Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Chapter 172 Gnawing on Paws

Seeing this, Tang Li's anxious expression faded slightly. She scratched her head, smiled awkwardly, and apologized repeatedly, "I'm so sorry! Principal, I was too hasty. I'll definitely be more careful next time! I'll definitely knock first next time!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she skipped the pleasantries and excitedly stepped forward, slapping the red envelope from her pocket onto Wang Weiguo's desk with a "thud." Her eyes sparkled: "Director, Director, great news! Someone has donated to our zoo! Please give me a donation certificate!"

Wang Weiguo glanced down at the thick red envelope on the table, then looked up at Tang Li's overjoyed expression. A knowing glint flashed in his eyes, and a smile played on his lips: "Judging by your hurried manner, it must have been given to you by the old village chief of Sujia Village, right?"

Tang Li's smile froze, her eyes widening in surprise as she leaned closer to the desk: "Director, how did you know? Did you see us just now?"

She clearly remembered that she rushed back after seeing the old village chief and the others off at the gate, and she didn't see the park director.

Wang Weiguo smiled and shook his head, pushing the red envelope back to Tang Li, his tone casual and gentle: "I didn't see it, but don't I know that old man's temperament?"

"That's just how he is; he always likes to have an extra layer of consideration when asking someone for a favor."

"Since it's from him, just accept it!"

Tang Li was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized what she meant. Her eyes filled with curiosity, she leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Director, so you two know each other?"

Wang Weiguo nodded gently, stroking the body of the thermos, a faint trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, and his tone softened: "We know each other, we've known each other for many years. We've known each other since we were young, so we're old friends."

He glanced up and saw Tang Li's bright eyes, which were filled with a desire to hear a story. He couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand, "Don't look so curious. I'll tell you later when I have time."

"You should accept the red envelope first. That old man has plenty of retirement money; he doesn't need this little bit."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I know you've bought a lot of things for your job lately—mattresses, toys, and all sorts of snacks. It's cost you a lot of money."

"Consider this red envelope as a reimbursement from the park; don't feel embarrassed about it."

"Really? That's great!" Tang Li's face lit up instantly, all hesitation vanished, and she immediately reached out to put the red envelope back into her pocket. She patted her pocket and smiled with her eyes crinkling.

Since the old village chief was a long-time friend of the park director, this red envelope wasn't a "donation," but rather a gift from an elder to a younger person. She accepted it without feeling any guilt.

"Thank you, Director!" Tang Li said cheerfully, then remembered Wang Yuyu and quickly waved her hand, "Director, you can continue with your work. I'll go now and see if Tie Fanwan has finished eating the venison."

Before she finished speaking, she turned around, opened the office door, and ran out quickly, her figure disappearing at the end of the corridor.

Watching Tang Li's hurried departure, Wang Weiguo shook his head helplessly, a gentle smile playing on his lips. He muttered to himself, "That girl, she's really got a fiery temper, like a little firecracker. No wonder she's from Sichuan!"

He stood up, walked to the door, gently closed the office door, walked back to the window, picked up his thermos, took a sip of tea, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.

After leaving the director's office, Tang Li headed straight for the back gate of the zoo.

He climbed up the high platform inside the wall in a few steps, and while clinging to the wall on tiptoe, he eagerly searched for Wang Yuyu's figure in the surrounding woods.

But she looked left and right, turning it over and over for a long time, but the snow was clean and dry, and she didn't see a single tiger.

Tang Li shrugged and muttered under her breath, "This glutton hasn't finished eating yet? Fine, I'll wait for you a little longer."

Then he obediently lay down on the wall, resting his chin on his hand and waiting patiently.

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, a slight noise finally came from deep in the woods.

Wang Yu walked out slowly, his two front paws covered in bright red deer blood, and most of his tiger face was also wet. His once agile body was now bloated with a round belly, like he was carrying a small snowball. He swayed from side to side as he walked, and his steps were a little heavy, like a clumsy but cute dumpling.

Tang Li spotted him immediately and excitedly waved her arms, shouting, "A secure job! You're finally out!"

Upon hearing Tang Li's voice, Wang Yuyu's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately grinned.

But at this moment, his face was covered in blood, his mouth was wide open, and his sharp fangs were still covered with bits of flesh. He didn't look like he was smiling at all; he clearly exuded the intimidation of a ferocious beast. He looked no different from a murderer who had just killed someone and was wandering around with a blood-dripping blade.

Tang Li's smile froze instantly. She instinctively covered her eyes with her hands, peeking out through her fingers and muttering, "My God, I can't bear to look!"

"That's terrifying! You're covered in blood. If tourists saw you like that, they'd be terrified!"

Wang Yuyu had no idea how terrifying she looked. She kept grinning foolishly at Tang Li, wiggling her round belly as she slowly walked down from the platform, looking like she wanted praise and a pat.

Tang Li quickly shook her head, not daring to look any longer. She hurriedly climbed down from the platform, saying, "You've got a secure job. Take good care of yourself. If someone calls me, I'm leaving now!"

Before she finished speaking, her figure disappeared behind the wall.

"Huh?" Wang Yu stood there, stunned, her amber eyes filled with confusion. She muttered, "Why did she run off so fast? Does she have so much work to do? She doesn't even have time to glance at me?"

He shook his heavy, bloated stomach and let out a burp. "Never mind, I'm full anyway, too lazy to move. I won't argue with her."

Wang Yuyu simply stopped walking forward and lay down on the spot, carefully cleaning the bloodstains off her body.

He stuck out his wet tongue and carefully licked his front paws, from the tips to the pads, not letting a single drop of blood escape.

But as he licked, his actions gradually changed.

Its nose twitched, catching the lingering aroma of venison on the paws, and it couldn't help but sigh softly, "It smells so good!"

As he spoke, he simply lay back on the snow, exposing his round belly, squinted his eyes, and stuffed half a paw into his mouth, gnawing on it with relish. His face was full of satisfaction and enjoyment, and even his ears drooped, as if he were completely absorbed in the moment.

After nibbling for a while, Wang Yuyu finally licked the paw clean. Then, she immediately put the other paw, which was stained with blood, into her mouth and continued to eat with great relish.

He licked both paws clean, but still wasn't satisfied, continuing to lick the tips of his paws while muttering indistinctly, "So delicious! This taste is amazing!"

"It feels just like when I was a kid eating spicy snacks. Every time I finished eating them, I had to lick the oil off my fingers clean so that not a drop was wasted."
