Chapter 977: Chapter 526: Can You Charge for Taking Advantage?_2

Xiao Qin was stunned for a moment. When he had come earlier, he’d already sensed that the matter wouldn’t be easy to handle and had thought of how to deal with the young boss’s outrageous demands. But now, how had he suddenly become so "righteous and understanding"?

His thought wasn’t wrong, because there are always people who think that since a zoo is "public-owned," seizing the opportunity to make excessive demands and not aiming for personal gain is almost a sin against oneself.

After all, it’s "public-owned," take advantage of it if you can, it’s free either way.

There are even those who believe that if you don’t make the most of such opportunities, you’d be ridiculed for being a fool once you step outside.

But these are just ’some people,’ not Boss Yan.

Boss Yan’s thinking was much simpler. His tiger was no longer young—it was more than three years old, practically a young adult tiger, indeed not small.

When little boys reach the age where they admire the opposite sex, they can’t help but sneak extra glances at pretty young ladies on the street—those who don’t are either named Liu Xiaohui or have developmental issues. Of course, some prefer looking at men, but that goes unsaid; Yan Fei had only learned about this when he went to Hong Kong and found the concept rather, well, something to think about with a bit of a something in his heart.

Following that logic, his pet Tiger Da had also reached the age to talk of love. Though he had two younger female tigers, they were too young. Having it mate so early would be rather inhumane.

Now, someone was presenting an opportunity for his tiger to woo a female tiger right at his doorstep. Yan Fei couldn’t have asked for more, how could he have the audacity to make demands!

This guy’s thoughts were sordid, like he had thought before; owning a few breeding bulls, letting other people bring their cows for his bulls to enjoy, and even getting paid for it seemed to him a great advantage. Finding a female tiger that could bear cubs was harder than finding a cow, so why mention money!

Old Wang was thrilled, stretching out both hands, probably wanting to shake hands with Yan Fei in his excitement. Then he probably remembered that Yan Fei didn’t like that sort of thing and casually rubbed his hands together, looking very pleased, "Good! I knew I didn’t misjudge you. I always knew you were a bit reckless, but when it comes to important matters, you’re reliable. Your awareness is truly commendable, absolutely commendable."

Hearing Old Wang’s words, Xiao Qin was no longer doubtful. Full of admiration, he looked at Yan Fei as if the latter had a halo of merit shining brightly behind his head.

Those new to the world are more easily moved. Recalling the advice some people gave when he came, Xiao Qin gave a thumbs-up, "Boss Yan, your awareness is exactly what’s needed, truly commendable. Initially, I thought you were even younger than me to have built such a big business, and I was somewhat skeptical, thinking you must have had some powerful backing. Now I understand, your awareness is much stronger than most, and with this mindset alone, I’d be convinced in whatever you do."

Yan Fei, looking at the foolishly affectionate Tiger Da nuzzling his hand like a kitty, was contemplating some dirty thoughts when suddenly the praises from these two caught him off guard.

Luckily, he always relished compliments. It didn’t matter how others saw him; as long as they thought well of him, he was happy.

With his mind working quickly, his words flowed smoothly, "These are just minor things. I’ve taken friends to our zoo before, and visited the Provincial City Zoo as well; after comparing them, I felt that our zoo’s infrastructure was a bit behind. Now that I can contribute something to our zoo, I’m overjoyed."

If it were just a young man under twenty saying this without owning a lucrative beef farm, others might think he was merely boastful. However, with his status as a boss, his words became much more credible.

Moreover, Old Wang had a good impression of him after the incident with the poachers, and for Xiao Qin meeting him for the first time, they genuinely believed he possessed a highly enlightened mindset.

It’s strange to say, but as society progresses and people’s lives improve, their thoughts become more diverse. Especially for an experienced person like Old Wang, there’s a disturbing trend among the younger generation—why do some view making a contribution to the ’public’ as a foolish, outdated, and naive thing to do?

Of course, the contribution he spoke of wasn’t the type some people think of, where ’tigers’ should be cared for without any cost. Rather, it referred to effortless gestures like those made by Yan Fei. Even if benefits aren’t discussed first, at the very least, there’s no harm done to oneself, so why the reluctance?

Moved by Yan Fei’s attitude, Xiao Qin was excited for a long while, firstly because Boss Yan’s consciousness was high, and secondly because he, a junior officer on his first assignment, had smoothly completed his task.

With the matter resolved so perfectly, it was already ideal for him. As for what some said about taking the tiger back, Xiao Qin muttered under his breath, those scoundrels make it sound easy, but what, should they feed them to the tigers after putting them in cages? Even if they were willing, the tigers probably wouldn’t be; here, they’re eating good beef daily, with the freedom to roam occasionally, which is a hundred thousand times better than the zoo.

"Boss Yan, rest assured, I’ll report back immediately. I won’t make it difficult for you. When we bring the tiger over, we assure you we won’t trouble you any further," Xiao Qin said, his excitement barely contained. If those who dared to think about taking tigers heard him, they’d probably accuse him of being naive and ’immature’ once again.
