Chapter 85 Chapter 22 [You have changed a lot...]
Technically, the hospital's predecessor was a private beauty salon that Yan Hao had acquired, nearing bankruptcy. After the acquisition, Yan Hao quickly completed the necessary paperwork and qualifications, including carefully selecting the staff.
Each one is personally interviewed by his special assistant, and then background checked by professionals. After joining the company, they will sign a thick confidentiality agreement.
It's quite troublesome,
But he was paid well.
As for the decoration, even though the original beauty center was well decorated and only needed some minor modifications before it could open to customers, Yan Hao still hired another decoration team.
This includes major platforms continuously launching large amounts of advertisements to prepare for the opening, and some of them are also synchronized to offline buses, subways and shopping malls.
With the money invested one by one, the effect was naturally obvious. On the first day of opening, the hospital corridor was filled with parents holding their pets.
Of course, most of them are cats and dogs.
After all, keeping exotic pets is a niche group of people, so on the opening day, Shengqing only received three exotic pets.
The first one was a chubby, light grey hamster.
According to the computer display, the hamster's name was Huihui. When its owner came in with the box, or perhaps it sensed the presence of a predator, the little hamster was very afraid of Shengqing and kept shivering under the thick bedding, refusing to come out no matter how much I called.
Gray's owner is a boy who dresses very uniquely. He wears a black leather jacket with rivets on his upper body and trousers with various chains hanging on them. His hair is silver-gray, and he wears eyebrow and lip studs. There are also some faint black tattoos on his neck.
It seems that he has a bad temper.
When the boy first entered, Shengqing subconsciously sat up straight. Yan Hao, watching the surveillance video from over ten kilometers away, was also closely watching every move on the screen.
Fortunately, the boy was more polite than he looked. He spoke softly and apologized to Shengqing when he found that the hamster refused to come out.
He tapped the box gently:
"Gray, come out, hurry up..."
The litter didn't budge.
In the end, Huihui was forcibly taken out by the owner and placed on the table. The little hamster quickly shrank into the owner's palm, curling up into a chubby little gray ball, trembling constantly.
In response, Huihui's owner was extremely flattered and said in surprise that he had raised Huihui for four months and this was the first time he was so close to him.
"You don't know, it's very arrogant at home, often destroys the house, and likes to bite people, you see..."
As he spoke, the boy rolled up his sleeves to show Shengqing the horizontal and vertical light red scars on his arms, and then opened the photo album on his mobile phone to show him the picture of his hand covered in blood.
Huihui's worth is only thirty yuan, but he had been sick twice before and had spent almost three thousand yuan going to other hospitals. The boy didn't care about the money, but what he cared about most was that Huihui always bit him.
The boy sighed and said he was planning to give the pet away, but he was a little reluctant. He saw on WeChat Moments that they had a doctor who could communicate with pets. Although he didn't quite believe it, he still came with the attitude of giving it a try.
"I just want to know if Huihui hates me?"
"Okay, I'll ask."
That was Shengqing's first reception. After understanding the host's request, he began to communicate with Huihui.
Gray Gray's master could not hear the overly low-frequency sound. From his perspective, he only saw the beautiful cherry-colored lips of the doctor, who was a little too young, trembling slightly.
I don't know what was said, but the hamster that was originally curled up and trembling in the owner's palm suddenly stopped moving, raised its head cautiously, and stared at Shengqing with a pair of bright eyes.
The whole conversation lasted about ten minutes.
As Huihui's master looked nervous and expectant, Shengqing looked at him and answered his first question: "Huihui doesn't hate you."
"Then why did you bite me?"
Seungkyung: “He doesn’t know it’s you.”
"ah?"
"Do you change your clothes frequently, wear perfume frequently, and change the jewelry on your hands frequently?"
“…”
"Did he bite you more often when you took him to the hospital?"
“………”
Hamsters have a small brain capacity and poor eyesight. They don't actually know that they are feeling so uncomfortable because they are sick, and they can't even understand what being sick means. They just feel very painful...
When Shengqing asked Huihui if it hated humans around it, it didn't even know what hate was. When asked why it bit people, Huihui replied because it hurt.
Shengqing tried his best to convey the questions and answers he got from Huihui to Huihui's master exactly as they were. After listening to them, the boy suddenly understood.
