Chapter 123
Colonel Ming finally accepted the heavy truth after a long while of explanation from Director Tang.
Seeing that he had recovered, Director Tang glanced at the clock on the wall and asked again: "So do you agree to Nini going to the Piccolo Zoo, or do you disagree?" To be
honest, Colonel Ming often watched videos of the Piccolo Zoo. Nini's condition was very bad, and he also thought that if Nini could go to the Piccolo Zoo, would her condition improve?
But every time this idea came up, he would dismiss it.
The compatibility of giant pandas and Ancient Blue Star is 100%. Ancient Blue Star has transported many animals and plants to various planets in the Federation, but they cannot transport giant pandas because giant pandas can only adapt to the climate of Ancient Blue Star. Once they arrive at other planets, they will die of organ failure due to severe acclimatization.
Iron Bear is an evolved species of giant panda. Because of its extraordinary talent, it is not restricted by water and soil. However, Nini is too sick. Colonel Ming believes that no matter what, Nini’s ancestral home, Ancient Blue Star, must be more suitable for her to live than other planets. Therefore, even if it is very greedy for Bick Zoo, he has never thought of sending Nini away from Ancient Blue Star.
Now hearing what Director Tang said, Colonel Ming expressed his concerns.
Director Tang said, "But even if she stays on Ancient Blue Star, Nini's condition has not improved at all. I mean, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can bring Nini back. But at present, Nini is indeed different from Director Mu."
When he said "different", Colonel Ming's heart broke again, and then he was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you are experts, let's follow your plan."
Director Tang smiled and said, "Then we will talk to Director Mu tomorrow."
Finally, the call ended. Director Tang yawned and was able to go back to his room to sleep.
As a result, he just got up and the computer rang again.
He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Deputy Director Liu.
After the call was connected, Director Tang fell silent after listening to what Deputy Director Liu said.
"You mean, in Kuangwang's case, we have to rely on the butcher?"
Deputy Director Liu said helplessly: "Yes, the gestation period of the black-clawed badger is 50-70 days. After giving birth, Kuangwang can only take care of the baby badger for a month at most, and the baby badger will be taken away by the people in the War Beast Center. We don't have much time. It also takes time for Kuangwang to cultivate feelings with other animals. We can't wait until Kuangwang gives birth before considering its emotional problems. It will be too late, and its damage value will definitely skyrocket by then."
Tang The director frowned: "But the plan you mentioned is a bit too much..."
Deputy Director Liu also felt embarrassed: "But I think this is the best way. You should have talked to Nini's owner today. Anyway, you will talk to Director Mu tomorrow, so why not talk about the arrogance and the butcher together."
Director Tang had a headache: "Then I will think about it again."
After hanging up the call, the good mood was gone. Director Tang lay on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time. His mind was full of these things.
The next day, Director Tang went to work with two dark circles under his eyes. As
soon as Director Tang arrived at the zoo, he asked the staff where Director Mu was.
Knowing that Director Mu had gone to feed Nini, he rushed to the veterinary station.
In the veterinary station, Mu Ling had already fed Nini breakfast. The young girl in protective clothing was now wiping the body of the huge black and white bear with a towel soaked in liquid medicine.
Nini's fur was already very dirty. Since it came to Maple Leaf Zoo, it had never had a proper bath. Many parts of its skin were bald, and its hair loss was serious. Some of its fur was red and swollen.
Director Mu was wiping it now. Although it was not as clean as a bath, it at least had a sterilizing effect.
Watching her wipe her face and ears, she wiped them very skillfully. It was obvious that she had wiped their silver snow bear that had skin disease before.
And Nini was very cooperative. She would raise her head when asked to and tilt her head when asked to. After wiping her head, Director Mu wiped her neck, chest, and back.
When even the armpits were wiped, Nini became a little impatient and turned her head and made a "crunch".
Just as she opened her mouth, a piece of bamboo shoot tip was fed into her mouth.
