Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 6


After she determined to leave it a surprise for Ms. Wang Shuzhen, Zhen Tian played on her phone. Chen Zui didn’t send her any more messages. She opened a web page and searched for This Morning's Headline.

Every day, This Morning's Headline is hosted live by four anchors from six to nine. Zhen Tian didn’t pay attention to what Chen Zui was actually saying. She only felt that following his namesake, his speech and tone is very intoxicating.

She could listen to Chen Zui speak all day long.

“Are you actually watching the morning news? Didn’t you say that morning news does not exist in your life?” When Ms. Wang Shuzhen walked over, she inadvertently heard Chen Zui’s voice. She thought she had misheard but when she walked over and took a glance at Zhen Tian’s phone screen, it really was Chen Zui’er.

Zhen Tian quickly turned off the video and tried to hide it as if she was suddenly caught doing something bad. “This is a rebroadcast, it doesn’t count.”

"Oh." Ms. Wang Shuzhen looked at her with a faint smile and remembered the interview she mentions, "By the way, you saidThis Morning's Headline wants to interview you. How is it going?"

“We already did the interview. You will know when the time comes.” Zhen Tian was determined not to reveal a thing. In order to avoid any more questions, she went on WeChat and pretended she was busy.

Zhen Tian has two WeChat accounts. One is the main account that she normally uses. It is filled with her relatives, friends, and classmates. She gave this one to Chen Zui.

The other is a side account that she used anonymously.

Her side account is called Godzilla. The people on it are beer lovers from all over the country. Most of them she knew from beer groups. Some only like to drink beer, some make their own, and those who are better, own a small brewery.

Zhen Tian will go online every day to chat with them, exchange experiences with them, learn about industry trends, and get the latest information.

Godzilla has a lofty status among beer enthusiasts.

Zhen Tian had not told them her identity in real life but she will share her beermaking recipes from time to time. Sometimes, she would make new beers and send them to some of her best friends. People who have drunk her beer are full of praise for her beer, and those who made beer according to her recipe are also full of praise for her recipe. Over time, she naturally became a big brother in the group.

It's just that few people believe that she is a woman even though she clearly chose female on her WeChat account settings.

The group is basically filled with men. Sometimes everyone will talk about beer and sometimes they will talk about their manly aspects. Zhen Tian would actively engage with them and even gained a lot of knowledge from them. So, no one believes that she is a woman.
Mechanical Dog: I just finished tasting Godzilla’s latest beer. I feel my life is complete [serene.jpg]

What Type of Hops is Yours: ?? How come I didn’t get any?? @Godzilla

Mechanical Dog: It’s because you are not in our group [evil laugh]

Porter Stout: You guys created a group chat behind my back? [smile]

Godzilla: @PlinytheElder, it’s Father Pliny’s group [evil laugh]

Porter Stout: @PlinytheElder, come out and give red envelopes [smile]

Zhou Keye smiled and sent big red envelopes when he saw he had been tagged.
Zhen Tian quickly grabbed one and saw that she received around 40 yuan. She was so excited that she quickly thanked him in the group, “Thank you, Father Pliny! [Dad.jpg]

The group was quickly swept with emoticons of “dad.” Zhou Keye behaved very calmly. Everyone called him Father Pliny because he often hands out red envelopes in the group. Everyone knows he opened his own brewery and the business is going well. Not to mention, he is also a big figure in the group.

After all the red envelopes were taken, Zhou Keye clicked on Zhen Tian’s profile and sent her a private message.

Pliny the Elder: I received your beer today. The color is very beautiful.

Godzilla: Right, this is after I improved it. The color from the first batch is not so beautiful [proud]

Pliny the Elder: Would you consider coming over to my brewery? The pay is very high [cute]
Godzilla: An expert like me will not come out easily [Push glasses.jpg]

Zhou Keye laughed and was seen by Liu Yun who was sitting across from him on the desk. Liu Yun took out her phone and looked at the messages in the group. She asked, "Are you talking to Godzilla in private?"

"Yeah, I like the beer she makes, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with her. She is also a rare female beer brewer."

Liu Yun had always known Zhou Keye wanted Godzilla to come over to their company. She also admits Godzilla’s beer is very distinct. However, she found him to be very shameless for pretending to be a woman and deceiving straight men. The most astounding thing is that Zhou Keye, a straight man, actually believes he is a woman.

Can women actually watch films with these men??

“Sober up. That Godzilla is definitely not a woman.” Liu Yun is tired of repeating these words.

“She sent a voice message last time. It is a girl’s voice.”

Liu Yun rolled her eyes, “Voices can be altered. He could’ve also asked his female friend to impersonate it for him. It could’ve been his girlfriend.”

Zhou Keye didn't speak anymore. He had discussed this issue with Liu Yun many times and didn't want to waste time arguing, "If you have nothing else, you can leave."

Liu Yun pursed her lips. She stood up and left Zhou Keye’s office.
At ABA TV Station, Chen Zui and Deng Liyang are having lunch together.