After detailed discussions with another assistant who knew hamsters very well, Huihui's owner discussed the precautions for getting along with hamsters. When leaving, he also thanked Shengqing several times.
It was also the owner of this gray dog who gave Shengqing the first five-star review. Shengqing read this review over and over again that night.
Because of the opening ceremony, Shengqing was quite busy for nearly half a month. Besides exotic pets, the hospital also accepts cats and dogs.
The big dog that left the most profound impression on him was a huge Alaskan dog, which was dressed up beautifully by its owner and had a collar with an exquisite wreath around its neck.
As soon as she entered the clinic, she began to tell Shengqing how much she loved dogs and how much dogs loved her.
The reason why she looked for Shengqing was very simple. She just wanted her to tell the dog named Yuanbao that she loved it very much and hoped that it could be reborn as her baby in the next life.
After communicating with Yuanbao, Shengqing frowned and told her owner that it would be better to stay away from Yuanbao, because the dog did not think she was its owner, but instead thought that its status was very high. If it continued like this, it might hurt people.
In contrast, there was another golden retriever that was also well taken care of, with clean and smooth fur, but the owner began to complain as soon as he saw Shengqing.
She thought, "Don't people online say Golden Retrievers are the sweethearts of dog street culture? How come I've had one for two years and it's not getting to me at all? It never acts like a spoiled child, never greets me when I open the door, and usually just sits alone in a corner at home. It's just too cold."
Sheng Qing's answer was:
"Hello, I asked, and it didn't say it hated you. It actually liked you. It's just its personality."
Golden Retriever's owner: "..."
Shengqing communicated with Jinmao again, and when he looked up again, his tone was a little more determined than before.
"Yes, your Tangyuan's personality is like this. He prefers to be alone. He doesn't dislike you..."
The golden retriever named Tangyuan suddenly looked up at its owner, then gently rubbed its head against his hand.
"What did Tangyuan say?"
Shengqing listened carefully.
"Tangyuan said that if you like, it can sleep next to you every day and then come to pick you up every day..."
The owner's expression was visibly filled with joy.
So three days later, Shengqing received his second five-star rating. Tangyuan's owner described in detail Tangyuan's performance before and after he came home in the long review, and the joy between the lines was beyond words.
That comment was liked many times and became a high-quality comment pushed to the homepage, which invisibly advertised Shengqing of the hospital.
"Oh, there's a chicken." Sheng Qing took out his phone and flipped through the photo album to show his two old friends a picture. "Someone actually still raises chickens..."
This chicken is called Sanqi. Recently, it starts crowing every time it sees its owner. The owner wants to ask if it is because he is at work during the day and the chicken is too lonely and misses him too much?
After asking carefully, Sheng Qing shook his head and said to his owner, "No, it's too hot. You should turn on the air conditioner or an electric fan."
"I'm on vacation today, tomorrow as well, and I'll be back to work the day after tomorrow."
Shengqing said this with some anticipation.
His former companions obviously didn't understand his feelings, especially Kiki. After all, when he was in the circus, what he hated most was performing.
How can you be so happy at work?
"It's different." Shengqing shook his head, "I'm quite happy now..."
Just as he was speaking, his cell phone started to vibrate, and then the ringtone of an incoming call began to sound.
A word jumped on the screen:
--【strict】
When the call was connected, Shengqing didn't say anything, but waited quietly for the other party to speak.
"Are you still at Genting?"
Although the zoo in Genting City is not the largest zoo in the city, it is the zoo that treats animals the best. In order to balance income and expenditure, the zoo rarely takes the initiative to add animals. As for why it suddenly rescued the remaining animals from a foreign circus, it is unknown.
A man's mellow voice sounded from the receiver. It sounded like he was in an office and the surroundings were very quiet.
Shengqing hummed, "What about you?"
"I haven't gotten off work yet." The man's voice was filled with a smile. "I just suddenly missed you so much."
The person was clearly not in front of him, but for some reason, Shengqing seemed to suddenly smell a honey-like scent on the person through the receiver.
"Can I come pick you up?"
"I'll be back soon."
"Oh well."
