Chapter 201 Reversal of Public Opinion
Seeing Hou Shan's dumbfounded expression, Chen Jingtai shook his head with great regret.

However, to protect the reputation of the zoo and the public, he also had his own stance that he had to uphold.

“Mr. Hou, you requested to have the animal examined, and we have given you that opportunity.”

"Now that the animals have been tested and the results are in, shouldn't you apologize to us for the problems you caused before?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at his assistant beside him.

The assistant had been holding back his anger for a long time, but he never expected to be given a huge surprise as soon as he walked through the door.

At this moment, he had already obtained from Wang Qing the various comments and attitudes from different platforms regarding the Zhoushan Zoo incident.

We're just waiting to settle the score with this arrogant streamer.

Upon hearing the principal call his name, he immediately took out his phone and opened the file he had just received.

"Mr. Hou, due to the video you posted last night, the ratings of Zhoushan Zoo on various platforms have dropped significantly."

"Many people have even expressed doubts about the safety of Zhoushan Zoo and conspiracy theories such as Zhoushan Zoo colluding with celebrities to create hype, which has seriously damaged the reputation of our zoo."

Hearing such a formal statement and rebuttal, Hou Shan finally snapped out of his shock.

However, he clearly verified the message he received with the company yesterday.

Zhoushan Zoo has removed many animals from other zoos, and some other zoos have even canceled their opening plans today.

How could it be fake?

His eyes trembled, and his mind was in complete chaos.

Suddenly, a loud cracking sound came from the iron cage covered by a black cloth next to them.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to that direction.

The zookeeper standing to the side touched his nose somewhat guiltily, his gaze subtly observing Hou Shan's reaction.

"Excuse me! I accidentally bumped into the cage."

Hou Shan glanced at the corner of the room, a strange feeling flickering in his heart.

There was already a cage in the room.

Why is there another one in the corner?

No, that's not right!

That commotion just now could not possibly be made by an ordinary person.

unless……

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he quickly took a few steps forward, rushing towards the cage in the corner.

"you……"

The two zookeepers standing nearby quickly raised their hands to stop him, but Hou Shan was determined to see what was inside.

Two people stood behind and tried to pull him back, but they couldn't stop the furious Hou Shan.

With a "whoosh," the huge black cloth was ripped off, revealing an orange Siberian tiger leisurely held in its cage.

The tiger was chewing on the raw meat in the corner when the man suddenly appeared in front of him. He stared at the tiger warily for a while, then opened his mouth wide and roared.

"Ouch!"

Hou Shan was so startled by the blood-smelling tiger that he instinctively took a step back.

He opened his mouth, but still couldn't react.

How did things turn out this way when we were so sure of winning?
The assistant looked at his dejected appearance and gave a disdainful snort.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Hou Shan's eyes reddened, filled with resentment.

He pointed to the white dye left on the tiger's leg, his voice tinged with contempt and mockery.

"What about here? These dyes couldn't have just ended up on the tiger for no reason, could they?"

"Do you dare say you've never had the intention to deceive the audience?"

"that……"

Just as the two were facing off, a slightly awkward voice interrupted them.

"The big cat's leg is actually my fault." Seeing the two people who had been facing off looking over at him, the zookeeper smiled sheepishly.

“That day I went to feed the big cat and accidentally put the paint bucket next to me. In the blink of an eye, he stuck his paw in it.”

As he spoke, he chuckled sheepishly, "Fortunately, the dyes in our garden are all harmless to animals, and they'll be off the market in a while."

Hou Shan was immediately rendered speechless.

After a long silence, with a cold face, he quickly turned and left the tiger enclosure.

"Even if this tiger is real, what does that prove?"

"Your Zhoushan Zoo borrowed more than just these animals yesterday! I believe Director Chen wouldn't mind letting me visit them, would he?"

After realizing that the white tiger in front of him was real, Chen Jingtai immediately reverted to his previous calm and collected demeanor.

They didn't even get involved in the previous disputes.

When he was suddenly called out by name at this moment, he simply smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Hou has bought a ticket to the zoo, so he is naturally a guest of the zoo. Please make yourself at home!"

After saying that, he turned and walked out of Huyuan.

Hou Shan watched the man's departing figure, gritted her teeth fiercely, and angrily turned around to continue walking towards other areas of the park.

So many animals escaped from Zhoushan Zoo that day.

He simply didn't believe that Chen Jingtai, being so powerful, could find perfect substitutes for all animals.

Watching Hou Shan leave in anger, the assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the various public relations arrangements Wang Qing had sent him on his phone.

That damn thing is finally solved.

Hou Shan seemed to have gone mad, wandering through each park one by one, carefully observing the animals, trying to find something amiss.

But it seems like fate is deliberately working against him; all the animals in the park are displayed in duplicate, so you can see them clearly.

Those who were initially so certain in the live stream that the animals had escaped from Zhoushan Zoo have now lost their previous composure.

[There are no fake animals here! This is clearly a perk from Director Chen!]

Director Chen put in a lot of effort to gather so many identical animals together.

[Where did this streamer come from? He's just spouting nonsense without any evidence. If I hadn't believed him, I definitely would have gone to the Zhoushan Zoo today.]

[That's right, every single animal now has an extra identical one! This was all thanks to Director Chen's painstaking efforts; he practically scoured the entire city for them. If I hadn't believed the anchor's nonsense, how could I have missed such a spectacular sight?]

That's all for now. I'm going to Zhoushan Zoo to buy tickets.

I envy you locals...

Watching the comments in the live stream subtly shift direction under their guidance, Wang Qing finally collapsed wearily into his seat.

This matter is finally resolved.

If there's a next time... Lin Xiao will definitely have to give her more money.

Meanwhile, Hou Shan searched the entire zoo but found no trace of any wild animals escaping.

Even the walls and barbed wire of the zoo area showed no signs of repair.

But... how could that be?
How could there not be a single trace?
Just as his mind was in a complete mess, Hou Shan received a call about the influencer economy.

"Didn't you say that riding the wave of popularity like this was foolproof? Look at the situation now, what are we going to do?"

"The viewers in the live stream have all come to the company. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

Hou Shan opened his mouth, wanting to explain further.

But the person on the other end of the phone didn't give him a chance to continue speaking.

"You'd better shut down the broadcast right now and get back here. If this involves the company, you'll be going to court."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without any politeness.

Hou Shan pressed the button on her phone, her trembling eyes filled with confusion.

The agent clearly agreed to this beforehand.

But now... how did it suddenly become his fault alone?
