Start at the pet store

Lu Jingxing actually had his eyes on several stores a long time ago, but there are many snacks near this street, and the storefront fees are a little different from those outside. It is unnecessary to rent such an expensive storefront for more than 20 people to eat.

However, some employees don’t want to eat in places that are too far away, so they still hope to rent a location that is a little bit in the middle of two stores.

“Aunt Xie, do you think there are many people who come to eat on weekdays?” Lu Jingxing still wants to see the situation first.

“There are still quite a lot of people. If it’s too early in the morning, the snack shops outside are closed, so I sometimes make breakfast. If it’s too late, sometimes all the shops outside are closed, so I make midnight snacks. There are also a few children who think I’m doing well, so they eat here every day at noon. Sometimes there are not enough dishes, and I have to cook again...” Aunt Xie recalled carefully.

That’s still a bit too much. Lu Jingxing recalled the map of the area in his mind, wondering if he should go for a walk today and find a suitable store.

"But, I seem to remember that there is a place opposite that has a rental house on the second floor. It seems that you can cook or something. My dance partner told me about it when I was dancing in the square last time." Aunt Xie suddenly said to Lu Jingxing.

"That's great, Aunt Xie, you told me that you had this way earlier. I was still thinking about where to rent a house." Lu Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief: "Then please introduce the store to Aunt Xie. I will go and take a look when the time comes."

Aunt Xie nodded kindly.

At this time, Lu Jingxing felt his pocket vibrating. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a message from the reporter that day.

"Boss Lu, call me back if you are there."

Lu Jingxing got up and walked outside the store, picked up the mobile phone and found the reporter's number.

"Beep~Beep~Beep~"

"Hello, is it Boss Lu?" The reporter's voice came over.

"Well, what's the matter?" Lu Jingxing was a little confused.

"Boss Lu, do you know about the 'Long'an Pet Exhibition' these days?" The reporter asked.

"I don't know." Lu Jingxing answered truthfully.

"This pet exhibition is organized by many pet product brands. There are many projects to participate in and some new pet product displays. If you are interested, you can go and have a look." The reporter said sincerely.

"If you are sure to go, you can be a special guest of our satellite TV. I will give you a free ticket."

Lu Jingxing thought for a while and was just about to find a few cat food suppliers to compare. This way, the opportunity to see other manufacturers is also quite good.

In fact, for him, there should be suppliers who give coupons, after all, the influence is here, but the reporter obviously knew the news earlier, and it doesn't matter who gives it, as long as there is a coupon.

"Then trouble you." Lu Jingxing said.

After a while, a QR code was sent over. This exhibition scanned the code to enter, one ticket per person, and it was held at the Long'an Convention and Exhibition Center.

Lu Jingxing didn't know what to bring to this exhibition, anyway, it seemed that he could just bring a few pets.

He strode to the cat room and scanned the cats with a scrutinizing look.

If you want to participate in the exhibition, being docile and good-looking is definitely the first factor, but there are mostly stray cats here, and it is unclear whether they will bite people when they meet people. It is a bit challenging to find a few docile and good-looking ones. He doesn't want to take them out, he wants to take new faces out to try.

At this time, a flash of eye-catching purple flashed before his eyes. Lu Jingxing took out a pack of cat strips from his shirt pocket and started talking: "Violet, come here."

Violet meowed softly and walked over.

"Violet, can I take you to the exhibition?" Lu Jingxing asked the little guy.

Violet licked the tip of her nose, tilted her head, and asked in confusion: "What is an exhibition?"

"It's to show others how beautiful and obedient you are." Lu Jingxing tried to explain in simple words.

"Then I'll go, meow, I think I'm very beautiful." Violet raised her head conceitedly.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you cans when the time comes." Lu Jingxing smiled.

At this time, a golden figure rushed out from the side. It was Jin Qilin. He couldn't control himself when he smelled the cat strips.

Lu Jingxing's eyes lit up. A shorthair with a golden unicorn tail must be eye-catching to some people.

He took out another cat strip and squeezed it on the ground. Lu Jingxing asked Jin Qilin: "Do you want to eat more cat strips?"

Jin Qilin was a little confused.

Lu Jingxing asked again: "Do you want more freeze-dried food?"

