Seeing Su Qinghuan displayed on the phone, Jiang Feng did not immediately answer the call.
He knew this call was likely not well-intentioned.
The people from the Forestry Bureau might have set their sights on Yuan Xiao.
After all, an albino giant panda was a priceless treasure, one that might not be seen for many years.
Not to mention actually bringing an albino giant panda back.
So Jiang Feng put away his phone, ignoring the call.
He parked the tractor in front of his home, then carried bun and Yuan Xiao down.
"Bun, take Yuan Xiao inside to play first."
Jiang Feng patted bun as he spoke.
Woo woo woo!
Bun immediately raised its head, opening its small mouth excitedly and letting out a couple of woos.
Then it routinely led Yuan Xiao into the courtyard.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng began unloading the items from the tractor into the house.
This trip, he had bought quite a lot of things.
After all, he would be living at his old home from now on, so he wanted to be more comfortable.
However, there were too many items, and it was too troublesome for Jiang Feng to make multiple trips back and forth.
He was getting a bit dizzy from all the busyness.
At that moment, bun brought Yuan Xiao running out from the room.
The two little ones saw Jiang Feng unloading and immediately scampered over on their short legs.
Woo woo woo!
Bun raised its little paw, tilting its head as if wanting to help Jiang Feng carry things.
Jiang Feng smiled: "No need bun, I can handle it myself."
Woo woo woo!
Hearing this, bun became unhappy.
It insisted on helping Jiang Feng.
Bun raised its little paw, continuously wooing in dissatisfaction.
Jiang Feng smiled helplessly, then picked up a small item and tucked it into bun's arms.
"Go on, take it into the room."
Woo woo woo!
Seeing Jiang Feng giving it a task, bun immediately grinned.
Holding the item snugly, it happily waddled toward the room.
Jiang Feng shook his head with a smile, knowing why bun was so eager to help.
This little one must want a snack, right?
Woo~
Then, Yuan Xiao, who was still standing there, also let out a small call.
It raised its little head, eyes sparkling as it looked at Jiang Feng.
"Alright, you can help too."
Jiang Feng laughed heartily, then grabbed another small item and tucked it into Yuan Xiao's arms.
Woo~
Yuan Xiao also squinted happily, holding the item and toddling on its short legs toward the room.
Jiang Feng nodded in satisfaction behind them.
Not bad, not bad, these two little ones were born to work.
...
Soon, with the two little ones' "help", Jiang Feng took twice as long to finish unloading everything.
These two were just too mischievous.
During that time, his uncle Jiang Aiguo called and invited Jiang Feng over for a meal.
Seeing how late it had gotten, Jiang Feng declined.
He would just grab something simple tonight, then cook properly tomorrow.
"Finally got it all done, I'm almost dead from exhaustion."
Jiang Feng sighed, sitting on the doorstep.
He felt the body-strengthening exercises he practiced were rather useless - he would probably be worked to death by these two little ones sooner or later.
But Jiang Feng had barely sat down when the director of the Forestry Bureau, Su Qinghuan, called again.
This time, Jiang Feng answered.
"Hello Director Su, how nice of you to call me."
Jiang Feng feigned exhaustion, deliberately panting as he spoke.
"You little sneak, I don't believe you don't know why I'm calling."
Su Qinghuan saw right through Jiang Feng's act on the other end.
Jiang Feng chuckled sheepishly when he heard this.
"Director Su, let's get this clear - if you want to take Yuan Xiao away, I won't agree."
Jiang Feng spoke up immediately, cutting off Su Qinghuan's words.
Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Su Qinghuan's face.
Before calling, he knew this would be the result.
It seemed impossible to get Jiang Feng to hand over the albino giant panda.
After all, Jiang Feng was the first person to encounter the albino giant panda, and he also had the qualifications to raise giant pandas.
So they couldn't just forcibly take Yuan Xiao away.
"Rest assured, we're not trying to take the panda away from you. However, the Forestry Bureau would like to cooperate with you."
Su Qinghuan slowly revealed the opinion recently discussed at the bureau.
"Cooperate? How so?"
Jiang Feng was puzzled upon hearing this.
As an ordinary citizen, what could he cooperate with the Forestry Bureau on?
"It's like this - you know how precious the albino giant panda is, so we want to come collect some samples for research."
"And if you take in any other animals later, we'll get you the adoption papers right away."
Su Qinghuan explained the bureau's proposal.
They saw enormous potential in Jiang Feng.
It was like the animals in these mountains naturally took a liking to him.
Even that ferocious golden cat from before didn't harm Jiang Feng.
So they thought to cooperate with him in some way.
As for the specifics, they were still discussing.
But it would definitely revolve around animals.
After hearing the proposed cooperation, Jiang Feng did not refuse.
After all, whether starting a business or just living in the mountains from now on, he would inevitably need to interact with the Forestry Bureau.
So Jiang Feng agreed without hesitation.
"No problem, you can come over whenever you're free."
Jiang Feng responded.
"Got it."
Hearing Jiang Feng's agreement, Su Qinghuan hung up decisively on the other end.
Jiang Feng put away his phone wordlessly and stood up.
At that moment, bun came waddling out from the room on its short legs, approaching Jiang Feng.
Woo woo woo!
Bun extended its little paw, tilting its head as it looked at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng smiled - this little one was here to collect its "wages" for working, huh?
"Bun, you're right that you should get paid for your work."
Woo woo woo~
Bun grinned and nodded.
Work~
Wages~
"But you didn't work very hard, so I'll have to dock your pay."
Jiang Feng smiled at bun.
Hearing this, bun was dumbfounded.
It now felt the harshness of a panda's life.
Working and still getting pay docked?
Was there any justice or rule of law left!
Bun was completely unhappy now.
It stood before Jiang Feng, paws on its hips, letting out a stream of dissatisfied woos from its small mouth.
It seemed to be arguing vehemently for itself, the tone extremely indignant.
Woo woo woo!
Give me my wages!
Woo woo woo!
You black-hearted boss!
Then Yuan Xiao also waddled over on its short legs, coming up beside bun.
Unlike bun, it did not woo at Jiang Feng angrily.
Instead, it carefully pawed at bun with its paw, telling it not to make a fuss.
It would also sneak glances at Jiang Feng occasionally, checking if he was angry.
The little ones' behavior successfully amused Jiang Feng.
Weren't they just like employees demanding unpaid wages when quitting a job?
