The time came to the second day, and the incident of the escaped animals had already come to an end, with its subsequent impact continuing to ferment.
However, this did not have any significant effect on Yang Lin. The only impact was that the visitor traffic to the zoo increased once again.
Yang Lin was forced to spend ten thousand yuan to create an online reservation mini-program.
Tourists who wished to enter the park needed to make a reservation one day in advance, with a limit of 5,000 reservations per day.
As of now, reservations were already booked for the next month. This feeling of having money but being unable to earn it made Yang Lin's heart ache.
"I must upgrade and renovate the park when I have time, otherwise, the reception capacity is too poor."
As he lamented, Yang Lin diligently searched for relevant information on domestic and international zoos.
Xihong Zoo had a history of decades. Apart from its large area, everything else was somewhat outdated.
It was acceptable before when it was in ruins, but now that it was one of the most popular zoos in Ningnan and even the entire Dragon Country, it was rather unacceptable for it to still be in such a state.
What was more important was that if he did not upgrade the park, how would he be able to increase ticket prices in the future?
Just as he was envisioning the future of Xihong Zoo in his mind, Chen Kexin, with a look of panic, ran in.
"Cousin, that police uncle from before has brought reporters again."
"This time it shouldn't be to arrest you."
Upon hearing Chen Kexin's words, Yang Lin's eyes immediately lit up.
"I was just worrying about where to get the funds for renovation, and now someone is delivering money."
He clearly remembered that Lin Feng still owed him a million-dollar reward, and with this time's incident, it should at least add a bit more.
"Let's go out and welcome them."
With that, Yang Lin strode directly towards the exit of the park.
At the zoo entrance at this moment, in addition to crowds of onlookers, the most eye-catching were the vehicles from the criminal investigation team and the broadcast vans from the television station.
Yang Lin even saw a grand gong and drum troupe, with dragon and lion dancers, creating a lively scene.
When his figure appeared at the zoo entrance, the tourists instantly erupted.
"The director is here, the director is here."
"Quick, make way for the director."
"Director, how many times has this been that you've received commendations?"
...
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Lin Feng, with a smile, walked up to Yang Lin holding a pennant.
"Director Yang, we meet again."
"I won't waste time with pleasantries. I'll get straight to the point."
"Bring everything over."
As Lin Feng waved his hand, a group of police officers immediately approached with various items.
There were people carrying plaques, trays, and certificates.
And besides these, what excited Yang Lin the most was the oversized check.
Looking at the long string of zeros and the starting digit five, Yang Lin knew this was no small matter.
"On behalf of all citizens of Ningnan City, I express our gratitude to Director Yang for his efforts in this operation."
"This is your certificate, this is the plaque for Ningnan City's Excellent 5A Scenic Spot, and this is your bonus for the last time and this time, totaling five million."
As he spoke, Lin Feng stuffed a pile of items into Yang Lin's hands.
Seeing this, the tourists and reporters present immediately took out their phones and other recording equipment and began to snap photos.
Just as Yang Lin thought it was over, Lin Feng suddenly spoke again.
"Of course, this commendation is not just for Director Yang personally. Considering the performance of the animals in your park, we have also prepared a special gift for them."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Yang Lin was first stunned, then asked in surprise.
"What have you prepared for them?"
However, Lin Feng did not answer his question immediately but glanced at the interior of the park.
"Director Yang, would it be convenient for you to call the Paw Patrol over?"
Although he didn't quite understand why Lin Feng suddenly wanted the Paw Patrol, Yang Lin still took out his phone from his pocket.
As he dialed a number on it, shortly thereafter, Li Goudan, whose neck was adorned with a child's smartwatch, arrived with the members of the Paw Patrol, running at full speed.
"What's up, boss? Is there an extra meal?"
As soon as he arrived, Li Goudan placed his front paw on Yang Lin's shoulder.
Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Just then, Lin Feng nodded again to a police officer beside him.
Soon after, the police officer pushed a small cart over.
Yang Lin looked closely and realized that the cart was filled with black vests imprinted with police badges.
However, these vests were clearly not for humans.
"Following the decision of the higher authorities, our Ningnan City Criminal Investigation Detachment has decided to officially hire Li Goudan, Li Gousheng, and 7 other members of the Paw Patrol as official police dogs."
"They will be officially enrolled as police dogs and enjoy all the benefits and subsidies of active police dogs."
"Of course, they do not need to report to the police station; they only need to stay at the zoo."
As Lin Feng finished speaking, police officers immediately took the vests from the cart and handed them to Yang Lin.
Looking at these handsome black vests, imprinted with police dog numbers and bearing police badges, Yang Lin was completely dumbfounded.
Before he could react, Li Goudan immediately bit onto one of them.
In front of everyone, he put on the police dog vest himself.
"Boss, this outfit is so cool, I like it!"
While exclaiming with surprise, Li Goudan directed the other dogs to also put on their vests.
After all the dogs had independently put on their vests imprinted with police dog numbers, the demeanor of the Paw Patrol changed dramatically.
From a disorganised mob without discipline or rules, they directly transformed into a regular army. From a distance, they exuded a sense of inexplicable reassurance.
The onlookers beside them exclaimed how cool they looked.
Undoubtedly, from this moment on, the Paw Patrol transitioned from a civilian organization to a special operations unit with official backing.
As everyone marveled, Yang Lin asked a string of questions.
"Captain Lin, I'd like to ask, are they officially enrolled now? What's the approximate monthly salary and subsidy?"
Lin Feng, who clearly hadn't expected Yang Lin to ask this question, was first stunned, then replied:
"Official police dogs can receive a food subsidy of 18,000 yuan per month."
"Of course, this amount will fluctuate to some extent depending on the breed and specific role."
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, both Yang Lin and the tourists present fell into silence.
A subsidy of eighteen thousand yuan per month—this was already higher than the salary of ninety percent of the people in Ningnan City.
After the silence, a smile appeared on Yang Lin's face. He could finally live a life of being fed by dogs.
