Chapter 19 Mountain and Sea Zoo (4)
The two talked, locked their car, and walked towards the office building.
The automatic doors of the office building opened, and Minister Xu Wen of the Ministry of Commerce was already waiting in the lobby. As soon as he saw the two figures, he immediately went up to them and said warmly, "Thank you for coming all this way, Professor Lu. Was your journey smooth?"
Lu Lu smiled and said, "Everything went smoothly. Where's President Zhang?"
Xu Wen turned to the side and gestured for someone to lead the way: "President Zhang is waiting for you upstairs, please follow me."
The three of them had just turned around and were about to walk towards the elevator.
The assistant suddenly caught a glimpse of something hurtling towards him like lightning, moving with incredible speed. The next second, he felt a weight on his right shoulder, a soft touch of feathers and the slight barbs of claws.
The assistant froze in fright. Before he could even see what it was, he screamed, "What is that?!" His voice echoed in the empty hall.
Lu Lu and Xu Wen were stunned. They quickly stopped and saw that a colorful bird had landed on their assistant's shoulder.
No one recognized the species of the bird, but the three of them were so amazed by its beauty that they were speechless.
The down on its head is a pale peacock blue, which reflects iridescent light when sunlight shines on it, like a layer of tiny stars. The feathers on its back are a gradient of emerald green, spreading from the back of its neck to the base of its tail, with silver lines along the edges of each feather, as if countless points of light are dancing on them.
Seeing that it was such a beautiful little creature, the assistant breathed a sigh of relief and softened her voice: "What kind of bird is this? Its feathers are so beautiful!"
It's so beautiful, so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it. The assistant's heart itched, and his fingers subconsciously rose up, wanting to touch the soft-looking back feathers.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly docile bird suddenly tensed up, turned its head sharply, a hint of disdain flashed in its eyes, and instantly revealed its sharp claws!
Even if the noble peacock were to transform into a tiny form, it would be beyond the reach of a mortal like you!
The assistant's hand froze in mid-air, and she immediately withdrew it awkwardly, forcing a smile, "Okay, okay, I won't touch you, don't be angry." She could feel the bird's claws tightening slightly, making her shoulder a little itchy, but she dared not move again.
Xu Wen was also bewildered: "I don't know. In the past week, a lot of small animals have suddenly come to the company."
A few days ago, there was also a little hedgehog with a big apple stuck on its back, wandering around the tech department. It looked really funny.
Fortunately, none of them were aggressive, so we just let them be.
Lu Lu guessed, "It must be because your company's landscaping is so good that it has attracted all the small animals from the mountain."
Xu Wen: "Maybe so. We recently transplanted a new bamboo grove, which might actually attract small animals."
As they spoke, the group walked to the elevator entrance.
The assistant waved at the bird in the air: "Hey, we're going upstairs. You should go down now."
As a result, the birds ignored him completely.
The assistant didn't dare to actually do anything, so he could only shake his shoulders, trying to shake the bird off, while trying to reason with it, saying, "Elevators are dangerous enclosed spaces, you should get off quickly and fly off to play somewhere else."
The bird remained unmoved, even turning its head away disdainfully.
The three people: "......"
Just then, a person walked out of the stairwell next to the elevator. The person was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, and the knees of his jeans were frayed. He was carrying two young huskies in his hands, one in each hand, and he was impatiently muttering, "Are you two sick? What are you doing getting involved? Now you've been scolded, haven't you? You deserve it."
He was Langri, the eldest of the three wolf brothers.
The two puppies in his hands were kicking their paws in the air and making soft "woof woof" sounds.
The three of them had previously made cameo appearances in Brother Ye's TV series, so Lu Lu naturally remembered them. She jokingly asked, "It's rare to see the three of you not together. How have you been lately?"
"Me? I'm fine. As for the two of them..." Lang Ri grinned, shaking the two puppies in his hands, making the two little huskies see stars. "They're alright too."
Xu Wen looked at the two puppies in Lang Ri's hands, examining their glossy fur, and frowned deeply: "Two more?"
Seriously, is such a good-looking puppy really a stray?
I seriously suspect that some pet shop down the mountain forgot to lock itself, which is why these little guys escaped.
Lang Ri didn't feel comfortable talking to them much, so he could only say, "That makes sense. I'll go back and search for it. Bye."
