start with a pet store

Chapter 1100: Don’t use doubters, but don’t doubt people when you employ them.

Situ Fang and Lu Jingxing looked at each other, thinking that this man surnamed Liu kept more than 300 cats in this small... Actually, it was not too small, with two floors, so it must be a villa of at least 300 or 400 square meters?
Without waiting for the two to communicate, the man surnamed Liu greeted them: "This is it. I made it specially for them. Xiao Wu, go open the door."

He didn't let the car in, but asked Xiao Wu's driver to run over quickly, press the code, and the door slowly opened.

The three of them then walked in together.

There is a large yard inside.

There is a glass house and a landscape pool in the yard. The surface of the pool is covered with a net, probably to prevent cats from falling in.

Hearing the noise, the two girls inside ran out.

Seeing Lu Jingxing and the others, they smiled at him.

One of them greeted the man surnamed Liu anxiously: "Uncle Liu, why are you back?" Then he hurried over to support him.

Uncle Liu laughed: "I missed the little ones, so I came back to see them. It's okay. I signed the consent form, and the doctor agreed to let me come out."

"I believe you, unless you sign a birth certificate..." The girl stopped talking and said, "Go in and sit down. Are you tired?"

Lu Jingxing and Situ Fang looked at each other. It seemed that this was someone specially hired by Uncle Liu, or a relative or something, to take care of his cats.

Since they came in, they have seen many cats.

The lower section of the outer wall is about one meter high and is made of cement, with a two-meter steel wire fence on top, so the cat definitely cannot get out.

What surprised everyone was that from the time Lu Jingxing and his friends came in until now, all they had seen were puppets, long-haired puppets, just in different colors. All of them were in good condition and not too shy.

From time to time, a few of them come over to rub against me and ask for hugs.

As soon as Uncle Liu entered the door, he was entangled by a glove-colored puppet.

The little guy rubbed against Uncle Liu first. Uncle Liu was held up by the girl and the driver. He wanted to bend down to hug it, but he couldn't.

The little guy ran forward a few steps, then lay down on the ground in front of them and started to act like a spoiled child.

Uncle Liu stopped and smiled, saying to the two of them, "I'm fine. Don't you think I'm in good spirits? Let me hug it. It misses me, too, right? I miss them, too..."

"Just spoil him..." The girl stamped her feet, bent down, picked up the little guy, and put him in Uncle Liu's arms.

Uncle Liu turned around and said to Lu Jingxing and the others, "You can walk around first. I won't go upstairs with you. Lingling, take Doctor Lu and the others upstairs to take a look..."

"Doctor Lu? Are you Uncle Liu's doctor?" asked the girl named Lingling.

"Oh, no, I forgot to introduce you..." Uncle Liu smiled and touched the little guy, and sat down on the sofa.

"It's okay, Uncle Liu, we can do it ourselves. I'm the doctor in the pet shop. Uncle Liu, please take us to see his cats. Thank you for taking us around..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Okay, then Xiaoqian, pour Uncle Liu a cup of hot tea. Doctor Lu and I will go upstairs..." Lingling said to the girl who helped Uncle Liu sit down.

Xiaoqian nodded.

Lingling led the two of them to the right.

"Are you planning to take over Uncle Liu's cats?" Lingling asked.

"Let's take a look first, what is the total number here?" Lu Jingxing nodded slightly.

"There are currently 352 of them..."

"It seems like all I see are puppets?" Situ Fang asked.

Lingling nodded: "Yes, they are all long-haired stuffed dolls. Uncle Liu bought them from all over the place. I came here two years ago. There weren't so many at first. Uncle Liu bought them over the years, and slowly there are so many."

"Uncle Liu really has a special liking for puppets..." Lu Jingxing sighed.

"That's right. We also asked him why he only collected dolls. Although the little ones are indeed very cute, there are so many cute varieties, right? But he refused to tell us. Haha, we don't know either..." Lingling said with a smile.

