Chapter 190 Being Reported
At that time, Lin Jing and Si Chen came over.
The waiters came to take care of the opening matters before the opening. Both Lin Jing and Si Chen had seen them.
One is Lin Ting’s brother, and the other is Lin Ting’s friend.
After Lin Ting nodded in agreement, the waiter said without hesitation, "Someone from the Forestry Bureau is here and wants to see Sister Ting by name."
Lin Ting frowned slightly.
Her brother is the director of the zoo and knows the Forestry Bureau, but she is just a small owner of a pet hospital. Not to mention any connection with the Forestry Bureau, she doesn't even know anyone in the Forestry Bureau. Why would they come to her for no reason?
You have to see what happened to know.
"I understand. You go ahead and do your work."
"Brother, I'll go downstairs to meet the people from the Forestry Bureau first. You guys sit down and have a cup of coffee first." After hearing this, Lin turned around and walked downstairs.
To open a cat cafe, you only need to obtain a business license. It doesn’t mention that the Forestry Bureau needs to intervene.
Lin Ting went downstairs with a nervous mood, and did not notice that Lin Jing and Si Chen had followed him tacitly.
The person from the Forestry Bureau was taken by the waiter to a quiet booth by the window to wait. When he saw Lin Ting coming downstairs, the waiter immediately stepped forward and led Lin Ting over.
When the Forestry Bureau staff saw Lin Ting coming, they immediately stood up and greeted him professionally. Two staff members quickly looked behind Lin Ting and asked, "Director Lin, Captain Si, why are you here too?"
Lin Jing pulled Lin Ting to his side and introduced her, "This is my sister. Today, her cat cafe opened, and we came to show our support. I don't know why people from your Forestry Bureau are here too. I didn't remember that opening a cat cafe required the benefit of people from your Forestry Bureau."
The Forestry Bureau staff immediately realized that Lin Jing had misunderstood.
One of the middle-aged men took the initiative to explain, "I'm afraid Dean Lin has misunderstood. We're not here for the cat cafe. Someone reported Miss Lin for secretly raising an owl, a national second-class protected species. We came here specifically to see what's going on."
Lin Ting originally thought that they came here because of the cat cafe issue, but unexpectedly they came here because of the owl.
She has been rescuing little owls for a long time. She didn't come before, but today she happened to attract forestry bureau staff. It seems they came for the cat cafe.
The little owl used to go in and out of her pet hospital frequently. Although the little owl left the pet hospital after its injury healed, it would come to see her every now and then. It had also been photographed by others going in and out of the night market with Ping An.
Although the little owl occasionally comes back, there is no guarantee that it will not be photographed.
Lin Ting did not deliberately refute this, "It is true that this happened, but it was not raised privately, but rescued from injury."
"It was my cat that brought the injured and dying little owl home. I'm a veterinarian and have some medical skills, so I didn't call the Forestry Bureau for help. I bandaged and treated the little owl myself. After the little owl recovered, it left. It's not at my pet hospital or cat cafe now. If you don't believe me, you can search."
"Also, this is the video I took when I rescued the little owl. I also took a lot of photos because I thought it was cute and commemorative. The police and Director Lin are aware of this matter, so they can all serve as my witnesses."
Lin Ting opened the photo album on his mobile phone and handed it to the staff of the Forestry Bureau.
One of the staff members of the Forestry Bureau took Lin Ting's phone and took a look. The wings of the little owl were indeed bandaged, and even a lot of its feathers were plucked out. The little owl was even very clumsy when flying, and several times it fell down miserably after flying twice.
Si Chen testified, "I do know about this. Ever since Miss Lin rescued the little owl, she has kept it with her. She's even brought it to our police station before, and Chief Song and other officers have seen it. If you have any questions, you can ask Chief Song for more information."
"By the way, I rescued the little owl three months ago. It was at my home at the time. You can go to my neighborhood and check the surveillance footage from three months ago. The footage also proves that the little owl was rescued by me, not kept privately."
The staff of the Forestry Bureau glanced at Lin Ting, and there was sincerity between Lin Ting's eyebrows.
No matter how capable the little girl is, she cannot convince all the police officers to help her give false testimony at the same time.
The staff returned the phone to Lin Ting and said, "There's no need to check the surveillance footage. The video and photos are there, and the police officers have testified on behalf of Ms. Lin. This is enough to prove Ms. Lin's innocence."
"I hope Ms. Lin can understand. This is just our official business. When someone reports us, we have to come and investigate before we can go back and respond to the higher-ups. Now that there are no problems, we can respond. But we still want to thank Ms. Lin for her cooperation." The staff member raised a standard smile on his face.
Lin Ting nodded and agreed, "These are all our obligations as citizens. I'm just a little curious about one thing."
“I want to know who reported me?”
The staff member looked at Si Chen and Lin Jing standing behind Lin Ting and said, "We have the right to protect the whistleblower's information, so we can't disclose it to you. However, we can remind you that the Cute Pet Hospital is gaining momentum right now, and some people are inevitably jealous of the business of the Cute Pet Hospital and cat cafe. You should also pay attention to some malicious competition."
The staff member stopped there and did not continue.
Lin Ting instantly understood what the staff meant.
There are two pet hospitals on their street. Before it became popular, Mengchong Hospital had almost no business, and most of the business was taken away by the other hospital on the street. After all, pet hospitals are not like human tertiary hospitals. There is only one pet hospital in each street or area, and they can only attract customers from this area. It seems that keeping pets is popular now, but there are limits. It is impossible for animals to get sick every day.
Ever since she became an internet celebrity, the animals that used to go to the previous pet hospital have been coming to her pet hospital for treatment. In addition to the nearby groups, there are also many parents of their furry children who come here because of her reputation. Now that she has opened this cat cafe, it is even more popular and attracts more business.
It will inevitably take away a lot of business from that pet hospital.
Previously, that company relied on discounts to compete with her for business, but now it is using such despicable means to deal with her directly.
"I understand. Thank you for your reminder. Wenwen, bring two cups of coffee to these two staff members." Lin Ting smiled and instructed the staff passing by.
"No, we can't accept gifts. If there's nothing else, we'll leave first." The staff had already checked and since there was nothing else, they naturally wouldn't stay any longer.
