"Hello, Chen Tai, am I disturbing your work?"
Looking at Tao Qian’s ingratiating expression, Chen Bin seed a bit surprised.
"What’s the matter?"
"Do you have ti at noon? I want to treat you to lunch and update you about so work."
Instantly, Chen Bin understood the other party’s intent.
He said calmly, "You can report to your direct supervisor, no need to co to ."
"My direct supervisor’s level of understanding cannot compare to yours at all. I’ve encountered so difficulties recently, and only you can guide . I hope you can give a chance to learn."
While speaking, Tao Qian sincerely bowed to Chen Bin.
When Chen Bin first joined the station, Tao Qian was at his peak, always looking down on others.
Even though Chen Bin was then the Deputy Director, Tao Qian paid him no mind.
Now that the tables have turned, this scene made Chen Bin very emotional.
"I don’t have ti, let’s talk about it another day."
"Alright, I’ll let you get busy."
With those words, Tao Qian respectfully left the office.
But he also knew that Chen Bin was the true decision-maker at the provincial TV station. If he didn’t curry favor with him, it would be equivalent to giving up his career entirely.
From that day onwards, Tao Qian often went to Chen Bin’s office to make his presence known.
Even if he was constantly ignored, he persisted in going.
Finally, after dozens of attempts, Chen Bin agreed to have a al with him.
At the restaurant, Tao Qian imdiately opened a bottle of high-proof Bailing Wine.
"Chen Tai, do you drink?"
"I don’t drink."
Nodding, Tao Qian filled his own glass.
Raising the wine glass towards Chen Bin, he said.
"Chen Tai, I toast to you with this glass in gratitude for giving a chance to dine with you."
With those words, he downed the drink in one go.
Perhaps overwheld by emotions, after sitting down, Tao Qian actually began to cry.
"I can’t get on any programs, colleagues avoid like the plague. I made this ss myself, I can’t bla others, but I truly realize my mistake. Chen Tai, I beg you, could you give another chance?"
Chen Bin didn’t say a word, rely bowed his head and continued eating in silence.
Seeing this, Tao Qian dropped to his knees with a thud.
Pathetically, he said, "Chen Tai, as long as you are willing to help , no matter what you ask of , I’m willing to do it!"
Putting down his chopsticks, Chen Bin spoke lightly.
"Why should I trust you?"
"I’m at my most desperate now. If you help , you’d be like a second father to . As much of a scoundrel as I am, I couldn’t possibly betray a father, right? If you don’t trust , you can thoroughly test ."
Chen Bin had co to this al intending to win Tao Qian over.
Seeing that the timing was about right, he nodded slightly.
"I can give you a chance. As for whether you can seize it, that depends on you. Don’t forget that although Lan Hui has escaped, her capture is only a matter of ti. If you want to avoid accountability, you need to listen."
Tao Qian had a sudden inspiration, imdiately stood up to pour a glass of water, and then knelt back down in front of Chen Bin.
Raising the glass with both hands above his head.
"Chen Tai, my parents passed away early, and I never had the chance to be filial to them. I hope you can be my godfather, giving a chance to fulfill my filial duty."
Seeing this scene, Chen Bin was quite taken aback.
He never expected that for the sake of his career, the other party would so casually acknowledge a godfather.
"Accepting as your godfather might not be suitable, I’m not much older than you."
"Age isn’t important, what’s important is my feelings for you. Your willingness to help is an incredible kindness, not recognizing you as my godfather really weighs on my conscience. Please, accept !"
Seeing the determination in the other’s attitude, Chen Bin couldn’t help but hesitate.
But after considering, he finally took the cup and drained the water inside.
"Alright then, I’ll accept you as my godson!"
Hearing this, Tao Qian was overjoyed and imdiately kowtowed three tis.
"Thank you, godfather, I will definitely honor you in the future!"
Putting down his teacup, Chen Bin said seriously.
"You used to rely on Lan Hui and act unscrupulously in the station. I hope you learn restraint in the future. Do you understand what I an?"
"Rest assured, godfather, I know what I’m supposed to do."
Chen Bin couldn’t stand such an address and had to say.
"Just make sure you perform well in the future, and don’t let anyone know about our relationship. Get up."
Since Tao Qian recognized a godfather, he soon returned to work.
Lan Moke was quite surprised to learn about it.
In fact, she had long wanted to ask Chen Bin for help, but due to her status as Lan Hui’s niece, she didn’t dare to act.
Later, seeing Tao Qian frequenting Chen Bin’s office every day, she quietly observed.
If Tao Qian could succeed, she’d also shalessly approach Chen Bin.
If he failed, she wouldn’t humiliate herself.
Now that Tao Qian had resud his normal work, Lan Moke’s thoughts beca more active.
After finishing the news programs, Chen Bin began quietly contemplating entertainnt shows.
After so thought, he called a eting with the station’s arts departnt.
He hoped to find a new path for entertainnt programming.
However, halfway through the eting, Chen Bin couldn’t help but shout in frustration.
"Are you all just dead weight? Not a single idea. Either co up with suggestions or get out!"
Faced with the furious Chen Bin, the arts departnt people were all terrified, heads bowed, not daring to speak.
But even after discussion, they couldn’t think of any good ideas.
At this mont, Chen Bin realized that these people weren’t not trying, they were purely useless!
Thus, the burden of entertainnt programming fell on him.
After so thought, Chen Bin instructed the arts departnt to investigate what types of programs the residents of Yanxi enjoy watching.
To ensure a better future, the arts departnt conducted online surveys and even conducted research in various cities across the province.
About half a month later, they classified the survey results and finally calculated percentages.
Looking at the report in his hand, Chen Bin began to ponder how to proceed with the program.
When he’d encountered difficulties in the past, he always liked lying in Zhao Xini’s arms.
In that comforting environnt, he always found a way through.
Unfortunately, the noise they made last ti woke up Zhao Nianbing.
Though they managed to get through it, Zhao Xini no longer allowed Chen Bin to fool around.
Later, moving into Liao Ruoji’s house, life was stable enough, but then Liao Ruoli ca along.
Not wanting to face those two troubleso kids, Chen Bin chose overti work instead.
At about half-past eight in the evening, a strong hunger hit him.
Just as he was preparing to find so food, there was a sudden knock at the door.
"Co in!"
Right after, Lan Moke entered holding a food container.
"Chen Tai, are you busy?"
Though Lan Moke was only in her twenties, she had a strong mature woman’s aura.
Coupled with her attractive face, she was quite eye-catching.
She ca as a surprise to Chen Bin.
"Is there sothing you need from ?"