Nini immediately ate the bamboo shoot tip with a smacking sound, and then turned her head and made another "crunch".
But this time, Director Mu didn't give it to her. She grabbed Nini's paws and helped her wipe her hands, not even leaving the gaps between her nails. Then she wiped her hands, her butt, and her feet.
Nini saw that there was no food left, and after being tossed around over and over again, she was tired, so she lay on the bed and sighed softly.
Director Tang: "..."
Director Tang wanted to laugh when he saw this, but he also felt healed.
He had never seen Nini so relaxed.
Soon, the wiping was over, and Director Mu coaxed Nini to sleep before coming out with the basin of medicine.
As soon as Mu Ling left the ward, a staff member quickly took the basin from her hand. Mu Ling smiled and said "thank you", then turned around and saw the smiling Director Tang again.
Mu Ling also smiled and said hello: "Director Tang, you are here so early?"
Director Tang said: "You were earlier, thank you for your hard work."
Mu Ling put down his rolled-up sleeves indifferently: "I'm fine, I'm used to it at the Bik Zoo."
Director Tang said at this time: "I remember when Lao Liu contacted you yesterday, you were queuing up at the giant panda venue. Do you want to see giant pandas? Since Nini is also asleep, do you want me to take you to see giant pandas?"
Mu Ling was stunned. After a moment, his eyes lit up: "Now? But the park is not open yet."
Director Tang said: "You can't enter the venue until the door is opened. Do you want to go in?"
When Mu Ling thought about being able to enter the backstage of the Giant Panda Pavilion, her head started to nod like a chicken pecking at rice!
She asked again: "Then can I call another staff member of ours?"
We can't forget Brother Xiang when there is a good thing!
Director Tang is very easy to talk to, and he said readily: "Of course."
Xiang Bie went out with Mu Ling in the morning. He went to the butcher's side to guard, and Mu Ling came to Nini's side.
Xiang Bie received Mu Ling's call now, and told the arrogant keeper, but the arrogant keeper was happier than him, with an attentive smile on his face, urging him to go quickly.
Xiang Bie felt strange in his heart. After he drove away in another car, he went halfway and looked back through the rearview mirror.
Xiang Bie met Mu Ling at the door, and the two were soon led by Director Tang himself into the giant panda pavilion.
The giant panda pavilion here is divided into two parts. One half is the giant panda dormitory inside, which is not open to visitors and has rows of cages.
The other half is the outdoor venue outside, which is equipped with many climbing entertainment facilities, which are specially used for giant pandas.
To enter the giant panda dormitory, they need to wear special sterilization clothes. After they changed their clothes and went in, they saw that the nannies were delivering breakfast to the giant pandas one by one in the dormitory.
The three of them looked all the way down, and as they looked, Mu Ling suddenly stopped in front of a cage.
Outside the cage, a staff member was bribing a giant panda mother with an apple.
"You eat this, and give me the child."
The staff member said, and then forced the apple into the arms of a giant panda mother, and then grabbed her panda cub with his other hand, and quickly handed over the panda with one hand and the fruit with the other, realizing today's exchange of cubs for fruit.
The giant panda mother who got the apple was showing off, and the giant panda cub had been taken away by the staff to be fed.
Mu Ling had also seen this kind of video of forgetting the cub on Starnet, and today she saw it live, and she still found it very funny.
Director Tang then asked: "Director Mu, do you want to try to feed the cub?"
Mu Ling was stunned. He looked at Director Tang, who was like an angel today, in disbelief, and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Can I? Can I?"
Director Tang gestured to the staff member, and the other party gave both the cub and the bottle to Mu Ling.
Mu Ling hugged the soft and fluffy panda cub excitedly. In the confused and cute dark circles under the little bear's eyes, Mu Ling quickly fell and began to get lost.
She fed the black and white ball with a silly smile. The little guy sucked the milk very hard. After a few slurps, he drank up the bottle of milk.
It was still unwilling to let go after drinking it all. It held its small bottle tightly, stubbornly hoping to suck out more milk.
