Chapter 160: Yuan Yuan: Two Bear Slaps!

Chapter 160: Yuan Yuan: Two Bear Slaps!

Time passed.

With the traffic police department's efforts, the traffic jam in You City finally cleared up, and the two pandas were smoothly delivered to the entrance of Linyuan Farm's office center.

The arrival of the two little ones drew the attention of all the employees, who rushed out to see them.

Zhang Lin, upon receiving the news, came out immediately. Seeing Zhao Han and Liu Xian who had arrived with the vehicle, he greeted them, "Director Zhao, Director Liu!"

"Mr. Zhang, you've heard the news, right?" Zhao Han sighed.

"Yeah, so many people posted videos online. The situation is already heating up," Zhang Lin said, sighing as well.

Honestly, he really didn't want this to happen.

Unfortunately, it had already happened. The combination of the bear cubs, pandas, and Linyuan Farm's popularity would soon spread across the entire network.

Worse still, with the heat, provincial leaders would likely get involved, and there was a high chance that the provincial zoo, You City, and Linyuan Farm would all face scrutiny.

For example, if Linyuan Farm's activities were poorly planned, or if the farm's traffic couldn't meet current operational needs, they might receive a notice to widen the roads.

"It's my fault for not coordinating well with the provincial zoo," Liu Shan sighed, taking the blame on himself.

Zhao Han hurriedly said, "Director Liu, you can't take all the blame. The provincial zoo should have known the pandas' habits and taken proper precautions, instead of letting so many people get close and allowing the bear cubs to cause trouble."

"I'm worried the provincial zoo will blame the traffic jam in You City, use it as an excuse to say our facilities are inadequate, and then try to take the pandas back. While such a move would be despicable, they might actually do it," Liu Xian added.

"Director Zhao, watch this video," Zhang Lin said, immediately pulling out his phone and sending a video to Zhao Han.

It was the video Liu qian had taken, clearly showing that the provincial zoo staff had taken no precautions and remained indifferent even when problems arose, despite Lin Muxue's warnings.

After watching the video, Zhao Han's face lit up with a smile. "Mr. Zhang, you actually recorded this video. That's great. We were worried that everyone would be blamed, but now the responsibility can be shifted. Our punishment can be lighter."

Seeing the video, Zhao Han and Liu Xian quickly left the farm.

At this, Zhang Lin knew the outcome: This incident was purely due to the provincial zoo's transportation staff not following standard procedures, leading to an accident!

You City didn't want to take the blame, and neither did the provincial zoo. They would likely try to shift the blame to You City's traffic jam. However, with this video, the provincial zoo would have no way to shift the blame.

But they wouldn't want this video to be released, as it would damage their reputation.

Moreover, the higher-ups wouldn't want a public feud between You City and the provincial zoo, as that would be politically incorrect.

Thus, the transportation staff would take the blame, ensuring a perfect resolution.

After the two deputy directors of the tourism bureau left, Zhang Lin had Ye Ling and the security guards unload the pandas along with their cages onto a cart and push them to Yuan Yuan's temporary residence. They soon arrived at Yuan Yuan's living area.

Yuan Yuan, who now spends most of his time eating tender bamboo shoots and taking part in promotional activities for a few hours a day, was drawn by the commotion outside.

Ye Ling placed one of the cages at the door and opened it, trying to coax the panda inside to come out.

However, the panda inside seemed too scared to come out, no matter how much they tried to coax it.

Lin Muxue and the other girls, along with the veterinarian Tang Wan, tried various methods, but to no avail.

"They're showing signs of stress due to the unfamiliar environment," Tang Wan concluded.

This left everyone at a loss.

At this moment, Yuan Yuan walked over to the cage, peered inside, and seemed to understand the situation.

He then half-climbed into the cage and gave the panda inside two gentle slaps, followed by a few calls.

To everyone's surprise, the panda inside quickly emerged from the cage and followed Yuan Yuan obediently.

Everyone looked at each other in amazement.

Zhang Lin chuckled, "Haha, that's good. It seems Yuan Yuan has already tamed his new partner."

Everyone was taken aback by this comment.

It made sense, though. The two female pandas were brought to mate with Yuan Yuan, and they were counting on them to produce panda cubs.

The second cage was brought up, and the panda inside also refused to come out. Yuan Yuan went in again, gave it a couple of gentle slaps, and the panda followed suit, coming out quickly.

This scene was truly unbelievable.

"Did you record it?" Lin Muxue asked Liu Qian.

"Already recorded," Liu Qian nodded.

Lin Muxue then had the door closed and left Tang Wan to observe the two new pandas.

This was her job, and no one else could help.

Meanwhile, Yuan Yuan had already led the two pandas to the pile of bamboo shoots.

The two pandas watched the bamboo shoots, clearly wanting to eat but too afraid to approach. They just stared at Yuan Yuan as he ate.

Once Yuan Yuan finished his bamboo shoot, he scooped some from the pile and placed them in front of the two pandas.

The two pandas then started eating the bamboo shoots.

This scene left Tang Wan amazed. Yuan Yuan was acting so human-like.

What was even more surprising was how quickly Yuan Yuan had tamed the two female pandas. Could it be that there was a concept of a "panda king" similar to a wolf king or lion king, where ordinary pandas would naturally obey and fear their leader?

