Chapter 848 Cat Collection
After hearing what happened to him, everyone was sighing. The hemp rope picks out the smallest details to cut off bad luck and only seeks out the miserable. This probably refers to the boss.
Everyone expresses sympathy, but what should I say about this kind of thing? Too many words of comfort have become a burden to others.
Lu Jingxing coughed lightly: "Boss, these little guys look quite pitiful. Please give me a price and I'll see if I can accept it..."
The boss looked at him with very complicated emotions in his eyes, including gratitude and regret: "I won't say much about my thanks, but although they don't look very good now, they really cost me money when I bought them. It’s a lot of money, let’s open up the skylight and talk openly about the price. Since you are in this business, if you take it all, just give me this amount..."
He took out his cell phone and showed the numbers to Lu Jingxing.
It seemed like he had probably figured it out on the way here.
After Lu Jingxing saw the numbers, his expression didn't change much.
To be honest, if it were normal, he would definitely not charge this price.
These cats were all on the thin side and had some problems, so he took them back and had to deal with them all.
And since they are all adult cats, there is no price advantage.
The situation of his cat cafe and the owner are different, so the benefits these cats can ultimately bring to him are not great.
After all, he is also doing business...
Seeing his hesitation, the police comrade couldn't hold it anymore. He knew Lu Jingxing and had dealt with Officer Hu several times before.
He pulled Lu Jingxing aside: "Mr. Lu, is it because of the price... that?"
Lu Jingxing smiled slightly and nodded: "The price is indeed a bit high, but I..."
"I understand, I understand. You are also in business, not charity. I will go and talk to him. Alas, there is nothing we can do. If he doesn't deal with it, we receive police calls every day, and having to come every day is the next best thing. The main thing is that the day is getting hotter and these little things will die..." He shook his head.
Everyone has seen the scene they saw when they came in. If Lu Jinghe doesn't accept the situation now and the boss still doesn't care, they can't deal with it directly. After all, as the boss said, he paid for it. , it can’t be dealt with directly.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, I'll take it, I'll take it all..." Lu Jingxing said hurriedly, not wanting to embarrass these policemen.
"Really? Will you suffer a big loss?" the policeman asked.
Lu Jingxing shook his head: "No way. I'll take it back and deal with it properly. It should be fine. Besides, the boss's situation should be true. Even if it's a loss, I'll treat it as charity..."
"Thank you so much. Alas, there are still many good people..." This policeman looks young, probably about the same age as Lu Jingxing, but his tone of voice is the same as that of Officer Hu, with an old-fashioned feeling, probably because of his influence. Officer Hu has too much influence, Lu Jingxing thought.
Lu Jingxing looked back and felt confident, so he told the young policeman: "If you have something to do, you can go back first. I will explain to the boss here..."
When the young policeman heard what Lu Jingxing said, he felt really relieved. He shook Lu Jingxing's hand and said, "Thank you, thank you. I'll go back to Boss Hu and tell you that I'll give you a certificate then..." He chuckled.
"Haha, okay, I'll post it behind our cashier when the time comes..." Lu Jingxing also laughed.
Certificate of award? Good guy award? Lu Jingxing felt happy.
The young police officer also smiled. Seeing that Lu Jingxing was almost done talking, he turned around and walked to the boss and patted him: "We are also small police officers and can't help you much, but this boss Lu just said "Although your price is not low, he is still willing to accept it..." Then he whispered: "If you can, it will be less meaningless and make people feel more comfortable..."
The boss couldn't help but nod: "Thank you, police officer, thank you. Then I'll tell Boss Lu that I'll pay him a little less later..."
"Yes, that's it. We'll leave first. You guys can discuss it carefully..." He waved his hand, then gestured to Lu Jingxing who was standing at the window and left with his colleagues.
Seeing the police leave, the bar owner followed suit.
Lu Jingxing, Ji An and the boss were the only ones left in the store.
The boss took the initiative to lean towards Lu Jingxing and handed him a cigarette: "Boss Lu, I heard about you. The main business in my store almost started when I heard about you, so we really have some connections... …”
Lu Jingxing was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I'm sorry, so as an apology, I accept your number, so just pack it all up and give it to me..."
"Ah?" Now it was the boss's turn to be a little surprised? The price he quoted still had some room for counter-offering, and he thought Lu Jingxing would counter-offer.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lu Jingxing was a little surprised when he saw his boss's expression.
