Chapter 35: Advice from the Old Leader Chen Ying looked carefully and saw that it was the head of the local Forestry Bureau who came. This old leader originally came up from Jiamugou Forest Station, and he values this forest more than his own children. "There was a district meeting today, and my old leader happened to be here too. He heard that you rescued a lost panda cub, so he came to take a look." Brother Liu quickly gave Chen Ying some advice. Chen Ying didn't try to squeeze forward because at that moment the leaders of the center and the forest station were standing in a circle, listening to Team Leader Li's work report. If he squeezed forward, he would become conspicuous. "Xiao Chen, come here for a moment." While playing crickets with Brother Liu, he heard the leader calling his name. Director Bai of the center also followed behind, and it was Director Bai who was calling him. "Xiao Chen is a star veterinarian at our rescue center. Netizens call him Druid. He was responsible for the rescue of the giant panda Mundun'er and the panda cubs." Director Bai took Chen Ying to introduce her to the old leader.
The old leader stared at Chen Ying for a while, then smiled and said to the person walking beside him, "I've heard of the Druid at the rescue station. My granddaughter told me about it. She especially liked his interaction with the lynx." Chen Ying quickly said that netizens were just joking, and he was just treating the wild animals, so those small animals were gentle to him. When he said this, the others just smiled and didn't say anything. Many of these leaders are veterinarians. That doesn't mean they have never treated illnesses or injuries of wild animals. But I have never seen any wild animal that has such a close relationship with him as that lynx. Chen Ying had a smile on her face, but she felt very uncomfortable. He chose to come to the rescue station on the mountain because he didn't want to deal with people and didn't want to get involved in complicated interpersonal relationships and office politics. Looking at the false smiles on the faces of these leaders, he regretted why he didn't go up the mountain today. Fortunately, Director Bai knew his character and after introducing him for a few words, he let him get back to work. Chen Ying felt it was inconvenient to hang around outside, so she simply went into Sister Leopard's animal enclosure to comb its hair and give it a massage. "Hey, there's a commotion outside, what's going on?" "Leaders are inspecting the work." "What is a leader? The other people? I don't like too much noise. You are increasingly annoying Leopard." Not to mention Sister Bao being irritable, even he felt irritable. I just hope that Mendun'er can recover from his illness quickly and regain health soon, so that the shelter can return to peace. After combing Sister Leopard's hair and accumulating a bag of fur, Chen Ying planned to ask the girl Apple from the center to help make a small felt pendant for Sister Leopard. He doesn’t do any live broadcasts, but he has quite a few fans on his personal social media accounts. Especially his science account, many fans have known him since his senior year. He wants to collect the fur of Leopard Sister and Jin Ya to make some small pendants and give them to fans as gifts for lottery. He let Sister Leopard go back to the platform to rest, and caught the little leopards and asked Sister Leopard to look after them. He prepared to scrub the floor of the animal house. After the little leopards started practicing tearing strips of meat, the floor in the room became unbearable to step on without being brushed once or twice a day. He had just cleaned the floor and was removing the cloth mat from the cat's bed when Director Bai came over to find him.
Director Bai certainly didn't dare to enter the animal house, so he knocked on the door and called him out. "The old leader came here today, nominally to inspect the work, but actually wanted to understand the current situation of the rescue station. The report you submitted about the rescue cabin in the forest was stuck at the district forestry bureau. The district leader felt that the current scale of the rescue station is sufficient to cope with the work, and there is no need to build a separate rescue cabin." Director Bai looked at Chen Ying's face and was silent for a while. "If that doesn't work, we can only find ways to raise private funds. But as you know, the management in this area is very strict now. If we introduce private funds, there will be many restrictions on the subsequent work." Chen Ying pinched the bridge of her nose, "I see, thank you Director." "Don't be polite with me, I know you want to better rescue wild animals, but you also have to consider the ideas of other units." Director Bai said a few words to him and left. Chen Ying leaned against the wall for a long time before returning to the room to continue cleaning. "Hoo, what's wrong? That human said something to you. It seemed like you were in pain." "No, Sister Leopard, I'm not upset, I'm just a little disappointed." Chen Ying pulled out the mat from the cat bed, cleaned it, stuffed it back into the cat bed, and then placed the cat bed in another corner away from the pool. "I originally wanted to rebuild the cabin in the forest, which is more suitable for animals like you to recuperate. Moreover, many animals are not seriously injured or sick, so they don't need to enter human territory. But the leader said it was unnecessary, and the money for repairing the cabin would be better used to buy more food for wild animals." Sister Leopard doesn’t quite understand what money is, but buying food? They can hunt by themselves. Even if the food humans feed them is very good, the prey they catch themselves is more delicious, so why should they buy it? Sister Leopard doesn’t understand humans, but she really wants to comfort Chen Ying. "How about I give the tree hole to you?" Chen Ying grinned, extremely happy. That tree hole is not even half the size of the cabin. What are you doing here, playing hide-and-seek? He rubbed Sister Leopard's head hard until she pushed him away impatiently. "Don't worry about me. Just be depressed for a while. I will have money in a while. When I have money, I will build it myself." If all else fails, he will try to find a way to ask Yin Li for help from the village, and ask the villagers to help rebuild the wooden house, and the money will come from his account. Speaking of which, in those novels, the protagonists can rely on their animal friends to find precious medicinal herbs, which is much better than him. This forest is a protected area. It is impossible to pick rare medicinal herbs in the mountains, but we can guide the villagers to introduce rare medicinal herbs. He learned from fans that there were examples in other protected areas in the country that could be used as reference. The prerequisite for introducing new species is to find suitable mother plants, and to use scientific means to carry out protective transplanting. Only after successful introduction can large-scale planting be carried out. He is a novice in this area, and Yin Li's brain is not very useful. If he wants to successfully implement the plan, he needs external help. Time passed quickly while I was chatting with Sister Bao and working. When it was time for lunch, the leaders were going down the mountain and all the staff of the rescue station, except those on duty, came out to show their faces. When they were almost at the gate, the old leader suddenly stopped, turned around and greeted Chen Ying. "Xiao Chen, come here for a moment." Chen Ying glanced blankly at Director Bai, who was also bewildered, and quickly took off his work gloves and trotted over.
"Xiao Chen, I've read the report you guys sent me. The bureau has its own difficulties." "Leader, Director Bai has already told me. I will obey the decision of the bureau." "Haha, you kid." The old leader patted him on the shoulder and lowered his voice. "I'll show you a way. You can try it. The Ministry of Forestry has a new five-year plan, which has released many projects on the protection of rare animals and plants. I heard that your teacher is also striving for it. You can join your teacher's research group, or you can take the initiative to apply for a sub-project. I'll have someone send you a set of information via email later. Please take a look at it carefully." Chen Ying looked up in slight surprise. The old leader patted him on the shoulder without saying anything else, then got into the car and left. Someone from the Panda Medical Team wanted to come over and ask Chen Ying what the old leader had said to him, but before he could take any action, he was urged by Team Leader Li to go back to the medical area and continue working. Seeing that everyone had left, Yin Li came over and pulled him back to the dormitory to talk. (End of this chapter)
