The sky was not dark yet.
The setting sun dyed the sky red.
After Zhang Ye scolded Li Tao and the few people from the SARFT, he did not stay any longer. He strolled out of the venue. He actually did not have much prejudice against the SARFT. He knew that the shady dealings were carried out by Li Tao and a few people with ulterior motives. His target was very clear.
At the door.
A few hosts were waiting there.
Teacher Zhou Hao nodded at him, "Teacher Zhang, it's been hard on you!"
"Teacher Zhang." Teacher Chen looked at him sadly and gave him a thumbs up, "You're doing this!"
The female host who had cried also looked deeply at Zhang Ye, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang Ye. Thank you for speaking up for us and for everyone!"
Zhang Ye waved his hands, "I'm not doing it for everyone. I'm doing it for myself. It has nothing to do with anyone else." After saying that, Zhang Ye did not seem to care about the rules and did not speak to them anymore. He left them behind and left. He did not even wait for the Leader, Wang Xiong, and left the venue alone.
The female host was stunned, "What is he doing?"
Teacher Chen looked at Zhang Ye's departing back and could not help but feel a sense of respect. He sighed, "Teacher Little Zhang does not want to implicate us. He wants to be responsible for what he has done. He wants to take responsibility for this trouble alone. Anyway, he has already offended those he should have offended, so he does not want to implicate others. And if this live broadcast reaches the SARFT, and if there is a 1% chance that the higher-ups will investigate and find out about the program's censorship, then our program might have a chance of making a comeback. Hence, for this chance, Zhang Ye is deliberately avoiding us to draw a clear line. He will shoulder the blame and leave the opportunity to us! And look, Teacher Zhang did not even wait for his company's Leader and left alone. This is because he does not want to implicate Weiwo company! "
So that's why!
So that's what Zhang Ye was thinking!
The female host was stunned and said, "If, if, if it really alarms the higher-ups to investigate, then would Zhang Ye's program have a chance of being rebroadcast?"
Teacher Chen said, "It's possible for us, but for him … the chances are too slim."
Zhou Hao also said, "As long as Li Tao is still around, Teacher Zhang Ye will not be able to make a comeback. Although he was targeting Li Tao, he had slapped the SARFT in the face and messed up a live broadcast. Would the higher-ups not have anything against Zhang Ye? Even if someone's program is rebroadcast, it is unlikely it will be his. "
Another host sighed and said, "We have to accept this favor!"
"Yeah." Teacher Chen said, "Regardless of the outcome, as long as our program has a turnaround, we still owe Teacher Zhang Ye a thank you."
…
Outside the door.
Zhang Ye walked out of the Shanghai SARFT building. His cellphone had been set to vibrate in his pocket. He did not know how long it had been ringing or how many calls he had received. When he took it out, there were more than a dozen missed calls. One of them was from his parents' house, so Zhang Ye called back.
"Son!" As soon as the call went through, his mother shouted!
Zhang Ye chuckled as he held the phone further away, "Mom, can you lower your voice? My eardrums are about to burst from your shouting. Why are you looking for me?"
His mother said angrily, "What are you talking about! You have only been in Shanghai for a few days! The show had only aired a few episodes! Why did you cause such a big commotion again? If your eldest sister and second sister didn't call me, I wouldn't even know! You … you scolded the Shanghai SARFT's Leader? You don't want to work anymore? Now that the SARFT and the General Administration of Press and Publication have merged, any industry that you can do will have to listen to the SARFT's instructions! You darn kid, you are pissing me off! Even if you scolded, you should have scolded them secretly. Why did you scold them live!? "
Listening to his mother's nagging criticism, Zhang Ye did not think much of it.
He said, "Mom, I've already scolded them, so don't bother about it. Tell Dad not to worry. At most, I'll go overseas to develop my career. At most, I'll quit the entertainment industry and become a teacher in a university. I'll teach students about history and literature. I won't starve to death."
His mother grunted, "How can a teacher be as glamorous as a celebrity?"
On the other side, his father's voice faintly sounded, "If you really can't carry on, then let Little Ye come back. He doesn't need to be bullied by them!"
His mother passed the message, "Your dad wants you to come back."
"I heard that." Zhang Ye smiled, "Alright, I'll take a look in a few days."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye saw that there were too many missed calls. Furthermore, there were constantly calls from his friends. He really did not want to answer them. He knew that everyone had good intentions and were concerned about him, but he did not know what to say. Hence, he switched off his cellphone and looked at the time. Seeing that there were reporters chasing after him, Zhang Ye quickly hailed a taxi by the roadside.
"Where to?"
"Please go to Weiwo company."
"Alright."
The taxi driver drove off.
… …
The unit.
At this time, many people had already knocked off.
However, the people from the WebTV department did not leave. Because of the live broadcast of the press conference, most of them stayed behind to watch. They watched until now.
There was some noise in the office.
"Teacher Zhang won't be able to clean up this mess!"
