Chapter 17: White Peony - Well designed, don't design it next time

Bai Shao's expression remained unchanged. She slowly turned her gaze towards the Cow Cat and said, "Describe what you've done these past few days. Remember to raise your hand and speak."

The cow cat quickly raised its front paws and meowed non-stop when Lao Zhao fell into a strange silence.

Bai Shao nodded and translated, "Yesterday, it tore apart your sofa, and this morning it chewed up your new headphones. You scolded it, angrily confiscated its stuffed animal, and made it face the wall as punishment."

Old Zhao waved his hands repeatedly: "Yes, you are right. But it's not that I don't believe you can understand animal language, I just think my nanny has no reason to drug me."

The cow cat meowed a few more times.

Bai Shao continued translating, "It also said that you like singing in the shower, but you're tone-deaf, you hate eating cilantro and carrots, and the underwear you're wearing today is..."

Old Zhao felt something was wrong, his face flushed, and he covered his daughter's mouth in time, interrupting with a wry smile: "Stop, stop, stop, I believe it, I believe it, is that not enough?"

He also thought it was too unbelievable and he shouldn't have believed it, but Bai Shao was right about all the details. Then, regarding the matter of his aunt giving him sleeping pills...

[Host, please continue translating. Is there anything that a valued member like me cannot hear?]

【Oo Zundu fake? 】

The cow cat broke free from his father's hand, pointed at the kitchen with his paw, and meowed heroically.

Bai Shao's dark pupils twitched twice as she translated, "The medicine box is in the second cabinet in the first row of the kitchen."

Old Zhao held his breath.

At the urging meow of the cow cat, Lao Zhao picked up his mobile phone and strode towards the kitchen.

At this time.

The nanny who had gone out to buy groceries came back and saw Lao Zhao walking towards the kitchen. She looked flustered and didn't even bother to change her shoes. "The kitchen is full of fumes. You're not feeling well. Tell me what you need to find."

Old Zhao ignored the nanny.

Relying on his height and weight, he walked past the nanny and saw a half-empty cabinet of sleeping pills in the cabinet.

The nanny looked at him nervously, clutched the handle of the basket, and explained, "This, this is the medicine I took myself."

Old Zhao said in a low voice: "Really?"

The nanny confidently asked, "How else could it be for you? You're not in good health to begin with, and you don't have insomnia. What would I gain by giving you sleeping pills? If it gets out, it will not only ruin my reputation, but I'll also get sued."

Old Zhao looked dejected, his voice trembling as he repeated, "Yeah, what's the point?"

He thought about it and suddenly remembered something. He once heard the nanny say that the other person's son was in the same university as him, studying the same major.

The national scholarship is allocated according to 0.2% of the students on campus, and their college only has one place.

He is also applying.

However, because he had been feeling sleepy during the day and not in a good mental state recently, he not only missed several on-campus activities, but also had no time to prepare the relevant materials needed for the application.

If he remembered correctly, the nanny's son was also applying for this national scholarship.

Old Zhao probed, "Because of the scholarship?"

The nanny's face changed.

Old Zhao's eyes were filled with bitterness and sadness. "From childhood to adulthood, you, Auntie, have taken care of my food, clothing, housing and transportation. If your son needs this scholarship more than I do, just tell me and I will definitely not compete with him."

The nanny's eyes suddenly bulged like a cannon, and she was furious. "Who needs your charity? You lucky kids are born into wealth and luxury, how could you possibly understand the hardships of us low-income people? My son is just as talented, but you always put him down!"

The live broadcast room was instantly filled with barrages.

[Would you take sleeping pills just for a 10,000 yuan scholarship?]

You can envy or even be jealous of others' excellence, but that's not a reason to take sleeping pills.

It's horrible.

The cow cat kept comforting Lao Zhao by rubbing his trouser legs until they were covered with fur.

Old Zhao didn't say anything more to the nanny. He picked up the cow cat and said coldly, "Explain to the police."

After the nanny was taken away by the police officer, Lao Zhao opened the gift column and directly gave Bai Shao more than a dozen gifts. The screen was instantly filled with fancy rewards.

There were more and more discussions in the live broadcast room, and the barrage of comments suddenly became lively like a pot of boiling water.

[As expected of the Zhao Group's crown prince, quite the hero!]

[Master, are you still in need of a lackey? I'm willing to serve you!]

See these teasing comments.

Old Zhao's complicated emotions were smoothed out, his cheeks flushed with heat, and he fled in panic: "I'm not some young master, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Thank you, host, and goodbye."

Bai Shao smiled and nodded: "Goodbye."

She picked up the teacup and took a sip, then wandered around the zoo with her cell phone.

She introduced animals along the way.

Until we passed by the bird-singing forest area.

The egret used its wings to stop Bai Shao and approached to report its work progress: "Good morning, Director. After my whole day of persuasion yesterday, the hippopotamus couple have reconciled."

Bai Shao's eyes quickly swept towards the HD area: "...Thanks for your hard work. I'll go check on them."

A sense of guilt inexplicably rose in her heart.

She always felt that the hippopotamus couple had been nagged by the egret all day because of her, so she had to go and see.

Come to the HD area.

The hippopotamus's gray-brown skin gleamed with oil in the sun. The adorable hippopotamus couple saw Bai Shao and swam nimbly from the middle of the water to the shore. They braked suddenly and their huge bodies tilted, creating a huge wave.

Bai Shao: “?”

A young man rushed over and opened the umbrella he had prepared in advance in time to block the huge waves.

【Scare me! 】

[The hippopotamus's way of welcoming people is a bit strange.]

【Thanks, Brother Umbrella. 】

The air was silent for a few seconds.

Bai Shao's temples throbbed, and her sharp gaze fell on the dark face of the young man beside her: "Did you teach me?"

Ma He puffed out his chest, his thin figure forming a sharp contrast with the hippopotamus couple. He smiled innocently and said, "Whether the director thinks it's okay or not, the visitors will definitely be frightened by the big-skinned couple just like the director, and will be deeply impressed by them."

Bai Shao tactfully expressed her suggestion: "Thanks for your hard work, the design is great. Don't design it next time."

Ma Helisuo put away his umbrella, held his head high and said, "It's not hard. Director, just rest assured and leave the HD area to me. I will continue to work hard with them!"

[Hahaha, it was the host's request, so how can it not be considered self-inflicted~]

[Host: That's very well said. Don't say it next time.]

Bai Shao glanced at the hippopotamus with a headache.

Da Pi, who was blinded by a gunshot wound in his left eye, rolled in the water with scars all over his body and mooed.

[The director mentioned that we should have a welcoming ceremony for visitors. My wife, Lao Wang, and I spent a lot of time thinking about this idea before we came up with it. Director, are you satisfied with what you've seen?]

Erpi had a broken front leg, but her outward appearance didn't affect her at all, and her heart revealed joy: "Tourists will definitely like the way I greet them!"

Ma He applauded the hippo couple and said to Bai Shao, "Headmaster, I will teach Da Pi and Er Pi well and try to make the waves and rain bigger."

Bai Shao smiled wryly: "Let the tourists go. They just want to see wild hippos. What have they done wrong? They don't need to be drenched in the bath water of these two idiots."

Ma He said excitedly: "We provide disposable raincoats to ensure that tourists will not get soaked."

Bai Shao's heart tightened.

In the end, there was no need to waste any more words.

It's all for the development of the zoo, and she can't dampen the enthusiasm of her employees.
