Tired of discussing the topic of male gods with Wang Hao—whether it was the mainstream trend of charming young idols or the non-mainstream niche of sleazy, low-ss ones—it all had nothing to do with him anyway. There''s definitely something wrong with the aesthetics of this era. A man who solely relies on his good looks like himself is no longer in demand. It''s truly tragic...


    Getting back to the main topic, he and Wang Hao discussed issues of employment and treatment of the anchors after recruitment.


    All the anchors, regardless of gender, would be temporarily managed by the Taoyuan Entertainment Company after being recruited; ording to Suming''s view, they should be regarded as something between ''employees'' and ''artists'' and temporarily managed as employees.


    As forpensation, it would primarily be based on the gifts received, as the anchors wouldn''t have a base sry. But unlike star anchors, thepany would no longer take a 30% management fee. After deducting the part that goes directly to the animals, the gifts for the anchor would be split fifty-fifty between thepany and the anchor.


    Suming also discussed some safety issues. Apart from a few rtively tame animals, most animals still posed a certain level of danger, so he instructed Wang Hao to work on drafting an employee management protocol and a safety manual or something simr as soon as possible. Initially, it was crucial not to allow anchors toe into direct contact with the animals.


    "I have another suggestion, and I''ll just give you a general direction. You figure out the specifics," Suming said to Wang Hao, pausing and turning around as he was about to leave.


    "What is it?"


    "Have you ever seen the auditions for ''Super Girl''?" Suming said with a grin.


    ...


    Though Wang Hao was still as round as a ball, Suming was quite confident in his working capabilities. Now that the online tform was smoothly up and running and the future development n set, all they needed to do was to follow the n systematically.


    In terms of recruitment specifics, Suming only gave a broad direction, and Wang Hao understood the drill and began to take action.


    He didn''t go about recruitment as typicalpanies would, such as renting out an office building or a room for private one-on-one interviews.


    Before the interviews started, Wang Hao specificallymissioned a construction team to build a small stage on the grass in Yangchuan Zoo and announced that the interview process would be held publicly in the zoo and simultaneously livestreamed on the online tform.


    At the same time, Wang Hao also contacted local vendors selling lobsters, beer, and fried chicken, preparing to set up food stalls during the interview.


    Just as Suming had said on TV, while the zoo''s live streaming tform aimed at promoting animal protection, it also gave grassroots talents a chance to showcase themselves before the public.


    So, following Suming''s ''suggestion,'' Wang Hao implemented the strategy, turning Taoyuan Entertainment''s internal audition into a public audition event akin to a reality show.


    The effect was indeed excellent. The first batch of auditions attracted arge crowd of onlookers, causing the zoo to unexpectedly extend its closing time to 9 PM.


    There was also a small incident where one day Ren Chen took the initiative to find Wang Hao and rmended a girl, hoping Wang Hao could pull some strings to let her be an anchor.


    When Wang Hao came to ask Suming, Suming didn''t want to get involved after hearing it was a rmendation from Ren Chen. Meeting with Ren Chen would be somewhat awkward, so he simply watched a video of the girl.


    She fit the bill perfectly, as pure as a natural big white cabbage grown with farm manure in the countryside, both fresh and vibrant, precisely what would appeal to the ideal image of the boy-next-door for homebodies.


    "With my years of experience in judging people, she''s definitely an expert in acting the innocent," Wang Hao said with conviction.@@novelbin@@


    "You decide on this matter. But Ren Chen didn''t just tter you for help, right?" Suming said with a smile.


    "He tried to give me a card, which I refused. Later, he expressed that theirpany would be willing to fully sponsor the auditions," Wang Hao said, grinning, "Don''t be fooled by his lecherousness; he really is willing to spend money on women."


    "Money from the easily deceived is not to be missed," Suming said lightly.


    Suming was beginning to find Ren Chen an interesting person. Ever since he stopped harassing Nangong—if one could put aside his personal lifestyle issues—fairly speaking, Ren Chen was not your traditional antagonist. He was well-mannered publicly, capable, self-aware, knew how to weigh his actions, and was different from the typical rich second-generation who acted high and mighty solely based on their family''s wealth and power.


    Suming even felt that Ren Chen''s current attempt to pull strings and sponsor with arge sum of money wasn''t just for that natural big white cabbage of a girl; it was likely also an effort to mend their rtionship. There was no need for Suming to step in. A simple interaction between Wang Hao and Ren Chen might suffice as a response to his goodwill.

    "What is Yangchuan City Zoo up to now!! Are they really gearing up for a ''Super Girl'' audition or what!"


    After Yangchuan Zoo''s live streaming tform became popr, other zoos were quick to copy and set up their own tforms, with some already in the testing phase.


    Imitating may seem somewhat embarrassing to talk about, but if it works, many are still willing to do it.


    However, Yangchuan Zoo was too much of a sensation, especially with its ''inviting celebrities to livestream'' and ''grassroots anchors''...


    The other zoos had no choice but to continue imitating; what else could they do if not follow the trend? Could they really attract audiences solely with their zoos'' animals?


    Not to mention the star fans economy and the aspiring grassroots economy created by Yangchuan Zoo''s live streaming tform already drawingrge audiences, even the appeal of the animals alone was no matchpared to those of Yangchuan City Zoo.


    The result was a rather awkward situation: imitation might not guarantee sess, but from the current point of view, not imitating was certain doom.


    So, other zoos timidly began their promotions, intending to invite celebrities and recruit grassroots anchors.


    Just a few days passed, and Yangchuan City turned its grassroots anchor recruitment into a grand, nationwide talent search feast.


    "Boss, are we still copying or what?" The assistant asked with a blushing face.


    Copying once might be ignored with augh, since there are many imitative shows now; but copying twice starts to look bad, and being caught copying is embarrassing and like chewing on leftovers.


    In just a short timeframe, copying three times in a row was practically turning into a joke. Does it mean that apart from Yangchuan City Zoo, other zoos around the country have no creative capacity at all? Are they only capable of copying?


    The executives themselves felt embarrassed even without the audience poking fun.


    Stay connected with empire


    After long consideration, the leader finally sighed helplessly and said with rolling eyes, "We''vee this far, how can we not follow? If we follow, at worst we get to sip some soup even if they get to eat the meat."
