There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

Chapter 121 Thank you Dean Cui

Druid?

The two thugs exchanged a glance and looked at each other blankly.

It's hard to imagine how such fantastical terms could come out of Scarface's mouth, who is such a believer in bullets.

"Are you trying to say, 'beast tamer'?" One of the thugs hesitated for a moment, then carefully chose his words and asked cautiously.

"No, it's a Druid," Scarface said with certainty.

"A beast tamer can only communicate with animals in a simple way and train them in fixed routines, but a druid is different. Even if he doesn't show his face, he can still control those little beasts, as if there is an invisible thread connecting them."

To be precise, Scarface was absolutely right.

The only difference is that this invisible connection is a group chat.

Seeing Scarface's rambling expression, the thug exchanged a glance and pointed to his head.

Ever since Scarface's near-death experience, he's been like this, constantly muttering the word "Druid." It's only because it doesn't affect his life that he's been sent to a mental hospital long ago.

Druid? Where are there druids these days?

However, what they didn't know was that it wouldn't be long before they were kneeling on the ground, shouting "Long live the noble Druid King!"

Time flies by.

The Ark Pet Hospital's medical week event came to an end quickly.

The online public opinion continues to ferment, but Lu Fang, who is at the center of the storm, seems completely oblivious, going about his business as usual, unaffected at all.

He didn't let Xu Yi handle the public relations; he simply issued a brief statement to refute the rumors.

Zhong Yue was initially unable to stand by and watch, and wanted to have a talk with Lu Fang, but he was shut down by a single sentence.

The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are.

After that sentence, Zhong Yue was no longer in a hurry.

He would rather be the emperor than a eunuch!

The conference room at Ark Pet Hospital.

Today is a rare day off. I deliberately cleared half the afternoon without scheduling any surgeries or patients, just to review the data from the medical week.

Qin Zhuyan stood in front of the whiteboard, holding a marker and began to write and draw.

"Our patient volume last week was three times that of last month, which is an astonishing number." She circled the three times in red pen. It's understandable that we did three times the volume of a month in one week. This kind of event is basically a loss-making venture, so how could there not be traffic?

At this point, she sighed softly: "But in the medical field, we don't make any money at all. After factoring in the costs of consumables and equipment depreciation, and subtracting the salaries of you two doctors, we should be operating at a slight loss, but we can still manage."

Xu Yi added, "This is based on the fact that we had a lot of order cancellations due to online criticism. If we calculate normally, we could even achieve five times that."

"Ancestors, stop with the five-fold increase! At three times the increase, we're practically burning to death. At five times the increase, we'll just pass away on the spot!" Zhong Yue shouted from the side. It wasn't a complaint; the workload was indeed excessive.

Lu Fang stood up, showing no concern whatsoever about the losses in the healthcare sector.

"Sister Qin, have you looked at the store's total profit?"

"I haven't had time yet, but it seems like the profit won't be much." Qin Zhuyan frowned and started flipping through the account book, but after only a couple of glances, her eyes widened suddenly, her mouth formed an "O" shape, and she remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?!"

Xu Yi and Zhong Yue also noticed Qin Zhuyan's unusual behavior. Zhong Yue didn't come closer because of his status, but Xu Yi had already skipped over to her.

He only glanced at it, but his eyes widened in surprise.

"We're making a profit on paper, and we even broke even with last month's total profit in just one week!"

She stared at Lu Fang in disbelief, completely unable to understand what was going on.

"That's pretty much what I expected."

Lu Fang stretched out a big yawn, stood up from the sofa, walked to the whiteboard and looked at everyone.

"Everyone, it's true that the medical sector is losing money, I don't deny that. As a newly established pet hospital, we are actually quite poor in terms of traffic. This event is not only to lower the price, but also to attract more customers."

"The core profit point is actually here."

Lu Fang picked up a marker and wrote the four characters "Fangzhou Yanxuan" on the whiteboard.

"Our long-term customers already have a high level of trust in our Ark Pet Hospital. The medical week is an event to give back to our loyal customers, which will naturally encourage them to buy dog ​​food and treats here."

"New customers may not know us before, but after they come to our hospital for a consultation or surgery, they will naturally trust us because of our services, and they will spend the money they save at our store."

"In this way, although the healthcare sector is losing money, we can still achieve profit growth thanks to the Ark Select sector."

"The core reason for this is that I have absolute confidence in our service."

Lu Fang looked at everyone, his gaze sweeping over each one.

"Xiaoyi has a great image and temperament, and can arrange things for clients in an orderly manner. Even if there are some unexpected situations, she can handle them quickly."

"Sister Qin is very experienced in taking care of pets. She can remember how to care for each pet after surgery. Everyone who has come to our Fangzhou Pet Hospital's pet ward praises her. Sister Qin can even write a note of precautions for each sick little guy. This was even posted online by a pet owner at our hospital, which brought a lot of attention and discussion."

"As for Zhong Yue and me, needless to say, although we wouldn't dare call ourselves the top veterinarians in the country, we are absolutely proficient in basic surgeries. So far, we haven't had any customer complaints or diagnostic errors. This is the cornerstone of our Ark Pet Hospital."

"Imagine you're a pet owner, and this pet hospital offers excellent service in every aspect. Wouldn't you be tempted to buy some pet supplies and treats there? Combined with the brand recognition of Ark Select, that's how we came up with the Ark Healthcare Week event."

At this moment, Xu Yi suddenly realized: "No wonder you were so confident. You had planned this all along. I was wondering why you weren't worried at all about Cui Dinggan's matter. You're such a bad guy. Why didn't you tell us? You made us worry for nothing."

"Yeah," Zhong Yue chimed in, "Next time, could you please let us know beforehand? I haven't been sleeping well these past few days."

Unexpectedly, Lu Fang gave them a strange look: "No, Cui Ding's online smear campaign was beyond my expectations."

"But then again, we really have to thank Dean Cui."
