Chapter 1328

~8 min read 1,415 words

The person who booked the room came and went in a hurry—she was already in Ning Province for business, so she took the opportunity to solve the problem of the blockbuster promotional film for the artists under her agency.

Now that the matter was finished, she naturally planned to leave in a swift and decisive manner—it is worth mentioning that before leaving, she held a cup of milk tea, and after one sip, she was stunned again. Finally, after Lu Jing refused a second cup in every way possible, she left with great reluctance.

She only left a large sum of money for the homestay, which successfully made Zhang Yanping's facial features wrinkle up in envy: "How can this be?!"

Why do the rich get richer and richer? Is there something unreasonable about this world?! They had collected 80,000 in payments before, but with expenses here and expenses there, patching things up and living hand-to-mouth, it wasn't even enough to pay off their debts!

In comparison, the disparity in this world is truly too great!

Even though Xin Jun was emotionally stable and had mental preparation, he let out a long sigh of relief at this moment, finally accepting the fate of their control group.

Expensive is expensive, making money is making money. Their homestay isn't bad either. Once the film crew leaves, there will be anglers coming all year round. The main focus is on a steady, long-term business.

Hmph!

The most urgent task is to keep a close eye on the new employees to get the cleaning done! Later, they can recruit people from the village to learn, and slowly, the staff will be complete.

Wu Lan, however, was full of expectation: "Will there be celebrities staying in the homestay then? I have to go see. I've lived for most of my life and haven't seen a celebrity yet."

It wasn't just her; everyone had spent their whole lives revolving around the village. Who had ever seen a celebrity? Song Tan reminded her: "If you want to see them, just go to the riverbank film set. Mom, you must not go to the homestay."

She didn't know what kind of temper the other party had. What if they had a bad temper and made her mother uncomfortable? Distance creates beauty.

Wu Lan retorted: "I'm not like you young people, running all over the country to chase a celebrity, howling and waiting in the middle of the night... I'll just take a look if I happen to run into them on the road!"

"If the young man is handsome, I'll ask if we can take a photo together. If not, it's fine. Isn't this just for the novelty!"

Although Song Tan didn't know who was coming, she looked at Lu Chuan: "Mom, you should lower your expectations first. I estimate they aren't even as good-looking as Lu Chuan!"

Everyone turned their gaze over together.

A moment later, they said in unison: "That's certainly true!"

But it would still be nearly 10 days before the film crew arrived. Everyone was expectant, but soon they went back to their own business. The tea on the mountain, the vegetables in the field, the growing fruit, the wheat about to ripen...

Every single thing was waiting to be done!

And in the distant mountain city, after two days of transit, the package finally arrived successfully at the Shancheng Zoo.

"Hello, Fengfeng Express..."

Qiao Yu took off her jumpsuit and said to her colleague: "I'm going to pick up a package."

The other party stared at the giant panda with a gloomy face and nodded absentmindedly: "Go ahead, go ahead."

Rong Rong now sleeps all day long. It's useless for them to guard here. The park manager, on the other hand, comes seven or eight times a day, and batch after batch of experts from all over have been invited...

No way!

Several tubes of blood have been drawn, and the test results show that the animal simply doesn't want to eat.

Who can you reason with about this?

Is it the bad environment that made them depressed? Or is the enrichment not interesting enough? Or maybe there are too many tourists?

They have soundproof glass installed, and the giant panda exhibit is the largest in the entire zoo. That shouldn't be it, right?

In short, it's worrying!

Everyone from top to bottom is worried. Qiao Yu was absentmindedly unpacking the package, not knowing if her job would still be secure if something really happened to Rong Rong...

As soon as the box was opened, she saw her colleague ask curiously: "What kind of package are you so eager to have sent to the zoo? Our exhibit area is checked strictly."

Looking down again: what a sturdy cardboard box, what dense bubble wrap, yet wrapped in layers was a plump bamboo shoot.

The bamboo shoot itself was also wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, presumably to keep it from getting old during the shipping process, but the colleague became nervous:

"You bought this online? You can't just feed it anything!"

Qiao Yu nodded: "I didn't buy it. I accidentally entered a livestream room and found out they were giving it away in a lucky draw—I saw the comments saying this is a good thing, a really, really good one, so I wanted to try it."

She took the bamboo shoot and went out: "I'll tell the leader and see if we should test this bamboo shoot. What if Rong Rong likes it?"

She had been watching the livestream for a long time and had also watched the previous replays. Although she didn't really understand the price, no matter what it was, it would be snatched up in seconds as soon as the link went up, and the comments were all about buying, buying, buying...

In short, seeing the end, she couldn't help but feel expectant: what if?

While she was pondering, she arrived at the leader's office.

"Xiao Qiao, is there something wrong?"

Turning to see the bamboo shoot in her hand, the leader asked again: "Just picked it up from the storage? Try feeding it. We tried three kinds yesterday and Rong Rong didn't like any of them."

Qiao Yu shook her head and explained the whole story: "I just came to ask, can we try this bamboo shoot?"

Speaking of trying, their zoo has gone through quite a few varieties from all over the country during this period, so adding this one now doesn't count for much.

The leader hesitated for a moment: "Fine, test it and then try it."

Feeding giant pandas is quite cautious. They have a specialized testing lab. After peeling the bamboo shoot and taking random samples, because Rong Rong hadn't eaten properly for a long time, they hurriedly gave the result after only basic testing:

"It's edible."

Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took the peeled, pale yellow, plump bamboo shoot toward the park—if they waited any longer, this bamboo shoot wouldn't be fresh anymore!

Because Rong Rong was in poor condition, the exhibit hadn't been open recently, and the park was empty. It was curled up under the familiar tree, sleeping soundly, looking as if there was nothing unusual.

But with Qiao Yu's "mother filter" added, she always felt it was visibly thinner.

"Baby..." she sighed: "What on earth do you want to eat? If this continues, the leader will be desperate enough to climb the Guanyin Bodhisattva's purple bamboo forest in the middle of the night..."

Just as she was speaking, she saw Rong Rong, who had been ignoring people, suddenly turn over and sit up. Its soft, plump body quickly bent into a dumpling shape, and it reached out its claws to grab the bamboo shoot in Qiao Yu's hand!

Qiao Yu:?!!!

She was so happy she almost laughed out loud, but she saw her colleague gesturing to her through the glass, so she regained her composure, suppressed her wildly fluctuating emotions, and then steadily handed over the bamboo shoot:

"Do you want to eat this?"

The next moment, she saw Rong Rong had already hugged the bamboo shoot into its arms without hesitation. Because there was no need to peel the husk, it opened its mouth and bit down with a crunch, taking off 1/3 of it directly.

Qiao Yu held her breath and watched from the side, and at this moment, she had another thought in a daze:

This bamboo shoot sounds really tender!
