One step closer to reality every day

Chapter 233 Like a Poisonous Snake

Steve has two big snakes, a fat mansion, and a tyrannosaurus, but at least they are not the crazy batch type, and with two big bosses sitting in charge, Wu Huan relaxes a lot.

Knowing that Feng Yi was the only guest of Steve, Wu Huan was not in a hurry to leave. He was also bored when he went back, and there were still people talking here.

Looking around, Wu Huan asked Steve:

"Hey, where's your assistant?"

Steve came to Yangcheng and recruited two new assistants. He has a lot of work here and needs more manpower to help.

And there are two more big snakes here, so helpers are needed even more.

It's not about worrying about some unexpected situations, such as "only one mobile phone left at the scene" and other horror situations.

Taking care of two snakes that big would be too much for Steve alone.

He has a lot of assistants, and other assistants have other tasks and are not in Yangcheng, so he recruited two new assistants to deal with Yangcheng's work affairs.

Most of the things like cleaning the small flower house and the pool are done by Steve himself, and he doesn't feel at ease to leave it to others.Of course he took care of himself.

The rest can be done by an assistant, and from time to time, he has to prepare food for the two big snakes, such as piglets and rabbits.

Another assistant handles the many chores of online affairs and life.

"The two of them went shopping, and the time seemed to be coming back soon," Steve said.

When Feng Yi entered the house, he had already smelled the smell of three other people, two of them should be the new assistants he said, and the remaining one was the helper who was invited to cook, and the smell left in the kitchen was more.

"Oh, back." Steve heard movement from the garage.

After a while, the two assistants had already entered the house through the main entrance, placed the purchased items, and came to the backyard.

The two assistants were about the same age as Feng Yi, both young.One is a little thinner, the other is stronger.

The thin one was a bit reserved, and after seeing Feng Yi and Wu Huan, he greeted them politely, and then quietly stayed aside and didn't speak much.

The other, stronger assistant was more enthusiastic and talked and laughed more casually.

Wu Huan glanced back and forth between the two assistants.

He had been here before, and he had never met Steve's two assistants. He rarely came to Steve's door directly when he had a drink appointment with Steve. When Steve was busy, the assistant surnamed Du to get in touch.

"Which one of you is Xiao Du?" Wu Huan asked.

Both he and Steve are in their 40s, and to those in their twenties, they are uncles. It is no problem to call the assistant named Du "Xiao Du".

The thinner young man raised his hand, his face flushed slightly, "Wu...Hello Brother Wu...I'm Xiao Du!"

His tone was a little awkward and stiff, stuttering.

Wu Huan looked at him quietly for a moment, and saw that Xiao Du's forehead began to sweat, and then said, "Is that the Xiao Du who usually contacts me online?"

"……it's me."

"You give me a different feeling from the Internet."

"Aha, I'm just... a little... socially phobic."

The smile on Assistant Du's face was forced.

Steve said: "Okay, don't embarrass him, Xiao Du still has a job."

After Assistant Du left, Steve continued, "He has some communication barriers in this area, but most of the work assigned to him is online, and he handles it very well."

Wu Huan said: "I'm not questioning his ability to work, I just think...the gap is too big! Chatting with him online, I thought he was a very lively young man, who could be sharp and aggressive, act coquettishly, and be thick when necessary." She's so shameless, she's especially good at chatting!"

Steve: "You have to know that some people are as fierce as tigers online, but social terror in real life."

Assistant Du is like this, you let him go out and face other people or people, wanting to communicate neatly, no!Absolutely not!
But if you give him a keyboard, he can chat for three days and three nights!
"It's not social terror, it should be a way of life he chooses." Steve said, "As long as the work assigned to him can be completed smoothly, it doesn't matter which way of life he chooses."

After hearing this, Wu Huan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I will contact him in the future, and I won't call if I can communicate with him."

"You can also send a voice message, and he will reply to the text."

"Tsk, I sent a series of voice messages before, but he still replied with text. I thought he was respected by the workplace, and then I mostly replied with text. I didn't expect this to be the reason."

Wu Huan doesn't pay much attention to acquaintances, he does whatever is convenient.

