start with a pet store

Chapter 911 Nothing can be done without rules

Liu Bingkun took Lu Jingxing over with a wry smile.

The factory in Angola is clean, without any garbage or smell.

"Why is this factory so clean?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"There are fewer rabbits here, and the breeds are different, so the difficulty of raising them is also different. No one wants these pet rabbits unless they are kept beautiful." Liu Bingkun explained patiently.

Lu Jingxing lowered his head and walked inside. There were basically only one or two rabbits in each grid, and there was a running water supply, which was better than what many pet cats and dogs ate.

Liu Bingkun recommended to Lu Jingxing as they walked: "Look at this one, it's also very beautiful, this one is also very furry..."

Lu Jingxing looked and picked, and picked out a few that he liked. One had a red mark on its head like a third eye, one was pure white but its eyes were a little squinting, and there was a brown one that only knew how to eat. He was still eating after he picked it up.

The dwarf rabbits there are all pretty much the same, so I picked out a few with some unique features, like the one that was lying down and sleeping and the one that fell asleep while eating.

Liu Bingkun was sweating as he watched Lu Jingxing choose. The look in the pet shop owner's eyes was really weird.

Lu Jingxing had almost finished choosing, and looking at Boss Liu, who looked a little distressed, he smiled and said, "What's wrong? Don't you like choosing?"

“No, no, even if I don’t like to be picky, then since you, Mr. Lu, are here, you have to make an exception…” Liu Bingkun laughed.

Lu Jingxing also laughed after hearing this. Who doesn’t like to hear nice words?

He looked at the seven or eight in the cage and said, "That's right. I'm not doing this for myself. Mr. Lin said he wouldn't be back for a few days, and you were in a hurry, so he asked me to help choose. So, I got this task temporarily. Okay, I know it's hard for you to say it yourself, so I've told Mr. Lin everything I need to say. I'm really sorry, I'll just hand it over to you later..."

"Thank you so much. Actually, I still feel a little embarrassed. It's not that I have much disagreement with General Manager Lin. Generally speaking, it's because the headquarters didn't plan well, which embarrassed us, so I just did it myself. I have been running the factory for so many years, and I don't have much experience to be in charge of such a store. Forget it, let's not talk about it. It's all in the past..." Liu Bingkun said.

Lu Jingxing patted his shoulder and said, "Yes, yes, let's not talk about it anymore. It's all in the past. If you have anything in the future, just call me directly."

He didn't know what exactly happened in Tuka, but after listening to what Lin and Liu said, he knew something. However, the intrigues in this kind of work were not what he was good at, so he naturally didn't want to get involved. However, Liu Bingkun came to him and said this, so he couldn't refuse him.

As for coming here to see the rabbits today and bringing some back, he was entrusted by someone. Originally, he just wanted to come and take a look. Just when he was on the way, Mr. Lin called him and what he said was almost the same as what Liu Bingkun said.

He said a lot, and in the end, he meant: "Let's just let those things go. I beg Mr. Lu to mediate between us. To be honest, we have been looking for rabbit sources recently. We have searched in many places, and I don't know if it's because of the climate or something else. The little guys were fine when we bought them, but they got sick not long after, and then they died..."

When Lu Jingxing heard this, he was surprised: "Sick? Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

This question made Mr. Lin speechless. He suddenly felt speechless. The little rabbit died just like that. He really had never thought about whether he should ask a doctor to take a look. He felt ashamed: "Well, I haven't thought about this... It's always been a batch of deaths, should I ask you to take a look?"

Lu Jingxing was even more speechless. From the tone of his voice, it seemed as if Mr. Lin was just a beginner.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. I'll go see Mr. Liu first..." Lu Jingxing didn't say much to him.

Mr. Lin was relieved now. He had already looked for many rabbit manufacturers. He had communicated with them before and he didn't want to look for another one. If he looked for a new one, he would not be sure.

He felt that as long as he could find Liu Bingkun's rabbits, there would be no problem. You know, the few rabbits that are now the face of the store are still those of Liu Bingkun.

The later ones could never catch up with the quality of that batch.

