Chapter 90 Sister Leopard Cleans Ears
Two baby elephants, the lion Dafei, and the parrot Bubble's family all arrived at Yaohai City Zoo.
The zoo director and Gu Yiliu discussed the animal performances.
“I would like to ask you to help manage the animal performances,” the zoo director said. “What they perform is up to you.”
The zoo director believes that Gu Yiliu is the key to the animal performances; as long as she's present, the performances will definitely be more entertaining. And the animals will cooperate very well.
The zoo director wanted to maximize the zoo's profits, but didn't want to offend Gu Yiliu. Moreover, the director was afraid of overdoing it because she couldn't understand the animals.
So, upon careful consideration, it's definitely the best option for Gu Yiliu to be in charge of the animal performances.
"I will not mistreat these animals. They are the zoo's cash cow, so if some don't want to perform, I will let them be," the zoo director said.
She can coordinate with Gu Yiliu.
Gu Yiliu knew that animal performances were now permitted, and with her in charge, the animals should be happy. The director of Yaohai City Zoo was indeed different from Yan Shitong.
After a moment's thought, Gu Yiliu agreed.
"I'll go ask around and see if anyone's willing to perform."
The headmaster grinned from ear to ear, "Okay, just tell me what you need and I'll prepare it for you."
We'll only know what we need after asking the animals.
Lion Dafei: "I can jump through hoops of fire, walk on a balance beam, and vault over a horse."
Gu Yiliu said, "That's amazing!" Dafei replied calmly, "I started practicing acting when I was 2 years old, and I've been practicing for 4 years now." It was already used to it.
"How did you get to Jiangzhou Zoo?" Gu Yiliu asked it.
“I came here from a very, very far place. I was captured by poachers, sold for a lot of money, and then my owners changed several times before I finally ended up at Jiangzhou Zoo.”
Gu Yiliu understood; lions are only found abroad, so it was highly likely that they were brought in from overseas.
"Is there anything in particular you'd like to perform?"
The lion Dafei told Gu Yiliu that it wanted to take a picture with the tourists.
Gu Yiliu then asked the two baby elephants, but they also didn't want to perform.
Dandan: "Pfft pfft pfft pfft." Officer Gu, we just want to be quietly observed, we don't want to perform, it's so tiring.
"Chirp chirp chirp!" At the Jiangzhou Zoo, the zookeepers always made me say auspicious words and blessings to the visitors, but I didn't want to say them at all. Officer Gu, I don't want to perform either.
"Huff huff huff huff!" Officer Gu, I don't want to perform either, I just want to eat bananas and apples.
Gu Yiliu looked at the gibbon Mingming.
"Puff puff puff puff!" Officer Gu, we don't want to perform for tourists anymore, can you help us?
"Hoo hoo hoo!" They don't want to perform anymore!
"Chirp chirp chirp!" I wish I didn't have to perform anymore!
"Request for assistance received: Help the animals cancel their performances +12."
Dian Dian spoke up at the right moment: "+12 means there are 12 emergency calls for help, and they want your assistance."
Gu Yiliu looked at the many animals surrounding her; several animals from the entire zoo were there. She nodded in agreement.
Good reviews are hard to come by these days, so she needs to cherish them.
"Dian Dian, give me a bottle of wine."
A hint of doubt crossed her face. "You want a drink?"
Gu Yiliu shook his head, only telling her to give it to him without saying what it was for. Dian Dian gave her a bottle of Moutai.
After Gu Yiliu got the wine, he took it to Bai Weigang.
"Unsolicited kindness." Bai Wei glanced at the wine in her hand. "Such sudden politeness must mean things are going to be difficult."
"Hahahaha," Gu Yiliu chuckled dryly, "It shouldn't be too difficult."
She mentioned the cancellation of animal performances.
Bai Weigang frowned as he listened. "If this is implemented, it will probably offend a lot of people. However, there are quite a few people and animals that have been involved in accidents because of performances all over the country. It's only a matter of time before animal performances are banned nationwide."
"Director Bai, our Yaohai City Zoo can be the first to pilot this. If the pilot is successful, other places may follow suit."
"Director Bai, if it's your idea, you'll be the first to come up with it, and that would be a huge achievement."
