Chapter 1

It was a hot August day.

At the foot of a mountain near the Bik Jungle on the God King Planet, the owner of a small supermarket in the scenic area was dozing off with his eyes closed.

The holographic TV next to him was broadcasting today's news. Another alien riot had occurred on Planet 917 at the border of the southwest star region. This was the second riot this year. The host's tone was solemn. While reporting the news, a live video was also played in the back, showing that the battle was indeed quite intense.

The dozing eyes slowly closed, and with the hypnotic sound of the news, the boss was about to fall asleep.

"Bang." A small sound suddenly rang out.

The boss opened his eyes and saw a bottle of mineral water on the cash register. His line of sight followed the mineral water and looked at the young girl outside the cash register.

The girl had bright features and was very pretty, but at the moment her cheeks were slightly red and her forehead was covered with sweat, obviously she was exposed to the sun in the hot weather outside.

The boss stood up and put the mineral water in front of the scanner and scanned it: "Five yuan."

The mineral water cost one yuan, and this was the price in the scenic area.

The girl raised her hand and used the computer to scan the payment code. After paying, she squeezed the mineral water and drank it in one gulp.

The boss looked quite amused and asked, "Are you traveling with a tour group? Why are there tour groups coming here on such a hot day?"

The girl, Mu Ling, drank half a bottle of water in one gulp and stood at the door of the supermarket to enjoy the air conditioning for a while. Only then did she feel a little relieved from the heat. She smiled and said, "I'm not here to travel. I'm here to do some business. Boss, can I ask you if there is a zoo on this mountain?"

The boss sat back in his chair. It was noon and there was no one in the scenic area. He was also happy. Someone had to chat with him: "There is a zoo, but it has been closed for more than half a year."

Mu Ling asked again: "Before it closed, did the zoo have good customer flow?"

The boss laughed: "If the customer flow was good, would it still be closed?"

Mu Ling moved over: "Boss, can you tell me more about this zoo? To be honest, I came here for this zoo, and I also run a zoo."

The boss looked Mu Ling up and down. The girl was so young, but she actually ran a zoo? It must be run by her family, so are you here to conduct research and learn from the failure cases?

The boss was not afraid to speak out, and said slowly: "That zoo was opened two years ago. It was a big fuss at the beginning, but it is a wild animal park after all, and wild animals are very dangerous. So except for a little spark in the beginning, the number of tourists decreased, and there were no tourists in less than a year."

Mu Ling was surprised: "Aren't wild animals more special than ordinary zoos? Why are there even fewer tourists?"

The boss chuckled: "What's the use of having special features? It's not practical. Are there animal performances? Is there a snack bar in the scenic area? , Ferris wheel, amusement park? Without these, how can you attract adults and children to come? The mountain is still full of pristine jungle, which is said to preserve the living environment of wild animals to the greatest extent. However, the mountain roads are too steep, the environment is so bad, and the animals are not caged and run around in the jungle. Tourists often come but can't see the animals. If they see the animals, they are afraid of being attacked and dare not approach them from a distance. What can they see? In short, people come here for the novelty, who would come a second time? "

Mu Ling thought for a while: "But I heard that we This plant tourist attraction at the foot of the mountain was also established thanks to the zoo. I thought it was because the zoo was so popular that it drove the development of the surrounding areas. "

The boss waved his hands and said, "How is that possible? The government was deceived. The zoo was run by a female boss from the capital planet. The female boss bought the entire primeval jungle on the mountain, more than three million square kilometers, saying that she wanted to build the largest wild animal park in the universe. The big cake was drawn, and our government was fooled. All resources were tilted towards the zoo. They hoped that the zoo could boost the local tourism industry on the God King Star, and even allocated funds to build a botanical garden at the foot of the mountain to cooperate with the zoo. But now the zoo has closed down, the government is in debt, and the botanical garden is half dead. It can only attract some popularity through the flower shows in April and October every year. "

Mu Ling: "..."

Mu Ling felt guilty as she listened, not for anything else, but because the female boss who bought the primitive jungle on the mountain and painted a big cake for the God King Star government was none other than her aunt whom she had never met.

Mu Ling has lived on the 877 rural star since she was a child. A month ago, she received a call from a lawyer, who told her that her aunt who was far away on the capital star had passed away and left her a wild animal park as an inheritance, and asked her to go over and sign the transfer.

At first, Mu Ling thought it was a telecom scam. She had no parents and was taken home by her grandfather to be raised since she was a child. Where did the aunt come from?

After verification, it turned out that the other party was not a scam. She actually had relatives. This kind of pie in the sky really happened to her.

Mu Ling inherited a zoo inexplicably.

Of course, the inheritance was not inherited by her for nothing. She also had to pay a price.

