Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 31


The hot topic came so suddenly that the person involved didn’t notice it at all. After Chen Zui and Zhen Tian finished talking, he went back to work on the new program. Zhen Tian got up from bed with her phone in hand and ran downstairs to find Ms. Wang Shuzhen.

“Mom, Senior just now said that we can watch the new program live, do you want to go?”

She was wearing pajamas and slippers with uncombed hair. Ms. Wang Shuzhen originally wanted to make a mockery of her but was attracted to what she said, “What new show? What senior?”

“What do you mean, of course, it is Chen Zui.” Zhen Tian replied.

Ms.Wang Shuzhen stared at her, “Isn’t he your boyfriend? Why are you still calling him this way?”

After Ms. Wang Shuzhen said this, Zhen Tian realized she had been calling him this the entire time. It seemed a bit strange not to call him senior but how should she call him? Some endearing names popped into her head which caused her to blush. She coughed and avoided the topic, “I want to ask if you want to go or not.”

“Of course, I want to go. Watching Chen Zui’er live will definitely feel different.” She smiled happily and then looked at Zhen Tian with satisfaction, “Having a daughter as his girlfriend indeed has some benefits.”

Zhen Tian pursed her lips. Ms. Wang Shuzhen is clearly using her daughter as a tool to chase stars! “Then I am going to fill in the form. The program time has not yet been determined, and it may take about half a month."

"Go, go." Ms. Wang Shuzhen waved her away. Before Zhen Tian left, she happened to see Ms. Wang Shuzhen's cell phone light up. It was a call from her friend, Aunt Liao: "Aunt Liao called you."

“Oh.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen picked up her phone and answered the call, “Liaoliao, what’s the matter?”

"Zhenzhen, didn't you tell me that Chen Zui was with your family Zhen Tian two days ago?"

"Yeah, just now he invited us to be a live audience member on his new show."

"What, that's great!" Aunt Liao was so excited that she almost forgot the business on hand "But it was said on the Internet that Chen Zui has an illegitimate child!"

“Illegitimate child?” Ms. Wang Shuzhen was taken aback and frowned.

When Zhen Tian heard these two words, she stopped and looked back. What illegitimate child? Could it be that Ah Jin of Aunt Liao’s family not only had three kids with Honghong but also had illegitimate kids with other dogs? But isn’t Ah Jin neutered?

She was making up a big melodrama on the side. After Ms. Wang Shuzhen finished her call, she looked back at her and said, “Your Aunt Liao said that there is a rumor on the internet that Chen Zui has an illegitimate child. What is going on?”

When Zhen Tian was asked such a question suddenly, she was taken aback. It turns out that the protagonist this time is not Ah Jin, but Chen Zui. But where did such an illegitimate child come from? "Did they think that Chen Yiran is his son?"

Ms. Wang Shuzhen nodded, “That is possible.”

"I'll check Weibo first, don't spread rumors!" Zhen Tian reminded Ms. Wang Shuzhen as she walked upstairs. Ms. Wang Shuzhen clicked her tongue, is she so ignorant?

But she really couldn't let go of this matter. According to what Zhen Tian and Chen Zui said, Chen Yiran has been with Chen Zui for six years. Why did people suddenly start a rumor that he is Chen Zui's illegitimate son? Will this affect Chen Zui?

Zhen Tian also has such worries. Seeing that his new program is about to be arranged, a hot search for an illegitimate child suddenly pops up. No matter how you look at it, someone did it on purpose! Although a news anchor is not a celebrity, he still represents the image of the TV station. It is unknown how the TV station will deal with such negative news.

On Weibo, the topic of Chen Zui's illegitimate child is still being discussed hotly, and people are eating melons on Chen Zui’s Weibo.

“Isn’t Chen Zui’er not married? Where did an illegitimate child come from!”

“Are you people stupid? If you are married, it won’t be called an illegitimate child okay?”

“@ABA TV Station, please take this seriously!”

“Allow me to make a theory. ABA just announced the news about Chen Zui’er’s new show. Immediately after there is a hot search about an illegitimate kid. Isn’t it trying to create a scandal?”

“Hehe, although he is currently very popular, he is still a news anchor. Do they need such big fanfare to vilify him? I think he is trying to create hype around himself [smile].”

“Hahaha those who say he has not antis, antis are camping out on his Weibo right now.”

