Although Yang Lin already knew that Yaya was successfully pregnant, he couldn't announce the news immediately.
After all, he couldn't claim to be proficient in fortune-telling.
He had no choice but to stay in Mingkun City for two more days.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of his arrival in Mingkun, and the fifth day since he left Guangxi.
On the morning of the fifth day, Director Song found him with great excitement.
"Director Yang, I have good news for you. We just tested Yaya and found that she is successfully pregnant."
"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Director Yang, you've really worked hard this time?"
Hearing Director Song's words, Yang Lin smiled slightly at first, but then something felt wrong.
"Hmm? What do you mean 'worked hard'? Why does that sound so awkward?"
Before he could speak, Director Song continued:
"These past two days, because of Tuan Tuan, the overall visitor traffic of the zoo has also steadily increased. Tuan Tuan is truly a lucky star for our zoo."
"So, why don't you and Tuan Tuan stay in Mingkun for a longer period?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lin immediately shook his head.
He himself didn't care, but the key was that every day he went to see Tuan Tuan these past two days, Tuan Tuan's every word was about returning to Ningnan.
It felt as if Tuan Tuan was in prison, which made Yang Lin feel somewhat guilty.
If they stayed any longer, Tuan Tuan might try to escape.
"Director Song, thank you for your hospitality these past few days, but I've already been away from Ningnan for long enough. If I don't go back soon, I'm worried about problems with the zoo's operations."
"So, I'd like to go back today. Since Yaya's pregnancy is successful, Tuan Tuan can also retire with honor."
"Go back today? That's so sudden?"
Hearing Yang Lin's words abruptly, Director Song's face showed a hint of surprise.
"Yes, and the weather today is quite good, very suitable for taking those animals back."
Seeing that Yang Lin was determined to go back, Director Song couldn't stop him any further and had to agree.
"Since Director Yang is returning today, I'll go and contact the transport team to load the animals as soon as possible."
"I'm relieved that Director Yang will personally take them back."
"That would be too much trouble. I'm sorry to trouble Director Song to help arrange the transportation."
After some conversation, the two immediately began to prepare for the handover of the animals.
As previously agreed, Diannan Zoo would hand over a total of 80 large animals to Xihong Zoo.
These included lions, tigers, brown bears, black bears, Asian elephants, hippos, black panthers, and more than ten different species.
This also included the lioness and the golden retriever puppy she had given birth to.
With so many animals, in addition to the large truck Yang Lin had driven himself, Diannan Zoo also arranged fifteen large trucks of the same size.
Only then were these animals barely loaded.
When these large trucks carrying animals appeared at the entrance of Diannan Zoo, they immediately attracted a large crowd of tourists. Some local television stations and media outlets, who had received the news in advance, were already waiting there.
Many tourists even started live streaming.
Such a spectacular scene soon attracted a large audience of netizens, and among these viewers, there were clearly many who had seen the scene when Yang Lin departed from Ningnan before.
"I have to say, Director Yang is amazing. He left with one panda, and now he's leaving with such a large convoy."
"Started with one panda, and now you can open a zoo when you go back."
"Director Yang is a tough person."
"The directors of other zoos are already trembling."
"Hahaha, that's hilarious. Who can withstand Director Yang's 'plucking'? It's only the well-established Diannan Zoo."
"Director Song hasn't appeared. I wonder if he's already cried himself to sleep."
"Don't slander Director Yang. I heard from internal sources that these were all given to Director Yang by Director Song voluntarily, representing the friendship between the two cities."
"Are you Director Yang's alt account?"
"Exactly, who would believe that?"
"Director Yang is really not polite, picking only the big ones."
"Taking back the local specialties so quickly?"
"What do you guys know? Diannan Zoo just announced that Yaya is pregnant. These are exchanged for the panda cub in her belly."
"Ningnan people are overjoyed, with so many more animals all at once."
"Thank you to the people of Diannan for your gift. When you have a chance, come to Ningnan and we'll treat you to Laoyou noodles."
"Guangxi and Diannan will always be friends. Next time, we'll definitely let Director Yang visit again."
"Hospitable Diannan welcomes you."
....
Undoubtedly, the netizens of Ningnan who saw this scene were bursting with laughter.
However, the netizens of Diannan were all grinding their teeth with anger, wishing they could blacklist Yang Lin from visiting Diannan.
Of course, this was just a joke.
In fact, when Yang Lin left with those animals, the citizens of Diannan were very friendly.
At least, that's how Yang Lin saw it.
As his large truck slowly started, citizens kept throwing things into the truck.
Their enthusiasm was even greater than when he left Ningnan.
Before long, the truck bed was piled high with all sorts of food.
Bananas, apples, dragon fruit, peaches, cantaloupes, watermelons, durians, tomatoes, cabbage leaves, eggs.
"See that, Tuan Tuan? This is the love of the citizens of Mingkun for you."
"Hey, you little fatty over there, don't throw things at my windshield!"
Amidst the warm send-off from the people of Diannan, Yang Lin soon led the convoy onto the highway.
If nothing unexpected happened, the convoy would successfully reach Ningnan before dark.
Perhaps because Yang Lin had already gone through his ordeal on the way there, the return journey was exceptionally smooth.
It only took a little over six hours for the convoy to enter the area of Ningnan City.
When the convoy appeared within the borders of Ningnan City, police cars had already been waiting there.
Clearly, the Ningnan city authorities had received relevant information in advance and had made preparations for their arrival.
However, when Yang Lin saw this scene, his face twitched a few times.
With such a grand display, one might think they were there to arrest him.
As he slowed down, the police cars spontaneously cleared the way on both sides.
At the same time, a large number of Ningnan citizens appeared on both sides of the road.
When these Ningnan citizens saw Yang Lin and the convoy behind him, they immediately erupted in cheers.
Seeing this, Yang Lin's heart warmed.
"It seems my hometown folks really care about me, knowing to come and welcome me in advance."
But as soon as this thought crossed his mind, banners were unfurled by the crowd.
【Welcome Tuan Tuan Home!】
【Welcome the animals from Diannan to settle in Ningnan!】
【Ningnan Welcomes You!】
【Friendship Between Diannan and Guangxi Endures】
......
In addition to these banners, there were posters of the animals.
Seeing this, Yang Lin had only one thought.
"Ultimately, I was mistaken."
But in the next second, a giant poster featuring him and those police officers in a group photo appeared on the side of the road.
Accompanying it was a caption: "Director Yang, keep up the good work and strive for greater glory."
ps: I'll be busy for the next two weeks. Winter break is coming soon.
That's all for today's update. Goodnight, my darlings.
