Chapter 91 Wild Giant Panda Seeks Help with Wedding Arrangements
“First-rate! I never thought I’d be sitting here cleaning their ears,” the zoo director said with a smile. Previously, he had only approached these animals with the help of keepers, and only to take pictures or stroke their fur.
Now she can even clean their ears.
“Actually, they are very docile,” Gu Yiliu said. “Just like people, they have emotions, right?”
Gu Yiliu asked his subordinate Jin Hu, "This big cat likes to call itself 'boss,' but because of its stubborn temperament, it often doesn't get along with the other animals, so few animals give it any respect. Even when it comes to cleaning its ears, it refuses help from the zookeeper and other zookeepers, always waiting by her side."
Jin Hu raised his eyes, nodded awkwardly with his big head, and glanced shyly at Gu Yiliu.
It really likes Gu Yiliu. Not only does he wash its fur until it's clean and smooth, but he also cleans its ears. It closes its eyes, rests its big head on Gu Yiliu's lap, and enjoys being petted. After a while, it makes a "purring" sound of enjoyment.
After Gu Yiliu finished cleaning Jin Hu's ears, he found that it had fallen asleep, lying on its back with its furry belly exposed.
Gu Yiliu put its big head down and let the other tiger come over.
"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!" Officer Gu, my name is Mai Huang. I don't want to clean my ears. Could you take a look at my teeth? Every time they hurt, I get so frustrated!
Gu Yiliu looked at the tiger with its mouth wide open, and she immediately noticed its rotten teeth.
Even the molars were blackened; they were decayed by worms.
Gu Yiliu hummed in agreement. "Your teeth are decayed. After I clean your ears, I'll call the dentist for you."
Mai Huang's eyes were filled with gratitude as he nuzzled Gu Yiliu's arm with his big head. "Thank you, Officer Gu."
Officer Gu is so kind! It clearly said it didn't need her ears cleaned, just that she needed to check its teeth. But she cleaned its ears and checked its teeth both!
The more Maihuang thought about it, the better Gu Yiliu seemed. After enjoying picking its earwax, it walked to the side, bit its own offspring, and placed it at Gu Yiliu's feet.
"You don't need to clean the ears of such a small tiger cub. You can ask the zookeeper to do it when it gets a little bigger," Gu Yiliu said, assuming that Mai Huang wanted her to clean the cub's ears.
Mai Huang shook his head, "Roar roar roar roar!" No, Officer Gu, it's my child, and I want to give it to you.
Gu Yiliu opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, looking at the tiger cub sleeping soundly at his feet. Its fur was still wet, and its little body under the fur was chubby and looked very solid.
"This..." Gu Yiliu smiled; she was quite tempted, but...
She looked at the head of the kindergarten, who hadn't noticed Mai Huang's actions yet. She quietly refused Mai Huang, "This is the head of the kindergarten's precious child. I can't take it away. You should take it back quickly."
Mai Huang turned to look at the headmaster, "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" I can reproduce!
"Uh," Gu Yiliu was speechless, and even more tempted.
"Hooray! Officer Gu, I really want to give this to you!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" It's true, I'm still young, I can still have more children!
"Hooray! The principal will agree!"
Mai Huang looked at the headmaster again, because the headmaster had noticed them this time because of Mai Huang's repeated shouts.
The headmaster walked over and asked, "Yiliu, what's wrong with Maihuang?"
Before Gu Yiliu could speak, Mai Huang lowered his head and put the tiger cub back in his mouth, then kept bringing the tiger cub to Gu Yiliu's side.
Gu Yiliu opened her arms and then clenched them. The furry touch made her want to hold it in her hands, but she resisted. She chuckled at the zoo director and said, "It wants to give me its tiger cubs."
Upon hearing her words, Mai Huang nodded humanely and then looked at the headmaster.
The latter laughed along, "So that's how it is, Mai Huang, private individuals aren't allowed to keep tigers anymore."
The tiger's eyes immediately fell in disappointment, and then the zoo director said, "However, you can give your tiger cub to Yili if you want. You can register the tiger cub under Yili's name, which is equivalent to Yili adopting it, but the tiger cub will still be raised in our zoo. What do you think?"
