Chapter 47: What to do if you have the support of the country but are very poor?
Si Junhe's face froze for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw Si Ran's mocking eyes.
Si Ran pulled up a smile and said, "Why is your memory so bad, Mr. Si? You don't remember my educational background?"
Si Junhe frowned. With so many bigwigs coming out to defend her, he couldn't believe Si Ran was so outstanding.
Mingming Si Ran was just a child from a remote mountainous area. He had not been to school much and had never had any classmates, friends or even teachers.
Si Ran clearly knew that her family misunderstood her, so why didn’t she say it at the beginning?
"Are you blaming us?" Si Junhe turned the tables and said, "Why didn't you tell us that you were studying at Peking University or Tsinghua University? We all thought you..."
"Now you already know, there's no need to tell me so much." Si Ran interrupted Si Junhe forcefully and made a gesture of invitation: "Young Master Si, there's nothing to say between us. Please leave, or I'll sue you for harassing a private residence!"
There was no expression on Si Ran's face, but he actually wanted to laugh a little bit.
She had been in the Si family for three months. From the moment she entered, Si Nian subconsciously belittled her and thought she was an uneducated woman who relied on her looks to get ahead in the entertainment industry.
Even after knowing that the Si family misunderstood her, she made it clear more than once that she was still in school.
It's just that the Si family is too lazy, or they stubbornly think that she is lowly.
She had explained it too many times in her previous life. Now she didn't want to explain it anymore, and she was too lazy to explain anything.
It doesn't matter anymore anyway.
“Woof woof woof!”
Alipay sensed Si Ran's mood changes and stood in front of Si Junhe, barking wildly.
"That's right, Ranran, we don't want to pay any attention to him. Let's kick him out together!"
Si Ran touched the Alipay icon.
She really wanted to take revenge on the Si family, but she didn't have the ability. Dealing with them now would be like tickling them, with no offensive power at all.
What's more, she was reborn in this life with a greater mission.
It would be a waste of your life to continue to be entangled with such a person.
"Alipay, go open the door, we're going home."
Alipay stuck out his tongue and, after hearing what Si Ran said, he quickly ran to the door, stood up and raised his thick paws.
With two beeps, the door opened.
When Si Junhe saw the dog opening the door, he was so shocked that he forgot what he was going to say next.
It was only after Si Ran slammed the door that Si Junhe finally realized what was happening.
He knocked on the door quickly, but no one answered.
After waiting for a long time, a hint of impatience flashed in Si Junhe's deep eyes.
He knocked on the door for ten minutes, and then the elevator door opened with a ding.
Two security guards, one holding a fork and the other holding a shield, walked over aggressively.
Si Junhe: “…”
Security guard: "You are not an owner of the community, who are you? If you don't leave, do you believe I will take compulsory measures against you?!"
As he spoke, the security guard waved the fork in his hand.
Si Junhe's face was filled with disbelief. He pointed at Si Ran's house number and asked, "Did Si Ran ask you to come?"
The security guard stared blankly.
"We don't know any Si Ran, but the person who reported you was the owner of 22-22 next door. He said you were screaming and throwing a tantrum in front of the girl. Let's take a look."
Ghostly howling?
Throwing a tantrum?
Si Junhe's face looked like an overturned canvas, and he was shaking with anger.
When he was taken away by the security guard, he couldn't help but look back, thinking that after he returned, he would find out who the owner of 22-22 was!
——
Si Ran rested at home for two days. During this time, for some unknown reason, the salary for "Wonderful Zoo" was paid a few days after the filming ended.
Her salary is considered reasonable in the industry. She earns three million per recording, which she splits with the company 50-50. After deducting taxes, she gets about seventy to eighty thousand.
This amount of money was not a small amount, so after Si Ran got it, he deposited all the money into his bank card as he did before.
Just when she was planning to make a one-year deposit, a message suddenly came from her phone -
"XX Bank" On May 1, XX, at 12:00 PM, your account ending in 0213 made a quick payment, spending 689,340.22 yuan, with a remaining balance of...
Si Ran could no longer see the rest.
She sat up from the sofa and looked in disbelief at the 680,000 yuan that was inexplicably deducted from her.
No, rounding it up it’s almost seven hundred thousand!
The money just arrived one second, and the next second her wallet was compressed into a zip file?
Si Ran's eyes turned black. She didn't even know where the money went!
Si Ran quickly checked his phone and found that the money was deducted from the Wonderful Zoo.
Si Ran: "..."
Si Ran's heart was bleeding, and he quickly asked the system what was going on.
The system explained ruthlessly, "That's right, host. The system is only responsible for giving you rewards and repairing the park and its equipment. In real life, you will need to pay for the water and electricity bills for your animals and the park's equipment yourself."
The original mechanical sound system may have felt guilty, so it added an "oh" at the end to be cute.
But Si Ran wouldn't listen.
For the first time since her rebirth, the sky fell.
With expenses of hundreds of thousands every month, even if she works like a slave in the entertainment industry, she still can't earn that much money.
And she is bound to quit the circle.
Her current savings can keep the zoo running for another year or two, but it will definitely not be able to do so in the long run.
Especially as there will be more and more animals in the zoo, the expenses will also increase.
She had to find a way.
Si Ran quickly contacted He Chengyuan and Meng Tao.
The three of them met at the Wonderful Zoo, along with some familiar leaders.
Si Ran shared his predicament and asked if the country could share some of the burden.
However, the leaders at the conference table looked at each other with a guilty conscience, and then lowered their heads tacitly.
“Ahem!”
He Chengyuan cleared his throat, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and after a moment of thought, he said, "My dear disciple, we understand your problem, but we also have a fatal problem here."
Si Ran: "...Teacher, you're not going to say you can't allocate funds to me, are you?"
"My disciple is so smart!" He Chengyuan smiled in a flattering manner.
Si Ran was silent.
Seeing this, He Chengyuan hurriedly said, "This zoo is definitely our responsibility. We will definitely help you apply for funding no matter how much it costs, but you should know that even if we ask for full reimbursement, the higher-ups won't agree."
Meng Tao nodded and explained his reasoning: "Although the zoo is backed by the state, sometimes the leaders above us are powerless. You know there are so many conservation stations in China. If we are too blatant in giving funding to us, it will cause imbalance among conservation stations elsewhere. So we need to think of other ways to make money."
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Field work is their strong point, but making money is not.
As Si Ran said, as long as the task is completed well, the zoo will be upgraded in the future, and the monthly payment will only increase. Now they may be able to hold on for a while, but there will always be a time when it collapses.
Water and electricity can be used in small amounts, but animals need to eat more!
"Why don't we sell tickets to the public while the Wonderful Zoo still has animals?"
Someone suggested.
When everyone heard this, they thought it was a good idea, as the revenue from ticket sales was enough to alleviate most of the pressure on the zoo.
But Si Ran rejected the proposal without a second thought: "The routes within the park haven't been planned yet, and so many animals rescued from the wild are not used to so many people visiting. If we open it now, not only will the tourists' experience be bad, it may even make the animals anxious."
Si Ran said, his mind spinning rapidly, and suddenly said: "Why don't we also broadcast live."
