Dream Pet Shop

Membership cards began to be promoted in the store on weekends. These membership cards were more popular than Xia Ji imagined. On the first day alone, more than 100 customers applied for the cards. Xia Ji quickly contacted the manufacturer and ordered another [-] cards.

After the official opening of the pet grooming salon, driven by the benefits of the membership card, the popularity is not bad. Although it can't make much money at the moment, at least it looks quite lively.Xia Ji believes that as long as customers experience it with their pets, the reputation of the pet grooming salon will gradually increase, and more and more repeat customers will come.

Xia Ji checked the system interface and found that the progress of the intermediate tasks was 15/100, and the newly added progress was basically obtained by rescuing stray pets. Although he cooperated with the Jiangcheng stray pet association, the progress of the tasks was still very slow.After all, it is only limited to the stray pets rescued by the association, the base is still too small.

Xia Ji was staring at the association's website in a daze when he received a WeChat message from Ye Qian, the vice president of the association.

"Boss Xia, help me!! Only you can help me!!" Ye Qian's tone was very urgent, which shocked Xia Ji.

Xia Ji quickly replied to her: "What happened?!"

Ye Qian broke down and said: "I'm going to die! I'm in a hurry! My hamster is going to die again. Although I know that you are cooperating with the association and the matter of private pets should be resolved by yourself, all I can think of right now is your clinic. Come on, please Manager Xia, I can pay for it myself."

Xia Ji hurriedly comforted her: "Why are you so out of touch? I'm now a member of your association. It's okay to help the vice president. You can just bring the hamster over here. It just so happens that Brother Long is not busy today."

"Thank you so much!" Ye Qian sent a picture of kneeling.

Xia Ji got up and went to the next door to tell Long Wei that Ye Qian was coming, so that he could get ready.

After a while, Ye Qian arrived with a cage in a hurry. When she opened the cage, she saw a round, fluffy hamster lying upright in the cage.

Ye Qian said nervously: "No, is it still a step too late this time?"

"Don't worry, let me take a look first." Long Wei took the hamster out of the cage, listened to it with a stethoscope, and found that the heart was still beating, so he said: "It's not dead yet, there is help, you sit and wait. Let's take a while." So he turned around and entered the internal consultation room with the hamster and baby mermaid in his arms.

When Ye Qian heard that there was still hope for salvation, her tense heartstrings finally relaxed. She sat down on the sofa, rubbed her chest and comforted herself: "Brother Long said that if there is salvation, there must be salvation! I really trust his medical skills, Boss Xia." , thank you so much.”

Xia Ji poured her a glass of water and said with a smile, "You're welcome, I've raised hamsters to death before seeing you."

This sentence hit Ye Qian's sore spot, she gripped Xia Ji's arm resentfully and complained, "It's not just raising to death, it's raising six to death!"

Xia Ji twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "Since you can't keep them alive, why do you keep raising them?" Don't harm the hamsters anymore.

Ye Qian explained aggrievedly: "I know what you are thinking, you must think that I am harming hamsters. But I can swear, I am very good to them, it's just...it's just that this guy likes to commit suicide!"

"Suicide???" Xia Ji was very surprised. This was the first time he had heard that pets would commit suicide.

"Yeah, at first I thought it was because I didn't take good care of myself, but that's not the case. This creature will commit suicide if it is not fed, and it will commit suicide if it is fed late; it will commit suicide by ignoring it, playing with it and failing to catch it, and not being with it To play or to commit suicide...too glassy! But I really like this kind of soft little animal, so I have to raise tears every time."

Xia Ji's expression was complicated, and he didn't know how to comfort the girl: "Well, don't think too much, it should be fine this time."

Xia Ji waited with Ye Qian for a while, Long Wei and the baby mermaid came out of the internal consultation room, and the little hamster woke up again, eating melon seeds in the cage.

Seeing that the little hamster was fine, Ye Qian almost cried with joy: "That's great! Thank you, Brother Long, and Boss Xia!"

Xia Ji asked curiously: "What happened to this hamster? Did it really commit suicide?"

Long Wei shook his head and said, "It may be a behavioral disorder caused by mental anxiety."

