Super Zoo

After receiving two text messages, Su Ming hesitated for a moment.

If it were in the past, he would have chosen the pharmaceutical company without even thinking about it.

On the one hand, the profession is suitable, even if he starts from the lowest technician, as long as there are no accidents, he can always be promoted step by step by step.

On the other hand, the treatment of medical technology is much better than that of places like zoos, and it is more respectable to say that you are a technician.

Although the zoo is a public institution, the country has been transforming in recent years, and public institutions have gradually moved closer to enterprises. New employees have to pay for their own insurance and so on. Public institutions are not as popular as before.

As a public welfare institution, even if the situation of the zoo is better, the establishment is definitely very tight.

In fact, the recruitment information of the zoo clearly stated that it recruits contract workers, not establishment.

One is a "scientific and technological worker" with good treatment, promising future, professional match, and face; the other is a temporary worker doing odd jobs in the zoo. The two are completely on different levels. As long as the brain is not broken, it is easy to make a choice.

But now Su Ming has an instinctive aversion to pharmaceutical companies, especially to working in pharmaceutical companies.

In order to study new drugs, test drug effects and other reasons, pharmaceutical companies generally use small animals for experiments, and most of them are live experiments.

Su Ming also used animals such as mice and rabbits for experiments in university laboratories. At first, there was a little psychological barrier, but he got used to it over time.

There is no way around it. You can't use living people for experiments.

But after having the ability of "Friends of Animals" and being able to communicate with animals, Su Ming instinctively feels close to animals.

Animals are animals, and they are definitely not as important as humans. But if Su Ming is asked to personally dissect a group of lives that can "communicate" with him, he really can't do it.

After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to apply for a job at the zoo, and put the pharmaceutical company aside for the time being, and talk about it if it really doesn't work.

…

“Yangchuan Wildlife Park is located on the edge of Yangchuan City, 15 kilometers away from the city center. It is backed by mountains and faces the water, close to the edge of the Qinling Mountains, facing the Huating Reservoir, and has a beautiful geographical environment…

The zoo was built in early 1976. After more than 40 years of continuous construction, it covers an area of ​​120 hectares. There are artificial lakes, park areas, botanical gardens, and free-range animal areas in the park. The mountains are undulating, the grass is lush, and the air is fresh. There are more than 100 species of animals on display, more than 3,000 heads (individuals), including…

…”

On the bus to the zoo for an interview, Su Ming took his mobile phone to the official website of Yangchuan Wildlife Park and took a brief look at the zoo introduction.

When applying for a job, you may be asked questions related to the zoo. It is better to cram at the last minute than not to cram.

Su Ming went to school in Yangchuan for a few years and went to the wildlife park several times, so he has some understanding.

The wildlife park has a history of several decades in Yangchuan. It was originally an ordinary small zoo, and then it gradually grew. It can be said that it is an important childhood memory in the hearts of the locals of Yangchuan City.

The location of the zoo is indeed very good. Just as the official website describes, it is backed by mountains and faces the water, and the air is fresh. In today's city where there is haze for half a year, the zoo is definitely a good place for leisure and entertainment. There are not only animals in it, but also parks such as forests, rockery and artificial lakes. You can also climb mountains and swim in the lakes around it. Moreover, the transportation is very convenient. It can be reached in half an hour by car from the city center. It can almost be regarded as a part of the city.

However, Su Ming's past few visits to the wildlife park were very average, not as prosperous as described on the official website. It may be due to management and national funding issues. There is a lot of vacant land in the zoo, and many animals are also half-dead. The last time I went to see it, the tigers were so thin that it was heartbreaking, and two rows of ribs were protruding.

This is also in line with the characteristics of a "non-profit" institution: not good or bad, not up or down, easy and stable, and live one day at a time.

Soon I arrived at the zoo. After explaining the purpose of the visit to the security uncle, I came to a three-story building in the northeast of the zoo under the guidance of the security uncle.

