Meng Huan followed behind Su Zhou, constantly pondering how to best pay her.
First, they filmed a movie, which had a long shooting period. They'd used animal actors before, and the price varied depending on the difficulty of filming and the type of animal. But this little fox looked so adorable, and they wanted a long-term partnership with the zoo. The fox was the main character in the movie, appearing as a fox for a significant portion of the film, so the salary couldn't be low.
He doesn't lack money right now; he's just envious.
I was eyeing some of the flowers at the zoo, but they weren't available on the market right now; they were priced but unavailable. I thought it would be great if I could buy a few plants under the guise of taking photos. With that in mind, I followed Su Zhou into the office building.
Su Zhou had no idea what the famous director behind her was thinking. With the deadline for Task Five fast approaching and still some distance to go, she was worried about how to stimulate people's consumption and make the customer flow surge in a short period of time.
We've considered offering evening admission or hosting some events. With the year drawing to a close and New Year's Day just around the corner, this presents a good opportunity for the zoo.
After arriving at the office with her entourage, Su Zhou obtained a lot of fine tea from Su Yunhai, specifically for entertaining distinguished guests. As she boiled water to brew the tea, she said, "Please sit down."
"The atmosphere at our zoo is really great. The story of Director Su saving that golden eagle from poachers even made it to the local trending topics. And the animals seem so intelligent. I was even thinking about whether there's a chance to film a TV series with animals as the main characters in the future. I think it would be very interesting. I've seen a lot of TV shows with humans as the main characters, but there aren't many with animals as the main characters." Meng Huan was very blunt with others, even daring to shout at famous actors, but when facing Su Zhou, who was a decade younger than him, his tone became much more polite.
Su Zhou didn't get his point: "Animal World, and many other documentaries are about animals."
"A documentary is a documentary, it has nothing to do with the story. Let's get back to the point and talk about the collaboration. Here's what I'm thinking: a significant part of the plot requires a fox as the main character, so the opening credits can't be too low. Five million, Director Su, what do you think of this amount?" Meng Huan considered for a moment, subtly observing Su Zhou's expression.
Su Zhou wasn't sure how much animal actors should be paid. She searched on her phone and found that most animal actors were cats and dogs, with daily wages ranging from several hundred to several thousand. This price was already considered the ceiling. Since Meng Huan was sincere, Su Zhou naturally had to be open and honest, and there was no reason to refuse the money: "I think this price is acceptable."
In his mind, he asked the system, "Dog system, dog system, I'm asking you, does the payment for the animal actors go through my account or the system's account?"
This matter is really important to her, as it relates to whether or not Task 5 can be completed successfully.
[Yes, it's possible. The animals are part of the zoo's ecosystem, so of course they'll be accounted for through the system.] The system gave an affirmative answer.
Su Zhou nodded. With the addition of the five million, completing the mission wouldn't be a problem.
"This price is acceptable. Let's sign the contract now." Su Zhou smiled slightly at him, her smile becoming more sincere. After all, Meng Huan's cooperation was a completely unexpected surprise for her. She had been worrying about how to complete the task for the past few days.
Please, as someone with OCD, Su Zhou really doesn't want to miss any tasks.
Moreover, the rewards for this mission are very tempting.
Meng Huan nodded. The contract had already been drafted beforehand, and only the amount needed to be slightly modified. The two of them finalized the contract in black and white, thus establishing a cooperative relationship.
Seeing the seal fall, Su Zhou felt much more at ease.
A smile appeared on Meng Huan's lips.
"Have some tea to soothe your throat. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality on such a cold day." Su Zhou handed over the hot tea. The aroma of the tea was enticing, and Meng Huan could taste its extraordinary qualities and recognize its high price. This further convinced her that Su Zhou must be of extraordinary status.
"By the way, Director Su, I have another request. I wonder if you could grant it?" After some internal hesitation, Meng Huan finally spoke her mind.
Su Zhou raised her eyes. "Just say what you have to say, Director Meng."
"I see that your zoo has a lot of flowers and plants that are grown very well. I also really like flowers and plants and have grown a lot myself. Seeing what you said really makes me very happy. So, I wanted to ask if you sell these flowers, and if you could sell me one or two." Meng Huan suddenly loosened her clenched fingers, her tone becoming more tentative, and stared at Su Zhou expectantly.
"Can these flowers and plants be sold? If they can, I'll sell them."
【Sure, honey, it'll be processed through the system.】
One or two plants are indeed not a problem. Su Zhou knows that there are many varieties of expensive plants. If you have them, you can hold a flower show in the local area. For just one cent, you can not only enjoy the animals but also see all kinds of precious flowers and plants. It's not a loss at all.
Since the appearance was implemented, Su Zhou has found that many tourists are not only coming to see the animals, but are also significantly more interested in the flowers and plants.
Having received the system's affirmative reply, Su Zhou felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. She tried hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips, but couldn't hide her gentle smile: "Sure, Director Meng, you can just say what you're looking for."
Su Zhou took him directly to the outdoor area of the zoo to choose the flower he liked. It was indeed very expensive, a rather pricey orchid, which was not to Su Zhou's taste, but the price tag was quite high.
The price of this product is much cheaper in the system's store, and Su Zhou can easily make it even cheaper by switching between different stores.
He found a flowerpot, carefully removed the soil, and transplanted the ghost orchid. Based on the market price, Meng Huan generously transferred the money. He admired the two orchids with great delight. The moment the money arrived, Su Zhou received a notification that Task 5 was completed.
[Congratulations, host! Mission 5 is complete. The mission reward has been sent to your inventory. Please check it.]
Su Zhou didn't have time to watch; instead, she sent Meng Huan away first.
"You must be exhausted. The roads are difficult to travel on snowy days." Su Zhou said apologetically as she accompanied Meng Huan down the mountain. In the distance, they saw an SUV parked at the foot of the mountain.
Both sides were satisfied and got what they wanted. Meng Huan felt that her trip was really worthwhile. "Alright, Director Su, I'll leave you here. I look forward to our cooperation."
