After a long day, Su Zhou drove home and went straight to bed.
Even in her sleep, she was still vaguely making plans. Commuting like this all the time really couldn't go on. The renovation and upgrade of that small building couldn't continue like this; she needed to hire more staff. Tomorrow there would be even more people, and with the zoo's increasing popularity, the number of visitors would definitely increase. She definitely couldn't manage on her own.
After waking up, Wang Xingyue prepared breakfast.
Su Zhou, biting into a shrimp dumpling, mumbled, "Mom and Dad, the environment in my office building isn't very good. I'm planning to upgrade it. If you have any construction or design teams, could you please keep an eye out for me?"
When Su Zhou came home last night, her fair face was sunburned and red. Her mother felt sorry for her daughter and immediately agreed to help.
Wang Xingyue handed Su Zhou a tissue. She had a wide network of connections and a large social circle, so there was absolutely no problem leaving this matter to her mother. "Don't worry, Zhouzhou, leave this to Mom. Mom will definitely take care of everything for you."
Among her peers, Wang Xingyue is also very beautiful and avant-garde, and she has her own insights into aesthetics.
When she was decorating her villa, she didn't hire a designer; she designed everything herself. The resulting villa had a very sophisticated aesthetic, definitely not the kind of overly refined but tacky style often associated with middle-aged and elderly people. Su Zhou trusted her mother completely and nodded, "Thank you, Mom. I was quite anxious; there's no air conditioning there, so it's best to start construction as soon as possible."
When we arrived at the zoo, there were already many people in line.
There were so many people that Su Zhou didn't react for a moment. The number of people in the live stream shouldn't be enough for so many people to line up. Is the internet effect really that powerful?
A little bewildered, I opened the door and collected the payment.
At first, Su Zhou was a little happy to hear the voice announcement of receiving payment, but as she listened, she gradually became numb to it.
Holding my phone to collect payments all the time is quite tiring, and hiring employees is urgent and can't be delayed.
Even after the tourists entered the park, more people continued to arrive.
"Wow, so many people!" Su Zhou exclaimed in surprise. It was her first time being showered with such massive online traffic, and she was still getting used to it.
"Director, you don't know yet, do you? Your zoo is all the rage online right now. Haven't you even looked it up?"
"No, I'm not as fast at surfing the internet as you guys, haha." Su Zhou looked at the tourist's phone and searched for the tag "Wanling Zoo". The top-rated post was a high-energy video clip with over five million likes.
"Supreme Sword Master: This sword severs all ties of love; this sword severs gods and demons; this sword severs the path to immortality. My path can only be walked by myself."
The comments section is a complete mess:
—What the hell, Sword Master Xing! I guessed the wrong protagonist. I never expected that the protagonist would actually be a chimpanzee.
—It's just a gorilla. Even if you put Emperor Ruyan in front of it, it won't develop any affinity. You have to put a female gorilla in front of it. Do you think the Ape Sword Master will be tempted?
Moving your gaze downwards, the next video shows two male peacocks displaying their plumage to each other, which has garnered over three million likes and nearly a million shares.
"Mysteriously, your favorite dual male lead/proud and handsome peacock gong is here, a battle of beauty that is evenly matched."
This kind of video really whets people's appetites. Everyone knows that netizens these days are good at creating funny content, but Su Zhou never expected that they would be so good at it.
—Good, good, good, as expected, he's a beautiful, proud, peacock-like gong (dominant partner), which is very much in line with biology in a physical sense.
— I forwarded this to my girlfriends, and they laughed so hard. This is exactly how I felt when I was scammed by a tweet. It's completely irrelevant.
I see.
The mystery is solved! This is how it went viral. Su Zhou now truly understands why the zoo is so popular—it took an unconventional approach. In any case, the traffic has increased, and so have the number of visitors.
By the afternoon, the number of people who had arrived exceeded one thousand, and the system's mechanical voice popped into my mind.
[Congratulations, host. Task 1 is complete. The task has been issued.]
The animals at Wanling were really giving Su Zhou face; their entertaining antics overshadowed the shortcomings of the facilities. She found a secluded spot to check the rewards. Wanling's app showed that she had one chance for a random upgrade, which could be used to upgrade a random exhibit.
Ahei has now become an animal celebrity and is a great contributor to Wanling Zoo. In any case, Ahei should be given priority for this upgrade opportunity. As for the other animals, they will probably have to complete other tasks first.
With that in mind, Su Zhou chose to confirm without hesitation.
And the upgrade opportunity will be given to the chimpanzee enclosure.
A notification popped up.
[Wanling Construction Team is currently delivering... Estimated arrival time: 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 53 seconds.]
It seems the construction team will arrive in a while, and the reward coins have already been distributed. That means Su Zhou now has 20,000 coins in her account, and there's not much she can do with 20,000 coins in the shop.
After browsing the shop for a while, Su Zhou decided to save her gold coins for later.
The animals performed with great enthusiasm, and the tourists were very satisfied. The main reason was that after Ahei's attribute points were improved, it had different programs every day. There was no need for Su Zhou to communicate with it; its every move was a performance in itself.
In the afternoon, when the crowd thinned out a bit, Su Zhou posted a job advertisement on a recruitment app.
There are two positions: ticket seller and security guard.
As the number of people at the zoo increases, Su Zhou is worried that someone might take advantage of the situation or steal things. Although surveillance cameras have been installed in necessary places, she is currently the only person who is actually the zoo's director and employee. One person can't fight against so many people, and one pair of eyes can't keep an eye on so many people.
Jobs are hard to find these days. While ticket sellers and security guards don't require a degree, the salary is 8000 RMB per month, so there are naturally some requirements. Security guards need to be physically strong and have prior security experience, while ticket sellers need to be quick-witted.
When Su Zhou closed up shop and went home that evening, she saw hundreds of people inquiring about the position in the back office.
The highest level of education among them was even a postgraduate degree from a 985 university. She was well aware that academic qualifications were devalued these days, but she never expected that so many people would sign up for such a small job as a ticket seller and security guard.
After eliminating some people who had falsified their academic credentials, such as those from XX University or XX Independent College, it was a pity that those who only applied for XX University had to be eliminated. After screening out some unsuitable candidates, only twenty or thirty people remained. Su Zhou sent a group message to them, asking them to come to the zoo for an interview tomorrow.
We need to meet them in person before we can make a selection.
