I'm worried that your business is not good, so I want to take care of your business. Otherwise, I would go to that person's store. I don't know how nice the attitude is there..."

Ji Ling didn't want to reply directly: "Sorry, washing and adding the door will cost at least one hundred."

The man got anxious again: "I'm only sixty years old. If you can't do it, I will never come to your store in my life. Let's see how you can do it."

Ji Ling was so angry that she laughed: "Then go find the company you mentioned." After saying that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.

The person on the other end of the phone listened to the beeping sound and started cursing.

Ji Ling was stunned for a long time. What was going on? Are people like this now?

When Lu Jingxing came out, he saw Ji Ling who was in a daze. He walked to the front desk and waved in front of her: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"

When Ji Ling saw Lu Jingxing, she pouted: "Why are there so many weirdos? What kind of luck am I having today?"

"What's wrong?" Lu Jingxing had just come out of the operating room and didn't know what happened outside. He rarely heard Ji Ling complain, so when he heard her say that, he was very confused.

Ji Ling then told him everything that had just happened in a few words.

Lu Jingxing kept listening to her with a smile. Seeing the little girl getting angrier and angrier, he finally patted her head and said, "Don't let these messy people ruin your mood..."

"I don't want to do it either. What's going on? I'm confused. What's going on? The one in front of me was making a lot of calculations. She didn't want the gift I gave her and even wanted to reduce the price. The one with the broken tooth was obviously a baby tooth, but she still wanted to make trouble. What a guy, this bath guy, who comes here once every few years, claims to be an old customer and even curses that our business is bad and threatens not to come again." Ji Ling became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. You did a good job. We have clearly marked the prices. If you think it's suitable, buy it. If it's not suitable, don't buy it. As for the broken teeth, he is blackmailing. Next time it happens, just call the police. As for the bathing incident, don't bother about it. We can't win every day, and he said that he saw our business was not doing well or something like that. He just wanted to piss you off." Lu Jingxing smiled and comforted Ji Ling.

"I know. Actually, I'm not that angry. I feel much better after talking to you. I just think this is a bit too speechless." Ji Ling has adjusted his mentality.

"It's strange. This kind of thing, usually it's very strange to meet such a person once every two days. You have met three in a row, you are lucky enough..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"That's right..." Ji Ling felt angry and amused at the same time: "By the way, are you done with your work?"

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, the operation is done..." He looked at the time: "I'll go finish the tail work, change clothes later, and go to the cafeteria together."

"Okay..." Ji Ling nodded with a smile, then watched Lu Jingxing turn around and go to the office, and continued to settle the bill herself.

Lu Jingxing had just returned to the office and was about to organize today's information when Fang Guo came over: "Doctor Lu, are you busy? There is something I want to talk to you about."

Lu Jingxing raised his head: "What's wrong?" He put down the pen in his hand and asked.

Fang Guo closed the door and sat down in front of Lu Jingxing's desk: "Well, I was on duty last night, and I received a cat in the middle of the night. I thought it was a bit strange."

"How strange..." Lu Jingxing didn't want to play tricks at all.

"It's like this. The customer was a man, about 27 or 28 years old. He said the cat belonged to his neighbor. He saw the cat lying on the side of the road in the middle of the night, motionless, so he caught it and found that its leg was injured, so he brought it here."

"Hmm? Is there any problem with this?" Lu Jingxing asked in confusion.

"Originally, there was no problem with this. It was a good deed, right? I said, since it was the neighbor's house, why didn't the neighbor come? He said it was too late and he didn't bother the neighbor."

"That makes sense." Lu Jingxing nodded: "It shows that he is more enthusiastic."

"The problem is, I took an X-ray of the cat, and the injury doesn't look like being run over by a car. Here's the film, please take a look..." As he said that, he handed the film to Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing put the film on the viewer. The film was very clear and he could tell where the problem was at a glance.

"It's broken, but judging from the injury, it looks more like it was broken by someone." Lu Jingxing frowned.

"Yes, I think so too. Moreover, the little guy looked at that man with fear in his eyes. But he said that he had a very good relationship with that neighbor, and the little guy was usually very close to him. Do you think he was the one who interrupted him?" Fang Guo asked.

Lu Jingxing didn't comment: "It's hard to say, where is the cat now?"

"He took it away right away. I originally said it would be best to give it two days of injections, but he said that it was someone else's cat after all, so he would take it back first. If the owner wanted to get injections, he would let the owner bring it back then. It was not easy for me to stop him from taking it away. The bandaging and examination cost a little over a thousand yuan, and he paid the money very readily without any hesitation. But I just feel it's not normal." Fang Guo said as he thought about what happened last night.

"Do you know where he lives? If he is a habitual offender, he will definitely do it again in the future, or he has done it before. However, very few cat abusers will send their cats to a pet shop for treatment. This is a bit strange. Maybe we are overthinking it, and the cat was injured somewhere else and he just rescued it." Lu Jingxing analyzed.

"Anyway, this injury must have been caused by human beings. Even if it wasn't him, it must have been someone nearby, because the cat's leg was seriously injured, and the cat is a golden shaded cat. It definitely couldn't have run far with that injury. The fact that he was able to catch it means that the little guy must have been injured nearby." Fang Guo said what he was thinking.

"What you said makes sense. We should pay attention to this matter. Do you have his address?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"I have the address, but I don't know if it's real." Fang Guo handed Lu Jingxing the list with the information that the man left last night.

"Postal and Electronic Road...it's quite far from here. Why did it come to us?" Lu Jingxing muttered to himself as he looked at the message left behind.

"He said that after searching, he found that only our place is open 24 hours a day, so he came here specially." Fang Guo explained.
