Chapter 37 Negotiations Fall Apart, Plans to Rescue Sika Deer (Revised)...
"Then tell me how I should help them?" Gu Yiliu was very unhappy with the system's happiness.
She does the work, so it doesn't have to put in any effort, which makes it happy.
"Didn't you say you'd move them to a different zoo?"
"Is it that easy to change zoos?"
Dian Dian was silent for a moment, then said, "You can ask Bai Weigang for help."
Gu Yiliu remained silent. Dongshan County and Jiashui City are quite far apart. Diandian was being too presumptuous. She herself wasn't even sure if Bai Weigang's connections could extend to Jiashui City.
Gu Yiliu read everyone's requests for help. The camel said that the zookeeper had killed its baby camel and was still making it interact with tourists. The elephant said that its living space was very small, with three elephants living together. The zoo kept requiring them to pair up, and if they couldn't mate, they were forced to mate, and if they didn't cooperate, they weren't given food. The bear complained that the zoo kept making it take pictures with tourists, and there were always many children sitting on its shoulders, which it hated. It wanted to stay quietly.
Gu Yiliu decided to file a complaint with the Forestry and Grassland Bureau first. She acted immediately and went right away.
However, the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Chiayi City received her but told her to wait for news.
Gu Yiliu was not satisfied. "Brother, what's your name? You told me to wait three days. Does that mean I have to come back to you in three days to ask about the result?"
The man who was asked by Gu Yiliu was taken aback for a moment. Under Gu Yiliu's sharp gaze, he simply said, "Just go to Happy Fun Zoo in three days. You can see the results immediately after the renovation. You don't need to come to me specifically."
"My name is Gu Yiliu, as I just told you. What's your name? Would you mind telling me?" Gu Yiliu wasn't entirely satisfied, but she knew this attitude was normal. Not everyone was like Bai Weigang, so kind and even fawning over her.
Gu Yiliu admitted that she was now considering Bai Weigang's words. Because of the police intelligence system, she frequently came into contact with various animals, and having a high position would indeed make things much easier.
Gu Yiliu realized that power was wonderful.
The man felt that Gu Yiliu's name sounded familiar. He thought for a while before reluctantly revealing his own name, "My name is Cui Mingzhao."
After watching Gu Yiliu leave the Forestry and Grassland Bureau, Cui Mingzhao returned to his office and asked his colleagues, "Does the name Gu Yiliu sound familiar? I can't remember who she is right now, but I'm sure I've heard it somewhere before."
Some colleagues actually remembered him: "You don't recognize him? He's been on TV and in the newspapers. Gu Yiliu rescued two tigers because he can speak animal language."
Cui Mingzhao was taken aback. "So, she came to complain this time because the animals came to her to tattle?"
"Huh? She can speak animal language. Most of the complaints she makes are true. I'm not exaggerating, she has this ability. She's really a natural fit for the Forestry and Grassland Bureau."
Cui Mingzhao paused, sighed, and recounted Gu Yiliu's complaint.
After listening to someone say, "Then this zoo needs to be reformed, but I guess it will only pay lip service to it..."
Gu Yiliu waited patiently for three days and also received requests for help from other animals at Happy Fun Zoo.
Once these animals know of her existence, they can get their requests for help whenever they talk about her.
Three days later, Gu Yiliu visited Happy Fun Zoo once again.
She went to find the big white tiger, who told her that its food had improved these past few days, and it no longer fed spoiled meat. Its cubs were also eating more meat, so they wouldn't go hungry all the time.
Gu Yiliu then went to find the parrot Maomao. Its aviary had more than doubled in size, and it could fly around inside without any problem.
She also went to see the camels, but there was no interaction; they were just quietly grazing. The elephants had also been separated into different cages. Gu Yiliu went over and asked about the situation. There had been no problems for the past three days, but she didn't know about the future.
There are no more photo opportunities in the black bear area.
The situation has indeed improved, but it's unclear how long the current state can be maintained.
