The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 118: Thicker Skin Than Tree Bark

Not long after Xu Ying arrived at the rescue station, she was asked to diagnose in the control room and had no chance to report the incident she witnessed in the car, where the Lingsi Photography Team abused animals, to headquarters.

Qi Xiao, having heard Xu Ying angrily rant in the car, knew she was very concerned about the matter. After settling the invoices at headquarters, he reported it to Director Yi.

When Xu Ying heard Director Yi’s words, she winked at Qi Xiao and whispered, "Thank you!"

The girl’s almond eyes were unusually bright, so bright that Qi Xiao couldn’t help but avert his eyes, glancing sideways and nodding slightly: "You’re welcome."

Director Yi searched for Lingsi Photography’s account on his phone, frowning as he looked at it.

With thirty years in the profession, he quickly spotted the peculiarity of this account.

The account updated almost daily, with each work being a specially polished final piece. If these weren’t leftover from long-term shooting, it likely involved special methods to achieve such a high production rate.

The experienced wildlife photographers he knew spent weeks in disguise in the jungle to capture footage of leopards hunting, living like primitives, remaining motionless for hours when encountering subjects, fearing to disturb their normal lives.

Some spend years researching various wildlife habits, learning climbing techniques and remote control shooting technology...

However, the Lingsi Photography Team always photographed small animals that seemed easy to manipulate.

With so many suspicions, there was definitely something wrong.

Director Yi frowned: "We can’t report the Lingsi Photography account right now; we can only punish them if caught in the act."

Xu Ying’s skill to understand Beast Language was formidable, but from a legal standpoint, her words could only be referred to and not directly used as evidence.

"I hope these people behave in our sea of death, not courting disaster."

Xu Ying sighed softly.

The ear fox babies saw the station chief sister speaking seriously with Director Yi, looking worried, and couldn’t help but ask: [Sister, what’s going on?]

"There’s a black-hearted photography team taking pictures of small animals that came to our desert for traffic. They used glue and wire on small animals for shooting before."

The fox cubs shuddered uncontrollably upon hearing this, too scary!

Vice Director Kuang, sitting in the control room watching Xu Ying in the limelight, hadn’t spoken. Now, he finally had a chance to critique Xu Ying.

Kuang Ming said sourly at this moment: "Isn’t it all because you did some live streaming that made the ear fox and desert governance area go viral online, attracting so many bad people?"

Fox Boss gasped in Kuang Ming’s direction: [How did this old man become the sister’s leader?]

Director Yi showed a disapproving expression upon hearing this, criticizing Kuang Ming directly as his superior: "Old Kuang, have you smoked so much that it fried your brain?"

Xu Ying snickered at Director Yi’s words, feeling she couldn’t be angry at Kuang Ming anymore. This old guy’s words were too down-to-earth.

"The organization encourages us to promote the desert governance area online, calling for public attention. Xiao Xu did it and did it successfully—that’s praiseworthy."

Director Yi scolded Kuang Ming harshly: "Last month, our desert governance area’s revenue hit a record high, and the Qiao Family’s donation of a large pet hospital in the desert area was approved—are you unclear about whose merits these are?"

"Don’t eat meat from the bowl and then curse your mother after putting down your chopsticks."

Kuang Ming’s face turned red at the last comment, "Director Yi, that’s not even the right usage of that saying. I’m several rounds older than this girl."

Yi Yuanzhou got angrier: "You know you’re several rounds older, yet as a senior, you don’t take care of your juniors but rather find faults. I think your old face is thicker than poplar bark!"

"I’m busy working. You should be more tolerant at headquarters instead of making trouble for the young ones."

Xu Ying and all present staff felt rejuvenated and delighted!

Seeing Director Yi was done scolding, Xu Ying spoke up: "Director Yi, calm down, say no more. Director Kuang didn’t mean it, he’s probably just been overwhelmed with the desert governance area going viral lately, so he spoke without thinking."

Xu Ying then turned to "show concern" to Kuang Ming: "Director Kuang, if you’re exhausted, why not retire early? We young people can hold up the desert area."

Retire? Kuang Ming’s face stiffened, this girl’s abacus beads just hit him in the face.

"You think I should retire just like that? Not distinguishing between kings."

Kuang Ming left angrily, knowing that with Director Yi there, no matter how that stink girl bounced around, she wouldn’t get on top of him.

Kuang Ming comforted himself, as long as Xu Ying worked in the desert governance area for a day, he would forever be her superior!

After Kuang Ming left, the workers in the control room visibly relaxed, quietly giving Xu Ying a thumbs up.

Little Xu Station Chief, being the queen of performance, finally had young people to straighten out the workplace for them!

Fox Xiao Wu, having witnessed the recent squabble, poked its paw, lowered its little head, and felt somewhat guilty: [Is it because we’re too cute and too popular online that these bad guys were attracted?]

"It’s certainly not your fault." Xu Ying squatted down, holding Fox Xiao Wu’s chin with her palm, "Bad people are bad because of their nature, it’s not related to you."

"Even if the desert wasn’t popular, they’d still harm other small animals."

A chill flashed in Xu Ying’s eyes: "This time, it’s just the right place for them to come to the desert. If caught in the act, I’ll give them a wave of massive traffic!"

The little ear foxes cheered for Xu Ying: [Supporting sister to catch all these bad guys!]

[Station chief sister is super cool every time she punishes bad guys, hugs~]

The ice in Xu Ying’s eyes melted by the little foxes’ enthusiastic cheering, and she took out the food she brought for the cubs from her backpack.

Dairy bars and additive-free natural dried fruits were cut into small pieces with a knife and placed in the food bowl. These are hard for the cubs to digest, so they can only eat a little to taste.

However, Xu Ying had other plans, taking out small jars filled with dried insects, some types not found in the desert.

The ear fox’s diet is very broad, scientists have found over four hundred different types of food in their feces—almost anything non-toxic is edible, though tolerance needs to be considered.

"This is Snow Mountain snow flea, containing antifreeze protein. I wonder what it tastes like for you little foxes~"

"This one is a beetle..."

The fox cubs looked stunned at the novel foods, chomping down and chewing with crunching sound.

Fox Si stuffed it full in its cheeks: [I initially felt a bit sad with sister going on trips afar, but knowing she’d bring back foods we’ve never had before, sister, you’d better travel more often~
