I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Journalist Contact



[Mission: The advancing zoo 1

Description: There are too few visitors to the zoo, let\'s get more people to come and visit!

Requirement: The number of daily visitors to break through 100, charge~

Reward: 1000 green leaf coins, deworming pill *1]

"That\'s too little, not even enough to cover the small expenses," Fang Ye said with a laugh and a cry. However, looking at the digits after the task, it seems to be a serial mission, the first one offers a smaller reward, the requirements are also simple. Could there be follow-ups?

The deworming pill is not bad; it can help the animals expel parasites from their bodies, but the animals in the zoo are all healthy at the moment and don\'t need it. Save it for later, then.

Just then, his cellphone suddenly rang.

"Hello, how are you?"

A sweet female voice came from the other end: "Hello Director Fang, I am Mi Jin, a reporter from Green Coastal! We spoke on the phone last time, and we plan to come to your zoo tomorrow to film and collect some material, just wanted to coordinate with you in advance!"

"Oh!"

Fang Ye immediately perked up.

After Old Wang went back, he gave him several reporters\' contacts, and Fang Ye touched base with them one by one, but these reporters didn\'t seem very interested in Linhai Zoo, just offering polite pleasantries, saying they would feature it if they had the chance, and then nothing further happened.

And what\'s this Green Coastal? It doesn\'t sound familiar.

Whatever, even a mosquito is still meat.

He said enthusiastically, "Are you coming for an interview? Do we need to prepare anything on our side?"

"No need, no need, we just want to shoot the scenery of the zoo."

"Alright, let me know if you need anything."

"You\'re too kind, Director Fang."

After the call ended, Mi Jin\'s eyes gleamed with full vigor: "Such great material, I must write an article with high readership!"

Green Coastal is a new media public account set up by the Linhai City official to bid for the creation of a National Civilized City, and the content it usually publishes includes everyday citizen life, urban aesthetics, and landscape features.

It sounds quite upscale, but in fact, most of the articles offer no substance.

For example, the traffic police team recently held a traffic safety conference, the city management is planning an urban appearance rectification for the streets...

Then there are minor everyday affairs like some building just finished construction, or a street has just built a garden and installed fitness equipment...

Because the content is very mundane and even dull, the public account is mostly followed out of courtesy by internal staff, and most articles only get dozens of views.

The higher-ups actually don\'t expect Green Coastal to perform that well, and just use it as an additional component to boost the city\'s bid to become a civilized city; the entire account is managed by a two-person team.

But Mi Jin still wanted to achieve something.

After Fang Ye made the calls, reporters from places like the Linhai Daily had their schedules filled to the brim with so much to cover in the science park—one day packed with interviews about new technologies, endeavors, lectures, IPOs, sudden deaths, bankruptcies... who would be interested in covering a nondescript zoo?

Only Mi Jin lacked material, always pondering where to find a compelling article.

Today, after finishing another piece on Linhai\'s sanitation work, she remembered the prior contact with Linhai Zoo and searched just in time to see Fang Ye live streaming.

She was surprised to find out when Linhai had such a great zoo, with lively and cute animals and very beautiful scenery!

There was no doubt that it fell within the reporting scope of "Green Coastal."

Mi Jin couldn\'t wait to visit the zoo for a thorough tour and then write up an article about it!

...

The next day.

Tang Xiaoxin and her good friend Qian Keke had agreed to go to Linhai Zoo for fun today; they met up in front of the bus station.

"Keke!"

Tang Xiaoxin was wearing a light pink top and red shorts today, carrying a red panda backpack, looking full of energy.

She arrived at the train station early and excitedly jumped on the spot to wave at Qian Keke, her twin ponytails bouncing up and down.

Qian Keke, with a shark backpack on her back, had half a piece of bread in her mouth and a box of milk in her hand, which seemed to indicate she had brought her breakfast with her.

"Sizzle sizzle~"

Qian Keke, with her cheeks puffed up, finished the bread and milk in just a few bites, threw the milk box into the trash can, and hugged Tang Xiaoxin, her voice quivering, "Xiaoxin! You have no idea what happened yesterday..."

She chirped about how she couldn\'t solve a very simple problem at the cram school and got scolded by the teacher.

"Don\'t worry, mathematics is all about having an epiphany. When I was 4 years old and learning that 2×2 equals 4, my mom must have taught me dozens of times, and I still couldn\'t get it. She had almost given up hope, thinking I was just bad at math. Then, one day, after waking up from a long sleep, I suddenly knew how to solve it.

It must be that you\'re just too tired from all the extra classes. Today, we\'ll have a blast at the zoo and properly relax."

Tang Xiaoxin, with her eyebrows dancing with excitement, said, "Let me tell you, the zoo just got a pair of red pandas and they are so cute! They have a few white patches on their cheeks and tails about this~ long..."

"Really?"

"Yes, yes, and the peafowl, they are especially pretty!"

Little girls together always have endless things to talk about.

The bus arrived.

The two little darlings sat holding hands in the back, chatting happily, and before they knew it, they had arrived.

At the same time, Mi Jin had also driven to the outside of Linhai Zoo.

She drove leisurely outside for a while until she finally found a parking space.

The parking area was very small, with a capacity of only thirty cars, and the road surface was rough, littered with gravel and small stones, and even many weeds stubbornly sprouted through the cracks in the pavement.

"How long has it been since someone used this?" Mi Jin thought critically to herself.

However, she had done her homework beforehand and knew that Linhai Zoo had been struggling for over a decade, even on the verge of closing down. It was only in the past few months that the new director, Fang Ye, took over and things began to change.

In such a short time, the improvement to the zoo\'s environment was already quite impressive.

Mi Jin took her camera from the passenger seat as she got out of the car, looking like any ordinary tourist.

That\'s right, she managed all the photography for the articles herself.

Green Coastal wasn\'t highly valued by upper management, staffing just two people, so there was no way they could assign a dedicated photographer.

This was also one of the reasons why Mi Jin wanted to make a mark for herself!

...

Today, the zoo seemed a bit more bustling than usual.

It was now 9 o\'clock in the morning, and normally at this time, there wouldn\'t be any visitors in sight, but now several people had already bought tickets and gone in.

After the two little misses paid for their tickets, they entered the zoo.

Qian Keke exclaimed in surprise, "The ticket is only 5 green leaf coins, so affordable!"

Tickets are 10 green leaf coins, half-price for students!

A cup of milk tea on the street now costs more than 10 green leaf coins.

So cheap, can they make any money?

Tang Xiaoxin secretly thought to herself, "After today\'s visit, I\'ll have to talk to Brother Fang Ye, the tickets are too cheap!"

Green grass shaded by trees, canopies like umbrellas, and bushes interspersed among them, the vast expanse of greenery was instantly refreshing to behold.

"Xiaoxin, the environment here is so wonderful!"

Qian Keke was already running ahead at this point, her hands in the air as she twirled on one foot with joy.

"How about that, wasn\'t I right?" Tang Xiaoxin immediately felt a sense of pride.

However, she was also a bit puzzled, as she didn\'t remember seeing these big trees during her last visit?

Just then, they noticed a group of visitors ahead, gathered around and seeming to be taking photos with their phones.

Both of them were curious, exchanged a look, "Shall we go take a look?"