“Ok, I’ll admit it, I am the child’s mother.”

“Look at the picture. The kids look around 7-8 years old. Chen Zui is not that old, how can he have a child that big!”

“Maybe he got a girl pregnant in university? [picks nose] That’s even more scum-like [picks nose]”

"Some people's faces are really ugly [smiles] Isn't our Chen Zui'er just about to start a new show, their eyes are so red that they are bleeding [smiles]"

“Is the TV world this scary now?”

“Will Chen Zui’er’s new show be affected by this? No, I am still looking forward to it _(:з∠)_”

The comments on Chen Zui's Weibo kept increasing. Zhen Tian couldn't finish scrolling through them. After reading some, she quit. Zhen Tian also saw the photo mentioned in the comment, it was indeed Chen Yiran. Fortunately, the person who took the sneak shot was quite conscientious and didn’t show his face.

Does senior know about this? During this period, he has been very busy preparing for the new program. She saw a lot of information about it at his house, and he was still working on it when he got home. If the show is really affected by this incident, then the instigator is too much.

It is easy to explain this matter, but the melon-eating people may not believe it. There are obviously some people going along with the tide. Will the TV station sacrifice Chen Zui for the sake of the overall situation?

The more Zhen Tian thought about it, the more worried she became. She desperately wanted to call Chen Zui, but she was afraid that he was busy. In the end, she only sent a message on WeChat, and Chen Zui could reply whenever he sees it.

The news about Chen Zui's illegitimate child was also spread to ABA TV. His colleagues all knew about Chen Yiran's existence and never questioned Chen Zui's statement.

"Is Chen Yiran really Chen Zui's nephew? Have we been deceived all this time?"

A male colleague was talking about it in a low voice. When Lu Fan heard it, he sneered and said, "One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. Who knows what some people are like in private?"

He is implying that Chen Zui is lying. The rookie female anchor next to him had always been a fan of Chen Zui so she became angry after hearing this, “Teacher Lu Fan, you can’t say stuff like that. I haven’t been here for long but I already know that Chen Yiran is his nephew. You have worked with him for so many years, you can’t tell such little things apart?”

Lu Fan glanced at her and sarcastically said, “Why are you still standing up for him? I heard from Tian Sen that Chen Zui already has a girlfriend. He won’t look at you even if you speak up for him.”

"You!" The intern female anchor blushed and was about to cry. Du Yuting stood up and comforted her. Then she turned to Lu Fan and said, "Lu Fan, you are going too far. Besides, everyone knows about Chen Yiran, so there is no need to discuss it here. The station will naturally make arrangements to deal with this matter. Everyone go about your own business."

Du Yuting is a senior in the station and was here at the same time as Deng Liyang. When she said this, no one talked about this matter anymore.

In Tian Sen’s office, Chen Zui is having a meeting with him.

"Someone must have bought the hot search on purpose. Now everyone is paying attention. You should clarify on Weibo." Tian Sen looked at him and guessed his thoughts, "I know you want to protect Chen Yiran and don’t want his information to be public. However, now it is the time when the new program is being prepared, so what should be said should be clearly stated. How it is said is up to you.”

Chen Zui pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Then he nodded, “I understand, I will post a clarification when I go out later.”

“En, the station will also help you clarify. I have already vented my anger with the higher-ups. I won’t replace the host because of this matter. Don’t worry about it.”

“Thank you.” Chen Zui was sincere when he said this. After all, it was because of his personal affair that had caused such a huge commotion at the station. “About the person who bought the hot search…”

“The station will also investigate this. You don’t have to worry about it.” Tian Sen interrupted him.

Chen Zui closed his mouth and nodded. Judging from Tian Sen's reaction, he must know who this person is, but he didn't want him to intervene and cause extra problems.

It seems likely that the person works at the TV station.

Chen Zui himself has some suspicions. He has an idea of which of his colleagues could do this. But if Tian Sen doesn’t want him to take care of this matter, then he will pretend not to know.

After leaving the office, his colleagues turned to him in unison, but he didn't explain anything. He sat back at his desk and prepared to make a post to clarify the matter.

He received a lot of messages from friends and family on his phone. Chen Zui glanced at it and clicked on Zhen Tian’s chatbox to reply to her, “Don’t worry. Everything is fine, it won’t affect the show.”

Zhen Tian jumped from her bed when she saw his reply, “That’s great as long as the program isn’t affected. I was afraid your boss would bully you!”

