The pine tree perched on a branch was startled and hurriedly darted to a higher branch—
But its round body was too heavy, and its little paws slipped, causing the squirrel to roll off the tree like a fluffy ball!
"Oh dear!" Xia Zhining exclaimed and quickly reached out to catch it.
Fortunately, Song Baobao's big tail came in handy at the crucial moment. It nimbly curled up in the air, like a parachute, slowing down the descent.
Finally, with a "plop," it landed safely in the soft bushes below, with only its dizzy little head sticking out.
[Scared the squirrel to death...]
Song Baobao patted his chest, still shaken.
[It almost turned into a squirrel cookie.]
Xia Zhining was also startled, "Baobao, you need to learn how to lose weight from Little Fatty Bat!"
Fortunately, squirrels have large tails that help them maintain balance and adjust direction when jumping.
In critical moments, the parachute can slow down the descent, and it can also be used as a blanket when it's cold.
Looking at the bustling park, Xia Zhining felt a warm glow in her heart.
As she packed her luggage, she announced to the animals all over the park:
"Alright, alright, everyone get ready. We're going to Beijing on a business trip in a couple of days! I'll show you around!"
"Meet other outstanding police elites!"
Three days later, Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun arrived in Beijing safely.
The animals were escorted by special personnel and vehicles before arriving at their destination.
The organizers of this conference were very thoughtful, and specially prepared a luxury suite for the animals next to Xia Zhining's suite, allowing the little guys to experience VIP treatment.
After settling in, Xia Zhining's first task was to head straight to the Beijing Zoo, where she happily checked in at the giant pandas she had been longing to see.
While she was having her meal at the park's restaurant, an uninvited guest quietly appeared—
Xia Annian, the third son of the Xia family and Xia Zhuangya's younger brother, came uninvited and went straight to her table.
"It's really not easy to meet with Expert Xia."
Xia Annian spoke with a deliberately familiar tone, and then sat down in the seat opposite her.
However, as soon as he moved, the guard standing tall like a pine tree stepped forward and deftly blocked him, keeping him at a safe distance.
Caught off guard, Xia Annian stared in astonishment at the well-trained guard, then looked at Xia Zhining, her tone filled with disbelief: "Zhining, you really are... you even have a private bodyguard now?"
Xia Zhining slowly put down her chopsticks, looked up at him, and said in a cold gaze, "Mr. Xia, get to the point."
Xia Annian was taken aback by her distant "Mr. Xia," and forced a slightly stiff smile: "Look at what you're saying, just call me Third Uncle, don't be so formal."
"There's no need to try to build connections."
Xia Zhining glanced at Xia Annian and had already guessed the purpose of his visit: "We're not that close."
Xia Annian was taken aback by her blunt attitude and was puzzled.
I don’t seem to have any direct conflict with Xia Zhining, so where does this strong hostility come from?
He suppressed his displeasure and put on a sincere expression: "Zhi Ning, you've misunderstood. I didn't come here to cause you any trouble."
“I’m not like Xia Cheng, who doesn’t know what’s good for him.”
He then offered his carefully prepared terms: "We are willing to establish an independent subsidiary for you, with you holding a 51% controlling stake."
"We will do everything we can to create an exclusive animal variety show for you, develop an IP character, and even launch a series of comics—all resources will be directed towards you."
"What are the conditions?" Xia Zhining asked bluntly, her tone indifferent.
