Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin

Gu Miaomiao was having a blast playing with her chair, took a glance, and said, "Hey, Second Brother, your face is looking dark."

She jumped down, walked over, tugged at Gu Che's sleeve, "Are you upset? Is it because of Ai Zhen?"

Gu Che tugged at the corners of his lips, "That person is here to ask for a favor."

Tuanzi didn't quite understand.

"Favor?"

Gu Che said awkwardly, "The cause of the matter probably has to do with me."

He had vaguely heard that Ai Zhen had some connection with their father.

If Gu Cheng helped him get some of the original footage of "Star Chasing Journey," he most likely contacted this Ai Zhen.

There are small groups in TV stations too. It's heard that the director of Pineapple TV is about to retire, and Ai Zhen will certainly strive for a position. He's hurriedly looking for Gu Cheng, most likely because this "Go on an Adventure Together" project was approved by Ai Zhen, and he wants to use it to make achievements.

Coincidentally, their sister is back, and "Travel with Parents 2" is very popular because of their sister's high profile, so they approached them.

But, their sister suddenly went to another show, a competitive show, there's bound to be many people who criticize her, and they would criticize their elder brother too.

Didn't Ai Zhen think of this?

If they had finished filming "Travel with Parents 2," and the schedules of the two shows were staggered, they would definitely go,

"Damn it!"

The top star looked extremely ugly, especially since this matter was caused by his elder brother wanting to help him.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Tuanzi patted his hand.

"Miaomiao feels elder brother is a very cautious person, he must have considered everything when he does things, you can discuss it with him."

Gu Che became even more awkward.

"For now, I don't want to communicate with him."

Thinking about what elder brother said, and what he did, he just felt… his ears started to burn again.

Tuanzi didn't care.

"Your relationship is bad because of lack of communication."

She opened the door, pushed Gu Che out, ran into the room, leaving only a gap, with her big eyes looking outward.

"Hurry up, hurry up, Miaomiao often communicates with the master, and our relationship is very good!"

[Ancient Martial System: Is the communication you're talking about when you secretly ate the beggar's chicken he made, broke his beloved teacup, drew in his books, and finally got chased for several mountains by him holding a broom?]

Not listening, not listening, the system was reciting.*

With a "bang," Tuanzi shut the door, refusing to let Second Brother into his own room.

The top star struggled for a bit in the living room before slowly heading to the kitchen.

What he saw was a man in a white shirt handling ingredients with meticulous care.

The word 'serious' seemed to be engraved in this person's bones.

He was momentarily reminded of things from his childhood.

Father was an actor, mother was a director, the two were extremely busy, only a nanny took care of them.

It was like inviting a wolf into the house, that nanny bullied him when he was young and naive, and it was elder brother who discovered it. He distinctly remembered the rational and calm elder brother as a teenager called the police and handled everything in an orderly manner when the parents weren't home.

Later, elder brother even learned to cook.

Actually, the relationship between the two brothers was very good when they were young. Later, elder brother went to boarding school in high school, and then went to college, their communication decreased, and when they occasionally met, elder brother often had a stern face, telling him what not to do.

He felt aggrieved, and rebellious, whenever they met, they would argue. When he attended college, elder brother was rooted in the crew, making communication even less.

After the incident with parents and sister, he once wanted to suspend schooling, but elder brother ran to the crew without looking back, turning into a workaholic.

Initially insisting on going to the talent show, there was actually a bit of defiance. With parents and sister gone, elder brother wasn't paying attention to him.

There were many uncles, but there was always a layer of distance.

"Come over and help."

The clear voice interrupted Gu Che's memories.

Gu Che pouted, "I can't."

"Then learn."

The top star 'hmph' one time, still went into the kitchen to help wash vegetables.

The two brothers rarely chatted calmly.

"That Ai Zhen..."

Gu Cheng was cutting the tenderloin.

"Miaomiao told you?"

"Mm, she's curious..." Gu Che hesitated for a bit, then said, "Even if it's hard to repay the favor, don't rashly agree. 'Go on an Adventure Together' doesn't have high popularity, you're just the director, if you participated as a guest and revived the show, it's fine, if not, it becomes a stain in history."

The main issue was he couldn't imagine the serious elder brother participating in a variety show.

It's scary just to think about.

"Won't participate, can't participate either."

Gu Che paused, looked back, and found Gu Cheng had cut the tenderloin into consistent size and thickness.

Jealousy! Why doesn't he have such good knife skills?

"How many episodes did you sign with Miaomiao?"

Gu Che reluctantly withdrew the jealous gaze, "Two episodes at a time, mainly considering my work schedule."

The most brutal part of live-streaming variety shows is the production team and most guests sign one episode contract at a time. If your performance isn't good, and your popularity isn't high in this episode, you can be replaced at any time. The initial guests aren't necessarily fixed guests.

Gu Che signed two episodes with his sister. If he can't manage work later, or the sister doesn't adapt to the show, they won't participate in the next episode.

"Although the agent told me Director Qian plans to sign for all upcoming episodes directly. I'm still considering it. This and 'Go on an Adventure Together'... oh," Gu Che realized, "similar shows can't be participated in simultaneously. The key isn't you, it's Miaomiao."

Sister already participated in "Travel with Parents 2," as long as there's a contract, even if Ai Zhen talks favors, Gu Cheng can't take people there. You have to wait for sister to finish participating in this side's show.

They're willing to repay the favor, but the premise is not to let sister be criticized.

"Their show airs first, surely finishes the live broadcast earlier."

Gu Che felt relaxed.

"Then I sign for a long-term contract."

Gu Cheng was lightly 'mm'-ing as he marinated the tenderloin.

But when he looked back and discovered Gu Che was treating the coriander terribly, the expression wasn't so good.

"Are you washing clothes?"

"Hm?"

The top star looked down and realized each coriander stalk was wilted.

He struggled to cover up, "Actually, Miaomiao definitely doesn't like to eat it, so better not add the coriander."

"Can't be picky."

Gu Cheng drove him out.

Gu Che pouted, and just as he reached the door, he saw a Tuanzi running away quickly.

"Miaomiao, you were eavesdropping!"

"No!"

Tuanzi quickly ran back to her room.

She cheerfully rubbed her face first, and then became nervous.

"That green vegetable has a scary taste."

Her chubby face tightened.

"It's the scariest green vegetable Miaomiao has ever encountered!"

[Ancient Martial System: That is called coriander, not green vegetable.]

"All the same!"

Tuanzi made up her mind that no matter what, she wouldn't eat coriander later!

The taste, too scary! She definitely wouldn't eat it!

The dining table.

Tuanzi had been sitting obediently on the chair, but seeing the beef with coriander.

Tuanzi: o(╥﹏╥)o

"Why? Why does delicious beef pair with dreadful coriander? Why? Why exactly?"

She wished she could cry a waterfall of tears.

Gu Che directly tattled, "I said don't add coriander, yet he did, you should scold him."

Gu Cheng calmly said, "Can't be picky."

Tuanzi: o(╥﹏╥)o

She resolutely didn't eat the beef with coriander flavor, and picked sweet and sour tenderloin instead.

"Delicious! So delicious!"

She ate with legs swinging and threw praises like confetti towards Gu Cheng.

Even someone as composed as Gu Cheng showed a hint of redness in his ears.

Sister is too good at complimenting people.
