start with a pet store

Chapter 1014: Race against time to save it
The examination results were not surprising. Just as Lu Jingxing had expected, the cat's forelimbs had already been necrotic and it had to undergo amputation surgery to save its life.

So, without any hesitation, they both entered the operating room.

Lu Jingxing gave instructions and Xi Wenxin performed the operation. After the operation, Xi Wenxin went from being cautious at the beginning to smiling from ear to ear.

"This feeling is so good, just like winning the lottery." Even after leaving the operating room, the smile on Xi Wenxin's face did not fade.

Although the little guy's leg was amputated, which is a heartbreaking thing, for Xi Wenxin, the little guy's need for amputation was inevitable and it was also the best outcome. At least its life was saved.

As for him, because of Lu Jingxing's guidance during this practical operation, he felt from the bottom of his heart that his movements during the operation seemed to be much smoother.

The most important point is that he felt that his suturing skills seemed to have improved. When he saw the suture lines on the wound, he felt extremely satisfied.

Lu Jingxing was very calm. He had watched Xi Wenxin's surgical operations several times and even watched his videos when he had free time. He had to admit that this guy seemed to have some talent.

He returned to the office with a smile. He forgot to take his cell phone when he entered. He took out his cell phone from the drawer and saw that there were five or six missed calls.

He quickly called back: "Hello..."

"Master, Master, I'm in Long'an, I'm in Chongai Home, but they said you're not in Long'an." Situ Fang's excited yet somewhat disappointed voice came from the phone.

Lu Jingxing smiled inexplicably: "I'm here in Gangcheng, why didn't you say hello first?" he asked.

"I thought my brother called you. Besides, you told me last time that I could come to see you anytime after making arrangements, so I came directly." Situ Fang seemed a little aggrieved.

"Since I asked you to come without saying hello, you can wait for me in Long'an. Go to the second store and find a doctor named Yang Pei. I will greet him and let him arrange it for you." Lu Jingxing said helplessly, holding his forehead.

"But...when will you come back?" Situ Fang asked.

Lu Jingxing thought for two seconds: "About ten days..."

"I heard that a new store in Gangcheng is opening, right? They said that Dr. Fang will come tomorrow. How about I go with him? The new store will definitely need help, so I will come to help..." Situ Fang said quickly, "I can do a lot of things, really." He was afraid that Lu Jingxing would disagree, so he said it quickly as if to make a guarantee.

"Okay, then you should quickly place an order for a ticket and come over with Dr. Fang tomorrow..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

The shop here does need manpower. Although he can't help much by himself, he does have some medical skills, so at least he can handle general reception and inspections.

Situ Fang over there was extremely happy, in the eyes of others he seemed a bit heartless, but in fact only he knew that it was because of his heartlessness that he could live so happily every day. "Life is short, so just live one day at a time, why think so much..." This was his classic sentence that he often used to refute others.

After talking to Lu Jingxing, he immediately found Fang Guo: "Teacher Fang, I have agreed with my master to go to Gangcheng with you tomorrow. What time is your ticket? I don't know if I can still buy it now." He ran into Fang Guo's office with an excited look on his face.

Fang Guo was obviously stunned: "You want to go to Gangcheng with me?" He was very surprised.

"Yes, what's the problem? Is it not possible? If it's inconvenient for you, I can also not buy the same car with you." Situ Fang said with a smile.

"That's not inconvenient. Let me check my ticket..." Fang Guo had some free time at the moment, so after hearing what Situ Fang said, he quickly took out his cell phone to check his ticket. Although this kid looked nonchalant, from his tone just now, it seemed that he didn't know what his relationship with Lu Jingxing was, so it was better not to offend him.

Besides, he was just taking the bus with him to the port city, why did he ask so many questions? Fang Guo thought of this and laughed secretly in his heart. He must pay attention to his habit of asking questions casually in the future. He should worry less about things that he shouldn't worry about and just do the things at hand well.

He closed his own shop and came to Lu Jingxing to work as a doctor. At first, when Lu Jingxing asked him to go to Gangcheng, he was quite shocked because he had never thought of going so far.

