Xia Zhining went down the mountain in a very lively manner, carrying two aviation boxes and a bag of "small treasury", and then took a car down the mountain.

After Xia Zhining started the car, An Xing followed the car for a long time.

An Xing was very strong, like a bull, and Gu Huaiye couldn't stop him.

I could only let go and turn around, unable to bear to watch this embarrassing scene.

11:30 am.

Xia Zhining got off the bus at the gate of Senyu Zoo.

At the ticket office, the staff member on duty was Gu Lin, an employee of the university.

After getting off the bus, Xia Zhining couldn't wait to ask him, "Gu Lin, how's the zoo's visitor flow these days?"

"Headmaster Xiao Xia, you're back!"

Gu Lin replied, "Didn't I use your account to promote it online?"

"The zoo used to only sell a few tickets a day."

"We're selling about 30 to 40 tickets a day now."

The ticket price is 50 yuan per ticket, and the daily turnover can exceed 1,000 yuan.

Xia Zhining raised her eyebrows: "That's good, at least we are moving forward!"

Gu Lin held his chin with a worried look on his face, "It's just that this income can barely cover the water and electricity bills for a day."

"There's not enough money for the animals' food and medical expenses."

"Moreover, when tourists see the animals looking listless and not fully recovered, they don't want to come back a second time."

Xia Zhining sighed softly: "There's nothing we can do about it. Treating the illness and fattening up the little animal takes time."

"It will get better later."

She patted Gu Lin's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, the 3 million donations we received are enough to keep the zoo running for a while."

Gu Lin shook his head: "That's not what I'm worried about."

He took out his phone and said angrily, "Headmaster Xiao Xia, we adults are making a lot of money and having tons of traffic!"

"Recently, many netizens have been posting online criticizing our zoo, saying it abuses animals and refuses to treat them when they are sick."

Gu Lin handed the phone to Xia Zhining: "That's fine, the main thing is these lightning rods are stepped on one by one."

"I've been praising a newly opened cute indoor zoo and trying to attract more visitors to it."

Xia Zhining took Gu Lin's phone and took a look. It was a screen full of thunder-avoidance posts on a certain book. Each note had hundreds to tens of thousands of likes.

Xia Zhining clicked on the most popular post.

【Family members avoid Leisen Island! 】

I came here to see a streamer who claims to be a seasoned animal communicator. I ended up discovering staff abusing and threatening animals. (I have pictures and the truth is clear.)

In the picture attached to this lightning protection post, in a dim corner of a cage, a parrot with disheveled feathers was forcibly held down by a staff member, its wings trembling slightly.

A slender needle tip approached its eye, emitting a cold light.

The parrot's pupils constricted and its beak opened slightly, as if it was screaming silently.

The staff member's hands were covered with bulging veins and his movements were rough.

Medicine bottles and gauze scattered in the background add to the chaos.

There are a lot of comments under the warning post, and everyone is attacking it.

[This is so mean! This anchor pocketed all the money he earned and didn't care about the animals or the staff!]

[Animals are just tools for Director Xia to make money. How cold-blooded.]

…

Xia Zhining was speechless. The photo taken by this netizen showed that the staff were treating the parrot's eye disease.

Just look at the surveillance footage and you will see that the staff were very patient in comforting the parrot before treatment. This netizen captured the most violent-looking three seconds of the injection.

Moreover, this snapshot was particularly deliberate, with a dim perspective and blurry images, making it seem like an abnormal shot.

In addition to the comments criticizing Senyu and Xia Zhining, there were also many comments praising a "light and cute indoor animal museum".

[This crappy zoo is even worse than the newly opened cute indoor animal house.]

I've been there! It's all indoors, so walking is effortless. The animals are also adorable, and the photos are especially good.

The director of the Qingmeng Indoor Zoo is beautiful and friendly. Even though she is injured and confined to a wheelchair, she still takes care of the animals herself and gives them physical examinations.

"Light and cute", "wheelchair"...

Somehow Xia Zhining suddenly thought of Xia Qingqing.