The first floor of the small building is a small shop, selling drinks, sausages and the like for tourists to rest. However, the things are ridiculously expensive. A bottle of mineral water that costs 1.5 yuan in the market is only 3 yuan here.

Even so, the business is quite good. There are more than 20 people gathered at the entrance of the small shop with a few square meters of storefront.

A middle-aged woman in her forties walked out of the small building with a megaphone in her hand:

"Comrades who come to participate in the job application, please hand in your resume to me, and then go to the 103 conference room to take the first round of written test. After the written test, the director will interview in person, and finally select the best candidates based on the results of the written test and interview."

Su Ming was stunned. It turned out that this group of people were not tourists, but job applicants? !

Su Ming was immediately under great pressure. There were more than 20 competitors for a temporary worker position. His major was not suitable, and he had no work experience. He had no idea what the zoo would test on.

"Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it." That's all he could think of now. Su Ming handed in his resume and went to conference room 103 with a large group of competitors.

The conference room was well decorated, but Su Ming didn't have the energy to look at the surroundings. He quickly opened Baidu on his phone and searched for 'zoo written test questions'.

"Guangzhou Zoo keeper interview questions"

"Are there any questions for the Suzhou Zoo recruitment exam? Is the exam difficult?"

…

A large number of messages came out, and Su Ming was just about to click on one when the middle-aged sister from earlier walked in again, holding a stack of test papers in her arms.

"Comrades, the test papers are being handed out now. Please turn off your mobile phones. You are not allowed to whisper or pass notes during the written test. If you are found to have cheated, your qualifications will be cancelled."

Su Ming could only turn off his phone and look around.

There is a faint fragrance of mothballs in the conference room. If this thing is present, snakes, insects, rats, ants and small animals will stay away, and even the last glimmer of hope of cheating is gone.

After getting the test paper, Su Ming glanced at it quickly and almost spit out a mouthful of blood!

"The average lifespan of a giant panda, A20 years B25 years C30 years D40 years"

"Among the following animals, the ones that belong to the second-class national protected animals are (multiple choices) A ​​white ibis B Songjiang perch C golden monkey D tiger-spotted baby E wild yak"

"Please briefly describe the feeding precautions for sika deer during the estrus period from aspects such as food preparation and environment."

…

This is so damn professional!

Isn’t Songjiang seabass a dish? I don’t even have a girlfriend, and the sika deer is in heat. Does that have anything to do with me? If there's anything you need to pay attention to, just do it...

Almost at the same time, there was a gasp in the conference room. It seemed that everyone was stumped.

Fortunately, Su Ming has quite a lot of experience in taking exams, and he also has a set of methods to deal with questions that he doesn't know. For multiple-choice questions, he rolls the dice and points. Whether he knows the questions or not, he must fill in all the answers...

After a lot of guessing and nonsense, I finally finished all the papers.

Next comes the interview.

Director Song is in his fifties, but he already has gray hair. His face is serious and solemn, but his tone of voice is quite kind.

Su Ming had read Director Song's introduction online before. He graduated from a well-known university and was an authority in the field of animal research and protection in China.

Director Song carefully read Su Ming's resume and written test paper, and then talked with Su Ming for about ten minutes, asking common recruitment topics such as why he came to the zoo.

"Classmate Xiao Su, our position is mainly about raising and managing animals. I'm afraid just relying on love is not enough. There is still a certain gap between your professionalism and experience and our requirements. As the director of the park, I must be responsible for the animals here. , hope you can understand."

"I understand, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Su Ming stood up and smiled bitterly. The other party's intention was very clear, he would not hire him.

"But you are still welcome to visit the zoo often. Today's young people are becoming less and less fond of animals."

Director Song also stood up and nodded to Su Ming: "Please help me call the next comrade to apply."

Su Ming turned around and opened the office door. Before he could go out, the middle-aged sister rushed in in a panic and bumped into Su Ming head-on.

The middle-aged elder sister didn't care about Su Ming at all. She looked extremely nervous and her voice changed to emphasize: "Something big happened, Principal Song! A child fell into the monkey mountain!"
