Wang Qian and Li Kun were honestly cleaning, Zhang Zi'an first went to the second floor to get his ID card, passport, household registration book, business license, real estate certificate and fixed passbook and everything that could prove his identity and fixed assets, and then glanced at Richard, who flew to his shoulder knowingly.

He left the store with Richard and reached for a taxi.

"Marina Bank. ”

Mr. Zhang went to the bank to print out the store's business records for the last few months, and then went straight to the U.S. consulate in Binhai. He has done everything he can to do, and as for whether he can pass the interview, he can only resign himself to fate.

If he hadn't had the CFA Tour invitation letter from Lauren and Tim, he would have had to go on a tourist visa, but with the invitation, it seems that a business visa is more certain. A business visa means that you are going to the United States to do business, to increase GDP in the United States, to increase jobs in the United States, so the visa is much less difficult.

In addition, having Richard in charge of talking to the visa officer will not be an obstacle in the language at least.

Fortunately, because his information was relatively well prepared, especially because he was the owner of a pet store and was invited by his American colleagues to participate in the competition, the visa officer believed that he did not plan to go to the United States to be a black account, so he did not make it too difficult for him, and successfully passed the interview.

Walking out of the consulate, Zhang Zi'an looked at the people who were waiting in a long line in the snow and anxiously waiting for the tourist interview, and there was a kind of snickering joy as a business elite looking around at a loss......

He was tempted to tell Lauren and Tim about the interview, but after thinking that they would have to sleep a lot when they arrived at the hotel, he didn't bother them, called a taxi, and went straight to Esplanade.

He carefully considered that if he wanted to meet Richard's request to fly in dignity, or even enjoy an in-flight meal, he could only give it a special identity - to prove that it was of great value to scientific research. Zhang Zi'an knew only one person who was qualified to issue such a certificate - Professor Wei Kang.

If he remembers correctly, Professor Wei Kang's institute has partnered with the Phoenix Bird House, which funds their research, and the Institute issues a certificate for the Phoenix Song Bird House so that it can bring some birds that are prohibited from trade under international wildlife protection laws into China, and skip the quarantine process at the border crossing.

So Zhang Zi'an went straight to Binhai University to find Weikang, he must know how to open a similar certificate.

Due to the bad weather, there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and there was no congestion along the way, and we soon arrived at Esplanade University.

He paid for the car, stood at the school gate, and sent a message to Weikang.

Zhang Zi'an: Professor Wei, I want to ask you for help, is it convenient for me to go to you now?

He and Weikang can only be regarded as acquaintances, not to mention how familiar they are, it is not good to visit rashly, and Weikang may be in class or doing experiments now, whether it is out of politeness or whatever, it is best to make an appointment first.

During the period when Wei Kang replied, his eyes were not idle, but it was a pity that on this snowy day, even the girls who were most persistent in short skirts obediently wore trousers, which made him have no chance to feast his eyes.

When he went out, he wore a hooded jacket. Richard got out of the stealth state, hid in the hood to keep warm, only poked his head out, whenever a handsome boy passed by, it would always whistle at people flirtatiously, and when people looked back, it quickly retracted into the hood, leaving Zhang Zi'an and others staring at each other......

If the other party is a boy from the Northeast, he will leave a classic sentence - "What are you looking at?"

Lao Cha was not around, and lent Zhang Zi'an a few guts, but he didn't dare to reply-"What are you doing?" could only silently turn his head to look away......

Fortunately, this kind of torment did not last long, and he received a reply from Weikang on his mobile phone.

Wei Kang: Yes, I'm in the office of the Central Teaching Building.

On a snowy day, even the pedestrians on campus are sparsely populated, and there is a skinny and small boy practicing shooting in the snow on the basketball court, which is usually full of youth and hormones. Speaking of which, Zhang Zi'an also had a similar time, in order to win the favor and scream of girls, he ran to practice alone after others rested...... Although there is an inspirational beginning, there is no inspirational ending to match, and chicken soup is not always boiled.

After entering the central teaching building, it was not cold, Richard jumped out of his hood and stood on Zhang Zi'an's shoulder, looking at the students and teachers around him proudly.