Just as Gu Yiliu was about to leave the zoo, she encountered someone—or rather, the person stopped her—who said he was the director of Happy Fun Zoo.
"I am Yang Fuhai, the director of Happy Fun Zoo. Comrade Gu, I've heard of you. I heard you can speak animal language. Shall we have a chat?"
Gu Yiliu paused and looked at the other person, who was a man in his thirties, somewhat short and stout, with a very slick smile. Gu Yiliu didn't particularly like his smile.
However, she wanted to know what he had to say to her.
Gu Yiliu was invited into the principal's office.
"Comrade Gu, I'm very curious, do animals have language like us?"
To be honest, Gu Yiliu didn't understand either, but that didn't stop her from saying that she understood Yang Fuhai's thoughts. "Their language is different from humans'. They speak by pronunciation and smell. You can't learn it if you want to. I only understood it after I had more contact with them."
Yang Fuhai smiled, put aside his thoughts, and told Gu Yiliu his purpose.
"We're going to open a zoo together. I wonder if Comrade Gu would be interested?"
His small eyes gleamed as he looked at Gu Yiliu. "Comrade Gu, do you know how much my zoo earns in a day?"
Gu Yiliu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the somewhat ferocious look on his face. Opening a zoo was probably not as simple as just opening a zoo.
She shook her head without making a sound.
“If there are many people, it’s 600 yuan a day; if there are few people, it’s still more than 300 yuan a day,” Yang Fuhai said with a spirited expression, but his round, chubby face and his smug and arrogant look made people very uncomfortable. “There are two zoos in Jiashui City. One is under the Forestry and Grassland Bureau, and the other is privately run by me. In the past year, most of the wild animals rescued by the city’s rescue station have been transferred to my zoo, so the number of visitors to my zoo will only increase.”
"I plan to open another branch, Comrade Gu. We can split the profits 30/70."
Gu Yiliu: "I get three, you get seven?"
“Yes,” Yang Fuhai nodded with a smile, “You just need to use your animal language to help me win over the animals, and you can lend a hand when I need you. I’ll take care of the rest of the management. So I’ll take 20% more.”
How many animals are currently in Happy Fun Zoo?
Yang Fuhai thought she was interested. The thought of being able to have any animal he wanted made him tremble with excitement, and he felt like he had struck it rich.
So he answered Gu Yiliu more seriously, "31 species, most of which are very common animals. Actually, I also want to introduce some foreign animals. If you can help, it will definitely be possible."
Gu Yiliu pondered, pretending to think, "Is it certain that your branch garden can open? It's not that easy, is it?" She wanted to find out about his background.
Yang Fuhai assured him, "It can be opened. I can open it anytime I want. It's just a matter of saying the word."
Gu Yiliu showed a puzzled expression at the right moment, but after meeting Yang Fuhai's gaze, he suddenly realized what was going on.
"Comrade Gu, don't worry. My brother-in-law has some connections and can talk to people, so opening a branch kindergarten will be very easy. All he has to do is say a few words."
Gu Yiliu understood; it was a case of someone borrowing power from another. Since that was the case, things became easier. All that was needed was to find out who was backing them up.
"My only complaint about your zoo is that you mistreat the animals, feed them too little, and put them in cramped conditions." Gu Yiliu didn't immediately reject him; the conversation had ended there. She stood up and said, "I'll think about it for a few days. I have something to do, so I have to go now."
Yang Fuhai stopped trying to stop him and followed Gu Yiliu out.
Halfway there, Yang Fuhai was hurriedly stopped.
A woman ran over, shouting, "Director, Director, that deer is dying! You have to go and see it!"
Gu Yiliu looked at Yang Fuhai.
Yang Fuhai didn't notice her gaze. His face was somewhat anxious. He hurriedly went to meet the woman and told her to go back quickly. "If it's not dead yet, save it. If you're sure it can't be saved, while it's still breathing, quickly collect its antlers and deer blood... In short, don't waste them. If you waste them, you'll be in big trouble!"
The woman was pushed and almost twisted her ankle. She explained, "Then you should ask someone for help. I can't manage all this by myself!"
