start with a pet store

Chapter 1093 The Father Who Tricks His Child
The reporter arranged the work for himself.

Yi Wandou and other people waited for Lu Jingxing to finish deploying the work plan. After everyone left, he stood up as well: "You seem to have forgotten me." He still seemed a little aggrieved.

After hearing this, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but laugh: "How could it be, you are such an important person, how could I forget about you."

"Then..." Yi Wandou spread his hands and pointed to the already empty meeting room.

"Come on, go to my office and sit down. I need your help with something else." Lu Jingxing walked out with a smile.

Yi Wandou also followed.

When Ding Fang saw that everyone had come out, she asked them to go in and clean up together.

Lu Jingxing and Yi Wandou entered the office together.

"Please sit down..." Lu Jingxing pointed at the sofa, walked to the shelf behind the desk, took out a box of tea and shook it: "Would you like some tea?"

"Tea..." Yi Wandou didn't know what Lu Jingxing was up to. He received the message and he happened to be in Long'an, so he came over immediately.

However, I didn't seem to have any ideas about what he was talking about.

He was feeling a little frustrated, but when he heard him say it was for other things, he gained some confidence.

He didn't come here to feel frustrated.

Lu Jingxing opened a box of newly acquired good tea and made a cup of tea for Yi Wandou.

He didn't like Kung Fu tea, but he knew that Yi Wandou liked drinking tea. When he first found out, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yi Wandou, so young, actually liked drinking tea.

Yi Wandou took the teacup and smelled it: "Well, not bad, you are wasting your money..." he said with a smile.

"I bought it in Gangcheng a while ago. The tea seller said that this tea was particularly good. I didn't understand it, but I bought some anyway. Look, I haven't opened it yet because I'm afraid I'll waste it." Lu Jingxing smiled and handed the tea box to Yi Wandou.

"It really works..." Yi Wandou took a small sip and couldn't help but exclaim in praise again.

"It's like this. The reason I came to see you today is not entirely about the Maoche meeting, but because I'm going to open a new store in Gangcheng, which will be quite big, and I wanted to ask if you're interested..." Gangcheng and Zhao Jingming have already discussed the matter of starting a company with Zhao's father. He learned yesterday that Yi Wandou had returned to Long'an, so he took the opportunity of the Maoche meeting to call him over as well.

It is now under construction.

He wanted to get it done in one go this time, and didn't want to be like here, adding a little today and building a little tomorrow.

Reptiles have always been an ideal window for him, so when he wanted to find some more professional people to join in, Yi Wandou was his first choice.

"Oh?" Yi Wandou was a little surprised: "How big are you going to make it?"

"The company's area is quite considerable. As for how big the reptiles should be, it depends on whether you are interested." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

He felt that with Yi Wandou's fame, it should not be difficult to open up the market for reptiles there.

"Sure, but I have to go to the scene to see the situation before I can reply to you..." Yi Wandou did not agree immediately: "It's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, it's just because I have a contract and I have to do it myself. I have to talk to my contract company before I can do it."

"I forgot about this..." Lu Jingxing slapped his head. Yi Wandou could be considered half an artist, but the two of them had never discussed this matter, so he didn't think about it in this regard.

“Ah, when you mention this, I just…” Yi Wandou sighed deeply, “Brother, you don’t know, I felt so fucking miserable when I signed that contract. Don’t worry if you laugh at me, but my dad signed the contract without telling me, and I didn’t even know about it. Well, by the time I found out, it was too late. Ten years, a full ten years. I was…”

Yi Wandou looked painful.

"You mean your father signed a ten-year contract with the agent without your consent?" Lu Jingxing was really shocked. He was really a father who was betraying his child.

"Yes, fortunately, the company is not that deceptive. They allow me to do things like networking on my own. But if I want to set up a company or an individual, I have to do it in the name of an agency. So, you should consider this matter. I want to cooperate with you. There is a saying in the Longan circle now that those who follow you, Lu Jingxing, to invest will never lose money. But, you treat me as a brother, and I can't harm you. If the agency wants to get involved, you probably won't be so comfortable." Yi Wandou said the truth.

As for the fact that his father signed the contract without his knowledge, not many people knew about it. After all, it was signed without his knowledge, and it was a family disgrace. It was necessary not to make family disgrace public.

