I Create Cultural Products at the Zoo

[New novel: A Little Courtyard Through the Four Seasons] Qin Chuhan grew up in a wildlife park and could hear animals' thoughts and talk with them. The new male lion in the lion enclosure suffered from severe social anxiety and would hide in a corner, whimpering whenever he had the chance. Every night, the black panther easily leaped over the security fence, evaded the cameras, and strolled around the park at its leisure. The monkeys on Wangyue Mountain were restless, plotting a hundred different ways to escape. The macaw was the park's biggest gossip monger. The Asian elephant and giraffe bickered all the time. If they couldn't see each other for a day, they worried so much they couldn't even eat. And then there was the orca in the aquarium. It looked adorable on the outside, but was cursing up a storm on the inside. It really loved swearing... More than ten years passed in a flash, and Director Qin suddenly made a major decision: he canceled the animal shows! Visitor numbers plummeted, investors pulled out, and revenue fell sharply. The zoo was at risk of going under. Qin Chuhan glanced at the drawing tablet in her hands and suggested to her father, "Let's make some merchandise!" She designed anime-style characters for the animals, giving them all kinds of personas: cute, handsome, sweet, and even a fierce, temperamental demon king! They launched a Weibo account, started livestreaming, created themed events, and sold merchandise... The socially anxious lion king became famous, the black panther got a fan club, and sales of alpaca cushions and panda mugs repeatedly hit new highs. Everyone's lives improved, and Director Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief. [Bonus Scene 1] Qi Yingchen stood with his arms crossed in front of the chimpanzee enclosure, listening to them discuss him. "The new vet's a returnee, with a pretty impressive degree. He's not bad-looking, either. Wonder how rich his family is?" "Look at his watch. That's a Patek Philippe!" Qi Yingchen: "..." Well, they sure knew their stuff. [Bonus Scene 2] Macaw: "I just saw that bastard Qi Yingchen corner Hanhan in the aviary and kiss her! Guys, grab your weapons!" The black panther, which roamed the park every night: Seen it a dozen times already... --Reader's Guide-- 1. This story is packed with fictional details. Everything is set up to serve the plot.

The relationship between animals and people in this story is fundamentally different from the relationship between pets and their owners. 4. The male lead is single and has never had a girlfriend. There are misunderstandings early on, but they're cleared up quickly. 5. The main characters are human, and the story revolves around people and animals.

There's really no need to buy every volume or aim for a complete collection. Don't waste your money!] [Coming Soon: A Little Courtyard Through the Four Seasons] The old house, which was supposed to be demolished, suddenly wasn't going to be torn down after all. Standing outside her home, Xia Qing heard her uncle and aunt arguing heatedly over sending Grandma to a nursing home. She immediately decided to quit her job, leave the big city, return to her hometown to care for her grandmother, and start a business from scratch! # In the ancient town of Anhuai, the clear river divides the town into two distinct areas. On the left bank are residential courtyards built in the 1960s, tucked away in quiet alleys and forgotten by everyone. On the right bank is a lively commercial district, bustling with business and illuminated all night long. One day, a beautiful young woman pushed a cart of tiramisu out of an alley. Twinkling star lights hung from the cart, and a little blackboard read: Fifteen yuan a spoonful! She's open for business! # When the neighbors saw Xia Qing making money, they all followed her example. Xia Qing offered them ideas: wontons stuffed with fresh meat, a secret-recipe one-pot feast, flower-infused wine, handmade rice noodles, caramelized baked pears... Don't know how to do any of that? Then livestream to promote your business! Little by little, the alley came alive. Tourists started flocking there, and Xia Qing finally opened her cafe deep in the alley and became a barista. # No one knew that Xia Qing had been reborn. She had gone from thirty years old to twenty-eight, and instead of staying at a big corporation and working herself to the bone, she returned to her hometown to be by her grandmother's side. She planted flowers, played with the dog, and chatted with the neighbors. She thought about how to grow the business and what to eat for dinner. Life is what you make of it, and better days are yet to come! Family and neighborhood life / Grandmother and granddaughter's daily life / Street-stall economy / Career and everyday life at the center, with some romance for the main characters Theme: Protecting animals is everyone's responsibility
