Chapter 188
The business of the third service area is going very smoothly.
At first, only some fighting beasts came here, but as time went on, other animals gradually came here as well.
The other animals didn't know that this was a school. They just thought it was a big place with many animals, so out of curiosity and a desire to explore, they came over to take a look.
When they first come here and smell the scent of so many lions and tigers, they will be scared, but after getting used to it for a while and finding that these beasts will not attack them, they will be fine.
In fact, in nature, many seemingly unrelated animals live in the same area. This phenomenon is called symbiosis.
For example, monkeys, deer, sheep, and birds often live in the same area and share the resources of this area. When a predator appears and wants to ambush the deer or sheep, the monkeys and birds will scream to attract the attention of the deer and sheep and make them run away quickly.
Vulnerable animals can achieve the goal of helping each other and benefiting each other through such symbiosis. Of course, even if there is no benefit, if I will not be harmed in this area, then I am willing to live here, because not being harmed is also a kind of benefit.
Although there are carnivores and herbivores in the third service area, they are not considered vulnerable animals that help each other. However, because there is no food chain here, no animal will be harmed here. Not being harmed has already reached the standard for coexistence.
As the team in the third service area grew larger and larger, the issue of recruiting teachers became urgent.
Beak Zoo released a lot of recruitment information, but during the recruitment process, Wei Li suddenly found Mu Ling.
"A total of 430 million. I've written in the note that an additional 48,000 will be transferred every month on the first. Director, can we accept this donation? There's no signature on it, and I feel something is amiss."
Mu Ling looked at the transfer slip silently, then smiled.
It seems that there is only a note and no other information, but there is a decimal after 430 million.
The exact amount is 430827917.
August 27th was the day when Mu Ling first came to Beek Zoo last year.
September 17th is the day when the Beek Zoo reopens.
These two dates are very important to Mu Ling. Normal donations would not be so rounded. The other party deliberately included these two dates in the donation amount to tell her who he is.
The only person who could remember these two days so clearly, besides Mu Ling herself, was Brother Xiang.
Mu Ling was still stroking the transfer slip, but Wei Li was already full of conspiracy theories: "They say pie in the sky, it must be a trap. Director, why don't we call the police? What if this is some illegal proceeds and they transfer it to us, and they frame us for money laundering? Director, you're the one in charge, you might end up in jail!"
Mu Ling: “…”
Seeing that Brother Wei had already planned for her to stay in seclusion for a few years and visit her only every few months, Mu Ling quickly stopped talking and said, "It's written here that the money was transferred from the Capital Star. Why don't you ask your Brother Xiang first?"
Wei Li was stunned. "You mean, this money was donated by Brother Xiang? How is that possible? Where did Brother Xiang get so much money? Before he became a marshal, he was just a major. The salary was very low back then. Even after he became a marshal, he didn't hold the position for long. He was lucky to have saved tens of thousands. How could he have more than 400 million? Unless he embezzled it."
Mu Ling glared: "He embezzled money?"
Wei Li was speechless: "No, so this is not donated by Brother Xiang."
Mu Ling frowned and began to think again. She actually thought that the money was transferred by Brother Xiang, but she couldn't explain clearly where Brother Xiang got so much money.
She said, "You say, this isn't a pension? Your brother Xiang is actually dead? Is this a government subsidy?"
Wei Li: “…”
Wei Li felt that the director was really delusional: "What kind of subsidy is this? I don't know whether Brother Xiang is dead or not, but he can't be worth that much money. Whose family died in the line of duty and deserved 400 million? Besides, he has an aunt, so even if there is a subsidy, it won't be enough to cover us."
Mu Ling nodded: "That's right..."
Wei Li said: "Oh, I don't care, I'm going to call the police first!"
-
Chai Yunyue donated the money in the morning and received a call from the bank in the afternoon. In the evening, he came to the president's house with an indifferent look on his face. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the president and Brother Xiang coming out of the study.
"Xiao Chai is here, come and have dinner together."
In the restaurant, Xiang Rou was serving dishes with the servants. When she saw Chai Yunyue coming, she greeted him.