Mu Ling stroked its fur lovingly, and turned around to see the mother panda, who had finished eating an apple, lying on the railing in the cage next to her, with her forehead against the railing, looking at her obediently.
Mu Ling's heart melted again!
Both the big and small pandas are so cute!
Finally, Mu Ling reluctantly returned the cub to the staff, and she asked Director Tang again: "Director Tang, how did you resist sleeping here?"
Director Tang: "?"
Mu Ling said: "If I had such a large group of giant pandas at home, I would definitely get myself a bed in the giant panda venue and sleep here when I am free!"
Director Tang: "???"
Director Tang, who did not understand the culture of the Piccolo Zoo very well, did not know that Mu Ling really got herself a bed in the second service area of the Piccolo Zoo, and she really slept with the animals when she was free.
Xiang Bie really wanted to explain to Mu Ling that not all zoo directors like to abuse their power for personal gain, but what caught his attention today was Director Tang.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
Think about that arrogant keeper.
Think about Director Tang's various deliberate behaviors today.
He must have something to ask for!
After visiting the giant panda house for more than half an hour, Mu Ling was still not satisfied when she came out. At this time, Director Tang finally revealed his purpose: "Director Mu, is the giant panda cute?"
Mu Ling nodded repeatedly: "Cute, cute, cute!"
"Do you want one?" "Yes, I want
it, I want it!"
"I'll give you one."
"Well...ah?"
Mu Ling's eyes widened instantly, incredulous: "What?"
Director Tang sighed: "I mean Nini, Director Mu, you have seen Nini's situation, and we are definitely convinced by your treatment methods, but what should Nini do after you leave? I communicated with Nini's owner last night, and the other party also expressed that if possible, they hope to transfer Nini to your Bick Zoo. I just don't know if you are willing?"
Mu Ling was of course willing, but she felt very embarrassed. She brought the butcher to a blind date, so how could she be considered a digger?
Seeing Mu Ling's hesitation, Director Tang's face changed drastically: "You don't like Nini?"
Mu Ling hurriedly said: "How could it be, of course I like it!"
"Then why don't you want to accept Nini?"
Mu Ling was about to say, if you don't feel offended, of course I am willing to accept it, but at this time, Brother Xiang suddenly spoke: "I want to ask, what you mean is, like the War Beast Nursery, simply temporarily send Nini to our BIKE Zoo for foster care, or completely transfer it to another zoo?"
Xiang Bie didn't think that just transferring Nini would make Director Tang spend so much effort. Everyone could see how well Mu Ling took care of Nini in the past two days. She was a soft-hearted person. As long as Director Tang mentioned it, she would definitely not refuse. Since she knew it was not a difficult task, why did Director Tang lay so much foundation?
Xiang Bie couldn't help but conspire, and the worst case scenario he could think of was that the other party planned to send Nini to foster care, and at the same time sent many of their own people to follow. This was equivalent to taking advantage of the treatment system of the Bic Zoo, but at the same time wanting to get special privileges in their zoo.
If this is the case, some conditions must be negotiated in advance.
"Transfer to another zoo!" Director Tang said very firmly, how could an adopted daughter be treated as well as a biological daughter!
Xiang Bie was stunned.
"Transfer to another zoo?"
Transferring to another zoo means, won't the other party send their own people to follow?
Xiang Bie pondered.
Director Tang asked cautiously at this time: "No, can't I?"
Mu Ling didn't know what Brother Xiang meant, so she also asked cautiously: "Can't I?"
Xiang Bie: "..."
Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling, shook his head, and signaled her to make her own decision.
Mu Ling immediately said to Director Tang: "I have no problem. If you have really thought it through, we will definitely have no problem with the transfer!"
Director Tang was relieved: "Since you have agreed, I will let the people below take care of it first!"
Mu Ling nodded repeatedly.
The negotiation went smoothly, but Director Tang's expression became hesitant again.
Xiang Bie noticed it immediately and asked in a deep voice: "Director Tang, is there anything else?"
