The next day.
The outside world was still in an uproar.
At this moment, the International Celebrity Rankings Index was suddenly updated.
On the Web.
"The Celebrity Rankings Index has been updated!"
"Are there any changes?"
"There are!"
"Wow, the French celebrity is very strong!"
"But the mainstream is still the American celebrity."
"Another American celebrity has moved up a spot!"
"There's another newcomer this time."
"The competition is really intense."
"Where's the Chinese celebrity?"
"Ah, the Chinese celebrity has moved up too!"
"What?"
On the latest rankings index, the rankings of many international celebrities had changed once again. A B-list celebrity's popularity ranking had been lowered to the C-list. The top C-list celebrity had moved up to the B-list, and the two international A-list celebrities had swapped places. Moreover, a lot of people around the world also noticed that the only Chinese celebrity on the rankings index who had caused such a stir over the past few days had also moved up!
International C-list:
Zhang Ye (China).
C-list ranking: 59th place!
His previous international ranking was 67th place on the C-list. After this incident, he had suddenly moved up by eight rankings. There were only a total of 100 C-list celebrities in the world, so a ranking in the 50s meant that Zhang Ye had truly entered the middle ranks of the international C-list rankings. His popularity had increased tremendously! As a matter of fact, the international rankings index was similar to the domestic rankings index. The higher a celebrity's ranking was, the more popularity was required to move up. It was almost an exponential increase in popularity. It could be seen that the rise in China's military ranking and Zhang Ye's soul-stirring tactics had a great impact on his international popularity and reputation.
Many netizens around the world were amazed.
"Amazing!"
"The Chinese celebrity has really stabilized his footing!"
"Bragging can even increase one's popularity?"
"Who was the one who said that Chinese celebrities wouldn't be able to go far on the international rankings index?"
"He's already in the middle of the C-list rankings!"
"It was the Indian guy who said that."
"He's really a dark horse."
"With just his mouth, he was able to push China from the third place in the world's military to the second place in the world's military. His popularity is well deserved."
"He's a celebrity who doesn't walk the usual path."
"Awesome, my China bro! I'm proud of you! "
The Japanese guy rolled his eyes.
The Indian guy cursed.
The Americans were speechless.
The Chinese guy teased him.
Only the Brazilian guy showed his support.
…
In China.
Noon.
Zhang Ye's house.
"I'm just a smile."
"I'm just a smile."
Zhang Ye was humming in the room.
Ring, ring, ring. The phone kept ringing.
Zhang Ye couldn't free his hands and was in the kitchen cutting vegetables for dinner. He said to Sisi, "Baby, answer Daddy's call. Tell him I'm busy."
Sisi clumsily picked up her phone.
"Hey, Zhang 'er, congratulations."
"Hello?"
"Eh? Is it Sisi? "
"Yes."
"Where's your father?"
"Dad is cooking for Mom."
"Haha, your dad is such a good husband. I'm Auntie Shanshan. Tell your dad that all of us classmates are congratulating him. His international popularity has risen again."
"Alright, Auntie Shanshan."
"Come to Auntie's house when you have time. Have you worn the clothes I bought for you last time?"
"Yes, Mom said it looks good."
Zhang Ye heard some of it and smiled at his daughter from afar, "Thank you, Auntie Shanshan. Tell her not to buy so many clothes in the future. If she really wants to, just pay up."
Sisi immediately said in a childish voice, "Thank you, Auntie Shanshan."
On the other end of the line, Dong Shanshan also smiled. Clearly, she had heard what Zhang Ye said. "You're welcome. Tell your dad to stand aside!"
The call ended.
Sisi went to report to her father. "Auntie Shanshan wants to congratulate Daddy."
Zhang Ye knew that it was most likely a congratulatory call. He had just seen the update to the International Celebrity Rankings Index. This was something he had been waiting for today. His international popularity had risen again, and this was something that Zhang Ye had not expected. He was very happy at this moment and was even humming a tune when he was cooking.
He had been on the show for the past few days again.
He had brought up the position of director again.
Wasn't it all for this bit of international popularity?
Previously, some people had doubted that Zhang Ye's first job after stepping onto the international stage was a little too hasty. But now, no one said that. This was because everyone knew that Zhang Ye's first job was too good. Moreover, this was a path that only Zhang Ye could take. No one else could imitate him. How could they imitate him? Getting the international superstar, Lillian, to go on stage and brag? No one would be able to accept any international celebrity doing this, except for Zhang Ye. Everyone could accept this guy who had tripped an Indian man on the live broadcast of the Nobel Prize award ceremony and even shamelessly called for world peace to brag. From a certain perspective, this was also Zhang Ye's unique "demeanor." This sort of demeanor could not be found in any other international celebrity.
Dinner was ready.
The thermos was filled.
"Sisi, let's go. Bring some food to Mommy."
"OK!"
The father-daughter pair drove straight to the Central Publicity Department.
…
At Old Wu's office.
When Zhang Ye entered the compound, it blew up.
Quite a few people from the Central Publicity Department surrounded him in surprise.
"Aiyo, isn't that Teacher Zhang?"
"What's Teacher Zhang doing here?"
"Bringing food to Minister Wu?"
"Aiya, Sisi has grown taller. She's getting prettier!"
"Fellow Zhang, congratulations. Your international popularity has risen again."
"You've really boosted the morale of us Chinese people!"
Zhang Ye also chatted with everyone with a smile.
At this moment, Wu Zeqing and another deputy minister were chatting as they walked out of the office building. From the looks of it, they were headed for the cafeteria. It was almost lunchtime.
The deputy minister immediately spotted Zhang Ye and said with a smile, "Your husband is here."
Wu Zeqing smiled. "Why are you here?"
Zhang Ye said, "To bring food to you. I just made it."
"Mommy, Mommy." Sisi ran over excitedly.
Wu Zeqing hugged her dotingly. "Why are you so obedient? Did you bring food to Mommy? "
Sisi nodded heavily. "Daddy said that the food in Mommy's cafeteria doesn't taste good."
The deputy minister next to her laughed and said, "You don't think so? It's pretty good, isn't it? "
Zhang Ye said, "Minister He, it's not that I'm criticizing you guys, but this is such a big organization. Can't you change up the cafeteria a little? It's the same few dishes every day, and they're not easy to digest. My wife's stomach hasn't been feeling well for the past few days. She gets a stomachache every night because she's been eating here. "
Deputy Minister He did not get angry. She smiled and said, "Alright, I'll speak to the cafeteria in a while. We'll change the menu tomorrow. We'll definitely make sure that Minister Wu has a good meal."
When an employee next to them heard this, he smiled and said, "I'll go and speak to them right now."
Zhang Ye instructed, "Get them to add more varieties of green vegetables."
That employee said, "Alright."
Everyone laughed.
Looking at the entire country, Zhang Ye was probably the only person who dared to speak to the Central Publicity Department in such a manner. This was because Zhang Ye was not only a family member of a leader. He was also China's first Nobel Prize laureate and a Research Fellow of the Two Academies who had won the Highest Science and Technology Award. Although he did not know how to give orders to others, if he were to step on their food and ask the cafeteria to change up the menu, everyone would definitely give him face.