She bent down and picked up a little guy. It was a rare flame-colored ragdoll. Moreover, it should be quite old, as its white fur had gradually turned yellow.

This is one of the signs of its age.

Lingling smiled with difficulty and said, "It's the oldest of these cubs, already over ten years old. It's very clingy, doesn't cause trouble, and is quite lovable..."

"It's the color of flame, right, Brother Lu? Is this the color of flame?" Situ Fang was inexplicably excited.

Lu Jingxing glanced at him and smiled: "Is it the color of flame?"

"Yes, Uncle Liu said yes. There are a few others, but it is the most beautiful. The others are not as pretty as it, but it has the best temper. Uncle Liu likes it the most." Lingling smiled.

Perhaps everyone has already adapted to Uncle Liu's physical condition, so there isn't that depressing atmosphere.

When the little ones saw the people coming, their first reaction was not to run around, but to just look up and look at them.

The second floor is not divided into several rooms like other houses. It is just a large room. Once you go up, you will reach the cat paradise.

There was a big cylinder in the middle with many partitions on it. Many little guys were lying lazily on the partitions, looking down at them from a high position.

The few of them walked around for a long time, and when they came down, each of them had a cat in his hand.

Uncle Liu changed another one and stood at the gate, looking at the little guys in the yard with a look of reluctance.

Hearing the noise, he turned around, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he greeted Lu Jingxing: "I'm down. How are the little ones? Are they all okay..."

Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded: "They are all good. These ones are very friendly and quite likable."

"The little ones here are all lovable, clingy, and not afraid of people..." He smiled and walked inside: "Sit over here..."

Situ Fang said, "Master, can I go outside and take a look?" "Go ahead, do you want Lingling to take you?" Uncle Liu asked.

"No, no, I can go around by myself, no need to trouble you." Situ Fang waved his hands repeatedly.

After saying that, he walked out.

Lingling didn't accompany them either. After pouring a glass of water for each of them, she went about her own business.

After all, there are so many cats, and there are only her and Xiaoqian, so there is still a lot to do every day. But the good thing is that the little ones have developed good habits. However, the task of shoveling cat litter every day is still quite specific.

There is a lot of garbage to be cleaned out every day.

Lu Jingxing knew the workload for the two of them, and it was definitely not small.

The two sat down, and Uncle Liu said directly: "How about it, Xiao Lu, take it?"

"Didn't you say that I have to answer it..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Haha, yes, that's what I said..." Uncle Liu laughed: "I've asked, Xiaoqian and Lingling are willing to continue here, and there is also a young man who is here at night, they can all continue to do it, if you are willing, I will give them their salary for five years.

You don't have to worry too much, just help me look after them. I can actually pick one of them to take charge of this, but they are all too young and haven't settled down yet. I don't dare to take the risk, so I've chosen you..."

"Thank you, Uncle Liu, for your kindness..."

"These are all puppets of yours. If you sell them, a lot of people will want them..." Situ Fang came in from outside and sighed.

Although some of them may be seven or eight years old, there are many who may be three or four, or two or three years old. And the key point is that these little ones are all beautiful, and it only takes a minute to show them off.

"I'm not short of money. I don't raise them for money. Young man, if I wanted to sell them, why would I go to all the trouble to find you? I could just find a cat dealer. There are plenty of people who want them, but I don't want to. I just want to find someone to take good care of them..." Uncle Liu frowned.

"That's not what I meant. I just think your cats are so cute." Situ Fang apologized quickly.

"That's right. No one who has come here says that there are any that don't look good. Many people ask me for them, but I never sell them. Occasionally, if I meet someone who really likes them, I will give them one or two, but those are only for the right people." Uncle Liu then turned around and smiled.

"I can take over, but I may not be able to find a place to put them so quickly. After all, the conditions here are so good. It will take me some time to find a place with such good conditions..." Lu Jingxing said after thinking for a while.

"There's no rush. You can keep using my place. I'll give you this house. I'll make a will..." Uncle Liu waved his hand, as if this was a very small matter.

