The next day.
At the new unit.
Zhang Ye came to work early in the morning. After entering the office, he took a broom and began cleaning. He was very diligent.
It was different from when he first entered the radio station. The colleagues here were very respectful to him. Of course, this was also the reputation and prestige that Zhang Ye had worked hard for. However, others were polite to him, but that was their politeness. He could not treat himself as someone important, or else it would be difficult to maintain the relationship as colleagues. After all, he was a newcomer and was considered the youngest here. Hence, it was only right for him to do more work. There was no harm in it. This was a part of cultivating one's character. It was an essential and valuable tempering process on the road to success.
He finished his work.
Zhang Ye checked the total Reputation points recorded in his ring. It was as he had guessed yesterday. His total Reputation points were already more than 700,000, just short of 800,000.
+23！
+11！
+9！
His Reputation points were still rising, but at a slower rate. It had already surpassed yesterday's peak.
After waiting for a long time, his total Reputation points had reached 800,000. Zhang Ye could not help but feel an itch. He could not help but want to draw at the Lottery. Since he was saving it, he might as well spend it all. Anyway, the Reputation points came quickly this time. It was an unexpected gain from his "side income", so he did not feel the pinch. Besides, Zhang Ye only had two pieces of "Lucky Bread" left from the Lottery draw in his inventory. Of course, he wanted to store more items. Who knows, it might come in handy when he needed it. It was better than the last time when he was caught blindly. At least, he had another safeguard and an additional trump card. This was all for Zhang Ye's smooth path to stardom. He naturally would not neglect it and put in a lot of effort.
He clicked on the Lottery!
After spending 100,000 as usual, the needle began to draw!
Zhang Ye did not plan on raising stakes this time, as he wanted to draw a few more times and get a few more items. He also wanted to try his luck to see if he could get a Special Category Treasure Chest. Of course, that was what he had originally planned. But when the needle gradually slowed down and was about to stop, Zhang Ye realized that the needle was now in the "Skills Category" area. Furthermore, it had just entered the "Skills Category" area. The rest of the area was also the same. Although the needle spun at a different speed every time, Zhang Ye was 90% sure that the needle would end up here!
Skills?
He had never drawn this category before!
Zhang Ye immediately changed his mind. He immediately clicked on the two words "Additional Stakes" at the bottom right corner. Since it was rare for him to get it, he might as well go all out.
Seven additional stakes!
He had given all his Reputation points to it!
The reason why he did not reserve 100,000 Reputation points for the "Memory Search Pouch" was because the public service advertisement would continue to be replayed. The internet would continue to discuss it for a day or two. Even if it did not increase his Reputation by much, it was not a problem to increase it by 100,000 a day. Furthermore, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was selling well in the bookstore. Every book sold would increase his Reputation by one. Hence, he went all out!
There was another reason for doing this. The game introduction had explained a lot. Zhang Ye knew that many of the "Skills Category" and "Stats Category" items could be stacked. For example, the Fruit of Growth and the Fruit of Charm could be used without limit. Eating one would increase it. It was the same for the Skills Category. If it was just a Skill Experience Book, the effect would be negligible. From the Fruit of Charm, it could be seen that the effect was very small. Eating one would not be obvious. This was also the reason why Zhang Ye went all out. Only with a large number could the effect be seen. If not, he might as well not use it at all.
The needle stopped!
Without much suspense, it landed in the Skills Category area!
Eight Treasure Chests (Small) came out and were automatically stored in his inventory. Zhang Ye took them out one by one and placed them on his computer table. The Treasure Chests were not big. After all, they were of a small size. However, it was a little crowded on the table.
Open it!
Zhang Ye opened them all at once!
It was a very simple book. It looked a little old. It was neither thin nor thick.
[Calligraphy Skill Experience Book] 7
Item Description: Effective upon reading. Increases player's Calligraphy skill experience. Can be stacked.