Maihuang understood the words "adopt" and "keep in the zoo." It looked at Gu Yiliu, waiting to see her decision.
It could sense that Officer Gu liked the tiger cubs, so it worried that this might make Gu Yiliu dislike them.
It wasn't delivered to her, just adopted; I wonder if it will become a burden for Officer Gu. Just like how it likes to eat meat, it definitely hopes to actually eat it, not just smell it, as that would make it very agitated.
"Roar roar roar roar." Officer Gu, would you like to adopt a tiger cub? If not, that's fine. I'll secretly have one for you sometime in the future.
Gu Yiliu found Mai Huang's words somewhat amusing, but she agreed, "I can adopt her."
Considering that Mai Huang contributed 1% positive reviews to her rating.
"Thank you for your understanding, Yiliu." The zoo director sincerely expressed his gratitude. "We will listen carefully to any suggestions or proposals you may have in the future. Only when the animals are doing well can our zoo thrive."
Actually, the zoo director had considered various factors when proposing the adoption suggestion. Gu Yiliu was a star at the zoo, and befriending her would be beneficial. Furthermore, the idea of adopting an animal would link the zoo with Gu Yiliu, meaning that if any problems arose with the animals in the future, they could seek Gu Yiliu's help.
The zoo director believes that in the future, the animal ecology and other aspects of her zoo will definitely be better than those of other zoos. This will also attract more visitors, as they will have access to top-notch facilities.
Dian Dian: "First-class. The director has a good heart. As long as she treats the animals well, you won't lose out by adopting them."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yiliu glanced at the headmaster and said to Dian Dian, "Alright, we're not worried about having too much debt anyway."
“This is not a debt!” Dian Dian corrected.
"What is that? Is it useful for gaining positive reviews?"
"Of course it's useful. People will come to you when they need something, and you'll earn positive reviews."
"Alright then." Gu Yiliu actually wanted to say, "By the time you complete your final upgrade and return to the apocalypse, what's the point of having a good rating?"
“It’s useful,” Dot whispered. “Even after I’m gone, the positive reviews you earn will still be useful, as long as you don’t completely leave me. I can still use them.”
Gu Yiliu suddenly realized, "So that's what you were thinking! How cunning!" Who wants to work for them for the rest of their life!
After hearing her heartfelt words, Dian Dian became somewhat withdrawn.
It went to hide and digest.
Gu Yiliu ignored it. He continued cleaning the animals' ears and occasionally helping them with other needs.
Earning positive reviews is easy and enjoyable.
By the time I finished, it was already 6 p.m., and the zoo was closed.
A review of the positive feedback showed an increase of 8%, bringing the total positive feedback rate to 82%.
Gu Yiliu was somewhat exasperated, "Why is it so hard to earn good reviews these days!"
She's been trying to get DianDian to complete the final upgrade as soon as possible, but now earning positive reviews is as slow as squeezing toothpaste.
Dian Dian came out to comfort her, even though it also felt it was slow and difficult, but the closer it got to the end, the less it could rush things.
"That's pretty fast. You only need 18% positive reviews to complete the task. You've already done a great job. Don't rush, take your time. I can wait."
Gu Yiliu glanced at it, "I can't wait any longer, I want to see what you'll look like after you upgrade." She wanted to get rid of it quickly, and also...
Each person and their system stared at each other, each lost in their own thoughts.
"Can't wait for what?"
Gu Yiliu turned his head and saw Han Yi. "Why are you here?"
Han Yi explained, "I didn't see you at home, but I heard the neighbors talking about how someone was bathing the animals at the zoo today, and the scene was quite spectacular. I guessed it was you, so I came here."
"Are you off work yet? Have you gone home?"
Gu Yiliu hummed in agreement and left the zoo with him.
What do you want from me?
Han Yi smiled helplessly at her expression that said, "You must have something to say to me."
"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? We're getting married soon." In the end, Han Yi felt he should make an exception.
"It's good that you came; I haven't seen you in quite a while," Gu Yiliu said. They lived in the same city, but rarely saw each other.
She often appears and disappears in a flash. A while ago, she went to the Jiangzhou Zoo, which made the front page of the newspaper. He knew about it but didn't ask any questions.
