In Heshi in early December, the wind was biting and the whole city was shrouded in white mist, making it oppressive and dull.

Just like Qian Lai's mood at the moment.

She sat on the side of the road in frustration with her head hanging down, speechless.

What happened today is echoing in my mind——

"Uncle Nian, please, please don't close the zoo. You know how much my dad cares about it..."

"Xiao Lai, it's not that Uncle Nian doesn't want to help you, he really can't help you. Besides, it's not me who wants to close the zoo. It was decided by the bureau at a meeting. There's nothing I can do about it!"

"Uncle Nian, no one else knows what my dad has done for the zoo, but you know it very well. The zoo has been his hard work for more than 20 years. You can't do this to him..."

"We don't want to do this to him! But look at how dismal the zoo's current performance is. Is the daily turnover enough to feed the animals? I'm afraid it's not enough. So you think it's necessary to continue operating.

?"

"Tangyuan is pregnant, and there are triplets. When it gives birth to babies, it will definitely attract a lot of tourists——"

"Xiao Lai! There are giant pandas in every zoo now. Although they are called national treasures, they are not as rare as you think. It's probably a bit fanciful for you to rely on this to bring the zoo back to life!"

"Uncle Nian..."

"Three months! I will give you three more months at most! If the zoo's performance still does not improve after three months...just close it!!"

This is the conversation she had with the director of the Garden Bureau.

The scene in my mind changed——

"Xiaohui, I want to ask you for help with something..."

"Help? What help?"

"I heard that your school is organizing an outing next month?"

"Yes."

"Have you confirmed the place? Can you change it to a one-day trip to our zoo? I can give you the lowest discount on the ticket price~"

"Zoo? Oh my god~ Qian Lai, not to mention the shabby facilities of your zoo, you haven't introduced any new species for how many years. Just tell me what's so interesting about those shabby monkeys?"

"Most of the monkeys in our park are golden monkeys, which are national first-class protected animals. There are also other animals in the park, such as tigers, lions, peacocks and so on! Ah yes! There are also pandas.

Well, our glutinous rice balls are so cute, the children will definitely like them!"

"What's so strange about pandas? Which zoo doesn't have pandas in it now? The children have long been tired of seeing them, okay! Qian Lai, we are classmates, I will definitely help where I can, but I can't help here.

I can't help it because I'm busy. You see, I'm just an ordinary teacher. I don't have a say in such decisions in the school, right?"

"Xiaohui, the principal of your elementary school is your future father-in-law. How can you not have the right to speak? Just give me a suggestion..."

"What suggestion! If I just tell my father-in-law, he will definitely betray me, but why should I say it, right? To put it bluntly, our relationship has not reached that level yet.

"

"No, Xiaohui, I have calculated that the cost of your outing is much more expensive than going to our zoo. If we cooperate, it will be a win-win situation and it can save your school a lot of money.
