start with a pet store

Chapter 1092 Determination
Lu Jingxing, who never drinks, was also confused by Ji Ling's conspiracy last night. However, after thinking about it all night, he felt that it did make sense.

So, even though he didn't sleep well last night, he still got up early this morning.

After struggling with this for the entire morning, he asked several colleagues who had participated in the rescue, and none of them had ever heard of the incident that the letter writer had told them about.

The main thing is that the person who wrote the letter did not say which national highway the car is on now, and he cannot ask in a big way, so he can only inquire in this way.

However, there is a saying that it is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go.

Although I don't know what the real purpose of the person who wrote to him was.

I don’t know if there really is such a carload of cats passing through Long’an. If he doesn’t care, what if it’s true?

What if it’s still like before, I’ll be sent to the slaughterhouse?

It would have been fine if he didn't know, but now, he learned the news in advance.

Although this feeling is a bit like being roasted on a fire, forcing you to do it, he feels that he still has to do it.

If it was fake news, he also had to figure out why this person wanted to target him.

He called everyone over, and seeing his serious expression, they all looked at each other in confusion, wondering what major event had happened to make him so nervous.

Looking at everyone's serious faces, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but cough twice.

Well, before I make things clear, I've scared everyone.

He spoke up to reassure everyone: "Don't be too nervous, everyone. I admit that I seem to be a little too nervous, but things haven't gotten out of control yet."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Yang Pei was the first to lose his temper.

"Hey, Brother Yang, don't be anxious, listen to what the master says..." Situ Fang hurriedly stopped him.

"How can I not be anxious? I am scared to death by him..." Yang Pei muttered, "Your master has always been calm even when facing a great pressure. How can I not be anxious today?"

Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows. Do I have such good self-control that I won't get anxious even if a mountain falls on my head? Old Yang, you think too highly of me.

He waved his hand to quiet everyone down, then took out the anonymous letter he had received yesterday from the table.

"It's like this. I received an anonymous letter yesterday. I'm not sure if this is true or not, because I asked someone to verify it today, but they all said they hadn't heard of such a thing. As everyone knows, our store is now quite famous. This matter may not be a big deal, but if it is true..." Lu Jingxing handed the letter out, because there were more than a dozen people attending the meeting.

Not all employees were allowed to attend. Only friends he invited and employees in the store who usually have some opinions participated.

Lu Jingxing did not allow grassroots employees or those who had never participated in a rescue to participate.

Therefore, before the meeting, Lu Jingxing made several copies of the anonymous letter so that it would be easier for everyone to pass around and read.

Everyone had already seen him speak.

Before he finished speaking, the beautiful reporter took over: "Are you afraid that if this is true and the other party has sent you an anonymous letter but you haven't taken any action, people will question you and post it online to criticize you?"

There was a hint of appreciation in Lu Jingxing's eyes. This was what he discussed and worried about with Ji Ling last night. After all, the sensitivity of being a reporter is different. He nodded: "Yes, this is one of the main reasons why I want to hold this meeting..."

"We now have more than 800 cats in our cattery, including those we rescued last time. This has exceeded the maximum number of our base. It says here that there are more than 1,000. We definitely won't be able to digest them all by ourselves." The speaker was Ding Fang.

She seldom speaks in such occasions, but she spoke without even raising her head, purely out of her understanding of the store.

Everyone's eyes fell on her.

The little girl suddenly felt everyone's gaze and blushed immediately after she finished speaking.

"Yes, what Ding Fang said is what I am worried about now. Our store is already overloaded. If a truckload of cats really comes to our Long'an now, I don't know where we can receive them. Moreover, we have dealt with such things several times. Although we have rich experience, this rich foundation is completed with the help of enough volunteers and enough caring people.

This is not an easy thing to do. I remember that when we intercepted a car for the first time, we were not in the lead. Now this matter is obviously directed at us. The other party wants us to be in the lead.

