New home.
A new day.
A new environment.
In the morning, the sun shone in through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows. The lighting in the new home was very good. Even with the curtains drawn, the house was still bright. All the furniture was available. Zhang Ye moved in after signing the contract last night. He laid out the bed sheets and bought a blanket. He slept all the way until dawn.
It was time to get up.
Zhang Ye squinted his eyes to enjoy the sunlight. He got up from the soft bed and washed up. When he came out of the bathroom in the living room, his cellphone rang.
"Hello, Teacher Zhang."
"Hello, who is this?"
"I'm from Weiwo company's HR department. Have you settled the matter with the plane?"
"It has been settled. Sorry for the delay. Shall I head over now?"
"Alright, then let's arrange a time. An hour from now? I'll wait for you at the company's lobby. "
"Alright, I'll definitely be there in an hour. Let's talk when we meet."
After tidying up his clothes and combing his hair, Zhang Ye looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction. Only then did he pick up his bag and head out. He hailed a taxi and headed in that direction. It was very close, and with some traffic jams, he arrived in 20 minutes.
… …
Weiwo company.
It was not on the main street, but behind a commercial building.
The building was not tall. It was about four or five stories tall, but it was very large and took up a lot of space.
After alighting from the taxi, he saw the company's headquarters. Zhang Ye had a general idea of the company's strength. It was probably not bad. It was definitely not comparable to those internet giants, but compared to similar video and television websites, it was definitely one of the best. It had a lot of capital.
Lobby.
Zhang Ye went in to take a look. He did not see anyone, so he went to the front desk to ask.
However, someone in the resting area recognized him. He walked over with a smile and extended his hand. It was a youth in his twenties. He was about the same age as Zhang Ye. He looked average, "You must be Teacher Zhang? Hur Hur, we've talked on the phone before. Hello, welcome, welcome. "
Zhang Ye shook hands with him, "Hello."
"Let's go upstairs. I'll bring you around." The youth said.
"Alright, sorry for the trouble." Zhang Ye followed him.
On the way, the youth gave him a general introduction of the company's various departments. Finally, he brought Zhang Ye to a leader's office upstairs.
He knocked on the door.
Someone inside said, "Come in." It was a woman's voice.
After the youth went in, he introduced, "Director Feng, this is Teacher Zhang Ye. I've brought him here." He turned to Zhang Ye and said, "This is the company's Vice President and also the WebTV department's Director."
Feng Guiqin stretched out her hand, "I've been waiting for you for several days. Hello, Little Zhang."
Zhang Ye quickly walked up and shook her hands, "Hello, Director Feng. I'm new here and this is also my first time interacting with WebTV. Please take care of me in the future." He knew that this woman would be his immediate superior in the future, the head of the WebTV department. She would have the final say in everything, big or small.
Feng Guiqin looked to be in her forties. She was not very pretty, but she was rather easygoing. She looked like an ordinary mother in the neighborhood. "Little Sun, go to the legal department and get Little Zhang's contract."
The young man accepted the order and left.
Feng Guiqin gestured with her hand. "Sit."
Zhang Ye did not stand on ceremony. After sitting down, he took out a resume. "This is my resume."
Feng Guiqin smiled and said, "There's no need to look at it. Since the company invited you, we already know your qualifications and achievements. The newly recruited web hosts and program planners were personally reviewed by President Wei and a few of our company's executives. We have also watched your program, so we are not unfamiliar with you. On the contrary, you might not know much about our company, so let me give you a brief introduction. Our company was one of the first batch to obtain the WebTV authorization certificate. In recent years, the WebTV industry has been developing very quickly. There are already many video websites that have obtained the authorization. Even some television station's websites and cable TV service providers are fighting for this slice of the pie. The competition is very intense, and it's getting more and more intense … "
Zhang Ye listened carefully.
"WebTV started late, so this industry is still very young. However, it has a lot of potential for development. Although it looks like it's a combination of some original video format entertainment programs, it's actually not that simple. There's a conceptual difference between an individual program and a whole program. The integration of resources is not as simple as one plus one equals two in theory. Sometimes, it's even equal to three. Furthermore, there's also the subsidies and preferential policies given by the country …" Feng Guiqin was a very good lecturer. She introduced the WebTV industry very clearly.
Zhang Ye was still listening very seriously. Of course, he only wanted to understand a little. He did not care about the general direction, nor could he care about it. This industry was very complicated, and how competitive it was. Zhang Ye did not care. The source of his struggle was not for this industry. He did not even care if he could drive the company's overall WebTV clicks. All he wanted to do was to do his own program well and make it popular. That was enough. Zhang Ye was not a person of this world. His thoughts were still stuck on the online entertainment model of his world. That was the field he was most familiar with. Although Feng Guiqin said that WebTV was different from the individual video format of the past, to Zhang Ye, it was actually the same.