"Do you miss me?"
"Yes, I do."
Gu Yiliu said casually, and then took his hand.
Han Yi was used to her reactions, which were calm but direct, rational yet warm: "Going to choose a wedding venue tomorrow? Are you free?" There were still more than three months left until their wedding.
He opened her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.
"Um."
The next day, Gu Yiliu and Han Yi went to see the wedding venue.
Han Yi initially selected three suitable locations for the wedding.
One was the Peace Hotel, where Gu Yiliu had stayed once, and she still remembered the receptionist. The receptionist was taken aback when she saw her, but when she saw her and Han Yi's hands clasped tightly, she smiled and silently opened her mouth towards her.
Gu Yiliu could tell from her lip movements that she was saying congratulations.
She smiled. She didn't really like the hotel's banquet hall; it was too enclosed.
Then we moved on to the next place.
A lawn wedding. But it was a bit far from the city center. She still didn't like it. So they went to another place.
Han Yi: "Next one, you shouldn't dislike him, but I don't know if you'll like him."
Gu Yiliu raised an eyebrow at Han Yi's way of giving him a heads-up, and asked him to explain.
"What do you think of the zoo?"
“I was originally thinking of having the wedding by the sea, where there are whales. I thought it would be spectacular if they came to congratulate you on your wedding day, but there’s no sea here. I think you’re also close to animals, so I think you would like to have the wedding at the zoo.”
Gu Yiliu was somewhat surprised. She had never thought of holding a wedding at the zoo, but she knew that all the animals, big and small, would give her face, so it would be a great success.
With this in mind, Gu Yiliu no longer objected to holding the wedding at the zoo, and even felt a bit more excited.
"Then let's hold it at the zoo. The rest is up to you. I'm very curious to see what the scene will be like."
Gu Yiliu entrusted Han Yi with the entire responsibility of setting up the wedding venue.
Han Yi squeezed her hand. "Don't worry, I'll make you satisfied."
Not only was she looking forward to it, but he was too. He was determined to make the wedding a success.
There's a lot that can be done in three and a half months.
Gu Yiliu assumed the wedding venue would be at Yaohai City Zoo, but after finalizing the venue, she went to Yaohai City Zoo twice to specifically ask the zoo director, who said he hadn't received any information.
“First-rate! You want to hold your wedding at the zoo? Sure, the animals and I would love for you to do it.”
Gu Yiliu: "It is indeed going to be held at the zoo. My fiancé is in charge of decorating the wedding venue, but I don't know why he hasn't started yet."
The headmaster smiled and said, "You're welcome to come anytime."
But when Gu Yiliu went back and asked Han Yi, he learned that Han Yi planned to hold the event at another zoo.
"A wildlife sanctuary? Where is it?"
"Right next to the zoo, the fenced-off area is the newly opened wildlife sanctuary. It's much more spacious than Yaohai City Zoo, and many of the animals have been rescued from all over the country."
"You know the head of the kindergarten too."
"who?"
"Min Songyue".
Gu Yiliu was genuinely surprised. "He resigned from the outpost?" She hadn't heard from Min Songyue since she left the outpost.
Han Yi nodded. "He said he resigned last year. During the Spring Festival, while patrolling the mountains, he stopped villagers from cutting down precious tree species and got into an argument with them. He almost had his leg amputated by those villagers with a chainsaw, so his family made him resign."
The next day, Gu Yiliu went to the wildlife sanctuary next to Yaohai City Zoo, where he met Min Songyue.
Upon seeing her, the latter sighed, "First-rate. I think I'd be more comfortable working with you."
Gu Yiliu raised an eyebrow. "Why do you say that?"
Min Songyue recounted the ins and outs of his resignation and layoff in great detail.
Similar to pouring out his grievances, he said, "It's been like this for so long. The animals in the mountains have been very kind to me and Uncle Ma, and even to the villagers down the mountain. Some people take advantage of the animals' friendliness, taking them home to raise and then secretly selling them. Uncle Ma and I intercepted many of them and drove them back into the deep mountains. This touched the interests of these villagers, and then they united to resist us."