If we were to take charge, this matter would lead to a lot of problems." Lu Jingxing said with some worry.

"Yes, the cats and dogs in Mingzhou last time have not been completely dealt with yet. I have been in contact with Chen Mianmian and the others. I heard that many of the cats that could not be sent to the nearby base at the beginning were fine when they went there, but now they still have more or less problems. There are also many people questioning it on the Internet. Alas..." Situ Fang participated in the whole process of the last incident and he has a more comprehensive understanding of it.

"Knock knock knock..." The discussion was interrupted by a knock on the door: "Sorry, I'm late..." Sun Chongwu walked in hurriedly, looking at the people in the room, and looked at Lu Jingxing in a daze: "What happened? Why are there so many people? Eh? Who is this?"

He saw Yi Wandou sitting next to Lu Jingxing.

"Hello, Yi Wandou..." Seeing that Sun Chongwu seemed particularly interested in him, Yi Wandou quickly stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand and shook hands with him very gentlemanly.

"Hello, hello, Sun Chongwu, I've long heard of your name..." Sun Chongwu wiped his hands on his clothes before holding his hands with both, as if he was afraid of disrespecting Yi Wandou.

Everyone was amused by his appearance and the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

"Do you know my idol?" When Sun Chongwu just came in, Sun Xing pulled a chair from behind, put it between himself and Yi Wandou, and then pulled Sun Chongwu to sit down.

Sun Chongwu and Yi Wandou nodded and smiled slightly before answering Sun Xing: "Of course he knows him, but he doesn't know me. I like watching his videos." "But, you are afraid of snakes..." Sun Xing raised his voice uncontrollably.

When everyone heard what Sun Xing said, they started laughing again.

Sun Chongwu bumped into him and said, "What does my fear of snakes have to do with watching his videos... By the way, Lu, did you call us here because of the car of cats you mentioned? I asked a lot of people, but they all said they didn't know about it."

He brought the conversation back to the point.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "The problem now is also about this. We don't know whether this news is true or not..."

"It's always a good idea to take precautions, but how should we do it?" Liu Bingkun accidentally attended this meeting today.

He came here today to show Lu Jingxing the newly bred rabbit breeds and tell him about the store situation last year. He went back to his hometown before the New Year, and it happened to snow heavily in his hometown, so he didn't come here before the New Year.

This was the first time they had met in recent months. After the two of them handed over their work, it was time for a meeting, so Lu Jingxing invited him to attend the meeting together.

Before the meeting, Lu Jingxing did not tell him much about the content of the meeting. He only asked if he could make some suggestions. Liu Bingkun naturally would not refuse and followed him to the meeting room.

Liu Bingkun knew something about Lu Jingxing's car intercepting stray cats, but he had never participated in it, and had never even donated before. However, this time he inexplicably wanted to do something.

"We first need to know whether this is true or not..." the beautiful reporter spoke again.

"Yes, this is the first thing we need to do. The letter says it will be in the next two days. Since it is anonymous, we can't be sure of the exact day..." Lu Jingxing nodded.

"I'll ask someone to check. Since he said it was the national highway, he must have already been on it. It'll take two days, so it's probably a bit far from Long'an..." the beautiful reporter analyzed.

"It shouldn't be like this. It's too risky to have such a large truckload of cats on the road for two or three days." Yang Pei suddenly said in a very clear tone.

Everyone nodded, obviously agreeing with this.

"I think the person who wrote the letter might be the same person as the driver or the one who harvested the cats. He might have a change of heart and want to rescue the cats in the car, but he can't do it openly. And then, he also knows something about us, so he thought of finding us." Lu Jingxing thought for a while, looked at the original letter in his hand and said with his head down.

"So according to what you said, this car is not on the road now, and will not be on the road until two days later, or, will it pass by Long'an in two days?" The reporter also felt that everyone's analysis made sense.

