In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

Chapter 297: From Raising a Pet Elephant to Raising a Small Elephant

When Tang Jingyun asked her before, she refused because she didn't want to raise a "left-behind child", but when her father directly helped her realize her wish, Fu Ziyan couldn't help but feel happy.

Fu Qiyuan lowered his eyes and smiled at his daughter. When the child was happy, she would act coquettishly and was so sweet that it was sickening.

He chuckled and teased Titi: "Is this the best thing in the world? I'm not the big devil watching you while you study and work?"

Fu Ziyan pursed her lips. Dad is such a vengeful person.

The big devil or something like that...how can you mention it at such a happy moment!

But who is she? She was raised by her father. How could she let herself be at a disadvantage in words?

The next moment, Fu Ziyan responded confidently, "That's right. During those seven days in England, my father kept watching me. I didn't even have any free time to play. I was like a big devil, wasn't I?"

Fu Qiyuan smiled gently: "Titi has a point. Then you better behave yourself. The big devil can come at any time, and the next time may not only last seven days."

Fu Ziyan: ...

Dad, you are worthy of being a dad.

Given the relationship between Fu Qiyuan and Chen Kunnian, it is natural for him to visit him when he comes to Myanmar.

The Chen family's manor in Myanmar is of Chinese style construction, adopting a quadrangle layout with interior patios and corridors, while the exterior walls are reinforced into a bunker-like structure to cope with local security risks.

Chen Kunnian, accompanied by his family, stood in front of the courtyard with a smile on his face: "Yunzhi, it's been another year since we last met. How have you been lately?"

Fu Qiyuan smiled gracefully, "Everything is fine, thank you for your concern, Brother Chen."

Chen Kunnian also didn't forget to greet Fu Ziyan: "Where's Ti Ti? I heard that she brought her friends to the jade mine a few months ago. Why didn't she come to visit uncle?"

The friend he was talking about was Weilda. At the beginning of the year, Fu Ziyan took Weilda to visit several mines that he had taken over after he became an adult.

Fu Ziyan smiled and said, "Last time, I was short on time and didn't have time to visit you. I will definitely come next time."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Uncle Chen's family behind him and greeted them with a smile.

"Aunt, sister-in-law..."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Chen Kunnian led them inside.

The layout of the hall is still based on the traditional central axis. The couplets, plaques, hanging screens, calligraphy and painting screens hanging inside are all symmetrical on both sides of the central axis. A complete set of top-grade mahogany furniture is also placed symmetrically.

Fu Qiyuan's trip to Myanmar was actually to represent the Fu family and Chen Kunnian to jointly invest in the establishment of a company. In addition to reminiscing about the past, the two naturally had a lot of things to discuss in detail.

As Fu Ziyan grew up, Fu Qiyuan would often bring his daughter along to observe and learn from her business, and this time was no exception. However, since the reminiscences and preliminary discussions didn't touch on any key learning content, Fu Qiyuan had no intention of restraining his daughter.

Chen Kunnian and Fu Qiyuan reunited after a long time to reminisce about the past, but they would not ignore their good brother's daughter, who was in his arms.

After chatting for a while in the hall, Chen Kunnian told Chen Yushang to take Fu Ziyan for a stroll: "Uncle has prepared some baby elephants in advance. Ti Ti, go with your brother Yushang to pick some out. If there's nothing you like, I'll ask someone to find some."

Fu Ziyan responded with a smile: "Thank you, uncle. I'm sorry for your trouble." To others, she has always been a well-behaved and sensible child, and she is only a little spoiled in front of her grandpa and father.

"It's just a small matter, nothing to worry about." Chen Kunnian said cheerfully, then looked at his eldest son and gave him a few instructions, "Yu Shang, take good care of your sister."

Fu Ziyan had been looking forward to her little elephant cub for a long time, and Uncle Chen was a familiar elder, so she didn't hide it. She waved to her father to indicate that she was leaving, and followed Chen Yushang out of the hall with a smile on her face.

Although it is a Chinese courtyard house, it is located in Myanmar after all. In addition to planting plants with Chinese characteristics such as plum and bamboo, the garden also integrates Southeast Asian tropical building materials - teak and palm leaves, forming a unique Sino-Burmese mixed style.

Fu Ziyan had come here with her father a few years ago, so she didn't feel unfamiliar with the place psychologically.

The one who accompanied her shopping was Chen Yushang again.

As she grew up, her activities in Hong Kong's business community increased, and her communication with Chen Yushang also increased. In addition, their small circle of heirs would get together every once in a while, so Fu Ziyan could be said to be very familiar with him.

