"It's okay. Although you can't keep it anymore, you can still come and see it when you have time."
In the office, Yang Lin kindly comforted the sad girl.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the girl burst into tears.
Clearly, she had grown attached to it in just one week.
Seeing her like this, Yang Lin quickly changed his approach.
"How about this? Why don't you come and work here? That way, you can see Da Mi and earn money at the same time."
Perhaps it was the mention of Da Mi's name that caused the little white tiger, who was rolling on its back, to immediately bolt and bump its little head against Yang Lin's calf.
Yang Lin remained unmoved, but the little creature promptly sat down with a thud.
Yang Lin, who had been considering renaming the little tiger, immediately abandoned the idea upon seeing its reaction.
However, the thought of a majestic, formidable tiger being named Da Mi made him want to laugh.
The girl, upon hearing Yang Lin's suggestion, instantly stopped crying and broke into a smile.
"Really? I can really come work here?"
As she spoke, a hint of disbelief seemed to linger on her face.
Heaven knows how many people wanted to work at Xihong Zoo right now.
But Xihong Zoo had never advertised for external positions, which had broken the hearts of countless netizens who dreamed of earning money while petting small animals.
"Of course. The shops around here are doing quite well, and we need another sales assistant. The salary is 3800 yuan a month, with weekends off. We'll provide social insurance and housing fund, and you can bring your family to the park for free at any time of the year. What do you think?"
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, the girl readily agreed.
In her mind, there was no job more suitable for her.
Seeing that the girl's emotions had been soothed, Yang Lin turned to Chen Kexin beside him and said:
"Kexin, go and help your friend with the onboarding procedures."
"Huh? Isn't that HR's job? That would cost extra!"
"Sure, sure, sure."
As Chen Kexin and the girl left, Yang Lin and the white tiger were once again alone in the office.
Looking at the incredibly cute little tiger before him, Yang Lin couldn't imagine it growing into a magnificent beast that commanded the respect of all other animals.
However, the thought of getting a rare white tiger for free brought a smile to his face.
With two new members joining the park in one day, what could be more joyous than this?
"Let's go. I'll take you to meet your two elders, a sort of introduction. From now on, you'll be one family."
As he spoke, Yang Lin scooped up the little creature that was playing with a ball on the ground.
When he appeared in the park holding the little cub, it immediately attracted the attention of countless tourists.
It was no wonder; the little creature in Yang Lin's arms was just too adorable.
"Wow, Director, you got a cat? What breed is this kitten?"
"I can't believe the Director already has both cats and dogs at such a young age!"
"But this kitten looks a bit off, doesn't it? The proportion of its head to its body seems strange."
"I feel it too."
"Oh my god, this isn't a cat, it's a tiger!"
"Tigger! Where's the tigger!"
Upon hearing the word "tiger," some of the tourists present became alarmed.
They thought the male Siberian tiger in the enclosure had escaped due to domestic abuse.
"Did a tiger escape? I don't see it."
As everyone searched, the little creature in Yang Lin's arms quickly became the focus of countless gazes.
"Holy cow, there really is a tiger! And it's so big!"
"It's truly super big and fierce."
"Where did this little tiger come from? It's so cute."
"Did Hua Dajie give birth to it?"
"Are you out of your mind? That male tiger just arrived yesterday. How could it get pregnant and give birth in a day?"
"Besides, this little white tiger is likely a variant of a Bengal tiger. How could two Siberian tigers produce a Bengal tiger?"
"So you know a lot about this."
"I know everything!"
"What kind of day is it today? We just saw a little bear, and now there's a little tiger!"
"Uncle Director, can we touch this little tiger?"
A little girl holding a tanghulu asked timidly.
Everyone thought Yang Lin wouldn't agree to her request. However, to their surprise, Yang Lin simply nodded and gently placed the little white tiger down.
Apparently, after spending so much time interacting with humans, the little creature hadn't yet realized its identity as a tiger and truly considered itself a cat.
As soon as it landed, it immediately mingled with the surrounding tourists.
When the little cute tiger rushed into the crowd, the tourists let out exclamations of surprise.
Such commotion quickly attracted more and more tourists. Upon discovering the little white tiger, Da Mi, their faces lit up with surprise and delight.
No one had ever expected to have the opportunity to interact with a top predator like a tiger at such close range.
Some tourists even started live-streaming their interactions with the little white tiger.
"Babies, look here. Today I'm going to perform 'Wu Song Fights the Tiger' for you."
As she spoke, the tourist gently stroked the little tiger's chin. In the next second, the little tiger rolled onto its back on the ground.
Her live stream quickly garnered a large following.
"Which zoo is this? Are the tigers roaming freely?"
"True 'Wu Song Fights the Tiger.' I seriously suspect the Wu Song from back then fought this kind of tiger."
"Haha, I could defeat this kind of tiger with one punch."
"Give it another year to develop and see. It could slap you to death with one paw."
"I'm a tough guy, and I like little animals like this. Where can I pet them?"
"No need to ask, this must be Xihong Zoo. Although I don't know where they got a little tiger."
"Oh no, Shuai Shuai's family status is likely to be third from now on."
"Why does it feel like the whole world has gone to Xihong Zoo except me?"
"I haven't had enough of the little bear from earlier, and now there's another little tiger?"
"Little bear, little tiger, are we going to have a little pig next? We can film a real-life Winnie the Pooh."
...
However, just as the tourists were happily interacting with Da Mi, Yang Lin suddenly reached out and picked it up.
"Alright, that's all for Da Mi's interaction with everyone today. If you want to play with it again, you can go to the tiger enclosure."
After saying this, Yang Lin headed towards the tiger enclosure with the little creature in his arms.
But before he could get close, screams could be heard from inside the tiger enclosure.