As for why Lu Jingxing approached him, one reason was that it was related to the program he was working on, and another reason was that he wanted to pull him together to make it bigger and stronger.

He appreciated the favor.

"I really didn't expect it to be like this. As long as you are willing, I..." Lu Jingxing was a little emotional, and the words were already spoken.

"No, no, no, Brother Lu, I know what you're thinking, but this is no small matter. I won't invest, but I can apply to the company to go to your place to produce a program every once in a while, or directly do a program there with your base as the background. In this way, your popularity will be raised, and you don't need to sign a contract with our company, just a cooperative relationship will be fine. Do you think it's okay?" Yi Wandou thought about it, interrupted Lu Jingxing, and quickly came up with a plan.

"This, this is possible, but you..." Lu Jingxing naturally knew that this was the best solution at the moment and the most beneficial plan for him.

"That's settled then. Next time you go to Gangcheng, give me a call and I'll go with you. Although I won't be a shareholder, I can still offer my advice. Just don't blame me for being nosy." Yi Wandou said with a smile.

"Look at what you said. Being able to invite you to give guidance means that I have done a promotion for the first time, and I still blame you. You are giving me a huge face." Lu Jingxing also laughed.

"By the way, I can recommend someone to you. I don't know if you know him, but he's rich and has a lot of free time. He also has a special interest in reptiles and pets. He used to run a shop in Long'an, but he didn't open it in the end. He has contacted me a lot over the years, and he has been talking about opening a shop, but he hasn't found a suitable partner." Yi Wandou took a sip of tea and suddenly said.

"Is he from Long'an?" Lu Jingxing asked back, "I know a few people in Long'an who have run reptile businesses. Who are you talking about?"

He really couldn't remember who this person was for a moment. The main reason was that all the reptiles that Long'an had kept were small-time pets, and he didn't think there was anyone who would make Yi Wandou so concerned.

"No, he's from Nan County. He used to run a reptile shop in Nan County, but later sold the shop and let the girl in the shop run away with the new employer. I heard him say that..." Yi Wandou said. "Are you talking about He Gang? He Gang from Nan County, tall, right? His family is rich..." Lu Jingxing said, slapping his thigh.

"Oh, yes, I said you should know him. After all, Nan County is not far away, and you are interested in reptiles..." Yi Wandou laughed after hearing this.

"Hey, you are talking about him. The new employer you mentioned is me. Haha, I took over his shop. Not entirely, his shop was closed, and I took over the reptiles in his shop. Oh, and the little girl you mentioned. The little girl is still in our store now. Eighty to ninety percent of the reptiles in my shop are from him." Lu Jingxing laughed when he heard it.

Over the past year, he hadn't had much contact with He Gang. He heard from Sun Xing that he seemed to have come two or three times, but he had never met him once. He didn't expect that he would become famous in Yi Wandou's circle and people would talk about him. It seemed that the guy's enthusiasm remained unabated.

"That's even easier. He's been pestering me to do it with him. It's not that I'm afraid that he can't do it, but mainly because of the reason just now. It's ten years, and only three have passed. I still have seven years to go, and I have to wait..." Yi Wandou felt bitter just thinking about it.

Lu Jingxing didn't know how to comfort him: "Can't you cancel the contract?"

"I want to, but the penalty is an astronomical figure. My foolish father, ah... forget it, let's talk about me. You can contact He Gang. Of course, this is just what I said. As for whether to cooperate with him, you should think about it. Don't think that you have to give face to me because I introduced you. You can do everything on your own."

He thought for a moment and said, "How about I call him and ask him to contact you? If you call him, it will be hard for you to say if he is not suitable. If I call him and tell him that you want to cooperate with me, it will be easier for you to say if you think he is not suitable."

He nodded again after he finished speaking: "Yes, that's how it should be."

Lu Jingxing was really touched by his action: "Thank you, I have dealt with him before, but I know that he can't stay in the store. However, if he is willing to go to Hong Kong City, it would be a good choice. He has so many years of experience in reptiles and pets. Moreover, I have a general understanding of him. He is a straightforward person."