“You don’t have work tomorrow. It’s rare that you are free tonight. Do you have any plans?” Deng Liyang asked, “Why don’t we go out for a drink tonight?”

Chen Zui immediately thought about Zhen Tian’s bar and considered for a moment, “Okay.”

Deng Liyang looked at him in surprise. Although he invited him, he didn’t expect Chen Zui to accept. He often asked Chen Zui to go out for a drink but he has a little guy at home. In the rare moments when he has days off, he would usually spend it at home with his nephew.

“You're not going to go home and accompany your nephew?”

“He has his homework to accompany him.”

Why didn't you say that before? Deng Liyang complained silently in his heart. "Where do you want to drink?"

“Tipsy Cat.”

“Tipsy Cat?” Deng Liyang found the name to sound familiar, “Is it the one you went to for the interview yesterday?”

"Yes." Chen Zui nodded, "It was not bad when I saw it yesterday."

"Okay, then go to this one. This bar seems to be quite popular in Qingnan Lane."

They finalized the bar they are going to.

Chen Zui sent a message to Chen Yiran to eat dinner by himself. He also sent him 100 yuan. After Chen Yiran saw this message after school, he more and more felt like his uncle is up to something.

At this moment, Chen Zui and Deng Liyang have reached Qingnan Lane, and Zhen Tian's beer house has just opened.

There are very few customers inside and the two of them walked directly towards the bar. Zhen Tian is standing behind the bar talking to another bartender in a low voice. Chen Zui met the bartender’s gaze who tugged on Zhen Tian, “Boss, the super handsome reporter from yesterday is here again!"

Zhen Tian froze and followed his gaze. It really is Chen Zui who is walking towards them.

He is still wearing a suit but it looked more casual than yesterday. Zhen Tian silently stared at him and suddenly came back to her senses, “Senior brother, why are you here again?”

Chen Zui sat down by the bar and smiled, “What, am I not welcome?”

"No, no!" Zhen Tian pursed her lip, "I mean, I was surprised to see you!"

Deng Liyang finally realized, “I was wondering why you suddenly chose to come here. It turns out you know each other.”

“Let me introduce you. This is my junior from high school, Zhen Tian. She is also the owner of this bar.”

Deng Liyang looked at Zhen Tian and smiled enthusiastically, "Nice to meet you, I am Chen Zui’s colleague. Just call me Brother Deng!"

He wanted to shake hands with Zhen Tian but Chen Zui slapped his hand away and said, “You can just call him Deng Liyang.”

Zhen Tian thought since it is the senior brother's friend, then he is also her friend. Of course, she must treat him well. She looked at Deng Liyang with a smile, "Brother Deng Liyang, hello!"

"Hello, hello." Deng Liyang also smiled, "Junior sister is really pretty.."

Chen Zui turned his head to him, “You’re not afraid of Li Miao anymore?”
“....” The corner of Deng Liyang’s lips twitched, and his smile gradually disappeared, “Do you have to bring up Miaomiao at this time?”

Chen Zui slightly raised his eyebrows without saying anything. Zhen Tian heard “Miaomiao” from eavesdropping and asked, “Sister Miaomiao is Brother Deng’s girlfriend?”

“En. She is also very jealous so you have to keep a distance from Brother Deng.” Chen Zui replied.

Zhen Tian nodded seriously, and moved closer to Chen Zui’s side, a little farther away from Deng Liyang.
Deng Liyang, “....”

Why didn’t he notice how hateful Chen Zui is before?

Although Zhen Tian distanced herself a little from him, she is still curious about the colleague Chen Zui brought along, “Does Brother Deng also preside over the morning news?”

“No, I host the afternoon news.” Deng Liyang also added, “My program has a higher rating than Chen Zui’s.”

Zhen Tinan was a little unhappy hearing this, “That’s because the morning news is too early! A lot of people aren’t awake at that time, including me!”

Deng Liyang blinked at her, “Junior sister is very protective of her senior brother.”

Zhen Tian felt embarrassed. Afraid that Chen Zui would notice, she quickly changed the subject, “What do you want to drink? It’s my treat.”

Chen Zui thought for a while and said, "How about the beer you brew."

Deng Liyang exclaimed, “Junior sister can also make beer?”

“Haha, a little. Let me get your drinks for you. You can look at the menu and order anything you want.” After handing them the menu, Zhen Tian picked up two beer glasses and turned to pour their drinks. Deng Liyang didn’t pay attention to the menu and looked at the way Zhen Tian was pouring the beer. He said to Chen Zui, “Your junior sister looks very professional.”

When pouring beer, the angle at which the glass is held is important in affecting the quality of the foam. During the entire process, the valve should not touch the glass.

Chen Zui looked at the menu in his hand and indifferently said, “She’s my junior sister, not yours. Stop calling her that.”

Deng Liyang, “....”

Does he only notice this?