This was the first time Zhang Ye had opened such an item. He did not have much experience with it. Effective upon reading? He even had to read the entire book? Zhang Ye tried to flip open an Experience Book. Only then did he realize that he was overthinking it. The moment he flipped open the book, there was a flash of white light. The Experience Book turned into specks that floated in the air. Then, they all surged into Zhang Ye's head. It made his mind a mess. It was as if something had appeared, but he could not say what it was. Just flipping through it once was enough? Just like the Experience Books in games? This was rather convenient!
Calligraphy?
Did he have to write calligraphy with a brush?
That shouldn't be the case. Writing with a ballpoint pen and fountain pen should also be considered a type of calligraphy!
Zhang Ye tried it out. Ever since he was in school, his handwriting had not been very good. Alright, it was very average. He was a male, so it was not surprising that his handwriting was good. But when Zhang Ye put his pen to the back of a planning document, the words he wrote made Zhang Ye slightly stunned. He swore that he was still writing in his original style. He did not feel any changes, but the moment he put his pen to paper, his brain seemed to have a particularly familiar memory. As he wrote, it automatically made adjustments for Zhang Ye!
The handwriting looked better!
It really looked better. At least it was not that messy. There was a lot more order to it!
Even though it was just a tiny improvement, Zhang Ye was very happy. This meant that the "Calligraphy Skill Experience Book" was very effective. He did not waste any time and flipped through the rest of the Experience Books.
One book …
Three books …
Five books …
After eating this Skill Experience Book, Zhang Ye wanted to try out his new handwriting, but his colleagues came. He looked up and did not continue experimenting.
"Teacher Zhang." Dafei came.
Xiao Lu followed closely behind, "Yo, Teacher Zhang, you're early?"
"Good morning." Zhang Ye also greeted them.
Xiao Lu gave a thumbs up, "I saw your public service advertisement. It was awesome, too awesome. I swear that I have never seen such a good public service advertisement!"
Dafei's evaluation was even higher, "This advertisement … is godly!"
Hou Ge and Hou Di also came at this moment. When they saw Zhang Ye, Hou Ge was very excited, "Teacher Little Zhang, can you not be so awesome? Yesterday, Brother Hu said that your creativity was very good. I didn't know what was going on and was still skeptical. But when I saw the advertisement tonight, my brother and I were dumbfounded. "
Hou Di added, "It wasn't an exaggeration. We were really dumbfounded!"
"This advertisement is the kind that I will never get tired of watching! I even watched it again when it was rebroadcast. The more I watched it, the better it looked. The more I thought about it, the more interesting it became! "Hou Ge exclaimed.
Not long after, Hu Fei entered the office, "Yo, everyone is here?"
Xiao Lu grinned, "Brother Hu, we were just discussing Teacher Zhang's creativity in the advertisement. It was so interesting!"
Hu Fei smiled and looked at Zhang Ye, "You saw it yesterday, right? I knew that the advertisement was very good, but I did not expect it to cause such a stir and response. Do you know? Little Zhang has created a miracle. When the public service advertisement was rebroadcast for the second time, the electricity conservation public service advertisement's viewership ratings had exceeded the viewership ratings of the two official programs before and after. Haha! "
Hou Ge said in shock, "What?"
Hou Di was also amazed, "The advertisement's viewership ratings are higher than the official program's?"
"It was because the response was very good when it was first broadcast. So when everyone saw that it was time for the advertisement after the program ended, they waited for it. That resulted in this miracle." Hu Fei said with a sigh, "Now, this advertisement has become very popular. Not only did the audience's feedback was very good, they all said that it was new and creative. Many people even said that after watching the advertisement, they would definitely be 'gone with the wind'. Hur Hur. At the SARFT, it has also received high praise and recognition from a few of the upper echelons. Little Zhang, I just met Director Wang Shuixin on the way upstairs. He praised you by name. Your bonus this month will definitely not be low. You can see for yourself when the time comes."
