Episode 25 recap: Tian Lin has a strong competitor.
The grand opening ceremony on this side was very lively. Manager Liu and others were at the entrance, cutting the ribbon. The red cloth covering the sign was taken down, revealing the words "Xi Chong Animal Hospital." Tian Tian and the others were surprised to see that it was actually an animal hospital, which meant they had a competitor. Xi Chong Animal Hospital had attractive opening discounts, often offering half-price coupons. Many loyal customers of Tian Lin Animal Hospital expressed their intention to try out the new place.
Now Tian Tian's hospital is empty, and everyone is feeling frustrated. An employee informed Shen Hongyuan that they saw Shen Chen and some people from Tian Lin Animal Hospital together. Shen Chen returned home, and Shen Hongyuan was extremely frustrated. Not only did Shen Chen not go to work in Lichuan, but he also went to work at Tian Lin Animal Hospital. Shen Chen explained that he was working undercover at Tian Lin Animal Hospital. He mentioned that Shen Mi had funds and management experience, and he was deliberately sabotaging Tian Lin Animal Hospital just as it started to turn a profit.
Shen Chen assured Shen Hongyuan that he would inform him immediately if anything happened at Tian Lin Animal Hospital. Shen Hongyuan said he would temporarily trust Shen Chen. Everyone is frustrated because of the poor business, and Tian Tian and the others have offered significant discounts. Although it seems like there are a lot of customers, the discounts are so substantial that they are barely making any profit.
Shen Mi suggested that their best approach now is to adapt to the changing circumstances. Tian Tian and Gu Gu wanted to see how Xi Chong Animal Hospital was doing, so they took their dog for grooming there. When they returned, they were very dissatisfied with Tian Yu Xian's grooming techniques. Tian Tian and Gu Gu noticed that the service at Xi Chong Animal Hospital was indeed excellent and very professional. Everyone there seemed energetic, and they frequently received small gifts.
Tian Tian and Gu Gu bought clothes and asked Dr. Chen and the others to wear them. They also trained them to provide enthusiastic service. However, after a while, Dr. Chen refused to cooperate, saying that he had always worn a white coat and couldn't wear a suit like that.
Tian Tian quickly comforted them. Tian Tian and Gu Gu had been there several times, and the store clerks already knew them. They mentioned that they had many customers coming from Tian Lin Animal Hospital and often talked about Tian Tian and Gu Gu, praising their enthusiasm and knowledge about the patients' conditions.
The store clerks mentioned that they didn't really approve of all the flashy things happening now, but since they had opened a hospital, they had a responsibility towards the pets. Auntie Ge brought a dog named Da Fu and wanted to euthanize him. Tian Tian approached Auntie Ge to inquire about the situation. Auntie Ge explained that Da Fu was only six years old and didn't have any illnesses, but ever since her husband was hospitalized, Da Fu started behaving strangely, staring at her and barking incessantly.
Auntie Ge's friend suggested that the dog was possessed by a spirit, and that's why Auntie Ge wanted to euthanize him to prevent any mishaps during her husband's surgery. Auntie Ge initially went to Xi Chong Animal Hospital, but they charged too much, so she came to their hospital instead. Tian Tian knew that persuasion wouldn't work, so she pretended to euthanize Da Fu but actually kept him alive.
The store clerks at Xi Chong deliberately pretended to be concerned and told Tian Tian and Gu Gu that they were also concerned about the situation. Tian Tian then informed them that Da Fu didn't actually die. People from Xi Chong came to cause a scene, demanding that Tian Tian hand over Da Fu. Tian Tian and the others found Uncle Ge, who revealed that it was because Auntie Ge frequently forgot things that he instructed Da Fu to keep an eye on her.
Auntie Ge overheard the conversation from outside the ward. On the other side, Dr. Chen and the others arrived at Xi Chong but were prevented from euthanizing Da Fu.
