With the help of the special police, they cleared all the traps that had been set before, so that the villagers who went up the mountain to chop wood and catch rabbits would not be accidentally hurt by the traps left behind.

The man was sent directly to the police station and confessed everything after interrogation. The person who contacted him transferred 50,000 yuan to him and only asked him to take pictures of the camp and Jiang Shiyan and others, and send them to an overseas mailbox every day.

Before this, he had been lurking in the mountains and taking secret photos for several days, and each time he had to climb up a tall tree to avoid being discovered.

He is indeed a local villager, but he used to work outside the area. After receiving a strange phone call a month ago, he immediately resigned and returned to his hometown.

Most of the photos he secretly took were of Jiang Shiyan and Xiao Chen, who were also the most important people in the project and participated in almost the entire process. Especially in Jiang Shiyan's photos, there were more than a dozen different animals.

After returning to City Z, Jiang Shiyan was invited to the big boss's office before he had time to catch his breath.

The mayor and the secretary are both here.

If Director Song and Director Lin, two people who had always taken care of her, had not been in the office and given her courage, she would have been too nervous to utter complete sentences.

"Xiao Jiang, the capital has sent you an invitation letter, wanting to invite you to join the laboratory. What do you think?" The secretary looked at Jiang Shiyan with a smile. The more he looked at this girl, the more he liked her.

"Can I refuse?" Jiang Shiyan asked timidly.

Although she knew it was an honor, she really didn't want to leave City Z or the little guys in her zoo. She hadn't seen them for almost two months.

"Of course, I respect your personal opinion."

"I don't want to go. I want to stay in City Z. I have lived here since I was a child. Except for traveling, I have never left the province. Besides, my father is about to retire, and I want to be with them." Jiang Shiyan said sincerely.

"This child is filial." Director Lin smiled and spoke for Jiang Shiyan. "The invitation from the province was rejected before. I guess there will be a lot of such things in the future."

After all, she is the hero who found wild pangolins, and it is said that this girl even discovered how to increase the reproduction and survival rate of pangolins. When this news came out, it would be difficult for research institutes and related institutions around the world to ignore it!

"Not to mention the forestry department, many police stations have come to our city police department to borrow people. I don't know who spread the news that our city has a police cat team. They all want to come here in person to snatch people." Director Song also joked with a smile.

"We have to watch carefully. We can't let the talents of our Z city be snatched away!" The mayor said with a smile, "Tell them that they can send people to learn, but they definitely can't give them people."

"nature."

Jiang Shiyan stood aside obediently and didn't say a word.

They turned their eyes to Jiang Shiyan, and the secretary asked slowly, "Although our Z city is not a provincial capital, it is well developed and attaches great importance to talents. You have made many contributions, so if you have any requests, please let me know. The mayor and I are here, so let's see if we can arrange it."

Jiang Shiyan's mind moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Can I really ask for it?"

The mayor and the secretary looked at each other and smiled: "Tell me."

"Then can I expand my zoo?" Jiang Shiyan said cautiously, "The zoo I bought before was a little small, and the animals didn't have much space to move around. Now that business is good, I want to expand it a little bit and raise more small animals. I rescued a group of plucked foxes from the mountains before, and I specifically asked if they can be adopted."

The expansion of the zoo requires land approval documents, otherwise it would be an illegal expansion. Now that the top leaders have taken the initiative to bring it up, Jiang Shiyan certainly cannot miss this rare opportunity.

"Any other conditions?"

Jiang Shiyan shook his head: "That's it."

This condition was somewhat beyond their expectations, but it was also reasonable, and they looked at Jiang Shiyan with even more charitable eyes.

Obviously, she could have asked for more, and they could satisfy her requests as long as they were not excessive, but she was still thinking about those little animals in her heart, which shows that she remained true to her original heart as always.

"I remember there was a piece of reclaimed land in the south of the city..."

The secretary understood instantly and immediately explained the situation of the land. The area around the land is relatively remote and the economy has not been developed. Although there are plans to auction it, it is still in the planning stage. Now there is a new idea.

"What is your purpose in running a zoo, to make money or for these little animals?"

Jiang Shiyan thought about it, and she didn't say anything righteous against her conscience: "I have to make money. The operation of the zoo needs money to support it. Equipment, manpower, and the food and drink of the small animals all need money. I can give them a better life with the money I make. The lifespan of these small animals is not long, the shortest is a few years, and the longest is more than ten or twenty years. I hope to give them the best life within my ability..."

"How about this, we build a new zoo on that piece of land. The scale will definitely be much larger than the one you are running now. However, zoos built by local relevant departments are all public welfare institutions. You must be aware of this. There are two ways now. One is to be managed by our Forestry Bureau, just like the forest zoo. We will provide a guarantee and the risk factor is low. The second way is an innovative model..."

They want to create a new tourist attraction, a self-supporting public welfare zoo that integrates four major functions: wildlife protection, animal science education, scientific and technological research, and cultural entertainment and leisure.

This is also one of the key topics they have discussed over the past month.

And Jiang Shiyan is the best person for them to implement this project.

How could Jiang Shiyan understand all this? He was completely confused, and his mind was a mess.

"What the secretary said is too profound. Our little girl Yan can't digest it yet." The mayor said with a smile, "Why don't we let the child go back and have a good rest first? There is no rush. After all, she has been busy in the mountains for a month or two."

"It's my fault. I didn't think it through." The secretary also laughed.

Jiang Shiyan smiled shyly, but she was actually very nervous inside.

When she walked out of the office, she walked lightly, her head was groggy and she didn't know what to say. She had no idea that the conversation she had just had would bring about earth-shaking changes in her future life.

When she encountered something that she couldn't figure out or couldn't make a decision, the first person she thought of was her brother, Jiang Yiheng.

Jiang Yiheng was also stunned after hearing Jiang Shiyan's words.

Because this matter is so huge, it involves more than just one individual. It is related to the development of the entire City Z and will even be watched by units and organizations across the country.

Jiang Yiheng took Jiang Shiyan back home without saying a word. Such an important matter had to be addressed to Jiang's father, after all, he was a professor who participated in national research projects.

As soon as the brother and sister returned home and opened the door, they found several "uninvited guests" already sitting in the house.