Only the first two times Sheng Qing needed Yan Hao to drive him over, but after a few times, he gradually learned how to take the shuttle bus, and then slowly learned how to ride a bicycle and an electric scooter...
The car is still learning...
According to his previous learning progress, he should be able to learn it quickly. As long as he gets his driver's license, he can drive himself and go wherever he wants. Yan Hao has been looking for a car for him for a long time.
【car? 】
Qiqi stood up excitedly and turned around a few times.
[Is that the big metal box with four wheels? You can drive that?! Is it difficult?]
“I thought it was difficult at first, too.”
Shengqing recalled his first driving lesson. He sat in the passenger seat, listening to Yan Hao patiently explain the name and function of every part of the car, where it started, how to start, how to brake, and so on.
What then? What then?
"Then," Shengqing continued to recall, "I first learned it in my own yard. I was very good at going straight, but when I was learning to turn..."
Zhima, who had been lying motionless beside him, suddenly interrupted Shengqing's story.
You've changed a lot...
The female black bear lay lazily on the stone slab in the shade, licking the fur between her paw pads.
[Really, you talk a lot more now than before...]
Shengqing remained silent.
He forgot how long it had been since he thought about the old days, when he was passed back and forth in different circuses, picked and sold like merchandise.
Sheng Qing had already gotten used to it by then. It didn't matter to him where he was or what he was doing. He was just waiting for death to come.
Then…
Met Yan Hao.
【Now I love to laugh too.】
Sesame continued.
[It seems like you're doing well with that human named Yan Hao, and he treats you well.]
Yes, yes, yes…
Qiqi also came over at this time and circled around Shengqing again and again.
【Promote to the Minister! Promote to the Minister! 】
[You've gained a lot of weight and height compared to before. Does everyone grow taller when they transform?!]
"I don't know," Shengqing said honestly. "I grew taller after I reached adulthood."
【I want to become a human! 】
【How did you change! 】
Teach me!
Teach me!
As Qiqi kept crying, his keeper came running over, wearing an apron and gloves. He hurried over and skillfully checked Qiqi's wound.
After checking, I found Shengqing next to me.
The breeder was familiar with Sheng Qing and immediately greeted him warmly: "Mr. Sheng, you are here again?"
Shengqing nodded.
"I just thought Qiqi had a fight with someone..." The breeder patted his chest with lingering fear, "It was the last time. Luckily I discovered it in time..."
What fight? Shengqing had never heard Qiqi mention it, so he immediately asked, "When did it happen?"
The keeper was about to explain in detail when he felt a tug on his waist and discovered that Qiqi was pulling at his legs, as if asking him to stop.
"He won't let me say it, which means he lost the fight."
"With whom?"
Qiqi whined in his throat, stood on his hind legs, and pushed the keeper out with his front legs.
It was almost closing time at the zoo, so Shengqing stood up and waved to the zookeeper and his two old friends: "I'm leaving now. I'll come see you next time."
When Shengqing walked out of the zoo, he was about to take out his cell phone to hail a taxi, when suddenly, he smelled a familiar scent in the wind. He stopped and looked in a certain direction.
Familiar vehicle, familiar license plate.
And the familiar person leaning on the car.
"Why are you here?" Sheng Qing looked at the tall man walking through the crowd towards him. "Didn't you say I didn't need to come?"
It’s Yan Hao.
I don't know how long I waited for him outside.
The man walked over, not caring about the eyes of the people around him, and hugged the boy tightly with his arms.
"Qingqing, I miss you so much."
The scorching heat sprayed on his ears, and he could clearly feel his heart beating continuously through the layer of flesh. He hugged her so tightly that Shengqing felt as if it was his own heart.
Shengqing slowly raised his arms, gently hugged him back, and responded to him by imitating his previous words: "I missed you too."
The only response he received was an increasingly sweet smell.
"When did you come?"
"I was on my way when I called."
“…”
"Aren't you very busy lately?"
"Not bad."
Yan Hao acts too high-profile, which will definitely attract some annoying flies in the dark. It is true that there is such a thing, but Yan Hao is not a decoration. Will he do nothing and just watch others attack his partner?
"That's all my business."
“………”
"How about we think about where to go on a date tomorrow?"
Dating?
Is that the kind you see online?
Shengqing was full of anticipation and nodded.