Bai Wei opened the bottle of wine she had brought and smelled it; the aroma was rich. He glanced at her with a helpless expression, "You handle this, and I can help you with the rest."
"Alright then," Gu Yiliu sighed.
The next day, Gu Yiliu submitted the proposal to her superiors. Five days later, the Forestry and Grassland Bureau replied that the proposal was highly feasible, but they were worried that the pilot zoos might resist the policy.
There's absolutely no need to worry about resistance. The pilot zoo is Yaohai City Zoo, and Gu Yiliu has already spoken with the director, who has expressed his willingness to participate in the pilot program.
Because of animal performances, zoos maintain a large, integrated training and performance team. Canceling animal performances might actually reduce expenses.
Moreover, in the long run, this is beneficial to the zoo. Therefore, the zoo director actively expressed his willingness to cooperate.
Three days later, Yaohai City Zoo issued a notice saying that it would cancel animal performances.
Tourist tours will replace animal shows. Visitors who wish to get up close to the animals can sign up for a tour bus ride.
The idea of sightseeing was proposed by Gu Yiliu. It was all the work of previous generations. The park director thought it was feasible and adopted it.
The animals themselves are the happiest about the cancellation of animal performances.
Gu Yiliu glanced at the approval rating: 65%.
Not bad, not bad.
"Hooray! Officer Gu, I want to take a shower!"
Lion Dafei said.
"Chirp chirp chirp!" Dafei's washing up, and I want to wash up too! Our whole family wants to wash!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Officer Gu, Mingming needs to wash too!
"Puff puff puff puff!" We want some too! We want some too!
Tiger: "Roar! Roar! Roar!" Me too! Me too!
Gu Yiliu looked at DianDian, and the constant notification sounds made it grin from ear to ear.
"One, two, three, four, five... eight calls for help, top-notch, I'm going to be rich, I'm going to be rich."
Gu Yiliu looked at Dian Dian's excited expression with amusement.
"Okay! We'll wash them all!"
Gu Yiliu asked the zoo director for a water pipe, connected it to a tap, and started giving the animals a bath.
"Everyone line up, one at a time."
Lion Dafei was the first to step forward, walking in front of the group of animals. A tiger stepped past him and took the lead.
Dafei glanced at the tiger, bared his teeth, and the two were on the verge of exchanging blows. In a battle between a lion and a tiger, the lion would undoubtedly be the boss, so this tiger shouldn't even think about becoming king.
The next second, the tiger opened its mouth and roared, and four tigers immediately emerged from the herd and surrounded the lion.
Dafei: ...Bullying its kind who doesn't have one!
"Woof woof woof!"
Suddenly, a threatening bark rang out, and the herd of animals slowly dispersed, revealing the source of the bark.
Six cheetahs, their ears erect and poised to pounce, gaze at the tiger with sharp eyes that exude a regal air.
"Woof woof woof?" Jin Hu, what are you being so arrogant about?
"Woof woof woof!" the cheetah cub barked.
That's right, he was loading cargo, trying to act like a boss in front of the new friends, little did he know that the helpers Jin Hu had called were all his defeated opponents.
"..."
It turns out that tigers can't beat cheetahs. Gu Yiliu looked at the tiger named Jin Hu, then at the cheetah opposite him. Although the cheetah looked smaller than the tiger, it had great explosive power.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" You dead leopard, what are you doing here!
Jin Hu was so angry that he ran up to the cheetah. They didn't fight, but Jin Hu scratched the ground with his claws. He hated the cheetah that had ruined his plans.
"Woof woof woof woof!" Who told you to pretend? I couldn't stand it, so I spoke up. If anyone's going to wash, it's me first. It's your fault for not winning the argument with me last time!
Gu Yiliu felt ashamed; so that's what woke him up—an argument. Of course, arguing was all he could do in the zoo.
"Woof woof woof!" I'll wash first!
The cheetah leader glanced at Golden Tiger and made the decision.
Jin Hu scratched his head in exasperation, sat down on the ground in a huff, looking annoyed, but didn't dare say anything more.
Gu Yiliu heard the cheetah give a very arrogant snort.
"Woof woof woof!" Officer Gu, I'll let Dafei wash first!
Then look at Lion Dafei, "Roar! Roar! Roar!" Thanks, Leopard Brother!
"Woof woof woof woof?" What did you say?
