The couple's shock at seeing the once-bankrupt Xihong Zoo develop into its current state had yet to subside.
To give their parents a clear understanding of the current zoo, Yang Lin took them on a complete tour of the grounds.
During this process, he could hear their exclamations of amazement every few minutes.
"Is this a ladybug, and how did it get so big?"
"Is that the old lion from before?"
"Pandas! We have pandas in our zoo!"
"Black bears, so many black bears."
"My heavens, is that a wolf or a dog?"
"Shh, keep it down, Old Yang. The tourists nearby are laughing at us."
"Okay, okay."
...
After visiting all the animals, Yang Dad and Yang Mom sighed again.
"When we visited the San Diego Zoo in the beautiful country, we thought it was the best zoo in the world."
"But now, compared to our zoo, the San Diego Zoo doesn't seem to count for anything."
"I still remember you grabbed a tiger during your first birthday celebration. It seems fate has destined you to be connected with animals your whole life."
As they spoke, a look of relief appeared on their faces.
Beyond that, they didn't ask any further questions.
Such as why the zoo animals had become the way they were.
On this matter, they chose to unconditionally trust their son.
Yang Lin let out a long sigh of relief.
"Alright, Dad and Mom, you've seen the zoo. Now I'll take you back to rest."
"When I have time, I'll take you to look at houses. The old house is a bit noisy now and not suitable for you."
"Sure, we'll do as you say."
...
After escorting Yang Dad and Yang Mom back to the old house within the park, Yang Lin immediately summoned the key personnel of the zoo.
As the heads of each department reported on the situation over the past two months, Yang Lin gained a new understanding of the changes at Xihong Zoo during this period.
In summary, there were several key points.
The first was that the park train officially began operation a week ago, solving the problem of the park being too large and difficult to navigate.
The second was that over the past two months, more than 60 animal cubs had been born in the park, including two precious finless porpoise calves, with a survival rate of still one hundred percent.
The third was that the basic construction progress of two in-construction park areas had reached seventy percent, with expectations of full completion and operation before National Day.
The fourth was that the Guilin branch park had completed its renovation and achieved an revenue of 5 million last month. The "Tiger Release" plan had also proceeded very smoothly, with 300 tigers released into forests across the country, generating a cumulative rental income of 200 million.
The fifth was that the construction of Dolphin Island had been fully completed and would officially open to tourists nationwide on April 28th, with an opening ceremony to be held on the island.
The sixth was that "Little Tiger Returns Home" had achieved a cumulative box office of 2 billion within two months of its release, with a current rating of a staggering 9.8 on a certain review website.
Upon hearing the reports on these six points, Yang Lin could no longer suppress his smile.
These six points were, in a sense, all within his expectations, but the final results carried a hint of the unexpected.
He hadn't expected the park renovation to progress so quickly, nor had he anticipated that the documentary "Little Tiger Returns Home" would gross 2 billion at the box office.
In addition to these six points that brought him immense joy, there were other developments and changes within the park that also delighted him.
In short, Xihong Zoo was developing in a better direction.
After slightly steadying his emotions, Yang Lin continued:
"In the next phase, our work focus will be on preparing for the transition from the old park's operational model to the new park's operational model."
"At that time, Xihong Zoo will undoubtedly undergo earth-shattering changes again. Everyone must be prepared for this transformation."
"I believe that by then, Xihong Zoo will become the greatest zoo on the entire Blue Star."
"Additionally, the animals I brought from the Arctic will arrive tomorrow. Please make all the necessary preliminary preparations..."
Before Yang Lin could finish speaking, a zookeeper rushed in breathlessly.
"Dr. Wang, is Dr. Wang here? That pregnant Asian elephant seems to be going into premature labor."
The zookeeper's sudden shout instantly drew the attention of everyone in the meeting room, including Yang Lin.
"Premature labor? If I recall correctly, that Asian elephant was only a year pregnant when she was brought here. It's only been a year and four months."
Before Yang Lin could speak, the head of the veterinary hospital, responsible for animal medical treatment, stood up with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, elephants are generally pregnant for 18 to 22 months. This seems too early for premature labor."
"Could it be a miscarriage?"
"Don't talk nonsense. When has Xihong Zoo ever had a case of animal miscarriage?"
"That's true."
.....
Listening to the discussions, Yang Lin's gaze was slightly different.
A vague suspicion arose in his heart.
"Could that Imperial Mammoth fetus have just been reborn into that mother elephant's womb, causing the premature labor?"
The more he thought about it, the more Yang Lin felt this possibility.
He immediately lost interest in the meeting and said to Dr. Wang, who was beside him:
"Dr. Wang, I'll go with you to take a look."
Upon hearing Yang Lin's words, Dr. Wang's eyes lit up.
When it came to assisting animals in childbirth, Yang Lin's reputation within the entire zoo community was quite renowned.
His exquisite veterinary skills were well-known in the veterinary circles.
With him present, the pregnant elephant would likely be out of any danger.
Led by the elephant keeper, Yang Lin and several veterinarians soon arrived under a large tree in a free-range area.
Before they got close, he saw a mother elephant lying there in pain.
Not far from her, a large group of worried tourists were observing.
It was they who had first noticed the elephant's abnormality and reported it to the keepers.
In their interactions with the animals at Xihong Zoo, these tourists had long since come to regard the animals as their friends.
"Director Yang is here! That's great."
"Yes, this elephant will be saved now."
"Seeing Director Yang, I feel relieved. This elephant will surely have a smooth delivery."
"That's strange. All the animal births at Xihong Zoo have been very smooth recently. Why is this elephant suddenly having difficulty giving birth?"
"It doesn't matter, with Director Yang here, there will be no accidents."
As the tourists rejoiced at Yang Lin's arrival, Yang Lin also stepped forward to examine the elephant's condition.
When he used his "Insight Eye," his eyes immediately lit up.
In the two talent panels before him, one was distinctly different.
