The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 229 - 228: Promotion and Fortune!

Xu Ying crouched down, squinting at the little foxes peeking around the door: "Babies, why didn’t you open the door for Brother Qi Xiao earlier? Let him come inside and wait."

Fox Sansan blinked its round eyes and said in a childish voice: [Daddy Brother said he wants to play outside with us.]

Fox Xiao Wu nodded as well: [He must be like us, waiting at the rescue station door when sister is not around, so he can see her come back right away!]

Xu Ying was taken aback, then her lips curled up uncontrollably. She reached out to rub the heads of the two little foxes: "Let’s go, go back and wash your paws and sleep."

Sweet dreams.

The time was now 8:30 in the morning.

Xu Ying was awakened by the sound of a text message while in a drowsy dream.

She drowsily opened her eyes and glanced at the phone screen.

The message content on the screen came into view.

"[China Merchants Bank] On December 11th at 08:47, an amount of 2,391,536 yuan was credited to your account 2341..."

Hmm, a transfer of 2.39 million?

Xu Ying’s eyes widened instantly, and her sleepiness vanished.

Is this the payment for filming the variety show?

Xu Ying counted the zeros repeatedly.

After a while, her phone rang, and it was a call from Director Shao, the chief director of the "Desert Survival Law" program.

Director Shao: "Little Xu Station Chief, a portion of the first episode’s earnings has already been credited to your account. Did you receive it?"

Hearing that this was just part of the show’s earnings, Xu Ying was so happy she rolled around on the bed, but she pretended to be calm on the surface and cleared her throat: "Received, not bad."

Director Shao: "As long as you are satisfied. This is just the first episode, and our ratings are already number one across the network. Millions of viewers are waiting for our second episode’s live broadcast."

The first episode of "Desert Survival Law" had set a new record for live-variety shows in Dragon Country, and the edited highlights were also going viral among netizens. Classic clips such as Xu Ying scolding people, Xu Ying taming horses, and celebrity guests shoveling camel dung were widely shared and circulated online.

After one episode, Xu Ying’s fame was already on par with top-tier stars.

Snow Wave Video executives, the program team director, and investors already knew who was the standout in this show.

Just from this one episode, Xu Ying had gone from a background guest supporting celebrity guests to the core highlight directing the show’s rhythm.

Director Shao was calling to inform Xu Ying about shooting the second episode: "We are preparing the recording for the second episode, ready to shoot at West Mountain Snow Mountain."

Xu Ying was surprised: "West Mountain Snow Mountain? What a coincidence?"

Isn’t this a chance to go back and see old friends! Getting paid for a family visit, perfect!

Director Shao sensed Xu Ying’s surprise and laughed: "Indeed, it’s quite a coincidence. When planning the whole season, we considered the famous spots in Xizhou Province, such as West Mountain."

"Then, by chance, Ranger Mr. Qin from there informed us that you had come to West Mountain to return animals kidnapped by Fur Farm."

After discussing with the program team and the top management, West Mountain was quickly chosen as the location for the second episode.

"Our next episode will begin filming next Friday night, and all the equipment for Snow Mountain will be provided by the sponsor. Little Xu Station Chief, you just need to show up."

After hanging up, Xu Ying could clearly feel Director Shao being much more polite to her. Is this what it feels like to be famous?

However, Xu Ying, being in the desert, doesn’t really perceive "popularity," and the explosion in fame does not negatively affect her daily outings.

Xu Ying opened the phone’s backend to see countless collaboration requests via private messages. It’s unavoidable now; she must hire an assistant and volunteers.

Estimating the time, Xu Ying gave Director Yi a call to inquire if the documents for hiring assistants and volunteers had been approved.

The rescue station, being an in-house entity, can’t just recruit staff as easily as a private company.

Director Yi laughed on the other end of the line: "Little Xu Station Chief, did you hear something? I was just about to call you!"

He continued in a cheerful tone: "The documents to recruit a commercial assistant and rescue station volunteers have already been approved for you. However, there’s also some good news to share with you—"

Director Yi deliberately paused, his voice filled with excitement: "The sports training base for animal trainers is already under intense preparation!"

"Your actions of exterminating rats with the animal squad, forming a rat-catching team, and catching spies have really impressed the leaders!"

"The leaders highly appreciate your contributions to promoting harmony between humans and animals, as well as the strategic significance."

Director Yi’s voice became solemn, "Considering the increasing number of affairs you’ll have to handle, the organization has decided to equip you with a professional team, selected and sent from the Capital."

A professional team sent from the Capital to help her manage the rescue station?

Wow, what kind of high-level personnel would be in this professional team?

Xu Ying was almost overwhelmed by this boon from the heavens. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"This team is no ordinary one," Director Yi recounted detail after detail, his tone tinged with envy. This level of treatment is truly unprecedented!

"There’s a secretary to manage daily logistics, a bodyguard to ensure safety, a veterinarian to care for the animals’ health, and a chef responsible for meals... In the future, tasks like cleaning the camels’ water troughs and tending to the vegetable garden can be left to the assistants!"

"You just need to use your Beast Language skill for the relevant work."

Xu Ying’s heart sped up, and she couldn’t help but ask curiously: "So, roughly how many people are in this professional team? Where will they stay?"

"Around eight to nine people, I reckon," Director Yi estimated, "As the scale of the rat-catching team and the sports training base expands, the organization will likely send more people."

"Didn’t you also apply to build ten reusable employee accommodations near the rescue station?"

Director Yi chuckled: "The state has covered the expenses for that."

A second boon from above left Xu Ying bemused again. The official patron is not only providing manpower but also funding, leaving her no chance to spend money!

"The professional team from the Capital will arrive before the recording of your second episode, so you can proceed with peace of mind to film at West Mountain."

After hanging up, Xu Ying’s smile lingered long on her face.

She’s actually going to have her own personal secretary and chef, something even Director Yi doesn’t have!

Is she about to rise in rank and fortune?

Xu Ying happily hugged the ear fox and sand cat at the rescue station for a while.

The drowsy Tusun also received a hearty hug from her.

It was only after some time that Tusun opened its eyes, dazedly glanced around: [Who was hugging me just now?]

Xu Ying hummed a tune while having breakfast. Just as she finished and was about to clear the dishes, the small door left for the little animals at the rescue station was pushed open, and a sand rat squeezed in.

[Little Xu Station Chief, we’ve found traces of those poachers!]

Xu Ying immediately put down the dishes, grabbed the emergency backpack placed by the rescue station door, "Quick, take me to see!"