The lawyer said that according to her aunt's will, she had to run the zoo for three years before she could really get the zoo.

Mu Ling didn't know why at first. She just thought that her aunt loved animals and couldn't let go of the zoo and wanted the zoo to continue to develop.

As a result, she finally found out now. It turned out that her aunt had boasted so much to the government of the God King Star, and after defrauding them of funds and benefits, she just walked away and closed the business, leaving them a mess!

So she came here just to pay off her debts. If she runs away again, her family will really be scammed!

Mu Ling's head hurt a little, but she didn't know how to run a zoo. The lawyer said that there were still two employees in the zoo. If she didn't understand something, she could consult those two employees. Mu Ling planned to discuss it with the two of them when she met them.

The sun outside was still terribly bright. Mu Ling had become acquainted with the owner of the small supermarket, so she simply stayed inside, chatting with him while waiting for the employee named "Wei Li" who had contacted her to come down the mountain to pick her up.

Seeing that Mu Ling was not leaving, the boss also started to try to make an approach. He subtly moved to another counter and said, "Little girl, I think we have a connection. Do you want to buy some souvenirs from our scenic spot? You see, I have everything here, postcards, little dolls with the scenic spot logo, and these small potted plants. They are all specially bred by experts from the botanical garden. Look, they are so cute. They can be kept alive and even bloom with just some water."

Mu Ling: "..."

Boss, it turns out that your enthusiasm is charged...

But she didn't know how long she would have to wait here for someone, and Mu Ling was embarrassed to just buy a bottle of mineral water. She took a look and finally bought a small potted plant at the scenic spot price, seventy-eight Star Coins.

When the boss saw that she actually bought it, he immediately and happily recommended her a more expensive gift box souvenir.

Mu Ling: "..."

Mu Ling was really scared this time, and she didn't dare to use the air conditioner anymore. She dragged her suitcase, hugged the small potted plant, and fled.

Fortunately, Mu Ling didn't bask in the sun for long before the person who came to pick her up arrived.

The other party was driving a truck with monkey stickers and leopard stickers on the body of the truck, and the "Bic Zoo" logo on it. It was obviously their zoo's car. The person

who got off the car was a young man in his twenties, tall, strong, and a little dark.

As soon as the two parties met, the other party greeted enthusiastically: "Is it Director Mu? I've been waiting for a long time."

Mu Ling hurriedly shook hands with the other party, indicating that she had just arrived.

The two parties got in the car. The air conditioner was not turned on in the car, and Mu Ling felt a little hot.

The male employee named Wei Li was a little embarrassed: "It's only a 15-minute drive up the mountain, and the air conditioner is too energy-consuming to turn on and off..."

Mu Ling understood that this was to save money for the zoo. After the zoo closed, there would not be much money left in the account.

Mu Ling said hurriedly: "It's okay, I'm not hot, but it should be cooler on the mountain than at the foot of the mountain, right?"

Wei Li smiled and said: "It's cooler on the mountain, there is a mountain breeze, and except for the hottest days in summer, the air conditioner can be turned off normally." Mu

Ling nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Her biggest problem was fear of heat.

Wei Li added: "Lawyer Xu told us before that a new director will be here soon. I didn't believe it, but when I saw you, Director Mu, my heart finally settled down. Director Mu is young and promising. He can lead our zoo to new heights."

Mu Ling: "..."

What's going on? Why did he suddenly start praising her?

Wei Li drove the car and continued, "With a backbone, we are more motivated to work. The animals in the zoo will have to get the vaccinations for the second half of this year as soon as September comes. It's time to get another batch of food for the animals. This batch can only last for three days at most. Because the weather is too hot, the food is not easy to preserve. We dare not buy too much, but we still have to buy..."

Mu Ling: "..."

It turns out that he was bragging about her to hint that she should pay...

Mu Ling asked cautiously: "Brother Wei, how much money is left in our zoo account?"

Wei Li: "Negative 52,000."

Mu Ling: "..."

How much!

Lost right when we arrived?

Wei Li glanced at the new director: "In fact, we have run out of money a long time ago. There are a total of 102 animals left in the zoo. The daily food costs a lot. The 52,000 yuan was paid by Brother Xiang, who is another employee. If you don't come, Brother Xiang and I will have to move bricks to run the zoo."

Mu Ling: "..."

But it's useless for the director to come, and the director is also a poor guy...

Wei Li asked again: "Director, are we going to reopen the business? When are we going to reopen?"

Yes, even if he wants to escape, if he wants to make money, the only way is to reopen the business.

Mu Ling wiped his face, his face suddenly became fierce: "Immediately! Right away! The sooner the better!"

Wei Li: "..."