Give him a fixed time slot. Zhang Ye would do the program, publish it, and attract the audience.
It was nothing complicated. It was actually that simple. It was the same principle as online video serialization or television program broadcasting.
The contract arrived.
"Take a look first." Feng Guiqin said.
Zhang Ye flipped through it. There were no problems. It was a regular contract.
Feng Guiqin smiled and said, "Our salary requirements are all set by the employees themselves. This is the basic salary. Bonuses and other subsidies are all unified."
Zhang Ye blinked, "You really want to set it yourself?"
When Victoria called to invite him, she had indeed said the same thing.
But Zhang Ye understood that even though she said he could say whatever he wanted, there must be a reason behind it. You just asked for a salary of 100,000 a month? It would be a wonder if she didn't kick you out of the window, so Zhang Ye did not ask for an exorbitant price, "My ideal salary is about … 20,000 a month?"
Feng Guiqin thought for a moment and nodded, "Sure."
Zhang Ye was not considered famous in the hosting industry. He was just a host of a local channel's celebrity program. It was not good for him to ask for too much.
After discussing it, Zhang Ye began to sign the contract.
Feng Guiqin said, "You should first adapt to the environment and familiarize yourself with the work. Sharpening the knife will not delay the work of chopping wood. Once you are familiar with it, you can start the program. Our WebTV programs are more flexible. You can plan it yourself, or you can discuss it with the department's professional program planners. Of course, you can do whatever you want, but the program has to be reviewed by a few Leaders.
Zhang Ye signed it, "Sure."
"Alright, then welcome aboard." Feng Guiqin said, "You can start working today. Just report directly to the WebTV department." She made a phone call and got someone to bring Zhang Ye over.
The person who came was called Wang Xiong. He was a middle-aged man and one of the Deputy Directors of the WebTV department. He was also a Leader. He seemed to be very interested in Zhang Ye. The moment he came over, he sized him up. He definitely knew about the hijacking news and was probably curious to see what Zhang Ye had. However, from Zhang Ye's looks, figure, and temperament, he gave off a very ordinary feeling. Other than the brilliance in his eyes and the magnetism and charm of his voice, everything else about him was too ordinary. It felt like anyone on the streets would be better than him.
"Director Wang." Zhang Ye said politely.
Wang Xiong patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, let's go." The two of them went downstairs. He said, "WebTV's office is on the same floor. The recording studio is also on the same floor. It is the largest department in our company. Each program team is relatively independent, but if there's anything, you can look for me. My office is also on the same floor as yours."
At the corner of the stairs.
On both sides of a narrow corridor, there were transparent glass partitions. Then, there were densely packed desks. At a rough glance, there were about 140-150 people in this department. At the outermost area was a customer service area. More than ten operators were busy. There were more than ten areas inside. There were many signs hanging from the ceiling, with the program's name on them. Clearly, these were the office areas of each program team. Other than a few Leaders' offices and meeting rooms, there were almost no enclosed areas in the office. The desks were all connected, so it was easy to see.
The environment was not bad!
The scale was not worse than a television station!
Zhang Ye observed silently as he followed Wang Xiong inside.
Clap Clap. Wang Xiong clapped his hands, "Everyone, stop for half a minute. Let me introduce a new colleague to you." He held Zhang Ye's shoulders, "Zhang Ye, formerly a famous host of Beijing Arts Channel. From today onwards, he will be a member of our WebTV department. Everyone, let's give him a round of applause?"
Everyone applauded, but it was not loud.
"Famous host?"
"You dare call him famous? Is the viewership very high? "
"Eh, why does the name Zhang Ye sound so familiar?"
"Holy sh * t! I remember now! Beijing Arts Channel's host? Zhang Ye? Isn't that the anti-hijacking hero on the news? The one who flew the plane! "
"Ah? It's really him? "
"What the f * * k! Why is he here? "
"He doesn't look like it. How can someone who looks so ordinary be a host?"
With a few people talking, everyone knew who this person was. They began to murmur!
In the past two days, they had heard of this name more than once on the news and on the internet. In other units, it might not have garnered so much attention, but Zhang Ye was a former television host. He was considered in the same line of work as them. For someone in the same line of work to land such a large passenger plane in such a coquettish manner, it naturally attracted heated discussion. They were also very curious about this person, Zhang Ye.
But with a glance, many people were very disappointed.
Wang Xiong ignored him and pointed to the innermost area, "Little Zhang, that's your desk. There are still a few empty seats. Feel free to choose."
"Alright." Zhang Ye took the items and went over.
Wang Xiong did not say much. After asking an old employee about the situation of today's program, he left the office and returned to his own office.
Everyone was still looking in Zhang Ye's direction.
The legendary Zhang Ye?
The legendary godly person?
Wasn't this too ordinary?
