In fact, after the demons came down from the mountain, Qiu Guokai arranged a training course for them that already included English. However, considering that they were illiterate and had to learn all the Chinese characters in addition to the second language, the course intensity was relatively low, emphasizing gradual progress.
The wild boar demon was not satisfied with this and demanded, “I need a crash course in English, preferably one that will allow me to speak fluently in just a few months.”
When the squirrel spirit heard this, he thought of the hardship he had endured in class the past few days and was so frightened that his fur almost stood up. “Brother Pig, have you caught swine fever? Have you forgotten how badly we all suffered in the last English class?!”
The wild boar looked at him calmly, his eyes full of the maturity of someone who had experienced it, and said solemnly, “What kind of suffering is that?”
English was a tough subject. Words were difficult to memorize and vocabulary was challenging to learn. After the last English class Qiu Guokai arranged, he even felt like returning to the mountains with his fellow students. But at this moment, the pain of learning English was far less than the pain of his heartbroken love.
He never expected that race would not be a problem and age was not an issue. His first love, for which he was ready to set sail, instead ran aground on the unreachable rock of language before even setting sail.
He looked far away in the direction of the steppe peccary enclosure in the zoo. At this moment, he completely realized the difficulty of love. His face was full of vicissitudes, and his deep pig eyes were slightly red and tearful.
These tears expressed the bitterness of a boar who felt helpless about life, and the many demons couldn’t help but stand in awe when seeing them – Brother Pig suddenly became so profound!
Tuan Tuanyi, who had received the group WeChat message, also emerged. Seeing this, he approached to ask a few questions. Upon learning what was going on, he couldn’t help but feel sad: “It’s not easy to marry a foreign wife.”
Zhi Lixuan, who was escorting Wei Xi out of the zoo, didn’t hear what they said later, but he did catch the first few words. He thus looked at the handsome black guy a few more times and asked Wei Xi, “Master Wei, do you know this gentleman?”
Wei Xi nodded: “This is an employee of our sect.”
Zhi Lixuan glanced around at the spirits, then at his second disciple standing next to Wei Xi. He first sighed at the collective level of appearance of the Taicang Sect’s employees, and then said respectfully, “I didn’t expect your Taoist temple to have such high standards for the Taoist priests, requiring them to learn English together. But it’s true. These days, every industry emphasizes internationalization. Only internationalization can lead the industry to the forefront and go global.”
Leading the industry to the forefront and going global…
Wei Xi felt a little warm in his heart when he heard this. It would be great if Taicang Sect could really have that day.
Zhi Lixuan continued, “Thanks to Master Wei’s help today. The people I sent out just now called back and said they found a large amount of substandard feed and my partner’s purchase records at the warehouse address you gave me. The records show that he may have been substituting poor quality feed for several months, and I was completely unaware of it. After today, I will collect evidence to prosecute him, and I will also hold the employees in the park who conspired with him accountable… Alas, many of them are veteran employees who have worked with us for five or six years. I had complete faith in them, but unfortunately, people are fickle.”
He fished out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Wei Xi’s pocket. “If it weren’t for Master Wei, I might have been fooled by that liar he hired. It’s a small matter if the animals in the zoo escape, but if they keep eating the problematic feed and get sick… I really won’t be able to face the animals in this zoo anymore.”
Wei Xi took it and found a bank card inside. He then nodded and said, “If a company wants to grow bigger and stronger, it must not be stingy with employee benefits. Only when the salary is adequate will employees work hard for you.”
Zhi Lixuan no longer wanted to refute his concept of the relationship between zoos and animals. In fact, after this experience, even his own understanding of animals had become strange. He had always believed that animals had no independent thoughts, but now he knew that monkeys could actually be dissatisfied with their work leisure time. The Siberian tigers that had originally shared the zoo’s hardships would also be disheartened because their original center position was replaced by pandas…
He was an animal lover. Or else why would he choose to run a zoo, of all the other professions? So after this incident, he became more cautious about the animals. After thinking it over, he nodded and said, “Master Wei, don’t worry. I will take good care of them and ensure they are truly free and at ease in the zoo.”
As he was speaking, the dark-skinned young man who had asked to learn English suddenly came over and asked, “Are you the director of the Forest Zoo?”
Zhi Lixuan: “?”
The young man met his gaze and seemed to be hesitant to speak. After a long while, he spoke: “Leave me your contact information.”
Zhi Lixuan took out his business card in confusion and asked him, “What’s going on?”
The young man took the card and looked at it for a long time before speaking, “I’ve noticed that your grassland peccary exhibit is small and remote, the grass isn’t lush enough, and the equipment is rather old.”
Zhi Lixuan didn’t know why the other party suddenly brought this up, but the problem was real. He simply thought the other party was pointing out a flaw in the zoo he had noticed, and he felt helpless about it. “There’s nothing we can do. Visitors to the zoo want to see lions, tigers, and giant pandas. The steppe peccary, while precious, doesn’t look appealing to most visitors, so its exhibit has to be placed in a more remote location. We at the zoo are working very hard to create the best living conditions for all the animals, but our capacity and funding are limited, so we can’t do more. We’re doing our best to provide the equipment and fodder we have so far.”
He thought he was answering a casual question from a tourist’s perspective, but after he finished speaking, the young man seemed very insistent: “Can’t the exhibition hall be moved closer to the center of the area?”
What kind of request is this? Zhi Lixuan felt puzzled and said, “It’s unlikely. From a practical perspective, the steppe peccary doesn’t actually have much commercial value. Considering the actual operation of the zoo, tourists have their own favorite animals. Even if we promote them, they won’t like all of them.”
The young man’s expression became even uglier, as if he had suffered some unbearable pain, and he stared at him with a troubled look.
