YM778.TV Chapter 9: 9: A Fierce Person
Inspired by this unexpected incident, Fang Ye stroked his chin and added a plan on the spur of the moment: "Lan Li, go register a live streaming account on DouShark!"
"Eh? Is the director planning to start live streaming?"
"Exactly, the name will be Linhai Zoo. You\'ll be in charge of filming."
Fang Ye planned to live stream the animals\' daily lives to showcase their charm and, coincidentally, promote his zoo, harvesting popularity value, killing two birds with one stone.
While Lan Li was busy registering the live streaming account, he shared that Weibo post:
"Hello, everyone. I\'m the director of Linhai Zoo and one of the protagonists in these photos! The other protagonist is our zoo\'s most popular and most beloved Amur tiger, Jiaojiao!
I\'m very thankful for everyone\'s concern for me personally and our zoo. I also welcome everyone to visit our DouShark live stream \'Linhai Zoo\'. You can ask me any questions you have in the live stream room!"
Lan Li excitedly said, "Director, the account is ready, we can start live streaming! What are we going to stream today?"
"We\'ll eat first, get ready, and start the stream at eight," Fang Ye, as if recalling something, his lips curled into a smile with a hint of mischief, "Later, change the room\'s title to \'Watch How the Director Cleans the Tiger Enclosure\'."
Lan Li was somewhat concerned: "Uh, streaming this, will people watch it?"
"Don\'t worry," Fang Ye assured confidently.
If any netizens were curious about how to clean a tiger enclosure and clicked in, they might find the content to be quite different from what they expected!
...
8:10 pm.
The live streaming room, which was empty of everything, already had five netizens waiting!
Clearly, they had come after seeing the Weibo post.
Fang Ye had told the animal keepers about the new requirements for the animal diaries during the morning meeting, which took a bit more time than expected.
But it wasn\'t a big problem.
After Lan Li changed the room name to \'Watch How the Director Cleans the Tiger Enclosure\', three more netizens joined the live stream!
The simple and unadorned title somehow possessed a strange allure.
The key point naturally lay on the word "tiger".
Fang Ye, wearing a blue work uniform, appeared on camera, waving with a smile, "Hello, hello, can you all see me? I\'m Fang Ye, the director of Linhai Zoo!"
A trickle of bullet chat comments started to float up.
"Oh, the director is here!"
"We can see!"
"Wow, it\'s really him!"
"Good morning, Director!"
"Linhai Zoo, is it in Linhai City? I work in Linhai City, how come I\'ve never heard of it?"
Fang Ye also had his own phone open to the live stream interface, conveniently to watch the comments.
He replied: "Yes, in Linhai City! Our zoo is located in the suburbs, quite out of the way, and without many animals to see right now, we don\'t get many visitors, hence we\'re not well-known. Actually, many parents who bring their kids find out about the zoo by searching online and are surprised to discover there is a zoo in Linhai, haha!"
He walked ahead while Lan Li closely followed filming.
Someone noticed the iron bucket and broom in his hand: "Are you going to clean the enclosure now?"
"Didn\'t you see? The title says it all."
"Is the tiger in the enclosure the Amur tiger Jiaojiao from yesterday\'s photos?"
Those who joined the live stream later were clueless: "What photo?"
"The one with the director holding a tiger, don\'t you know?"
"Shocking, there\'s such a thing?"
They looked at Fang Ye differently.
What a brave man.
They had arrived at the tiger enclosure!
Jiaojiao had been lying on the other side of the enclosure, but when she spotted Fang Ye, she immediately stood up and walked over slowly.
Stopping before the iron gate, she lifted her head, her eyes slightly squinted, still looking a bit sleepy.
This distance couldn\'t be any closer, with just a railing between them, capturing Lan Li\'s figure crystal clear.
Seeing Lan Li holding up a phone to take pictures, Jiaojiao tilted her head, her amber-colored docile tiger eyes examining the lens as if puzzled about what was happening.
The netizens immediately got excited!
"Ahhhh, I love tomahawks the most!"
"Wow, what a big guy! So majestic!"
"This is way more interesting than watching female streamers!"
Jiaojiao glanced at the phone a couple of times before losing interest, lowering her head to sniff around Fang Ye\'s ankles, as if distinguishing his scent.
She seemed to be in a good mood!
Fang Ye first assessed with his own intuition, then quietly activated Eye of Observation.
Above Jiaojiao\'s head, a virtual panel appeared.
[Amur tiger: Jiaojiao
Age: 3 years old
Mood: Happy]
Jiaojiao took another step forward but couldn\'t reach Fang Ye, letting out a low growl from her throat.
She clung tightly to the railing, squinting her eyes and rubbing back and forth like scratching against a tree, her posture playful.
"Wow, why did it suddenly roar?"
"Oh my gosh! Am I imagining things, or does it seem like it\'s acting spoiled?"
"It\'s not just me feeling this way? When my cat wants to play with me, it rubs against my legs like this!"
"Haha, after all, a tiger is a feline! Just a bit bigger."
"Looks like the tiger really likes the zookeeper!"
"This is Jiaojiao!" Fang Ye turned to introduce to the netizens, smiling, "I\'m sure everyone is curious about how we clean the tiger enclosure, right?"
He fumbled around his waist for a moment, pulled out a jingling bunch of keys, then deftly and naturally unlocked the door, sliding open the bolt.
The iron gate cracked open slightly and Jiaojiao couldn\'t wait to squeeze out, poking half her head through in a blink of an eye.
The netizens\' minds went blank for two seconds: "!!!!??"
"It\'s over!"
"Holy moly!"
"Run, the tiger is coming out!"
Lan Li\'s hand trembled, nearly dropping the phone to the ground, emitting a whimper soft as a mosquito!
Big crisis! ヽ(*.0Д0)o゜
The usual procedure for cleaning the enclosure absolutely wasn\'t like this!
"Jiaojiao, good girl, let me in!"
Fang Ye, however, was calm and collected, keeping one hand on the door to prevent the gap from widening and tapping Jiaojiao twice with the iron bucket he held: "Hey, hey! Don\'t squeeze out!"
Jiaojiao got tapped a couple of times and seemed a bit displeased, shaking her head before turning around, leaving the gap open.
In fact, she just wanted to nuzzle into Fang Ye\'s arms, not to go outside.
Seizing the opportunity, Fang Ye sidled into the tiger enclosure and swiftly slid the bolt back into place.
The netizens finally caught on and began excitedly launching a barrage of comments!
"Holy cow, that scared me to death! My heart almost stopped just now!"
"Speaking of which, it\'s funny, the camera was so close when I saw the tiger about to come out, I was unconsciously leaning back..."
"If it got out, that would be quite a spectacle."
"Are animal keepers really cleaning the tigers like this on a regular basis? Admired, and hard work!"
"Crying laughing, you misunderstood, upstairs! Normally, when cleaning the enclosures or feeding these predators, they separate humans and animals, conducting everything under absolute safety! Otherwise, no number of keepers would be enough to handle it!"
"Then why does the zookeeper dare to go right in?"
"Because... he\'s a fearless man!"
