Super Zoo-Chapter 401 - 397 ’Me and It
The next day, the zoo’s live streaming platform underwent internal personnel changes.
A female host named Nana had a big fight with Wang Hao and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.
Rumors circulated that she had been fired, while others said that Nana had quit on her own to hop over to another live streaming platform.
Afterward, Wang Hao sent an electronic version of the data analysis report to each host, solidifying the direction and stylistic tone for the zoo live streaming platform going forward.
Wang Hao called an internal meeting of the live streaming platform and expressed in an unusually serious tone that since the right direction had been found, it was simple logic to follow it without room for doubt. If any hosts didn’t understand or agree with the company’s philosophy, they could discuss it privately with Wang Hao. If they really could not accept it, it was fine to part on good terms—as Taoyuan Entertainment would not make things difficult for them or withhold the income they deserved.
In light of the detailed data, Suming instructed Wang Hao to take decisive action, even employing both carrot and stick. The meeting achieved a degree of unity in thinking and rallying of hearts.
Following the internal personnel changes, the live streaming platform promptly released a major announcement to the public.
The platform was launching a new program, simply named ’Me and It,’ which would feature a special guest in each episode.
At the same time, Taoyuan’s social media account on Weibo was updated with the same information.
The followers of Taoyuan’s social media account had just crossed the one million mark.
Unlike some ’manipulated’ social media accounts, the followers of Taoyuan were all genuine people with scarcely any fake or bot followers which is why the discussion area was always very lively.
Soon after this announcement, there was a lot of discussion on Weibo.
"This name is so weird, ’Me and It’?"
"Dummy, dummy, dummy, dummy! What’s so weird about that? ’It’ must be an animal, haha, I figured it out, will the live host live together with an animal?"
"A reality show? Or maybe an XXX show—that’s not good, right… it could get banned..."
"Those who say it’s an XXX show are beasts. I’m only interested in who the special guests will be?"
"It must be celebrities, nowadays many celebrities have pets…"
"I don’t think so, celebrity appearance fees are too expensive, doing it occasionally is okay, but if you invited celebrities for every episode, that would cost a fortune?"
"Not necessarily, celebrities’ fees are high but they also have many fans, which means a lot of gifts can be received."
"This is a charitable activity, I think the celebrities won’t charge a fee, it’s also a promotion for themselves."
"@zoo director, come out and explain please. What exactly does ’Me and It’ mean?"
"It’s definitely about the stories between pets and their owners, isn’t that obvious?"

"Just saying weakly, I think celebrities showing their pets in live streams feels so fake…"
"Where is it fake?"
"I agree with the comment above, celebrities definitely want to show their best side in public, even if it’s not an act, I still feel like they’re putting on a show…"
"You’re just being paranoid, suffering from persecution complex…"

...
While Weibo was buzzing with discussions, Suming didn’t provide any specifics, merely leaving a start time for the show and setting up a suspense, keeping everyone eagerly waiting.
The news about the launch of the new program was mostly met with curiosity by the viewers.
But for the hosts of other live streaming rooms, it represented an invisible pressure.
Even before the room officially started streaming, it had already attracted viewers’ attention, indicating that once it launched, it would definitely pose a competition for them.
Some of the hosts, particularly the more astute, were quite familiar with Suming, the real big boss. Judging from Suming’s past ventures, every time he introduced something new, it would cause a minor sensation, and this new ’Me and It’ show would likely be no exception.
If it turned out to be like what the online community speculated, with a celebrity guest every episode, then the spotlight would be stolen from all other rooms!
The hosts couldn’t help but wonder: what exactly was this ’Me and It’ room?
Suming’s business was not small, and his social connections were expansive, so it was feasible for him to invite a celebrity or two occasionally. In fact, since the first appearance of Mr. Han, there have been three somewhat famous mainland celebrities who have hosted live streams, all for charity without any appearance fees, and every time a celebrity appeared, gifts would flood in.

But if he were to dedicate a room exclusively for celebrities to host every single episode, Suming didn’t seem to have the clout for that just yet.
Pressure brings motivation, and competition leads to progress. The outcome of the ’Me and It’ program was yet to be determined as it hadn’t officially launched, but it had already pushed other live streaming hosts to put in more effort, and there was a noticeable increase in their rooms’ traffic and performance. This was an auxiliary effect brought about by the ’Me and It’ program.
The zoo employees were also somewhat puzzled these few days.
Last time, Mr. Su specifically held a meeting about the importance of the Spirit of Civility movement.
Logically, what would follow was a vigorous campaign throughout the zoo, dedicating a substantial amount of time and energy to the superficial aspects of ’Spirit of Civility.’ Most people, in fact, were not too keen on wasting time this way.
But as Suming had stated in the previous meeting, it was necessary, and since there was no way to resist, they might as well enjoy it. The zoo staff braced themselves, ready for work assignments.
Yet, strangely enough, the anticipated bustle never occurred in the park.
Mrs. Tong made a visit to the director’s office for some inquiries, and upon her return, she casually told everyone, "The director said to carry on as usual."
"Does that mean we’re not doing the Spirit of Civility movement anymore?" Someone asked, sensing something from Mrs. Tong’s words.
"We’d better not, I’d rather spend that time selling more feed." Nurse Hu, hands on hips, said nonchalantly, "I make a few hundred bucks a day from it, you know..."
"Exactly, our boat rides are fully booked every day too," Mr. Peng added with a chuckle.
"You guys..." Mrs. Tong lectured as if she was in command, "Mr. Su said we must change our mindset, don’t always think that Spirit of Civility is just for show. If done well, it can be very impactful!"
"Mrs. Tong, I’ve noticed you have a catchphrase now, always saying ’Mr. Su said...’ like you’re quoting the chairman’s sayings," a familiar old employee joked with Mrs. Tong.
"Of course, if you had Mr. Su’s capabilities, I’d be quoting you instead," Mrs. Tong retorted as if saying a tongue twister.
As various movements were stirring, Shen Yan’s data analysis team shifted their focus to the upcoming ’Me and It’ program.
Suming intended to make this show a regular feature, something that could run weekly or even more frequently. If it achieved the anticipated effects, it could not only spread positivity and raise awareness for animal protection but could also greatly strengthen the connection between the zoo and its audience and visitors.
One Saturday afternoon, at the peak of viewer traffic, the ’Me and It’ room finally went live.
