Super Zoo

The matter of the finless porpoise came to an end. Before leaving Yangchuan City, Professor Chu specifically looked for Su Ming again and asked Su Ming for help.

After listening to Professor Chu, Su Ming nodded without hesitation and agreed, then nodded and smiled at Liang Shi standing beside him: "Don't worry, you will be in the zoo in the future. If you have any questions, come to me."

"Thank you, Brother Su!" Liang Shi scratched his head and said.

As mentioned before, Liang Shi's graduate thesis topic is about the study of wild finless porpoises.

In the past, where could he find live wild finless porpoises for him to study? This time, he finally found three, and Liang Shi certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity. He wanted to stay in the zoo to observe the life of the finless porpoises up close so as to better complete his thesis.

In fact, Professor Chu had some small thoughts, which could not be hidden from Su Ming.

He was probably still not very confident about the technical level of the zoo, and intended to keep Liang Shi here to help. Although Liang Shi was a dull and unsociable guy, his professional level in aquatic biology research was quite high. Among the young generation in China, he was a top figure.

Su Ming talked to Director Song and decided to arrange for Liang Shi to live in the zoo, together with Master Peng, in Ming and Qing Residence. Ming and Qing Residence is a big place, and there are not many tourists on weekdays. Liang Shi lives there, so he can keep Master Peng company and attract more people. Otherwise, Ming and Qing Residence would be deserted at night, like a haunted house.

The Yangchuan City protection team has been established, with a total of eight people, led by Wang Jianshe as the team leader, and the actual person in charge is Deputy Team Leader Director Song, and there are several people from other government departments.

Department-level and section-level cadres are all officials. The only ordinary person is Su Ming, so he is also the only one responsible for the specific work, and he is responsible for taking care of the finless porpoises.

The three finless porpoises are temporarily kept in Shuijun Lake. The team has allocated a sum of money as the feed and care expenses for the finless porpoises during this period. They have also specially fenced off a water area of ​​more than ten acres on Shuijun Lake, and cruise ships are not allowed to approach to avoid the reopened cruise ships from hitting the finless porpoises.

Compared with an aquarium, the area of ​​more than ten acres is huge, but compared with the living space of the finless porpoises in the reservoir, it is a bit narrow.

Now the three finless porpoises have learned bad things from Su Ming. They stay in the protected area obediently during the day, and jump out of the protected area and run around in the lake at night when no one is around.

At the last group meeting, Wang Jianshe conveyed an instruction from his superiors that Yangchuan City is going to build a small aquatic biological protection center in the zoo for the future use of the finless porpoises.

Even a small protection center requires a large amount of funds. The city will allocate part, the province will give part, and the zoo will pay part. If there is still a shortage, it will be the headache of Wang Jianshe, the team leader.

"Protection center? That is not a problem that can be solved by a few acres or dozens of acres. Where can the zoo get such a large land?" Su Ming thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out where in the zoo is suitable for building a protection center.

Although there are many open spaces in the zoo, most of them are woods, not lakes. Since it is an aquatic biological protection center, it must be dominated by lakes.

Could it be that they are targeting my navy? Su Ming's eyes rolled.

"Don't make blind guesses. You are a meritorious official. No matter whose land is taken, it will not be your fault. Besides, the three porpoises only recognize you now. If you offend, no one will have a good ending."

Director Song saw Su Ming's worry and said half-jokingly: "Hehe, no one thought that the dispute over the porpoises would be successful this time. As the leader in charge, Lao Wang has become a big star in the city. I heard that he will join the leadership team of the Municipal Party Committee. Let Lao Wang worry about the land and money."

"How old is Director Wang? He is in his early 50s, and he has joined the Municipal Party Committee?" Su Ming was stunned.

"Being able to grab a piece of meat from the provincial capital, Lao Wang is very proud now."

Director Song is actually quite proud too. Wang Jianshe is the head of the zoo. In this finless porpoise incident, they have forged a deep revolutionary friendship. Lao Wang has been promoted. It will be easier for the zoo to ask for some funds in the future. Even if it needs to be restructured, Lao Wang can help to fight for better conditions and treatment.

"I have something serious to ask you to come here."

Director Song took out a few forms from the drawer and spread them on the table, saying: "The establishment has been approved. You fill in the forms and you will be a formal employee of the zoo in the future. Oh, go back and write an application for joining the party. I will be your introducer."

The last time the Yangchuan City Finless Porpoise Protection Group held a meeting, the entire group was composed of state cadres, with Su Ming being the only ordinary person outside the system.

After finishing the serious business, Wang Jianshe said half-jokingly that Su Ming, such an outstanding young comrade, how could he always be outside the organization? He should be absorbed. And Old Song, your zoo is the same. How come Comrade Xiao Su is still a temporary worker on a contract basis? If it weren't for Xiao Su's firm revolutionary stance, he would have been poached.

The superior leader gave instructions while chatting and laughing, and the supervisor, Director Song, had originally intended to do so. Su Ming's formalization and joining the party almost became a matter of course.

"Leader, doesn't it mean that it is inconvenient to contract the zoo industry if you are a regular worker?" Su Ming asked a little puzzled.

"That's what it says in theory. Who will explain the theory? Of course it's the leader!" Director Song smiled.

Su Ming nodded heavily, and once again deeply realized the superiority of the system.

However, he also knew in his heart that relying on "leaders" alone would not work. Old Song and Old Wang protected him, but Yangchuan had more than these two leaders. The key was that he had to make achievements himself. Only with achievements could everything be easy.

In addition, Su Ming clearly felt that the zoo reform was imminent after attending two meetings, which was probably also a reason.

Once the reform was completed, the zoo would be responsible for its own profits and losses. Who would care about the person who contracted the zoo industry, whether it was a regular employee or a temporary worker? At that time, everyone would be employed on a contract basis.

After becoming a regular employee, Su Ming's salary increased slightly, and he earned an extra thousand yuan a month.

"Yeah? Didn't you say that equal pay for equal work? Why do regular employees earn more than temporary workers?" Su Ming asked seriously.

"You kid are still shaking? You don't want to increase your salary, right?" Director Song glared at him unhappily, and then explained: "Of course it's equal pay for equal work, but your job responsibilities have changed now, and you don't have to be a keeper anymore."

Old Song knew that Su Ming was busy now, and asking him to feed the animals at a fixed time every day would be a waste of talent, so he "promoted" Su Ming.

In the future, Su Ming will no longer be responsible for feeding the animals in a certain area, but as the assistant to the director, he will be responsible for managing all the animals in the entire zoo. The specific work is done by keepers at all levels. Su Ming only needs to patrol the zoo from time to time and be responsible for solving emergencies of animals.

In other words, Su Ming is now a direct subordinate of Lao Song and a middle-level cadre of the zoo, so his salary will naturally increase.

He is not a senior official. The real senior official of the zoo is only the director Lao Song, who is in charge of the party and government. The official party secretary of the zoo has almost never shown up. He just holds a position and has lived in the old cadre sanatorium for three or four years.

Speaking of salary increase, Su Ming always feels as if he has forgotten something very important.