Chen Zui was amused by her response and his mood instantly became better, “Our boss is actually quite sensible. Otherwise, why would he entrust this new program to me?”

Zhen Tian: ...Why do I feel that you are praising inadvertently praising yourself?

Chen Zui: [laughing] He asked me to post an explanation on Weibo. I will post on Weibo first

Zhen Tian: Okay, I will repost it when it is published!

Chen Zui has been a news anchor for so many years and never thought that one day he would have to deal with something like this. Weibo was originally just an ordinary tool for him, but now it has become a channel for others to understand his every move.

ABA Chen Zui: Hello everyone, I am Chen Zui. The news about my illegitimate child is purely fake news. In the picture is my nephew.

After reading his explanation, Zhen Tian could only express her reaction will ellipses. Today’s senior is still as cold and callous as before!

But she still reposted his. Not only her but many of Chen Zui’s fans as well.

"Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors, trust our Anchor Chen! [cute]"

“Hahaha, Chen Zui’s denial is the smallest, shortest, and most concise I have ever seen.”

“Upstairs, are you saying Chen Zui’er is short and small? [smile]”

"Wait, why is this direction so strange? [covering face] Then let me draw a key point, it's his nephew!"

"If you say it's a nephew, it's a nephew. Where's the evidence?"

"Some people don't know shame. Do you have proof that he is an illegitimate child? Get lost."

“A man broadcasting the news won’t lie! Support Chen Zui’er!”

After Chen Zui came out and explained, the direction was similar to what he thought. Those who initially believed what he said believed him, and those who didn't believe him in the first place, no matter what he said, would not believe it either.

But he didn't care anymore. He had already done what he was supposed to do, and ABA's official blog also reposted his Weibo, which was regarded as an official seal. This matter came to an end for Chen Zui.

But some people obviously don't want to let this go. Lu Fan was also invited by Tian Sen to have a private chat. Although Tian Sen didn't say it explicitly, he was hinting between the lines. They already knew that he was responsible for the hot search.

He was indeed the one who bought the trending search, but he just wasn't willing to accept that Chen Zui received special attention from the station. He deliberately picked the time after the promotion of the new program to publish the scandal, hoping that the station would be pressured to replace Chen Zui. However, they still insisted on letting Chen Zui host it.

Just like that, are you still saying that you are not partial to Chen Zui? Lu Fan sneered. For so many years, he has been suppressed by Chen Zui. In the eyes of others, he seems to be inferior to Chen Zui in every aspect.

Jealousy grew in his heart day by day.

After Chen Zui posted an explanation on Weibo, he stopped paying attention to this matter. There are still many aspects of the new program that he needs to worry about. During the meeting in the past few days, he also put forward some ideas and revisions for the new program. The production team is still working things out, so Chen Zui doesn't have much leisure time to deal with it. However, Zhen Tian, ​​as his girlfriend, has the leisure to help him to take care of this.

She has been paying attention to the dynamics of Weibo all day long. After Chen Zui and ABA clarified, the popularity of this matter gradually dropped. She did not expect that the marketing account would still have a hand and suddenly wrote more about this matter. There's a sequel --

Chen Zui, a well-known ABA anchor, was taken care of by a rich woman when he was in college and has a son with her. As for who this rich woman is, they are not in a position to disclose.

"..." After Zhen Tian finished reading, her heart was surging. She remembered Chen Zui said that the first guest of the new program is Shu Xuan, the screenwriter of The Last Journey—Why are they inviting some other screenwriter, there are ready-made screenwriters right here, and the drama is better than Shu Xuan's. It also has suspense!

The marketing account didn't directly say who the rich woman who "raised" Chen Zui was, but they gave some heavily-veiled clues so that the melon-eating netizens could guess.

The enthusiasm of netizens was mobilized again. Although this information sounds unreliable, most people don't care about it. They just want to eat melons happily.

It was only after Chen Yiran came home that he found out that his uncle had been on trend for the entire day, and the main reason was because of him, the "illegitimate child".
.
Even the teachers at the school know that he is Chen Zui's nephew. How could these netizens be so imaginative? If there really was a rich woman to take care of his uncle, would he still worry about buying a house?

Looking at the antis who are smearing Chen Zui’s Weibo comments with hate, Chen Yiran rolled up his sleeves to fight them a few hundred rounds.
