If she relied on the pet hospital, the space and manpower would be readily available, and Jian Xiu would be able to help her solve the biggest difficulty she faced, but...

"But this will increase the workload of your employees, and I may not be able to pay you much money," said Fang Jianjin.

She is just a poor person. To put it bluntly, the stray dog ​​rescue group is just a group formed by a group of people who gather together spontaneously. She only takes the lead in some work such as news release, information collation, adoption and search, and is not involved in any interests.

Once stray cats and dogs are really to be centrally managed, in addition to issues such as venue, labor, and costs, there is another biggest problem, which is that their rescue group faces transformation and must change from a spontaneous group to an organized, disciplined and standardized group.

This requires her to devote more energy to it, work hard to generate income, form a virtuous circle, and have a strict, open and transparent management mechanism for cost control.

"This question involves a lot of things. I have never been very determined to do it. I am not sure if I can..." Fang Jianjin was very hesitant.

"So you might consider giving it a try first instead of just doing it directly," Jian Xiu said.

It has to be said that Fang Jianjin was very moved by Jian Xiu's proposal. It was almost like Jian Xiu was supporting her.

Even if this path may not be feasible in the future, the labor and venue issues do not involve layoffs or refunds; if it is feasible, when it reaches a certain scale, she will have explored a mature model, and it will not be too late to look for a place to expand and become stronger.

"Why are you helping me?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Help you? Not really. It's just that there are still a few people in your group who come to the pet hospital for treatment recently, which has helped us stabilize the customer base. So I also want to explore more possibilities to make the pet hospital's business better. It can be regarded as a win-win cooperation." Jian Xiu replied.

"Do you really believe that I can do it?" Fang Jianjin asked again.

"You'll know only after you try it." Jian Xiu did not encourage her blindly.

When Fang Jianjin met his eyes, for some reason, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

She took a deep breath and then said, "Then I'll discuss it with the core members. If we do it, I'll come up with a plan. As for cost sharing, we can discuss it later. If we don't do it, I'll definitely write you a letter."

"Okay, I look forward to your plan." Jian Xiu curled his lips slightly and said, "Let's eat."

Fang Jianjin nodded and quickly moved the plate of honey-glazed barbecued pork to Jian Xiu. "Try this. Their barbecued pork is pretty good, quite authentic."

She doesn't like to pick up food for others. Besides, there are no serving chopsticks, so it would look awkward for a girl to pick up food for him.

They had been talking all the time and hadn't eaten anything, so Fang Jianjin didn't know what to say next.

There was a subtle awkwardness between the two of them as they stopped talking.

Fang Jianjin had no choice but to change the topic to food, and the atmosphere became lively again.

She was only halfway through her meal when her phone rang.

Xuan He?

"Hello, what's the matter?" Fang Jianjin answered the phone.

"Mu Wanning showed up at the door of my apartment. I caught her. Come here quickly!" Xuan He's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What, Wan Ning appeared?" Fang Jianjin was shocked.

"Come here quickly! It's my bachelor apartment on Xiyun Road." Xuan He urged, "Come quickly! If you don't come soon, my innocence will be in jeopardy. I can't clear it even if I jump into the Yellow River!"

"Hello? Hello!" Fang Jianjin wanted to say something, but found that Xuan He had hung up.

Innocence at risk? What the hell?

"What's wrong? Is there something urgent?" Jian Xiu looked at Fang Jianjin.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Fang Jianjin immediately redialed Xuan He's number, but he didn't answer.

She thought about it and simply called Lu Shanshan.

"Have you finished your date?" Lu Shanshan's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Not yet," Fang Jianjin tilted his head and whispered, "Mu Wanning showed up, Xuan He called me, but I can't leave Jian Xiu alone now. Can you help me run a trip first?"

"Fang Jianjin, you are not right, you——"

"Shanshan, please, and Xuan He just said on the phone that his innocence was at risk and asked me to go find him quickly. I'm afraid something might happen." Fang Jianjin replied quickly.

Lu Shanshan took a deep breath and immediately said, "Okay, but I'm not going here for Xuan He. I'm going here so that you can have a successful date!"

"Okay, I'll be there later too."

"Stop talking nonsense and send me the address." Lu Shanshan hung up the phone first.

Fang Jianjin quickly sent her the address of Xuanhe Apartment and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Jian Xiu's voice also rang out, "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it."

"Ah, no, it's okay." Fang Jianjin smiled.

About twenty minutes later, Jian Xiu was the first to put down his chopsticks.

Fang Jianjin had almost finished her meal. Seeing that he had no intention of picking up his chopsticks, she called the waiter to settle the bill. Jian Xiu did not fight with her for the bill. Fang Jianjin breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself: I have finally paid for this meal I owed.

"Can I take you home?" Fang Jianjin pushed him out of the tea restaurant.

"No need. I know you have something to do. Go ahead and do it. I'll push the car slowly and then go back." Jian Xiu replied.

Fang Jianjin did have something to do, and seeing how considerate he was, she didn't refuse, so she apologized, "I'm so sorry, I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, bye."

"goodbye."

Jian Xiu watched her take a taxi and leave on the roadside. He stroked the armrest of the wheelchair with his fingers and watched for a long time. Only when the taxi was far away did he push the wheelchair towards the pet hospital.

*

Fang Jianjin rushed all the way to Xuan He's apartment.

As soon as I came out of the elevator, I heard Mu Wanning crying loudly.

Fang Jianjin knocked on the door, and after just one knock, Lu Shanshan opened the door.

"Come in quickly." Lu Shanshan only left a gap for someone to pass through.

"Where are you running to!"

Fang Jianjin had just put his head in when he saw Xuan He roughly throwing Mu Wanning onto the sofa.

She quickly squeezed in and asked Lu Shanshan, "What's going on?"

Lu Shanshan closed the door, locked it, and leaned her back against it, saying, "It's just right that you're here. Ask her. I want to know what's going on, too."

Lu Shanshan's eyes were extremely cold, as if they were frozen.

Xuan He immediately cried out for justice: "Lu Xiaoshan, I swear, there is nothing between me and this woman, you have to believe me!"

Lu Shanshan pursed her lips and said nothing.

Fang Jianjin looked at Lu Shanshan, then at Xuan He, then walked over to Mu Wanning and asked, "Wanning, what's going on?"

Lu Shanshan pretended to pick up her phone to check the time, then turned on the recording.
