Chapter 123
After Director Tang's earnest explanation, Colonel Ming finally accepted the heavy truth after a long while.
Seeing that he had recovered, Director Tang glanced at the clock on the wall and asked again, "So do you agree that Nini can go to the Beek Zoo, or do you disagree?"
To be honest, Colonel Ming often watched videos of the Beek Zoo. Nini's condition was very bad, and he also thought that if Nini could go to the Beek Zoo, her condition would improve.
But every time this thought came up, he would dismiss it.
The compatibility of giant pandas with the Ancient Blue Planet is 100%. The Ancient Blue Planet has transported many animals and plants to various planets in the Federation, but they cannot transport giant pandas because they can only adapt to the climate of the Ancient Blue Planet. Once they arrive on other planets, they will suffer from severe acclimatization and eventually die of organ failure.
Tiexiong is an evolved species of giant panda. Because of its extraordinary talent, it is not restricted by water and soil. However, Nini is too seriously ill. Colonel Ming believes that no matter what, Nini's ancestral home, Ancient Blue Star, must be more suitable for her to live in than other planets. Therefore, even though he envied the Piccolo Zoo, he never thought of sending Nini away from Ancient Blue Star.
After 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 hasn't improved at all. I mean, give it a try. If it doesn't work, I can bring Nini back. But right now, it seems like Nini really treats Director Mu differently."
At the mention of "different", Colonel Ming's heart broke again. He was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you are the experts, let's follow your plan."
Director Tang smiled and said, "Then we will talk to Director Mu tomorrow."
The call finally ended. Principal Tang yawned and was finally able to go back to his room to sleep.
As a result, he had just stood up when the computer started ringing again.
I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Deputy Director Liu.
After the call was connected, after listening to what Deputy Director Liu said, Director Tang fell silent.
"You mean, in this case of arrogance, we have to rely on the butcher?"
Deputy Director Liu said helplessly, "Yes, the pregnancy 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 then the baby badger will be taken away by the people from 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 increase dramatically by then."
Director Tang frowned, "But the plan you mentioned is a bit too extreme..."
Deputy Director Liu also felt embarrassed. "But I think this is the best approach. You should have talked to Nini's owner today. You'll be talking to Director Mu tomorrow anyway, so why not discuss the arrogance and butcher issues together?"
Director Tang had a headache: "Then I'll think about it again."
After hanging up the phone, Director Tang's good mood disappeared in an instant. He lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. His mind was full of these things.
The next day, Director Tang went to work with dark circles under his eyes.
As soon as Director Tang arrived at the zoo, he asked the staff where Director Mu was.
Upon learning 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 medicine.
Nini's fur is very dirty. Since it came to the Maple Leaf Zoo, it has never had a proper bath. There are bald spots on many parts of its skin, and it is losing hair severely. Some of its hair pads are also red, swollen and necrotic.
Director Mu is wiping it now. Although it is not as clean as taking a bath, it at least has a sterilizing effect.
Watching her wipe her face and ears very skillfully, it was obvious that she had wiped their silver snow bear that had skin disease many times before.
Nini was very cooperative. She would raise her head when asked to and tilt her head when asked to. After her head was wiped, Director Mu wiped her neck, chest and back.
By the time even the armpits were wiped, Nini became a little impatient and turned her head and made a "click" sound.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a piece of bamboo shoot was fed into his mouth.
Nini immediately ate the bamboo shoot tips with a smacking sound, then turned back and ate "gulp".
But this time, Director Mu didn't give it to her. She grabbed Nini's paws and helped her wipe her hands, even leaving out the gaps between her nails. Then she wiped her hands, her butt, and her feet.
Seeing that she couldn't get any food, Nini was tired after being tossed around over and over again, so she lay down on the bed and sighed softly.
Director Tang: “…”
Director Tang wanted to laugh and felt healed when watching it.
He had never seen Nini so relaxed.
Soon, the wiping was over, and after Director Mu coaxed Nini to sleep, he came out with the basin of medicine.
As soon as Mu Ling left the ward, a staff member quickly took the basin of water from her hand. Mu Ling smiled and said "thank you". Turning her head, she saw the smiling Director Tang again.
Mu Ling also greeted him with a smile: "Director Tang, you're here so early?"
Director Tang said, "You are here earlier, thank you for your hard work."