"I think that we need to split our forces into several groups. Regardless of whether the news is true or not, we cannot just sit there and wait. We must inquire about the news on the road. Then, the other party only said that they might pass through Long'an, but whether they will enter Long'an is still an unknown. Then, when they come, which highway they will get off, or whether they will come directly from the national highway, is also unknown. We must act separately and arrange people to take care of several important intersections.

Another issue is placement. One thousand cats is not a small number, and we don’t know if there are any dogs. For example, there were both cats and dogs when we intercepted a car last time, and there were quite a few dogs. If there are any, they also need to be placed.

Ding Fang just said that our store is now overloaded, so we have to find a new place, which is a big problem.

Then, regarding volunteers, every rescue operation is inseparable from the help of volunteers, because it is impossible to handle so many cats and dogs relying on the store employees alone."

"But, we can't post it online when we're not sure whether the situation is true or not, right?" Situ Fang said.

"Yes, this is also a problem. We can only contact some of the volunteers who have helped us privately, and we can't make this matter too clear..." Lu Jingxing nodded.

"Yes, we can't say it publicly. We must tell the volunteers that this matter cannot be posted online. What if one or two people post this matter online and the other party sees it? They may not follow the original route and do not come to Long'an. Then this matter will be completely out of our control." Sun Chongwu has participated in many rescue operations and has dealt with many volunteers.

I know that some volunteers are network workers. When they find out about this kind of thing, they will definitely want to earn some traffic. This cannot be blamed on them, as they make a living from this. However, the nature of this situation is different.

"Yes, we must not alert the enemy. Those of us attending the meeting today must remember this. After we go out, try not to publicize this matter too much. Once we catch a car, it will be fine." Lu Jingxing nodded.

"Then let's divide the work. I'll try to find my connections in the transportation system and see if I can get the Transportation Bureau to help keep an eye out. If there are any cars like this, we'll stop them." The reporter took on the job.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. This way at least there will be some clues on the national highway, so we won't have to guess blindly. Ji'an, Xiaopang, take a few more people to the highway entrance in the next few days. This kind of car is very obvious, go and stake out." Lu Jingxing assigned tasks to everyone.

"Let me contact some volunteers. I have the contact information of many people. I have a rough idea of ​​which ones will listen to my advice and not post online and which ones may post..." said Sun Chongwu.

"What about us?" Sun Xing was anxious. He seemed to know nothing. He had only helped once, and it was Lu Jingxing who arranged it for him, which was to place the cats in their base.

"We also need to contact some nearby bases to see if there are any that can receive it. Moreover, this matter must be reported to the relevant departments. In case of emergency, we need to cooperate with the relevant departments above to decide how to deal with it." Lu Jingxing gave Sun Xing a calm look.

Sun Xing immediately stopped talking.

"That's right. It's necessary. If a carload of cats is not reported in advance, they may not be able to come in when the time comes..." Sun Chongwu knew these things too well. They once intercepted a car in a certain city, but because the higher authorities did not allow the cats to be accepted, they had to be transferred to another city before they were settled.

Of course, this situation should not happen in Long'an. After all, Lu Jingxing has already accepted it once last time. But who knows about this kind of thing? What if a new leader is appointed and he is unwilling to accept this kind of thing?

After all, with a car full of cats, who knows if there are some that are carrying infectious diseases? What if something unexpected happens?
If you do this kind of thing well, you will be praised by cat and dog lovers. If you do it badly, you will not only not get to eat the mutton but will also be covered in stench.

"I'll listen to the notice. Mr. Lu, just tell me what you need me to do. I've never done this kind of thing, so I really don't know how I can help. If it's about rabbits, I can help treat them or something..." Liu Bingkun said with some guilt because he couldn't help at all.

"Thank you for the trouble. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to attend this meeting..." Lu Jingxing smiled and patted his shoulder.

"That's it, I'll talk about the work arrangements again, and we'll act separately..." Lu Jingxing wrote down everyone's division of labor in his notebook and repeated it in comparison.