Seeing that Steve was still frowning and staring at himself, Wu Huan asked, "What's wrong?"

Steve: "Are you free?"

"I'm on vacation today. I wanted to ask you out for a drink, but you don't have time here. Are you going to discuss something that is inconvenient for others to know?" If this is the case, Wu Huan got up and planned to leave.

"Actually, it has something to do with you," Steve said.

Wu Huan raised his hips and fell back on the chair.

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

Steve took out his phone, flipped through the video, and handed it to Feng Yi: "Have you watched this variety show?"

Wu Huan stretched his neck to look.

"Oh, "TA&It" is about people and animals, or people and plants. It's not as popular as the hot ones, but it's okay. I'm one of the sponsors, and I'm their beneficiary father hehehe!"

Feng Yi looked at the introduction of this variety show on his mobile phone, a provincial satellite TV program, the first and last episodes were about idol stars and succulent plants, the last episode was about old artists and parrots, and the upcoming episode was about new internet celebrities and the country bully Great White Goose.

Wu Huan already knew what Steve meant, and looked at Feng Yi with burning eyes, "The next issue will be Steve and his cuties. I also want to come over to this house to shoot a few episodes, but unfortunately Steve refused."

Steve said: "Just moved to a strange place, Nini and Molong are not quite used to it yet, I don't want the show crew to come in and disturb them."

Wu Huan ignored Steve, and continued to look at Feng Yi, "Feng Yi, do you want to join? The invitation fee is at least this amount."

Wu Huan gestured with his fingers.

With Feng Yi's current popularity on the Internet, the invitation fee will not be lower than Steve's.

However, Feng Yi is not short of this money.

The time to participate in variety shows is not as good as taking venom.

Doesn't venom need nutritional support?
How does he supplement nutrition when facing the camera all day or for several days?

With this time, he might as well go home, get some venom, and then eat a good meal to supplement his nutrition.

Feng Yi handed the phone back to Steve, "What do you mean?"

Steve said: "I know, you said you don't want to enter the entertainment industry, and you're not interested in variety shows. But this time, I'm personally inviting you, so I can do you a favor."

Feng Yi didn't reply right away, waiting for Steve's next words.

Steve continued: "This program is mainly about daily work and life, and there is no requirement to do something in a certain place. I discussed with the other side, sending Nini and Molong to the city zoo in a few days, except for the two of them that day There are still a batch of big snakes to be transported, I will participate in the transport, and the program team will also follow the filming. However, there are too many snakes, and I am the only one who can't take care of them. If you are free, come and help.

"I don't worry about Nini. She is more homely and lazy. She generally doesn't care about people. As long as she has food and a suitable living environment, she can live well anywhere. But the magic dragon is different. She has a temper and a beautiful face. The value is outstanding, the zoo is going to be popular, and the marketing plan has been completed, I am worried that the scene will be chaotic during the shooting, please take care of it.”

Feng Yi asked: "Are you afraid that it will bite people in anger?"

"There's this concern, you know, some people are impulsive and take risks just to make a video," Steve said.

"You don't have to let the program team follow." Feng Yi said.

"Letting the program crew film it will also make the zoo a little worried. I plan to go to the breeding room to check it myself and let the camera follow the filming. In this case, the zoo will definitely try to make it perfect for better marketing effects. And It’s not about cutting corners and breaking down equipment every now and then.”

Apparently, there was something the zoo was doing that made Steve unhappy.

"I don't trust them. In their eyes, Nini and Molong are just commodities. I didn't agree to send them to the zoo at the beginning. It was the zoo's reassurance and the signing of an agreement with the research base. I can’t do anything if I don’t agree to this level, I haven’t got my breeding permit yet, and I can’t even apply for adoption from the base.” Steve said regretfully.

"Personal adoption is not allowed, what kind of permit did you apply for?" Feng Yi was curious.

"Start a reptile conservation agency."

"This review is very strict."

"Yes, but with my qualifications and achievements, I am already qualified. The application has been submitted a long time ago, but it is still under review. The Federal Insurance Agency has considered it more."

"People from the United Nations Security Bureau stuck with you?" Feng Yi was surprised.

Steve scratched his head worriedly, and explained, "You know how the black golden boy got here?"

