I have a wildlife zoo

"This environmental impact assessment was done so carelessly!"

After reading it, Fang Ye's brow furrowed, wondering what to do next.

The first thing to do was to conduct an on-site investigation, to speak with authority after seeing it for himself.

He called Researcher Gu Shi, "Hello Gu, I'm calling again, I'm really concerned about the green peafowl! I'd like to visit Xinping to see the state of the peafowls' habitat and the hydroelectric construction. Would you join me? Don't worry about the money!"

Gu Shi didn't hesitate, "Director Fang, no need to mention money, I also want to do something for the green peafowl."

"Thank you so much!"

After hanging up, Fang Ye immediately bought a plane ticket to Yunnan for the next day!

Then he went around to each exhibit to say farewell to the animals.

He patted Red Bean's head, "Goodbye, Red Bean~"

"Crunch crunch..."

While burying her head, Red Bean munched happily on the apple!

Fang Ye remarked, "Hey, you don't like me, you just like my apples!"

He embraced Jiaojiao's neck, "Jiaojiao, I'm leaving, goodbye~"

Jiaojiao, with gentle eyes, licked his face!

Fang Ye laughed, "You licked me again!"

He picked up Ice Cake and planted a kiss on its forehead with a "mua"!

At the lion exhibit, he had intended to say goodbye but saw the lions engaged in embarrassing activities.

After Yueyue went into heat, Qiuqiu followed suit. She was mostly neutral towards Qiqi—neither liking nor disliking him—but since it was mating season, she might as well roll in the grass with him.

Fang Ye didn't disturb the lions, taking one last glance before slipping away.

"Goodbye, Charcoal, Mizzle~"

"Roar~ Roar~"

...

The next day, he shared a taxi to the airport with Lan Li.

Lan Li was just seeing him off, having wanted to accompany him, but Fang Ye dissuaded her!

The fieldwork would be tough; in the deep forests without vehicles, only legs could do the walking. Plus, the scrapes from trees, the bites from mosquitoes, the leeches drawing blood—and it was unknown how long this investigation might take.

Lan Li, who mostly did clerical work, could endure it, but it would definitely be hard.

Although Fang Ye didn't often do fieldwork himself, he had the enhanced Director's uniform set, which was light, breathable, and scratch-resistant, and the spiritual water to replenish his energy. This was incomparable.

In the departure lounge at the airport, Lan Li held Fang Ye's hand and softly cautioned, "Director, be very careful of snakes! Make sure you're protected against bites. I've already bought the insect repellent for you."

She had wanted to pack some for Fang Ye, but that kind of thing wasn't allowed on flights.

Including ordinary water and all kinds of drinks, none were permitted, but that didn't affect Fang Ye; he would just get it from his system space, which produced items he could take out and put back in.

"Hmm, I have to board now, I'm off!" Fang Ye squeezed Lan Li's palm and smiled, "Before I go, should I...?"

With her face blushing, Lan Li still wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on her toes, and gave a gentle "smooch"!

A passing uncle raised his eyebrows and gave Fang Ye a thumbs-up, revealing a knowing smile!

Fang Ye joked, "Ah, what I meant was just a hug would do!"

Lan Li earnestly said, "This kiss contains my blessings. Go for it, Director. You can definitely save the green peafowl."

"Remember to water the vegetables in the yard, goodbye!"

```

He turned his head back, waved, and quickly boarded the plane.

...

On the plane, the seat next to him happened to be the uncle who had given him a thumbs up earlier.

Resting on a U-shaped pillow, the uncle struck up a cheerful conversation with Fang Ye, "Young man, are you on a business trip?"

Fang Ye replied, "Sort of."

"Ah, I felt a special connection with you the moment I saw you..."

The uncle was quite chatty!

Seeing Fang Ye not talking, he started rattling on about how his son had just started college, which university he went to, and how they agonized over choosing his major.

Fang Ye nodded politely!

"You look like you haven't been working long, yet you get to travel on business. This is an opportunity to show what you're made of! You need to seize it, speak up, take action, and consult your superiors frequently. You've got to have thick skin!"

The uncle earnestly imparted his wisdom, jokingly saying, "In a few years, you could reach the peak of your life, become a CEO, and marry a rich and beautiful girl. But it seems like you've already got a pretty girlfriend, so now you're just missing becoming a CEO."

Fang Ye was amused and burst into "hahaha" laughter.

The uncle then asked, "By the way, what do you do for work?"

Fang Ye honestly said, "I work at a zoo."

The uncle immediately became curious, "Oh, are you an animal keeper? I've always been quite interested in that job! What do you usually do? Can you actually pet lions and tigers and such?"

Fang Ye said seriously, "More or less. I usually feed the red pandas apples, cuddle with tigers, swim together in the pool, scare naughty lions with slippers, and sometimes I get calls for help, like when an owl takes shelter from the rain in a school, or a wild boar has run off somewhere, and we have to go rescue them."

At first, the uncle listened with great enthusiasm, but after a couple of sentences, a big question mark appeared above his head, as he stared at Fang Ye with a peculiar and skeptical look, as if saying, "Don't think you can fool me because I'm not well-read."

"Eh?"

However, when Fang Ye mentioned the wild boar, something seemed to click for him.

He took out his phone and searched for a bit.

Finding a news report about the Milk Tea Wild Boar, he compared it with Fang Ye and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, it was you guys who caught the Milk Tea Wild Boar!"

He extended his hand, "My apologies, my apologies!"

"No worries, no worries!"

Fang Ye shook hands with the uncle, bemused—capturing a wild boar was hardly something to apologize for!

Just as the uncle was putting his phone away, he took another look. The report next to Fang Ye's picture read, "What to do if you encounter a wild boar, Zoo Director Fang from Linhai Zoo offers advice..."

The uncle's eyes widened in disbelief, "Zoo Director?"

Fang Ye tilted his mouth modestly and said, "It's nothing, just an average zoo director."

After confirming his identity, the uncle thought back to the career advice he had just been giving to Fang Ye, telling him to perform well and reach the pinnacle of life...

Shoot, as if he needs to climb to the pinnacle of life! He's already at the peak!

The uncle couldn't help but express his admiration, "Really impressive for someone so young, I wish my son had even a tenth of your success!"

Still somewhat skeptical, he asked, "Director, was that stuff you said about cuddling tigers not a joke?"

Fang Ye chuckled, "It's true, I wasn't lying. However, the average animal keeper really can't do that. I have a certain ability; animals like to be close to me, so I can get along with them quite pleasantly."

"Oh, that's amazing."

The conversation between the two continued, and the uncle began to inquire about Fang Ye's business trip.

Fang Ye said, "This time I'm going to Yunnan for the green peafowl!"