Therefore, even in someone else's manor, Fu Ziyan was not restrained at all and started chatting casually: "When did Brother Yu Shang come back? I thought you were still in Hong Kong."

It had only been a few days since their gathering that day.

"I just got back the day before yesterday. I just finished taking care of business here. I was planning to take a two-day break when your Uncle Chen informed me that you guys were coming," Chen Yushang laughed heartily. "But playing with you can also be considered a break."

Fu Ziyan said "Oh" and without further ado, went straight to the point that concerned her most: "Does Brother Yu Shang know much about the baby elephant?"

She's going to have her own elephant cub soon, so she needs to do some research in advance!

Chen Yushang smiled relaxedly when he heard this.

He has lived in Myanmar for so many years and is not as knowledgeable as a professional, but his knowledge of science is still good enough to match Fu Ziyan's. Moreover, knowing that he would be receiving Sister Fu, he specially arranged for an elephant-raising expert to come.

As they walked, Chen Yushang shared with Fu Ziyan the elephants' diet, habitat, and habits. "Babies need to rely on breast milk for at least two years after birth. The elephants your father has chosen for you are all over two years old. The breeding area must simulate a natural habitat..."

Fu Ziyan listened carefully. Even though she knew she could never take care of the baby elephant herself, she still felt that she had to at least understand the various precautions in raising a baby elephant.

Chen Yushang briefly explained the situation before smiling and saying, "Yanyan, just listen. Although your baby elephant hasn't been chosen yet, its care team is already in place, including elephant doctors, keepers, and elephant trainers, all of whom are experienced."

Elephant trainer?

Fu Ziyan frowned slightly: "Thank you, Brother Yushang, but I don't want an elephant trainer."

The training process inevitably involves harming the elephants. Even though she hasn't chosen a baby elephant yet, Fu Ziyan won't let her baby elephant suffer the pain of discipline when it grows up.

Chen Yushang wasn't surprised. Many local wealthy young men cherished the elephants they'd raised since childhood and didn't want them to be trained by elephant trainers. He nodded and smiled, "Okay, you'll take a look at the team members later. If there's anyone you're not satisfied with, I'll arrange for someone to find them."

As they were talking, they had already reached the zoo area on the left side of the manor.

Real zoo!

I don’t know what Uncle Chen is thinking, but he has elephants, peacocks, white lions, and various subtropical birds in his manor, and he has specially simulated a livable living environment for each animal.

Because her father asked him to do so, Uncle Chen even specially set up an area to pick and prepare the baby elephant for her.

When Fu Ziyan arrived, the baby elephants had just finished their meal and were wandering around playing.

Stepping on water, spraying water at each other with trunks, throwing stones, singing competition... Chen Kunnian only prepared five beautiful and healthy baby elephants, but they played like a kindergarten.

The two-year-old elephant was only as tall as her waist. The muscles of her round little body were faintly visible, her skin was slightly wrinkled, and sparse hair grew around her ears, swaying in the wind.

The newly sprouted tusks made them unable to resist rubbing against the tree trunks to scratch their itch. One naughty little fellow had an idea and poked his friend's butt, causing a chase.

After catching up with his friends, they started playing the forehead-butting game again. The little guys, who had not yet fully mastered their own strength, both fell over with their four legs facing the air. After a moment of daze, they whimpered innocently.

In another corner, a sleepy baby elephant was lying obediently beside a tree. Its clear and innocent big eyes slowly opened and closed under its thick eyelids. Soon, it used its long trunk to wrap around its ears as a "homemade eye mask" and fell asleep peacefully, not affected by the noise of its friends playing around.

Fu Ziyan, who was standing outside the fence watching, was so cute that her face was bleeding.

This is too cute!

Chen Yushang looked at Fu Ziyan's eyes full of fondness and said with a smile, "These are prepared for you. If you like them, you can take them all away."

Fu Ziyan, who originally just wanted to raise a baby elephant, quickly changed her mind.

How can we let a baby elephant be alone? It must have elephants of the same age to play with and grow up with!

Not only that.

"Brother Yushang, are the mothers of these baby elephants still around? I want to take their mothers with me." It's so pitiful for them to be separated from their mothers at such a young age. She had read in a book that even if a baby elephant is no longer breastfed, its life and growth still depend on its mother.

How could the cubs she raised endure such grievances?

Chen Yushang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "If you want, of course there is no problem."

He had imagined that Sister Fu would take all five baby elephants away, but he didn't expect that she would also take the mother elephant along, and it went straight from raising a single pet elephant to raising a small herd!

