start with a pet store

Chapter 1094 Don’t judge people by their appearance

"Well, I haven't been there for a long time, so I don't know the details. However, I can ask my landlord, he should know." Liu Bingkun said after thinking for a while.

"Then thank you for your help. Please ask first. If there is any, I will go over and take a look. I will trouble you with your side first." Lu Jingxing said.

"I'm being polite. I was planning to clean up the place anyway. Let's just consider it as doing it in advance. If there really were a group of cats like this, it would be considered as my contribution. If there weren't that car of cats, I would have cleaned up the place anyway. It's okay." Liu Bingkun was telling the truth. He wanted to help out anyway, and he would be willing to do so if he could help.

"Thank you in advance. No matter if there is any warehouse nearby, we have your warehouse. At least we won't be afraid of being panicked if such a situation occurs..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Yeah, do you want me to prepare some cages or something to put over there? Is there anything else I need to prepare besides cleaning?" Liu Bingkun asked.

"Please arrange for the cleaning first. I'll go check it out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when I'm free. As for cages and other things, if you have them, I'll prepare some for you. If you need to buy them last minute, forget it. I still have some in stock in my store. We'll talk about it then."

The two discussed the details for a while, and then Liu Bingkun got up and left.

After the reporter left, he went straight to find a classmate from the Transportation Bureau and told him what he knew about Lu Jingxing.

She has a pretty close relationship with the Transportation Bureau, not just as a classmate, so after some inquiries, she found out that the basic situation has been basically deployed, and they are just waiting to see when that car will be connected to the network.

She called Lu Jingxing back and told him about her situation.

Lu Jingxing really didn't expect that she was so active and couldn't help but admire her a few times.

Thinking about it this way, I still have to work harder on my side.

So another call was made to the cat food factory to find Chai Jianming.

Chai Jianming was working hard in the workshop. When he saw Lu Jingxing's call, he ran out immediately: "Boss Lu, what instructions do you have?"

Lu Jingxing wouldn't look for him easily, and usually when he did, it was for something urgent.

Lu Jingxing didn't say much, and explained the situation to him: "Well, you prepare a few tons of cat food for me in the next few days, and some dog food as well. Prepare them first. When the matter is confirmed, I will call you and you can help me load the truck and send it over."

"Okay, no problem. We have been working hard these days and we just happen to have a batch of stock..." Chai Jianming said with a smile.

Every time Lu Jingxing came to him, he never went back on his word. No matter how difficult it was, he would take it on immediately. Lu Jingxing was particularly satisfied with this point about him.

Of course, he was just watching it, so it wouldn't be something that would be too difficult for him.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingxing remembered one more thing, which was cat litter.

If the feces is not handled properly, the smell produced by a thousand cats can be nasty.

He had experienced this once last time in Minnesota.

At that time, no one considered this aspect, and the weather was hot, and the warehouse was small. This was one of the reasons why the surrounding merchants complained and asked us to move out.

This time, he had to think about it in advance.

As he was thinking, the phone rang: "Hello?"

"Jingxing, Doctor Gangliang said that Professor Meng agreed to come and the surgery will be scheduled for tomorrow..." The little voice of the person in the conversation could not help but be excited.

Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows, finally hearing good news: "How is Auntie's condition? What did the doctor say?"

"She's feeling fine. She's in better spirits these past two days than before. I didn't know she knew about her illness, and I was very worried. Later, Dr. Liang did some ideological work for her. When she heard that you had asked a professor to perform the surgery on her personally, she agreed very readily. Thank you, I..." The childhood friend expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

"What are you thanking me for? Do we have to say this? Didn't you help me in the same way before? Besides, I'm really angry." Lu Jingxing pretended to be angry and said, "What time is the surgery tomorrow?"

"The doctor didn't say anything, and told us to wait for notification, so I don't know either. Well, I have hired a nurse, and my wife and I will be here tomorrow. I know you are very busy, so you don't have to come. I will call you after the operation..." The childhood friend's eyes were slightly red.

He is an only child, and he has always had to deal with any problems at home by himself. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Lu Jingxing was his real brother who helped him overcome such a big difficulty.