"Mental anxiety?" Ye Qian wondered: "Why is it mentally anxious? I didn't put any pressure on it, and I have been taking care of it very carefully."

Long Wei asked her: "Can you tell me about your working hours and rest time?"

Ye Qian immediately said: "My schedule is very regular! I am basically in the association all day during the day, but I usually take it with me to take care of it, so as not to be lonely. I go to bed on time after ten o'clock when I get home from work, and I don't care about it. Stay up late, it will definitely not disturb the rest of the little hamster at night."

"That's right." Long Wei explained: "A hamster's natural routine is actually the opposite of most people's. A hamster is a nocturnal animal, sleeping during the day and only active at night, but you always take it with you during the day. If you don’t have a normal rest, you will fall asleep again during the most active time at night. After a long time, the hamster’s work and rest pattern will be disordered, and the spirit will be restless, which will lead to abnormal behavior.”

Ye Qian suddenly realized: "It turned out that I overcorrected. Before the hamster died, I thought it was because I was not at home during the day and didn't take care of it. It has a glass heart. Now it is not good for it to bring it around every day."

Long Wei suggested: "You can buy a cage with an automatic feeder and waterer, so that it doesn't matter if you are not at home during the day, and the time to interact with the hamster can be after get off work."

"Okay, thank you for the reminder, Brother Long." Ye Qian used her mobile phone to write down all the precautions that Long Wei just said, and said, "I will post these precautions for feeding hamsters to the association forum when I go back, so that everyone Pay attention."

When mentioning the forum, Xia Ji was quite interested, so he chatted with Ye Qian: "I see that there are more members of the association in the forum. Do you all have pets?"

Ye Qian said: "Actually, the original intention of building this forum is to promote the adoption of stray pets, but there are many association members on the forum, and everyone has their own pets, so it has gradually become a forum for pet lovers to exchange ideas. Ye Qian sighed: "Well, speaking of adoption, it is another headache. There are more and more stray pets in the association, but there are still very few people adopting them. If this continues, euthanasia will have to be carried out."

……

Ye Qian took the hamster back, but Xia Ji kept thinking about what she said. If the stray pet can't find an adopter, will the final result be euthanasia?

Xia Ji logged into the forum of the association website again, and found that most of the posts in it were about pet adoption information, and there were relatively few posts about exchanging pet raising experiences. However, the posts with the most replies were experience exchange posts. people reply.

Xia Ji noticed that the forum posted new adoption posts almost every day. The association rescued one or two new stray pets every day. There were more and more stray pets. It needs to consume a lot of manpower and material resources. When the load exceeds the capacity of the association, the association can only euthanize them.

Xia Ji knew that this kind of euthanasia is not bad, after all, the drugs for euthanasia are very expensive.There are more stray pets across the country who were directly injected with air and died of heart failure.

Xia Ji feels that the adoption of stray pets is probably the most important problem that the association needs to solve now.

At first, Xia Ji thought it was the fault of the website traffic, so he asked Ye Qian if she had posted the adoption information on other platforms.Ye Qian said that the association also has an official blog, so Xia Ji went to the official blog to have a look.

As a result, Xia Ji found that the number of fans of this official blog was not as large as that of his own pet store, and the forwarding of the adoption information was very few.

Xia Ji carefully looked at the content of the adoption Weibo, and compared the adoption information posts in the forum, and finally found that the problem was not in the traffic, but in the copywriting itself.

I don't know who wrote the copy, but it is completely in the style of social documentary, and the tragic experience of stray pets is exaggerated in the copy, which will only make people feel heavy and suspicious of human nature.There are also accompanying pictures, as if to match the copywriting, the stray pets are taken in such a miserable way, in short, how pitiful it is, people can't bear to look at it, so the number of clicks is very small.

On the other hand, cute pet pictures and cute pet videos on the Internet are just the opposite, with over [-] hits and a lot of retweets.This gap is enough to show that everyone likes cute things. Whether it is raising pets in the cloud or raising pets in real life, most people want to heal their souls and relax their minds.

The adoption information of stray pets is the opposite. Although it highlights the tragic fate of pets, it will only make people feel depressed and heavy, and constantly associate with the dark side of society.Sympathy belongs to sympathy, who is willing to make mistakes for themselves?

