"Welcome." Su Zhou repeated the words "Welcome" several times. She welcomed everyone who came to the zoo with open arms and feet. Of course, the first thing she wanted to teach the parrots to say was "Welcome."
What a typical sentence.
Basically, every shop on the main street and alley that has a greeter has to say this.
Suzhou-style congee is no exception to this custom.
When the shop owner bought these parrots, he confidently declared that they would definitely be able to talk, and even said that if they couldn't talk, he would go back and smash up his shop.
"Welcome." The parrot that had landed on Su Zhou's finger didn't speak, but the other parrots spoke first, their tone a bit fast, as if they had been self-trained, repeating "Welcome, welcome" several times.
Su Zhou raised her eyelids and looked over. She saw that the first parrot to speak was much smarter just by looking at its eyes. The little bird flapped its wings and repeated the welcoming words like a broken record.
She was almost in tears.
"How smart you are, little baby! How can you be so clever?" Su Zhou thought that there couldn't possibly be a bunch of stupid parrots among so many of them. It was normal for parrots to not be that smart with their small brains. But she never expected that opening the blind box would actually bring treasure.
Su Zhou concluded that the green parrot was definitely the smartest among all the parrots.
"How clever you are, little one! How can you be so smart?" The little parrot turned its head, its pale yellow beak slowly preening its feathers.
"It's a clean little bird." Su Zhou stroked the little parrot's head; it was fluffy.
Little Porridge, Little Porridge, we love you.
As she got closer, among all the parrots' voices, this one was the clearest amidst the cacophony. Su Zhou heard it clearly and was deeply moved.
Indeed, the feelings of small animals are so pure.
"Since you're so smart, how about we name you?" Su Zhou rubbed her hands together, her desire to name them bursting forth. She really wanted to name the adorable little birds, but with over five hundred birds, it would take a long time to name them one by one. So, she decided to name them by their numbers, colors, and other characteristics, just with the prefix "parrot," like Parrot 1, Parrot 278, etc., in case there were other species of birds in the zoo later, so they wouldn't get mixed up.
The smartest one is, of course!
Number 8.
To be honest, Su Zhou has a unique fondness for the number 8. For example, the number 8 sounds like "prosperity" in Chinese.
My favorite number, of course, goes to my absolute favorite little bird.
To prevent visitors from forgetting the names of certain birds, or to help them remember the appearance of specific birds, the importance of bird identification cards becomes apparent.
Suzhou University registers every stray cat and dog with an ID card. Each cat and dog will have its own ID card and will also be given a student status. The senior students or other students in the school will affectionately call them "cat junior" or "cat senior," which will bring a smile to everyone's face.
"System, is there any high-tech way to give the parrots their own unique ID cards?" Su Zhou asked the system as soon as she had this idea. But then she thought that the zoo had five veterans who had made great contributions in the beginning. It would not be the behavior of a good zoo director to show favoritism to one of them. Since this matter has been raised, naturally every animal in the zoo should have its own ID card, which should include their date of birth, name, gender, and so on.
She had only asked casually, since the system had become like customer service to her, and Su Zhou would ask it every now and then. But to her surprise, the system actually agreed, saying: "[Some hosts do have this function, but it requires a paid unlock.]"
Following the system's guidance, upon checking the store interface, I was surprised to find a building called "Animal Photography Studio." It was quite cute, resembling a watercolor-style starry whale, complete with a star-falling effect. Using holographic projection, it truly had this effect, and even when it appeared in a zoo, it was practically a one-to-one replica.
The price isn't expensive, considering it serves the animals in the zoo and is for the zoo's long-term development; you only need 50,000 gold coins to unlock this building.
Su Zhou touched her chin thoughtfully. She realized that the system was indeed very intelligent and understanding.
It will categorize the animals and staff in the zoo as its own, and will agree to any requests, whether it's for promotions, raises, or anything related to the animals.
Su Zhou once suggested that animal feed should be provided proactively by the system, rather than requiring her to spend extra money to buy it separately at the zoo.
A few small purchases might not seem like much, but buying in large quantities can be very expensive in terms of gold coins.
Her reasoning was quite reasonable: the animals are there to serve the zoo, and with the current economic situation so bad, it's not easy for zoos to make money. Therefore, it's fair for the system to cover this expense.
She had only asked casually, and even though she had used a tone of discussion, the system actually agreed.
An incredibly easy-going system.
Su Zhou chose to unlock it without hesitation. It would only take about a day to build, and she could deal with the identity card issue after it was built tomorrow.
With that in mind, Su Zhou left the bird park without thinking about teaching the parrot to talk or anything else.
Judging from the current antics of zoo visitors, it probably won't be long before someone discovers the parrots' amusing qualities.
As soon as I returned to the office, HR walked in, followed by several young people. "Director, these are the newly recruited programmers. Their education and overall skills meet your requirements perfectly."
Su Zhou nodded and let them come in first.
To be honest, the way these guys dressed and their overall demeanor really do fit the stereotypical image of a computer whiz.
The male students in the computer science department at their school generally have this kind of vibe: they wear black-rimmed glasses, don't dress up much, but they give off a sense of being unassuming and inscrutable.
Su Zhou's lips curled up slightly when she saw their resumes.
Indeed, in a place like Beijing, there aren't many schools famous for computer science; there are only a handful. Three of these guys are from the same alma mater as Su Zhou. They probably didn't participate in campus recruitment, either because they weren't satisfied with the salaries or because they were working too much overtime. Back when campus recruitment was in full swing, the school specifically added them to a graduate group, where various companies' recruitment information was posted every day.
Although Su Zhou herself doesn't have any job worries, she still occasionally clicks to take a look at the numerous messages she receives every day.
Those well-known internet companies are all notorious for their heavy overtime work. Anyone who has interned at a big company knows how intense the overtime work is. Today's young people are different from those of the past; some are extremely diligent, while others are quite temperamental.
