Super Zoo-Chapter 679 - 669 Devoted Teacher Lin

```

The young ibis didn't yet understand the sorrow of not having "chicken... chicken," but Lin Mu almost did.

After pretending to be a performance artist in the back mountain for some time, Lin Mu became exceedingly familiar with a group of female performing arts school students and crowd actors who came in admiration.

Acting is something that requires talent.

Some people, like Long Wu's son, who could have relied on his dad to live comfortably, insisted on learning to act, working as hard as a dog, yet simply lacking the knack for it. The patron saint of acting didn't favor him with a meal ticket. Each role he played was worse than the last; the play succeeded, but he didn't become famous—a helpless situation.

Lin Mu was different; he was naturally skilled at acting. With just a slight flutter of an eyelid or a soft pout from a young girl, he could immediately get into character. After some time, due to his good looks... no, his good performance, approachability, and the mysterious aura of being a 'classmate of Mr. Su,' he quickly became the 'Teacher Lin' in the hearts of the back mountain performing arts school girls.

Wang Jin's "The Great Fairy Tale" had already finished shooting a while ago, and he had returned to Xiangjiang to handle distribution and premiere matters. Last weekend, he received a notice that a young director in Xiangjiang wanted to start a new film, lacking a lead male role.

This film was a niche art piece, expected not to pass mainland censorship and only be released locally in Xiangjiang. With a small investment and modest returns, it was a passion project of the director. Wang Jin recommended Lin Mu for the lead male role.

A virgin male college student, desperate to lose his virginity and hitting on various women.

Lin Mu happily accepted the role, bid farewell to the group of female students, and boarded the plane to Xiangjiang.

He sent Suming a photo from the set yesterday. In one scene, Lin Mu was flirting with a fitness coach and got a knee to the groin...

It was said that filming that scene was tough. The actress playing opposite Lin Mu had trouble getting the force right; too light and it looked fake, but if she went full force, she was afraid of really hurting him. He could get hurt anywhere else, but that particular spot was absolutely off-limits.

After several failed takes, the director got a bit annoyed and ordered a break for an hour.

The actress also a newcomer, was nervous about her rare chance on camera, as she only had a few scenes, she was almost in tears. Without any hesitation, Lin Mu put his characteristic approach to work, pulled the actress aside to a corner of the set, and went through the scene with her in detail...

After being "hit" thirteen times, the actress finally got into the groove and executed a perfect knee in front of the cameras.

Word of Lin Mu's professionalism quickly spread in Xiangjiang's small film circle...

"Did you experience the feeling of having your eggs cracked?" Wang Hao asked in the group chat.

"I almost became numb to it afterward..." Lin Mu said.

A few photos of him being hit and bending over in agony, with a pained expression, were sent to the group chat, leaving everyone in stitches.

"Take care of yourself," Suming sent Lin Mu in a private message.

"Don't worry, I really enjoy my current way of life," Lin Mu replied with a smiley face.

Suming didn't say much more. Everyone is a separate individual, and what may seem absurd or incomprehensible to outsiders can be a source of happiness and fulfillment for the person involved. Between classmates, he always adopted an approach of helping where he could but never intruding or insisting on others' private lives. Lin Mu was happy, and Suming was happy for him.

Half a week later, "The Great Fairy Tale" premiered simultaneously on the mainland and in Xiangjiang.

The film was a classic example of Wang Jin's style—tacky, boring, but genuinely funny. His movies should never be overthought for deeper meanings; they are purely for entertainment and to pass the time.

As usual, the film was met with poor reviews from critics in the film industry, with no hope of winning awards. However, the audience was willing to accept it, resulting in a very good box office return. With a budget of over thirty million, the film grossed 1.7 billion.

This kind of veteran director is a box office guarantee in and of himself. He doesn't need to innovate; as long as he maintains his standard, he can easily produce a film in a few months and earn tens or hundreds of millions securely.

Several scenes in the movie also marked the first appearance on the big screen for the three Tao Gardens of the zoo, which gave the zoo free national promotion.

About a third of the discussion about the film focused on a few special scenes. In the film's credits, a thank you was given along with the names of the friendly cooperation partners, Yangchuan City Zoo, and Taoyuan Scenic Area.

The Demonic Realm Taoyuan and Ink-wash Garden were prominently featured; most viewers from other places didn't know about these two new attractions of Yangchuan City Zoo. However, residents of Yangchuan City and anyone who had visited Yangchuan City Zoo could recognize them instantly.

It couldn't be helped, as these two places had such a high degree of recognition. Their architecture stood out as unique, their craftsmanship was exquisite, and each had a large number of distinctive animals living there. Across the nation, it's only at Yangchuan City Zoo.

Shortly after the movie was shown, there was a notable increase in the zoo's visitor flow.

Shen Yan's big data center, like a heavenly net, constantly monitored the data dynamics of all enterprises under Suming. According to the data provided by Mrs. Tong and Shen Yan, most of the additional visitors during this period were from out of town, with the longest stays occurring at the three Tao Gardens of the back mountain.

It sparked a small surge in tourism, and the zoo's operations were no longer entirely dependent on 'exhibiting' animals. The attractions of the back mountain finally gained substantial drawing power.

Shen Yan handed a pile of data over to Suming.

With so much data, Suming couldn't possibly go through all of it. He picked out some important parts to glance over, then put the report down.

