Chapter 288: Is This Even Possible?
In Youcheng County...
After receiving the phone call, County Magistrate Liu had already arranged for a team of five to be received and accommodated.
These five individuals were special forestry officers from the province, specifically tasked with overseeing and supervising panda breeding and cultivation.
To be precise, they were responsible for supervising and managing any special cases related to pandas across the country.
If there were any significant incidents or outcomes, they would hand over the situation to the police.
However, he couldn't understand why these officers had come to his county. Although they were dealing with pandas, everything seemed normal, and there had been no panda deaths or violations reported.
But since the call had reached him, he naturally had to respond: "Welcome to Youcheng County. If there's anything we can help with, we'll do our best to cooperate."
The leader of the team stepped forward, a middle-aged man, and introduced himself: "County Magistrate Liu, I'm Wang Kai, the team leader in charge of this investigation."
"We received a report that there's an old veterinarian in your county who is illegally selling drugs and has deceived your Youcheng Panda Breeding Research Center, causing harm to panda breeding and reproduction. We're here to apprehend this veterinarian and conduct an investigation."
County Magistrate Liu was stunned by these words.
What on earth was going on?
It suddenly clicked in his mind; this was about the panda pregnancy incident at Liyuan Farm.
And that old veterinarian was just a fictional character made up by Zhang Boss and his team; there was no such person in reality.
Wang Kai continued, "County Magistrate Liu, according to the information we received, it seems this person is quite famous, and even your county leaders know about it."
County Magistrate Liu felt embarrassed: "He's probably quite famous, indeed!"
As he spoke, his cheeks twitched.
He couldn't understand why a fictional character they had made up was now being targeted.
Suddenly, there were people coming to arrest the old veterinarian they had fabricated.
This was truly bizarre.
However, having been in officialdom for many years, he probably had some idea of what was going on. There must be some shady business involved.
The most likely scenario was that the drugs Zhang Boss had provided had infringed upon someone's interests.
This was truly laughable.
Everyone claimed that pandas were national treasures, encouraging external research and investment. Even those in the industry passionately advocated for panda protection and care.
But in reality, it seemed that wasn't the case. The interests and conflicts involved were life-and-death matters.
However, since the old veterinarian was a fictional character, how could they arrest him?
How were they supposed to cooperate?
The person didn't even exist.
Wang Kai spoke again, "County Magistrate Liu, to save time, please take us to Liyuan Farm. We need to verify some specific details with the farm."
County Magistrate Liu replied with a sigh, "Alright, I'll personally take you to the farm."
Wang Kai quickly added, "County Magistrate Liu, you can just send someone with us. We wouldn't dare trouble you to come in person."
County Magistrate Liu wouldn't dare send someone else. Someone unfamiliar with the situation might cause unnecessary trouble.
This was a task he had to handle personally to coordinate with Zhang Boss.
So, he immediately said, "Team Leader Wang, I must accompany you. Panda breeding is a top priority for Youcheng County, and with this situation, we need to get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, we won't have peace of mind."
"Then I'll trouble County Magistrate Liu." Wang Kai smiled and nodded.
His job was to protect pandas, so he had a special affection for them. Seeing Liu's concern for the pandas made him very happy.
"Please, Captain Wang." County Magistrate Liu invited with a smile, leading Wang Kai out of the office.
At the same time, he took out his phone and sent a message to Zhang Boss.
...
Liyuan Farm.
Zhang Lin was listening to Lin Shijie's report, "The construction of the Night Market Town should be completed around the Lunar New Year. By then, our dormitory building will be fully constructed, and we can accommodate all the employees."
"We just need to recalculate the housing subsidies and decide whether to subsidize transportation costs or arrange regular transportation services."
Construction projects usually took longer, but the county was rushing the Night Market Town, so they were working overtime every day. Zhang Lin was reviewing the report Lin Shijie had brought, which included detailed calculations for these subsidies.
After carefully reviewing it and finding no issues, he signed his name and said, "Shijie, let's follow your plan for the housing subsidy. As for transportation, we'll provide a subsidy for the expenses. We won't arrange any special transportation."
"The county will arrange dedicated transportation from the Night Market Town to the farm, so there will be plenty of vehicles. Employees can take the bus."
Lin Muxue nodded. The Night Market Town and the farm were not too far apart, making the bus a very good transportation option.
At that time, due to the needs of tourists, there would be frequent bus services. After the discussion, Lin Muxue asked, "There's one more thing. Everyone is wondering about the year-end bonus. Will it be distributed this month, before the Spring Festival, or will there be no year-end bonus for the first year?"
Zhang Lin was not stingy when it came to year-end bonuses, especially since the farm had made a substantial profit this year.
He replied, "There will be a year-end bonus, but since it's the first year and not a full year yet, it will be distributed based on the employees' time of employment. It won't be a full amount anyway."
"Let's set the time for the bonus distribution to coincide with this month's salary payment. Shijie, you can inform the finance department, and once the calculations are done, just have me sign off on it."
Year-end bonuses in companies were usually distributed in January or before the Spring Festival.
But thinking about the busy period before the Spring Festival, it would be better to distribute it in January.
"Okay!" Lin Muxue nodded, her heart filled with anticipation.
This guy had promised a year-end bonus, and as a reward, he would give her a house.
She wanted him to help with the renovation, after all, he was capable of building an estate for Fu Yao. She would use Fu Yao's design.
Would it be too much to ask him to renovate a small house for her? Unless he didn't want to go to those houses.
Zhang Lin was unaware of her thoughts. He also considered what kind of house to give Lin Shijie.
After all, he had promised, and moreover, he would be staying there in the future.
So, he naturally wanted to buy a good house for Shijie, preferably one with more space for activities and room for some romantic props.
That's why he planned to buy her a villa.
As he was thinking about this, he suddenly received a message from County Magistrate Liu.
Seeing the content of the message, he was momentarily stunned.
Is this possible?
