The forestry department has a large compound specifically for taking in animals that haven't yet been transferred to other zoos or released back into the wild. Some of the rescued cubs have difficulty developing the ability to survive in the wild.

Su Zhou had already taken some away before, but at that time, in order to make Minister Lin remove the zoo's eligibility to adopt animals, a lot of money was spent to build many brand-new venues.

Her gaze swept over the animals one by one. She was already very attractive to animals, and after she walked by, many of the rescued wild animals became noticeably more restless than usual.

Minister Lin indeed felt very close to Su Zhou, a junior, and spoke in an intimate tone: "There are still a few red foxes being raised here. I remember you have red foxes there. Take them all back with you so that your zoo can have more animals."

Su Zhou's heart stirred. Indeed, a fox park with only three foxes would be too bland.

"Where? I want to see them." Because of Xie Chi, Su Zhou not only likes foxes very much now, but is also worried that Xie Chi will frighten the little foxes. Fortunately, Xie Chi doesn't frequent the fox enclosure much now, so the little foxes are much more at ease than before.

Minister Lin took Su Zhou directly to see the red foxes. Holding a glass in his hand, he spoke in a gentle tone about the origin of these red foxes: "These were rescued in Anxi last year. The mother fox fell into a trap and died, and these little foxes are her cubs, so they were brought back directly. No one is willing to raise them yet. If you want to raise them, just take them."

These red foxes looked listless. Su Zhou approached and found that they were indeed cubs. As soon as they saw Su Zhou getting close, they started scratching at the iron cage.

There are so many wild animals rescued here that there isn't enough space for each animal.

However, the fox enclosure at the zoo is quite large, and there wouldn't be any problem even if another hundred foxes came. Su Zhou's lips curled up slightly: "Uncle Lin, can I take these red foxes home and raise them? I really want to raise these foxes."

Red Fox really liked Su Zhou just by looking at it.

Minister Lin could see it perfectly well. To put it in a more mystical way, there is a magnetic field between people and between people and animals. Some people just inexplicably don't attract small animals.

There was a recent graduate who had joined their department. He was a young man, quite handsome, with dimples on his cheeks when he smiled. He got along well with all his colleagues in the department, but the only thing he didn't like was animals.

Cats and dogs detour on the road to feed these rescued wild animals, which roar incessantly.

Therefore, some colleagues joked that he must have been a butcher in his past life, which is why he always makes these little animals afraid in this life.

That was just a joke; the young man has now transferred to another department.

But now, seeing Su Zhou, he remembered this. Some people are just naturally attractive to small animals, and there's nothing that can be done about it; it's just a matter of course.

Minister Lin smiled and said, "If you want to raise it, then take it back and raise it. How could I not trust you? Just follow the normal procedures."

Su Zhou also smiled. Her eyes were almond-shaped and round, but when they curved, they looked like a little fox. "Then I won't be polite."

The five red foxes were put directly into the trunk. Su Zhou had told people beforehand to make the environment a little more comfortable so that the animals wouldn't feel uncomfortable getting in the car. The trunk is still open for ventilation.

Su Zhou had come all this way to the forestry department, so of course she wasn't going to give up so easily; she was definitely going to try and take advantage of the situation before leaving.

"This... this musk deer is so beautiful." Her gaze lingered on the musk deer in the corner for a long time. The musk deer is now very endangered. Many people want to obtain musk, so there are gangs that specialize in hunting musk deer for musk, which has led to the musk deer becoming increasingly rare.

This musk deer was rescued.

Its eyes looked very clear and bright.

“This musk deer is male. It was very pitiful when it was rescued, covered in blood. Let it go back to the zoo with you and live a good life.” Minister Lin couldn’t help but feel sad when he mentioned this.

Su Zhou sighed.

Humans will harm or kill their own kind for profit, let alone animals.

It can be said that many of the hunting of animals are inseparable from the wealthy. Those animal skins that are completely skinned off, the ivory that is sawed off... animal specimens. Fortunately, although his family is rich, they never do these things. The children who come from the mountains are down-to-earth and every penny they earn is clean. Su Zhou just felt sad.

She chimed in, "Let this little musk deer come back to the zoo with me and live a good life."

She had previously kept sika deer, but for now, she'll have to let the musk deer share the enclosure with them while she builds a new one for them.

This time, they didn't get many new animal species, so Su Zhou stopped and decided to come back another time to get more small animals.

Although... she sincerely hoped that the forestry department would rescue fewer animals, so that these wild animals could live freely.

Su Zhou looked at Minister Lin and took a box of meat out of the trunk of the car. The meat was of very good quality and weighed about one or two hundred pounds. She could carry it down by hand.

"Uncle Lin, last time you came to the zoo, I noticed you had a particular fondness for our zoo's meat dishes. So this time I brought you some meat. Thanks to your help, things have gone so smoothly for me. It's nothing valuable, just take it home and eat it." Su Zhou handed the meat directly to Minister Lin. It wasn't anything valuable, just plain meat.

Minister Lin helped her even more; if it weren't for Minister Lin, the zoo would have achieved intermediate zoo status much earlier thanks to him.

Minister Lin touched his temple: "How could I possibly accept this?"

Su Zhou's honest and clear gaze made Minister Lin a little embarrassed. He simply said, "When the conditions of your zoo meet the requirements next time, you can come here to adopt an animal anytime. There are so many zoos in Beijing, but I still think your zoo is the most qualified."

Actually, Su Zhou is really not picky about these animals.

Animals caught in animal traps often have problems with their forelimbs, hind limbs, or broken tails. They certainly don't look as good as healthy animals. Zoos primarily cater to tourists, and charging fees is their main objective. It would be better to spend a lot of money to acquire healthy animals than to adopt these rescued animals.

A win-win situation is naturally not a bad thing.

Su Zhou thanked him directly, "Thank you, Uncle. I'll be going now..."