```

"What are your thoughts?" Suming looked up and asked Shen Yan.

"Based on the current data, I suggest we should establish a company, or at least a team, specifically responsible for the travel business," Shen Yan said.

Suming was noncommittal, nodding his head to signal him to continue.

Right now, among the many capable subordinates in his various companies, each person had different characteristics.

Shen Yan belonged to the more rigorous and reliable type. He wasn't a gifted genius who could produce brilliant ideas on the fly, could not save the day at the last moment, nor could he conjure up a commercial empire out of thin air, but he was definitely an excellent right-hand man for the leadership.

Because all of his conclusions and ideas were derived from extensive data analysis, statistically speaking, big data equated to patterns.

Grasping historical patterns enabled one to predict the course of history; understanding the patterns of business allowed one to make theoretically sound choices.

Shen Yan continued, "This surge in travel isn't just due to Mr. Wang's movie. The initial foundation was laid by Terror Animal City. Movies are very good promotional tools, far more effective than ordinary advertisements. Many domestic 5A scenic spots have become hotspots in a short period of time because of one or several movies. Currently, the company has a partnership with Disney, and according to your planning, the film industry will be a major layout in the future. Plus, with the successful development of the future reserves, we can foresee that, as long as we can maintain the current quality, Taoyuan Group's travel business will continue to heat up."

He paused, seemingly hesitant about whether or not to continue.

Shen Yan and Suming were classmates, but their relationship was far from as close as Wang Hao and others with Suming; it was nothing more than alumni relations. Moreover, Shen Yan hadn't been under Suming's command for long, and there was some distance between him and the other veteran employees, so he was usually very measured in his speech and actions, never making it personal.

This was also something that Suming appreciated about him—a very grounded yet not rigid tech man.

"Feel free to speak your mind," Suming smiled, "It's your job to offer suggestions. Making decisions and judgments is my responsibility."

"Yes." Shen Yan adjusted his glasses, "Currently, Yangchuan City Zoo and the mountain behind it may seem integrated, but they are different. The zoo can't be considered the travel industry, at most it's a part of the overall layout for the travel sector. The zoo's employees, mostly animal keepers and clerks, are not familiar with the travel industry. That's why I said it was necessary to specifically establish a project team responsible for travel business, preferably a company, and hire professionals to do professional work."

Since he had started, Shen Yan went ahead and laid out everything, "The same applies to the reservoir area. Right now, the colleagues at the fishery company are skilled in aquaculture, but they might not be able to handle the travel business properly. Aquaculture, animal husbandry management, and tourism—I suggest it would be more sensible to separate these functions in terms of job responsibilities."

This statement, if leaked, could inevitably offend people. Using Yangchuan City Zoo as the base, the travel business in the mountainous area had developed. Now, if a new department or even a company were established, it would seem like "reaping the victory spoils" and a suspicion of power sharing.

Suming had thought of this too.

After all, developing the travel business was a crucial part of his future business layout; the zoo, the mountain, the reservoir were just points in the travel industry.

With the travel industry booming, it would bring not only economic benefits but also very positive social impacts.

Moreover, this was something the Yangchuan City Government was pleased to see—upgrading and transitioning to a green economy.

As the travel industry flourished day by day, Suming's position in Yangchuan City would be hard to shake, supporting his various other strategic arrangements.

However, Shen Yan's concerns were not unfounded.

The current staff of the reservoir and zoo had been among the first to follow him in establishing his domain, with deep tenure and, for the most part, good personal relationships with Suming.

People inevitably have emotions and desires, and various thoughts. At such times, whoever was put in charge of managing the travel business would, in some ways, be put above everyone else.

Choosing who would manage was like putting someone on a hot griddle.

Suming thought for a moment; to do the travel business well, the candidate must meet several conditions.

First, the person must be from the travel industry—that was a basic technical requirement;

Second, it would be best if the person weren't one of his current employees, to prevent others from being jealous;

Third, the person needed a certain "status" to command respect, at least in the short term.

As for the candidate, Suming did have someone in mind, but it remained to be seen whether they would be willing.

My recent updates have been sparse, and I've shown up less, so I must first apologize.

Then the reason: I'm preparing to seriously court a girl and sort out my personal issues.

This girl, like me, belongs to the kind that is difficult to win over in love.

One difficult person attempting to win over another difficult person, who knows what might come of it… I'll report back if there's any news~~