Director Tang looked embarrassed and said to Mu Ling: "Actually, I do have one more thing here, it's about Kuangwang and the Butcher."
Mu Ling was confused: "What's wrong with Kuangwang and the Butcher?"
"It's about their children. I heard from Kuangwang's keeper that Director Mu gave him an idea that if Kuangwang didn't have children, he could be allowed to interact more with relatives and friends. After thinking about it, the only relative that Kuangwang can accept is the Butcher, so... we want..."
Xiang Bie's face had turned cold at this time.
It turned out to be this matter.
They want the Butcher!
Mu Ling also heard it. Frankly speaking, Butcher was living well in the Bick Zoo. The jungle was vast and he lived freely in the mountains. If Butcher was allowed to return to the cage environment, he might not be able to adapt.
And if they wanted to keep Butcher, they would definitely have to communicate with Butcher's owner. If the owner disagreed, they couldn't force him.
But think about it again. Butcher was the father of the arrogant child after all. He couldn't mate with him, but he had no responsibility. If Arrogant really needed Butcher's company, they really shouldn't have stood idly by no matter what.
Mu Ling felt a little complicated. She was about to say that she would ask Butcher's owner first.
Then Director Tang said embarrassedly: "So, we were thinking... could we send Kuangwang to your place as well? Of course, this time it's not a transfer, it's foster care. Kuangwang's condition is not as serious as Nini's, and we want to take Kuangwang back in the future..."
Mu Ling: "..."
Xiang Bie: "..."
Mu Ling looked at Director Tang in surprise, his ears were red and he was very embarrassed because he felt that he had made an excessive request.
She was silent for a moment and asked uncertainly, "You mean, you want Kuangwang to go back to the Bic Zoo with us?"
Director Tang's neck turned red. He was an old man and had never been so shameless. He said hesitantly, "It's mainly about the situation of Kuangwang. We have to prepare for it..."
Mu Ling suddenly laughed. She said, "Director Tang, what are you talking about? Kuangwang is a butcher's family member, and Bic Zoo is half of his home. He can come to his husband's house if he wants to, and go back to his parents' house if he wants. As long as you agree, we will definitely cooperate with you."
Director Tang was instantly delighted: "Really? Its owner has agreed!"
He immediately shook hands with Mu Ling: "Thank you so much, Director Mu!"
The two directors reached a consensus.
And Xiang Bie...
he overestimated the scheming of their animal workers...
they are really simple-minded...
In the next few days, Mu Ling and Xiang Bie continued to work separately, one guarding Kuangwang and Butcher, and the other guarding Nini.
Five days later, Kuangwang and Butcher finally finished mating, and Maple Leaf Zoo also packed the luggage for Kuangwang and Nini.
Before leaving, Mu Ling and Xiang Bie pushed the suitcases that were the same size as when they came, and looked at the truck in front of them in silence. "Put it horizontally, yes, put it like this, these bamboos are the freshest, and the bamboo shoots over there, these are the most fertile ones grown with nutrient solution, put them in the innermost."
"Hey, be careful here. Handle the honey with care. They are all wild mountain honeys, collected from beekeepers. They are not cut open. The hives are full of insect eggs. Be careful not to open the box. Seal it tightly."
Mu Ling was stunned and said in awe: "Liu, Deputy Director Liu? Director He?"
Deputy Director Liu and Director He saw Mu Ling coming and came over and said: "Director Mu, you are ready. By the way, we have prepared some for you. We have prepared some special products, which are unique to our ancient blue planet. When you find them delicious, call us and we will send them to you. "
Mu Ling saw that there were indeed two boxes of special products among a large pile of bamboo and honey. She was a little dazed: "No, we also have bamboo and honey there..."
There is a bamboo forest in the jungle. The bamboo forest is very large, enough for Nini to eat for at least a few years, not to mention that it can help her grow again after eating.
As for honey, they also have it, although not much, but the black-clawed badger can't eat honey every day, otherwise its teeth will be damaged!
