Chapter 1083 Small Goals

"Oh, I hope so." The old man nodded helplessly. There was no other way. This was already the best result. If it was any worse, the little guy might have died.

Lu Jingxing carefully discussed the surgical plan with the old man.

"Grandpa, this is what's going on. We checked it and found no other problems except a fracture. Because its leg is thin, a fracture is equivalent to what we consider a break. Now its entire leg is black..." Lu Jingxing put the little guy in front of the old man, who came closer to take a closer look and nodded in agreement.

"So what is this plan?" asked the old man.

"Well, we have two types. The first one is a little more expensive, which is to put an intramedullary nail into the bone, which is what we call internal fixation. This one will definitely have a better effect.

Well, there is another method that is similar to the splinting we humans use, where you use two tapes to fix its legs, but there is a problem with this method, which is that there is a high probability that it will only heal abnormally, that is, its bones may not grow back to their original shape, which may affect its future walking. Of course, it is not completely absolute, it is a matter of probability..." Lu Jingxing held the little guy and gently stroked its head.

Maybe because his legs were really painful, the little guy was shivering a little.

The old man listened very carefully throughout the whole process, and nodded and said "um" from time to time to indicate his confirmation.

After Lu Jingxing finished his introduction, he quickly made a decision: "Let's go with the first one you mentioned, the one with internal fixation. We can't let it affect my walking in the future, otherwise I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling were both amused by what the old man said. They probably wouldn't feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

As if he knew what they were thinking, the old man said angrily, "It's really that serious. My old lady, forget it. You should perform surgery on it quickly. It would be best if the little guy can recover as before when she comes back."

"Uh, when will grandma come back?" Lu Jingxing couldn't help but ask with some concern.

After hearing the old man's description, he felt that his grandmother must be a very fierce and domineering person.

"Let me see what time it is now. She said she would come back to make dinner." The old man rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch.

"That goes without saying. It definitely won't be able to recover to its original state today." Ji Ling laughed.

"You little girl, you're still laughing. I'm so anxious." The old man pouted, pretending to be angry.

Ji Ling thought the old man was quite cute, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't smile anymore. We will perform the operation right away. You wait here. The operation won't take long, about an hour or so, right?" She looked at Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yeah, almost."

After the old man signed the consent form for the surgery, Lu Jingxing's operating room was ready.

Because of the previous communication and the little guy's surprisingly cooperative attitude, the whole operation went quite smoothly and was completed in less than an hour.

Five or six stitches were applied to the little leg bone. Although internal fixation was performed, the outside was also bandaged. Now the little guy's entire leg was fixed and he couldn't move.

After the little guy was completely awake from the anesthesia, Ji Ling took the little guy out to show the old man.

As soon as I went out, I saw the old man standing silently with his head down beside the bench in front of the operating room. Sitting on the bench was a grandmother who should be about the same age as him. In fact, speaking of a grandmother, she actually looked quite young, at least she was dressed quite young.

Ji Ling felt at first glance that this was the mother-in-law the old man was talking about.

Ji Ling walked over with a smile: "Grandpa, the operation is over."

The old man immediately raised his head, and the grandmother also stood up: "My little darling, you have suffered so much, little girl, how is it? Will it be able to walk in the future?"

It's not as exaggerated as grandpa said. Grandma looks kind and benevolent. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandpa is afraid that little darling will have any sequelae in the future, so he specially chose the most suitable surgery plan. Our doctor said that little darling is just in a little pain now, but when he recovers, he will be the same as before, and there will be no sequelae."

"That's good, that's good, little darling, you'll beat grandpa to death. You can't even do such a small thing right. You must be scared." Grandma took the little guy from Ji Ling's hands, feeling very distressed.

The old man blinked at Ji Ling. He felt that the storm was over.

Ji Ling smiled back. She somehow understood the old man a little better. It wasn't that grandma was so mean, but the old man loved grandma too much. He felt bad because he had hurt grandma's favorite little darling.

The two old people paid the money and left with Xiaoguaiguai.

