Such a large, living person, and a big star at that, has absolutely no connection to animals.
However, the audiovisual feast is extremely friendly to the eyes and ears of those who appreciate good looks and voices, and Su Zhou understands why everyone is so crazy about Xie Chi.
In an era of declining global aesthetic standards, capitalists' "ugly kids" dominate the public eye, and even worse, they relentlessly market their beauty, provoking a backlash from viewers. At this critical juncture, Xie Chi's appearance is like a refreshing rain, cleansing everything and reshaping people's aesthetic sensibilities.
Su Zhou is very picky. She is good-looking herself, so naturally she is very picky about appearance.
To put it bluntly, Xie Chi's appearance is absolutely the pinnacle that humans can achieve, a level that even modeling might not be able to reach, yet there really is someone who looks like that.
But as beautiful as it may be, it's not as important as opening a zoo.
"Has Lingling been fed yet? What about the CEO, and Ahei... Okay, as long as they've all eaten." Su Zhou had just come out of the gymnasium when she called Aunt Sun to inquire about the animals' diet. Most of the animals' food was ordered directly from the system store by Su Zhou. It was indeed strange that such a large amount of fruit appeared out of nowhere, so Su Zhou also bought a lot of fruit from fruit farmers and had them delivered directly to the zoo.
As the saying goes, the zoo makes money, and the zoo spends it.
She works so hard to earn money, isn't it only natural for her to place an order through the system?
Thinking of this, Su Zhou immediately felt more confident. Relieved to receive Aunt Sun's reply, Su Zhou felt at ease.
We drove straight to the zoo.

"Are you alright?" the agent asked with concern. Xie Chi was their cash cow, extremely precious.
"It's nothing, I want to terminate the contract." Xie Chi's voice was calm, his beautiful and handsome face showing only a faint expression, and he didn't even take the water.
"Terminate the contract? Xie Chi, how could you terminate the contract?" Provoked by Xie Chi's voice, the agent's previously ingratiating tone suddenly rose, and she looked at Xie Chi in disbelief, "Do you know how the company supported you back then? How they built you up to where you are now step by step?"
Her voice trembled as she spoke, and she felt uneasy.
Looking at Xie Chi's face, she had to go through a lot of internal struggle before saying that. Even if Xie Chi just stood there without moving, countless people would love him; the company was the one who benefited.
My first encounter with Xie Chi was when she accompanied one of the company's artists to a remote mountainous area to film a variety show.
That's when Xie Chi suddenly appeared in the frame, wearing an ancient and gorgeous black robe, still with long hair, and with a bewildered look in his eyes, seemingly naive. Even though he only appeared for a second, it boosted the viewership of the live variety show by several percentage points.
"Is it good?" Xie Chi stared at the chicken leg in the artist's hand.
It was the kind of braised chicken leg, vacuum-packed, the kind that sells for four and a half yuan in supermarkets. Normally, his own high-class artist wouldn't even glance at such cheap food, but now the situation was different. In this remote mountain village, even if it was just this kind of chicken leg, he enjoyed it immensely.
"What are you eating? Do you have no manners?" Celebrities have an instinctive fear and apprehension when faced with someone who is too beautiful, so their tone is not very friendly.
Xie Chi's voice was gentle: "Can I have a taste? I can trade this for it."
A copper coin lay prominently in her fair palm.
The artist burst into laughter, his face turning red. "Where did this ancient-style young man come from? Hahaha, take him away quickly! Long hair, ancient clothes, and copper coins—are you cosplaying?"
The agent bluntly weighed the pros and cons: this face was incredibly valuable, and he could absolutely, positively, bring immeasurable status to the company. Perhaps his chance to be promoted to vice president was right here. Suppressing her joy, she said in a restrained voice, "Sign here, and we'll give you a chicken leg, and countless other things too—fans' attention, countless amounts of money. Do you want it? Appear on the big screen, believe me, many people will like you."
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always felt that when she said that, Xie Chi's expression was sneer and mockery, as if he was laughing at her overestimating her abilities.
His indifferent gaze fell on the black and white words on the white paper. "Party A, Party B, media company? Are you asking me to be an actor? How interesting."
And so, Xie Chi was brought back by them.
Xie Chi was a person of unknown origin; he had no ID card, no household registration, and no registered residence. But these were not problems for the company. They quickly completed the relevant procedures, much as expected. After that live broadcast, the young artist was cyberbullied to the point of depression and quitting the internet because of his vulgar language, and soon disappeared from public view.
Fans' love is without reason; Xie Chi is handsome enough, so there are enough people to love him.
His captivating good looks drew many inquiries about Xie Chi's identity. During his first live stream, he gained over ten million followers in less than ten minutes. Even though he didn't say a word and just stared at the camera, people still went crazy for him.
But now, Xie Chi is actually saying he wants to terminate the contract.
"I will transfer the money for terminating the contract to the company's account," Xie Chi said in a notification tone. As time went on, the initial enthusiasm faded, and he only felt bored.
"No, Xie Chi, you can't do this to me!" the manager cried hysterically, turning to look at Xie Chi. "Is it because someone tried to throw acid on you? But this was uncontrollable, and we didn't expect it. Xie Chi, how about this? The company will arrange a few more bodyguards for you. Go back and rest well for a while, and adjust your mindset. I remember there's a healing variety show that's popular right now? Do you want to go and relax?"
She knew that it wasn't Xie Chi who couldn't leave the company, but rather that the company couldn't leave Xie Chi.
She had worked so hard to climb from being a manager to where she was now, and Xie Chi had given her so much. Even the wealthy and beautiful girls who were practically impossible to even talk to in college would shower her with luxury goods just to get some of his photos and materials. Everyone fawned over her after learning she was Xie Chi's manager. She basked in everything that came with Xie Chi's fame and couldn't bear the thought of him suggesting leaving.
"I'll talk to Mr. Zhao about the contract and see if we can increase your profit share."
"Variety show?" Xie Chi frowned slightly.
“Yes, the most recent episode of Rainbow Realm was probably filmed at Wanling Zoo.” Just in case Xie Chi didn’t know, she added, “It’s the Wanling Zoo that’s been really popular lately. There’s a chimpanzee that can play the piano and lions that are at the mercy of humans. The environment there is nice. I know you’re under a lot of pressure. I’ve heard from many tourists that Wanling Zoo has a very good and relaxing environment. Do you want to give it a try? How about it, Xie Chi?”
The panda cub is drinking water.
The pink tongue curls with clear water, and the tranquil bamboo fragrance has a Zen-like quality.