"Ah?" Not only Situ Fang, but even Lu Jingxing was stunned.

"You mean, after I take over them, you will give this house away along with them?" Lu Jingxing couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yeah, is there a problem? You can't bring things with you when you are born and you can't take them with you when you die. Besides, this house is not worth much. I just spent some money on decorating it, but it has been several years. It is not worth much in our current place. Don't feel guilty. As long as you can treat them well, I think it's worth it. Of course, I think you will treat them well, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you." Uncle Liu laughed.

Lu Jingxing and Situ Fang looked at each other again. They really didn't expect this to happen.

Lu Jingxing could accept these cats, but he felt unworthy of accepting this house.

Uncle Liu saw his hesitation and said, "There's nothing to worry about. I'll explain that you have the permanent right to use the house. When those little guys are gone, if you still don't want the house, you can donate it. That should be fine, right..."

"This..." It was the first time that Lu Jingxing encountered such a situation and he was a little undecided.

Uncle Liu made a phone call.

After a while, the driver Xiao Wu came in and handed a briefcase to Uncle Liu.

He took out a few documents and pushed them in front of Lu Jingxing: "Sign it, I don't have much time. I'm going back to the hospital today. I don't know when I'll be able to come out next time, and I may not be able to come out again. If you sign, I can go back with peace of mind."

His tone of voice was indescribably calm when he said this, but everyone present felt very heavy-hearted.

In particular, the two girls, Lingling and Xiaoqian, who were standing a little far away from the frame, had red eyes.

Lu Jingxing saw the information on the desk.

One cat transfer agreement and one house transfer agreement.

Lu Jingxing looked up at Uncle Liu.

"I know you will accept them. To be honest, I have carefully studied what you have done over the years. You are a person who loves small animals. You have rescued many stray cats and dogs for free, and even weasels. So, I believe you will treat these little guys of mine well.

My wife's biggest wish was to raise many dolls, but I was always busy with work and I didn't fulfill her wish until she passed away. I raised these little guys for her, but I can't always be with them. From now on, please help me protect them..."

So this is the reason why Uncle Liu left the company to raise so many puppets?

Lu Jingxing also estimated that the house here was indeed not particularly valuable, so it would be no problem for him to use it to raise these little guys temporarily.

The conditions of this house are indeed very suitable for the little ones to live in, and he will not change their living environment for the time being.

After opening the agreement, Lu Jingxing was shocked by one of the clauses: "Uncle Liu, this... how can this..."

This is a huge sum of money. For Lu Jingxing, although he has seen the world, if this is given to him, for now, he and Uncle Liu can only be considered strangers. So how can he give him such a huge sum of money?

Does he really trust himself? He is not afraid that he will swallow the money directly. He really can't calm down.

"You don't have to doubt it. I don't know why I trust you so much, but that's just who I am. If I doubt someone, I won't employ him. If I employ someone, I won't doubt him. I have chosen you, so this is for you. If you don't do as we say, then I can only accept this defeat.

These are left for them. I roughly calculated their monthly expenses, which is about ten years. As for, ten years later, you will have to bear the cost. You can afford it, right? Moreover, ten years later, if you don't add to it, I guess there will be a lot less to pay for, and the burden will become lighter and lighter...

Of course, many of them are only two or three years old, so in ten years there will still be many little ones alive, and you may be at a loss, but I believe you won’t care about these, right…” Uncle Liu really touched Lu Jingxing’s heart.

"But, we've only known each other for such a short time, aren't you worried..." Lu Jingxing still found it a little unbelievable.

"Haha, you don't understand me, so it's normal for you to think this way. I'm not giving you these without any conditions, am I? You must take good care of them until they grow old. Of course, as I said before, if you think there is someone who is really suitable to adopt them, you can adopt them out. I don't object. I just hope they won't get hurt. This is my only request." Uncle Liu said with a smile.

"Thank you for your trust..." Lu Jingxing bowed deeply.
