"Excuse me, is this Miss Lin Guilin?" There was a young-sounding female voice on the other end of the phone.

"It's me. What can I do for you?" Lin Gui was a little confused. She hadn't done anything recently.

"Oh, it's like this. I'm the head of the purchasing department at Ping City Zoo. I'd like to discuss a business deal involving snacks. I'm wondering if you're available lately. I'd like to schedule a meeting with you."

"If you're free, just come and set the time." When Lin Gui learned the identity of the person opposite him, he felt that the store had really grown bigger and stronger, and it must be connected with the Animal Bureau.

After agreeing on a time, Lin Gui hung up the phone. 009 couldn't help but pop up, "Host, this is a big deal! It must be the Chance Card that worked. That's awesome."

Lin Gui felt the same way. It felt like the gap was too big. She had been selling pet snacks steadily before, but now she felt like she had caught a ride on the trend.

"I feel like we're about to be promoted." Lin Gui came back to his senses and said happily.

"Of course, this is a big step towards our goal. In a few years, we will make sure that all the small animals in the world are well fed." 009 made a big promise, and Lin Gui also began to fantasize about t.

As for why this happened so suddenly, was it really the work of the Chance Card? According to the instructions for using the Chance Card, this was likely caused by a butterfly effect. So, what is the source of this butterfly effect?

Today is the weekend and the weather is extremely good. Shi Mingming begged his parents to take him to the zoo. His good friend went to the zoo last week and he wants to go this week too.

Shi Mingming's parents, who had originally planned to have a good rest on the weekend, refused Shi Mingming's request, saying that they had already gone there during the summer vacation and it would be meaningless to go again this time.

But Shi Mingming is a naughty kid. One of the basic characteristics of a naughty kid is that he wants to have something that others have. So he started to make trouble at home, refusing to do his homework or sleep, and he was almost on a hunger strike.

"It's your business if you don't sleep, but if you keep us awake, I'll beat you," said Mother Shi sternly.

Shi Mingming had no choice but to give in, but he would find a way for himself. The next day, which was Saturday, while his parents were not looking, he took out his little genius phone watch and called his grandparents. Humph, if you can control me, I can find a way to control you too.

The second basic element of a naughty child is having a doting parent. Obviously, Shi’s mother is not limited to grandparents.

"Grandma, I want to go to the zoo. The teacher said the zoo is the best place for children to broaden their horizons, but my parents don't want to take me." Little classmate Shi Mingming acted coquettishly with her grandparents.

"Hey, Mingming, be good. Let's go to the zoo. I'll ask your mother to take you. Have you eaten recently? Have you lost weight? Grandma misses Mingming after not seeing him for a month." The old man on the other end of the phone liked Mingming very much.

Little classmate Shi Mingming is also a person who can adapt to the situation and he can coax his grandfather into a good mood.

So, Mother Shi, who was still working overtime at the company, received a call from her own mother, "Mingming wants to go to the zoo, why don't you take him? It's not a bad place. It's a good place to broaden your horizons. If you don't take him, I will come to your place tomorrow to take him there." Mother Shi was stumped by the pile of questions, and the main idea was only one: take Mingming to the zoo quickly.

Only after Mrs. Shi agreed to her mother's request did she find peace.

When she got home that night, she started staring at her son and asked, "Did you go to grandma to complain?"

"What are you complaining about? I don't understand." Shi Mingming hugged his cat named Xiaopang and pretended to be stupid, but how could he escape the eyes of his mother and was taught a lesson.

As soon as Mr. Shi got home, he saw his son's chubby little figure running behind him, his wife chasing after him with a feather duster, and the cat Xiaopang shuttling back and forth between the two, watching the fun. The situation was not good, so he stopped his wife, comforted one of them first, and asked, "What's going on? Did he make you angry again?"

"Ask him, how dare you, that little bastard, threaten me and complain to me? Was I raised to be scared?"

After a lot of chaos, Mr. Shi finally understood what was going on and started to persuade his wife. He first said to his wife, "It's normal for a child to want to go to the zoo. Just let him go."

Mother Shi retorted: "I just went there during the summer vacation. It's only been a short time. I just can't stand seeing others showing off. You make it sound so easy. Why don't you take them?"

Seeing that this didn't work, he started to persuade Mingming, "Didn't we just go during the summer vacation? Why do you want to go again? Mom and Dad are also very tired and want to rest." Dad Shi thought that his son would understand if he tried to reason with him and appeal to his emotions. However, Mingming was a naughty child. How could he understand the pressure of his parents?

She said to Father Shi: "Mom is busy, so Dad can take me. Dad doesn't go anywhere during the holidays anyway, so you can take me, Dad will go."

Mother Shi also said: "Yes, you take him there. He lies down all day every weekend, and he can get some exercise when he goes out."

Just like that, tomorrow's activities were arranged. Mother Shi went out for shopping and massage, and Father Shi took little Mingming to the zoo. Everyone was very satisfied, except Father Shi.

What Shi Mingming cares about is whether he can go to the zoo. It doesn’t matter who takes him there. Since he can go, he starts packing his luggage. Shi’s mother taught Mingming very well in this regard, and he can pack his things by himself.

