Super Zoo-Chapter 412 - 407: The Strange Uncle
```
Whether it’s a girl or a woman, once they become unreasonable, there’s just no way to deal with them.
Because behind every unreasonable woman, there’s a man willing to let them be unreasonable and take it on the chin.
"Alright, alright, no crying, no crying, look at you, clamoring for me to bring you to see the live broadcast, and now you can’t handle it, no backbone at all, you’re about to leak snot."
"You’re the one with the snot!" Nangong broke into a smile through her tears, sucked back the snot that was about to drip, and looked up seriously at Suming, "You really are inhumane, not moved at all! And you’re still laughing!"
"Give me a break, I’ve heard this story more than once!" Suming rolled his eyes.
With a leg up and a bit of a guide, although the young host was ambitious, her experience was inevitably lacking, and the entire program planning was wholly guided by Suming.
"Which episode is that?" Nangong asked with curiosity.
The next episode had already been set, telling the story of a Chinese girl who traveled abroad, where a foreign friend gifted her a Marshall pet ferret, and she took this pet ferret to participate in the local ’Animal Olympics’.
Not every episode can bring tears, the next episode’s pet competition would take a more relaxed and comedic approach. The pet ferret bravely conquered five levels and six generals, battled it out with a koala, and flirted with a platypus!
"Then I can’t watch either, you’re so cunning, who knows, all of a sudden, out pops a tear-jerker story." Nangong pouted, "It’s okay if I start crying from the beginning, but if I’m laughing and then suddenly hit a tear-jerker moment, or the plot takes a dramatic turn and becomes a tragedy, how am I supposed to accept that!"
I swear to Chairman Mao, even though the detailed planning for the next episode wasn’t done yet, it really won’t be a tear-jerker, and in the meantime, Suming was planning to have the host introduce some foreign customs, turning it into a laid-back travel-themed episode.
"It’s better if you don’t come, or readers will say I’m just padding the word count," Suming said.
Nangong: "..."
Miss Li and her father cried their eyes out for a while, finally stopping their tears amidst the flowers and gifts in the live broadcast room, and the applause from the spectators.
Mr. Li and the host shook hands firmly, and the host quickly said, "Mr. Li, you thanked the wrong person, the entire planning, including helping you and your mother resolve your issues, was outlined by our Mr. Su, even inviting you here was Mr. Su’s idea, if you want to thank someone, thank Mr. Su!"
"I must thank you as well!" Mr. Li bowed slightly to the host first.
Then, taking his daughter with him, they both bowed deeply to Suming.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Suming quickly stepped aside, there was no glory to be claimed here – on a conscience level, helping them reconcile was a good deed, and Suming himself felt quite warm inside; practically speaking, this live broadcast also aided the healthy development of the platform.
"If you want to show gratitude, thank Mr. Song. Mr. Song took the red fox into the zoo and has taken great care of it over the years," Suming turned to glance at the red fox Ms. lady sitting on his shoulder, and he meant that – Mr. Song, worried Miss Li would be sad, had specially provided the red fox with a ’single room’ where she had lived on her own in a ’big room’ until now.

To put it in perspective, just one wall apart in the neighboring cage of the same size, were living the Wolf King and his family, including a few lackeys – a total of seven wolves. In terms of living space per capita, Miss Red Fox was undoubtedly the tycoon of the animal kingdom.
"Of course, I will thank Mr. Song, but I must also thank you!" Mr. Li took out a card and presented it with both hands: "I’m a businessman, I have no other way to express my gratitude. Here’s a hundred thousand yuan, on behalf of my daughter, donate it to the zoo."

Suming loved money, but this was money he absolutely couldn’t accept! It seemed that no programs in the country had guests who not only didn’t get a fee for appearing but also had to pay.
Mr. Li was quite stubborn, insisting on giving, while Suming adamantly refused; the two of them went back and forth for quite some time, with Suming finally having no choice but to say, "Look Mr. Li..."
"Don’t, don’t, don’t. If you respect me, just call me brother," Mr. Li said.
"Alright, Mr. Li," Suming nodded with a smile, "As per tradition, guests who join our live broadcasts are given a VIP card, and since you don’t seem to need one for free admission, take this one instead."
```
"What is this...?" Mr. Li received a silver card and asked curiously.
"This card is an animal rental service card, which can be used once a month. If you miss the red fox, you can call the zoo, and they will arrange for someone to bring the red fox to your house for a day of play. Of course, the cost of labor and fox rental will be on you, but it’s not expensive." Suming turned and nodded with a smile at Miss Li, "This way, you can see it often without the barrier of a big cage."
"Oh, oh, oh, that’s good, that’s great!" Mr. Li was, of course, overjoyed. His daughter was somewhat solitary, with few friends, and having an animal come over occasionally would not only help cultivate kindness but also prevent his daughter from being too lonely.
"You should thank Uncle Su." Mr. Li turned to Miss Li.
Miss Li smiled sweetly, showing two playful little tiger teeth, "Thank you, Uncle Su."
Uncle Su...
Uncle...
Uncle...
Suming’s smile instantly stiffened on his face, and his heart was hit with ten thousand points of critical damage.
This fucking sucks. What happened to the young fresh meat, to being forever eighteen? How did I end up becoming a weird old guy?!
No way, I wanted to be a brother, an oppa, not some weird uncle or old man!
...
’Me and It’ finished two episodes, and the internet was full of praise.
The first to speak out was still the Yangchuan City forum.
This forum had absolutely nothing to do with Suming but took it upon itself to act as the selection committee for the host auditions, posting the ’Taoyuan Interest’ Weibo link for host applications. Then, from Weibo, they gathered all the applicants into a big list for netizens to vote on who should be in the next episode.
The forum admins even reached out to Suming, hoping that the live streaming platform could authorize them to hold the auditions.
That wouldn’t do; the live streaming platform belonged to Yangchuan City, but it also belonged to the whole province, to the entire country, to the whole world, and even the universe; it couldn’t all be decided by the citizens of Yangchuan City.
"Let’s do this, although we can’t give authorization, we will take into account the opinions of the forum netizens." The Yangchuan City forum, which Suming once saw as a ’mighty weapon of public opinion’, seemed less significant in his eyes now. Of course, it was better with the icing on the cake provided by the Yangchuan City forum.
Additionally, some well-known media from Yangchuan City and the province started to chime in.
Yangchuan Daily headline: ’The Nation’s Warmest Live Broadcast! The Humanitarian Pioneer of Yangchuan City!’
Provincial Weekly: "Internet+ Live Broadcasting, Our Province’s Cultural and Ethical Progress Achieves Great Success..." Talk about thick-skinned.
"The Untold Story Between Me and the Live Streaming Platform. An Exclusive Interview with the Live Stream Host Little Tiger."
"The Perpetually Eighteen-Year-Old Weird Uncle..." This was a title leaked by some tabloid.
Eighteen was a beautiful age, at least when Suming was eighteen, he didn’t have to consider how to deal with his future father-in-law’s real brother. This fucking relationship was too complicated.
He was now carrying big and small bags full of gifts, attending the ’Gratitude Banquet’ with Nangong Yan, hosted by Nangong Huang’s father.
