Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 30


The rice cooker sounded, signaling that the rice was ready. Chen Zui glanced back and said to her, “I’ll go get the rice.”

"Okay." After he left, Zhen Tian secretly exhaled a few breaths. She was so nervous just now. Chen Zui just sitting beside her could make her heart beat faster.

As if knowing that Zhen Tian was nervous, Chen Zui sat across from Zhen Tian during the meal. The food he bought had the best reputation in their area. After tasting it, Zhen Tian said that although it couldn't compare with Ms. Wang Shuzhen's craftsmanship, it was already very good.

“I will cook for you next time,” Chen Zui said.

“Okay.” Zhen Tian took a bite of the ribs and looked elsewhere.

Chen Zui put a spoonful of tofu in her bowl and naturally asked her, “Have you told your family about us?”

"Yeah." Zhen Tian looked at the bowl on the table and nodded her head, "I told them when I got back yesterday."

“What did they say?”

“Uh…” She couldn’t tell him that at the time, she was so embarrassed that she rushed back into her room without a care of their reaction.

“Do they disapprove?” Chen Zui assumed her hesitance was because her parents disapproved. “Is it because of Chen Yiran?”

“No, no, they don’t disapprove. They approve!” Zhen Tian knew how sensible Chen Yiran was, so she didn't want him to misunderstand that her family objected to her being with Chen Zui because of him.

Her eager appearance caused Chen Zui to look up at her, “Hm?”

There was a smile in his voice, and he looked at her with great interest. Zhen Tian felt that what she said just now sounded like her family was deeply afraid that she would not be able to marry, so she decided to repair her reputation, "You know it too, our whole family is your loyal audience."

Chen Zui smiled, “Then when will you find time to have a meal with your family. I will bring Chen Yiran along.”

“Okay.”

"After they meet Chen Yiran, I'll find another time to bring you to meet my parents."

Zhen Tian choked on the rice in his mouth. Chen Zui had already met her parents, so it stands to reason that it was her turn to meet his parents. But why did it feel like they are progressing too fast. Today is only their first official day as a couple!

"What's the matter, did you choke?" Chen Zui heard her cough, got up and poured her a glass of water, "Do you want some water?"

“Thank you.” Zhen Tian took a sip from the glass and slowly recovered her breath. Chen Zui waited for her to stop coughing before asking, “If you don’t want to meet my parents, we can take it slowly.”

“No, it’s not that I don’t want to see them. It just seems we are moving too fast?”

Chen Zui thought about it and it was indeed too fast. However, since they decided to be together, sooner or later they will have to meet. But if Zhen Tian thinks it’s too soon, he doesn’t want her to feel anxious, “Then we will take them to dinner another time.”

“Ok.”

Chen Zui picked up another dish and put it in her bowl, ‘By the way, Deng Liyang got discharged from the hospital.”

“Ah? He is all better?” As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days for bones to heal. He is also in a plaster so it shouldn’t heal that fast.

“It shouldn’t be a big problem, it will just be inconvenient in everyday life.”

Zhen Tian nodded, “Will Sister Miaomiao be taking care of him at home?”

Chen Zui paused for a moment, “They broke up.”

“Huh?” Zhen Tian froze, “When did it happen?”

"Just two days ago." Chen Zui didn't want to mention this matter anymore. Deng Liyang called him and cried for half an hour, which gave him a headache, "Let them solve their problems by themselves. No one else can interfere."

“Oh.” Although Zhen Tian didn’t know Deng Liyang for that long, Zhen Tian knows a lot about his relationship with Li Miao. “Does it have to do with Sister Miaomiao going to travel with her male colleague?”

“En.”

“....” She felt sorry for Brother Deng, “Then should we go see him?”

Chen Zui raised a brow at her, “If we go see him, it will rile him even more.”

Zhen Tian, “....”

Makes sense.

In order not to irritate Chen Yiran when he came back from school, Zhen Tian helped Chen Zui clean up the table after eating and drove to the bar after staying for a short while. Naturally, Chen Zui's plan to watch a movie didn’t happen but he is not in a hurry. There will be more opportunities in the future.