It is rare to see people wandering around with parrots, especially this parrot is big and vigorous, which naturally attracts the attention of many people, especially female students and female teachers, who pointed at Richard and Zhang Zi'an, with indescribable envy in their tones, and even someone ran over to ask Zhang Zi'an, where did this parrot come from?

Taking the elevator to the floor where Weikang's office is located, Zhang Zi'an warned Richard before entering the door and told him not to behave too much inside. They just came to ask for a permit to fly an animal with scientific value, and they didn't want to be sent directly to the dissection room to be sliced and studied.

There was a knock on the door, and he pushed it in.

Wei Kang was still the same, wearing a rustic black jacket, sitting at his desk flipping through most academic books, and occasionally picking up a pen to sketch or mark something on the page. Zhang Zi'an knows that people can't look good, Wei Kang just doesn't care about what he wears, to say that he is a university professor and a consultant of the Phoenix Song Aviary is very poor, that is a big joke.

"Professor Wei, I'm sorry to interrupt, are you busy?" Zhang Zi'an greeted.

"It's okay, it's not busy. Wei Kang stood up and his gaze fell on Richard, "This is your very smart parrot?"

When they met by chance at the Fengming Aviary, Wei Kang overheard Guo Dongyue mention that there was a particularly smart parrot in Zhang Zi'an's shop, so he was concerned. As a professor of biology and an advisor to the Phoenix Birdhouse, he instantly recognized it as an adult African grey parrot.

"Hello, I'm Richard. Richard spoke.

Weikang is not surprised, but just looks at it with the eyes of a scientific researcher.

"Hey, old man, someone else is saying hello to you!" cried Richard, dissatisfied, as his tone changed.

"Huh?" Wei Kang was shocked, this parrot still has this kind of reaction? Was it trained by Zhang Zi'an?

"Auntie, what aunt?

Zhang Zi'an held his forehead with his hand speechlessly, and just a few seconds after warning it, it became arrogant again.

"Can this parrot understand me?" asked Wei Kang in disbelief.

Zhang Zi'an said cautiously: "I can understand some of it......"

"I mean 'understood'!" Wei Kang emphasized.

Richard couldn't bear it any longer, and flapped his wings and shouted, "Quack, old man, even if you look down on people, don't look down on birds!"

Wei Kang stood stunned, staring at Richard in a daze, not in the slightest offending by his words.

He had heard that some parrots could understand human speech and even communicate with people normally, but as a researcher, he always reserved some skepticism until he saw it with his own eyes. However, at this time, the gray parrot's performance made him have to believe that it could indeed understand his language, and even became angry because of the "disbelief" in his language.

Zhang Zi'an said in a timely manner: "Professor Wei, I am going to take this parrot to the United States recently to give it an intelligence test, but what about it...... You know that pets are very troublesome to fly, so I have the cheekiness to come over and ask you to issue a certificate to prove that it is not an ordinary pet, but an important scientific research object, do you think it is okay?"

Wei Kang frowned, "We also have many institutions in China that can do the intelligence test of animals, why do you want to go to the United States to do it? If you want, I can introduce you to a place, I have friends who work there......"

"No need. You know, people always think that the moon is rounder abroad, and that foreign institutions are more authoritative. Zhang Zi'an politely refused. Although the reason is nonsense, this sentence itself is also true, and winning ten awards in China is not as good as winning a small award abroad to create a sensational effect.

Wei Kang sighed, "Well, it's not difficult to open this proof, and it does deserve this proof." But you have to be careful on the road, such a precious parrot can't be accidentally injured or anything, and you must bring it back with all its tails. ”

"Don't worry. Zhang Zi'an thought for a while, and then said: "Why don't you also give a certificate to my cat? I will also take it with me when I go to the United States this time." ”

He felt that due to the recent deaths, Fina's anger level was close to the critical level, and if he didn't do something to please him, something would probably go wrong......

“…… Well, but the primitive Egyptian cat is extremely precious, you have to be very careful! Fortunately, you are going to the United States, not Egypt, otherwise it is estimated that you will not be able to bring it back......" Wei Kang shook his head very sadly, sat back at his desk, and issued two certificates for Zhang Zi'an, stamped with the official seal of Binhai University and his own signature.

Everything is ready, and it's finally time to go.
