I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 342 This Will Cost Extra



Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

It was stunning from a distance, but even more extraordinary up close!

Walking on the spacious skywalk, with the wide canopy overhead, the morning sun filtering through the leaves, magnificent parrots flying by, their wings reflecting dazzling colors.

The Sparkling Girls each turned into starry-eyed dreamers. What girl wouldn't love such a romantic and picturesque scene? It's like living in a fairy tale.

He Yifei was leaning on the railing, watching the birds at that moment.

Weekdays were quite relaxed, and after preparing the morning feed for the birds and placing it in the feeders, he and the other animal keepers observed the birds inside the exhibit.

Seeing a group of tourists approaching, he prepared to welcome them, but he was momentarily startled by the sight of so many youthful and beautiful girls.

Then a hint of recognition crept in. They looked familiar, didn't they?

After looking back and forth a few times, a realization suddenly struck him - weren't they the Sparkling Girls? Although he didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, he occasionally saw news about them.

The thought of the Sparkling Girls visiting the zoo excited him.

At that moment, Old Xu walked over and asked, "Hello..."

He talked about wanting to shoot an MV there and asked if they could get permission.

He Yifei came to his senses, realizing what was happening. "I'll have to ask our Zoo Director! I'll give him a call," he said.

...

Fang Ye was lounging in his courtyard, comfortably reading a book about birds, with Lan Li studying from a book beside him, both having a day off.

Huahua lay on Fang Ye's legs, lazily squinting and basking in the sun - it was much more comfortable than staying in the cat bed.

Fang Ye would occasionally stroke her while reading the book.

Ever since Huahua laid eggs, she had become much better behaved than before, no longer vanishing without a trace. She mainly stayed in the yard, and she had also gained some weight, turning her grief and indignation into an appetite.

Just then, his phone rang.

Seeing it was He Yifei calling, Fang Ye answered the phone, wondering what had happened. "Hello, what's up? Did the birds start fighting?"

Even though they had used the Friendliness Spray, one shouldn't rely entirely on the system's tools.

Animal keepers still needed to observe closely and manage any bird scuffles, ensuring that any injured birds received prompt care.

After all, there were plenty of hiding spots in the bird exhibit, so if conflict arose, the weaker could still escape.

"No, the birds are all getting along fine."

He Yifei spoke with a hint of mystery, "Guess who came to visit our zoo?"

Fang Ye arched an eyebrow, "With that gossiping tone, is it some celebrity? If a celebrity visits, they're just a tourist. You're calling me about this?"

If it were a visit from some officials, they would have been informed in advance.

"It's Sparkling Girls 404! I don't know if you've heard of them, boss.

And that's not all, they really liked the scenery of Linhai Zoo and want to shoot an MV here. Their director is asking me about it now."

"Eh?"

Fang Ye was curious when he heard the name; he didn't know much about idols but was quite interested in the idea of filming an MV.

Shooting an MV in the zoo could definitely increase its fame and perhaps attract some fans to visit.

He sat up straight and asked Lan Li, "Lan Li, do you know about Sparkling Girls 404?"

"Yeah, a female idol group!"

Lan Li usually pays attention to some gossip. While counting on her fingers, she said, "They are the fourth generation. Before them there was Sunshine Girls 101, Moonlight Girls 202, and Starlight Girls 303. The first two generations didn't get very popular, but the third one suddenly blew up. Now, the fourth generation is fresh, taking over from the third, and they debuted a year ago!

They've got quite a lot of potential."

"I see. How's their public image?"

"Not bad, I guess. After all, what they do is sing and dance, right? Yang Xiaochao can't sing in tune to save her life, and she's been criticized by many because of this, but there are also people who like her off-key singing."

Fang Ye said over the phone, "Bring them over to the office building, and we'll meet in the reception room to talk."

He Yifei replied, "Okay!"

After hanging up, he saw the curious expression on Lan Li's face and explained, "The Sparkling Girls are visiting our zoo today. They thought the scenery here was nice and want to shoot a music video here."

Lan Li said with excitement, "Really? I've never seen live idols before."

Fang Ye was amused by her and said, "Then I'll take you to have a look. Let's go."

Holding Lan Li's hand, they strolled out of the courtyard.

Huahua lay in the cat bed, watching their retreating figures. Bored, she yawned and then curled back into the cat bed to sleep.

...

In the reception room of the office building!

Old Xu had a broad potato-shaped face and a shiny bald head, which made him quite distinctive looking.

Behind him followed a group of beautiful, sweet-looking girls, making quite the contrast.

He Yifei introduced him, "This is our Zoo Director Fang. Director Fang, this is Director Xu, with whom we want to cooperate."

Old Xu, looking surprised, shook hands with Fang Ye, "Zoo Director Fang is really young and talented!"

Fang Ye was used to this kind of courtesy, as it was typically the first thing people said to him since most zoo directors weren't as young as he was.

He returned the courtesy, "Nice to meet you. The professions I admire the most are novelists and directors, creators of worlds!"

"You flatter me..."

The Sparkling Girls all bowed together and introduced themselves, "Hello, Director Fang, we are Sparkling Girls 404!"

Everyone took their seats, and Old Xu praised directly, "We just took a quick look around the bird exhibit and haven't seen everything yet, but the scenery is really beautiful! The trees, the birds, the waterfalls, the valleys, they are all perfect for shooting a music video."

On the way here, he had learned that Linhai Zoo was a private zoo where the zoo director decided everything.

Seeing the luxury of the tropical bird exhibit, he realized it must've cost billions to build, indicating a wealthy owner.

Rather than beating around the bush, he decided to flatter first before getting down to business.

Fang Ye smiled and said, "The tropical bird exhibit is just one of the attractions in our zoo. The other spots are equally impressive. Just outside the bird exhibit, there's a bamboo forest with a red panda exhibit inside, which is equally beautiful. We also have the tiger exhibit, lion exhibit, and ring-tailed lemur island, all painstakingly crafted."

"Oh, we will have to check them out later."

Old Xu then asked about the location fee.

Fang Ye's requirement was simple, don't shoot on rest days when there are more visitors because it could affect the visitor experience. Shoot on workdays when there are fewer people, with a fee of ten thousand for one day, roughly the equivalent of compensating for ticket sales.

Old Xu gladly agreed as this beautiful location was a bargain!

Even though when they went to the botanical gardens in Suzhou, Anhui, for a shoot, the place didn't ask for any location fee, just a thank you in the credits of the MV.

Old Xu continued, "I've heard that your parrots are trained. During the shooting of the MV, could you have the parrots fly around a bit?"

Fang Ye replied, "That, well, that will cost extra!"