"Oh, no, no, then let's take stock. Are you taking them all away today?" The boss waved his hand quickly.
"To be honest, I wouldn't accept your price if it were offered to anyone else... It's just my opinion..." Lu Jingxing said.
"Thank you..." The boss choked up. He was a grown man and had shed tears many times in private.
Lu Jingxing patted his back: "It will be fine, everything will be fine..."
The boss put his hands together and cupped them, then bent down and started cleaning the cats on the floor.
Lu Jingxing also instructed Ji An: "Pull up all the cages on the car, load them separately, and see if one car can fit them..."
The bar owner came up again, heard what Lu Jingxing said, and asked: "Is this a deal?"
The boss looked up and nodded at him: "My friend, I'm sorry to bother you these days..."
The bar owner waved his hand arrogantly: "It's okay, it's a deal, right?"
Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, now we start counting..."
"That's good, that's good, then I'll call a cleaning lady up for you, oh, I'll pay for this, tell me when you're done, okay..." The bar owner also knew about the boss's affairs, and he let it go for what he had been going through for the past few months.
"I... I'll pay for it, thank you..." The boss said quickly.
"It's okay, it's okay, this small amount of money, and besides, I often ask her to help me clean over there, I'll just go and tell her, do you want to wait until you're done, or can you start now?" asked the bar owner.
Lu Jingxing stood up and looked around: "We just need to load the car. If she wants to come up to clean now, that's fine..."
"Okay, okay, I'll let her come up..." The bar owner said and went down the ladder at the back.
Ji An walked in from the front door.
He took more than ten cages at a time. The stairs were not wide, and Lu Jingxing didn't know how he got up.
Seeing him coming up, he hurried over and took his hand at the door.
The cages were not opened, but they were a little heavy, but they didn't take up much space.
After the two put the cages on the ground, they started to load them up quickly.
The boss also came to help.
As soon as the two were loaded, the long-haired Garfield cat came in directly, lying in the cage, watching Lu Jingxing and the others busy without any shyness.
When Lu Jingxing turned around to get the fourth cage, he saw Garfield in the cage at a glance. He stopped and spoke to it: "Do you like this?"
The little guy was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Meow... Are you here to save us?"
Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, I will try my best to save you..."
"Meow... Thank you..." The little guy cried softly like a little girl. Although its hair was tangled, it did not affect its princess-like expression. There was a little melancholy and some aloofness.
Lu Jingxing couldn't help but stroke its head. The little guys suffered.
The cages were installed, and cats ran in automatically in several cages.
"Brother Lu, I'll put some canned food in it. In this way, we probably don't need to catch them. They will come in by themselves..." Ji An said with a smile.
"Okay, go get some up, lock up those that have already entered, and take them down together later." Lu Jingxing nodded.
The cats in the cat cafe are relatively not afraid of people, and they are also relatively docile. Even if Lu Jingxing and his friends go to catch them, there are not many who will be aggressive, so catching them is not a problem.
But even after a basic cleaning, the smell is still very strong.
Lu Jingxing and others are wearing masks, and they still feel a little nauseous.
At this time, the boss's phone rang. He looked at the number and answered it immediately: "Zizi, wait a little longer, Daddy will come..."
After hanging up the phone, he was ready to continue to help pack the cage. Lu Jingxing waved at him: "Come on, let's add WeChat, I will transfer the money to you later, you go first, it won't be finished here for a while, we will take pictures for you after we are done, and you can take time to deal with the rest of the problems."
"Thank you so much, the child is alone in the hospital, and he can't leave me at all. I'm really sorry..." The boss heard it and immediately stopped the work in his hands and stood up.
"It's okay, I understand, come and scan me..." Lu Jingxing opened his QR code and asked the boss to scan it directly.
After the two added each other as friends, Lu Jingxing transferred the money directly.
When the boss saw the money was in his account, he wiped his tears silently, and then shook hands with Lu Jingxing: "Boss Lu, you deserve to be rich, you are such a good person..."
Lu Jingxing smiled slightly: "Go and do your work, the child will be fine..."
No one had ever said that he was a good person before, but since he started dealing with small animals, he found that many people said he was a good person. Perhaps, this can be regarded as a blessing.
After standing for a while, the boss left.
It took Lu Jingxing and Ji An almost two hours to pack all the cats into boxes.
