I Don't Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System Chapter 593 : Making the News Broadcast

January 3rd, 7 PM.

To celebrate the successful—well, at least smoothly concluded—ribbon-cutting ceremony, Wang Zijin prepared an exceptionally delicious and lavish dinner that evening.

The nu included Su Qi's favorite garlic prawns, Xiao Xiaoxiao's beloved cola chicken wings, and her own preferred farmhouse-style stir-fried pork.

In addition to these three main dishes, Wang Zijin prepared three vibrant vegetable dishes and a tomato egg drop soup.

The six dishes and soup, arranged on the dining table, created an unexpectedly appealing color palette that stimulated the appetite.

Since Wang Yun, Bai Miao, and An Ning had been taken ho, tonight's dinner was just for the three of them. As for why there were seven dishes for only three people, the story dates back to after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

After the shy Xiao Xiaoxiao woke up, Wang Zijin suggested taking her to a nearby market to buy dinner ingredients, hoping to help her overco her embarrassnt.

As key mbers of the Xiaoxiao Qi Jin Research Institute and both being exceptionally attractive, they naturally drew attention wherever they went.

Their beauty quickly caught the eyes of many passersby at the market. So people, finding them familiar, pulled out their phones and opened their short video apps.

Soon after, the identities of "Dr. Xiao" and "Assistant Wang" were revealed. In the two hours since the ribbon-cutting ceremony, footage had already been uploaded online.

Once their identities were known, the vegetable seller refused to take Wang Zijin's money and even stuffed extra vegetables into their plastic bag.

Wang Zijin hurriedly tried to return the vegetables, knowing that even small businesses have operating costs, and taking them would an the seller would need to sell much more to make up the loss.

This led to a scene of Wang Zijin constantly removing vegetables from the bag while the seller frantically refilled it.

As they struggled, many market-goers gathered to see what was happening. More people recognized "Dr. Xiao" and "Assistant Wang," and began imitating the vegetable seller, pressing items into Wang Zijin and Xiao Xiaoxiao's hands.

Thus, Wang Zijin and Xiao Xiaoxiao experienced their first forced "zero-yuan shopping" that afternoon.

This explains why three girls were having seven dishes for dinner. The enthusiastic uncles and aunties had simply given them too much.

As for why Su Qi wasn't cooking, it was because the three of them were still at the research institute.

The key reason they hadn't returned to Green City was that the "Dung Fork" only had two seats, and there were three of them. Unable to return to Green City, Su Qi couldn't wear her Cute Chef's Little Apron stored there.

Without the cooking buff, although Su Qi's culinary skills had improved, she decided to let her wife Zijin handle the cooking for this celebratory al. After all, better food would make for a more festive atmosphere!

After arranging the dishes on the table, Xiao Xiaoxiao, who had been hungry all afternoon, eagerly sat down, showing no trace of her earlier dejection from the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Su Qi, after serving three bowls of soup, found her little wife's excited anticipation for the al amusing. She felt the little girl had been increasingly leaning towards being a foodie lately.

Watching the little one's bright eyes fixed intently on the cola chicken wings, Su Qi thought she might need to educate her little wife further. She worried that one day, her little wife might be lured away by so bad uncle with food and end up as soone's wife in so remote mountain village.

With both her darling and junior schoolmate seated, Wang Zijin turned on the wall-mounted television.

Seeing the TV light up, Su Qi realized for the first ti that the research institute had a television.

The sight of the TV brought a sense of nostalgia to Su Qi. She used to watch TV occasionally in middle and high school, but since entering university and leaving ho, computers and phones had gradually replaced television in her life.

Now, seeing the much larger screen compared to a computer, Su Qi found it quite fascinating.

Her attention quickly shifted from the TV itself to its content. At 7 PM, Su Qi knew there was typically only one program on: the news broadcast.

However, Su Qi wondered why her wife Zijin had turned on the TV today.

Before she could ponder too long, she heard the female news anchor begin to introduce the day's news.

"The 'hardcore bridge' connecting Tai City and Xiang City in Su City has officially opened. This bridge brings the two cities closer and marks a new record in human bridge-building history."

Hearing the anchor's report and seeing the long bridge on screen, Su Qi felt a sense of pride in her country's achievents.

But before she could reflect further, Su Qi was surprised to see the news broadcast shift to a familiar location.

Xiao Xiaoxiao, who had been engrossed in her cola chicken wings, noticed Su Qi's surprised expression and curiously turned her attention to the TV. Upon seeing the image on screen, she was so startled that the chicken wing in her mouth dropped onto the table with a "plop."

At that mont, the male news anchor's voice ca through:

"At 3 AM on January 3rd, the first trial of the ancient flu virus antibody vaccine officially began. The vaccinated patients' conditions gradually improved with no adverse reactions."

"The antibody vaccine is scheduled to go on sale on January 5th."

"According to Director Su of the developnt team at Xiaoxiao Qi Jin Research Institute, the antibody vaccine will be priced at production cost."

As the anchor's steady voice continued, the screen showed footage from that day's ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Seeing this, Su Qi, Wang Zijin, and Xiao Xiaoxiao all held their breath.

They worried that if the footage of their escape was broadcast, it would be embarrassing in front of the whole country.

Fortunately, the concerning scenes didn't appear. The video only showed Su Qi answering the first question from the Lotus News reporter.

The news broadcast soon moved on to the next story.

Sitting at the dining table, Su Qi listened to the hosts introduce the next piece of news, feeling a sense of disbelief.

She never imagined that one day, she would appear on a news broadcast. It felt utterly surreal!