Xia Ji thinks that to change the current situation that it is difficult to adopt stray pets, we must first change the means of publicity. We should let everyone see the healthy and lovely side of stray pets. They are the same as ordinary pets, and there is no difference, so that people will be willing to understand them. , adopt them.

Xia Ji thought that recently Xiaoyu would often do live broadcasts of pet grooming to attract popularity, so he had an idea.

Xia Ji called the president Lu Chenyi: "President Lu, I heard from Ye Qian that stray pets in the association are rarely adopted, so I thought of a way to discuss it with you first."

Lu Chenyi turned on his mobile phone for hands-free. He was applying a mask for himself and the dog at home, pressed the mask and said carefully: "Listen carefully, your ideas are generally reliable, you can tell from the fact that you run such a big store."

"Hahaha, where is it?" Xia Ji was modest, and then said: "It's like this, the pet grooming parlor here has recently opened, and occasionally live broadcast pet grooming to attract customers, I looked at the stray pets in the association I feel like taking pictures of them is too ugly."

"Uh... I took those photos, I thought it would make people feel more compassionate." Lu Chenyi said with a tense mouth.

"..." Xia Ji didn't expect these to be the masterpieces of the president himself, so he said awkwardly: "It's quite pitiful, but I think if stray pets become a little cuter, like those pets in pet shops, There should be more people willing to adopt them."

President Lu, who didn't care about the pet's appearance at all, thought about it seriously, and then realized: "What you said seems to make sense."

"...Uh huh, so, I plan to regularly select some stray pets for a major transformation. My beautician will give them a makeover and broadcast the transformation process live. This will definitely attract people. After everyone sees the transformation Lovely stray pets, there must be more people willing to adopt them."

"Sounds very good, but I have to trouble your beautician again, I feel very sorry." Lu Chenyi said.

Xia Ji hurriedly said: "No, no, the live broadcast is originally to promote the pet beauty salon. It can be regarded as using these stray pets as models, so it is mutually beneficial."

"Okay!" Lu Chenyi stopped being pretentious, and immediately made a decision: "My name is Ye Qian, and I will send you all the information of the stray pets in the association. Tell her which pet you choose. After the time is arranged, we will send the pets to you." Send it to your store."

"Okay, I hope this event will be a success." Xia Ji hung up the phone.

Lu Chenyi looked at the phone interface, with admiration in his eyes, and the feeling of heroic sympathy for Xia Ji surged in his heart again.Although Xia Ji said that this was a matter of mutual benefit, Lu Chenyi knew in his heart that in the end it was still the benefit of the association.

Xia Ji was happy to help others without asking for anything in return, Lu Chenyi couldn't withdraw money, so he had to log into the Taobao store of Dream Pet Store again, and placed an order for [-] jade silk masks.

……

Early the next morning, Ye Qian sent Xia Ji the information on the stray pets in the association. Xia Ji seriously suspected that all the photos of the registered stray pets were taken by Lu Chenyi himself, and each one was uglier than the other.After discussing with Xiaoyu, Xiaji and Xiaoyu finally chose a stray dog.

After confirming the time for the live broadcast, Xia Ji deliberately publicized it on Weibo and signed up the Jiangcheng Stray Pet Rescue Association.Thinking about the comparison before and after the pet transformation, Xia Ji directly used the photos taken by Lu Chenyi to edit such a Weibo.

"The big transformation of stray pets, let's witness its beautiful transformation together! This event is co-organized by Dream Pet Store and Jiangcheng Stray Pet Rescue Association. It will be broadcast live on the platform at that time, so please pay attention. [Picture]"

After Xia Ji posted this Weibo, he sent a WeChat message to remind Ye Qian to use the association's official blog to forward it.

Not long after, many fans came to hear the news.

"The dog in the photo is too pitiful...Whoever kills a thousand knives has raised it and is not responsible."

"Wow! Dream Pet Store has cooperated with Jiangcheng Stray Pet Rescue Association? It's so positive, this must be forwarded and supported!"

"The dog is so pitiful, I hope to find a better owner."

