Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 265 Ling Xiaomang's Seven Ups and Seven Downs
"Director! Good news!"

The assistant pushed open the door, his face beaming with undisguised joy: "The first batch of funds for the special improvement project we applied for has arrived!"

"real?!"

The headmaster jumped up from his chair: "That's wonderful! This is a real lifesaver!"

"With this funding, we can completely renovate the facilities!"

He rubbed his hands together, paced back and forth in his office a couple of times, and immediately ordered, "Immediately issue the notice: this phase of the park facility improvement plan can be started right away! Speed ​​up the construction schedule and strive to complete it all before early spring!"

After saying that, he seemed to suddenly remember something and added something.

"By the way, remember to prioritize improving feline enclosures, especially enrichment facilities."

"After all, we promised Teacher Chen."

The principal emphasized it again with a smile.

The assistant smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Understood, Director. Don't worry, I will definitely put this matter first."

He knew in his heart that the reason why the funds were approved and received so quickly was because of the immense popularity and attention that Chen Nian and he brought.

Promises made to meritorious individuals should naturally be fulfilled as a priority.

The headmaster was already making plans in his mind.

Perhaps we could ask Chen Nian to bring some salt for Nishino.

However, there's no rush. We can discuss it when Chen Nian is about to leave.

"Ok!"

The principal nodded in satisfaction, picked up the report that had just been signed on the table, and stretched contentedly: "Finally, I can catch my breath a little. By the way, is Teacher Chen at the kindergarten today? What is she doing?"

The assistant glanced down at the work group messages on his phone.

"Teacher Chen, it seems he's already preparing to make contact with the 'Zhemo Mang'. He's probably almost at their activity area by now."

"So fast?"

The headmaster looked up in surprise.

He's been busy all day and hasn't even had time to drink water, so he almost missed the news.

This matter concerned Chen Nian's safety, so the zoo director couldn't sit still any longer and called for everyone to rush to the snow leopard activity area.

"I'll take some people to take a look. You go ahead and get busy."

"Yes, Principal."

Ten minutes later.

The zoo director, along with veterinarian Liu and several staff members, rushed to the core living area of ​​the snow leopard enclosure.

They found Chen Nian in the passageway inside the building, who had just 'borrowed' something from Xue Aotian.

"Teacher Chen!"

The headmaster called out.

Seeing that Chen Nian hadn't started yet, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She then walked over and looked at Chen Nian helplessly: "Teacher Chen, why didn't you tell me about this?"

Chen Nian said with a smile, "Isn't this to give the headmaster a surprise?"

"And with the zookeepers around, there won't be any problems."

"Too."

The head of the kindergarten also realized that her concern had led to confusion.

Chen Nian is not the impulsive type of person.

He glanced around Chen Nian's side but didn't see his assistant, Xia Qiyue: "Where's Qiyue?"

"She's staying home editing videos."

"They said they were delayed by visiting the zoo these past two days, so they had a lot of videos piling up and needed to process them all at once, which is why they couldn't come."

Chen Nian explained.

The reality is that the animals at Nishino are too charming, especially the inner area that can only be entered with Chen Nian's VIP pass, which allowed Xia Qiyue to capture a lot of precious and interesting scenes that are rarely seen outside.

Then Xia Qiyue had a burst of inspiration.

I want to create a special episode of 'Nishino's Cutest Pets Collection'.

This would not only help Chen Nian consolidate and attract traffic, but also provide Xi Ye with a powerful boost in publicity, killing two birds with one stone. "I see."

The headmaster nodded knowingly.

As they spoke, the group arrived at the observation point outside the cage in the activity area of ​​the 'Zhemo Mang' group.

Chen Nian looked up and saw the two little ones jumping and playing happily in the spacious activity area.

Because the museum is temporarily closed today, there are no tourists disturbing the visitors.

Even Ling Xiaomang, who is usually relatively introverted and shy, seemed much more lively at this moment.

When Chen Nian and the others arrived, Ling Xiaomang was squatting on a small, rock-like platform about two meters above the ground. Her muscles were tense, and her little bottom was swaying slightly from side to side. She looked focused and ready to go, staring intently at the tallest, thickest wooden pole three meters away.

This posture seemed familiar to Chen Nian.

This was the posture Xue Aotian used when he practiced the 'flying pounce'.

However, Ling Xiaomang's 'charge bar' time was significantly longer than Xue Aotian's.

It hesitated and adjusted for a long time, as if it had finally made up its mind. With a sudden push of its hind legs, its small body soared into the air and lunged towards the target wooden pole!

Its long tail stretched out behind it like a fluffy flag.

Given a snow leopard's normal jumping ability, this distance should have been easily covered.

An adult snow leopard can leap up to 15 meters!

Even though Ling Xiaomang is still a minor, completing this action should be no problem for her.

But Ling Xiaomang failed.

Ling Xiaomang only jumped about two meters before her body seemed to lose its strength and began to fall limply.

It hurriedly spread its limbs in mid-air, like a small parachute, and barely managed to land steadily without crashing.
It raised its head and looked at the thick wooden pole that was still out of reach. Instantly, its beautiful blue-gray eyes were filled with loss and frustration.

Their round little ears drooped down limply.

The zookeeper, Xiao Wang, who had been closely monitoring the situation, sighed.

"This is its seventh attempt, and it hasn't succeeded yet."

The series of setbacks clearly had a serious impact on Ling Xiaomang's self-confidence.

It hung its head, pacing anxiously back and forth under the wooden pole, letting out a wronged and somewhat unwilling "woof" sound from its throat, and occasionally glancing up.

I seem to want to try again, but I can't muster the courage.

Looking out the window, everyone felt a pang of unease.

Fortunately, it wasn't alone.

Ying~!

Ling Xiaozhe, who had been lying in ambush, seized the opportunity and pounced on Ling Xiaomang from the side, knocking her to the ground. Then, without saying a word, he began to enthusiastically lick her face!
Huh?!

Ling Xiaomang was startled by the sudden attack.

He instantly snapped out of his self-pity and angrily tried to pull Ling Xiaozhe off him.

Ling Xiaozhe nimbly turned around and jumped away.

While dodging Ling Xiaomang's counterattack, it didn't forget to turn around and flick its tail at the other party, making a provocative 'geigei' sound.

(geigeigeigeigei)

Ouch!

Ling Xiaomang fell for the trap and immediately forgot her previous failure. She got up and angrily chased after Ling Xiaozhe.

The two furry little guys immediately started chasing and playing around in the arena.

They tangled and rolled together.

Like two oversized, out-of-control balls of yarn.

It prefers playing and having fun with its friends to facing challenges.

After all, it's still just a child.

Playing is a child's nature.

Seeing this, Chen Nian smiled with satisfaction and said to the zoo director beside her, "Is this why you insisted on keeping them in the same cage?"

(Daily guess~ What kind of cat is this?)