Feng Yi nodded, "I've heard of it a little bit. It is produced by mixing genes artificially, and it is not produced naturally."

Steve: "By superimposing the 'Golden Boy' mutant gene, as well as 'Donut' and other genes to increase the concentration of melanin, finally the black golden boy's extremely black and colorful effect appeared. And the FBI More attention has been paid to naturally occurring wild populations rather than strains that have been artificially bred with mixed genes.

"I also don't agree with the wanton mixing of genes, especially the practice of fixing pathological characteristics through artificial means. The new strains formed are not very competitive in the wild, just for good looks.

"But she is not wrong. The magic dragon was seized by the Federal Insurance Bureau when it investigated the illegal breeding institution after the abnormal climate period. It has been kept at the research base. I visit her every year. She is doing well there. But I don’t feel relieved when I go to the zoo, I reached an agreement with the research center, and I will adopt her after my permit is obtained! She won’t like the atmosphere of the zoo!”

Feng Yi understood Steve's thoughts, "You applied to establish a private protection agency in Yangcheng?"

Steve: "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't directly buy such a big house here."

Feng Yi asked again: "Where is the address? Anyone interested?"

Steve: "I'm interested in a piece of land near Xiaofengshan, where a factory needs to be moved."

Feng Yi: "..."

Xiaofeng Mountain is really going to become a snake den!

"I want to build a private collection. The place has already been selected, and it is also near Xiaofeng Mountain." Feng Yi said.

Steve's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Snake Collection? The live one?!"

"Just a collection of models."

"Oh." Steve lost interest, but asked anyway, "What are you going to collect? How big?"

Feng Yi said: "1:1 model. In terms of types, I have caught and encountered them and made them into models for collection. The small ones include blind snakes, hognose snakes, and corona snakes, and the big ones include anacondas and Burmese snakes. Pythons, reticulated pythons, and things like that, and that hybrid boa constrictor in Florida. There's also a titania."

Wu Huan, who was holding the watermelon juice and listening vigorously, almost spit out a mouthful of the juice.

When he heard Feng Yi talk about the Model Collection Hall just now, he thought it was only about the same size as the physical store selling models on the street, but as soon as the "Titan Boa" came out, he knew that the place was not small!
How big is the titania?
Regardless of whether it is coiled or horizontal, the small space simply cannot accommodate it!
Wu Huan has seen various speculations about Feng Yi's situation on the Internet before, but based on the state of Feng Yi he saw with his own eyes today, he is convinced that those remarks that Feng Yi is "frustrated and only set up a person on the Internet" are big mistakes Very wrong!
When he mentioned the invitation price of the variety show earlier, Feng Yi's reaction was very flat, or he didn't respond at all, that was not an act.

Now Feng Yi is talking about building a collection hall, and the land has been bought. Does this seem like a frustrated person?
This kid may not be short of money!
In this way, if he wants to cooperate with Feng Yi, the way of using money to move people will not work.

Don't be afraid that Internet celebrities are short of money, just be afraid that he has more money than you!
Hey, hello, my spokesperson!

When will we be able to negotiate!
Wu Huan sighed helplessly.

But none of the other two present paid attention to his rich inner drama.

Steve continued to tell Feng Yi his plan.

Steve didn't start this kind of organization before, even if he applied for it, he didn't pass it, because he didn't have enough qualifications before, and he didn't have enough grades to get the approval of the Federal Insurance Bureau.Secondly, in the past, Steve traveled around every year, so he must not have paid much attention to the organization.

Now that Steve is getting older, his energy is not as high as when he was young, and he is not as busy as before. Since he intends to set up such an institution, the Federal Insurance Bureau will also consider it carefully.

"I'll work with them again. When the permit is issued, we can start building. I'm optimistic about the construction party. The design drawings are coming out. I personally participate in the design. Before long, they will have a new one. Safe home!"

As he spoke, Steve's expression gradually became dreamy.

Surrounded by snakes is a nightmare for others, but for Steve, it is a dream!
Feng Yi: "..."

Wu Huan: "..."

Feng Yi coughed lightly, reminding Steve to recover from his dream.

