I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 394: The Principal is Generous!

Employee group chat.

Fang Ye: "Everyone has worked hard! Especially those who stayed over the New Year, happy New Year!"

About two-thirds of the employees chose to stay during the Lunar New Year. Most of those who took leave were from out of town.

The local employees could still make it home for the New Year after the park closed. Their salaries were already high, and with the triple wages during the holiday period, they were quite enthusiastic.

"Happy New Year, Director!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year! /Celebrate/Celebrate"

Lü Ye: "/Sneaky, isn’t the director going to hand out a red packet?"

Lin Ying joined in the clamor: "Hand out red packets! Hand out red packets!"

He Yifei: "Red packet! Red packet!"

Fang Ye was actually planning to give out red packets in the chat, as a way to share some joy with everyone.

And indeed, the development of the zoo really couldn’t have been achieved without everyone’s hard work!

He wanted to put more money into it, but he got a notification that the total amount for a single payment couldn’t exceed twenty thousand yuan.

So, he’d just send out several packets.

Before sending out the red packets, he reminded them: "Get ready, guys! These are big red packets!"

"Yeah, ready!"

"All set!"

"It’s coming! I just finished eating dumplings and saw this!"

"I can hardly wait!"

"Grab, grab, grab!"

The news that Fang Ye was handing out red packets practically exploded among the employees!

Suddenly, there was a festive, New Year’s atmosphere in the chat. Well, it was indeed the New Year.

He first sent a lucky draw red packet of ten thousand yuan.

"Quick, the red packet is here!"

"Holy cow, that’s huge, Director is awesome!"

Lü Ye: "Hahahahaha!! I got 30 yuan, just ask who got more! From now on, call me ’lucky star’!"

"Damn, 300! Director is awesome!"

Bao: "I got 700! Wow, such a big red packet, I can go show off on social media now!"

"You guys are so lucky, I only got 100!"

Lan Li: "Hehe, 340, that should be above average, right?"

"Boohoo, how come I only got 50! Brother Lü, let’s cry together!"

Lü Ye: "????"

Lin Ying: "@Lü Ye, hold on, see how much the director sent."

Lü Ye: "I’m stunned! It was actually a ten-thousand-yuan red packet, and with over 40 people in the group, the average is 200 yuan!"

...

Lü Ye reclined on the couch contentedly, nibbling on a chicken foot, and tapping on his phone.

The Spring Festival Gala was totally not interesting now, nowhere near as fun as the phone, where everyone in the group was sending red packets.

He had been grabbing for a while, all one or two yuan, at most a few yuan. He envied those who occasionally got ten or more yuan, then suddenly grabbed a thirty and was thrilled!

But when he saw it was from a ten-thousand-yuan red packet, and the most anyone got was 700, he almost choked on a chicken bone and cried with frustration.

...

With anticipation, Bao opened a red packet. At first, he thought it was 70 yuan, but something seemed off about the numbers, and it turned out to be 700!

He typed with trembling hands, excitedly exclaiming, "Holy shit! Such a big red packet!"

His mom was watching a skit, glanced at him disapprovingly: "Getting so worked up over a red packet, why?"

"700 yuan! 700 yuan!"

"What?" Mother was also surprised.

...

Fang Ye sent another red packet! This time, it was an ordinary one.

Lü Ye: "Hahahaha, exactly 200 yuan, just look how lucky I got this round!"

Guan Shan: "Why do I feel like you’re just like the red panda?"

Lü Ye: "Is that a compliment on how cute I am?"

He Yifei: "No! It means you’re as silly as the red panda!"

"Damn!"

"Quick, grab it, grab it, red packets are being sent out again!"

"Holy moly! The Director is awesome!"

"I was just about to buy some books, but I was a bit reluctant. Now I can buy them without a second thought!"

"Haha, now I can buy two toys for the kiddos! Thanks, Director!"

"What ’thanks, Director’? Thank the god of wealth!"

"Director, I love you to death!"

Fang Ye sent out 5 red packets in a row, two regular ones and three random amounts.

Regular red packets were mainly for the likes of Lü Ye who had consistent bad luck! But sending out random amount red packets was more thrilling. Otherwise, it’s boring if everyone gets the same amount.

Everyone could get around 1000 yuan each.

Lü Ye: "5555, I’m mentally shattered! I got less than 200 from those random amounts combined!"

Some were sad, others were happy. Bao: "Holy sh*t, I’ve gotten 2000 from these red packets!"

Lü Ye: "…Life’s not fair! I’m going to cover myself with a blanket and cry my eyes out."

"Damn it! Beat him up!"

"This luck is incredible! Could it be because of the Ice Cake animal keeper? The White Tiger is a divine creature, after all!"

"No way, tomorrow I’m going to find Ice Cake and make a wish!"

Meng Shi: "I used to keep alpacas, and now I keep tigers, both divine creatures! So why do I only have 1400."

"1400 is pretty good too!"

"Your alpaca isn’t a legitimate divine creature!"

Fang Ye posted a grinning dog emoji: "Hehe, are you guys happy? I’ll send more tomorrow."

Without anyone directing them, the employees started flooding the chat with messages.

"Long live the Director!"

"Long live the Director!"

"Director rules!"

"Director rules!"

This red packet was too generous, clicking on a red packet brought in more money than a day’s work, a complete and delightful surprise.

Three times the salary for the New Year, plus the year-end bonus and red packets, were like hitting the jackpot.

Of course, the old employees got a bit more for their year-end bonus, the bonus for those who joined in recent months was calculated proportionally for the months worked, and it was also tied to whether they actively tried enrichment or if there were any stereotypes about the animals.

Fang Ye: "Well then, I wish everyone a happy new year. It’s been tough working these past few days. Take a good rest after this busy period."

"Oh!"

"Happy New Year!"

...

Returning home in the evening.

Mother Fang: "How long will you stay this time?"

Fang Ye scratching his head: "Well, probably just these two days? There’s still quite a lot going on at the zoo! Several animals are about to give birth soon, and I have to go back and check on them!"

Animal childbirth can be quite troublesome!

With farm animals or pets, some work can be done during labor. If an abnormal fetal position is detected and they can’t deliver, you can help by pulling a bit, adjusting the fetal position.

Wild animals all give birth naturally, without the need for human interference, which shouldn’t happen, especially with carnivores. If interfered with, the mother might feel threatened and could abandon, or even eat the offspring out of stress.

Usually, before animals give birth, all that needs to be done is to set up a suitable nest in the enclosure, disinfect, and lay down some straw, and after birth, not to peek or disturb. If there is difficulty in labor, there’s nothing that can be done, as this is a challenge the animals must face on their own.

For Fang Ye, there wasn’t much he could do besides observe!

Soothing has no use during animal childbirth—they just need to exert the effort to push out the baby like defecating, or to use a more professional term, they need to exert contractions. Any soothing that causes the body to relax might make the cub go back inside, which is counterproductive.

But he could provide a bit of spiritual water to help the animal recover some vitality.

After giving birth, he could also observe without causing any distress to the animal.

Mother Fang, hearing this, couldn’t help but pout: "Only staying two days, then let’s all go watch a movie together tomorrow!"

"Great, I’m in!"