Jin Qilin was a little moved.

"There are countless cans." Lu Jingxing knew the art of drawing cakes.

Jin Qilin quickly stood up, put his two front feet in front of him, and looked at Lu Jingxing with shining eyes: "I'll go, I'll go."

Seeing that the two cats were taken down, Lu Jingxing picked up the two cats and walked to the cat washing room in the back.

The next day.

There were two airline boxes on the back seat of Lu Jingxing, and behind them were Jin Qilin, who was depressed after taking a bath, and Violet, who was vain.

Many vehicles passed by him, and many of them had a dog's head looking out excitedly from the windows.

A husky even stuck out its tongue and pressed it against the car window.

After getting off the car, Lu Jingxing saw a reporter standing outside the ticket office with a signature microphone in his hand. He walked towards the reporter with a box in his hand.

"As you can see, there are a lot of pet lovers participating in this pet exhibition..." The reporter was talking when he saw Lu Jingxing coming from the parking lot.

"The familiar Lu Jingxing is here too. Let's follow the camera to see what kind of cats Lu brought." The reporter signaled the cameraman to turn the camera.

After a brief greeting, Lu Jingxing introduced the two cats in front of the camera: "This golden unicorn tail kitten is called Jin Qilin."

He used his heart language to make Jin Qilin meow at the camera.

Jin Qilin meowed as if it was open for business.

Lu Jingxing then turned the camera to Violet: "This is a female cat named Violet. Look at the purple on her head. Does it look like a flower?"

Violet pointed her head towards the camera, groomed her head with her front paws, and then looked at the camera with a pitiful expression.

"Look, she's still a little shy." Lu Jingxing laughed and joked.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for sharing. Now we will broadcast to Channel 2 and go to the venue to take a look." The reporter changed the channel and looked at Lu Jingxing: "If you have nothing to do, come with me. I have contacted the management and prepared a booth for you."

Lu Jingxing carried the two cats into the exhibition area.

At the booth, there were two racks on a relatively large platform, which could be used to tie cats to prevent them from escaping. Lu Jingxing tied them on it and said to Jin Qilin: "As long as you let others touch you and be gentle to others, you can eat a lot of cat strips."

Jin Qilin was a little unconvinced.

After a while, several young college students visited Lu Jingxing's booth.

"Wow, this golden cat is so special." A girl said in surprise.

"It seems to be a shorthair cat. Golden shorthairs are indeed rare, and it has a unicorn tail." The beautiful woman wearing glasses next to him seemed to know a lot.

Lu Jingxing explained to them: "It was originally a stray cat, and we picked it up. Although its bloodline is not pure, I don't think it affects its cuteness and playfulness."

Several people nodded. In fact, only cats participating in international competitions have special requirements for bloodline. Most people who raise and watch cats don't care too much about bloodline. People only care whether the cat is well-behaved, whether it is close to the owner, and whether it is cute.

So why care too much about bloodline? A person cannot be restricted by birth, and the same is true for cats.

Several girls took out cat strips and freeze-dried cats to feed it. Jin Qilin was willing to be stroked by several people, showing a happy expression.

"It seems that it is very suitable for going to a cat cafe." Lu Jingxing thought.

But Violet was watched by some slightly older judges. Purple is extremely rare in the cat world. Natural growth of purple hair can be said to be like opening jade from a stone.

Lu Jingxing had no chance to interrupt. Several judges were talking at once. Lu Jingxing filled in the relevant information of the two cats at the pet table, and then called an employee to help look after the cats.

He wanted to go around and look at cat food and so on.

Lu Jingxing came to the first pet product brand. Before he could understand it thoroughly, the brand handed him a bag with dozens of packages of cat strips. After being pulled to listen to the introduction of cat food for a few minutes, the brand staff went to welcome the next batch of wool party.

Looking at the large and small bags of pet snacks in the hands of the people around him, Lu Jingxing realized that many people came to get wool, but this is also a good marketing method. After all, the cost of a cat strip is so little, but the generosity of the manufacturer can make pet owners remember it for a long time.

Comparing the cat food of several companies, he was most impressed by the manufacturer that put out cat food for the exhibitors to taste. He tasted one with a puzzled look on his face. It was indeed not bad. To him, it was no different from biscuits and was even delicious.

