I have a wildlife zoo

Fang Ye spoke with heartfelt sincerity, "The animals in the zoo aren't prisoners, they're employees. We use respect and kindness in exchange for their natural behaviors to entertain the visitors. It's a relationship of mutual benefit and equality.

In my ideal zoo, it would be a place where the animals live happily, and people also feel joy for these animals.

Hence, we at Linhai Zoo have undergone a major upgrade of the exhibits. All of the animals' living conditions will be tremendously improved, making them even happier!

Take the new tiger exhibit, for instance. It spans over 2,500 square meters, with grass, trees, hills, and a lake!

That's mainly what I've been busy with.

Moreover, with the exhibit upgrades, we'd definitely need to hire new staff due to our regular personnel shortage. Add to that some of the everyday tasks, and it can get overwhelming! But thankfully, the busiest phase has passed, and things should start to relax a bit."

"Wow! A comprehensive upgrade, the zoo director is really something!"

"Damn, a 2,500-square-meter tiger exhibit with grass, trees, and a lake, that's like a super luxury mansion with a garden and a pool! Not only would the tigers want to live there, but I'd want to live there, too!"

"The pathetic office workers who have to spend half their salary on rent are shedding tears of envy and jealousy. When will I ever own my own place!"

"Aaah! The director's words have left me itching to see it. I wanna see, wanna see, wanna see!"

"No wonder the director hasn't been livestreaming recently. For Youyou's sake, I'll forgive you. /dog's head"

"Animals living happily and people also feeling happiness for them, the director's words really hit home! I'm looking forward to the zoo's reopening, and I'll definitely visit!"

"Go, director! Create an amazing zoo that will make those crappy ones lose all their visitors!"

Fang Ye felt greatly comforted. When it comes to educating the public about the zoo, what should be taught? Should visitors know how many subspecies of tigers there are, which families they belong to, and how many teeth they have?

These are just minor details. The most crucial and fundamental message to convey is about how humans should interact with animals and the attitude we should hold towards them.

If we don't educate the public, misinformation will prevail. Like those who clamor that zoos shouldn't exist, wondering why they can't feed the animals, and all sorts of bizarre animal releases...

Now, it seems that the netizens have started to understand a little.

"So, what would everyone like to see today? I'll take you there," Fang Ye asked.

"Foxes!"

"Brain axe!"

"Perks, I want to see perks!"

"Whining, I want to see the little White Tiger!"

The netizens had different opinions, and their debate grew heated.

Suddenly Fang Ye remembered, "Oh, right, weren't we saying that we should name the little White Tiger? It's been decided, the name is Ice Cake! Generally, when you think of ice cakes, you'd think of creamy white colors, which goes well with the little White Tiger, doesn't it?"

"Xiduo Gaoduolu": "Hahahaha, the name Ice Cake was my suggestion! (＾－＾)V"

"Tsk, let's congratulate this show-off!"

"Ah, why? I'm not convinced! My awesome suggestion 'Sky-tearing Tiger Demon' wasn't adopted!"

"Such a chuuni name being selected would be a miracle!"

"I think Ice Cake is nice."

"Thank you, Xiduo Gaoduolu, and thank you to all the netizens who actively participated in naming the little White Tiger!"

Fang Ye held up a few cute animal plushies in front of the camera and shook them, "The mysterious gifts I mentioned before are these! There are tigers, foxes, peafowl… I hope you all like them! There are a hundred winners in total, and after the livestream, I'll post a list of names.

Those on the list, send me your address and desired plushie style in a private message, and I'll mail them to you one by one!"

Seeing the prizes, the netizens were both happy and excited!

"The craftsmanship looks really exquisite! Not the kind of cheap street vendor goods that cost just a few bucks apiece."

"So cute and adorable, showcasing the most lovable side of the animals."

"Huh, this fox plushie looks a bit like Xiaoqiao. Could it be customized? If so, the zoo director really splurged a lot."

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed. Isn't this Jiaojiao?"

"Director, I really like these plushies. Can I buy them with money? It doesn't matter if they're a bit expensive!"

Fang Ye shook his head, his face feigning regret as he sighed, "Ah, these toys cost quite a bit to make, and there aren't many of them. Once they're given out, that's it! But if you guys like them, I can get more next time. Money doesn't matter; as long as everyone appreciates the sentiment, it's not wasted!"

Right, restock through the system.

"Wow, I'm touched!"

"A zookeeper with a conscience! Brothers who feel the conscience, type 'conscience' in the chat!"

"Conscience!"

"Conscience, so much conscience!"

Fang Ye smiled modestly and then thought aloud, "Well, let's go check out Ice Cake first! Later, with Ice Cake in hand, we'll go see Jiaojiao and see how they react.

When Ice Cake was about two months old, it was no longer suitable to stay in the nursery. Letting them meet a few times in advance to get accustomed would make it easier for them to get along later.

Later on, living with Jiaojiao, the big tiger, will help Ice Cake grow better and master all the skills a tiger should have."

The nursery.

Lan Li sat on the mat, with the little milk tiger Ice Cake in her arms, gently stroking the soft fur on its cheeks and neck with her fingers.

Her eyebrows curved slightly upward, as she hummed a children's song softly, "Little snail, oh blow your horn steadily, I learn to spread my wings like a seagull and fly, not afraid of wind or rain, nor of becoming tired, quickly learn all your skills."

It was like a mother singing a lullaby to soothe her baby to sleep, her voice warm and gentle.

Ice Cake, enjoying the gentle massage and the soothing lullaby, closed its eyes comfortably, its little tongue licked its lips, and its head involuntarily began to droop down, nearly lulled to sleep.

Lan Li's mouth curved into a shallow smile as she gently touched the top of Ice Cake's head, "Ice Cake is the cutest little tiger, isn't that right?"

The environment was warm and quiet.

Just then, faint footsteps from the hallway grew nearer.

Ice Cake, who had been dozing off, suddenly lifted its head in confusion, one ear twitching upright a bit, it opened its eyelids and looked towards the source of the sound.

It seemed a bit perplexed, but as the sound faded, it squinted again and its head drooped sleepily.

"Click," the doorknob turned.

Ice Cake was no longer dozy; its blue little eyes opened wide with the look of being startled.

Turning its head, it pushed Lan Li's arm with its paws, attempting to burrow into her embrace, while making whimpering noises.

What sound is that, so scary! Mama's embrace is the safest, need a hug, need comfort~

Lan Li quickly wrapped her arms around Ice Cake, patting its back gently and murmured, "Don't be afraid, Ice Cake. Mama's here~"

When Fang Ye entered, he saw Ice Cake snuggling into Lan Li's arms, looking heartbroken, and said softly, "555, Ice Cake, it's Daddy! Don't you recognize Daddy anymore?"

Actually, he was quite pleased inside. The sound of the door opening had startled Ice Cake; this meant that its auditory organs had developed enough to hear sounds, or rather, that it was becoming sensitive to sounds.
