Chapter 10

The Forestry Bureau is the superior unit of the zoo. Since the director of the Forestry Bureau has spoken, Mu Ling dared not delay. She quickly packed up and set off.

Before leaving, she contacted Wei Li via walkie-talkie, but it was Xiang Bie who responded.

When he heard that she was going to the Forestry Bureau, Xiang Bie asked, "Do you know the way?"

Mu Ling said cheerfully, "I don't need to find the way. Someone will come to pick me up."

Xiang Bie thought she had called a taxi, so he hummed and reminded her, "Be careful."

Mu Ling laughed heartily: "Okay, okay, I just want to tell you guys a little bit, I'm afraid you won't see me when you come out..."

As he was speaking, the sound of a car came from outside. Mu Ling looked out and said hurriedly, "Brother Xiang, my car is here. I'll be leaving first."

As she said that, she turned off the intercom and quickly ran to the door.

Xiang Bie on the other side: "..."

Did he just hear... sirens?

-

Mu Ling was still wearing the work clothes, holding a file bag in her arms, and hurried to the zoo gate.

Two local police officers stopped the car and got out with serious expressions. Seeing the young girl running towards them, one of them asked, "Are you the person in charge of the Beek Zoo?"

Mu Ling hurriedly said, "It's me, it's me. Director Wang from the Forestry Bureau has already told me. I'm sorry to bother you two officers."

Mu Ling said this, and very consciously opened the back seat of the police car and sat directly in.

Two police officers: “…”

You are not shy.

The two officers also got in the car. On the way down the mountain, Mu Ling rummaged around in the back and pulled out two fancy envelopes, handing them forward: "Thank you for your hard work, officers."

The two officers were startled. Officer Liu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately snapped, "What are you doing? Pull it back immediately! The car cameras are recording it! Do you know how serious the crime of bribing a police officer is? One hundred interstellar coins could land you in jail for three months!"

Mu Ling was stunned and said confusedly: "But this is just a flyer for our zoo..."

Two police officers: “…”

Mu Ling opened the envelope. It wasn't actually an envelope, but a flyer folded into the shape of an envelope postcard. After unfolding the flyer, she saw the words written in huge red letters on the inside page - "Bick Zoo's Grand Opening! Give back to customers! Follow the official account of 'Bick Zoo' to receive a free travel package at a great value!"

Then the small print below introduces the process of obtaining the travel package.

Simply put, the first 100 users who follow the official "Bick Zoo" Star Network account can receive a free zoo travel package through private messages. The original price of the package is 288 yuan, and on the opening day, they can also participate in the lottery with the number on the back of the package.

This was the promotional method Mu Ling came up with when she was thinking about the opening of the business yesterday. She printed out the flyers at that time. Since she was going out today, she used the office printer to print out a stack of them urgently, intending to distribute them to everyone she met later.

Folding it into the shape of an envelope or postcard is also something I think is more innovative and better looking than ordinary flyers, so people who receive it will not easily throw it away.

The two police officers saw that it was indeed a flyer and were speechless. Officer Xiao Liu said, "You are doing business so badly that you are putting the police above you?"

Mu Ling smiled and said, "No matter what job you do, isn't work tiring? Going to the zoo on your day off allows you to breathe fresh air, exercise, and see so many cute animals. It's a three-in-one experience..."

Mu Ling did not deny that she was indeed doing business. Although the ticket was free, she only gave out one ticket to each person. Think about it, if you received a free travel package and you wanted to go, what would you do? Of course you would ask your friends and family to go together, but your friends and family don’t have free tickets, so don’t they still have to buy tickets when they come?

The two police officers finally accepted the two flyers, thinking that was the end of it. However, they didn't expect that Principal Mu would keep talking all the way.

Sometimes they were asked where they liked to travel, sometimes what they were most afraid of encountering when traveling, and sometimes what price range they could accept for souvenirs from scenic spots. It was like a questionnaire survey. The two police officers were so confused that they couldn't even tell who was the police and who was the suspect!

But Mu Ling's attitude was very good when she spoke, which made the two police officers feel embarrassed not to answer.

When they finally arrived at the Forestry Bureau, the two men stuffed Mu Ling into the hands of Director Wang of the Forestry Bureau and turned around and left.

Chief Wang also felt embarrassed. He was the one who asked the police station in the area of ​​Bick Avenue to detain Mu Ling, but half of them had already left. He found that Mu Ling seemed to have nothing to do with the animal abuse case, but he wanted to confirm with Mu Ling in person. In the end, he had to trouble two police officers to send the person directly to the Forestry Bureau.

After watching the police car leave, Director Wang turned around and looked at the young girl beside him.

He is indeed young. According to his information, he has already graduated from graduate school at the age of 20 and is a top student.

