When there was only one minute left before the auction ended, someone directly raised the price by 100,000, bidding 2 million for the blue-and-purple macaw. This made Su Zhe's heart race. After that, no other buyers bid, and the macaw was successfully auctioned for 2 million.
The auction website's backend sent a message indicating that the auction was successful, the buyer had already made the payment, and it prompted Su Zhe to ship the item as soon as possible. Once the buyer confirmed receipt, the money would be transferred to Su Zhe.
When Su Zhe saw this message, his entire body relaxed, and the heavy burden in his heart disappeared. Now that the blue-and-purple macaw had been auctioned for 2 million, after buying Li Xin's pet hospital, he would still have 1 million left to maintain the hospital's operations and for any unexpected needs.
The pet hospital was the first step in Su Zhe's development of his Supreme System, and it was extremely important. Although it didn't have to be Li Xin's pet hospital, Li Xin's was the most suitable at the moment, and the price was much cheaper compared to other pet hospitals with similar conditions.
The next day, Su Zhe got up very early. However, when he got up, An Xin was already there, preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
He greeted An Xin and went to the bathroom to wash up. After he finished, An Xin had already prepared breakfast and placed it on the table, waiting for him to eat. She then started tidying up the room.
Su Zhe didn't wake the baby and ate by himself.
After finishing breakfast, he went back to his room to change out of his pajamas. He told An Xin that if the baby woke up and looked for him, she should say that he had gone out. He noticed that An Xin's eyes were even redder than yesterday, and her complexion was even paler. She probably hadn't slept all night, but he didn't know what she had been doing. He could only remind An Xin to get some rest and that if she had any unsolvable problems, she could talk to him, and perhaps he could help.
Seeing that An Xin didn't intend to tell him anything, he left with the two blue-and-purple macaws.
On the way, the blue-and-purple macaws attracted many people's attention, and some people even followed Su Zhe until he got into his car and left.
At first, the driver was reluctant to take Su Zhe, although he found the blue-and-purple macaws beautiful and attractive. If the macaws defecated in the car, it wouldn't be a pleasant experience.
However, Su Zhe assured the driver that the two blue-and-purple macaws would not defecate in the car. If they did, Su Zhe would pay the car rental fee and an additional 200 yuan for cleaning. Only then did the driver agree to take him.
Su Zhe placed the blue-and-purple macaws in the back seat and sat in the passenger seat.
When they arrived at the destination, the driver carefully checked the back seat. Unfortunately, it was clean, and the blue-and-purple macaws had not defecated in the car. Naturally, Su Zhe didn't have to pay the cleaning fee. He paid the car rental fee and left with the macaws, leaving the driver feeling disappointed.
Yesterday, Su Zhe hadn't expected to auction the blue-and-purple macaws so quickly. If he had known, he wouldn't have had to make this trip today.
Su Zhe took the blue-and-purple macaws to the animal quarantine department, where they immediately caught everyone's attention. He followed the procedures to obtain quarantine certificates for the two macaws.
It was still early, and most of the people in the quarantine department were staff members. Although the blue-and-purple macaws were very attractive, the staff members didn't dare to approach them during working hours, which saved Su Zhe a lot of time dealing with them.
He quickly obtained the quarantine certificates and left the department.
The driver who had brought Su Zhe there was still waiting at the entrance, so Su Zhe naturally took his car again.
This time, the driver didn't mention the possibility of the macaws defecating in the car or the cleaning fee. He directly took Su Zhe to the airport.
However, when they arrived at the airport and Su Zhe got out of the car, the driver still carefully checked the back seat, but he was disappointed again.
With yesterday's experience, Su Zhe was more familiar with the process this time. He first bought two airline crates.
This time, he fed the blue-and-purple macaws some food and water before placing them in the crates. Unlike turtles, parrots cannot go for long periods without eating, so it was better to feed them before they were put on the plane.
After filling out the air waybill, presenting the quarantine certificates, attaching the labels, paying the fees, and passing the security check, the blue-and-purple macaws were taken to the oxygen cabin of the plane by the staff. Su Zhe was lucky; both times he transported animals by air, the flights had oxygen cabins.
Moreover, besides this flight, there were no oxygen cabins available for the next three days.
After everything was done and the blue-and-purple macaws were on the plane, Su Zhe called the buyer as usual to remind them to pick up the macaws on time.
Since the airline required customers to handle the procedures 3 hours before the flight, Su Zhe always arrived at the airport 3 hours early. Since staying at the airport was pointless, Su Zhe left. The plane had not yet taken off and would not do so for another 3 hours.
On the way home, there was a traffic jam. The driver suggested that Su Zhe get out of the car and walk home, as it was unclear how long the traffic would be blocked. If Su Zhe got out, the driver could turn around without getting stuck.
Su Zhe saw that his home was not far away, so he got out of the car and decided to walk home. Since he had nothing to do, he wasn't in a hurry to get home. He walked slowly, enjoying the scenery along the way.
As he walked, he passed by the place where he used to sell small turtles. At this time, some people had already set up stalls. He slowed down and browsed each stall.
Since he used to come here mainly to make money, and now he was just wandering around, he noticed some interesting things he hadn't seen before.
When he passed a stall selling herbs, Su Zhe stopped. An elderly person was asking the stall owner about the price, and the price the owner quoted caught his attention. However, the elderly person seemed to have no objections to the high price, as if the herbs were worth it.
Su Zhe didn't know much about herbs and didn't know what the elderly person was buying. He just felt inspired by the high price of the herbs.
