"Principal, I've edited and released the video. Please take a look and see if it's okay?" Chen Xuan looked at Su Zhou with a mixture of gratitude and caution. The Su family's legal department was no joke; they had quickly won the case of being scammed by an acquaintance. However, because the other party had already spent a portion of the money, only tens of thousands had been recovered.
The remaining money will be repaid slowly after the other party's house is auctioned off.
However, even tens of thousands of yuan is already a good thing, and it has solved their immediate crisis. Without Su Zhou, they might not have been able to get a single penny back, and their whole family would have had to live a miserable life for a long time to come. Now, things are better. Their marriage is saved, their child's mental state is saved, and he has benefited from the misfortune and has a new beginning.
Photography was something he never wanted to give up, and after turning forty, he finally achieved his wish.
Therefore, even though Su Zhou was only a few years older than his son, he looked at her with caution.
Su Zhou was easygoing. She glanced at the video Chen Xuan had edited, noting its high level of professionalism and entertainment value. Then, as if realizing something, she turned around and asked, "Um, did you film this with your phone?"
Chen Xuan was a little embarrassed: "Well, my phone is several years old, so the camera quality is a bit poor. I edited the video on the computer. Is the camera quality not very good? Should I buy a new banana-shaped phone after I get off work?"
Su Zhou could see the caution in his voice as he spoke to her, and shook her head: "Brother Chen, you don't need to be so cautious when you talk to me. You're more than ten years older than me, so don't be reserved. We're all family now that we're working at the zoo. It's not about buying a phone, it's about the photography equipment. I forgot to provide it to you, so it's my fault. You took very good photos, without any flaws. I'll buy the equipment and bring it to you."
"Is the room crowded?" Su Zhou asked again.
There aren't many rooms left in the office building, so this is a room she temporarily converted. Because of the nature of Chen Xuan's work, which involves editing and has a large workload, he naturally needs a private room.
Chen Xuan works as a high school teacher, and the dormitory assigned by his workplace is just so-so, nothing compared to the one at the zoo. The decoration is pleasing to the eye, even more magnificent than the villas he has seen on TV, so how could he find fault with it?
"No, no, I'm staying here very well, and Aunt Sun's cooking is delicious." Chen Xuan scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
Su Zhou glanced at his polo shirt and still felt a bit of a headache. This ugly shirt really fit the stereotype of a math or physics teacher that people talked about online. The fact that the zoo's staff didn't have uniforms was indeed a problem.
As the zoo's staff gradually increased, it became impossible for her to remember everyone's name, so it became necessary to customize uniforms.
It needs to look good! It needs to look good!
She had had enough of the bulky school uniforms during her school days, and although the school itself was famous, she still felt a subtle sense of dissatisfaction. More than once, she had fantasized that if she ever had her own company, she would never design such ugly clothes.
Now that she's the zoo director, she certainly has the authority to resolve this matter.
"That's all, you can go ahead and get back to work, Brother Chen." Su Zhou waved her hand, signaling him to leave first.
A golden eagle flew over her desk, quietly keeping Su Zhou company as she worked.
Su Zhou is communicating with countless people to finalize the rent for shops and stalls. Many people have come to inquire, and these are basically people who genuinely want to set up stalls. In addition to the rent, there is also the same controlled pricing.
She absolutely does not want to see exorbitantly priced starch sausages appear in her zoo.
To prevent the commercial area from smelling too much cooking fumes, she specially purchased high-tech products to isolate the fumes, making it more environmentally friendly and reassuring.
Holding a fountain pen, she wrote down the names of people she wanted to set up shop in the zoo's commercial street on a piece of white paper:
Wang Xingmin – Clam Rice Noodles / Spicy Clams / Seafood in Sauce
Li Jianjun – Specialty Fried Skewers/Grilled Giant Squid/Grilled Gluten
Xie Ankang – Fried Rice/Fried Noodles/Fried Rice Noodles/Fried Shredded Pancakes
Song Lijuan – Pork Tenderloin Patty/Large Chicken Cutlet/Chicken Strips/French Fries
...
These are all potential tenants for the Zoo Commercial Street. They showed great sincerity after expressing their intentions and even paid a deposit on the spot. As Su Zhou wrote, she got hungry and went downstairs to the kitchen to open a box of instant noodles. There were also some fresh vegetables that Aunt Sun had just picked in the refrigerator.
Crack two eggs, fry a sausage, and your simple instant noodles are ready.
Su Zhou was sitting in a chair slurping instant noodles when a phone call came in.
"Hello?" Su Zhou answered the phone with a puzzled look on her face. She really couldn't figure out who would be calling her at this time, and the phone number was also unfamiliar. Anyone she knew would have their name saved in her contacts.
The newcomer's voice was cheerful, "Do you remember who I am?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Su Zhou slowly recalled a person in her mind. "You're a police officer? Of course I remember you. What brings you here?"
The few times I called the police, there were always reasons for it, but I never expected the other party to call me back on their own initiative, which is quite rare.
"Didn't you report a group of poachers last time? We followed the clues and found their hideout. These people are itinerant criminals, committing all sorts of evil deeds. Their hideout is a villa, and guess what? It's full of animal specimens, many of which are endangered protected animals. Hunting them illegally is absolutely prohibited in the country. These people actually kill live animals to make specimens for profit. It's absolutely inhumane and cruel." The other person's voice sounded indignant, and Su Zhou on the other end of the phone nodded in agreement. Killing is a painful thing in itself, let alone torture.
However, Su Zhou was still very curious about the other party's purpose.
"Besides a large number of animal specimens and pelts, we also found several live animals in their basement, though their condition was very poor. I noticed your zoo's animals are in pretty good condition; even the tigers at Chaoxing Zoo are reluctant to leave. I wanted to ask if your zoo would still be willing to take these animals in. The paperwork is easy to handle; don't worry about that, we'll take care of everything. We only thought of you first because Director Su is so kind-hearted." The policeman's voice was filled with amusement. This was a major achievement for them; they would definitely be praised when they got back. If it weren't for Su Zhou discovering the hunters, things certainly wouldn't have gone so smoothly. He then asked, "By the way, how is the golden eagle doing now?"