Unexpectedly, the cheetah looked at the lion in confusion and asked it what it was saying.
Dafei had no choice but to repeat himself. But the cheetah still didn't hear him.
Gu Yiliu: "..." She understood somewhat; the cheetah might be getting old and hard of hearing.
In the end, it was the cheetah's follower who ran up to Dafei and made it repeat the same thing.
The leopard's henchman looked completely bewildered, "Woof woof woof!" The boss is female! You should call her Sister Leopard!
Dafei was stunned for a moment. It was too far away to tell clearly, so it quickly changed its words.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Thank you, Sister Leopard!
Jin Hu rolled its eyes at the friendly interaction between the lion and the leopard. Don't think it didn't know what the leopard was up to; when it came to putting on an act, no one could beat the leopard!
Gu Yiliu watched the scene with amusement, and finally washed Lion Dafei first. After washing him, Dafei asked her to help trim his messy fur.
"Sure." Even without positive reviews, Gu Yiliu was willing to help.
After Dafei finished washing, it was Cheetah's turn.
Sister Leopard was very polite. She looked into Gu Yiliu's eyes with a strange sense of pressure, and barked, "Woof woof woof!" Officer Gu, thank you for your help.
"It's no trouble at all."
Leopard Sister is like a big cat, with firm muscles all over her body and a body full of muscular physique. Gu Yiliu's hand lingered on it with some affection, this guy eats very well.
This proves that the zoo did not mistreat them.
"Woof woof woof woof!" Officer Gu, could you help me clean my ears? They're so itchy inside!
"Woof woof woof woof!" As long as you clean my ears, I'll listen to you from now on!
Leopard Sister, fearing that Gu Yiliu would not agree, continued with the next sentence as if making a vow.
Gu Yiliu smiled and said, "Of course."
"After you've finished showering, I'll dig for you one by one. Anyone who wants to dig can." This is also a way to earn positive reviews.
"Woof woof woof!" Thank you, Officer Gu!
The leopard sister licked Gu Yiliu's palm, memorizing his scent, assuming that all the leopards would obey his commands.
The animal that gets happiest when it comes to cleaning the animals' ears is Dian Dian.
After bathing the animals, I received a 9% positive review rate. 8% came from bathing them, and 1% came from grooming Dafei.
"74% positive reviews! That's fantastic! With top-tier products, you might even achieve 100% positive reviews today!"
Gu Yiliu touched Dian Dian's face, which was flushed with excitement, and said, "I'm also looking forward to it. Let's get to 100% soon."
After resting for a while, Gu Yiliu started cleaning the animals' ears again.
Leopard Sister and her followers came to clean her ears.
A group of cheetahs were very polite to her, thanking her and licking her fur.
Gu Yiliu was quite touched, but when she started cleaning Leopard Sister's ears, she realized she had been moved too soon.
These cheetahs have enormous amounts of earwax! No wonder they were so polite!
Gu Yiliu looked at the earwax that had been dug out with embarrassment; the headmaster had even found her a plate to put it in.
Why use plates? The principal pointed to the observation deck a few hundred meters away.
"Everyone's watching. You're bathing the animals and cleaning their ears. It's strangely attractive."
A whole dish of earwax! And we haven't even finished digging it out yet! No wonder Sister Leopard can't hear.
After digging for half an hour, she finally managed to finish digging out Sister Leopard. She rubbed her sore hands, realizing that this 1% positive review was hard-earned.
Leopard Sister grinned at Gu Yiliu.
"Woof woof woof woof!" Thank you, Officer Gu!
As Gu Yiliu looked at its smile, his resentment gradually dissipated. He was a little tired, but it wasn't all for nothing.
She lowered her hand, smiled, and asked Sister Leopard, "Did you hear me clearly?"
Sister Leopard nodded, "Woof woof woof!" It had been so long since she'd heard it so clearly!
Gu Yiliu smiled and beckoned the other cheetah over.
Another cheetah walked up to Gu Yiliu and obediently sat down.
...
Gu Yiliu's subsequent experience cleaning the animals' ears was not very good.
Not only is the earwax large, but it also smells terrible!
"..."
Gu Yiliu eventually put on a mask and started working, and he also brought the zoo director and some of the zookeepers to help.
The stench shouldn't be limited to just her!