When Lu Jingxing came out of the operating room, the old man and grandmother were gone.

Ji Ling smiled and told him what happened just now. Lu Jingxing couldn't help but shook his head and laughed: "This is probably a kind of happiness."

Ji Ling also laughed.

When Xi Wenxin came out of the office, he saw the two of them talking with a smile on their faces: "I didn't expect that you would be asked to go into surgery right after you arrived..."

Lu Jingxing smiled indifferently: "This is a good thing, it means business is good..."

He checked the time and it was already time for lunch: "Well, I'll host lunch today. Instead of eating takeout, let's go to a nearby restaurant to eat. Let's see if we should leave two people to look after the restaurant..."

"That's fine. It's a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other, so that I don't have to introduce you every time I come..." Xi Wenxin said with a smile.

Then he clapped his hands vigorously: "Everyone, come on and finish your work. Don't order takeout for lunch today. I'm going to the restaurant to book two tables now. Let's go out to eat together later. Shen Bo, go to the back and notify them. It's 11 o'clock now. See if everyone can finish their work around 11:30. If they can, everyone can take a one-hour break for lunch at noon."

Everyone cheered when they heard this. Even if it was only an hour, it was still a break, not to mention there was a big meal to eat.

The meal was enjoyed with laughter.

This can be regarded as the first formal in-store dinner arranged by Lu Jingxing.

In the afternoon, Fang came over, and with the few assistants in the store now available to receive guests, Xi Wenxin had time to report to Lu Jingxing about the business performance during this period.

The two of them stayed in the office for a whole afternoon. Although the store had not been open for long, the profits were considerable. After all, it was a port city, and unlike the store in Longan, it did not accept cats and dogs without restrictions, so the profits seemed quite considerable.

"That's right. It's quite unexpected." Lu Jingxing looked at the numbers on the report and was a little bit unconvinced.

"I didn't expect it. It's much more than what I earned when I first started working..." Xi Wenxin also grinned.

This was his first time starting a business. Although he knew he could do it, he was still a little scared. But he didn't expect to gain such a huge amount.

Ji Ling calculated the approximate profit as quickly as possible. Looking at this figure that was a little too impressive, she felt her scalp tingling: "Based on this, can we open more branches? If each store has this profit, my God, I dare not think about it. In a few years, we can achieve these small goals." Lu Jingxing and Xi Wenxin laughed after hearing this.

"It depends on the right time, place and people. Not every store can make so much money. If it were, why would so many stores close down? Besides, we don't have so many store managers to assign..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"That's right. We need to train Manager Xi more first." Ji Ling also laughed.

The three were chatting animatedly when there was a knock on the office door: "Mr. Lu, a boss named Zhao wants to see you..." The voice of the receptionist Shen Bo was heard outside the door.

"Jingming is here, I'll go greet him..." Lu Jingxing immediately stood up and walked out.

"Why do you want you to welcome me? I won't come in..." The voice came to Zhao Jingming before he saw the person.

Lu Jingxing just opened the door and the person who came into view was Zhao Jingming, whom he had not seen for several months.

He immediately hugged Lu Jingxing and said, "Brother, it's been a long time since we last met. Did you miss me?"

Didn't you call me Brother Lu? When did you become my younger brother again? Lu Jingxing was very happy in his heart, but he said clearly: "I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, it feels like a long time since I last saw you. I am about to live my life again."

Everyone laughed even louder after hearing his joke.

"Oh, Miss Ji is here too. If I had known, I would have brought my girlfriend here as well. However, I don't know where she is now..." After hugging Lu Jingxing, Zhao Jingming walked over with a smile and sat down on the sofa.

Ji Ling greeted him with a smile: "Your own girlfriend, where did she go?"

"I really don't know. That girl flies everywhere all day long. She was in BJ yesterday and may be in Malaysia tomorrow. She's even crazier than me..." Zhao Jingming complained about his girlfriend, but from his voice, it can be known that he actually cares about her.

