Super Zoo

Chapter 393 You Set a Good Example

```

Qian's downfall happened swiftly and decisively, with no quarter given. He was directly expelled from the party membership. They didn't dismiss him from public office, but they did make him retire early. Barely in his forties, not yet fifty, and already retired—Qian certainly made a name for himself.

Suming was on his way back to the zoo.

Tony finally got to play the 'knight' he yearned to be, even though it was a knight that invaded a beauty salon. But the mere thought of upholding 'justice' made the young man's sense of honor soar. Zhao Yun, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised; initially, he thought Suming would resort to the old tactics using evidence to threaten and co-opt Qian. Instead, Suming handed the materials directly to Mr. Wu, allowing him to take them to the county office, bring Qian down honorably and squarely.

"Threaten and co-opt? That would be illegal," Suming shrugged, "Why would I take the crooked path when there's a straight one to walk?"

"Hm?" Zhao Yun squinted and smiled, "You never thought that he might eventually find out about the panda appearing in Sun Town and realize you were the one pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

"If he tells the investigators he got beat up by a panda, do you believe they might commit him to a mental hospital that very day? As for him figuring it out on his own..." Suming laughed nonchalantly, "Mr. Zhao, first, I haven't broken the law, and secondly, even if he finds out, what can he do?"

Indeed, there wasn't much he could do. Having a panda was legal, and Suming catching Qian red-handed was not entrapment. The punches he got from the panda wouldn't even count as minor injuries. At most, they'd compensate him with a few hundred yuan.

"You're now taking the dominant and straightforward approach," Zhao Yun joked, then analyzed, "But it's good this way too. There's no need to always try to curry favor. Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to be forceful. If you had gone to beg Qian, he might not have even cared."@@@@

The more Zhao Yun observed Suming, the more he felt that the lad was maturing too quickly. Always laughing and joking, but when it came to handling matters, he was second to none, even compared to those well-versed in political maneuvers.

Suming had only been back at the zoo for a couple of days before Wang Hao invited him over for a simple meal. After eating, Wang Jian She took Suming aside to talk in the study for over half an hour, implying through the conversation that he hoped the zoo would lead by example and further strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization.

"I should lead the way—oh no, the zoo should lead the way?"

"If not you, then who? The mayor praised you by name at the meeting." Wang Jian She glared, "What, are you unwilling?"

Suming wasn't unwilling—it was supporting the work of the city administration backed by Wang Jian She, and it was almost a duty. But he had some concerns and asked, "Mr. Wang... Err, I have no problem leading the way, but what exactly should we do? I've never really been in charge of this. Should we hold a mobilization meeting, help the elderly cross the street, donate to impoverished mountainous areas?"

If that was the case, it seemed rather superficial. Suming thought since he had decided to take the lead and support Wang Jian She's work, it should be done impressively. If the task Wang told him to carry out ended up being done perfunctorily, it wouldn't look good for Wang either.

Wang Jian She said with a chuckle, "As for the specific forms of spiritual civilization construction, we don't need to be confined to formalities. Each unit should develop its own plans based on its actual situation. For example, the city library is carrying out special reading events. Anything that enriches the spiritual lives of the people is good."

Wang Jian She's initiative to talk with Suming showed that the city was serious about the construction of spiritual civilization. Through Wang Hao, Wang Jian She also revealed a message: if the zoo ever aimed to be rated as a 3A or 4A tourist attraction, spiritual culture, or rather humanistic construction, was an important scoring factor, even a decisive one, more important than those criteria set on paper.

On his way back, Suming kept thinking about this matter. Several ideas came to mind, but none of them were fully formed, and as he pondered, they all seemed inadequate in one way or another, leading to their rejection.

As the saying goes, 'The wisdom of the crowd is greater than that of the few.' The zoo had many seasoned employees with a wealth of experience who might have some good suggestions. Therefore, after returning to the zoo, Suming specially convened a meeting. He gathered the zoo's key staff members and the older employees to brainstorm and decide what the zoo should do.