"Okay, I got it. I'll ask Meng Qi. By the way, did you call him?" Lu Jingxing had no idea what his childhood friend was thinking at the moment, so he just nodded and asked.

"Ah? I didn't. Well, I bullied him when we were in school. I didn't dare..." The childhood friend recalled the time when he played a prank on Meng Qi because he was small. He scratched his head and said with a guilty conscience.

"Haha, that was so many years ago, how could people remember it? Okay, I didn't tell him that it was your mother. I'll call and ask." Lu Jingxing heard the guilty voice and said with a smile.

"Okay, then let me know if you ask so I can prepare." My childhood friend quickly agreed and hung up the phone.

Lu Jingxing listened to the beeping sound coming from the phone and shook his head helplessly. This guy, why don't I remember him teasing Meng Qi? It can't be too much.

He called Meng Qi.

This time, Meng Qi answered the call quickly.

"Professor Meng, it seems that there will be no surgery at the moment. I hope I don't disturb you." Lu Jingxing said politely.

"What's the point of calling me Professor Meng? Just call me Qizi. By the way, I called your department and scheduled the surgery for tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. Did you know?" Meng Qi said.

"I know, I know. I called you specially to thank you. Thank you so much, old classmate. I'm really sorry to bother you. You really helped me a lot." Lu Jingxing thanked him profusely.

"Alright, alright. If you keep thanking me in such a flowery way, I won't go tomorrow." Meng Qi snorted.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'm grateful for your kindness, but this is the second time you've helped me, so I have to show my appreciation. Do you think the operation will be completed tomorrow? Would you mind letting me treat you to a meal?" Lu Jingxing said quickly with a smile.

"Depending on the operation, it is estimated to take more than four hours. Including anesthesia, it will take about five to six hours. You can arrange dinner..." Meng Qi said with a smile.

"Okay, it's settled. I'll arrange dinner. By the way, do you still remember Luo Yuan?" Luo Yuan is Lu Jingxing's childhood friend.

"Luo Yuan? Oh, oh, oh, remember Yuan Pangpang? He had a chubby face and a chubby appearance when he was in school. At that time, he always liked to bully little girls, and he also bullied me." Meng Qi laughed when he thought of Luo Yuan.

"Yes, that's him. You don't hold a grudge, do you? Haha..." Lu Jingxing couldn't help laughing when he thought of asking this. "Yes, of course I won't. If I see him again, I will definitely fight him back... So, are you going to call him tomorrow night?" Meng Qi said with a smile.

"I have to ask you to call back, right? Well, the aunt I was talking about is his mother. The patient you will be operating on tomorrow is Luo Yuan's mother..." Lu Jingxing thought for a moment and said. After all, they will meet tomorrow. If he didn't say it, it would be awkward when they met.

"Oh? Really? Okay, okay, then I get it. Don't worry about the operation, there will be no problem. Tell him not to have any psychological burden, and let's wait and have a meal together tomorrow night." Meng Qi didn't react much to who the patient was. No matter who it was, he would do his best. Moreover, he had seen all the results. The operation was difficult, but it would not be difficult for him.

"Okay, how are you going to get here tomorrow? I'll pick you up," Lu Jingxing asked.

"You're busy too. No need. I can just take a taxi or ask the hospital to send one. I'll fly back."

"It's okay. I'm going to the hospital anyway. I'll pick you up at the airport at any time." Lu Jingxing insisted.

"Okay, we'll be there at 9:15. This trip will basically not be late, so we should be able to arrive on time." Meng Qi said nothing more.

After the two of them made an appointment, Lu Jingxing quickly called Luo Yuan back.

With accurate time, things can be arranged better.

After arranging this matter, Lu Jingxing started to arrange his own affairs.

In addition to giving acupuncture to a cat today, there is also a paralyzed Corgi in the second store. Yang Pei said she wanted to let him try acupuncture, and the owner is still waiting.

There is another operation to be performed, so it seems I won’t be able to get off work early today.

The amazing thing is that he was originally planning to adjust the time of tomorrow's surgery, but after checking, he found that there was no surgery scheduled for tomorrow. This was a bit too much of a coincidence.

