Chapter 160
Although the director was away for only two days this time, he brought back some local specialties.
Yes, they brought back a white leopard with black stripes on a white background. It looked very beautiful, but it had a bad temper and was very fierce.
Mu Ling first asked Dr. Bree to give Zhima a physical examination, and then after recording its admission status, she began to consider Zhima's subsequent placement.
Zhima is definitely not suitable for a shared cage now, but it cannot stay in the nursery for long, because the last two war beasts from the nursery will be delivered soon, and it has to make room for them.
Mu Ling thought so and turned her gaze to the animal dormitory.
Mu Ling had decided to convert the animal dormitory into a new inpatient department, but it was delayed due to some other things and her sudden absence.
Now that people have returned, the renovation has to be put on the routine schedule. When there are more wards, we can allocate one ward to isolate Zhima.
Mu Ling first observed the current layout of the first service area, and then called Brother Xiang, Brother Wei and Dr. Bree to a meeting.
They held the meeting in the animal quarters.
There are several small animals on duty living in the animal dormitory. These are the small animals that are brought to the door to greet visitors when they come in every day.
At this moment, all the tourists had gone up the mountain, and the small animals had returned to the animal dormitories to rest. Mu Ling sat on the ground, holding the old and familiar cat, the long-tailed raccoon, in her arms. She then threw her light brain into the air and said to the others:
"Look, this is the initial map of our first service area."
When the first service area was in version 1.0, Mu Ling had just arrived. When he came in from the gate, there was a large dry open space in front of him. Then on the left was a large supermarket and restaurant, and on the right was a small office building. The first floor of the small building was a parking garage. On one side was an abandoned pond, and on the other side was a small house, which was the veterinary station.
Later, Mu Ling carried out some renovations and turned the first service area into 2.0.
Now when you come in from the gate, there is the iconic square in the middle. With the square as the dividing line, the left side is still the integrated supermarket and restaurant. However, behind the supermarket and restaurant, an additional area for the war beast nursery has been developed. The gate of the nursery is level with the supermarket and restaurant.
On the right side of the square are separate buildings such as animal dormitories, an abandoned pond, a green belt, an office building, and a veterinary station.
Mu Ling pointed to the right side of the map and said, "I was thinking of converting the animal dormitory into an inpatient department. But you see, if we do that, the inpatient department and the veterinary station will be too far apart. There's an old pond, a green belt, and an office building in between. If it rains, and we have to perform surgery on the animals and then transport them to the inpatient department, what if they get caught in the wind or rain and get infected again?"
Mu Ling moved on to the next map. "So, my plan is to tear down the animal dormitories, fill in the old pond, and tear down the green belt. I'll enclose this area and make it into a large animal hospital."
"The animal hospital is designed in a rectangular shape, flush with the office building. Inside, the door doesn't open onto the square, but rather onto the back, to prevent visitors from seeing into the hospital. After all, who owns a zoo? A hospital is right at the entrance."
She scrolled to the next page. "Inside the hospital, right in the middle is the reception desk. If an animal is sick or injured, the responsible keeper fills out forms here. To the left are the outpatient department, the medical staff's office, the pharmacy, the warehouse, and a row and a half of general wards. To the right are three operating rooms, various examination rooms, and a row of intensive care units."
The visual images made by Mu Ling are all 3D and look clear and distinct overall.
After Mu Ling showed everyone the wall slowly, she continued, "The wall behind the hospital faces the square after all, so it must not be wasted. We can open a row of small shops here, just like the second service area, with surrounding shops. This way, not only can tourists shop in the second service area at noon, but they can also buy anything they want before leaving the park in the afternoon. It's more convenient. What do you think?"
Mu Ling obviously put a lot of effort into it. The picture was done carefully and neatly, and all the sizes were marked.
If it is really built as she said, the entire traffic flow will be more scientific.
In addition, she also made some arrangements for the exterior, inserting some greenery wherever possible, making it lively and refreshing.
It takes practicality, business and aesthetics into consideration.
"I think it's great." Wei Li was the first to express his opinion. "But Director, aren't you a rich woman? Didn't you already stake out half of the Piccolo Jungle for holographic surveillance? Why are you making such a big change?"
