A simple word of comfort doesn't really offer much emotional value, but after hearing those words from Su Zhou, Deng Ying's expression became somewhat complicated; "Actually, I'm not sad, I just feel speechless. Anyway, thank you for comforting me."
"Um... I'm in the group chat, did you always know that?"
Su Zhou nodded matter-of-factly: "I developed the entire villa area. I'm the group admin, so I can see every message you send."
"I'm sorry... I used to target you for no reason." Deng Ying took a deep breath. She had a strong sense of pride and rarely apologized. It took a lot of courage for her to sincerely apologize this time. "You are very outstanding and always manage to crush me in every way. Actually... you have never taken me seriously, have you? My behavior was no different from that of a clown."
That's not wrong.
Su Zhou didn't really care about others. Apart from the obvious malice, although Deng Ying was indeed a bit competitive, she hadn't really done anything too outrageous. Su Zhou didn't spare a glance for her. She waved her hand and said, "What's past is past. Go do your own thing. I'm leaving too."
After meeting with many bigwigs, Su Zhou gained many benefits.
If I could rent giant pandas or other stray animals in the future, I would definitely consider Wanling Zoo first.
That alone was enough to make Su Zhou happy.
Running into an old classmate was purely accidental, but Deng Ying's decision to buy a house in Fushan, and among the earliest ones at that, surprised Su Zhou. Su Zhou didn't think much of it and stepped into the zoo. Goldfish hovered in the air; there were noticeably more birds in the zoo recently.
The main reason is that the humidity, air temperature, and environment around the zoo are ideal for the growth of most animals, including birds.
Su Zhou felt this most directly; she could see birds chirping whenever she looked up.
Her good mood lasted until she returned to her office, when she suddenly heard sobbing.
Su Zhou lifted her eyelids to look over, only to see a young girl with red eyelids. Song Xinran was handing her a tissue, "Don't cry, hey, our principal is back."
"What's wrong?" Su Zhou sensed something was wrong when she saw a girl crying. She tried to find the answer from Song Xinran. "What happened?"
"Someone was secretly taking pictures under my skirt, but I didn't realize it at the time. By the time I realized it, the person was gone." The girl was pretty and thin, wearing a pure white dress. She probably had albinism, as her hair was light gold, her skin was snow-white, and even her eyebrows and eyelashes were milky white.
"You mean someone secretly filmed you, but you only realized it afterward?" Su Zhou thought that no one would do such a thing so openly in public. "Am I mistaken? Hmm... let me check."
She sat in her office chair, opened her tablet, and quickly launched the Wanling app.
After the app was updated, the art style is much more beautiful than before.
"Alright, alright, don't be sad. If something like that really happened, don't worry, our principal would definitely not allow it to happen," Song Xinran continued to comfort the girl.
Su Zhou was under immense pressure, staring at the screen. Every event has a timeline, and she frowned slightly as she looked at the timelines.
[13:12 - Three people are secretly filming tourists]
[2:20 PM - Three people are secretly filming tourists]
She happened to be in the conference room at that time and didn't notice any of these things. Su Zhou knew that internal conversations were all signal-blocked.
Such a thing really does happen.
Side Quest: Deal with the despicable paparazzi
Mission Reward: Botanical Garden Unlock Ticket x1
Things that the system itself has verified must be true. Botanical Garden... Botanical Garden. Although the zoo is also affectionately called the Botanical Garden by tourists because of its "dreamlike blooming flowers" appearance, the problem is that there really is a zoo now.
The scope of business is expanding.
If it weren't limited to Fushan, Su Zhou would feel like she was actually building her own town from scratch.
Well, whether it's a botanical garden or not doesn't really matter. The main thing is that she's a naturally kind-hearted person and really can't stand seeing this kind of scum doing bad things in society.
"Thank you for the tissues."
"How did you realize you were being photographed? Can you tell us?"
Su Zhou casually pulled up a chair, sat down in front of the girl, and handed her a cup of Pu'er tea.
The girl reminisced, "I'm very sensitive to light... I have albinism, so I'm afraid of light, whether it's the light from a camera lens or natural light. At that time, I felt like there was light shining on me, but we were at the aquarium."
The aquarium was crowded and dimly lit.
The girl came alone, specifically to take nice photos to post on her WeChat Moments.
"I'm afraid of being seen as having an excessive sense of self..."
Quite a few people must have been filmed... The system kept alerting me about being secretly filmed for a certain period of time. But no one else made a big fuss, so the perpetrator must have been very discreet.
Su Zhou put down her phone, stood up, and prepared to check the surveillance footage first.
With around 100,000 daily visitors, pinpointing the exact individuals from such a massive number is no easy feat. Fortunately, the zoo's surveillance equipment is provided by a system that can identify specific segments based on facial features.
Someone from the security department beckoned the girl over, "Sit here. I'm going to take a picture of your face now. Don't be afraid, I just want to find the clip where you are."
After the girl's appearance was recorded, segments of surveillance video were extracted one by one.
Everyone, including the albino girl, squeezed through, and figures moved about in the video. The girl was taking pictures, and the person standing next to her in a baseball cap, who had been standing upright, had their shoes slip through the girl's parted legs and between her shoes.
Then, he left as if nothing had happened.
Zooming in on the video reveals an extra part on what appears to be an ordinary shoe.
“My girlfriend gave me a pair of these shoes; they cost over three thousand yuan, which is quite expensive. They don’t have this accessory,” the security guard suddenly said.
Everyone looked closely at the screen and noticed something was wrong.
“This thing is a camera, right…” Song Xinran pointed to the strange light on the screen.
"Wearing designer clothes and shoes, all high-end, how could someone do something like this..." Song Xinran's face was grim. Now that she had a little more money, she would occasionally treat herself to things she couldn't afford before, as a reward for her hard work. So she quickly realized that the clothes the man was wearing were not cheap.
"I've heard that some thieves steal not because they're short of money, but because they enjoy the feeling... I guess they have some kind of psychological problem? Anyway, let's track them down and see."