Mu Ling put down her rolled-up sleeves nonchalantly: "I'm fine, I'm used to it at the Beak Zoo."
Director Tang then said, "I remember when Lao Liu contacted you yesterday, you were waiting in line at the giant panda pavilion. Do you want to see the giant pandas? Since Nini is asleep, would you like me to take you to see the giant pandas?"
Mu Ling was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "Now? But the park isn't open yet."
Director Tang said, "You can only enter the venue if the door is not open. Do you want to go in?"
When Mu Ling thought about being able to go backstage at the Giant Panda Pavilion, her head nodded instantly like a chick pecking at rice!
She then asked: "Can I call another staff member?"
Don’t forget Brother Xiang even if something good happens!
Director Tang was very easy to talk to and said readily, "Of course."
Xiang Bie went out with Mu Ling in the morning. He went to the butcher to guard the place, while Mu Ling came to Nini's place.
Xiang Bie received Mu Ling's call and told the arrogant breeder about it. Unexpectedly, the arrogant breeder was even happier than him. He urged him to go quickly with an attentive smile on his face.
Xiang Bie felt something was wrong. After he drove away in another car, he was halfway there when he looked back through the rearview mirror.
Xiang Bie met Mu Ling at the door, and the two were soon led into the giant panda pavilion by Director Tang himself.
The giant panda pavilion here is divided into two parts. One half is the giant panda dormitory, which is not open to the public. There are rows of cages inside.
Half of it is the outdoor area, which is equipped with many recreational facilities for climbing up and down, specially for the giant pandas.
To enter the giant panda dormitory, they need to wear special sterilization clothes. After they change their clothes and go in, they see nannies delivering breakfast to the giant pandas in each room.
The three of them looked all the way, and as they were looking, Mu Ling suddenly stopped in front of a cage.
Outside the cage, a staff member was seen bribing the giant panda mother with an apple.
"You eat this, and give me the child."
As the staff member spoke, he forced the apple into the arms of a giant panda mother, then grabbed her panda cub with his other hand, and quickly handed over the apple to the mother with one hand and the cub with the other, completing today's exchange of apple for apple.
The mother giant panda who got the apple was showing off happily, while the baby giant panda had been taken away by the staff to be fed.
Mu Ling had also seen this kind of forgotten child video on Star Internet. Seeing it live today, she still found it very funny.
Director Tang then asked, "Director Mu, would you like to try feeding the cubs?"
Mu Ling was stunned. He looked at Director Tang, who looked like an angel today, in disbelief. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Is this possible? Is this possible?"
Director Tang signaled to the staff member, who then gave the cub and the bottle to Mu Ling.
Mu Ling hugged the soft panda cub excitedly. She quickly fell in love with the little panda cub and began to get lost in the confused and cute dark circles under his eyes.
She fed the black and white ball with a silly smile. The little guy drank milk very hard. He finished the whole bottle of milk in a few slurps.
It was unwilling to let go after drinking all the milk, and it held its small bottle tightly, stubbornly hoping that it could still suck out milk.
Mu Ling caressed its fur lovingly, and when she turned around, she saw the giant panda mother who had finished eating the 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 big and small pandas are so cute!
Finally, Mu Ling reluctantly returned the cub to the staff. She then asked Director Tang, "Director Tang, how did you resist not 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 pavilion and sleep here whenever I have time!"
Director Tang: “???”
Director Tang, who didn't quite understand the culture of the Beek Zoo, didn't know that Mu Ling had actually gotten herself a bed in the second service area of the Beek Zoo, and that she would actually sleep with the animals whenever she had free time.
Xiang Bie really wanted to explain to Mu Ling that not all zoo directors like to abuse their power for personal gain, but the one who caught his attention more today was Director Tang.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Consider the arrogant breeder.
Think again about Principal Tang’s deliberate behavior today.
There's a high probability that he must be asking for something!
After visiting the panda pavilion for more than half an hour, Mu Ling still felt unsatisfied when she came out. At this time, Director Tang finally revealed his purpose: "Director Mu, are the giant pandas cute?"
Mu Ling nodded repeatedly: "Cute, cute, cute!"
"You want it?"
“I want, I want, I want!”
"Here's one."
“Okay… eh?”
Mu Ling's eyes widened instantly, she was incredulous: "What?"