Chai Yunyue looked at his brother Xiang, then handed a document to the president.
The president took the document, put it on the coffee table, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Eat first."
The four of them sat down quickly and the meal was quite lively. Xiang Rou kept picking up food for the two children with a smile on her face. The president occasionally mentioned some official business, but was always stopped by his wife who told him to eat well.
The meal was finished quickly.
Chai Yunyue then found an opportunity and finally pulled Brother Xiang to the balcony to talk.
"I've already donated the money, but they said they can't accept large amounts of unknown funds. They hope we can produce a proof of funds. But Brother Xiang, why don't you give them a call to avoid such trouble."
Xiang Bie was silent, his eyelids drooping slightly. After a while, he said lightly: "Now is not the right time to contact her."
Chai Yunyue wanted to say that it was not necessary, but when the words reached his throat, he swallowed them back.
To be honest, it is best to have no contact at all. Brother Xiang has returned, and his past affairs at the Beek Zoo will be discovered sooner or later. But it doesn’t matter where he was before. The important thing is that there should be no involvement now, otherwise he will really be dragged into the water.
What Brother Xiang is going to do next is bound to offend many people and involves party purges. Once an official is forced into a desperate situation, if he knows that Brother Xiang has a girlfriend on the God King Star, then Principal Mu will definitely be pushed to the forefront.
If there is no contact, even if someone really finds out that Brother Xiang had something going on with Director Mu, at most she is just an ex-girlfriend. They have already broken up anyway, so the impact will be negligible.
Chai Yunyue sighed. "Alright then. I'll ask someone to get proof of funds. What kind of funds are these?"
Xiang Bie said: "Inheritance."
Chai Yunyue: “…”
-
"heritage?"
Mu Ling frowned when she heard what Brother Wei said.
Wei Li nodded. "That's all the bank said. I guess it was an old man who had no children and no use for the money. When he got old and passed away, he donated his estate to our zoo. He must have been a great fan of war beasts. Director, why don't we set up a memorial tablet for him? He didn't sign his name, and we don't know if he's a man or a woman, so let's call him the Four Hundred Million Old Man."
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling didn't say anything, but the word "inheritance" was still on her mind.
What does legacy mean?
If he dies outside, he will give this money to her as an inheritance, right?
Mu Ling's face immediately turned cold.
Where on earth was he going? Is it so dangerous?
I don’t think I’ll really receive the pension in a while!
"Director, Director, should we erect the tablet?"
Mu Ling came back to her senses and said sternly, "Erect, erect a longevity tablet and pray for him!"
Wei Li was stunned. He thought, isn't this already a legacy? The person is gone, why are we still praying for blessings? But then he thought again, they really don't know whether the person is gone or not, so Li Changsheng is indeed better.
Wei Li said, "Okay, I'll go make the arrangements. I'll install the immortality tablet next to the God of Wealth on the first floor of our office building."
Wei Li was very efficient and the spirit tablet was installed the next day.
That afternoon, Mu Ling filmed the memorial tablet in her video, explaining that this was an elderly man who had donated his inheritance to their zoo, and they were commemorating him there.
Chai Yunyue, who happened to see this video, said: "Puff——"
A large amount of water spurted out of his mouth.
Xiang Bie on the opposite side looked at him with disgust and took out a tissue and gave it to him.
Chai Yunyue wiped it with a tissue and turned his laptop to Brother Xiang: "They've established an immortality statue for you! They wish you a long life!"
Xiang Bie glanced at it and said indifferently: "Well, I will try my best to live a hundred years."
Chai Yunyue said: "They call you the Four Hundred Million Old Man."
"Oh." Xiang Bie said calmly, "Everyone gets old one day."
"Brother Xiang, you donated 400 million, and they don't even know who you are. Are you willing to accept that?"
Xiang Bie glanced at Chai Yunyue: "She knows."
Chai Yunyue poked the naked head into Xiang Ge's eyes: "She doesn't know, she's still talking about it, thank you, old man!"
Xiang Bie waved away the laptop and said firmly, "She knows."
