Generous Official Rewards

The next day, the escaped animals incident had concluded, though its aftereffects continued to ripple through society.

This didn't particularly affect Yang Lin, except that the zoo's visitor numbers had once again increased significantly.

Left with no choice, Yang Lin spent ten thousand yuan to develop an online reservation mini-program.

Visitors who wanted to enter the park needed to make reservations one day in advance, with a daily limit of 5,000 people.

As of now, reservations were already booked until next month, and the feeling of being unable to capitalize on this demand caused Yang Lin physical pain.

"I definitely need to upgrade and renovate the park when I have time; our current reception capacity is just too inadequate," he mused.

While lamenting this, Yang Lin carefully researched information about various domestic and international zoos.

West Rainbow Zoo had decades of history by now, and aside from its large area, everything else had fallen behind the times.

Its previous state of disrepair was one thing, but now that it had become one of the most popular zoos in Ningnan and even the entire Dragon Country, maintaining such poor conditions would be inexcusable.

More importantly, if he didn't upgrade the park, how could he justify raising prices in the future?

Just as he was planning the future of West Rainbow Zoo in his mind, Chen Kexin rushed in with a panicked expression.

"Cousin, that police uncle is back again with reporters."

"This time they probably aren't here to arrest you."

Hearing Chen Kexin's words, Yang Lin's eyes immediately lit up.

"I was just wondering where to get renovation funds, and now someone's bringing money to us."

He remembered that Lin Feng still owed him a million-yuan reward, and this time it should be even more.

"Let's go out and welcome them."

With that, Yang Lin walked straight toward the park entrance.

At the zoo's main gate, besides the crowds of onlooking visitors, the most eye-catching sights were the vehicles from the criminal police unit and the TV station's broadcast van.

Yang Lin even spotted a grand procession with drums, dragon dancers, and lion dancers, creating quite a festive atmosphere.

When he appeared at the zoo entrance, the crowd of visitors instantly erupted in excitement.

"The director's here, the director's here!"

"Quick, make way for the director!"

"How many times has the director received recognition now?"

...

Amidst the crowd's discussion, Lin Feng approached Yang Lin with a smile, carrying a ceremonial banner.

"Director Yang, we meet again."

"I'll skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point."

"Bring everything over."

At Lin Feng's wave, several police officers approached carrying various items.

Some held plaques, others carried trays, and some held certificates.

But what excited Yang Lin most was the oversized check.

Seeing the string of zeros and the number 5 at the beginning, Yang Lin knew this was no ordinary occasion.

"On behalf of all Ningnan citizens, I want to express our gratitude for Director Yang's efforts in this operation."

"Here's your certificate, this is the plaque for Ningnan's Premium 5A-level tourist attraction, and these are your rewards from both the previous and current incidents, totaling five million yuan."

As he spoke, Lin Feng handed the pile of items to Yang Lin.

Seeing this, the visitors and reporters immediately started taking photos and videos with their phones and cameras.

Just when Yang Lin thought it was over, Lin Feng suddenly spoke again.

"Of course, we're not just recognizing Director Yang personally today. Considering the performance of your park's animals, we've also prepared a special gift for them."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Yang Lin was first stunned, then asked curiously,

"What did you prepare for them?"

However, Lin Feng didn't immediately answer his question, instead looking into the park interior.

"Director Yang, would it be possible to call the Paw Patrol over?"

Though somewhat confused about why Lin Feng suddenly wanted to see the Paw Patrol, Yang Lin still pulled out his phone from his pocket.

After he dialed a number, Li Goudan, wearing a children's phone watch around his neck, came running over with the other Paw Patrol members.

"What's up, boss? Is it feeding time?"

As soon as he arrived, Li Goudan put his front paws on Yang Lin's shoulders.

Seeing this, the crowd burst into laughter.

At this moment, Lin Feng nodded to a police officer standing nearby.

Soon, the officer wheeled over a small cart.

Yang Lin looked closely and saw it was loaded with black vests emblazoned with police badges.

However, these vests were clearly not meant for humans.

"After upper management's decision, the Ningnan Criminal Investigation Brigade has decided to officially hire Li Goudan, Li Gousheng, and six other Paw Patrol members as official police dogs."

"They will receive official police dog status and enjoy all the benefits and allowances of active-duty police dogs."

"Of course, they won't need to report to the police station; they can stay at the zoo."

As Lin Feng finished speaking, officers immediately handed the vests from the cart to Yang Lin.

Looking at these smart black vests with police dog numbers and badges, Yang Lin was completely stunned.

Before he could react, Li Goudan immediately grabbed one of the vests with his mouth.

In front of everyone, he put on the police dog vest.

"Boss, this uniform is so cool, I love it!"

While expressing his excitement, Li Goudan directed the other dogs to put on their vests as well.

After all the dogs had independently put on their numbered police vests, the Paw Patrol's appearance transformed completely.

They went from looking like an undisciplined, irregular force to a proper military unit, giving off a reassuring presence from afar.

The visitors exclaimed how cool they looked.

Without a doubt, from this moment on, the Paw Patrol had transformed from a civilian organization into a special action team with official backing.

While everyone was expressing their amazement, Yang Lin asked a series of questions.

"Captain Lin, I'd like to ask, does this mean they're officially enlisted now? How much is their monthly salary and allowance?"

Obviously not expecting this question, Lin Feng paused before answering:

"Official police dogs receive a monthly food allowance of 18,000 yuan."

"Of course, this varies somewhat depending on the breed and specific duties."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, both Yang Lin and the visitors fell silent.

A monthly allowance of 18,000 yuan exceeded the salary of ninety percent of Ningnan's population.

After the silence, a smile appeared on Yang Lin's face - he could finally live off his dogs.
