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

Chapter 111 I'm sorry, Dean Lu

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Fangzhou Pet Hospital has firmly established itself around Tiancheng Community.

The meticulously designed Ark Adoption Wall in the lobby on the first floor has become the store's biggest signboard.

The exceptionally cute and adorable photos of stray cats and dogs attracted the attention of many customers.

With the joint oversight of Lu Fang, the police chief, and Tanuki Brother, five or six more little guys successfully found new owners in just half a month.

Moreover, they also brought considerable additional revenue to Ark Pet Hospital.

After all, adoption is free, but pet owners always take the opportunity to get a grooming card, buy some deworming medicine and Ark Select snacks here.

The surrounding pet hospitals saw that this method was good and wanted to imitate it, but in the end they all failed.

Unfortunately, the stray animals in Tiancheng Community have all been monopolized by Tanuki. They don't even have a place to take pictures. They finally managed to catch two that slipped through the net, but they were both incredibly temperamental and didn't meet the adoption requirements at all. They could only keep them for two days before releasing them back into the wild.

Strangely enough, the stray cats and dogs adopted by Ark Pet Hospital are all exceptionally well-behaved.

As his business flourished, Lu Fang's personal savings gradually increased.

He took a day off, carrying a bag of fruit, and wandered around before finally arriving at the First People's Hospital of Yanling City.

"Hey, Xiao Fang's here!"

Mr. Zhong looked much better, and upon seeing Lu Fang enter, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Oh, you should just lie in bed and rest. I'm not coming over." Lu Fang pulled a stool over from the side and plopped down next to the hospital bed. "The pet hospital has been so busy lately that I haven't had time to come over. I finally managed to find some free time."

"I've heard from Xiao Zhong that your hospital is doing better and better, and I'm happy for you. It's just that my son is really disappointing. I've told him several times to quit his job and work for you, but he's stubborn and just won't do it."

"He even said that he didn't help you when you were in your most difficult time, but now that his business is doing well, he's going to earn a high salary. What kind of person has he become? This kid is just proud to the core. Don't take it to heart."

As Lu Fang listened to Zhong's father's words, the image of Zhong Yue flashed through his mind, as if it were something that guy could say.

Even though his family was in such dire straits back then, he never complained to them and endured it all by himself.

"You don't really need to say these things to him. I know him well; he has to change his mind himself. What others say won't work. He's a typical stubborn person," Lu Fang reassured him. "I'm off today, so I'll have a good chat with you."

The old man and the young boy stayed in the ward together, getting along very well.

To an outsider who didn't know better, they might think that Zhong's father was Lu Fang's father.

"Buzz—"

Just as the two were chatting happily, reminiscing about Zhong Yue's embarrassing moments in school, his phone suddenly vibrated. The screen displayed the landline number of Ark Pet Hospital.

Xu Yi is on duty right now. This girl is calling me from the landline, so something must have happened at the pet hospital.

He pointed to his phone at Mr. Zhong and quickly went outside the ward.

The call had barely connected when Xu Yi's anxious voice came through: "Brother Fang, there's an important surgery at our hospital!"

"An older woman just came into the store carrying a blood-soaked Afghan Hound. It looks quite bad. I'm registering her now. When can you come back? There's only Dr. Liu here, so he can't perform the surgery."

"I know, I'll be right back in ten minutes!"

Lu Fang immediately hung up the phone and returned to the ward to greet Zhong's father.

"Sir, something happened at the hospital, I have to go back. I'll come visit you again next time."

"You go about your business. I'm used to being alone, it's fine." Mr. Zhong waved his hand, signaling Lu Fang to hurry up and get on with his own business.

He stared thoughtfully at Lu Fang's departing figure, then, lying on his hospital bed, he took out his old-fashioned mobile phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed a number.

After leaving the inpatient department, Lu Fang did not rush to drive, but instead turned around and went to the payment counter.

"Hello, I'm here to prepay my medical bill. I'm in room 801, and my surname is Zhong. Yes, I'd like to deposit 20,000 yuan. Thank you."

After doing all that, he jogged towards the parking spot.

When they arrived at the pet hospital, Xu Yi had already completed the registration, and Liu Cun was undergoing pre-operative examinations.

"What's going on?"

"Rapid and weak breathing, pale oral mucosa, and unnatural twisting of the right hind leg may indicate a ruptured spleen causing massive intra-abdominal bleeding, accompanied by a comminuted fracture of the right femur. It is recommended to immediately perform laparotomy to stop the bleeding and remove part of the spleen, followed by internal fixation of the fracture."

"it is good."

Lu Fang took the footage and glanced at it briefly, and knew that what Liu Cun said was indeed true.

This surgery is quite difficult; the hound could die on the operating table if anything goes wrong. However, it is still within the capabilities of the Chinese side.

"Doctor! Please save my dog! It's bleeding so much! Please save it! It was just hit by a delivery truck at the entrance of our neighborhood! I'm willing to spend any amount of money to save it, money is no problem!"

"Don't get too emotional. This surgery isn't difficult. As long as it's handled promptly, there won't be any danger to your life."

"Xiaoyi, take her to rest over there."

"Liu Cun, get the anesthesia ready and come with me into the operating room."

Lu Fang took a deep breath and made arrangements in an orderly manner.

This show-quality Afghan Hound is quite expensive, clearly a big order, but judging from the woman's outfit, it doesn't quite match up.

However, now is not the time to delve into this.

If this surgery is done well, it will naturally enhance the reputation of Ark Pet Hospital.

If this surgery goes wrong, the other party obviously won't let it go easily.

He shook his head, banishing the ominous thought.

What a joke! This surgery isn't that difficult for him. The hospital is well-equipped, and he has an experienced veterinarian like Liu Cun to assist him. How could anything go wrong?

The operating lights came on, and the operating room doors were tightly closed.

The hound's surgical area was shaved, a tracheal tube was inserted, and anesthesia was completed.

The monitor emitted a regular and rapid beeping sound.

"The anesthesia has taken effect. Prepare to open the abdomen." Lu Fang, dressed in sterile clothing, stood at the surgeon's position and extended his right hand: "Scalpel."

However, Liu Cun, who was standing in the first assist position on the opposite side, did not hand over the equipment as usual.

"Don't get distracted during the surgery, keep your eyes on the scalpel!"

Lu Fang's tone became noticeably harsher, but Liu Cun remained standing there motionless.

Lu Fang frowned and looked up.

Instead of taking out his knife, Liu Cun slowly took a step back.

"I'm sorry, Dean Lu, I suddenly feel unwell and I can't perform this surgery."