He had only taken two steps when he turned back to look at the bird on his assistant's shoulder, his eyes carrying a hint of warning: "I said, I'm leaving."
The bird's expression froze for a moment, its head stiffening slightly, as if unwilling yet forced to obey. After hesitating for a second, it finally fluttered its wings and flew away from the assistant's shoulder from the office building lobby. The flapping of its wings created a fragrant breeze that brushed against Lu Lu's cheek.
"Hmph." Lang Ri was finally satisfied, shaking the little dog in his hand as he left.
The three people: "......"
Shan Hai Live brings you new and amazing experiences every day.
Of course, this was nothing compared to what the three of them experienced when they arrived at Zhang Mo's office.
Next to Zhang Mo's enormous desk, a huge, three-tiered luxury cat tree had appeared out of nowhere.
Upon hearing someone enter, the little fox on the top floor immediately straightened up gracefully and looked down at them with its all-seeing eyes, displaying an arrogant gaze that seemed to look down upon all living beings.
However, these are not the main points; the main points are the following two layers—
"A panda?! Is this a panda?! This is a panda, right?!" The assistant was stunned. Her briefcase fell to the ground with a "thud." She couldn't control her emotions and screamed. Her eyes were wide open, her mouth was agape, and she pointed at the middle shelf of the cat tree, her voice trembling.
Two little black and white creatures were snuggling together on the second-floor hammock. One was happily munching on a bright green bamboo shoot, while the other clung to the edge of the hammock, swinging its short legs and staring curiously at the doorway with its black grape-like eyes. A few bamboo shavings clung to the corner of its mouth, making it look incredibly adorable.
Xu Wen was deeply shocked and speechless for a moment.
Okay, okay, it turns out it wasn't a pet shop that forgot to lock its door, it was a zoo that forgot to lock its door!
This isn't just a question of whether it's reasonable or not; it's about whether it's legal!
Only Lu Lu managed to retain the last shred of her sanity, asking with a hint of uncertainty, "This... is a Chow Chow, right?"
She had seen in the news that some people dyed their Chow Chow cubs so that they looked somewhat like pandas.
After all... it was the only possibility she could think of.
But... isn't it a bit too similar?
"Wait a second." Zhang Mo was writing an employee notice.
Effective immediately, any livestreamer who enters or leaves the office area without special permission will have their entire monthly performance bonus deducted!
After writing the last word and pressing the send button, she pushed the keyboard aside and smiled brightly: "Teacher Lu is so smart. Come on, you two, greet everyone."
The little white dumplings and round dumplings obediently barked, "Woof~"
The little fox at the top shook its head, feeling sorry for their misfortune and angry at their lack of self-confidence. These two couldn't even acknowledge their own kind, yet they seemed quite happy about it.
Only after hearing the word "Woof" did Xu Wen, Lu Lu, and their assistant breathe a sigh of relief.
As for why Chow Chows gnaw on bamboo shoots?
Don't worry about the details; if Mr. Zhang says it's a dog, then it's a dog...
Xu Wen: "Alright, you guys keep chatting, I'll head down now."
Zhang Mo: "Go ahead."
Lu Lu: "Have you read the proposal I sent to General Manager Zhang before?"
Zhang Mo nodded slightly: "I've seen it. Your escape room variety show has already reached its tenth season, and the fan base is indeed very stable. However, it is still quite difficult to achieve a breakthrough on this basis."
Lu Lu's gaze was firm: "Therefore, this season, I would like to invite Master Lu from your company to be the program's consultant."
Zhang Mo had met a shop owner when she played murder mystery games. Later, this person switched to running an escape room business and did quite well, owning several chain stores.
After the archaeological and dormitory construction projects were completed, Zhang Mo introduced Lu Zheng to the shop owner.
Lu Zheng spent only half a month and at a very low cost to adjust all the existing secret rooms in the store.
What was originally an ordinary secret room immediately became fraught with danger, with unknown dangers and surprises hidden in every corner.
After the game ended, the players, who had been crying and wailing, exclaimed how awesome it was and praised the escape room highly!
The store became an instant hit on social media as a result.
Unexpectedly, even the Southern Province TV station heard about this and accurately found out Lu Zheng's identity through various channels.
Just thinking about how many viewers would scream like pigs when the show airs and how much traffic it would generate, Zhang Mo smiled, resting her chin on her hand: "That's interesting."