Lu Jingxing and the others smiled in their hearts. It seemed that this girlfriend was quite capable. She was probably the one Zhao Jingming had been with the longest.

"Have you finished the settlement? I have chosen a place. When do we leave?" Zhao Jingming asked several people while looking at the account book spread out on the table.

"Almost done. By the way, what's going on with that car?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"It's nothing serious. My father's company just happened to order a batch of cars, and I thought that Mr. Xi didn't have any, so I just added one..." Zhao Jingming said indifferently.

"This...a car worth hundreds of thousands, and you just took it for granted?" Even Lu Jingxing couldn't help but stare.

"Hey, it's not a big deal..." Zhao Jingming waved his hand: "Okay, are you done? We'll leave when we're done. There will be traffic jams later."

He specifically booked a room with a sea view, so it would take a while to get there.

Lu Jingxing didn't bother him about the car anymore, he could just count it as his investment, it really wasn't a big deal.

It was just time to get off work. Lu Jingxing had already treated the employees to lunch and they had to move the room in the evening, so everyone waited for him for a while.

Just as they were about to leave, Pan Erdong walked in from outside. When he saw Lu Jingxing and Zhao Jingming, his eyes immediately lit up: "Brother Lu, President Zhao, why are you here?"

"Oh, that's right. I was wondering why I haven't seen you all day. What have you been doing?" Lu Jingxing asked as he saw Pan Erdong looked a lot darker than before.

"Well, something happened at his home. How is it going? Has everything been dealt with?" After hearing this, Xi Wenxin hurriedly greeted them.

"Okay, no problem. I'll come over when I finish. Are you guys going out?" Pan Erdong asked as he saw a group of people getting ready to go out, including Fang Guo.

"Then put your things away. Mr. Zhao said he would take me to see the world..." Xi Wenxin laughed.

"Okay, right away..." Pan Erdong hurried inside and took his suitcase to the office.

As they walked towards the car, Xi Wenxin grabbed Lu Jingxing and said, "I'll tell you about Erdong later. The decision of whether to keep him or not is up to you."

Lu Jingxing looked back at him: "Is it serious?"

Xi Wenxin nodded, then shook his head: "I guess so, I'll tell you later..."

Lu Jingxing nodded. When he heard Zhao Jingming calling him, he quickly responded and took Ji Ling to his car: "Then you guys share a car?"

Fang Guo, Xi Wenxin, and Pan Erdong, who had just put down his luggage, nodded together: "Okay, we'll follow."

The main reason is that Zhao Jingming was driving a sports car today and it couldn't accommodate so many people.

The topic of conversation at the dinner table inevitably turned to Song Yuan.

Zhao Jingming said, "I went to the United States some time ago and met that guy. He is very capable and has now taken over his father's company. He is doing very well. By the way, did Yang Pei say that she is getting married?"

He changed the subject and asked.

Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded: "The date has been set..."

"This guy is doing great things quietly..." It was the first time Xi Wenxin heard of this, but he was also very happy for him.

"I don't know if Song Yuan will be able to come back by then. You know what, we've been apart for so long that I really miss him a little bit." Lu Jingxing said with a rare sour tone.

"Of course he will. He originally said that he would come back after the New Year to hold a wedding banquet and invite these friends he had been close to. But now he has no choice and can't just leave. But he said that if these people get married, he will come back no matter what." Zhao Jingming said.

"That's right. It won't feel the same without anyone..." Lu Jingxing also laughed.

Over the years, these brothers have really gotten along like real brothers. Indeed, if such an important event in life is not attended together, it will always feel like something is missing.

The meal was a great pleasure for both hosts and guests, but without the drunkard Yang Pei, no one got drunk.

In the evening, Lu Jingxing took Ji Ling to a nearby hotel. Although they could stay at Xi Wenxin's place, it was not good for a girl like Ji Ling to live with a group of grown men, so he accompanied her to get a room.

Xi Wenxin sent the two to the hotel, and he stayed to tell Lu Jingxing about Pan Erdong.