"I haven't paid attention to this aspect before, but I decided to pay attention to the stray pet rescue association today."

"Forwarded it! Looking forward to the event! Today's boss has an aura of [-] meters!"

……

After the promotional Weibo of "Stray Pet Transformation" was sent out, the number of followers on the official blog of the association began to increase. Ye Qian was so happy that she kept sending praises to Xia Ji on WeChat, saying that Xia Ji had a way. The number of fans has not increased as much as today in a month.

In the afternoon, Lu Chenyi and Ye Qian brought the stray dog ​​over.

This is a small Pomeranian, who was rescued by the association half a month ago.Although Pomeranian is a small dog, it has a brave personality and is never afraid of big dogs. When it was rescued, this Pomeranian was fighting with a big dog and was bitten by the big dog.

After being brought back to the association, the wound on his body has basically healed after the treatment and care of the veterinarian.But at that time, for treatment, the veterinarian shaved the hair near the wound, and now the Pomeranian has long and short hair, with bumps and holes.In addition, the association's pet cages are crowded and manpower is limited. The Pomeranian has no one to take care of it, its coat color is dull, and its eyes are full of dirty tears, which looks particularly ugly.

Xia Ji set up the live broadcast equipment in front of the operating table of the beauty salon, Xiaoyu was getting acquainted with the Pomeranian so that the transformation activities later could go smoothly, and the golden python was preparing the things needed for the transformation.

Lu Chenyi, Ye Qian, and Xia Ji were sitting on the sofa facing each other, scrolling through Weibo and platforms, and always paying attention to the audience's reactions in the live broadcast room.

The Pomeranian rubbed Xiaoyu's palm affectionately, and Xiaoyu said to Xia Ji, "It's time to start."

"Okay." Xia Ji got up and turned on the live broadcast equipment, entered the live broadcast room, and the live broadcast room immediately began to frantically flicker the barrage.

"Wow! I saw my beautiful home again!!"

"One beauty and one beauty, look over here! Mom loves you!"

"Upstairs fans, please respect yourself. The focus of today's live broadcast is on pet grooming."

"I didn't expect that the beauty blogger I've been following turned out to be the pet groomer of Dream Pet Shop? This is fate!"

"Upstairs Village Netcom? Yimei did a live broadcast of pet grooming some time ago!"

"Oh, this Pomeranian looks thinner than in the photo, so pitiful."

……

Amidst the chatter of the audience, Xiaoyu started the first step of the pet transformation. He first gave the Pomeranian a careful bath, and used the special pet shampoo in the store when he took a bath. , The foam of this shampoo is very rich, Xiaoyu just rubbed it a few times, the white bubbles immediately submerged the Pomeranian, leaving only two black eyes.

"Oh my god! There are so many bubbles! Is this the bubble bath in the membership benefits? It can be said to be very conscientious."

"Hahaha, the dog was submerged in foam and looked at a loss."

"It's so cute! I kind of want to buy this brand of shampoo, and use it for my dog ​​when I come back."

After rubbing for a while, Xiaoyu washed off the foam on the Pomeranian with warm water. Just the Pomeranian after taking a bath shocked everyone.

"Come and see! The ugly duckling turns into a white swan after taking a bath?? I found that the dog's facial features are quite cute."

"What kind of shampoo is this? It should be a cosmetic medicine! Can you become so cute after taking a bath?"

"What's the fuss? There was too much dirt on my face before, and after washing it, it revealed its original appearance."

Xia Ji adjusted the camera and took a close-up of the Pomeranian's face. Although the hair was still wet and dripping, the hair became soft and shiny after washing, and even those round eyes wanted to be washed Generally, become very juicy.This Pomeranian is also very intelligent, as if knowing that many people are watching it through the camera, it grins and sticks out its tongue.

"Did the dog just smile at the camera?"

"It's clean, the little guy is happy too!"

"This dog is very intelligent, and I really want to keep it."

Xiaoyu wiped the Pomeranian with a dry towel, and then pressed the air-drying button on the operating table, and immediately there was a soft and dry wind blowing from the five sides of the operating table, and Xiaoyu reached out and gently stroked the Pomeranian's fur.