To make such a big change, the old materials from the dismantled animal dormitories are definitely not enough. We must buy new ones. Moreover, glass houses are not suitable for hospitals. These glasses may not be used at all. How much will it cost from materials to labor?
"It's okay." Mu Ling was completely giving up: "I already owe so much anyway, I'll pay it back slowly, I can pay it back eventually."
As she spoke, she dropped another bombshell: "I'm also planning to build a third service area. We said before that we would accept the first batch of war beasts from the nursery to test the waters and see how it works. So far, it seems that the results are good. The problems of each war beast have basically been solved, and the teaching teachers are also very responsible. However, there are only ten glass rooms, which is really too few. So when we are more mature, I will build a Piccolo War Beast Academy."
"Unlike the Federation's War Beast Academy, theirs is for raising young children, while ours is for caring for the elderly. When the time comes, part of our business will be to take care of our own war beasts, and part of it will be to teach other people's war beasts. Opening other people's war beasts to our home also generates income for us, so the treatment must be good. Turning it into a school is the most intuitive. The school will cover kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, university, and finally graduation. The promotion process is calculated according to the damage value. 80%-99% damage value is for kindergarten students, 70%-79% damage value is for elementary school students, 60-69% damage value is for middle school students, 55-59% damage value is for college students, and below 55% damage value is for graduation, and the war beasts can be taken back to their original zoo by the keepers."
At this point, Mu Ling continued, "Of course, in addition to the third service area that specializes in serving foreign war beasts, we also have to plan our own construction. For example, our bird forest is very simple now, and our monkey forest has more and more monkeys, so we have to make a separate monkey area. The aquarium area will also be put on the agenda later. Our aquatic animals are not very convenient to visit, and..."
"Alright, alright." Seeing Mu Ling talking more and more, Wei Li quickly stopped her: "Alright, Director, stop making empty promises and let's talk about the hospital."
Mu Ling tapped the picture in the air with her chin, rubbed the chin of the sleeping raccoon in her arms, and asked, "So you don't have any objections?"
Wei Li shook his head: "Director, I have no objection if you have money."
Dr. Bray said, "I certainly have no objection, but how long will it take you to build this? It won't take a year or two, will it?"
Mu Ling felt heartbroken when she mentioned this. She said, "I checked and found that if you pay more money, the project can be accelerated. It can be completed in as little as ten days."
After all, the progress of a construction team of 20 people is completely different from that of a construction team of 200 people. In addition, they only work on one floor and there is no pressure on the floor, so the construction will be faster.
Dr. Bray said, "That's fine."
Mu Ling looked at Brother Xiang again: "Brother Xiang? What about you?"
Xiang Bie's eyes were looking at the long-tailed raccoon in Mu Ling's arms. This long-tailed raccoon had been raised to be completely fearless of people. Even if there were people around it, it would still sleep on its belly.
Xiang Bie said calmly: "No problem."
"Okay, I'll contact the person then."
As Mu Ling spoke, she stuffed the long-tailed raccoon into Brother Xiang's arms, then got up and walked out while dialing the number.
Dr. Bray and Wei Li also stood up and left, but Xiang Bie did not move. He still sat there, looking at the long-tailed raccoon in his arms, which was moved to another person's arms but still did not wake up.
"Brother Xiang, what are you doing? Let's go." Wei Li called him at the door.
Xiang Bie said calmly: "You go first, I will learn later."
Wei Li: “?”
-
The construction company arrived that afternoon, surveyed the site, and started construction the next day.
During the construction period, a barrier was built here, and the barrier boards were printed with photos of the completed renovation here. So although there is construction here in appearance, it is not messy and will not affect the viewing experience of tourists.
While the hospital was expanding, Mu Ling started looking for jobs. After all, Professor Sun was old and mainly did research work, not much clinical work. So on the clinical side, there was only one regular doctor, Dr. Bree, and Mu Ling could only be considered a non-staff member. So recruiting new doctors and nurses was urgent.
Mu Ling planned to recruit another doctor and three nurses, so that they would have two doctors and five nurses. One nurse would be on duty at the second service area during the day, and four nurses would be stationed at the main hospital. One doctor would stay in the hospital while the other would go out on field work. After all, for most animals, the keepers could not tell whether they were sick or not, and they had to go to the veterinarian in person to make a judgment.
