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

Ark Selection's plan is progressing smoothly.

Qin Zhuyan specially ordered a wooden signboard and placed it in the most conspicuous position on the shelf.

The signboard is simple yet warm. On the natural wood background, the logo of a small boat with cats and dogs cuddling together, drawn by Lu Fang, is carved, with four powerful characters next to it: Fangzhou Yanxuan.

In addition, the stickers are also ready.

According to Lu Fang, no matter what brand of pet snacks, cat food, or dog food it is, as long as it has this Ark Selection label, the pets in our community will recognize it.

Even if their owners buy them from elsewhere, they won't eat them if there's no label.

Qin Zhuyan's attitude towards this was also very clear.

Lu Fang is a good kid in every way, except he's not very bright.

They're hallucinating.

But since the child works under my supervision, even if he has cerebral palsy, he still needs to be fed.

Lu Fang naturally had no idea what Qin Zhuyan was really thinking.

Because he himself knew that the so-called "Ark Selection" label was nothing but self-deception.

It's useful, but not that useful.

What truly allows pets in the neighborhood to distinguish the product is the unique scent left on the packaging. Humans may not be able to smell it, but small animals can.

Excellent anti-counterfeiting measures.

Besides the signs and stickers, the first batch of Ark Select products is almost ready.

In the past few days, Lu Fang took some time to conduct a survey in the group, listening to the pets' needs to the greatest extent possible, and carefully selecting the most requested snacks and toys.

We are currently making arrangements to procure the goods.

On the other side, Xu Yi was also ready to go, just waiting for Lu Fang's order, she immediately began to promote it in the group chats of the surrounding communities.

This day came very quickly.

Hello Pet Shop had its sign up early in the morning.

[Ark Selection! Your pet's most considerate product selector!]

Buy with confidence! Ark Select certified; if your pet doesn't like it, money back guarantee!

Unsure about your pet's preferences? Don't know how to choose cat food, dog food, pet snacks, or pet toys? Come to Ark Selection!

Qin Zhuyan stood at the door holding a stack of flyers printed with slogans. Today, she changed her usual capable boss lady style. She put away her usual overalls and put them away in a pair of hot pants, exposing her long, straight, and shapely legs, which shone brightly in the early summer sun.

She stood there, a beautiful sight to behold, drawing the attention of passersby. Whether they owned pets or not, they couldn't help but gather around.

"Boss lady, is this sign real?"

Immediately, people couldn't wait to ask questions; there was no way around it, the slogans on the flyers were simply too boastful.

Every pet has a different personality, and sometimes even their own owners are unsure what they like. How could Ark Select possibly understand them?

"Why don't we try and see if it's true or not?" Qin Zhuyan smiled slyly, instantly captivating a large group of people.

No one had ever noticed before that there was such a beautiful pet shop owner hidden on a street behind the residential area where hardly anyone passed by.

"Can I really get a refund if I don't like it?" A pet owner walked over with a Shiba Inu. He picked up the flyer with some curiosity and looked at the Ark Choice sign behind Qin Zhuyan.

"Of course you can. You can buy it now and try it out to see if your Shiba Inu likes it."

Lu Fang recognized it at a glance; this Shiba Inu was clearly a member of the group, named "The Cherry Blossoms of My Hometown."

She is notoriously picky about food at home.

"I'll have to give it a try. My Shiba Inu is a picky eater. If it doesn't eat what I buy now, you'll have to give me a refund."

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond," Lu Fang assured, patting his chest.

After all, the bag of Ark Select dog food he was holding was a vote cast by the little Shiba Inu in front of him.

The pet owner opened the dog food with some skepticism, but his usually arrogant Shiba Inu pounced on it and devoured it in no time.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"Let me tell you, this pet store is like a curse." A guy with a husky suddenly appeared next to me: "Last time I brought my husky here for a bath, and it took a fancy to a toy mouse they were selling. It went crazy for it and bought it and treasured it like a precious gem."

"I initially thought it was just a coincidence, but my husky also really loves the pet snacks I bought the second time. I'm starting to suspect that he might have added dog mint to the products in the store." The speaker was none other than Jiang Feng, who has become a regular customer of the pet store.

"What you're saying sounds rather far-fetched."

This attracted a large crowd, with regular customers enthusiastically recommending the food, and the kids eating with great gusto. It was truly a living advertisement.

With Xu Yi's efforts also taking effect, in a short time, all the group chats in Tiancheng Community, whether they were building groups, outing groups, fishing groups, cleaning groups, or appliance repair groups, were filled with Fangzhou Yanxuan's guys.

The threshold of our tiny Hello Pet Shop has been almost worn down by the constant stream of visitors.

"A grasshopper in autumn won't be able to hop around for many more days."

Across the street, Cui Ding coldly observed all of this.

"Dean Cui, are you telling the truth or not? I don't know if he's like a grasshopper in autumn, but I know that if this continues for a few more days, I'll become a grasshopper in autumn."

Beside Cui Ding, a middle-aged man had a bitter expression on his face.

He owns PetBen, which is across from Hello Pet Shop; the two are competitors.

However, PetBen's location is slightly better than Nihao Pet Shop, and since I know Cui Ding, I can get some grooming orders from pet hospitals that are too busy to handle, so life is not bad.

But ever since the Hello Pet Shop across the street suddenly became incredibly successful, his life has become increasingly difficult. Even several of his loyal customers have been lured away by the other party, and his sales have plummeted by 50%.

Not only him, but several pet shops in the vicinity also suffered losses to varying degrees.

"I already had a plan."

Cui Ding didn't even glance at him, but stared intently at Lu Fang, who was energetically explaining things at the door: "Fangzhou Selection, in my opinion, is a complete scam. How could they possibly have snacks that all pets like? Do they really think they can cater to everyone's tastes?"

"In my opinion, all of his products definitely contain palatability enhancers!"

"Let me tell you, when the time comes, you should tell your store's customers that the reason the other store sells so well is entirely because of the palatability enhancers, which are harmful to cats and dogs."

"Will this really work?" The owner of Chongben Pet Shop was clearly skeptical.

"This is just the first step."

Cui Ding sneered, "Didn't he claim that he'd refund if the pet didn't like it? I'll contact a few of my clients and insist that their cats and dogs don't like the snacks and demand a refund."

"How much working capital can a small shop like this have?"

"If they don't offer refunds, Ark Select's reputation will be ruined."

"If they ask for a refund, we'll drain their cash flow. They won't even need us to lift a finger; they'll be forced to close down!"