Director Wang extended his hand: "Director Mu, right?"

Mu Ling quickly returned the handshake and said with a smile, "Just call me Xiao Mu."

Director Wang withdrew his hand and walked inside: "Did you bring Qilin's information?"

Mu Ling hurriedly opened the file bag and took out a document with a flyer on top of it.

Because of the misunderstanding in the car just now, Mu Ling didn't dare to send the envelope to her leader.

Director Wang looked at the flyer and raised an eyebrow. "The opening date is September 17th. Has it been confirmed?"

Mu Ling smiled and said, "Yes, it's settled. You must come and see it when the time comes."

Director Wang didn't respond. He walked back to his office and sat down before seriously reading the Qilin's information. He frowned as he read until he saw the signature of the adopter. Director Wang looked up in shock and asked, "Is the Qilin in your park actually Colonel Val's Ripping Tiger Qilin?"

Mu Ling nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes. Qilin was a war beast before, but now it's retired. It's been in our zoo for eight months, but it's quite introverted and doesn't get along well with our keepers. As you saw in the video before, it's not in good condition and is very thin. We're working hard to nurse it back to health."

Director Wang was a little dazed. He knew very well that if the tiger was really Colonel Val's Ripping Tiger Qilin, it was completely normal for it to torture itself into a state of half-human and half-ghost in the past eight months. After all, there were many cases of retired war beasts killing themselves after retirement!

The problem of high-level war beasts having difficulty in having a good end after retirement has always been a difficult problem for the federal government. After Qilin retired last year, there was a stir on the Internet. Many netizens speculated how long Qilin could live. Some said that he might not live more than half a year, and some said that he probably would not live more than three months.

War beasts that retired due to mental damage all had one thing in common: their brain nerves were irreversibly damaged, and their cognitive thinking became disordered. Simply put, they no longer knew who they were, who their masters were, and would attack everyone indiscriminately. Their personalities would become violent, irritable, crazy, and distorted...

They will gradually fall into self-degradation and die. Even if you are reluctant to let them go and want to use various medical methods to keep them, because they don't cooperate, your forced retention will often only make things worse. There are many war beasts that go on hunger strike, hit their heads against the wall, and even commit suicide in the medical room...

But the point now is not this. The point is, is that tiger really Colonel Val's Qilin?

Director Wang was still confused as he stared at the information in his hand. He asked Mu Ling to bring the information over because he saw from the communication that the tiger had not been abused by the zoo. Although it was covered with wounds, its body movements and eyes when playing with Mu Ling could not deceive anyone. It trusted Mu Ling.

But it was useless for him to believe it alone. Since someone had complained to the Forestry Bureau, the necessary procedures had to be followed, so he asked Mu Ling to come.

After rubbing his face vigorously and confirming that the information had not been falsified and that the seal of the Capital Star Forestry Bureau was intact, Director Wang forced himself to accept the reality and said weakly:

"Well... okay, since the tigers in your zoo are retired war beasts, then the online rumors that your zoo is using retired war beasts for malicious marketing are untrue. I'll fill in the information first, and you can post a video later to explain it to netizens, especially Qilin's injury. It's common for retired war beasts to injure themselves, but netizens need to know, otherwise they'll spread the word! Look at our office; it's been busy answering complaints today!"

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling was a little dazed: "Netizens? Malicious marketing?"

Director Wang frowned. "Why, you don't know yet? It's the public report about that tiger video on your official account. Haven't you read the comments yet?"

Mu Ling quickly turned on the computer and opened the account background.

999+ private messages, 999+ comments, Mu Lingren was dumbfounded... What the hell?

Mu Ling truly had no idea her video was the cause of the incident. She posted it and went to sleep. When she woke up, she changed Qilin's medicine and fed him. Then she got a call from the Forestry Bureau. Hadn't she printed flyers and rushed over without stopping? During that time, she hadn't even considered watching the video, which was likely to go viral, or even connected the report to it!

After quickly browsing the comments and private messages, Mu Ling almost burst into tears: "What nonsense are they talking about!"

Director Wang took a sip of water from his glass and said, "Netizens' understanding is fragmentary. Since it's a misunderstanding, we should quickly resolve it."

Mu Ling said with a sad face: "I'll post another video to clarify things when I get back! These people are really going too far... Wait, I already have 489 followers?!"

"Holy crap! The views have exceeded 500,000, and I can already withdraw 688 StarCoins from my account?!"

"Ahhhh! I'm trending?! Trending 98, Piccolo Zoo!"

"Boss, can I not clarify this? I want to move up a few more ranks! I will definitely accept this overwhelming wealth!"

Director Wang: “…………”

Don't be too outrageous.