But what he was most pleased about was that almost all businesses had written tips on treating stray cats and dogs well, and provided WeChat accounts for people like Lu Jingxing who feed stray cats and dogs, and could supply cat food at cost price if needed.

Lu Jingxing expressed his gratitude to these manufacturers who were willing to show their love for stray cats and dogs.

After a while, when he was comparing two types of kitten food, a video call came in. It was the director's phone call. Lu Jingxing found a slightly remote and quiet place to answer the call.

A lion suddenly appeared on the screen, scaring Lu Jingxing. The director's voice came from the screen: "Doctor Lu, look at this lion. It has been eating for several days and is too lazy to move. Is there something wrong with it?"

Lu Jingxing stared at the lion carefully, but he couldn't see anything through the screen. He put the microphone to his mouth: "Director, I'm outside now, and I can't see anything at this moment. How about I go to your place early tomorrow to check it out?"

The director turned the camera over and took a picture of his face from bottom to top with a death perspective: "Okay, thank you Doctor Lu..."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingxing was attracted by a stall surrounded by many people. He walked there. It turned out to be a reptile area. A reptile god brought a lot of snakes to the exhibition. On the stage, a golden python with red eyes was hanging around his neck and spitting out its tongue.

Many people gathered around his stall. Lu Jingxing realized that he was buying some small snakes, most of which were non-venomous and would not grow very big. Another boy on the side was explaining to customers the methods and experience of feeding and raising snakes.

Lu Jingxing squeezed to the front and looked at the introduction and explanation of each small snake attentively. At this time, the man with the snake hanging around his neck patted his shoulder.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lu Jingxing, the owner of Chongai Youjia?" the man asked.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Who are you?"

The man took the snake's head away from his face: "My name is Yi Wandou, you can call me Xiaowanzi, this is my online name."

Yi Wandou took the snake down with a smile: "I have been following you for a long time, I am one of your fans, I have to say, Mr. Lu, your medical skills are really amazing, many times I thought that the kittens could not be saved, you can make them recover, how about we add WeChat? I have a few kittens at home."

Lu Jingxing naturally did not resist making friends with such people. After adding WeChat, Lu Jingxing asked: "Can you introduce me to some snakes? I am opening a reptile pet shop, I see you have some pretty good-looking snakes here."

Yi Wandou nodded, motioned Lu Jingxing to move his head over, and then wrapped the big snake around Lu Jingxing's head.

Lu Jingxing and the snake looked at each other for a few times.

Seeing the slightly nervous Lu Jingxing, Yi Wandou laughed: "Come, Brother Lu, let me introduce you."

After a while, Lu Jingxing returned to his stall, with a bag full of cat food and several boxes for snakes.

The two cats were exhausted and lying lazily on the table. Lu Jingxing touched Jin Qilin's head: "How is it, are you full?"

Jin Qilin rolled his eyes at Lu Jingxing and burped: "I feel that cat strips are not so delicious."

Lu Jingxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Back to the store, Lu Jingxing brought a lot of bags into the store, and then collapsed on the chair in the office.

Lu Jingxing always vaguely remembered what he had to do, but the impression was suddenly not very deep.

He transferred from the cat room to the hospital, looking at the operating room, and suddenly remembered that he had to go to the zoo tomorrow and had to do some training today.

He quickly called Xiaojiu and the others, and personally counted the equipment.

After a while, Xiaojiu and another employee appeared in the equipment room.

"We are going to the zoo tomorrow, and I will do training with you today." Lu Jingxing flipped through the equipment.

"Didn't we agree to start training on Thursday? Why did we start training today?" Xiaojiu asked in confusion.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that one of the lions may have some problems, so I discussed with the director and moved it up a day, which means we have to do a physical examination tomorrow..."

Xiaojiu nodded.

"This is an anesthetic needle. For large animals, we paralyze them first and then do a physical examination." Lu Jingxing took out the needle: "This is a transmitter. We use the syringe to anesthetize the animal. Otherwise, it would be a bit dangerous to do it ourselves."

The two nodded seriously.

"This is a small ultrasound machine, which can be used to check some places with obvious problems..."

After counting the equipment and getting on the car, Lu Jingxing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that every day is very busy...
