A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Yao curiously leaned over and asked, "Which leader was that? You haven't even officially started work yet, and they've already assigned you tasks?"

Su Fan put his phone aside and said with a smile, "The higher-ups think our previous travel live stream was pretty good and are interested in moving it to the TV station. They want us to add some other content."

Ye Yao recalled a few sentences she had overheard earlier: "So, when you said you wanted to add more food, you were talking about this?"

"Yes, that's the main direction we were discussing earlier."

Ye Yao nodded: "I think it's quite suitable. You guys are going on a journey and eating your way through the food, and everyone loves watching it. I've watched several live streams, and every time it's mealtime, the comments section is full of people asking for the restaurant names and addresses."

Su Fan smiled and said, "You think it's suitable too, right? Then it seems there's no problem with this."

Ye Yao chuckled, "I only said it was suitable. Don't take my words as a conclusion. If the show turns out bad, then come find me."

"Don't worry, I won't contact you."

As the two were talking, Ye Sicheng put down his teacup and interjected, "Which leader contacted you? From the TV station?"

Su Fan casually replied, "Director Jiang."

"Director Jiang?" Ye Sicheng went through the people he knew in his mind, somewhat puzzled. "Which TV station? I don't think I have the surname Jiang among the directors I know."

When he heard that the program was going to be moved to the TV station, he naturally took the title "Director Jiang" as a way of addressing a certain director.

Ye Wangcheng glanced at Su Fan.

Others may not know, but he had met Jiang Wenli.

He still remembers that conversation at the military region very clearly.

Connecting this to what Su Fan had just said, he already had a guess in his mind.

Ye Beichen, who was sitting next to him, also noticed his eldest son's expression.

The old man, holding his teacup, paused briefly. Before Su Fan could answer, he spoke first: "Don't ask anymore. Some things are better left uninquired about."

Ye Sicheng was taken aback and turned to look at his father: "I was just asking, what's the problem? If any TV station takes a liking to their program, I know some people, maybe I can help Xiao Fan out."

He spoke frankly, admitting he hadn't thought that much about it.

Su Fan had helped Tengfei a lot, and now that he was in trouble, as his second uncle, he couldn't just stand by and listen.

When it comes to program collaborations and broadcast arrangements, even having an acquaintance to give you a heads-up beforehand can save a lot of trouble.

Ye Beichen didn't follow up on his words. He simply put down his teacup and said, "Alright, this is none of your business. Just focus on handling Tengfei's affairs and getting Xiaoyao's project going. That'll keep you busy enough."

Ye Sicheng opened his mouth, finally realizing that something was wrong.

If it were just a regular program collaboration, there's no reason why the old man wouldn't even allow him to ask a question.

He subconsciously looked at Ye Wangcheng, only to see that his elder brother simply shook his head slightly, offering no explanation.

Ye Sicheng didn't press the matter further: "Okay, then I won't ask anymore."

Su Fan glanced at the group and smiled as he continued, "Second Uncle, I'll remember your kindness. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll definitely ask. Please don't think I'm being nosy."

Ye Sicheng also laughed and said, "It's a family matter, what's there to complain about? If you need my help, just say so."

At this point, as if remembering something, he put down his teacup and asked, "By the way, you said last time that you wanted to target Beifeng Entertainment. Should we continue with that? Tengfei was in a lot of trouble before and couldn't spare the time. Now that the situation has stabilized, he can free up the energy to handle it."

Su Fan nodded and said, "Of course we'll do it."

Ye Sicheng looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

Su Fan continued, "I remember how they targeted Han Tang Entertainment back then and what they did afterward. We didn't take action before because Tengfei's matter was more important. We couldn't be in a mess on our own side and rush into a power struggle with others."

Ye Sicheng nodded: "Now that the company has recovered, tell me, where do you plan to start?"

"Of course, we should treat them the same way they treated us back then."

After listening, Ye Sicheng understood what he meant.

He didn't press for details, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's do it that way. I'll discuss it with those other companies later, and I'll make sure this is handled perfectly for you."

Su Fan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Second Uncle."

"You were just saying we don't need to be polite when it comes to family matters, but now you're doing this. When you helped Tengfei, I wasn't this formal with you."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

……

After chatting for a while longer at the Ye family's old house, Su Fan got up to say goodbye and did not stay for dinner.

Before leaving, Zhao Ling wanted to keep him a little longer, but when she heard that he had to go back to organize the program plan, she didn't try to persuade him to stay. She just told him to remember to eat and not to forget the time when he got busy.

Back in the courtyard house, Su Fan went straight to the study.

He turned on his computer and typed a few words on a blank document.

A Bite of China.

On Earth, this is a food documentary directed by Chen Xiaoqing and produced by China Central Television.

The story revolves around the Chinese people's pursuit of food and life, using specific personal stories to connect the culinary styles of different regions.

When Jiang Wenli mentioned that he hoped to include more promotional content in the program, Su Fan immediately thought of it.

Previously, when I did travel live streams, I found that viewers were always powerless against the passion for food.

The camera focuses on a steaming bowl of noodles, and the comments section naturally becomes lively without the celebrities having to put in any effort to liven things up.

But once the meal is over, the live stream camera will follow the guests to the next stop.

The people who cook, the origins of the food, and the daily lives of the locals are often only mentioned briefly.

"A Bite of China" is a perfect way to preserve these things.

Su Fan leaned back in his chair and muttered, "Let's get the proposal done first. If this program can be made, it will not only help the upcoming live broadcasts, but it will also be very important for Han Tang Entertainment."

With that thought in mind, he sat up straight again and began typing on the keyboard.

At the beginning of the proposal, he did not rush to list famous dishes, but first wrote down the narrative structure of the program.

For every dish, you need to find the person associated with it.

Those who gather ingredients, those who tend the stove, those who pass on their skills to the next generation, and those who have been away for many years but still miss the taste of home—all can become the protagonists of the story.

What the audience sees is the process of a dish transforming from ingredients into food.

Su Fan paused for a moment after writing this.

He remembered how Aunt Liu packed his things.

Those bags of cured meat, dried vegetables, and homemade sauce, though not particularly expensive, were carried all the way from Shaanxi Province to the capital.

He thought about eating on the way home, and carefully put it away after arriving home, simply because those flavors were associated with Aunt Liu and the orphanage.

That's what makes the show so moving.