As for the money spent, government approval for raising elephants, etc., these are not problems for them.

"But they have to stay here for a few days first," Fu Ziyan frowned slightly. "Although my father had everyone prepare an area for baby elephants at my manor, it was designed for one baby elephant. It's still too small for the ten elephants we have now."

Chen Yushang smiled and said, "I've arranged for some experienced people to help with the expansion. They'll be able to get your elephant family in as soon as possible."

"That's great, thank you, Brother Yu Shang."

Chen Yushang smiled. As a local tyrant, arranging the people was just a casual order. He was even more curious: what would Uncle Fu's reaction be if he knew his family was about to raise a herd of baby elephants?

Fu Qiyuan was even calmer than Chen Yushang had imagined.

After listening to Ti Ti announce the news, he just raised his eyebrows slightly and calmly said that he understood.

It's just raising a pet, and having to bring a playmate and his family along is nothing. Chen Yushang is still young, and he doesn't know how many "wild imaginations" and "inspirations" a child must experience when raising him up.

Chen Kunnian glanced at Yunzhi with a smile on his lips, feeling that the identity of "father" could indeed transform a person.

When they were studying in the UK, apart from horse racing for socializing, Yunzhi had never been close to any animals, let alone raising them. Now, he can keep ten elephants at home without any change of heart.

Chen Kunnian also values ​​Fu Ziyan, his good brother's only child, and asked with a smile: "Titi, do you want to expand the animal area? Uncle will arrange for someone to help you build it as soon as possible."

They are indeed father and son~

Fu Ziyan accepted the elder's kindness with a smile: "Thank you, uncle. Brother Yu Shang just said that he would help me expand it as soon as possible."

Chen Kunnian smiled and nodded: "Titi, wherever you want to go, let your brother Yu Shang accompany you."

Fu Ziyan responded with a faint smile.

It wasn't that she really needed someone to accompany her, but Myanmar had been rather chaotic recently. Although having a bodyguard would be fine, it would be safer to have Chen Yushang accompany her to "scan her face" so as to avoid being offended or hurt by stupid people.

Although Myanmar is not a big country, it still has many historical sites and monuments compared to Hong Kong.

As a religious holy place, the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is covered with gold foil and inlaid with gems on the top. It is always dazzling day and night... Chen Yushang accompanied Fu Ziyan for a day of sightseeing, and Fu Ziyan declined to continue playing.

Myanmar has a strong Buddhist atmosphere, but she is not old enough to be immersed in it for the time being.

Chen Yushang is needed to accompany other places to maintain order, but when inspecting his own jade mine, he doesn't have to worry about this.

Although she was traveling, Fu Ziyan would not "pass by home without visiting" as she had business in Myanmar. She would always make time to inspect her jade mine.

Jade mines sound expensive, but the reality is that they are not as good as expected.

Under the scorching summer sun, the air was filled with sand and dust. Sitting on the bumpy mine car all the way, I listened to the roar. It was not the cool sound of a racing car that would make your adrenaline surge, but a gray and loud noise that was so loud that it made your ears ring.

Near the mine are sheds built by miners, and all you can see is a yellow haze.

Even though Fu Ziyan was inspecting her own assets, she wouldn't be in a good mood in such an environment.

As usual, I made a round of inspection and chatted with the nearby miners about some trivial matters of work and life.

"Have you encountered any difficulties in mining in the past few months?"

"Do you have any other suggestions for the basic living security of the mine workers?"

"..."

Mining has always been a hard job, but Fu Ziyan would not be so naive as to significantly increase wages out of sympathy and go against the mine owners in Myanmar and even Southeast Asia.

The prevailing environment was not something she could easily change, no matter how wealthy she was. Without absolute power, challenging the established "rules" of the industry would be like touching everyone's cake, putting her in a dilemma.

The mine owners would be hostile to her and cause her all kinds of trouble.

The miners she protects won't be entirely grateful to her, because she's the mine owner, and her status puts her in opposition to the miners. They'll test her, gradually pushing her further, negotiating wages, working hours, and other benefits.

This is not surprising, people always yearn for a better life.

But she would become a target for negotiations between the miners and the mine owners. Throughout history, it's been difficult for those who become targets to escape unscathed. Perhaps one day, Fu Ziyan will become the president of the Myanmar and Southeast Asian Mining Associations, and she'll be able to advocate for better treatment for the miners, but not now.

Therefore, Fu Ziyan will not increase their wages, nor will she change the work and leave regulations, but she can try her best to improve their living environment without causing too much trouble.