Chai Yunyue looked at Brother Xiang suspiciously. After a while, he finally fell silent and stopped talking.
Brother Xiang is so pitiful. He can only live like this by deceiving himself.
-
Four hundred and thirty million yuan can do a lot of things, but Mu Ling didn't touch a penny of it. She didn't use it to pay off previous debts, nor did she use it to start any new projects. She just kept the money here.
After waiting for a week, she still didn't get any contact from Brother Xiang, but life had to go on.
Mu Ling became busy again, and at the same time, in Qiu Feng Laboratory.
The assistant lab technician hurried to the dean's office, knocked on the door, and handed a copy of the latest test data to their dean Qi.
Two days later, 877 stars.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Bai Huanqiu was doing rehabilitation with the help of a nurse. Suddenly, the sound of a door opening was heard outside.
She looked outside the door and saw an old man in a dark windbreaker and carrying a simple suitcase walking in with a smile.
Bai Huanqiu is a few years older than Qi Fenghao. Her hair has turned gray now, but Qi Fenghao may have done too much mental work, so his hair is even whiter than hers, and not a single black hair can be seen.
Looking at her husband whom she hadn't seen for several months, Bai Huanqiu asked, "Why did you come back today?"
Qi Fenghao changed his shoes, hung his coat on the hanger, and said gently, "You should have a follow-up check."
After saying that, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
After washing his hands, he walked to the rehabilitation area and took Bai Huanqiu's hand from the nurse.
The nurse obviously knew the man and stepped aside with a smile.
Qi Fenghao supported Bai Huanqiu as they walked slowly. After walking for a while, Bai Huanqiu glanced at the nurse and said, "You should leave work first."
The nurse took the things and left.
After everyone left, Bai Huanqiu looked at Qi Fenghao and asked, "Did Mu Ling get into trouble?"
Qi Feng said nothing.
Bai Huanqiu said, "I don't know you yet. If nothing happened, you wouldn't rush back without even saying hello. Tell me, what happened?"
Qi Fenghao was silent for a while, then helped Bai Huanqiu sit on the wheelchair, pushed her to the sofa, and carried her onto the sofa. Then he opened the suitcase, took out several test results and handed them to her.
Bai Huanqiu stared at the pile of heavenly books and slowly looked at Qi Fenghao.
Qi Fenghao smiled, picked up the first report, turned to the last page, and said, "This is Xiang Yuanren's latest blood test report. It shows that the mutant virus in his body has been completely eliminated."
Bai Huanqiu was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's great."
Qi Fenghao showed her another report: "This is Mu Ling's latest blood report. After six months in Beak Zoo, her physical condition has improved by leaps and bounds."
Bai Huanqiu became nervous: "What do you mean?"
"The virus will mutate, and her physique is also mutating."
Bai Huanqiu frowned: "Mutation? Will it be harmful to her?"
Qi Fenghao took out another document.
Bai Huanqiu took the document away and said, "Just tell me, I don't understand."
Qi Fenghao said: "I'm not sure if it will be harmful to her body. If we want to know, we need to find her biological parents."
Bai Huanqiu's face turned grim.
Qi Fenghao said, "When she was little, she would grow scales and horns whenever her emotions changed, but as she grew older, she stopped growing scales and horns. After she went to the Piccolo Zoo, she became less and less likely to do so. You saw the live broadcast on Nibra Star, and you saw how the fighting beasts who met her for the first time liked her so much. Is this normal? Her body is constantly changing. Is she adapting to different environments? Or is there a potential risk of disease? We can only know if we find her biological parents and see how they are doing now."
Bai Huanqiu felt a headache. "I've looked for her, but I can't find her. She was first discovered in that forest by that Night Shadow Bear. For so many years, there has been no news of her biological parents."
Qi Fenghao held Bai Huanqiu's hand and said, "Even if we can't find her, we have to look for her. Her genes must have been passed down from someone. There must be at least one other person in this world who is just like her. We need to know whether that person is dead or alive."
Bai Huanqiu was quiet for a moment, then nodded: "I'll try again."
