My Wife is a Big Star Chapter 98 : I Also Want to Know

Chapter 98 - I Also Want to Know

"When we first t, I knew you were very good—kind-hearted and good-natured—but I didn't expect you to be this capable. If I had a son like you, I'd be proud to the heavens."

Director Zhang's face was completely red, and his breath reeked of alcohol as he spoke.

Aunt Yun frowned and said:

"Look at what you've drunk yourself into. Stop drinking. You still have to go to work tomorrow. No matter how happy you are, you have to drink in moderation. You're starting to talk nonsense."

Chen Ran just smiled from the side.

For Uncle Zhang, this was a case of 'the alcohol doesn't intoxicate the man; the man intoxicates himself.' He hadn't even drunk as much tonight as he did last ti.

"It's fine, I'm happy today! Our Chen Ran is going to enter the satellite TV channel. You know how much I wanted to enter the satellite TV channel back then, but my abilities weren't up to par. I couldn't compare to others; I'm a diocrity. Now that Chen Ran has this skill, this ability, even if I have to throw away my pride, I must fight for this opportunity for him. But this kid has really lived up to expectations, truly lived up to them!"

Uncle Zhang chuckled, talking a whole lot.

Aunt Yun said helplessly, "Alright, alright. Chen Ran entering the satellite TV channel makes everyone happy, so I won't try to persuade you otherwise. But if you keep drinking, you can sleep in the study by yourself. I can't stand this sll."

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang shook his head and sat up straight.

"I've had enough. Mhm, in moderation, I've had enough. Chen Ran, let's drink again next ti."

Chen Ran hurriedly said, "Okay Uncle, we'll drink again next ti. Today is enough!"

Actually, he also felt a little dizzy; fortunately, he had drunk very little.

Uncle Zhang had poured him one glass, and then refilled his own three tis.

Chen Ran still had more than half of this glass left.

After washing up, Uncle Zhang went straight to sleep.

Since Chen Ran hadn't changed clothes and was currently reeking of alcohol, he couldn't go straight to work like this tomorrow, so no matter how late it was, he had to hurry back.

Aunt Yun tried to persuade him to stay, but unable to convince Chen Ran, she could only instruct him to absolutely be careful on the road.

Being blown by the wind outside, Chen Ran felt he had sobered up quite a bit. He hailed a taxi and leaned back in the car, zoning out as he looked at the neon lights outside.

By the ti he arrived at his place, Chen Ran had already mostly sobered up.

He had just laid down on his bed when he received a call from Zhang Fanzhi.

"I heard from my mom that you drank?" Zhang Fanzhi asked right as she opened her mouth.

"Mhm, Uncle was happy today, so I accompanied him and drank a little," Chen Ran said, nodding.

Zhang Fanzhi said, "You should drink less."

Chen Ran said, "I didn't drink much today either."

Zhang Fanzhi didn't speak. She was probably a little displeased in her heart. After a while, she finally said:

"If you drank, why didn't you sleep at the house?"

"I was at your house yesterday, and today I reek of alcohol. If I go to work like this tomorrow, others will have to cover their noses and avoid when they see ." Chen Ran smiled and said,

"Anyway, taking a taxi over doesn't take much ti. What about you, didn't you have a program today?"

"It was a morning program. I returned to the apartnt in the afternoon," Zhang Fanzhi said.

Chen Ran felt a bit moved and said, "Do you want to start a video call?"

Zhang Fanzhi hesitated slightly, "Probably not."

Chen Ran said regretfully, "Alright then, we'll do it another day."

Zhang Fanzhi paused for a mont, seemingly hesitating, before saying again, "Wait a minute."

Following a beep beep sound, the call was cut.

Having drunk alcohol, Chen Ran's thinking was a bit slow, and he didn't understand what Zhang Fanzhi was doing.

But after a short while, a video call invitation ca through on his WeChat.

Chen Ran's heart suddenly leaped with joy. He connected the video call and saw Zhang Fanzhi's familiar face.

Seeing her video background, Chen Ran asked in confusion, "Are you outside?"

"Mhm, it was a bit stuffy in the apartnt, so I ca out for a walk." Zhang Fanzhi nodded.

"On such a cold day, you should go back inside," Chen Ran said.

