start with a pet store

Chapter 1046 Talent
"Okay, I've taken this matter to heart and will get it done as soon as possible. Do you three have any ideas about how the second floor should be arranged? If so, tell me. Or it would be even better if you could draw a plan for me. I'm going to Hong Kong City in the next few days and will start working on the second floor when I come back." Lu Jingxing said to the three people around him with a smile.

When they reached the second floor, Xiaolan and Xiaomei stopped what they were doing and came over.

The three of them nodded at the same time.

After Lu Jingxing finished speaking, he also felt that it would be best to let the three of them participate. After all, they had spent the longest time in the store and knew best how to arrange the store most reasonably.

Of course he could make the drawing and do it well, but in the end it was the three of them who stayed in the store, and if they had any ideas, Lu Jingxing would definitely consider adopting them.

Sun Xing quickly ran to the cashier counter, took out a notebook from the table and handed it to Lu Jingxing: "Hey, Brother Lu, I have already written my ideas here. I am not very good at operating a computer, and I drew these myself. See if it is feasible and can be operated."

Lu Jingxing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Sun Xing loved this job so much. It seemed that the decision to transfer him to the reptile department was quite correct.

Sun Xing looked at Lu Jingxing looking at him and felt a little uneasy. He looked at Xiaolan and Xiaomei, and then looked at Lu Jingxing. Lu Jingxing was already looking through his works.

Lu Jingxing didn't say yes or no, he just nodded slightly: "I'll go back and take a look, you guys continue working."

After saying that, he covered the notebook and walked out slowly with the sound of the clip.

Sun Xing didn't get the praise he thought he would get. He touched his nose and said naively, "Maybe I stretched my hand too far and Brother Lu is unhappy."

Xiaolan and Xiaomei looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes, but they nodded seriously: "Well, I think so, he must be unhappy..."

After they finished talking, they smiled and went about their business.

Lu Jingxing put his hands behind his back, took out the book and started laughing.

I didn't expect that Sun Xing is so talented. He drew this floor plan by hand and it looks quite realistic.

Moreover, he drew it by reducing the actual area. The photo was given to Ji Ling, who could turn it into an electronic drawing in minutes, and then use it after some modifications. He didn't need to do anything.

This is truly a talented person. We must hold him tightly, but we must not let him know, lest he become proud.

He came out of the back door with a smile on his face. When he looked up, he saw two blackbirds flapping their wings and flying down from the cage, calling at him.

Lu Jing walked over and added some water and mealworms to the cages of the little guys.

Ever since Grandma Myna took the starling away last time, Ruyi looked much more listless than before. She didn’t notice it when she was around, but she didn’t expect that the departure of the little guy would have such a big impact on her.

In the past, grandma would bring the little guy over to visit from time to time, but Ding Fang said that grandma hasn't brought the starling over for a long time.

She also noticed that Ruyi was not as lively as before, so she called to ask. Grandma said that the starling was doing well now and she would come when she had time. Ding Fang didn't know what to say and could only come to tease it from time to time.

But obviously the effect is not very good.

Ruyi still couldn't be happy.

Lu Jingxing sighed silently. This was the same for birds and people, in fact, all good things must come to an end. He had thought about buying the starling at first, but his grandmother was unwilling. She didn't care about money anyway. During the time the starling was here, his grandmother paid for its foster care.

Now that she wants to take it back, Lu Jingxing and the others have nothing to say.

Forget it. I’ll see if I can find a suitable bird later, one or two that are more talkative.

He called Ruyi down and gave it some private treatment. The little guy chatted with him a lot, so he thought it wouldn't be depressed anymore.

While he was teasing Ruyi and the others, Jiaziyin stayed on his shoulder. After all, Ruyi and the others had seen a lot, so they were not afraid of Jiaziyin's approach at all. Jiaziyin was very friendly to them. It even tried to put its claws into the cage. The braver Xiaosongzi even jumped over and pecked it.

The sound of the clamp was very dull. Lu Jingxing wanted it to come down, but it refused. It was not until he arrived at the office and sat down that it jumped off him.

Lu Jingxing took out Sun Xing's notebook and sent the picture he drew to Ji Ling.

Ji Ling immediately sent a message: "What is this?"