"Wow! This pet grooming salon is so advanced, it's the first time I've seen this way of drying hair."

"Air-drying is good! I used to be afraid to send pets to the beauty parlor for a bath, because the temperature of their hair dryer is too high, and it doesn't matter if the pet is scalded. Now that there is such an advanced method, I would like to try it. "

"Indeed, the dog seems to enjoy it, and the hair dries quickly, so there is no need to worry about the pet catching cold."

After drying, the Pomeranian looks like a different dog than before bathing. I don’t know what magical ingredients are added to the pet shampoo. After bathing, the Pomeranian’s milky yellow hair is shiny and very fluffy.

Xiaoyu picked up the razor and began to trim the hair of the Pomeranian. His movements were crisp and neat, and the razor pushed forward without hesitation, cutting the Pomeranian's original hairs of different lengths to a shorter one. There is a dense feeling.

"Wait... this hair is not easy to shave."

"Yes, this round head, thick short hair...how come it looks more and more like a Shiba Inu?"

"233333, Yimei is really amazing, Pomeranian is Shiba Inu in a second, beauty is comparable to plastic surgery!"

"Indeed! Looking at it this way, it looks exactly like Xiaodou Chai! It's so cute, I want to adopt it!"

"Don't fight me upstairs, it's the love dog of my dreams!"

……

Ye Qian saw a lot of people saying they want to adopt this Pomeranian in the barrage, and shouted happily: "Successful, successful, President, have you seen it? Many people want to adopt this Pomeranian!"

Lu Chenyi nodded and smiled, and praised: "Boss Xia, you still have a way."

Xia Ji smiled and said to Ye Qian: "Now send the association's contact information to the live broadcast room, and those who really want to adopt should contact the association."

"Okay, I'll post it right away." Ye Qian took out her phone.

Over there, Xiaoyu has trimmed the hair of the Pomeranian. She took out the Japanese style furoshiki prepared in advance and tied it around the neck of the Pomeranian. The Pomeranian immediately looked more like the Japanese Azuki Shiba. "

In the end, Xiaoyu picked up the Pomeranian, blinked at the camera, and said, "Okay, that's all for today's transformation, everyone, come and adopt this cutie!"

"Crit! My nosebleed!"

"Yimei is great! Call for Yimei!"

"This wink is contracted by me!"

"I look forward to more such activities, so that more people can see the beauty of stray pets."

"+1, this event is so meaningful!"

……

"It's quite interesting." Hu Ling hugged the tablet, pinching his hair and talking to himself.

"What are you looking at!" A tall male model in the studio came over, patted Hu Ling on the shoulder, and complained, "I'm exhausted, but the filming is over."

"Thank you." Hu Ling picked up an unopened bottle of drink and handed it to the male model.

The male model took the drink, glanced at the content on Hu Ling's tablet, and found that it was a pet grooming live broadcast, so he asked him: "Why, do you want to keep a pet?"

"No, I just think this beauty salon is amazing. The dog has a big difference before and after the transformation, especially the color of the hair. I don't know what shampoo is used." Hu Lingte rewinds the recorded picture and stares at it. I looked at the vague shampoo bottle for a long time, trying to see the brand on it clearly.

The male model teased him: "Are you stupid for taking pictures? Why are you staring at pet shampoo? Do you want to buy it for yourself?"

Hu Ling pinched his dry and forked hair due to frequent styling, and said, "How is it possible? I'm just curious."

"Handsome Lingda, you're handsome enough, don't you worry about such trivial things as whether your hair is good or not, even if you're carrying a straw, there are still a lot of magazines looking for you to shoot the cover. Let's go, call it a day Go have a drink!" The male model patted him.

Hu Ling nodded with a smile. Before exiting the live broadcast room, she glanced at the introduction of the live broadcast room and remembered the name of the pet grooming salon.

The author has something to say: The little hamster with a glass heart: "...I'll show you how to commit suicide in minutes! (￣^￣)"

--------------------------

ps Dou Chai is super cute!

In addition, the suicide hamster is a real case seen on Weibo, I don’t know if it is a special case 2333

One final appeal: adoption instead of purchase~~