Mu Ling is always busy. When she is free, she has to help with the harvest, walk around with the devil wolf, and go to the second service area to share the harvest.
Speaking of the second service area, Doubao had already removed the bandages, and as soon as this stealthy tiger was released, he was scolded by Meihua.
Doubao had previously stolen Meihua's meals for pregnant women, which scared Meihua into giving birth prematurely. Because of this incident, the butcher, who was still single at the time, took advantage of the situation to see the injustice.
Now Meihua has been in the second service area for a long time, and its baby has grown up well here. Because it has a lot of contact with Qingjiao, Meihua has been working hard to learn from Qingjiao.
The black snow wolf is a very brave and powerful wolf species. Qingjiao is a hot mom. Meihua has been influenced by Qingjiao and is now braver. Moreover, wolves hold grudges. Now it yells at Doubao every day. If Doubao passes by the door of its room, it will chase him out and scold him for two hours.
Doubao felt very aggrieved because he was not very familiar with the other animals, so he could only seek support from Mu Ling. Every time he was scolded, he would come over and whimper to Mu Ling to complain.
What could Mu Ling do? She could only help comfort Meihua.
At ten o'clock that evening, Mu Ling sat next to Meihua, browsing the recruitment information, stroking Meihua's hair, and patiently talking to her about things.
As Mu Ling was talking, a wolf cub appeared on her knees.
The fussy wolf cubs clumsily bit Mu Ling's pants. After one climbed up, the others soon followed.
In the end, not only Meihua's cubs, but also Gena's and Geya's cubs came over.
Now the three Wind-Chasing Female Wolves sleep in the same room.
There were too many wolf cubs, and they were just learning to walk, so they loved running around. Mu Ling was a little overwhelmed and simply shouted, "Zongheng!"
Now that there are more wolf cubs in the family, the little wolf in Qingjiao's family can no longer be called little wolf. It will be difficult to distinguish them if it is called that. So Mu Ling asked everyone to call it by its full name. It is time for it to get used to its full name.
Zongheng came running over from the next room with a clattering sound. Looking at it alone, it was still very small, but standing next to the even smaller wolf cubs, it looked much larger.
Mu Ling didn't call Zong Heng over for any particular purpose, it's just that the wolf cubs actually liked Zong Heng more than Mu Ling.
Sure enough, as soon as Zongheng appeared, the wolf cubs immediately changed their target and swarmed towards him like cotton balls.
Zong Heng realized that this was a trap, he yelled at Mu Ling, then turned around and ran away.
The pups tottered after him, just as a pack of wolves follows its leader.
For these wolf cubs, Zongheng is their alpha wolf.
Mu Ling laughed as she watched Zong Heng fleeing. But when she looked up, she saw Xiang Bie standing outside the glass door. She didn't know how long he had been there.
Mu Ling blinked and asked, "Brother Xiang, what are you doing?"
Xiang Bie walked in and sat next to Mu Ling. After a moment of silence, he asked calmly, "Are you still busy?"
Mu Ling said: "Yes, is there anything wrong?"
Xiang Bie pursed his lips: "It's okay, it's just that there are stars tonight."
Mu Ling glanced outside and said, "Really? Then tomorrow should be a sunny day. It seems that the temperature is getting better and better. It feels like the animals in Shanlin Canyon will come out soon..."
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie saw that Mu Ling only cared about these things and didn't care at all about the beautiful night tonight. He was silent for a moment and said, "I have something to tell you."
Mu Ling didn't even raise her head: "Go ahead."
Xiang Bie came closer, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something.
He spoke quickly, stepped away after he finished speaking, and then stood up and said, "You go ahead and do your work."
As he said this he was about to leave.
Mu Ling suddenly stopped, her whole body stiff. Then she grabbed Xiang Bie's sleeve, stood up quickly and said, "Don't be busy anymore. We'll be busy tomorrow. Let's go watch the stars! Let's go on a date!"
Xiang Bie was pulled outside by Mu Ling.
The man sighed.
It seems that I can still learn something from Mr. Longtailed Raccoon.
At least "meow" actually works.
