I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 209 Animal Hospital

In the past few days, the animal hospital at the zoo, Fang Ye's little villa, the lion exhibit, and Lemur Island have all been successively completed!

The animal hospital is located next to the new office area, and the office building will still take some time to finish.

As for Fang Ye's little villa, it is built on a small hillside, to the right of the new office area. Spanning two stories, each with an area of 200 square meters, drawing back the curtains in the morning offers a panoramic view of the zoo's scenery.

The side yard is 100 square meters, paved with a mix of stone slabs and pebbles, leading to a fifty-square-meter crystal-clear swimming pool, flanked by two enormous palm trees adding a holiday retreat vibe. However, Fang Ye isn't much of a swimmer, but lounging by the pool, basking in the sun, and reading a book is quite pleasant!

Along both sides of the path are two flower beds where, aside from planting flowers, vegetables could also be planted, but Fang Ye hasn't decided exactly what yet. Traditional-style square street lamps have been installed and will light up at night.

However, the interior decoration still needs to be done by oneself, and for now, the house is empty and will take a while before it can be inhabited.

This type of residence is essentially like a large duty room, or a hotel within the park!

There's nothing wrong with the park director's duty room being in a slightly better environment, right?

Now that the exhibits for the lions and ring-tailed lemurs have been completed and the quarantine period is over, they've been moved to the new exhibit's holding area.

These next couple of days they can get used to the environment and the exhibits will officially open to the public during the National Day celebration.

Fang Ye has decided to start a live stream to give netizens a sneak peek.

He called over Lan Li and instructed, "You do a drone live stream today. When we film the lions, just stay outside, that will be enough!"

He has been visiting the lions almost daily, feeding them, and has become quite familiar with them. Under the subtle influence of the "Heart of Nature," the lions' attitude towards him has become much friendlier, allowing him to pet them calmly, but they still remain wary of the other staff!

Having Lan Li enter the tiger exhibit to film Jiaojiao isn't a problem, as Jiaojiao won't attack her, but Lan Li herself is fairly frightened.

But with lions, it's different; he can't guarantee that they won't get angry.

If they suddenly turn aggressive and knock Lan Li down, what if they hurt her before anyone can intervene with slippers? It's too dangerous.

Therefore, using a drone to aerially film from outside the exhibit is the safest option!

"Mhm, mhm," Lan Li nodded eagerly like a pecking chick.

Start the live stream!

"Here we go!"

"Hello, Director!"

"I wasn't satisfied with the Mid-Autumn Festival live stream, I really want to go there in person!"

"Seeing how lavish the animals' mooncakes were, I was so envious!"

"Where's the assistant miss? If Miss is there, say something!"

With the influx of netizens, the live stream room quickly became lively.

Fang Ye greeted the viewers in the live stream room with a laugh, "Hello everyone, do you notice anything different about today's live stream compared to usual?"

"Different?" the netizens were puzzled, "We didn't notice!"

"Is it a live stream in the morning? The director usually prefers to live stream in the afternoon."

Fang Ye shook his head in mock disappointment, "No one guessed something so obvious, didn't you notice I've become even more handsome?"

"My God, I have never seen someone so shamelessly thick-skinned!"

"Tch, tch, tch! So shameless."

"I'm impressed, my biggest admiration goes to the director for being able to praise his own looks with a straight face!"

"Cut the vague stuff, what are you planning to stream today?"

Fang Ye laughed and said, "Our zoo's construction has been ongoing, and recently the animal hospital, lion exhibit, and ring-tailed lemur island have all been completed. The lions and ring-tailed lemurs have also finished their quarantine and moved into their exhibits, so today I'll take everyone for a look! However, the official opening will still wait until National Day."

"Wow, awesome!"

"That's great, I'm planning to drive to Linhai for vacation during the National Day break, and I didn't expect to be able to catch the lion exhibit!"

"I also plan to go to Linhai for National Day!"

Instead of feeling happy, Fang Ye felt a hint of concern when he saw comments about coming to Linhai for National Day. Wouldn't there be too many people? If there were too many visitors, it might affect the visiting experience. Should he consider setting up a reservation system for tickets?

But then he thought about it, Linhai Zoo's influence was not that big yet, and most visitors were still locals. It probably wouldn't bring tens of thousands of out-of-towners specifically to crowd the zoo. This thought brought him some relief.

Nevertheless, it was still a bit of an oversight. Next time, for big holidays like Spring Festival, he would have to learn from this experience and prepare a reservation system in advance!

There should also be contingency plans. They would discuss what to do in case of overcrowding at the meeting tomorrow.

Fang Ye's thoughts drifted for a bit, then he quickly came back to the present and smiled, "Come on, I'll take you to see our animal hospital first!"

Inside the animal hospital, both the interior and exterior were decorated in a wood panel style, with the exterior walls in a dark brown, the roof in a light yellow, and the warm little yellow lights creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

"Hey, not bad at all!"

"It looks pretty spacious; it must be comfortable to stay in!"

How could it not be spacious? The original zoo veterinary office was just in the office building, limited to the space of two offices.

Fang Ye chuckled and introduced, "The animal hospital covers an area of 300 square meters! It is divided into two floors, with the main door facing the street, facilitating the transport of vehicles and stretchers. This half-meter-high barrier separates the inside from the outside, allowing the interior disinfection area to remain free from street pollution.

The first floor is mainly the veterinary office, a nursery, and an animal recovery room, with the recovery room requiring soft lighting, so it's positioned on the north side! The ventilation is just natural airflow.

The second floor is the office area and laboratory, as well as storage and bedrooms. The storage contains various medicines, and the bedrooms are convenient for veterinarians to take care of animals, so they can rest here at night."

As he was talking, he saw the old porter Meng Shi passing by with an iron frame bed on his shoulder, not flushed or out of breath. Lin Ying hailed from a doorway, "Over here, over here! Put the bed here! Oh, director, you're streaming, hello everyone."

"Hello, miss! Are you a veterinarian?"

"This miss is also very pretty, love it, love it!"

"Damn, I also want to apply for a job at the director's zoo!"

"She is our zoo's veterinarian, Lin Ying! How do you feel about the new animal hospital?"

Fang Ye pretended to interview Lin Ying, and she responded with a beaming smile, "It's great, the environment is fantastic!"

After Meng Shi returned from placing the bed, Fang Ye patted his shoulder and said with a grin, "Hard work there, man. When it comes to selecting the zoo's outstanding employees this year, you definitely deserve it!"

Meng Shi smiled naively and continued to help with moving items!

"I saw him during the Mid-Autumn Festival stream, playing the gong!"

"The one who was carrying the red flag leading the team!"

"That's the security team leader, isn't it!"

Fang Ye shook his head, "You guys are underestimating him, haha. This keeper, Meng Shi, represents the saying 'a brave heart underneath a gentle appearance,' he's very attentive when taking care of the animals! Not only does he take care of animals, but he also deters uncivil visitors, helps with moving things, and sets up exhibits. You can say he's a jack-of-all-trades!

Let's go, let's take a look at the backyard."