On his way back, Lu Jingxing slowly came to his senses.

I guess that's what he thought.

This Mr. Lin is probably a relative of some boss. He was parachuted in to be the store manager, and he also likes to control Liu Bingkun. Liu himself is a boss of neither big nor small size, and he certainly could not bear such grievance. In the end, he just left. As for Lin, for a rabbit like this that needs care to survive for a long time, it is very difficult to endure without experience.

Lu Jingxing shook his head. Fortunately, he didn’t have to face all these messes now.

He looked at the rabbits in the rearview mirror, hoping that his good deed could resolve the conflict between Lin and Liu.

He rushed back to the store and unloaded several rabbits.

Fatty ran out with great insight: "Brother Lu, where did you go?"

Lu Jingxing smiled at him: "I wanted to take you with me, but you came late, so I went alone. Come, give me a hand and carry them to the Rabbit Cafe..."

"Rabbit cage? Is that one for us too?" Xiaopang asked in surprise, holding a cage in one hand.

"As long as it's related to the theme park, it's related to us. Let's go to the theme park..." Lu Jingxing strode ahead.

As soon as they entered the store, everyone looked at them.

Some customers even greeted Lu Jingxing: "Hey, Mr. Lu, have you introduced new varieties?"

Lu Jingxing smiled and shook his head: "It's not a new breed, there are just a few rabbits in the rabbit cafe next door. If you have time, you can go to the rabbit cafe to pet the rabbits. The feeling is different from that of cats..."

"Okay, okay, haha, you are such a nice person, you are also helping others to introduce business..." The customer laughed: "Is that also your business..."

"Not really. We all live on the same street. We can help each other and make progress together..." Lu Jingxing laughed, pressed the fingerprint lock on the back door, and walked inside with Xiaopang.

The two soon arrived at the entrance of Rabbit Cafe.

There were still some customers in other stores at this time, but there was no customer in Tuka. Two or three employees in the store were leaning against the cabinet, playing with their phones and chatting. When they saw Lu Jingxing coming in, they immediately stood up and looked over: "Welcome..." Lu Jingxing frowned slightly. This was really not a good sign.

He walked straight inside.

When the employees saw him holding the rabbit, they immediately realized that Mr. Lin must have greeted them. One of the employees came over and asked, "Is that Mr. Lu?"

Lu Jingxing nodded, put the cage in his hand on the large round table in the middle, looked around, and asked, "Why is there no one here now? Is business so slow?"

The clerk just lowered his head: "Alas, business has been getting less and less these days. I don't know what's going on. Business was quite good before..."

The other two employees also came over and took the rabbit from Xiaopang's hand, saying, "When Mr. Liu was here, I don't know if it was because the rabbits were of better quality, but the little guys were very lively and active, and could interact well with customers. Now the ones Mr. Lin brings in are getting more and more vulnerable, and are often scared to death by customers. Although we didn't ask customers to pay for them, people are slowly stopping by..."

Xiao Pang was teasing a little Angora in his hand. The little guy looked listless and indeed not very lively. "Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable if this happened to me? It wouldn't sound good if I told others about it. I was just teasing a rabbit and it was scared to death by me. What would others think of me, right?"

The employees looked worried: "That's right, so now there is less and less business..."

Lu Jingxing didn't say anything. He couldn't say any words of comfort to the employees. It was not his turn to say that it was Mr. Lin's fault.

He looked at a few rabbits that looked a little listless and felt very strange. Why did these little guys seem to be sick?

He looked at several employees in the store and asked, "How long have you been dealing with rabbits?"

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what Lu Jingxing meant by asking this. The person who spoke first said, "We all came here when this store opened, and we have never dealt with rabbits before."

The other two nodded.

"Well, it's not normal to have rabbits. What did you do?" he continued to ask.

"I'll give you some medicine. This is sent by the head office, but it doesn't seem to be of any use..." The female clerk who spoke first took out some medicine from the drawer and showed it to Lu Jingxing.

"If it doesn't work, what will happen to the rabbits in the end?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Usually they die within a few days of the outbreak. Several batches have died so far and have been taken away by General Manager Lin for disposal..." said the clerk.