"Sun Xing's drawing of the layout of the second floor of the reptile house..."

"Second floor?"

"Yeah, the first floor isn't enough."

"The drawing is pretty good. Do you want me to change it into an electronic version? He drew it? So amazing?" Ji Ling felt the same as Lu Jingxing after seeing it.

"Yeah, I didn't think of that. How about I create a group or you can talk to him directly. I have a ticket to go to Gangcheng tonight. Old Xi has a serious illness and I have to go for surgery. You can decide this with Sun Xing. I will contact the decorator to come and take a look when I come back." Lu Jingxing told Ji Ling about his schedule.

"Okay, no problem. Is it a cat or a dog surgery? Is it difficult? Do we have to leave tonight?" Ji Ling agreed without hesitation.

"It's a dog, it's quite old, other hospitals said it should be euthanized and surgery is not possible, but the owner is reluctant to do it. I looked at its test results and surgery is possible, but it is indeed a bit difficult, mainly because it is too old, about fifteen years old. However, I think it's okay. If it doesn't have surgery, it will probably die in the next few days. It's okay to delay the surgery for a year." Lu Jingxing actually thought that it could be delayed for two years, but he didn't say too much.

"You are still the best..." After Ji Ling sent the message, she also sent a rose.

Lu Jingxing smiled, and then he thought of handing the drawing over to her, and asked, "The decoration is not urgent. If you have classes or other things to do, you can do it first."

"It's okay. I've looked carefully. This Sun Xing is really talented in this area. His drawing is actually quite detailed. I just need to confirm it with him and then make it. It's not difficult..." Ji Ling enlarged Sun Xing's drawing while chatting with Lu Jingxing.

"Okay, just talk to him directly." Lu Jingxing said.

"Let's form a group. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang." Ji Ling said with a smile.

"Are you just a cobbler?" Lu Jingxing laughed.

The two of them chatted back and forth until Ji Ling had to go to class.

Lu Jingxing said a few words to Ding Fang and then went to his aunt's place.

He also had an appointment with Lu Chen's math teacher in the evening. Luckily, the ticket was for 12 o'clock, so he wasn't too rushed. However, he didn't know how long the teacher would take, so he had to go back to pack up.

With this in mind, he drove to his aunt's house and then drove directly to the high-speed rail station, which would be convenient for him to come back the day after tomorrow. His uncle had already prepared the meal.

Lu Jingxing arrived and started eating right away.

He asked Lu Chen some more questions about the math teacher. After he had a general idea of ​​the situation, he took Lu Chen to the math teacher's home after dinner.

Unexpectedly, the teacher lived quite far from the school, plus there was some traffic jam during the evening rush hour, so it took Lu Jingxing almost an hour to get to the teacher's house.

"Come in quickly, the house is a bit messy, sorry." The math teacher's surname is Jian, and he was obviously very happy to see Lu Jingxing and Lu Chen.

"Woof woof woof..." As soon as he entered the door, Lu Jingxing heard the loud and vigorous barking of a dog.

"Wangzai, don't shout..." Teacher Jian said in fear.

"Wangzai..." Lu Jingxing greeted the little guy.

The little guy, who had been acting fiercely, immediately stopped barking and started wagging his tail enthusiastically.

The teacher's home was actually like a small pet shop, with four or five cats wandering around lazily around the house. In addition to the Bichon Frise that just called them, there was also a big golden retriever and even two parrots, walking around in a very arrogant manner, not afraid of people, cats, or dogs.

One of the parrots was standing on the big golden retriever's head, saying hello, hello from time to time.

The house is not very big, with one bedroom and two living rooms. The door of one of the rooms is closed, so the little ones can move freely in the other rooms.

Teacher Jian said it was messy, but actually it was not messy for Lu Jingxing and the others. After all, he had been dealing with animals for such a long time, and naturally he had dealt with the owners of the small animals countless times. Many homes with small animals are really messy.

Some houses don’t clean for several days, and the smell of cat and dog poop and urine is unbearable.

But when he walked in, he really didn't smell a strong odor, but of course there was definitely a little bit.

However, it is really negligible.

Moreover, the Golden Retriever itself is different from the Husky. They may be a bit naughty when they are young, but generally they are like this when they grow up. They will be lively when they should be, but they rarely destroy the house.