"That's right, he's a pretty nice guy." Yi Wandou nodded in agreement. He and He Gang met by chance, but they have known each other for many years. That guy is a bit playful, but he is a nice person. And as Lu Jingxing said, he is straightforward and not someone who likes to care about things, otherwise he would not have recommended him to Lu Jingxing.

"It's okay for me to call him. We know each other anyway, so I'll just talk to him..." Lu Jingxing also had a plan in mind and said with a smile.

"That's fine. You decide. Anyway, there's no problem with what I said. I can tell the company about it and they will agree. There won't be any extra trouble." Yi Wandou said affirmatively. He suddenly saw the clock on the wall: "Oh no, I have to go. I have a live broadcast at 2:30."

He stood up and took the tea box on the table. "Give it to me. Which store in Hong Kong did you buy it from? I'll go check it out next time I go there..."

Lu Jingxing smiled and stood up, then quickly walked to the office cabinet: "There is still one box. Two boxes are enough for a while. I will bring you more when I go over there."

"Okay, this is indeed enough for me to drink for a while. That's it. I'll leave first. I'll contact you if you have anything..." Yi Wandou picked up the tea leaves without hesitation and walked out like the wind. It was a bit rushed to get to the live broadcast room from here. While talking, he actually forgot the time.

Lu Jingxing accompanied him until he got into the car before returning.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw Liu Bingkun coming out of the amusement park and walking towards him: "Brother Liu..." Lu Jingxing waved his hand to greet him.

He was just about to open the store when he received a phone call about something, so he left first. Lu Jingxing didn't even have time to ask what it was about.

Liu Bingkun trotted over and came to Lu Jingxing: "Oh, just a small matter. There is a new employee in the store. She delivered goods from the factory, and she didn't understand what was going on. She knew I was here, so she asked me to go over and see if the meeting was closed?" He looked inside and saw Ding Fang also working in the front.

Lu Jingxing was so leisurely again, he scratched his head embarrassedly: "Sorry, I left before I finished the meeting."

Lu Jingxing smiled and patted his shoulder: "What's the big deal? It has nothing to do with your rabbit..."

"Well, I'll donate some cat food and dog food then. I can't do other things, but this should be no problem." Liu Bingkun thought for a long time before coming up with this idea.

"No, you can do me a favor..." Lu Jingxing shook his head and said with a smile.

"Oh? You said, as long as I can help, I will do my best..." Liu Bingkun said immediately.

"Let's go in and have a cup of tea..." Lu Jingxing put his hand on his shoulder.

After hearing this, Liu Bingkun followed him to the office without saying a word.

Liu Bingkun sat down in the same place where Yi Wandou had just sat.

Lu Jingxing took another box of tea from the cabinet: "Don't be disgusted, I just gave two boxes of good tea to Wan Dou. This is the only ordinary tea here. However, you can still choose, Pu'er or Maojian?"

Liu Bingkun waved his hand and said, "Hey, I don't care. I can drink cold water."

Lu Jingxing smiled and took a box of Maojian tea and made him a cup of tea.

Then she sat down on the sofa opposite him and said, "I remember Brother Liu seemed to have a warehouse in the suburbs. It turned out that he raised too many rabbits or something."

"Oh, yes, I'm still renting it, but I haven't used it for a long time and I haven't been there. I thought the rent was not expensive, so I haven't returned it..." Liu Bingkun nodded repeatedly.

"How big is the area?" Lu Jingxing asked.

He knew about it, but had never been there.

"The warehouse is more than 400 square meters, and there is a yard, which together is about 1,000 square meters. Do you want to rent it?" Liu Bingkun asked.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, you can raise rabbits, and it should be no problem to raise cats. If this is true, I would like to rent your warehouse for a while..."

"Oh, yes, you are discussing that there is no place to put the rabbit. Why didn't I think of this? Why rent? I am already renting one. You can just arrange for it to be moved in when the time comes. Oh, no, I will arrange someone to clean it up in the next two days. At that time, the environment there was not very good, so I just cleaned it up roughly. It was not very clean. Leave it to me and I will arrange it properly." Liu Bingkun said, patting his chest.

Lu Jingxing laughed after hearing this: "I knew I was right to find you. I wonder if there is any suitable place nearby?"