He brought his cups, hats, tissues, and cheese sticks. After packing his own schoolbag, half of it was still left. Over there, Mother Shi started urging Mingming to take a shower.

While Mingming was taking a bath, Mrs. Shi came to check Mingming's small schoolbag. Most of the things were packed, and the rest were put in his father's bag.

As soon as Mingming came out of the shower, he saw his little Fatty holding a quail leg in his mouth as he walked from the kitchen to the cat bed on the balcony and started enjoying the delicacy. This was the snack that the little Fatty had just received from Mrs. Shi today.

When Mingming saw the snacks, his head suddenly lit up. He knew what he had forgotten to bring. He hadn't brought any food for the small animals. His mother said that small animals can't eat plastic, but cats can eat the same things cats eat. He wanted to feed the big tiger and become more famous than his classmates.

Just as he was thinking this, he ran to Xiaopang and looked at him. Xiaopang was a little fat, so his mother Shi strictly controlled his snack supply for the day. He ate particularly well today. He felt that someone was staring at him. Could it be that someone was trying to steal the cat's food?

The fat boy looked at Mingming with caution while holding the half-eaten quail leg in his mouth. He wondered if Mingming was the one trying to snatch the food from the cat.

Mingming saw how much Xiaopang liked quail legs, and thought that if he gave the big tiger food tomorrow, it would definitely be welcomed. So he picked up his little stool and went to the kitchen to steal Xiaopang's snacks while his mother was taking a shower.

Mingming is a third-grade kid who is 1.28 meters tall. When he stands on a 50-centimeter chair, he can easily reach the kitchen cabinet door.

As soon as I opened it, I saw a full stock. I didn’t want the canned food, and I didn’t take any dried fish because I wasn’t sure if Tiger would like it. I just took quail legs and a strip of venison. I think he would eat this.

She took one on the left, then one on the right, and soon she had taken out all the food that Mother Shi had given to Xiaopang. When she came out with these snacks, she happened to meet the eyes of Xiaopang who had just finished eating quail legs. Xiaopang originally thought that Mingming was taking the food for him, and was quite happy. But then he saw that Mingming was not allowed to walk towards his schoolbag, and had no intention of giving it to him. She even wanted to hide his food. This was too much to bear, and he immediately became angry and let out a scream.

"Someone come here, someone stole the cat's snacks, is there anyone to do anything about it, meow?" Xiaopang was defeated.

Mingming packed his bag and immediately put it away, drawing a clear line between him and Xiaopang. Father Shi heard Xiaopang's screams and ran out to see, "What's wrong?"

Mingming hugged Xiaopang and said, "Dad, Xiaopang just finished his snacks and wants to eat more."

The third basic element of a naughty child is telling lies with open eyes. The victim this time was a kitten named Xiaopang. It kept flipping around in Mingming's arms, trying to get the schoolbag, but Mingming stopped it. Mr. Shi saw that the two children were having fun and stopped paying attention.

Xiaopang: You call this playing well, you stinky man.

Mrs. Shi came over to see what was going on as soon as she came out of the shower. Mr. Shi also explained that since Xiaopang had done a lot of strange things during his weight loss period, Mrs. Shi didn't care about it anymore. She was afraid that only when she opened the cabinet tomorrow would she find out that Xiaopang's snacks had been smuggled in.

Hey, it’s Xiaopang’s fault for having a credit score of 0.

So that night, although he was sleeping soundly and had a beautiful dream of feeding a big tiger, the fat classmate looked at him with resentment and was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.

The next morning, Mingming set off for the zoo with his little backpack stuffed full of things on his back. Since his mother was still sleeping in, she didn't notice anything strange about her son, and his half-blind father obviously didn't notice it either.

When they arrived at the zoo, Mingming felt like he was doing a big task and had no interest in visiting other parks. He kept urging his father to go to the cat area and he couldn't wait to feed the big tigers.

To do this, he carried a heavy load and moved forward without complaining of being tired.

Today's big tiger is named Tiger. It is in a bad mood today and doesn't want to go out for the exhibition, but its keeper actually locked it up in the exhibition area. Well, well, it is not going to eat today. It wants to teach the keeper a lesson. He is bold now. Yesterday, he was fed with weird-tasting meat, and today he even dared to chase it away.

So Mingming saw Tiger with a sour face at the railing, "Dad, why does Tiger look unhappy?" Mingming asked.

"Maybe he didn't eat enough." Mr. Shi answered without interest. He was not as good at educating as Mrs. Shi and could only do it perfunctorily.

He was hungry, but luckily Shi Mingming was smart enough to bring food for Tiger. He rolled his eyes and ran to a less crowded place at the back, unzipped his backpack, took out some snacks, tore open the packaging, and then sneaked back and threw them towards Tiger.

"What is it?"

"Hey, whose child is this? Don't you know that feeding is prohibited in zoos? Where are the parents?"

"Oh my, that tiger ate it! Call the keeper!"

The tourists who saw this scene began to blame and complain.

Mr. Shi was also shocked.