Zhang Ye said modestly, "I just got lucky."
Hu Fei waved his hands, "There's no point in being too humble. This isn't luck. Why don't I have such luck? Why don't other professionals who have been in the advertising industry for so many years have such luck? This is your ability! " Upon saying this, Hu Fei's expression suddenly turned strange. It was also somewhat funny. He said to Zhang Ye, "There's still something fun."
Zhang Ye blinked, "What is it?"
Hu Fei said happily, "After you were hired, wasn't your resume already posted on the television station's official website? There were two calls last night and one call this morning. All of them wanted you to join their company or the advertising department of the television station. One of them even has some ties with me. Hur Hur, he offered an annual salary of 500,000 yuan to poach you and even tried his best to persuade me to let you go. That's the annual salary of a mid-to-high level leader in their company. Just tell me how much they value you. "
Zhang Ye hurriedly expressed his stance, "Brother Hu, I'm not going."
Xiao Lu and Dafei were also worried. They hoped that Teacher Zhang would not be poached away. After a day or two, their relationship had become more and more harmonious.
"Haha, I was waiting for you to say that." Hu Fei pointed at Zhang Ye and laughed, "Even if you want to go, I won't agree. I spent so much effort to poach you over. Who dares to snatch you from me, Old Hu? I'll be the first to disagree! Not a chance! "
Only then did Zhang Ye feel relieved, "Don't worry. Even if they offered me an annual salary of 5 million, I would definitely not leave, much less a 500,000!"
Xiao Lu giggled, "That's right. Teacher Zhang's car is an X5 bulletproof car worth more than 5 million. How can he be short of their annual salary of a few hundred thousand?"
Hou Ge laughed, "That's right. How could Teacher Little Zhang be interested in that bit of money? They really dared to bid."
Hu Fei was stunned, "Bulletproof car? That BMW bulletproof car? Someone really bought that car? I thought they couldn't even sell a single one! "
Xiao Lu said, "Brother Hu, you might not know, but when we were eating, a flower pot fell from the fifth floor and smashed into us. We were dumbfounded, but Teacher Zhang calmly cleaned up the flower pot fragments. Guess what happened? The paint on the car was not even chipped off! It was in perfect condition! This car is too awesome! "
Hu Fei said, "Is that so? Then I'll have to try driving it next time. I probably won't be able to earn that much money in my entire life. I'll be able to bask in Teacher Little Zhang's glory. Hur Hur, but Little Zhang really doesn't care about that bit of money, so I'm not worried about them poaching him. Teacher Little Zhang can casually write 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' and earn a few million in royalties, right? If he really wanted to earn money, he would have written poems. Why would he need to go through the trouble of advertising? "
Xiao Lu asked curiously, "Teacher Zhang, then why are you doing this now?"
Hou Ge was also quite concerned, "That's right. You don't lack money, so why did you come to the television station? The salary here is very low. As a host, it might be a little more, but it can't reach 20,000, right? "
Zhang Ye thought for a moment and said seriously, "I'm doing this for the broadcasting and development of culture. For the country's education, I want to contribute my strength. Ethnic peace and social harmony are all areas that I want to research on. Only in the television station can I fully realize my ideals …"
Hu Fei rolled his eyes, "Speak Mandarin!"
Zhang Ye said helplessly, "Alright, this place can be famous!"
Xiao Lu burst out laughing, "Hahaha!"
Hou Ge and Hou Di were also amused!
In their line of work, if it wasn't for fame, then it was for profit. They were all the latter, working hard to make a living. However, Teacher Zhang Ye was clearly on a higher level. He was pursuing the former!
Was it embarrassing?
What was there to be embarrassed about!?
Everyone has desires. It's just that many people use it as a derogatory term. Actually, it's a bit funny. Desire can be changed into a commendatory term — motivation!
This is the motivation and source of success!
