(An hour later) at the bar and restaurant.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't expect the traffic to be this bad today. It's usually not this congested at this time," Zeng Xiaoxian said apologetically.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Traffic jams are normal in big cities," Nuolan said gently.

"By the way, Nuolan, may I ask you something? Why did you suddenly decide to come to the midnight slot? Did something happen?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked.

"I'm sorry, this is not something I can disclose." Nolan seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes dimmed.

"Sorry, I was too talkative. Let's eat first, and then I'll take you to the radio station to get familiar with the environment." Zeng Xiaoxian quickly changed the subject when he saw that Nuolan's expression was off.

"Thank you for your trouble, Xiaoxian." Nuolan regained her normal expression.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. It's what I should do, after all, you're my partner," Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile.

(Thirty minutes later)

"I'm full, let's go. Sorry, I didn't have time to eat breakfast this morning." Zeng Xiaoxian was a little embarrassed.

Zeng Xiaoxian's inner monologue: The image I worked so hard to build is completely ruined. It's all because the new products were too delicious. One wrong move, and... sigh.

I brought Nuolan here to eat, but I ended up showing off and leaving Nuolan waiting here. How embarrassing!

"It's okay. It's normal for boys to eat more than girls. Besides, the food at this restaurant is really delicious. It's one of the top three restaurants I've ever been to."

"If I weren't naturally small-eater and couldn't eat anymore, I would still want to keep eating," Nuolan said with a smile.

“No problem, as long as you have time to come, eat as much as you want, it’s on me,” Zeng Xiaoxian said generously.

"I can't accept this. The food at this restaurant is so delicious, it must be expensive. Even though we're partners, it's not right for you to keep treating me."

The other colleagues probably misunderstood, and besides, I really don't have much time to come over. I'm usually quite busy after get off work. Oh, by the way, send me the bill later, and we'll split it." Nuolan said softly.

"No need, it's not much money. Besides, it's just treating my partner to a meal, there's no need to be so polite. Or are you looking down on my brother Xian?" Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile.

“That’s not what I meant. Okay then, I’ll treat you next time.” Nolan stood up.

"Okay, waiter, the bill! Put it on the tab as usual." Zeng Xiaoxian stood up and shouted.

"Okay, boss."

"Let's go, Nuolan." Zeng Xiaoxian walked towards the door.

"Xiaoxian, so you're the owner here!" Nuolan exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, half of it. This shop is run by my friend and me. He and his girlfriend usually manage it. I'm just a hands-off manager. I only come here occasionally for a meal or afternoon tea," Zeng Xiaoxian explained.

"I see. Your friend must be very talented and intelligent. The decor, the food, and the style here are all unique and eye-catching," Nuolan praised.

"Of course, my friend is a legend in the legal profession. He got a perfect score on the bar exam and has never lost a case. He's incredibly skilled."

However, this bar and restaurant were not designed by my friend, but by his girlfriend. Of course, his girlfriend is also quite capable; she doesn't go to school and gets perfect scores in every subject, thus gaining direct admission to university.

She learns everything incredibly fast, is frighteningly smart, and can find a solution to any problem in no time. She's a super genius, but she's also a little jealous and protective of her own. Zeng Xiaoxian's voice trailed off as she spoke.

"You mean lawyer Zhang Wei and Ms. Zhuge Dali, right? I've heard about them online for a while now. I was lucky enough to see their official announcement on Weibo. They must have a great relationship," Nuolan said enviously.

"They were more than good; they were absolutely perfect. They were inseparable. Except for some special circumstances, you would never see them appear separately. Whenever they did, they were always together," Zeng Xiaoxian recalled.

"How wonderful! I'm so envious!" Nolan was lost in her memories.

"Nuolan! Nuolan!" Zeng Xiaoxian waved his left hand in front of Nuolan's eyes.

"Excuse me, I was thinking about some things from the past. Let's go outside," Nuolan said, snapping out of her reverie.

"Okay, let's go." Zeng Xiaoxian didn't think much of it and left with his luggage.

(An hour later) Radio station.

"Nolan, long time no see! Did you have a good time abroad?" Lisa held Nolan's hand.

"It's alright. The scenery abroad is beautiful, it's quite nice, it's just that the food isn't as plentiful as in China," Nuolan said with a smile.

"Okay, as long as you have fun. By the way, I haven't had a chance to ask you yet, why did you suddenly want to switch to the midnight slot, and to Zeng Xiaoxian's show?" Lisa asked, puzzled.

"There are some private matters that I can't disclose, and I think this show is pretty good, and Xiaoxian is also a nice person." Nuolan glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Are you sure? Okay, whatever makes you happy. Zeng Xiaoxian, well, he's alright. Except for being a bit cheeky, not very good at live streaming, and not very bright."

"His character is actually pretty good, but he has a lot of minor flaws, so you'll have to be more tolerant of him." Lisa stared at Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Hi! Lisa!" Zeng Xiaoxian said with a cheeky grin when he saw Lisa looking over.

Lisa smiled helplessly and looked away.

“It’s normal for a person to have minor flaws, as long as they have good character. By the way, Lisa, when can I start work?” Nolan asked.

“Anytime is fine, as long as you have time. I’ve already had Zeng Xiaoxian prepare everything, and you can start work anytime,” Lisa said earnestly.

"Then I'd appreciate it if Lisa could help me arrange my work schedule as soon as possible," Nolan said solemnly.

"No problem, I'll arrange it for you right away. You can go home and rest for a bit. I'll send you my work schedule later." Lisa glanced at her phone.

"Okay, thank you for your help. I'll head back now. Bye-bye, Lisa!" Nolan waved goodbye.

"Bye, drive carefully. Zeng Xiaoxian, take Nuolan home, drive slowly," Lisa instructed.

"Okay, Lisa, you can leave it to me with peace of mind. I guarantee it will be delivered safely to Nuolan's home," Zeng Xiaoxian said with a sly smile.

"Thank you for your trouble, Xiaoxian," Nuolan said gently.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. We're all colleagues, so it's only right that we help each other out. We'll be going now, bye-bye Lisa." Zeng Xiaoxian said, picking up his luggage and leaving.

(One hour later) 3601.

"I'm so tired, but I'm finally done." Zeng Xiaoxian lay on the sofa like a dead dog.

"Oh dear, what's wrong with Grandpa Zeng? He looks like he's about to die." Yifei glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Stop talking, I'm never picking people up again, it's too tiring!" Zeng Xiaoxian complained.

"Who is it that has such a big reputation that it would trouble you, Director Zeng, to pick them up?" Yifei said with a smile.

“A new colleague, Lisa asked me to greet her,” Zeng Xiaoxian explained.

Zeng Xiaoxian's P.S.: Next time, I'll definitely let someone else have this kind of thing; it's too tiring.
