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

Chapter 116: The Counterattack Begins

"What are you two talking about, laughing so happily?"

Qin Zhuyan peeked out from the shop entrance. Today, she was still dressed in sportswear and had her hair in a high ponytail. Although she was in her early thirties, she looked no different from a girl in her twenties.

Recently, Fangzhou Pet Hospital's performance has been soaring, and Qin Zhuyan has naturally made a lot of money.

She hired two more people at Hello Pet Shop, which made her life much easier, and she often went to Ark Pet Hospital to help out when she had free time.

"I've come up with a new plan and I'm discussing it with Zhong Yue." Lu Fang handed the pricing list to Qin Zhuyan, who pushed it back without even looking at it.

"You don't need to show me. You can decide for yourself. I have 100% faith in you regarding the hospital's operations!" Qin Zhuyan's eyes were full of trust: "Whatever decision you make, I will support you."

"Time to eat! You've been up all night, you can't just drink coffee!"

No sooner had Qin Zhuyan finished speaking than Xu Yi rushed back in a flurry.

The little girl carried two cups of soy milk in one hand and a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) filled with toppings in the other, presenting it to Lu Fang like a treasure.

It turns out she went out to buy breakfast for Lu Fang.

"What about mine?" Zhong Yue jokingly spread his hands, earning a roll of his eyes from Xu Yi.

"Our Dean Lu worked all night to prepare this breakfast service, and you didn't stay up all night, you didn't!"

"Okay, okay." Zhong Yue was just teasing the little girl; he had already eaten breakfast when he arrived this morning.

With his intelligence, it's not hard to see that both Qin Zhuyan and Xu Yi have long been devoted to their good brother.

However, Lu Fang seemed completely unaware.

Unexpectedly, this guy was a bit dim-witted. He was too lazy to expose him and was happy to watch how the show would unfold.

"You didn't have breakfast this morning? I'll share half of this jianbing guozi with you." Lu Fang didn't think much of it at all. He was still thinking about his medical week activities and didn't notice the murderous look Xu Yi gave him after he said that.

"Forget it, I'm afraid of dying." Zhong Yue chuckled twice, and under Xu Yi's murderous glare, he dashed into the ward to check on the animals' condition.

"He won't eat, Brother Fang, you eat." Seeing that Zhong Yue had left, Xu Yi put on a harmless smile.

"I'll eat, I'll eat. By the way, hurry up and send out that poster. We should catch Cui Ding off guard. If they prepare in advance, this move won't be as effective."

Xu Yi readily agreed.

While sipping her soy milk, she deftly organized a high-definition long image and promotional text, and forwarded it with one click to the dozen or so local pet exchange groups she managed, as well as the main group of owners in Tiancheng Community.

The previously calm and stagnant group chats were suddenly thrown into chaos, as if a bomb had been dropped, instantly creating countless ripples.

"Dude, are these prices real? When did treatment become so cheap? How much does a full treatment for parvovirus cost? I just went to the vet last month and it cost me over three thousand!"

"The miracle drug only charges a distribution fee? No, Dean Lu, I know you're kind-hearted, but is it necessary to be this kind of kind? I suspect you were sent by God to do charity!"

"Spaying for sterilization is so cheap? That's amazing! I was just thinking of taking my little one to get it done, but my boyfriend's birthday is coming up, and I need to buy him a 5080 graphics card as a birthday present. I was thinking I'd have to live on a shoestring budget for the next few days, but then I found out about this promotion. Dr. Lu, I love you!"

"At this price, Dean Lu, you must not be making any money. Are you some rich kid here to experience life? I must buy more Ark Select products to support you!"

Soon after, the front desk phone at Ark Pet Hospital and Xu Yi's work WeChat were bombarded with a terrifying wave of messages.

"Hello, is this Ark? Are the prices on your event poster accurate?"

"Is Dr. Lu here? I'd like to book a spaying appointment for my female cat this weekend, yes, the latest package. Thank you."

"I'd like to ask if Ark Hospital accepts transfers? My dog ​​has a leg tumor, and after a quick look at another veterinary hospital, they didn't seem to be doing well, so I'd like to come to your hospital for a checkup."

Messages kept coming in one after another, and Xu Yi was having trouble replying. Seeing this, Qin Zhuyan immediately came over to help.

The two people typed rapidly on the keyboard with their four hands, as if they were playing a four-hand piano duet.

Soon, the appointment form in the Ark Pet Hospital work group was expanding at a visible speed.

"This is really going to kill me." Zhong Yue peeked out from the second floor, clearly having also seen the updated spreadsheet in the group chat.

"Then let's get busy. If we're suffering, Cui Ding and his gang will only be suffering more."

Not only did people make online reservations, but regular customers who already trusted Lu Fang extremely also brought their pets and lined up at the door, afraid of missing the event.

Meanwhile, the main branch of Meiji Pet Hospital is located a few streets away from Tiancheng Community.

"Snapped!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out in the dean's office as Cui Ding slammed a tablet computer onto the ground, shattering the screen into countless fragments.

"Lu Fang, how dare you? Who the hell do you think you are, a savior?"

Dr. Luo stood in front of him, not daring to breathe.

Before long, the directors of Meiji Pet Hospital's other branches in Yanling City arrived one after another, entering the room one after another, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely tense.

"Mr. Cui, this is a pretty tricky situation right now." The manager of the East Street branch stepped forward with a stiff upper lip, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: "This kid has really gone mad. I don't know what the point of this price war is. We can't compete with these prices at all. A bunch of old customers have all flocked there. Now it's not just the main store in Tiancheng Community that's affected; even the branches that are a little closer are showing signs of losing customers."

The manager of the Qinhuai branch echoed with a bitter expression, "Yes, this morning, a customer who had booked fracture surgery and sterilization surgery came straight to our front desk with the Fangzhou Hospital's promotional posters and price lists, questioning why our prices were so expensive."

"It means that if the price is the same, he is still willing to have the surgery here, but if we insist on the price, they will have to go elsewhere. But we don't have the power to do that. Once the price goes down, it's hard to bring it back up."

"We're just trying to make a living. After finding out we weren't willing to lower our prices, they simply grabbed their dog and left, forfeiting their deposit. If this continues, our revenue will definitely be severely impacted!"