"Aiyah, how did it end up like this!?"
"That Li Tao was biased to begin with. Now that things have turned out this way, it would be a wonder if he would let Teacher Zhang off. Teacher Zhang is too bold!"
"How is it just bold? He's audacious to the extreme! "
Originally, they thought that Zhang Ye's poem, "The Answer", was already earth-shattering enough. Who knew that something even more earth-shattering was yet to come. Such an awesome poem was not finished. There was still an even more shocking "The Last Speech". Each wave was more ruthless than the last! Each wave was more "unrestrained" than the last! The live broadcast camera could vaguely see the ashen-faced expressions of the SARFT civil servants. It was enough to tell what kind of atmosphere the venue was like! It was enough to tell how much Li Tao and company hated Teacher Zhang Ye! This was a fight to the death!
They had already been shocked by Zhang Ye's guts. They had already been convinced by Zhang Ye's literary talent. In the past, they had only heard that Teacher Zhang Ye was a great scholar in Beijing. He had written many great works. Even some of the industry's old seniors in the literary and poetry circles had been smacked in the face by Zhang Ye's works. However, they had never seen it with their own eyes. They had only seen some of Zhang Ye's works, but they could not understand the atmosphere and mood at that time. But today, they had really seen it with their own eyes for the first time. They had also witnessed Zhang Ye's talent with their own eyes. All of them were convinced!
Zhang Han noticed that Feng Guiqin had not said a word, so she hurriedly asked, "Director Feng, does this mean that Teacher Zhang Ye can no longer do any programs? Disqualify him from being a broadcasting host? Does Li Tao have the right to do so? "
Feng Guiqin slowly said, "It's not just a matter of disqualifying him from being a broadcasting host. With Little Zhang's anger, he might not even be able to stay in the entertainment industry!"
"How can that be!?"
"Hai, what a pity!"
"Teacher Zhang's talent is too outstanding!"
"If Zhang Ye were to be frozen like this, then …"
Many people were silent. Actually, even if Feng Guiqin did not say it, they already had an answer in their hearts.
Suddenly, someone looked towards the door in shock.
"Zhang Ye!"
"Teacher Zhang!"
"Holy sh * t! You're back? "
Everyone looked over and saw Zhang Ye appear outside the door. He was strolling in leisurely. Looking at his footsteps and his expression, he did not seem to have any self-awareness that he had just caused such a big mess. It was as if he had just gone out for a meal and then came back in a carefree manner.
Feng Guiqin's face flashed with anger, "Little Zhang, get over here!"
"Director Feng." Zhang Ye smiled and walked over, "I'm sorry, but I have to bid farewell to the entertainment industry. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future."
Feng Guiqin said with a sullen face, "You still know how to be sorry? How can you speak like that!? That was a live broadcast! So many pairs of eyes were watching! "
A WebTV's middle management Leader also said beside Feng Guiqin, "Little Zhang, you were too rash!"
"I know, but if I was given another chance, I would still say the same thing. If I don't scold them, I won't be able to vent my anger!" Zhang Ye stubbornly said, "Leader, I understand the consequences of this matter. I was already prepared for it. I will bear all the consequences. I am here now … to resign!"
"What?"
"Why are you resigning?"
"Even if you can't do broadcasting, you can still do other things!"
"That's right, your program planning is so good, there's no need to resign!"
The WebTV colleagues all tried to persuade him. In the past, they might have had some misunderstandings about Zhang Ye. They always felt that he was not easy to get along with and had a bad temper, but after watching the live broadcast today, they no longer had any prejudice against Zhang Ye. A person who dared to say and do what he wanted was very trustworthy. This was because you would never have to worry about the other party stabbing you in the back!
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Thank you, everyone. I have already decided."
Dong Shanshan looked at him and did not say a word.
Feng Guiqin flatly said, "I don't agree!"
"Even if you don't agree, I still have to resign." Zhang Ye firmly took out a resignation report, "I've already written it on the way here in the taxi."
Feng Guiqin's heart was clear, "You don't want to implicate the company?"
Zhang Ye said, "No, I just don't want to work anymore. I also want to rest for a while."
However, Zhang Ye's words were clearly not believed by anyone. Anyone with a brain would know that Zhang Ye's decision to resign was because he was afraid that he would implicate Weiwo Video due to offending Li Tao in a live broadcast, as well as other people and other programs. Hence, the moment he left the SARFT, he immediately returned to the company to resign. He wanted to draw a clear line between himself and the company. He did not want the company to be targeted and suppressed by Li Tao because of his matter. This was Zhang Ye. He was a bastard and a hooligan, but when it was time to be particular, he would always be particular!
Zhang Ye placed the resignation letter on the table, "Whether you agree or not, I will be resigning today. Thank you for your trust all this while." Then he said to his colleagues, "Thank you, everyone, for taking care of me all this while." Saying that, he waved, "I'm leaving. Until we meet again!"
