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

Chapter 114 Selling Oneself

The two men watched the older woman flee in panic and exchanged a smile.

"By the way, what are you planning to do with this dog? Call the police to find the owner?" Zhong Yue frowned and glanced at the operating room behind him.

"Let's keep it for now." Lu Fang took off his sterile gown. "Cui Ding definitely won't take this dog back."

"If a show dog of this quality were truly stolen, its owner would have already posted missing dog notices all over the streets. If they were caught, they would go to jail."

"Cui Ding does want to bring down Ark Pet Hospital, but he's not stupid enough to drag himself into it."

"This dog is most likely a culled dog that he obtained through some shady underground black market, and its origin cannot be traced at all."

"Since this Ark has been sent here, it can be considered a destiny between us. Let's keep it in the hospital for now; we can afford the cost."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yue chuckled and playfully punched him on the shoulder, teasingly saying, "As expected of our Dean Lu, you're truly generous and wealthy, not even caring about such a small amount of money."

"Alright, stop teasing me." Lu Fang walked to the sink and carefully washed his hands. "But I'm really happy that you're joining us."

"Shut up, don't do that cheesy stuff, I can't stand it." Zhong Yue walked to his side and turned on the tap: "I'm practically selling myself here. Someone already paid a lot of my old man's medical bills, how am I supposed to pay them back if I don't sell myself?"

After a quick tidy-up, the two worked seamlessly into the next surgery.

I was so busy that I didn't have time to rest until 7 p.m.

By the time they had cleaned the shop spotless, they were all exhausted.

Qin Zhuyan and Xu Yi were lying on the sofa in the reception area, so sleepy that they could barely keep their eyes open. Lu Fang was also exhausted, while Zhong Yue still looked full of energy.

It must be said that he is indeed a top-notch trainee who has undergone systematic training.

"To be honest, I don't think Bald Cui will let this go!" Xu Yi clenched her small fists and waved them vigorously twice. "Look, how many times has he caused us trouble since the pet shop incident? This time he even came up with such a vicious scheme. I was completely fooled by that Liu Cun guy!"

"It's also my fault. We were in a hurry to open the pet hospital, so when we found someone suitable, we could only hire them without doing any background checks." Qin Zhuyan straightened her back. She had been exhausted during this period. She and Lu Fang were working non-stop between the pet shop and the pet hospital every day. After taking a shower, they would fall asleep immediately and had little time to chat.

"How can I blame you? It's mainly my fault. I didn't think much about it at the time. With that petty-minded Baldy Cui, I knew he must have warned the nearby veterinarians not to come to the pet hospital. I didn't think much of it. But this time, thanks to Lao Zhong, otherwise Fangzhou would have been in real trouble."

At this point, Lu Fang patted Zhong Yue on the shoulder: "Let me introduce you all. Zhong Yue is my college roommate. He's very capable, just like me. He'll be the chief surgeon at our Ark Pet Hospital from now on."

"That's just how Lao Lu is, he likes to joke around. I'm very happy that I was able to help Fangzhou this time. I hope everyone will continue to guide me in the future." Zhong Yue bowed humbly.

Xu Yi and Qin Zhuyan both applauded to welcome Zhong Yue to the team.

"Xiao Fang, what should we do next? After this incident, our conflict with Meiji has become public. What are your plans?" Qin Zhuyan asked softly, her face full of worry.

Meiji is a long-established pet hospital in Yanling City. As a rising force, it will be difficult for Ark to shake Meiji's position.

"This can't go on any longer." Lu Fang leaned on the table, his gaze fixed intently on everyone present. "Since Cui Ding doesn't want to let us off the hook, then let's not hold back."

"Xiaoyi, we both worked at Meiji before. Over the years, Meiji Pet Hospital has been able to open so many branches in Yanling City by ordering unnecessary tests and overpriced drugs. Most of their profits come from here."

"Since he wants to destroy the Ark, let's target his most vulnerable spot."

"Sister Qin, do you remember the event we organized before?" Lu Fang looked at Qin Zhuyan beside him.

"Of course I remember. If it weren't for that event, we wouldn't have been able to get this place at such a low price." Qin Zhuyan thought for a moment: "Do you want to do it again? But if we take over the bathhouse, we won't have free labor, and the costs might not be sustainable. Besides, we won't be able to cause any real damage to Meiji."

"It is indeed another event, but not for bathhouses." Lu Fang pointed to the wide variety of medicines displayed on the store shelves: "This time, I'm organizing a medical month."

"Isn't Meiji Pet Hospital notorious for its hidden costs? Well then, we'll drive down the industry's lowest prices, refrain from prescribing expensive medications and unnecessary tests, and bring down the cost of pet healthcare for them!"

Lu Fang's words were resounding, and Xu Yi, who had long been devoted to him, immediately offered her support upon hearing this: "I can make the poster! Just like last time."

But Zhong Yue seemed somewhat worried.

"Old Zhong, just say what your concerns are. We're all on the same side here." Lu Fang seemed to sense that Zhong Yue had something to say and asked directly.

"If you do this, I'm afraid you'll offend all the pet hospitals in Yanling City. Actually, you know that this has become an unspoken rule in pet hospitals." Zhong Yue also graduated with a degree in veterinary medicine, so he naturally has some understanding of this industry.

"You don't actually think that if we do things the proper way, Cui Ding will let us off the hook?"

"Impossible! This guy just wants to bankrupt us. Since he's already gone this far, let's strike first!"

"Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. If we're going to fight, let's fight to the death!"

Lu Fang grabbed Zhong Yue's shoulders with both hands: "Do you remember? Back in our school days, we swore an oath that we wanted to reform this industry, that we wanted more pet owners to have access to good enough pet healthcare. We've already taken the first step. Now, all we need to do is keep moving forward steadily, and we will definitely succeed!"

Lu Fang's words completely influenced Zhong Yue. In his youthful arrogance, who didn't have some dreams?

The worst-case scenario is that Ark Pet Hospital goes out of business, and everyone has to find new jobs or start their own businesses.

But what if it works out?

They will start in Yanling City and completely reshape the pet healthcare industry!

With that thought in mind, Zhong Yue no longer hesitated.

"Alright, then we'll do as you say. Let's fight Meiji to the death!" He clenched his fist and stared intently at Lu Fang.

"Just hearing that is enough. We can foresee that we'll be very busy for a while, but if we can just get through this, the clouds will part and we'll see the clear sky!"