"Well, these bamboos are specially bred for giant pandas. Nini may not be used to eating alien food when she first goes to the God King Planet. It's better to eat some home-cooked meals."
"Doesn't Kuangwang love these wild mountain honeys? When he misses home, let him eat some. They all taste like home."
Mu Ling: "..."
It's okay for Nini. He was indeed born on the ancient blue planet, but Kuangwang is not a badger from the ancient blue planet. He was also sent here to be raised, and he has only been here for half a year. Can this be considered the taste of home?
Anyway, no matter what, the things have been loaded, and Mu Ling has no choice but to take the truck away.
The truck is for freight, and it will be sent back to the Bick Zoo first, while Mu Ling and Xiang's flight will arrive two hours later.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Wei Li, with a silent face, led dozens of staff members to unload the goods exhaustedly.
After finally unloading the entire truck of bamboo boxes, dozens of people were speechless and looked at each other.
"Brother Wei, were the director and Brother Xiang cheated when they went out? Why did they buy so many bamboos? Are they going to build a bamboo house? But we have our own bamboo."
"Yes, and these boxes are all locked tightly, and there is no sign outside, but I smell it, it seems to smell like honey. They can't have been fooled into buying some three-no health products, right?"
Wei Li had no idea, so he could only say: "Let's talk about it when they come back."
So a group of people ate while waiting, and when dinner was over, the director and Brother Xiang finally came back.
The truck drove to the door, Xiang Bie first got out from the passenger seat, holding a cage in his hand and handed it to Wei Li.
Wei Li took the cage and saw the black-clawed badger inside. He smiled: "Oh, our butcher is finally home. Did his blind date go smoothly this time..."
"Brother Wei, something is wrong." Xiao Zhao came over and frowned, "Is my memory wrong? Was the butcher originally so small? Why do I remember it used to be bigger?"
Fass also said: "Has the butcher's fur become duller? Is mating so harmful?"
"These fangs, why do I remember that the butcher's fangs were longer when he went out?"
Nurse Xiaoyan was shocked: "Oh, why is the butcher not Dingding!"
Everyone was shocked at once!
"What?! No more Ding Ding! The butcher was sterilized?"
"You illiterate, sterilization means removing the testicles, I've never heard of removing Ding Ding!"
Mu Ling got out of the trunk of the car at this time. She looked at the surprised people over there and handed the other cage to Brother Xiang with a cold face. After Xiang Bie took it, he turned around and stuffed it into Wei Li's hand.
"Huh?"
"Huh???"
Wei Li had a cage in his left hand and another in his right hand.
He lifted up the two cages at the same time, very confused: "Two, two black-clawed badgers?"
Others were also surprised: "Director, how come there are two black-clawed badgers?"
Mu Ling said: "The big one is the butcher, and the small one is arrogant, the butcher's wife."
Xiao Zhao was surprised: "Director, why is the butcher's wife here too? In the world of black-clawed badgers, is it also the same as marrying a chicken and a chicken follows the chicken, and marrying a dog and a dog follows the dog? ?”
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling didn’t have time to explain so much to them, and only said: “Come over and help, help move it.”
Everyone hurried to the back of the carriage, and saw a huge cage inside the carriage. Inside the cage, a giant panda was eating bamboo shoots, blinking its black eyes, looking at the people outside with a blank face.
“Fuck!”
“Fuck!!!”
After one person screamed, a group of people screamed!
Xiao Zhao was incredulous: "Director, you actually bought a giant panda! How much did it cost?"
Mu Ling said: "Five hundred thousand."
"What, only five hundred thousand?"
Mu Ling said: "Yes, they gave us five hundred thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand for the delivery fee and three hundred and fifty thousand for the treatment fee. I said I would not accept it, but they insisted on giving it to me, and they also said that if I did not accept it, I would look down on them. So I had no choice but to take it back. In fact, I was also in a difficult situation."
Everyone: "?"
