Super Zoo

Chapter 277 Distorted Psychology

as a nouveau riche, suming was fairly acquainted with the wealthy. persistence was the most typical characteristic of such people, especially someone like ren chen, a self-made boss,

one could say he was indefatigable or shameless, but either way, he wouldn't easily stop in the face of difficulties. doing business was no simple matter. even with family backing, it wasn't all smooth sailing. if one shrunk away at the first sign of trouble, ren chen's company wouldn't have grown so large.

**//cowards and successful people are fundamentally differentiated by their attitudes towards difficulty. the former evade it, blame others or curse their fate for not having a wealthy father, and then sulk about it, feeling the entire society owes them; the latter look for solutions or simply give up completely.

so after nangong directly rejected ren chen, for safety's sake, suming initiated 'biological surveillance' on ren chen.

haidong qing was like a central computer in the air, monitoring the overall situation, and a large number of wasps functioned as individual nodes, tracking ren chen. if anything suspicious occurred, suming would be the first to know.

knowing that ren chen and yang meng of yangchuan city tv station had met, suming felt something wasn't right. he hurried to the vicinity of the foreign business club and used the soul attachment ability to let a small wasp follow them into the private room, eavesdropping on their conversation.

of course, it wasn't just the conversation he overheard. the lewd acts they indulged in afterward, suming also saw through the eyes of the wasp.

wasps have compound eyes, and it was as if suming was looking at many large screens arranged together, playing simultaneously, a rather thrilling experience...

ren chen pursuing nangong was something suming was certain to dislike, but could understand. a fair lady is a gentleman's delight, and a scoundrel's too. the standard nangong yan exhibited was there for all to see. it was entirely normal for ren chen to like her. putting oneself in ren chen's shoes, having cold water thrown publicly in one's face and even the videos posted online, one would definitely feel upset.

but what did this have to do with yang meng?! from beginning to end, nangong yan had never provoked yang meng. claims like 'you can only blame yourself for standing in my way' were just nonsense, even the head of the tv station stood in the way of yang meng becoming the head.

one could only say that this woman was twisted inside.

fortunately, knowing yang meng and ren chen's subsequent plan meant they no longer posed a significant threat.

surprisingly, their plan was to manipulate the situation using foxes, which exactly mirrored the 'exploiting feudal superstitions for profit' issue suming had once considered.

reforming the zoo with a new young director aiming for economic gain by exploiting feudal superstition... it sounded like a decent plot.

suming had been on high alert for this from the start, acting very cautiously, but yang meng still sought to attack him with it. it's the thought that counts, but suming may have actually been at a disadvantage if he hadn't learned of their scheme in advance.

if old song had still been in charge, given his experience and prestige, this trivial matter certainly wouldn't have touched him, but it was enough to trouble suming, a green youngster. if things went poorly, even the position of deputy director could have been stripped away.

"how come their thoughts coincide with mine so exactly?" suming couldn't help but laugh. could it be that villains all think alike?

even if they hadn't brought it up, he had been planning to regulate the fox immortal project himself. after the restructuring, it was probably better to distinguish between the zoo's and his personal assets. now was the perfect opportunity to take care of it all at once.

besides, taking a perfectly popular entertainment project and politicizing it was simply an absurd waste of time and effort, a case of looking for trouble when there was none.

even if they went to investigate, what evidence could they possibly find? director shi and his family had visited fox home, now the ancient moon xian residence, which hosted some foreign foxes that were quite adorable. he hadn't seen any feudal superstitious activities there!

"leader, i've observed the situation for a few days and am absolutely confident. there are definitely people engaging in this type of activity. just give me personnel and resources, and i can capture it!" yang meng lowered her voice, "once we have evidence, they won't be able to explain it away. the money from tickets and wish-making charms could be framed as profiting from feudal superstition..."

"enough, enough..." deputy director shi waved his hand impatiently and stared at yang meng, asking word by word, "what's your big vendetta against the zoo? are you intent on throwing mud on them?"

yang meng didn't have a vendetta against the zoo; her grievance was with nangong yan, unilaterally, an unrequited love met with unrequited hatred.

yang meng was even more encouraged, "moreover, as far as i know, the fox home project isn't entirely the zoo's own, but is contracted to taoyuan entertainment company, a purely profit-driven project! a private enterprise exploiting religious superstition for profit..."

after hearing yang meng out, deputy director shi stood up, paced back and forth in his office with his hands behind his back.

yang meng's analysis wasn't unreasonable—if exploited properly by the media, there could be an angle to this story.

still, it was a story that couldn't be delved into too deeply, didn't hold much importance, and would offend people.

after thinking it over, he decided to let it go. even if they obtained evidence and implicated the zoo, it would be a thankless task.

"leader, if you agree to let me investigate this time and approve the manpower and equipment for me, i'm sure i can dig up some insider info, and then we're even," yang meng offered her final bargaining chip.

for yang meng, this was a great opportunity to return to the front line of programming! she provided the clues, planned the project, conducted the undercover investigation, and would be the only one to appear on tv as the host in the end.

the hotter the fox spirit project was now, the more attention the undercover report would receive when broadcasted. as the instigator, yang meng would naturally regain importance within the tv station.

her final bargaining chip convinced shi. he didn't want to entangle with this madwoman anymore. after a moment's consideration, he said, "i can approve the personnel and equipment, and the program can be yours to do. but remember, first, the impact should not be too wide-reaching, limited only to the zoo, absolutely must not extend to deyuan temple or other religious organizations, and certainly cannot involve wang jian she; second, you must adhere to impartiality during the program production, report the facts objectively, and not repeat the mistakes of the past!"

"don't worry; there will be no issues this time. then i'll go prepare," yang meng felt invigorated by the prospect of turning her fortunes around.

"hold on." shi called out to her, speaking sternly, "yang meng, considering past events, i'm giving you this opportunity, but if you mess it up, there won't be a next time."

"shi, you underestimate me."