Zhang Fanzhi knitted her brows, "No need, it's not cold."

Seeing this expression of hers, Chen Ran imdiately thought of the reason why she was starting a video call outside.

Could it be to hide from Sister Lin?

Thinking of this, Chen Ran felt a bit happy, yet his heart also ached a little for her.

Zhang Fanzhi asked, "I heard you won an award?"

Chen Ran nodded and said, "Mhm, the station's Best Program Planner."

"Can you go to the satellite TV channel now?"

"I don't know yet, I still have to see after the New Year."

Zhang Fanzhi pursed her lips: "If there's any good news in the future, I want to know too."

Hearing her words, Chen Ran imdiately nodded.

Today when he won the award, he had wanted to send a ssage to Zhang Fanzhi while in the car; he really wanted to share it with her.

But thinking that in case Zhang Fanzhi was participating in an event and her phone was in Tao Lin's hands, he forcibly held himself back from sending it.

He had originally wanted to call and tell her, but he didn't expect Zhang Fanzhi to proactively ask.

In Chen Ran's view, this was a very good piece of news.

……

When Chen Ran woke up the next day, his head felt heavy as always.

"I will absolutely not drink alcohol in the future!" Chen Ran pledged in his heart.

Feeling uncomfortable the day after drinking, and with Zhang Fanzhi not liking it either, he decided that if he could avoid drinking, he wouldn't drink.

Upon arriving at the TV station, everyone in the program crew was beaming with joy.

They hadn't expected beforehand that they would win the Best Team Award; it was a completely unexpected delight.

During the morning eting today, the director directly announced that everyone in the program crew would be getting a bonus raise.

From the broadcast of the program until now, the bonuses had been raised ti and ti again. After producing Challenge the Microphone, the bonuses for everyone in the old team had almost doubled compared to before.

Now that it was being raised yet again, naturally, everyone was happy.

After the eting dismissed, while Chen Ran was busy, Director Liu ca over to look for him.

"Congratulations, you've beco a celebrity in our TV station," Director Liu said with a chuckle.

"Director, what you're saying is a bit too exaggerated." Chen Ran smiled.

Director Liu shook his head: "This isn't an exaggeration, but the truth."

Chen Ran was previously unknown. Even after producing I Love Rembering Lyrics and Challenge the Microphone, those that beca famous were the team and the entertainnt channel; very few people paid attention to Chen Ran himself.

But last night at the annual eting, when Chen Ran's resu was displayed, everyone finally realized that the entertainnt channel actually had such an incredible talent.

Except for Great Beauty Zhaonan which he just tagged along with and made no real contribution to, the other three programs were all planned by his hands, and their viewership ratings were equally terrifying.

The key was that Chen Ran was still very young; it had been less than a year since he entered the TV station up to now.

Among the n, what circulated was his ability, but among the won, it was his good looks.

A level of attractiveness that could withstand the test of stage lighting without wearing any makeup was indeed very eye-catching.

Therefore, he had indeed beco famous in the TV station.

Chen Ran smiled gently and said, "Director, you couldn't be looking for just to praise , right?"

Director Liu chuckled and said, "I'm not that bored. It's Director Yang who is looking for you; he wants you to make a trip to his office."

Chen Ran was puzzled in his heart. "What does the Director need for?"

"I'm not clear either, presumably he wants to talk to you about matters regarding the programs," Director Liu said.

Harboring his doubts, Chen Ran went to the Director's office.

After going in, Director Yang Qijun said, "Take a seat for a mont."

Once he finished his busy work, he finally smiled at Chen Ran and asked, "How does it feel to win the Best Planner award?"

Chen Ran hadn't expected the director to ask this question. After being slightly stunned, he said truthfully,

"A bit unexpected, but also very pleasantly surprised!"

Yang Qijun also laughed:

"Not just you, I was surprised too. When the station said Challenge the Microphone wouldn't be counted towards the Best Program, I knew it would be very difficult for you. I just didn't expect they would count Zhaonan Focus as well. It's also your good luck."

As he spoke, he picked up a docunt from beside him and handed it over.

"Take a look."

Chen Ran took the docunt in confusion, lowered his head to look at it for a mont, and then was completely stunned.