Director Tang sighed, "I mean Nini, Director Mu, you have seen Nini's condition. We are definitely impressed by your treatment methods, but what should Nini do after you are gone? I communicated with Nini's owner last night, and the other party also said that if possible, they hope to transfer Nini to your Beak Zoo. I just don't know if you are willing to do so?"
Of course Mu Ling was willing, but she felt embarrassed. She brought the butcher to a blind date, so how could it be considered poaching?
Seeing Mu Ling hesitate, Director Tang's face changed drastically: "You don't like Nini?"
Mu Ling quickly said: "How could that be? Of course I like it!"
"Then why are you unwilling to accept Nini?"
Mu Ling was about to say, if you don't feel offended, of course I'm willing to accept it, but at this time, Brother Xiang suddenly said, "I want to ask, do you mean to simply temporarily foster Nini in our Beak Zoo like the War Beast Nursery, or to 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 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 that this was not a difficult task, why did Director Tang make so many preparations?
Xiang Bie couldn't help but start a conspiracy theory, 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 send many of their own people to follow. This was equivalent to taking advantage of the treatment system of the Piccolo Zoo, but at the same time wanting to get privileges in their park.
If this is the case, some conditions must be negotiated in advance.
"Transfer to another kindergarten!" Director Tang said very confidently. How could an adopted daughter be treated as well as a biological daughter?
Xiang Bie was stunned.
"Transfer to the park?"
If we transfer to another park, the other party will not send their own people to follow?
Xiang Bie fell into deep thought.
Director Tang then asked cautiously: "No, is it not possible?"
Mu Ling didn't know what Brother Xiang meant, so she asked cautiously, "Is it not possible?"
Category: "..."
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 with that. If you've really decided, then we have absolutely no problem with you transferring to another garden!"
Director Tang heaved a sigh of relief. "Since you agree, I'll have the people below take care of the formalities first!"
Mu Ling nodded repeatedly.
The negotiations went smoothly, but then 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 to say. It's about arrogance and butchers."
Mu Ling was confused: "What happened to Arrogant and Butcher?"
"It's about their children. I heard from Kuang Wang's breeder that you, Director Mu, gave him an idea. You said that if Kuang Wang lost his children, he could spend more time with his family and friends. After much thought, the only relative Kuang Wang could accept at the moment was the butcher. So... we wanted to..."
Xiang Bie's face had turned cold by now.
So that's what it was.
They want the butcher!
Mu Ling also heard it. To be honest, the Butcher was living well in the Beak Zoo. The jungle was vast and he lived freely in the mountains. If the Butcher was allowed to return to a caged environment, he might not be able to adapt.
Moreover, if they want to keep the butcher, they must communicate with the butcher's owner. If the owner does not agree, they cannot force him.
But think about it again, the butcher is the father of the arrogant child after all. He can't mate with him, but he has no responsibility. If the arrogant really needs the butcher's company, no matter what, they really shouldn't stand idly by.
Mu Ling was in a complicated mood and was about to say that she would ask the butcher's owner first.
Then, Director Tang said in an embarrassed voice, "So, we're thinking... can we send Kuangwang to your place as well? Of course, this time it's not a transfer, it's foster care. Kuangwang isn't as seriously ill as Nini, and we'd like to take him back in the future..."
Mu Ling: “…”
Category: "..."
Mu Ling looked at Principal Tang in astonishment. His ears were red and he was very embarrassed because he felt that he had made some excessive demands.
She was speechless for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "You mean, you want to be arrogant and go back to Beak Zoo with us?"
Director Tang's neck turned red. He was an old man who had never been so shameless. He said anxiously, "It's mainly because of the arrogance. We have to prepare for it..."
Mu Ling suddenly laughed. She said, "Director Tang, what are you talking about? You are so arrogant! As a family member of the butcher, Beak Zoo is half of its home. It can come to its husband's house if it wants to, and go back to its mother's house if it wants to. As long as you agree, we will definitely cooperate with you."
Director Tang was instantly surprised: "Really? Its owner has agreed!"
He immediately shook hands with Mu Ling again: "Thank you so much, Director Mu!"
The two principals reached a consensus in this way.
And the item...
He overestimated the scheming of those animal workers...
Really no brains...
In the next few days, Mu Ling and Xiang Bie continued to work separately, one guarding Kuang Wang and Butcher, and the other guarding Nini.
Five days later, Kuangwang and Butcher finally finished mating, and the Maple Leaf Zoo also packed the luggage for Kuangwang and Nini.