Gu Yiliu narrowed her eyes dangerously upon hearing their conversation. She now understood why Yang Fuhai wanted to open a branch campus.
And why wouldn't they let the animals eat their fill? They want to starve these animals to death so they can profit from them later.
The entrance fee to the zoo is just a small amount of money, but the real money is made after the animals die. They sell the value of the animals, like tigers and deer, which are actually valuable from head to toe.
Gu Yiliu called out, "Boss Yang..."
Yang Fuhai came to his senses; he still had a guest, but he was reluctant to leave.
"Comrade Gu, look at me..."
Gu Yiliu interrupted him, "I'll go with you to take a look."
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Fuhai nodded in agreement.
The two men and the woman soon arrived at the deer park.
Gu Yiliu saw two sika deer, one standing and the other lying on the ground, their bellies not moving much.
The standing deer saw the two people and a look of panic flashed in its eyes. But it remained standing and did not leave. Instead, it repeatedly said, "Please, save it."
Yang Fuhai ran incredibly fast, darting to the sika deer and practically shouting, "Quickly, get the knife and the bowl!"
"Mr. Yang, wait a minute, I don't think your sika deer is dead."
Gu Yiliu approached and glanced at the other sika deer.
“Yes, it won’t die, it just choked.” The standing sika deer also glanced at Gu Yiliu; it could sense that Gu Yiliu was helping them.
“Its belly isn’t moving at all, it’s beyond saving,” Yang Fuhai said, pressing the deer’s belly as he spoke. Just then, the woman from before brought over a knife and a bowl. Yang Fuhai took them and prepared to cut open the deer to extract its blood.
Gu Yiliu only saw the sika deer kick its legs slightly under his pressure, and then remain still. She looked into the sika deer's eyes, which were filled with tears, and for a moment her heart ached.
She squatted down as well. "It choked," said the standing deer.
Gu Yiliu pushed Yang Fuhai aside before he could draw his knife. Caught off guard, Yang Fuhai was knocked to the ground, the knife fell from his hand, and the bowl shattered.
Yang Fuhai roared in anger, "You..."
Gu Yiliu ignored him and asked Dian Dian for guidance on how to give the sika deer first aid.
Gu Yiliu patted the sika deer's shoulder blade, and the lying sika deer coughed.
“Continue!” Dot said.
Gu Yiliu continued to pat the deer. After patting it two or three times, the deer coughed violently, and slowly the foreign object in its mouth was coughed out.
It was some corn stalks. After coughing it up, the sika deer seemed to come back to life. It slowly stood up and rubbed its face against Gu Yiliu's hand.
Gu Yiliu looked at Yang Fuhai with disapproval, "Director Yang, how could you feed them these..."
"Because it's cheap! What's wrong with feeding it occasionally? It can eat, so you can feed it!" Yang Fuhai was very unhappy. "Why did you save it? It was already about to die!" His deer blood was gone!
Gu Yiliu's expression also turned cold. "Director, if that's the case, then I'll have to seriously consider the cooperation!"
"Whatever, I don't necessarily have to cooperate with you!" Plenty of people want to cooperate with Yang Fuhai, and he doesn't really care about cooperating with Gu Yiliu. Whether she's there or not, it won't affect his zoo. He's already doing charity by raising these animals, feeding them, and providing them with shelter. Now that he wants to collect interest, what's wrong with that?!
“Okay!” Gu Yiliu glanced around.
She came up with a solution.
Yang Fuhai began to shoo people away. Once she was certain the sika deer were no longer in danger, Gu Yiliu also planned to leave. However, she walked very slowly, negotiating with the animals as she went. She would help them escape tomorrow, but they had to obey her.
Only in this way can she attract attention. The reason she waited until tomorrow was because she needed to discuss this with Peng Jie. She couldn't let these animals get hurt.

Author's Note: If a deer is choking, you can try the Heimlich maneuver. You can also use the back-patting method; actually, the methods are quite similar to those used by humans [laughing emoji].
