The conference room suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on Commander Song.

Xia Zhining blinked, her eyes full of curiosity: "More...long-term ideas?"

"Right." Commander Song smiled calmly and tapped the cockatiel's head with his finger. "I'm thinking, we can't just let these powerful officials do odd jobs, getting paid on a pay-per-use basis. We need a long-term plan."

He looked at Xia Zhining and asked in a guiding tone, "Xiao Xia, what do you think about us designing a promotion channel for them based on our system's honor system?"

Xia Zhining was completely stunned, her mouth slightly open. The first thought that popped into her head was: "Promotion? For King Cattail Flower and Boss Crow? How...how do they get promoted?"

She really couldn't imagine the scene of the aloof cat king holding a meeting or the nouveau riche crow boss giving a report.

Commander Song was amused by her reaction. "It's not that kind of promotion. Simply put, you get a reward when you start working, and when you accumulate enough work, your salary will be upgraded."

He began to outline his grand blueprint:

"For example, if someone helps solve a case, they'll be recognized as our bureau's 'Little Hero of Bravery' and receive a bonus and a certificate of honor for each case."

"If you solve three cases cumulatively, or if you're credited with leading a major case, you'll be promoted to 'official non-staff detective,' receiving a monthly expert allowance, increased food rations, and regular physical examinations."

Xia Zhining's eyes widened little by little, and she even held her breath. This was far beyond her expectations!

She couldn't help but ask, "Extraneous little detective? Then... then what happens next?" She felt her heart beating faster.

Commander Song gave her a meaningful look and dropped the real bombshell:

"If your honor points are high enough, such as solving five major cases or providing ten key clues..."

He paused, then spoke clearly, "We can consider giving them a 'special unit': animal crime-solving experts."

"Establishment?!" Xia Zhining's heart skipped a beat. "You mean... the kind of... national... establishment?!"

When this word is used to describe animals, it is really shocking!

Can small animals now have stable jobs in the government?

"That's right." Commander Song nodded affirmatively. "This is a special sequence. All of its expenses will be covered by the national special fund."

"Top-quality food rations, exclusive quarters, the best medical care, and care until the end of your life. Your name and photo will be officially recorded in the police cooperation merit file."

Xia Zhining was so shocked that she couldn't speak and could only stare blankly at Commander Song.

Commander Song hadn't finished yet. He smiled and continued, "Even if your entire zoo's 'case-solving conversion rate' reaches a certain level in the future, for example, the clue conversion rate exceeds 70%..."

He swept his gaze across the room and articulated his ultimate vision: "We can apply to establish a 'National Rare Animal Behavior Research and Assistance Base,' staffed with a dedicated, official, top-tier veterinary team, and comprehensively upgrade your hardware and software facilities."

He looked at the dazed Xia Zhining and added humorously, "We can't always let our little animal detectives rely on their own money to buy dried fish, right? We have to give them some career aspirations and security."

"Contribute to the country and the country will support you for life!"

At this moment, Xia Zhining seemed to see a golden road leading to the future spreading out under her and all her animal friends.

At this moment, Xia Zheng's ears were buzzing, and he could only see Commander Song's mouth opening and closing. Those words pierced his eardrums like poisoned needles.

"Special establishment", "national fund", "lifelong guarantee", "research base"...

Every word seemed to be slapping Xia Zheng's cheek repeatedly.

In order to find clues to the collector, he even gave away a painting worth five million!

A fishy, ​​sweet smell of rust suddenly rushed into Xia Zheng's throat.

He suddenly thought of something and managed to calm down.

Xia Zhining suppressed her excitement, squatted down, and shared the project planned by Commander Song with the animals in the simplest language.

As soon as the words fell, the crowd of animals suddenly exploded!

Boss Crow was the first to flutter over to her, his black eyes gleaming frighteningly: [Bonus! Can you give me some gold coins? I want to count them myself!]

It has already begun planning its "gold mountain". Crows love to hoard goods, and there are thousands of places to store treasure!