They also want to solve this problem. Otherwise, according to the current model, the store will definitely not be able to operate. Sometimes the store's turnover will be zero. You know, the store's rent plus wages, and various expenses are not small. Who would do business at a loss every day?

So, it turned out that Mr. Lin was not in a hurry at all. But these days, he became a little anxious and went out to look for the source of goods by himself.

Lu Jingxing frowned unconsciously again. He really couldn't understand. He had such a big pet hospital right next to him, and he was also one of the owners of this park. When something like this happened, none of the employees of this store, including Mr. Lin, thought of looking for him.

He would not look at the business performance of this store alone, he would look at the overall performance. In the past two quarters, the performance of the park was not bad. He did not expect that Rabbit Cafe, which he had high hopes for, would become like this now.

He mentioned one of the rabbits that looked the most exhausted and said, "I'll take it back to check. The ones I brought back today must be kept separate from the others and not mixed together. Also, these ones that look sick should be kept separately. Don't let the sick ones out. We'll have to disinfect the store thoroughly. No one's coming, so keep the hygiene in place. No matter what, do your job well..."

There was a smell in the store that was not suitable for this kind of store, which made Lu Jingxing feel even more uncomfortable.

Although the shop assistants didn't know what the relationship between Lu Jingxing and their store was, General Manager Lin had specifically told them over the phone, so they nodded repeatedly and immediately started to take action.

This kind of situation rarely happens in Lu Jingxing's store, which made Xiaopang stunned. In his eyes, Lu Jingxing usually had a slightly smiling look on his face and rarely said anything harsh to them. It seemed that the behavior of these three shop assistants today really made Lu Jingxing a little angry.

He tactfully took a small cage from the side and took the little rabbit from Lu Jingxing's hand: "Brother Lu, I'll take it back first..."

Lu Jingxing nodded. Seeing that the three shop assistants had listened to him and had already started to act, his expression relaxed. After standing for a while, he walked out.

"I was scared to death. But, yeah, why didn't we think of asking Dr. Lu to check it out? Why did we just let the rabbit die like that?" One of the shop assistants said after Lu Jingxing walked out.

"Actually, I have thought about it. I even mentioned it to Mr. Lin once, but he felt it was unnecessary, so I didn't mention it later..." another clerk whispered.

The clerk who had first spoken to Lu Jingxing glanced at her and said, "We are just here to do our jobs. We don't care about so many things. Let's just get back to work. This is really outrageous. They haven't even cleaned up the mess. So, whose job is this?"

……

Lu Jingxing walked out for a long distance and still heard them arguing about whose job it was. He couldn't help but shake his head. There is no order without rules. The Rabbit Cafe was too unruly, which led to such a situation.

He didn't have the heart to look anywhere else, thinking that the little rabbit that Xiaopang brought back seemed sick, so he had to go back and check it out.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the door of the reptile shop.

There were several customers in front of the glass tanks in the store, and Xiao Sun was explaining to them all kinds of habits of the small reptiles in the glass tanks. He talked a lot, and it seemed that this kid had found his specialty in the reptile store. Not only could he speak, but he could also handle all kinds of reptiles with ease. In fact, he also put in a lot of effort behind the scenes, which Lu Jingxing could imagine.

Xiao Sun saw Lu Jingxing coming in and prepared to run over to say hello.

Lu Jingxing waved at him and asked him to take care of the customers first, saying that he was just looking around.

Xiao Sun responded with an "oh la" expression and continued to introduce it to the customer.

Lu Jingxing listened for a while on the side. The other two employees in the store, Xiaolan and Meimei, greeted him and then went about their own business. Some were cleaning the glass jars, some were settling accounts. Everything seemed in order.

Seeing this, Lu Jingxing inexplicably felt better. He didn't explain much, but the employees in his store would find things to do, and there were very few people who were lazy and took advantage of loopholes. This made him a little proud. He was quite good at judging people. He couldn't help but smile slightly. Was this like Wang Po bragging about herself? Haha...