After checking the time, he stood up and walked out.

"I'm going to the second store for acupuncture. When Afang comes back, tell him to wait for me in the office and go to the next operation with me." He said as he walked out and ran into Ding Fang who had just seen off a customer.

"Okay, where is Afang? It seems like he hasn't been seen since the meeting." Ding Fang stood on tiptoe and looked inside.

"I'm going to see a patient. I should be back soon." Lu Jingxing replied.

As he spoke, he walked outside.

Ding Fang said "oh".

Yang Pei from the second store was a little surprised to see Lu Jingxing: "You came so soon? I thought you would need a while..."

"There will be an operation soon. What about the Corgi? What's the situation?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"The owner took it to the backyard. Dangdang, go call the owner of the Corgi..." He shouted to an employee squatting at the back door, then turned around and said, "The owner said that he has taken it to many places. Some people said it had neuritis, myelitis, and some said it was calcium deficient. Anyway, he did a lot of tests and treatments, but to no avail. It just keeps running with its two hind legs..."

The two of them walked towards Yang Pei's office while talking.

Yang Pei picked up the documents that the Corgi's owner had placed on his desk and gave them to Lu Jingxing: "Look, these are all the tests he did. I wanted to say that these were not done by us and we had to do them again, but from what the owner said, he was not willing to do them again. Yes, he has done so many things, except for the MRI, and he probably spent a lot of money, so I can understand. He came here because he heard from others that acupuncture is useful.

And you are the only one in Longan who is famous for giving acupuncture to pets, so I came here directly.

I originally wanted him to go to a store to find you, but I thought it would be the same if you came, so I let you come."

Lu Jingxing quickly flipped through the information in his hand, automatically filtering out Yang Pei's nagging: "I didn't do an MRI, and I didn't do a CT scan either."

"Oh, he said he did a CT scan, but he didn't show it..." Yang Pei responded.

Knock knock knock, an employee named Dangdang came in with the owner holding the corgi.

"This is the Doctor Lu you mentioned..." Yang Pei introduced to the other party.

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly and nodded to the other party in greeting.

The host was a man in his fifties. He looked Lu Jingxing up and down and didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Jingxing was originally reading the medical records, and was inexplicably stared at by him. He looked up and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Are you Dr. Lu Jingxing, who is very good at surgery, acupuncture, and pet Chinese medicine?" he asked in disbelief.

"My name is Lu Jingxing, but I don't know if it's me you're talking about. Is there any problem?" Lu Jingxing asked again.

"You are so young, perhaps twenty? You need at least ten years of experience in Chinese medicine and surgery to be praised as such a great expert, right?" He seemed particularly unconvinced.

Yang Pei was also stunned by the Corgi owner's unreasonable question at first, but after hearing what he said, he laughed first: "Uncle, there is an old saying that goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. Our Doctor Lu's fame is not our own doing, it is indeed recognized by everyone. As for his age, he is more than 20 years old. Well, he looks quite young, but not 20 years old, haha..."

"That's right. My niece introduced it to me and asked me to bring it to you. She said you must have a way. However, this young man is right. Don't judge a book by its cover. I should have believed you. Can you see the problem? What's wrong with it?" The owner didn't hesitate and asked while looking at the checklist in Lu Jingxing's hand.

Lu Jingxing frowned slightly, then reached out and took the little guy from his owner's hands. After caressing him for a while, he put the little guy on the ground.

After looking at the old man for a while, he said, "Looking at the medical records you provided, its condition is definitely not caused by calcium deficiency, and I think you have given it calcium supplements. As for common neuritis and myelitis, it should not be the case..."

"Yes, yes. At first the hospital said it was calcium deficient, so I gave it supplements and sent it for injections, but there was no effect. He also had injections for neuritis and myelitis, but there was no effect." The owner half-knelt down, nodding his head as he watched the Corgi dragging its legs around the house.

"According to preliminary estimates, the paralysis was caused by compression of the nerves in the lumbar spine, with the compression being around 20%..." said Lu Jingxing.

"Amazing..." The half-squatting owner suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted.

Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei were both shocked.
