Since inheriting the Wanling Zoo, Su Zhou has basically had no time to rest. In name only, she occupies this place. Even when Su Yunhai and Wang Xingyue first learned of this, they thought it would be nice to have something to do after graduation.
Making money or not doesn't matter; it would be better if there were no customers.
No one expected the zoo to become so popular.
He chats and videos less frequently on social media, and he looks more mature.
Su Zhou shook her head and put the vegetables in the colander. "Dad, it's really not that bad. I'm not as tired as you think. Anyway, I have several hundred employees now, and I don't need to do many things myself anymore. You can leave this to me. Let me give it a try."
“If you want to give it a try, that’s fine too. I’m getting old, and I’ve been thinking about whether I should teach you how to run Su’s. Now that I see you’ve managed to turn such a dilapidated zoo into what it is today, I think… running Su’s won’t be a big deal for you.” Su Yunhai naturally knew how smart his daughter was; she learned things very quickly and had a sharp mind.
The rice was steamed, using the same rice that Su Zhou had brought. Su Yunhai then cooked a few simple dishes.
He doesn't use many seasonings, but the dishes he makes are still very flavorful.
The father and daughter enjoyed their meal in the office.
The steamed rice grains were translucent and exuded a strong, fresh bamboo leaf fragrance. I wondered what variety of seeds the farm used, as they were so fragrant. Just the aroma alone was enough to conjure up images of a soft, sticky, and delicious texture.
Su Zhou eagerly took a bite of rice, the sweet and fragrant taste instantly melting in her mouth. "Delicious!"
This was the first time she had ever tasted rice with such a good texture, and her eyes widened slightly.
It's not that I haven't eaten more expensive rice before, but this kind of rice clearly surpasses all other types of rice on the market.
She needs to eat vegetables to finish her meals, but it seems like she could eat this rice porridge on its own.
Even when simply shoveling rice into your mouth, you don't forget to pick up vegetables and chew them; the food tastes delicious even with minimal cooking.
Su Yunhai also ate, saying, "The quality of these vegetables and rice is quite good."
"Not bad, right? I'm confident now." Su Zhou swallowed the food in her mouth, wiped her mouth, and looked at Su Yunhai seriously. "Dad, do you think my farm's vegetables can be positioned for high-end customers?"
Su Ji is positioned as a place where ordinary people can occasionally afford to eat out; the food is delicious. However, if they want to break into the high-end market, they need to create a separate brand. Su Yunhai has been thinking about how to do this for a long time.
Su Yunhai's brows relaxed: "Sure, why not? This quality is one in a million. I think it's fine, no big problem."
"How about we test the waters at a few stores first?" Su Zhou shared her idea. "We can start by opening some of our stores in Beijing with the dishes that have been modified with different ingredients. I won't go into the cooking methods; an experienced palate will definitely be able to taste the difference in the ingredients."
Her own tongue is very insensitive; sometimes different brands of milk tea taste almost the same to her.
Even with such a dull tongue, one can be easily captivated by the flavors of their own zoo.
Su Yunhai's brows relaxed, and his handsome, mature face showed a look of relief. "I'll do whatever you say."
Su Yunhai ate the meal clean, his appetite was great, and he finished all the dishes.
Su Zhou had just finished eating when she felt a little dizzy. Leaning back on the sun-drenched sofa, she was half-asleep when her phone rang. Startled, she sat up, propping her cheek on her hand, and asked, "Hello, is there something I can help you with?"
"There are human traffickers at our zoo, but we haven't found them yet." Tang Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Su Zhou could also hear a woman sobbing.
"There are human traffickers?" Su Zhou was completely wide awake. There had never been a case of human traffickers at the zoo before. There were actually human traffickers? She held her phone and pursed her lips: "Okay, don't panic. I'll drive back now."
Seeing Su Zhou's panicked expression, Su Yunhai asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen at the zoo?"
Su Zhou nodded, "Then Dad, I'm leaving now. There are human traffickers at the zoo, so I'm going back now."
It's unbelievable that human traffickers would appear in such a crowded place, but no matter what, it happened in my own zoo, and as the zoo director, I have to go back and check it out.
The zoo has a dense surveillance network; virtually anything that happens within the zoo's boundaries will be monitored. If no trace was found, it can only mean one thing…
The human traffickers are very likely no longer in the zoo.
Su Yunhai expressed his understanding. Although it was a rare and precious time for father and daughter to spend together, it was ultimately about something important. As a father, he understood the feeling of losing his daughter and nodded hurriedly: "Finding the child is the key thing. You should go quickly."
Su Zhou nodded and turned to leave.
Actually, there was a notification in the app, but the phone just happened to be out of battery and shut down at that time, so Su Zhou didn't see it.
Fasten her seatbelt and Su Zhou sighed. She really felt like she had Conan's constitution; no matter where she went, something would happen.
After rubbing her cheeks, Su Zhou stepped on the gas and headed back to the zoo.
When they arrived at the security office, they heard a woman crying. Other employees were comforting her: "We know you're very worried about losing your daughter. We've already sent people to look for her. The police are very efficient these days. Let's trust them, okay? Your child will definitely come back."
Su Zhou pushed open the door and saw a beautiful woman in her early thirties with red, swollen eyes from crying.
"The surveillance footage didn't track anyone down, right?" Su Zhou walked in and went straight to Tang Yu, her gaze falling on the electronic screen behind her.
"We reviewed that footage and found no trace of the other party. It's likely they're no longer in the zoo."
That's a bit tricky.
Su Zhou hates human traffickers. When she was a child, she lived with her grandparents and encountered kidnappers. The people in the village are very united. If a child in one family gets into trouble, the human traffickers have no chance of leaving the village.
The little girl was just playing in her own yard when the adults in her family went to work in the fields, and the little girl was dragged into a van by human traffickers.
An elderly man passing by at the intersection happened to see it and immediately shouted for the others. The trafficker was beaten black and blue, and almost drowned by their spittle. When the police arrived, they were quite lenient with these elderly men and women. However, they also disliked traffickers and turned a blind eye.