It lay on the ground, feeling like the boss of the family.

Cats and parrots love to rub against it.

Because of these little guys, everyone’s relationship suddenly felt a lot closer.

Lu Chen did not show the shyness he had before meeting the teacher and started playing with the little ones.

Teacher Jian poured Lu Jingxing a glass of water, and they both sat down on the sofa.

"I'm sorry. I don't usually go home much. My wife went on a business trip today, and she saw from the surveillance that Weiwei didn't seem to be feeling well. My wife asked me to come back as soon as get out of class was over, otherwise I would have asked you to come to school..." Teacher Jian said apologetically, "Then, I could have asked you out two days later, but Xiaochen's situation is a bit special, and I haven't talked to his parents about it. I like to deal with things on the same day, so I hope you can understand."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry that you have to worry about Lu Chen's matter. It's also because we, as parents, were not attentive enough. We are sorry." Lu Jingxing was embarrassed. Teacher Jian was too sincere, which made him feel a little nervous.

Teacher Jian looked about the same age as Lu Jingxing. He quickly told him about Lu Chen, saying that there would be a more formal math competition next month. No one from their school had ever participated in this competition because the children did not even have the qualifications to enter if they had not received systematic training.

But Teacher Jian knew about Lu Chen's situation, so he asked Lu Jingxing to come and hope that Lu Chen could participate.

If possible, he will try to spare more time this month to train him and enroll him as soon as possible.

Lu Jingxing naturally nodded happily. This kind of opportunity is rare.

"I also discovered that your Lu Chen actually has a talent for physics. However, I was just thinking about it. After all, he hasn't taken any formal physics classes yet. However, you can pay attention to this when he goes to junior high school. Generally speaking, children who are good at mathematics will not be bad at physics, but it is still different if they can participate in the Olympiad." Although Teacher Jian is not very old, it can be seen that he cherishes talent.

He was afraid that such a talented child would meet the kind of stubborn parents who only wanted the child to understand the knowledge in school. Obviously, Lu Jingxing was not one of them, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't care whether the tutoring fees were paid or not, but he was afraid that such a good seedling would be buried. After all, there were not many children who could be seen to have mathematical talent in the third grade.

At least he hadn't encountered it.

"Thank you so much. This is a blessing for my Lu Chen. We will listen to you on what to do next. Just let me know if you need my cooperation in anything." Lu Jingxing was truly grateful.

The two chatted for a while and were both quite satisfied.

"It's okay. He is my student, and his business is my business. So, I will go to school to register him when I return tomorrow... Well, I won't keep you any longer. I'm just about to go out and take my son to the hospital..." Teacher Jian urged them on.

Lu Jingxing had already looked at several cats in the hall and didn't see any sick ones, so he didn't ask.

Now that Teacher Jian was talking about Waiwai again, he asked, "Which one is Waiwai? What's wrong?"

"Oh, I locked it in the bedroom. I gave it medicine when I came back in the afternoon. It seems to be better now, but my wife just sent me a message asking me to take it to the hospital." Teacher Jian said.

"I am the pet hospital, why don't you let me take a look..." Lu Jingxing said.

"Ah, what a coincidence?" Teacher Jian said with some surprise, and took Lu Jingxing to the bedrooms with closed doors.

The little guy was lying on the bed. He looked up with a vigilant look when he saw someone coming. When he saw it was his owner, he immediately relaxed.

"Waiwai, come here..." Teacher Jian walked over and picked up the little guy.

The little guy looked a little listless, but he rubbed his head against Teacher Jian's hand and called out softly.

"When I came back in the afternoon, it didn't make a sound when I called it. It vomited as soon as I came back. After I gave it medicine, it felt better and didn't vomit anymore. But I noticed that its poop was a little watery, so I told my wife, and she told me to take it to the hospital." Teacher Jian touched the little guy's head and handed him to Lu Jingxing.

"I have never raised these before. It was my mother-in-law who liked to raise them. Alas, now we are all worried. My wife's job may be transferred to another province soon. What should we do with these little guys? Their mother, my mother-in-law, used to take care of them. My mother-in-law passed away suddenly last month, which really caught us off guard." Teacher Jian sighed softly, for his mother-in-law and for the little guys in the room.
