"Cousin, is this the zoo your uncle left you?"
"It looks much better than I imagined, and I heard your zoo has become an internet sensation now."
As soon as they entered the park, Chen Kexin's face lit up with excitement.
"Where are the other employees? I want to meet my new colleagues."
Hearing Chen Kexin's eager words, Yang Lin couldn't help but feel a hint of embarrassment.
"Didn't you just meet the other employees?"
"Ah? Are you talking about those little dogs?"
"Exactly! Our zoo only has three positions: Director, Ticket Seller, and Security Captain. You are now the ticket seller and financial officer of our Xihong Zoo."
As he said this, Yang Lin's expression turned serious.
Chen Kexin, on the other hand, had a glint in her eyes.
"I have to be the financial officer too? That means more money."
"And I'm your cousin, so that means even more money. I won't ask for too much, just an extra 1000 yuan a month."
"1000! Do you know the average salary for fresh graduates in Ningnan? It's at most 3000 yuan. I'm paying you 4000 because you're my cousin."
Yang Lin immediately refused sternly.
"Of course, your cousin isn't that stingy. I'll give you an extra 800 in performance bonuses, which you'll get in full if you work well."
"Deal!"
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, Chen Kexin readily agreed.
"Very good. Since you've agreed, you are now an official employee of our Xihong Zoo."
"Let's go, Cousin will take you to eat employee meals!"
With a wave of his hand, Yang Lin led Chen Kexin towards his manager's office.
Soon, a large pot of steaming instant noodles was served.
Looking at the full pot of noodles in front of her, Chen Kexin, who had been full of anticipation, was dumbfounded.
"Cousin, what kind of animal eats instant noodles?"
"Who said we were feeding this to animals? This is for us to eat."
As he spoke, Yang Lin served himself a bowl and began to eat heartily.
By the time the two siblings had finished their breakfast, it was already eight o'clock.
As the number of tourists outside the zoo entrance grew, forming a long queue,
Despite this, the tourists outside did not seem impatient. Instead, they were all enthusiastically watching the morning training of the Paw Patrol through the fences.
Every time Li Goudan completed a training exercise with the group of dogs, the tourists outside would burst into laughter.
Occasionally, someone would applaud and cheer.
"Good thing we came early. I didn't expect this zoo to have a hidden show."
"I'm dying of laughter. Who knows if this is really the zoo's security training or a deliberately arranged animal show."
"This is actually the first time I've seen dogs in a zoo."
"What animals? They're employees of the zoo."
"They must be getting dozens of pounds of dog food as salary every month."
"Move aside, you're blocking my shot."
"So cute, these puppies."
"If this gets posted online, it'll definitely go viral."
"No need to say that. It's not 'if', it already has. I just saw a video of the Paw Patrol with over a million likes."
...
As the tourists were enthusiastically enjoying the Paw Patrol's training, Yang Lin led Chen Kexin to her workstation.
Li Goudan, who was leading the training, immediately saluted Yang Lin when he saw him approach.
"Director, the Paw Patrol's morning training has been completed. Please instruct!"
Hearing Li Goudan's voice, Yang Lin looked at the dogs behind him.
After training, the previously listless stray dogs now looked like different dogs. They were all spirited, and their demeanor was vastly different from before.
Even Li Gousheng, the husky who used to look silly, was no longer foolish.
"Very good. Now you and the Paw Patrol will patrol the park. Report to me immediately if you find any problems."
"Roger!"
With a bark from Li Goudan, the entire Paw Patrol, led by him, darted into the park.
Seeing this, the tourists outside cheered again, and even Chen Kexin's eyes sparkled.
"Cousin, when did you get so good at training dogs? You're even more professional than a professional dog trainer."
"And why do I feel like they can understand what you're saying?"
"Don't be silly, child. How could your cousin talk to dogs? It's just a little bit of persistence and effort."
"Alright, it's time to let the tourists in. Go and check the tickets."
As he spoke, Yang Lin walked to the zoo entrance and opened the gate.
Seeing this, the tourists outside rushed forward.
The scene instantly became lively.
Compared to the first day, the number of tourists on the second day had clearly seen a new increase.
As soon as the park opened, hundreds of tourists entered.
And these tourists, upon entering the park, immediately headed for the orangutan enclosure at the outermost perimeter.
"Where is Shidifu? We want to see Shidifu."
"Are you carrying an umbrella? How dare you approach Shidifu."
"Isn't that obvious? Would I dare get close without an umbrella? I've seen the videos online. One tourist was even fed a mouth full of poop."
"Shidifu isn't that good either. I saw that later he was only throwing sod."
"What do you know? This is called 'fate has run out.' He's not a perpetual motion machine, where would he get so much poop?"
"What's so great about Shidifu? I prefer MJ. The Space Ape."
"Exactly, MJ's talent is more impressive. That orangutan that only throws poop is simply pathetic."
"What do you know? Brother Ge worked so hard. Do you know how hard he trained for this skill?"
"The orangutan party is disgusting. The Space Ape is more civilized. Ape Brother yyds."
...
Unconsciously, the tourists had voluntarily divided into two factions.
Some supported the chimpanzee Li Wei, while others liked the gibbon Li Qiang.
Of course, in their minds, only these two animals were worth mentioning in this dilapidated zoo.
As for the other animals, after reading some rumors online, they had no interest.
And just as all the tourists were crowding around the orangutan and monkey enclosures, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from deep within the park.
As the roar spread, the chattering tourists immediately fell silent.
Although they couldn't immediately identify the animal making the sound, they felt a primal fear emanating from the roar.
Instantly, everyone's hair stood on end.