"They're just going against us by cutting down precious tree species. The trees belong to the Shifeng Forest Farm, and they have to respect the Shifeng Forest Farm's authority if they want to cut them down. They just want us to stop them so they can drive us away."
“Their methods were barbaric enough that I didn’t want to stay there any longer, so I left.”
Gu Yiliu frowned. "So, only Uncle Ma is left at the outpost?"
"Uncle Ma has also been promoted and left Hongbuya Outpost for Dongshan County. He's practically a local, so the villagers don't dare to do anything to him."
"DianDian, why didn't those animals ask me for help?" Gu Yiliu asked DianDian in his mind.
Dian Dian: "Ma Quan and Min Songyue's timely rescue made the people of Dongshan County more respectful of animals because of your rescue of the tiger, so their protection of them is quite effective. After being hunted once or twice, those animals became more vigilant, and those people basically failed."
Dian Dian is quite satisfied with this. While it needs the animals' approval ratings, it also hopes that their need for their help is based on the premise of their independent survival.
"How many animals are there in the park right now?" Gu Yiliu asked Min Songyue.
"25 species, more than 80 animals, that's quite a lot, and many of them recognize you."
Gu Yiliu looked up at him with a puzzled expression, "Because they all reacted quite strongly when I mentioned your name."
Gu Yiliu smiled and said, "Then I hope they can attend my wedding too."
“Definitely, I’ll tell them in a bit,” Min Songyue said.
Not long after, Gu Yiliu received a message from Cobra, which he hadn't heard from in a long time.
Gu Yiliu hadn't expected it to be here.
The cobra, its eyes brimming with tears, thumped against the glass wall that confined it, hissing and hissing. "Officer Gu, I've finally seen you! I've missed you so much!"
"Don't cry, what's wronged you?" This was the first time Gu Yiliu had ever seen a snake shed tears.
"Hiss hiss hiss!" Many of my snakes and their offspring have disappeared! I don't know if they were caught or ran off somewhere else!
"It's alright, your children and grandchildren will have their own lives to live. Just take care of yourself."
The cobra paused, unsure whether to feel happy or sad at this consolation.
"Hiss hiss!" Okay, first of all, congratulations Officer Gu on your marriage!
Gu Yiliu smiled and nodded, "Thank you!"
"Hiss hiss hiss?" Can I go to your wedding then?
Gu Yiliu's smile froze for a moment, then he shook his head. "No, everyone's afraid of you."
The cobra lay listlessly on the sand, feeling utterly unhappy after hearing the rejection.
"Hiss hiss hiss!" Okay, I'll watch you through the glass! They shouldn't be scared now!
Gu Yiliu nodded.
Gu Yiliu also met Hu Da's cubs.
"What are you doing here?"
The tiger cub had grown into a tall and mighty creature. It had been lying lazily in its cage, but when it saw Gu Yiliu, it excitedly jumped up and squeezed its big face against the cage posts, taking up four posts in total.
"This is really fat!" Gu Yiliu looked at its big, fat face.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" Officer Gu, it's great to see you again! I'm the eldest of the four tiger cubs! Do you remember me?
Gu Yiliu nodded. She remembered that Hu Da and Hu Piaoliang had four tiger cubs.
Tiger Brother was overjoyed, "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" It was the headmaster who asked my parents to bring me here!
How are your parents?
The tiger cubs nodded, "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" They're doing great. They eat and sleep all day long, and they're still worried about my younger siblings' marriages! Because the zookeeper keeps nagging that there aren't enough tigers in the zoo!
Gu Yiliu found its human-like words amusing. Spending a lot of time with people makes you speak like one.
...
Before the wedding, Gu Yiliu also went to Ganlan City.
She received a request for help from a wild giant panda.
The giant panda was drowning. When she arrived, the panda was already struggling exhaustedly in the water and was about to sink.
"Woof woof woof woof!" Officer Gu, help! Help!
Gu Yiliu waded through the water and rescued the giant panda. It was a river that stretched between two mountains, and the water was only waist-deep, but it was very deep for the giant panda.
When they rescued the giant panda, they found it was covered in injuries and extremely emaciated.
"Woof woof woof woof!" Officer Gu, I'm so hungry! Can I have something to eat?
