He did not have to report the noon news today so he planned on visiting Deng Liyang at the hospital after the regular meeting. However, Tian Sen called him alone to his office after the meeting.
“Sit.” Tian Sen patted the chair in front of his desk as he walked around and sat down in his own seat. “I ask you to come today to talk about the new show.”
“New show?” Chen Zui thought for a while, “Is it the one that will succeed Teacher Zheng’s?”
ABA has a talk show hosted by the veteran ABA host Zheng Weiguo called The Zheng Weiguo Show which uses the name of the host. On one hand, it shows the recognition of the ability of the host but on the other hand, the show and host coexist. Once something happens to the show, it cannot go on.
Zheng Weiguo has been with ABA for thirty years and has created many top shows for the station. The Zheng Weiguo Show is one of them. The main reason he can’t continue with the show is because he is getting older and the amount of work he is taking is taking a toll on his body.
“You know the physical condition of Elder Zheng. He has high blood pressure and his heart is not good. He went to the hospital a while ago. Although he said he can persist, the station doesn’t want him to take the risk.” Tian Sen looked at him, “After he retires, we won’t change the host of the show. We can only create a new one. Regarding what kind of show it is and who will host it, the station leaders have also discussed it for a long time. The final decision is to do a talk show where you will be the host."
Chen Zui was not surprised. Since Tian Sen called him in to talk about this matter, it meant that he wanted him to host it. But there is one thing that he still wants to be clear, "Is the station’s decision because of the recent Weibo incident?"
Tian Sen knew what he meant and nodded, “That is a factor. The show is new and it is going to replace Elder Zheng’s so it needs someone well-known to support it. Of course, that is only one aspect. The station recognizes your abilities so we gave you this program.”
Tian Sen took out a document in the drawer and handed it to Chen Zui, “The new program will still be broadcast at 10 o’clock every Friday night for one hour. This is the script for the first recording. Take it back and look at it first.”
"Okay." Chen Zui nodded and accepted the plan.
“This is a rare opportunity. I hope you can make good use of it. Also, this show will not be like Elder Zheng’s. It will not carry your name so if you do not perform well, we can change the host anytime.”
“I understand. I will carefully prepare for it.”
“En, you go ahead.” Tian Sen is more at ease with Chen Zui. He is handsome and good at hosting. He has been hosting the morning news for so long and hasn’t made a mistake.
Chen Zui came out of the office with the script. Lu Fan had been watching him since he walked into the office. Seeing him come back, he leaned forward, “Why was Tian Sen looking for you?”
“Nothing.” Tian Sen would naturally announce the new show in the next meeting. Chen Zui didn’t want to explain and simply sat down in his seat. Lu Fan was angered by his attitude. They obviously were hired at the same time so why does he feel inferior? It is the same with the noon news. If he was the one hosting, wouldn’t he be the one that is popular right now?
Why is Chen Zui always lucky?
Chen Zui didn't pay attention to Lu Fan's thoughts. He packed his things and clocked out of work. Today, there are no fans downstairs, so he took advantage of this opportunity to go to the hospital to see Deng Liyang.
Deng Liyang’s arm is still in a plaster. The station granted him a month's leave but after a few days, he couldn’t sit still anymore.
“I realize that people who can’t work will want to work.” Deng Liyang leaned on the pillow, bored, “It’s boring staying in the hospital. I want to drink. I’ve decided to discharge tomorrow.”
Chen Zui, who was peeling an apple, raised his head and glanced at him. As the saying goes, once the scar is gone, the pain is forgotten. He hasn’t healed from his injuries but he already wants to die.
“Zui’er, how are you and your junior sister?”
“I plan on inviting her for a meal tomorrow with Chen Yiran.”
“You are progressing very fast! This is basically a family of three!”
Chen Zui stuffed the apple into his mouth to block what he was going to say.
Deng Liyang took a bite of the apple and took the apple out of his mouth with his working hand. “Let’s not talk about your junior sister. How has the station been recently? Do they all miss me?”
“There is going to be a new show that will take the place of Teacher Zheng’s talk show. The host is me.”
“.....” At this time, Deng Liyang’s good mood is down. First, he was on the hot search on Weibo and now the station is giving him a new show? “I broke my arm and you are flourishing. Are we even brothers?”
Chen Zui smiled and looked at him, “Don’t mention it. Once you weren’t around, my life seemed to have improved.”
Deng Liyang, “....”
He felt that the hand he broke was for Chen Zui’s luck!
Leaving the hospital, Chen Zui took out his phone intending to send a message to Zhen Tian.
He wanted to ask her out for a meal tomorrow as well as tell her about the new show.
He looked at Zhen Tian’s profile and smiled. He put his phone back in his bag.
He should tell her in person.