Before setting off, Mu Ling and Xiang Bie, pushing their suitcases, which were the same size they arrived and would be the same size when they left, stared at the truck in silence. "Put them sideways. Yes, put them 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 part."
"Hey, be careful here. You have to handle the honey with care. It's all wild mountain honey, collected by beekeepers. It's not cut open. The honeycombs are full of insect eggs. Be careful not to open the box. Make sure it's sealed tightly."
Mu Ling was stunned and very surprised: "Liu, Deputy Director Liu? Director He?"
Deputy Director Liu and Director He saw Mu Ling coming and came over and said, "Director Mu, are you ready? Oh, and we've also prepared some specialties for you. They're all unique to our Ancient Blue Star. If you find them delicious, call us and we'll send them to you."
Mu Ling saw that among the pile of bamboo and honey, there were indeed two boxes of specialty products. 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 big, enough for Nini to eat for at least a few years. What's more, the bamboo can grow again after she eats it.
As for honey, they do have some, although not much. But the black-clawed badger cannot eat honey every day, otherwise its teeth will be damaged!
"Oh, these bamboos are specially cultivated for giant pandas to eat. 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 the rooster love to eat these wild mountain honeys? When it misses home, let it eat some. It tastes like home."
Mu Ling: “…”
Nini is fine, she was indeed born on the ancient blue star, but Kuangwang is not a badger from the ancient blue star. It was also sent here for adoption, and it has only been here for half a year. Can this be considered the taste of home?
Anyway, the things had already been loaded into the truck, and Mu Ling had no choice but to take the truck away.
The truck was transporting freight and was first sent back to the Beek Zoo, while Mu Ling and Xiang Bie's flights would arrive two hours later.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Wei Li, with a silent look on his face, led dozens of staff members to unload the goods exhaustedly.
After the entire truck of bamboo boxes was finally unloaded, dozens of people looked at each other in confusion, speechless.
"Brother Wei, did the director and Brother Xiang get scammed? Why did they buy so much bamboo? Are they going to build a bamboo house? But we have bamboo of our own."
"Yes, and these boxes are all locked tightly, with no signs on the outside, but I smell honey. Could they have been tricked into buying some uncertified health supplement?"
Wei Li had no idea, so he could only say, "Let's wait until they come back."
So the group of people ate while waiting, and when they finished dinner, the director and Brother Xiang finally came back.
The truck drove to the door, Xiang Bie got out from the passenger seat first, 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 and said, "Oh, our butcher is finally home. Did your blind date go well this time?"
"Brother Wei, something's wrong." Xiao Zhao came over and frowned, "Is my memory distorted? Was the butcher originally this small? Why do I remember it used to be bigger?"
Fass also said at this time: "Has the Butcher's fur become duller? Is mating so harmful to the body?"
"These fangs, why do I remember that the butcher's fangs were longer when he went out?"
Nurse Xiaoyan was shocked at this time: "Oh, why is the butcher not Dingding anymore!"
Everyone was in an uproar!
"What what! No more Ding Ding! The butcher was neutered?"
"You illiterate, sterilization means removing the testicles, didn't you hear the ding ding?"
Mu Ling got out of the trunk of the car at this time. She looked at the people who were making a fuss over there, and handed another cage to Brother Xiang with an indifferent face. After Xiang Bie took it, he turned around and handed it to Wei Li.
"Huh?"
“Eh???”
Wei Li held a cage in his left hand and another cage in his right hand.
He lifted up the two cages at the same time, looking very confused. "Two, two Black Claw Badgers?"
The others were also shocked: "Director, why are there two black-clawed badgers?"
Mu Ling said: "The older one is the butcher, and the younger 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 customary to follow the hens wherever they marry, and to follow the dogs wherever they marry?"
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling didn't have time to explain so much to them, so she just said, "Come over and help, help move it."
Everyone hurried to the back of the carriage and saw a huge cage inside. Inside the cage, a giant panda was eating bamboo shoots, blinking its dark eyes and looking at the people outside with a confused look on its face.
"Fuck!"
“What the hell!!!!”
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 500,000 yuan, 150,000 yuan for adoption, and 350,000 yuan for medical treatment. I said I didn't want it, but they insisted, saying that if I didn't accept it, I would look down on them. So I had no choice but to take it back. I was actually in a difficult situation."
Everyone: “?”
