There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

Chapter 102 You know President Gu?!

"Why are you so late?"

Cui Ding put down the purple clay teapot in his hand and looked up at Liu Cun in front of him.

"Today is the opening day of Fangzhou Pet Hospital. Many people wanted to sign up for memberships, and we also performed one surgery, which is why we were a little late."

Liu Cun pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Cui Ding.

"How was the first day of business?" Cui Ding picked up a cigar from the side, lit it, took a deep drag, and asked.

"The popularity is better than I expected. This guy has accumulated a lot of popularity. There are at least dozens of people who came to apply for annual cards today. In addition to those who came to buy things, the turnover is definitely around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Cui Ding's face instantly darkened.

"By the way, is this guy really a college graduate who hasn't been out of school for long?" Liu Cun recalled the surgery from earlier that day and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I checked his graduation certificate, there's no problem with that. He didn't have many opportunities to perform surgery at Meiji Hospital. What did you find out?" Cui Ding knew that Liu Cun wouldn't ask such a question for no reason, so he immediately cast a probing look at him.

"His medical skills are frighteningly good. If you didn't tell me he just graduated, I would have thought he had been in the industry for three or four years."

Liu Cun gasped.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Cui Ding's expression changed.

"Yes, the foundation is very solid." Liu Cun nodded: "Today we performed a surgery on an intestinal obstruction accompanied by intestinal necrosis. He was the chief surgeon, and his technique was very skillful. The suturing was perfect. Even if I were to do it, I wouldn't be much better than him."

"This guy," Cui Ding frowned, "he actually had this trick up his sleeve?"

"Boss Cui, to be honest, based on his current skills and reputation, he's definitely going to take a huge slice of the pet market share in Tiancheng Community."

"It's alright." Cui Ding waved his hand. "How are you doing at their hospital?"

"Not bad, these guys didn't suspect anything and thought I really came here to work." Liu Cun couldn't help but feel a little proud when he mentioned this, after all, his acting skills were superb.

"That's good. Just behave normally during this time and make sure to completely dispel their doubts." Cui Ding instructed, "I will use you as a pawn at the most crucial moment."

"What does Boss Cui plan to do?" Liu Cun was also curious about Cui Ding's idea. After all, Lu Fang's Ark Pet Hospital had a good reputation so far, and it would be difficult to bring it down from that angle.

"You don't need to worry about that. Just remember to follow my instructions." Cui Ding clapped his hands, and the waiters outside the door, hearing the signal, began serving the dishes.

Before long, the table was filled with a dazzling array of Huaiyang dishes.

Liu Cun, however, did not touch his chopsticks.

"Just say what you have to say." Cui Ding picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, without even glancing at Liu Cun.

"I can cooperate with you, but don't forget what you promised me." Liu Cun picked up the Wuliangye liquor on the table and filled the glass in front of him.

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise."

Cui Ding spat out a fish bone from the plate and wiped his mouth with a towel: "If you're right, Fangzhou Pet Hospital will inevitably encroach on the pet market around Tiancheng Community. Then we'll wipe it all out in one fell swoop, and the vacated market will all belong to our Meiji Pet Hospital."

"At that time, you will receive the full amount of Meiji shares you were promised."

"When you're out in the game, everyone's just trying to make money." Cui Ding reassured Liu Cun by showing him the chat history on his phone, placing it on a disc, and turning it towards Liu Cun.

"What's this?" He reached for his phone.

"As a veterinarian, you should know Provi, right?" Cui Ding said confidently. "I've already made contact with the person in charge of Provi in ​​Yanling City. With his guarantee, our prices are the lowest, and our profits are the highest."

"You're well aware of ProVision's influence; Meiji's share value will only increase, not decrease!"

"You've gotten in touch with President Gu? Really?" Liu Cun asked incredulously.

Are you kidding me? That's Gu Nanxi, a powerful executive at ProVision. If you can talk to her, Meiji Pet Hospital can do whatever it wants in Yanling City!

"President Gu?" Cui Ding looked blank. Who was President Gu? How come he didn't know?

"You don't know? Gu Nanxi is the head of ProVision's southern region. Any decision she makes can affect the pet medicine market. If you could have connected with her, you should have told me sooner, and I would have switched jobs long ago."

"Could you introduce me to him? To be honest, I could brag about meeting President Gu for ages. Every veterinarian in Yanling City would love to exchange a few words with him."

Liu Cun became more and more excited as he spoke, completely immersed in his own world.

It took him quite a while to realize that Cui Ding's expression was a little off.

"Not President Gu?" Liu Cun asked tentatively.

"I know the person in charge of Yanling City, Mr. Lü Song." Cui Ding didn't know what to say for a moment. He had originally planned to boast a bit, but in front of Gu Nanxi, Lü Song was just a nobody.

"President Lü is also very famous. If we can get in touch with President Lü, we'll be able to get in touch with President Gu sooner or later. Then, the pet hospital market in Yanling City will be under our control."

Hearing Liu Cun's flattery, Cui Ding's originally ashen face finally softened a bit.

"Alright, alright, pay attention to this matter. If you do a good job, in addition to the shares in Meiji Hospital, I will also recommend you to President Lü." Cui Ding's words brought the dinner to a close.

In the following period, under the dedicated management of Liu Cun, Lu Fang, and Xu Yi, the revenue of Fangzhou Pet Hospital steadily increased, and life became more and more prosperous.

Qin Zhuyan looked at the account books every day, smiling from ear to ear, marveling that deciding to invest in Lu Fang was truly the right choice.

The air conditioning in the hospital lobby was running very loudly.

Xu Yi was processing customer files methodically at the counter, while the benches in the waiting area were full of pet owners waiting for physical examinations or doctor visits.

Everything was so thriving.

"Dean Lu, the sterilization in operating room number two is finished. What's the next surgery?" Liu Cun took off his mask, shaking the water droplets off his hands as he walked to the front desk.

"Alright, take a break in this heat. I'll go to the convenience store next door and buy you an ice-cold Coke."

Lu Fang had witnessed Liu Cun's busy work these days, and he had a high opinion of this experienced pet doctor.

Lu Fang smiled, took off his white coat, pushed open the glass door, and stepped into the sweltering heat.

The streets were nearly deserted at midday, and the asphalt was softened by the sun.

As Lu Fanggang walked to the convenience store on the street corner, his gaze was drawn to a figure next to a utility pole.

It was an old lady with a full head of white hair, wearing an extremely simple, even slightly faded, floral short-sleeved shirt, and a pair of extremely old handmade cloth shoes.

She was hunched over, her extremely thin body hunched over, standing on tiptoe, holding a bottle of cheap glue that cost only a few cents, and struggling to apply it to the scorching hot utility pole.