In the evening, just like yesterday, Chen Zui went out early. When he arrived at Zhen Tian’s store, the closed sign still hung on the door.
When Chen Zui opened the door and walked in, he saw Ah Zhong standing by the entrance. When Ah Zhong saw him, he was obviously surprised, “Anchor Chen, you’re here too?”
Too? Chen Zui narrowed his eyes at him, “Who else is here?”
Ah Zhong subconsciously covered his mouth, wanting to take his words back, “President Zhou.”
His answer was vague but Chen Zui still understood. It should be Zhen Tian’s internet friend, Zhou Keye.
He didn’t speak and directly walked in. A man is sitting by the bar. Looking at his back, he could tell it was Zhou Keye.
Zhen Tian was talking about something with him. She accidentally caught a glimpse of Chen Zui coming over and called him, "Senior?"
“En.” Chen Zui walked to a seat next to Zhou Keye and gave him a slight smile, “What a coincidence.”
Zhou Keye also smiled, "Yes, it is."
Ah Zhong secretly watched them from the door and sweated. What’s the matter with these men? Why do they all like to come before the store opens?
Zhen Tian saw Chen Zui sit down and rubbed the tip of her nose, “Senior, would you like to drink something?”
Chen Zui didn’t intend to drink when he came today but it seems fine right now, “Just the same as the one you gave me yesterday, Mania Paradise.”
“Okay.” Zhen Tian gave him a cup of Mania Paradise and asked, “Do you want something to eat?”
“I’ll go home and eat.”
When Zhou Keye heard him say this, he said, “Speaking of which, Mr. Chen’s nephew and my niece are classmates.”
It was the first time Zhen Tian heard about this and looked at them in surprise, “Is there such a coincidence?”
“En.” Zhou Keye smiled and nodded, “Today is Saturday. Don’t Mr. Chen need to accompany his nephew at home?”
Chen Zui took a sip of the beer Zhen Tian handed him and looked at Zhou Keye, “Mr. Zhou runs a brewery in C City, right? Is it okay for you to stay in A City for so long?”
Zhen Tian answered him, “He is here to say goodbye. He is leaving tomorrow.”
“Really?” Zhen Tian’s words improved Chen Zui’s mood. He raised his beer glass and smiled sincerely this time, “Then I wish Mr. Zhou the best.”
Thank you." Zhou Keye also raised his beer glass and clinked glasses with him.
After he finished the beer, Zhou Keye stood up and said goodbye to Zhen Tian, “My family is preparing a farewell dinner at home so I will go back first. I will see you the next time I have a chance.”
Zhen Tian nodded, “Okay.”
Zhou Keye looked at her with a smile. He will come back soon.
“I’m leaving, Mr. Chen.”
“Take care.” Chen Zui watched him walk out of the bar and took a sip of the beer with his eyes turned away.
When Zhou Keye was here, Zhen Tian didn’t bother to ask him. Once he was gone, she finally said, “Senior, did something happen?”
“En.” Chen Zui nodded and smiled at her, “After I posted on Weibo as you said, no one came to ABA today.”
“That’s great. I was afraid that with how coldly you wrote the post, no one would listen to you!”
Chen Zui froze, “I always talk like this.”
"No, you are very gentle when you chat with me!" You even laugh!
Chen Zui's eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his head with a smile.
That's because it's you.
Seeing him drinking with his head buried, Zhen Tian asked him curiously: "By the way, senior, what does the string of letters in your Weibo name mean? I haven't spelled it out for a long time."
These words really made Chen Zui laugh, "If you can't pronounce it, it's fine. I typed it casually."
Zhen Tian, “....”
Okay.
"But during the meeting in the station today, the leader also asked me to change my name. I'll change it to Chen Zui when I go back." Chen Zui’s tone changed to the kind of gentleness that Zhen Tian mentioned, "There is still something else I want to tell you. The station has created a new show and decided to let me be the host."
"Really?" Zhen Tian was so happy that her eyes brightened. She always felt that with Chen Zui's ability, it would be a shame to only preside over the morning news! "What program is it? When will it be broadcast? I'm going to watch it."
“It won’t be broadcast soon. It’s a talk show, you may not like it.”
"Who says. If you sit there and eat sunflower seeds, I can watch it all night!"
Chen Zui was silent for a while before he let out a deep laugh.
Zhen Tian realized what she had just said. Her ears became redder from Chen Zui’s laughter. Why is it that she can’t control her mouth in front of her senior!
She remembered what Zhu Ling said before, you can’t control who you like.
“Well, since you are going to host a new program, that is good news. Why don’t we find some time to celebrate?” Zhen Tian found out that her ability to change the subject has improved.
The smile on Chen Zui’s lips hasn’t completely disappeared. He looked at her and nodded, “Ok, we can go tomorrow. I will bring Chen Yiran with us.”