Chen Yiran came home in the evening. Before Chen Zui could talk to him about the fight, he asked, “Uncle, why did Sister Tiantian go to school with you today? Are you two together?”

Chen Zui was going over the materials related to the news program and his attitude toward Chen Yiran was indifferent, “Do I need to explain this to you?”

“Of course, I have the right to know who my aunt is!”

“Oh.” Chen Zui glanced at him, “Then yes.”

Chen Yiran’s enthusiasm did not subside from his cold attitude, “When did you two get together?”

“Why don’t we talk about you and Zhou Huihui first.”

“....” Chen Zui was silent for a moment before he waved at Chen Zui, “Uncle, I will go do my homework first.”

After successfully getting rid of his nephew, Chen Zui continued on with his work.

The new program is a talk show with industry leaders, tentatively named Noble Specialty. Everything has been planned out but the only thing that is bothering everyone is who should be invited for the first episode.

As a new show, if you want to attract more viewers, you must find a guest with high viewer traffic. However, as a follow-up to The Zheng Weiguo Show, the show isn’t too low and the guests naturally can’t be some internet celebrity. Even popular stars were rejected by the station’s big bosses.

Everyone discussed this for a while with multiple meetings for this issue. Finally, they decided on the first guest to be the screenwriter for the popular TV show The Last Journey, Shu Xuan.

This drama is undoubtedly the most popular drama of this year and its ratings continue to soar, hitting new highs one after the other. Even the theme songHeartstringsung by Li Shen has swept major music charts and is played in all stores.

As the screenwriter of this drama, Shu Xuan is definitely popular enough. In addition, as a senior screenwriter, she has produced many classic scripts, which can match the concept of the show.

After the guest had been decided, the next steps were much smoother. The production team contacted Shu Xuan to confirm that she could come to participate in the program recording and then made the matter public on Weibo. Tian Sen also specifically mentioned this matter at the daily meeting, "The new program to replace Mr. Zheng's talk show has been officially confirmed. I believe everyone more or less knows this. The host is Chen Zui. The first guest will be shu Xuan. When she comes, everyone should cooperate more. In addition, the official account is already promoting this matter. Chen Zui remember to forward it on Weibo."

"Okay." Chen Zui's Weibo is no longer what it used to be. The number of followers is almost catching up with ABA’s official account. His Weibo name was also changed from a bunch of garbled characters to ABA Chen Zui at the request of the station leaders.

“The station attaches great importance to this new program. I hope that all departments can coordinate their work, and other colleagues will also cooperate more, to give a satisfactory answer to both the station and the audience. The last episode of Mr. Zheng's show will be recorded today. We are already recruiting audience members for the new show. There are also a few reserved spaces in the audience to invite relatives and friends to come. If you want it, you can come to me later and ask for a seat."

A lot of things were explained at today's meeting, and it took longer than usual. After the meeting ended, Chen Zui first reposted the official Weibo, then went to Tian Sen's office and asked him for two audience seats.

“For girlfriend?” Tian Sen looked at him with a playful smile in his eyes.

Fortunately, Chen Zui has always been serious, facing the leader's upfront teasing, his expression still doesn’t change, "Yes."

Tian Sen laughed and said, “Ok, fill out the audience’s information and I will report it.”

"Thank you Produce Tian." Chen Zui asked for two because one is for Zhen Tian and the other is for her mother. He didn't know if they were free that day, so he sent a message first to ask.

Zhen Tian: I'm free, I'm free! Even if I’m not free I will make time!

Zhen Tian: Can we really watch the show live? My mom is probably going to be so excited! She will brag about it to her friends again!

Chen Zui laughed and replied, "Then you all fill out the form, and I'll hand it in later."

Zhen Tian: En!

As these two were still chatting, on another side, the topic “ABA Anchor Chen’s Illegitimate Child” became a trending topic.