But after going back and thinking it over for a night, he decided to go.

This is his one chance. After all, he is not young anymore. Lu Jingxing said that if the model of their store is done well and for a long time, he can even buy shares. He has no money to buy shares now, but Lu Jingxing also said that as long as he can settle down, he welcomes investment in technology shares.

Thinking of this, he secretly laughed again. Everyone knew more or less about Lu Jingxing's rise to wealth. His ability was unquestionable as he had grown so big so quickly. He also believed that as long as he followed him, he would definitely be fine in the future.

"Hey, Teacher Fang, what's so happy about? Tell us and let's laugh together..." Seeing Fang Guo laughing foolishly, Situ Fang touched him and said with a sly smile.

"Ah? Haha, sorry, I was distracted. The license plate number is this. Do you think you can still buy it?" Fang Guo quickly handed his cell phone to Situ Fang and quickly passed the message over.

"Let me check..." Situ Fang took a look and said, "Yes, there are tickets for 2pm. Okay, I'll book this trip too..." He didn't even wait for Fang Guo to look over. He booked the tickets in a few seconds.

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow afternoon. I won't disturb you anymore. I'm going to go out for a walk now..." He smiled and patted Fang Guo's shoulder, then prepared to go out.

"You'd better not call me teacher. Call me Brother Fang or Brother Guo, or even just my name. I'm not used to the term teacher..." Fang Guo scratched his head and said.

"Then come over, brother. I'm leaving first. By the way, my name is Situ Fang, you can just call me A Fang." Situ Fang laughed carelessly and walked out.

As soon as he walked into the hall, Ding Fang saw him and greeted him: "Situ Fang..."

Situ Fang nodded: "Hello..." and stretched out his hand.

Ding Fang glanced at him but didn't extend her hand: "We will be colleagues in the future, so don't be so polite. Brother Lu told me that you can stay upstairs at night. You can go and take a look now..." She pointed to the second floor.

"Can people live on the second floor? I thought we had to stay in a hotel tonight." Situ Fangdao didn't feel embarrassed. He took his hand back naturally and touched his head. Later, he thought about it and felt that it was indeed a bit strange. There was no need to shake hands with colleagues.

"Sure. There are several lounges upstairs. The three rooms on the left are guest rooms. You can choose any one you like." Ding Fang smiled and said, "If you don't like it, you can also stay in a hotel, but you have to pay for it yourself."

"I have a lot of money, so I'll stay in a hotel. Okay, thank you very much, I'll put my luggage upstairs right away." Situ Fang didn't care about Ding Fang's teasing. He went to the tea room to get his luggage and went upstairs.

He didn't have much luggage, just a backpack and a small suitcase, which contained a set of surgical tools and a few sets of clothes that were easier for him to use. He went up to the second floor and chose the middle room. Each room had simple quilts and other things, so you could almost move in with just your luggage. However, apart from the quilts, there was only a bed and a table, which was very simple.

This was done by Ji Ling on a whim when Lu Jingxing was doing the renovation last time. Because now many customers bring their pets for treatment, they are not comfortable with letting their cats or dogs live in the store, and they will ask to live here as well.

So, they discussed and turned the vacant space on the second floor into a small room, which really won praises from many customers. Although they have to charge an accommodation fee, the cost is not high and is much cheaper than staying in a hotel. Although the conditions are not so good, for those who just want to accompany their pets, this is already very good.

After he settled down, he sent a message to Lu Jingxing, telling him that he had made arrangements to go to Gangcheng with Fang Guo the next day, and then he went downstairs and walked around.

After walking around, he realized that the store was so big, many times bigger than he had imagined. The cattery in the backyard was even more eye-opening.

When Lu Jingxing received his text message, he took a look at it and didn't mention it again.

Soon it was the opening day.

Everyone arrived at the store early.

After a few days of short training, the new people hired into the store were assigned their respective positions, and everyone was happily waiting for customers to come in.

After a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, the three ChongAi stores officially opened.

The busiest place is the bathing and grooming salon. From the moment it opens, many customers come with their pets to have their pets bathed and groomed.

