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

Before long, the stall in front of Hello Pet Shop gradually became lively, and more and more pets gathered around.

They tasted the food while commenting and critiquing it in the group chat.

The guy with legs 1.8 meters long exclaimed, "These duck necks are so chewy and delicious! They're way better than any of the imported ones my mom buys me!"

Right now, it's standing next to the tablecloth, its two paws pressing down on a piece of dried duck neck, chewing it with great relish.

Dayun: "You know, (chewing) who researched this freeze-dried cat food? (chewing) It tastes pretty good. (chewing) I need to think of a way to switch the cat food at home to this one."

Lu Fang looked at the messages in the group chat, his gaze falling on a tabby cat next to him who was engrossed in eating cat food.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen such a big tabby cat. It was almost as big as a dog. Sometimes when it was tired from eating, it had trouble licking its own fur and could only curl up and lick the air.

As expected of great fortune, if she had been hit by a car, Consort Fucha would indeed have miscarried.

Empress Sanhua: "This canned chicken is awful! It's all glue! Thumbs down!"

A pretty calico cat complained in the group that there was a can of chicken food in front of it, but it only took one bite and then shook its head and walked away. That can of chicken food was the imported cat food that Qin Zhuyan had bought.

Pet owners in Tiancheng Community were already having a headache because they couldn't find suitable snacks, but after this tasting event, the domestic snacks that Lu Fang had stocked up on were cheap and delicious, and they were sold out instantly.

"Xiao Wang, how's the situation?"

Among the crowd, a somewhat dull-looking young man raised his phone, snapped a few photos, and then quietly walked to a corner to answer Cui Ding's call.

"Dean Cui, hello. The pet store is holding a tasting event." Wang Chu said softly, covering the microphone with one hand.

"A tasting event?" Cui Ding was a little confused.

"It's basically giving away free snacks from the store to the pets," Wang Chu explained. "It's quite lively."

"Lu Fang, that kid, is he having another episode? These snacks were bought with money, and he's giving them to those pets for free?" Cui Ding chuckled upon hearing this. "What a joke! What won't these cats and dogs eat? Even if a pile of poop fell on the ground, they'd rush over and eat it clean. This kind of tasting event is completely meaningless except for giving away money!"

"But I see they're selling quite well," Wang Chu said.

"That's all an illusion." Cui Ding scoffed. "No one has ever done this kind of unprofitable business before. He's just the first to try it. People haven't seen this kind of tasting event before, so of course they'll be curious and crowd around. Just wait and see, it won't be long before nobody pays attention anymore."

Cui Ding thought Lu Fang had some special method, but he didn't expect it to be such a simple and crude one.

"Then I'll head back to the hospital first." Seeing how lively the entrance to the Hello Pet Shop was, Wang Chu lost interest in staying any longer and was about to go back when he unexpectedly heard Cui Ding's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Don't rush. Take a look at some of their best-selling snacks and take a few photos," Cui Ding instructed.

"Okay." Wang Chu nodded, took out his phone and pointed it at Lu Fang, taking a picture every time Lu Fang took out a bag of snacks from the store.

In the photo, the simple PuShi logo on the packaging is clearly visible.

After a busy afternoon, the snacks at the stalls outside the door were almost gone, and the four large boxes of goods that had just arrived in the morning were also nearly sold out. Many pet owners wanted to buy some but couldn't.

The mainland side also promised that they would purchase a large quantity of goods, and customers could come directly to the store to buy them if needed.

Qin Zhuyan also demonstrated her business acumen. Leveraging the positive word-of-mouth from the tasting event, she vigorously promoted her membership card. If you sign up for a membership card today, you can receive a free bag of pet treats the next time you bring your pet for a bath.

For the next while, Lu Fang tidied up at the entrance, while Qin Zhuyan began to tally up the day's revenue at the front desk.

"Meow."

Just as Lu Fang was busy, a weak meow was suddenly heard.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a well-behaved stray white cat sitting there, its eyes longingly fixed on the leftover snacks and cat food on the tablecloth.

This stray cat seemed to have been waiting nearby for a long time. Because there were many pets and humans around, it didn't dare to approach rashly. It just sat obediently in the distance, waiting for the crowd to disperse.

A message popped up in the group chat.

Wu Jia: "Hello, I'd like to ask if I can take the remaining snacks with me?"

To be honest, Lu Fang was quite surprised to see such a normal stray cat name among a bunch of weird and wonderful pet names.

He glanced down at the snacks on the tablecloth. Those picky eaters had already devoured all the delicious snacks, leaving only some that didn't taste good or that they didn't really like.

"I'll ask around for you, but these are all foods they don't like to eat. If you want some, I'll have the vet get you something new."

Even at this point, Lu Fang still remembered that he couldn't let his disguise slip.

Wu Jia: "It's okay, it's good enough to have some food. We stray cats will eat whatever you give us."

Since it had said that, Lu Fang didn't say anything more. He had originally planned to pack up the remaining snacks and cat food and put them in the neighborhood for the stray cats to eat.

He got up and went back inside, found a small bag, and packed all the remaining cat food and treats together. He even thoughtfully put two extra layers inside the bag to prevent Wu Jia from tearing it while dragging it.

Lu Fang then went outside and placed the small bag on the side of the street.

The stray white cat stared intently at Lu Fang's every move. After confirming that he had given it to her, it didn't rush to take it. Instead, it first lowered its head to Lu Fang to express its gratitude in its own way. Then, it trotted over, stuck its head into the bag, bit the bag with its mouth, and disappeared in a flash.

This little guy.

Lu Fang smiled wryly; he was quite perceptive.

"Sister Qin, how's the business today... Ah!" Lu Fang clapped his hands, turned around and went back into the store with satisfaction. He was just about to ask Qin Zhuyan about her earnings when she suddenly rushed over and hugged him.

Two full breasts pressed against his chest without him even noticing, their softness and strange elasticity were quite noticeable.

"Xiao Fang, you're truly my lucky charm! You made a fortune again today! And quite a few customers didn't get anything, they'll definitely be back next time. Our pet shop has finally turned a profit!"

"As a reward, I've decided to grant you one request! You can ask for a raise right now, okay?"

Qin Zhuyan wrapped her arms around Lu Fang's waist, her beautiful eyes gazing at him with glistening tears.

"Any request is acceptable?" Lu Fang asked tentatively.

"Any request is acceptable!"
