"What are these monkeys doing? Why are they fighting amongst themselves?"
"This is interesting, a new monkey king suddenly appeared."
"So monkeys can stage coups too."
"Speaking of which, isn't this new monkey king the little gray one that was always bullied before? Is it that brave now?"
"They're fighting, they're fighting!"
Inside the administrator's office, a group of city zoo employees watched the scene with excitement.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
When they opened the office door, they found a young man holding a dog standing outside.
"Huh? You're Director Yang from Xihong Zoo!"
With just one glance, everyone present recognized Yang Lin's identity.
"Director Yang, quickly come in and sit down. We were just talking about you."
"Yes, you're our idol now."
Looking at everyone's enthusiastic reaction, Yang Lin felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he had played a crucial role in the city zoo's swift downfall.
"You don't blame me, do you?"
Yang Lin asked with a hint of awkwardness.
Upon hearing his words, everyone was stunned for a moment, then their expressions turned calm.
"Director Yang, you're overthinking it. Even without Xihong Zoo's appearance, the city zoo wouldn't be doing well right now."
"Now that it's closed down, we've received a substantial amount of compensation. It's fantastic."
"That's right. We were almost unable to get paid before, and now we've received several years' worth of salary."
"The only regret is that we can't continue to be with the animals."
"Yes, after spending so much time together, they're like our children."
As they spoke, a look of regret appeared on the faces of these city zoo employees.
Seeing this, Yang Lin's mind began to churn.
Given the current situation, Xihong Zoo's scale of operations would only continue to grow.
As the number of animals increased, so would the number of staff.
He had originally planned to recruit people with zoo experience from the public.
Now, it seemed he wouldn't need to go through all that trouble.
With this thought, Yang Lin cautiously inquired.
"Have you considered working at other zoos in this line of work?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the room turned to him.
A clear hint of anticipation could be seen in their gazes.
"Director Yang, do you mean you want to invite us to join?"
"Can we?"
Seeing their expectant eyes, Yang Lin's face broke into a smile.
"What's not to like? If you're willing to come, Xihong Zoo welcomes you anytime."
"Regarding salary and benefits, I can offer you the same standards as before."
"Really? If that's the case, that would be wonderful."
"After working in this industry for so many years, I don't know what I would do if I stopped. Now, it's all good."
"Director Yang, I was previously responsible for the feeding of fierce beasts. I can handle lions and tigers."
"I was in charge of the aviary. I know the living habits of all birds."
"I was responsible for breeding..."
"I was responsible for procurement...."
As everyone in the room stated their previous responsibilities, Yang Lin's smile grew even wider.
He had initially intended to just pick up some animals, but he ended up solving his staffing issues as well.
With this group of experienced employees, his Xihong Zoo would finally feel like a proper zoo.
He immediately reached a verbal agreement with them.
In a few days, after the city zoo completed its shutdown procedures, they would report to Xihong Zoo.
As he was filled with joy, he soon received an even bigger surprise.
"Director Nie, are you saying I can move all the facilities from the city zoo to Xihong Zoo?"
"Yes, you can move them."
"Can the cages be moved too? Can I dismantle the materials directly from the enclosures?"
"No, that's a pity."
"Can the aquarium equipment be moved? I was just planning to transfer those dolphins from the aquarium to Xihong Zoo."
"I just want to give those animals a more comfortable home."
Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Yang Lin felt as if he had been struck by a meteor of fortune.
In a zoo, the most expensive items besides the animals are the facilities.
The cost of these facilities could be more than building an entire zoo.
He had expected to gradually acquire them himself in the future, but now it seemed unnecessary.
The collapse of the city zoo had directly equipped him with everything.
Animals, staff, and facilities.
He was grateful for nature's bounty.
As Yang Lin marveled at his incredible luck, everyone in the office turned their attention to the surveillance screen.
On the screen, the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey had successfully defeated the old monkey king and knocked him to the ground.
With the old monkey king defeated, the entire troop immediately submitted to the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey.
However, before they could react to this turn of events, they witnessed a scene that filled them with dread.
Led by the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey king, hundreds of monkeys surged towards their location, their auras menacing.
"Whoa, what do these monkeys want? Are they trying to take us down?"
"It's over, the entertainment has reached us."
"Should we call the police?"
"Call the police for what? We have an animal police officer right here."
Everyone's gaze simultaneously fell upon Li Goudan, who was squatting beside Yang Lin.
Under their stares, Li Goudan quickly retracted his tongue and puffed out his chest, as if to say, "If there's a problem, come to me."
However, to their surprise, Yang Lin remained completely calm upon learning of the monkey troop's renewed riot.
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of the employees, he opened the office door and walked directly outside.
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Hundreds of rioting monkeys were not a laughing matter.
"Director Yang, be careful!"
"Quick, come inside! Let's call the police and wait for them to handle it."
"Don't be impulsive!"
In the entire zoo, a troop of rioting monkeys could be more threatening than lions or tigers.
As everyone desperately tried to dissuade him, various types of monkeys, led by the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey king, appeared in their sight.
With their current momentum, even fierce beasts like lions and tigers would have to retreat.
Everyone could already picture Yang Lin being pummeled by the monkey troop.
However, what they never expected was that when the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey king was about ten meters away from Yang Lin, it suddenly stopped.
The next moment, it performed an action that made everyone's jaws drop.