Normally, the shower room is for two people at most. Now, in addition to the two people originally working at this workstation, three more people have joined the queue, but they are still queuing.

By the afternoon, the front desk no longer dared to accept direct orders and had to queue up everyone. At the end of the day, the queue was extended to three days later.

As for Lu Jingxing, he was so busy that he had no time to rest, as if all the pet owners in the neighborhood had sent their little ones to him. Even when he got off work, he would be blocked at the door by people: "Please help me take a look at it again, just to see if it can be saved..."

"But our doctors are about to go off work, and a long time has passed. How about you come tomorrow?" The girl at the reception desk said with embarrassment. She had already added at least one more order for each doctor. The fastest one might take only a dozen minutes, but the slowest one might take an hour or more, not including those who needed surgery.

Now seeing the man standing outside the glass door to rescue her, she felt helpless.

Not to mention that it was time to get off work, the doctors inside also had to get off work. They had already been working for more than ten hours, and I was too embarrassed to ask them again.

In the office, Lu Jingxing let out a light breath and stretched his body. It had been a long time since he had to receive outpatients for such a long time. He was a little uncomfortable with it. This kind of tedious reception was actually the most tiring, because not only did you have to examine the small animals, but you also had to observe their owners.

Although most people are easy to talk to, there are always some who are not so easy to talk to, or even quite irritable. In this case, Ji Ling can always take over the trouble naturally, but it still makes him feel very annoyed.

"Brother Lu, there's a parrot at the door. The owner said it's not doing well. Do you want to take it in?" Ji Ling walked in directly. She was originally in the backyard arranging the cats that were to be kept under observation today. She came out when she heard the voice from the front desk.

Seeing the embarrassed look on the girl's face, she patted her on the back and said, "It's okay, I'll go ask..."

The girl looked at her gratefully, she used to work as a receptionist, and she was most afraid of people who came to look for her at the end of the day. Every time she went to tell them, she would be criticized for no reason, and she was really scared.

Ji Ling hurried to Lu Jingxing's office, and that scene where she asked him questions happened.

Lu Jingxing smiled and waved at her, and Ji Ling walked over quickly and reached out to hold his hand: "Still watching?"

"Look, are you hungry? You must be exhausted. I see you didn't have any rest today." Lu Jingxing looked at her with heartache.

"It's okay. I feel very fulfilled. I didn't expect the business here to be so good. It's much busier than when our two stores opened." Ji Ling said with a faint smile.

"Well, I didn't expect this. Just close the door after answering this. Everyone is tired today, so let's go off work..." Lu Jingxing said.

"Okay, I'll go see if everyone is done, and then I'll bring that person in." Ji Ling gently stroked his palm twice, then walked out with a sweet smile on her face.

Lu Jingxing smiled and watched her leave. He rubbed her shoulders gently, stood up and stretched his arms and legs. Then the customer with the little parrot at the door walked in.

"Doctor, please help me take a look at my bird. I think it's dying." The man said anxiously.

Lu Jingxing reached out and took the parrot from his hand.

This is a budgie with light yellow fur all over its body. It has its eyes half-drooped and looks listless.

"How long has it been like this? How could it be like this?" Lu Jingxing looked into the little guy's eyes.

He gently pulled its upper eyelids upwards, but the little guy's eyelids bounced back very, very slowly and could hardly come down. Its feet were cold, so Lu Jingxing tried to make it stand on the table, but it couldn't even stand.

The feathers are very fluffy and the breathing is very weak.

"It hasn't eaten anything since last night..." the man muttered.

"Ah? Why?" Lu Jingxing asked as he took the little guy to the examination room, without even having time to say a word to his owner.

The owner quickly followed and saw Lu Jingxing enter the machine room but did not close the door. He hesitated for two seconds and followed him: "Is it numb or has it always been like this?"

"If we don't take care of it, it will die soon..." Lu Jingxing said angrily for the first time. He held the little parrot in one hand and controlled the machine with the other hand: "If I don't care about it, it will die soon. Now we are racing against time to save it."
