Chapter 484 - 482: A Person’s Reputation, Like a Tree’s Shadow
"A famous person’s influence is like a big tree’s shadow, Director Liu. I really didn’t expect you could invite him here. With Boss Wang’s traffic and our quality, I believe we might actually revive this place!"
Zhang Chunming excitedly explained to Director Liu.
Director Liu was still puzzled: "But if he’s the same as other influencers, why do you all think it’ll work if he comes? Why do other influencers want to back out on me?"
Zhang Chunming quickly explained, "It’s different, completely different. Comparing Boss Wang to them is an insult to Boss Wang!"
Pausing and seeing the director’s confused face, Zhang Chunming asked in surprise, "You don’t know him, so how did you get him to come?"
Director Liu coughed lightly and, seeing no one around, whispered, "I sent a mass message..."
"You’re amazing!"
Zhang Chunming gave a big thumbs-up, "You managed to fool a real star with a mass message. How much did you offer him? It’s probably just a fake check, right?"
Director Liu said proudly, "No money, not a single cent, at most waived his ticket and rental fees."
"Wow! Director, you’re something else!"
Zhang Chunming was completely convinced, raising two thumbs in admiration: "Getting Boss Wang for free, you’re a one-of-a-kind scorpion."
After all, it wasn’t something to be proud of, so Director Liu coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "You still haven’t said why his visit means we’re saved?"
Zhang Chunming, with a fanboy expression, said, "You’re busy all day, not knowing him is natural. He’s different from other influencers, who at most can only trick you into spending money. He actually gets people out of their homes!"
Watching a dance or listening to a song isn’t necessary at the venue, but if it’s about eating, you won’t taste anything trying to eat through the screen, right?
Besides, Boss Wang is someone who can invite people to the Great Border at the drop of a hat. Nanjing is much more convenient than the Great Border!
After Zhang Chunming’s explanation, Director Liu also felt it was unbelievable, just like buying a lottery ticket and winning fifty million directly!
Oh, no, it’s like finding a ticket worth fifty million on the street since he got it for free.
Enjoying a freebie is delightful, and consistently getting freebies is even better!
"So we must take good care of him, then our animal park can really be saved!"
Zhang Chunming was quite excited, having a deep bond with the animals, and considering how hard it is to find a job now, stabilizing it would be the best outcome.
"Here he comes, here he comes..."
Just then, a staff member ran into the office hurriedly, barely catching his breath, and shouted, "Boss Wang is here! I saw that big RV of his!"
"Wow! The God of Wealth is here!"
Zhang Chunming acted like he had a fire under him, pulling Director Liu along as they hurried outside, cautioning while running, "Whether we survive this depends entirely on how well you can serve Boss Wang! Don’t drop the ball at a crucial moment! Be ready to make sacrifices if needed; think of those animals waiting to be fed, just close your eyes and get it over with!"
Director Liu cursed, "Get lost, I’m already in my forties, I can’t handle this crap! You go!"
Zhang Chunming was indeed very excited at the moment, normally he wouldn’t speak like this.
His mood really was like seeing the light after clearing the mists.
Boss Wang! He is the real Boss Wang!
He just came back from France with even more fame, how many visitors will that attract?!
"In short, make sure to serve Boss Wang well. If conditions permit, do it, and if they don’t, create the conditions!"
The two chatted as they ran, quickly reaching the parking lot.
Seeing that impressive RV, Director Liu couldn’t help asking Zhang Chunming, "For such a big car, what’s our parking fee?"
Zhang Chunming almost wanted to punch the director to death, he’d practically turned into a money-grubber!
But he ultimately didn’t act on it, after all, the money the director made didn’t go into his own pocket.
He’s a hard-working person who could even sacrifice himself for his dreams.
...
Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian had already gotten out of the car.
The desolation of this animal park was indeed quite shocking to them.
No matter how bad an animal park might be, there should at least be some visitors during tourist peak season, right?
Yet looking over the parking lot, it was just empty.
"Let’s go, check out the entrance."
Wang Fan carried a backpack with a few bottles of water and some snacks inside. The two wore sun hats and sunglasses; the sun in August was still scorching hot, capable of quickly altering one’s skin tone.
The entrance was a beige archway with a five-star red flag in the middle. Through the dense forest, a cartoonish giant panda venue was faintly visible, clearly a panda house.
Wang Fan had indeed seen pandas before, after all, the Imperial Capital Zoo’s off-season combo ticket was only 14 yuan, even Second Uncle could afford it.
The pandas in the Imperial Capital Zoo were a spectacular presence in the whole panda circle.
Like the great elder with the titles "Security Captain" and "God of War," Meng Er from the People’s Education Edition baring teeth and ripping bamboo, and the Third Prince Meng Lan, who had multiple escape attempts and comes with his "Sunny Boy" background music.
Especially Meng Lan, when Wang Fan went there, it happened to coincide with the big fellow’s escape attempt. Its big head poking over the wall was indescribably cute. He simply couldn’t resist these national treasures with great looks and antics, even though they clearly could rely on strength alone.
Yet now he wonders, in this place claimed to be the most liberated zoo, will the pandas be different somehow?
Just thinking, he saw two people sprinting over, one in a suit with silver glasses, probably the director?
Director Liu saw them from afar and extended his hand, "Hello, are you Mr. Wang Fan?"
Wang Fan, shaking hands, said, "Hello, I’m Wang Fan, and this is my girlfriend, Zhuo Qianqian."
Director Liu warmly greeted, "Hello, welcome from afar, my apologies for not welcoming you sooner."
Wang Fan shook his head, "It’s alright, you go ahead with your work. You don’t need to pay special attention to us, we’re just wandering around casually."
Director Liu declined, "How could we let you wander alone? This is our most veteran keeper, let him accompany you two on a tour?"
Zhang Chunming stepped forward quickly, "Hello Boss Wang, my name is Zhang Chunming, I’m a keeper here, and I’m your fan."
His voice was a bit excited because he really was a fan of Wang Fan, although his unpaid salary left him no extra money to chase food around.
But it turned out well; the person appeared right in front of him!
Wang Fan smiled and shook hands with Zhang Chunming too, "Hello, go ahead if you have things to do, we can wander by ourselves."
Having someone tailing him would make Wang Fan feel uncomfortable.
Director Liu heard the persistence in Wang Fan’s voice, "Alright, follow me, then, we can head directly from this side."
Wang Fan shook his head and said, "No need, I’ll buy a ticket. I’m not used to taking advantage of others."