There's no such saying about pandas.

By the time Liyuan Farm had everything sorted out, it was already evening. The chaos caused by the pandas, the mischievous children, and the traffic jam had finally made it to the trending topics.

At the Youcheng Guesthouse, Hu Kechang and his team received a notification that their transport vehicle had been returned. They were free to head back to the province if they wished.

Hu Kechang was relieved that he had handed the pandas over to Liu Shan and returned to the guesthouse early. Otherwise, he might have been stuck in the traffic for who knows how long.

"Director Hu, this incident has made it to the trending topics. Youcheng and Liyuan Farm are definitely in for some trouble," someone from the provincial zoo said immediately.

After all, the traffic jam in Youcheng led to this situation, and there was no way to avoid the blame.

Hu Kechang nodded. The traffic jam was the root cause, and Youcheng and Liyuan Farm had an inescapable responsibility. Perhaps he could leverage this situation to his advantage?

Just then, his phone rang. It was the zoo director. Before he could speak, the director's cold voice came through the line: "Xiao Hu, I'll be sending you a video and a disciplinary notice. Take a good look."

With that, the call ended abruptly.

Hu Kechang was stunned. What was going on? He then received the disciplinary notice and the video.

The contents of the disciplinary notice left him dumbfounded.

"Due to the negligence of the provincial zoo staff, including Hu Lisheng and others, who did not follow the rules... Hu Lisheng is suspended from his duties..."

"Are you kidding me?" Hu Kechang's face turned pale.

He had planned to suggest that the director use this incident to their advantage, but instead, the director had suspended him.

This was completely unreasonable.

But when he saw the video, his face turned even paler. It showed them hiding in the car, taking no precautions, and ignoring the warnings from others.

They had been recorded, and it was a devious move.

He realized he was being made the scapegoat.

Why him? He had followed the director's orders, intentionally being uncooperative, which led to the traffic jam.

Now it was all his fault?

He felt defeated. If he didn't take the blame, the consequences might be even worse than a suspension.

...

At Liyuan Farm, Zhang Lin received the day's sales report before heading home.

Today, they sold an additional 2000 pounds of sweet potatoes, increasing their revenue by 400,000 yuan. The total revenue had now surpassed 4 million, reaching 4.05 million.

A daily turnover of 4.05 million yuan was a significant achievement; very few businesses in Youcheng could match Liyuan Farm.

Before leaving, Lin Mengyao entered his office and handed him a document. "Mr. Zhang, please sign this first!"

Zhang Lin took the document and saw that it was about promoting Nanluying Campsite Manager Zhan Lili to Project Manager.

He signed it immediately, agreeing to the promotion.

Fu Yao had already enrolled in her senior year, so the campsite needed a new manager. Since the document had reached him, it meant that Project Director Lin Muxue had already conducted the interview, and the HR department had approved it.

Time passed.

Over the next three days, as Liyuan Farm's whitening sweet potatoes became widely available, the internet was flooded with testimonials. People posted before-and-after photos of themselves using the sweet potatoes, comparing their results each day.

While the changes might not have been obvious on the first day, by the second and third days, the whitening effects were clear. The difference from the first day became more and more apparent.

The whitening effects were truly remarkable.

With more and more people recommending the sweet potatoes, there was no need for additional marketing. Everyone knew the benefits, and even those who wanted to criticize found it impossible.

Early in the morning, after drinking his special medicinal wine and exercising by planting trees, Zhang Lin returned to his office and checked his latest data:

Level: 4

- Upgrade Requirements:

- 1. 622 workers (622/200)!

- 2. Earn 30 million yuan in profit (54,145,627/30,000,000)!

- 3. Develop 10,000 acres of agricultural land (9,370/10,000)!

- 4. Gain 1 agricultural honor (0/1)



Bank Account: 62122614

- Balance: 54,145,627.15 yuan

Agricultural Area: 47,000 acres!

- Game Constructions: Prefabricated houses, warehouses, service centers, bamboo maze, bamboo cultural park, office center, camping grounds, mountain spring health center (under construction...)



The farm was close to reaching the 10,000-acre development goal, and the farm's balance had broken through 50 million yuan for the first time.

Just as he finished reviewing the data, Director Zhao Han from the Tourism Bureau arrived.

"Mr. Zhang, take a look at this!" Zhao Han handed him a document.

Zhang Lin took it and saw that it was a notice for rectification, exactly as he had expected. The document required Liyuan Farm to widen the roads.

Zhao Han sighed. "The main responsibility has been placed on the provincial zoo's Director Hu. The rectification is a minor issue. As for the road widening plan, Mr. Zhang, if you have any ideas, feel free to share them. The county will support you."

"Director Zhao, rest assured. I'll have my team work on the plan and coordinate with you soon," Zhang Lin nodded. With the increasing number of visitors, the original roads would eventually become inadequate, so widening them or adding new roads was a necessary step.

After all, it was inevitable.

As they were talking, Lin Muxue rushed into his office. "Mr. Zhang, there's a new situation with Liyuan Farm online. Take a look at this."

Zhang Lin was taken aback. Lin Muxue handed him a video showing a blonde, blue-eyed foreigner.

"Who is this foreigner?"