"Let's continue talking about the variety show. Steve, you mean, I don't need to officially participate in the show, just help take care of those big snakes while you are filming? Pay attention to their state in the new environment?"

"Yes! I'm worried about handing it over to other people! If you don't want to appear in the camera, I'll tell you there." What Steve valued was Feng Yi's ability, not his popularity on the Internet.

"It's okay to have one or two shots, not many." Feng Yi said.

It won't take long to help Steve and complete the mission of the FBI Publicity Office.

"Hey! That's great! You see, whichever day you are free, come according to your time. Just come and help me take care of it when the time comes. I'll help you talk about the remuneration..."

"You don't need to pay, I just went to do you a little favor." Feng Yi said.

It is not a formal participation in the program, and the invitation fee will not be too much. At that point, Qian Fengyi might as well refuse it directly. If he really accepts the invitation fee, the nature of his appearance will also change.

Feng Yi looked at the calendar and selected a time.

The Sea Snake Task Force does not work every day, and there will be a break every few days, and it is also possible to take a rest, and it is convenient to drive here.

It would take three or four days to repair the equipment in the park, and Feng Yi chose a time for his vacation on the date before the Qingming holiday.

After helping Steve finish this matter, he and the butler went to visit his aunt's grave.

A time was set, and Steve was delighted,
"Thanks! I owe you a favor!"

In order to thank Feng Yi for his help, Steve planned to go to the research center, get a specimen of a Burmese python nearly six meters there, and give it to Feng Yi's collection.

But the matter hasn't been done yet, so he won't tell Feng Yi yet.

When it was time for dinner, Steve invited Feng Yi and Wu Huan to eat at a nearby restaurant he liked very much.

When Feng Yi returned to the monitoring station, Steve and Wu Huan returned to the community.

Wu Huan asked Steve: "He is not the only one who can catch snakes. He is not interested in participating in variety shows and won't spend long time in front of the camera. Why don't you choose someone else?"

Steve looked up at the clean night sky, "Feng Yi is a very magical person, and his thoughts on snakes are also pure, although I still haven't understood what his thoughts are. Anyway, it can't be bad thoughts.

"And his snake-catching skills are not developed through long-term training or enough experience, but more like acting on a kind of talent and instinct, which is incomparable to other people, including me.

"He has a very keen perception of the state of the snake. I can judge whether the snake is happy or angry, aggressive or bluffing, based on their behavior, but Feng Yi is different. Even if he doesn't look at it, he can accurately judge it. Zoo There are a lot of new snakes introduced there, and it is impossible for me to check the status of all the snakes.

"Also, when he sees cute and beautiful creatures like Nini and the Demon Dragon, he won't look at them like money, and won't think about how to get more benefits from them."

Steve gave several reasons of his own.

Although Wu Huan disagrees with the description of anaconda as "cute", he agrees with the other sentences.

Feng Yi looked at the two big snakes with no disgust, no obsession or calculation, just a very bland kind of look, similar to looking at a glass of tasteless water at hand.

Even Wu Huan himself, after seeing the muscular anaconda and the colorful black golden boy, couldn't help taking pictures with his mobile phone, wishing to immediately post them on Moments or show off on social platforms.

But Feng Yi did not.

It seems that all the wonders in other people's eyes are nothing special to him.

It is precisely because of this that Steve regards Feng Yi as a "reliable partner".

If Feng Yi showed the slightest calculation when he saw the two big snakes, Steve would not look for him.

Steve paused, then continued: "Besides this, there are also my personal reasons. I don't know why, but I am very happy when I see Feng Yi. If I were to choose a partner, I would first choose It must be him!"

Wu Huan looked over with suspicion in his eyes: "You don't know...do you have any crooked thoughts?"

Steve wanted to piss him off, "Dirty eyes see everything dirty!"

Steve said seriously: "I saw him, just like I saw a snake! It's still a rare poisonous snake in the world, with that mysterious and precious quality..."

Wu Huan was speechless for a while, and then said: "If Feng Yi knows how you describe him, he will break up with you!"

Who would compare a friend to a poisonous snake!
No matter how thick the filter is, it can't change the fact——

Isn't "like a viper" a curse word? ! !
