Morning.
As soon as the sky brightened, congratulatory phone calls came in one after another.
The first was Yao Jiancai.
Yao Jiancai: "Bro, are you still sleeping?"
"Old Yao."
Yao Jiancai: "I saw your ranking change!"
"Yeah, I've finally made it to the B-list."
Yao Jiancai, "Finally? Just like how much effort you put in. You've only debuted for slightly more than a year. How many people in the entertainment industry are as smooth sailing as you? Look at me, your old brother. Including the crosstalk circle, I've been in this industry for more than 20 years. Where's my popularity? It's not even one-fifth of yours! "
Zhang Ye: "Yes, well said."
Yao Jiancai said, "… Stop talking nonsense. Come out for dinner when you're free."
Zhang Ye said, "Alright, I'll go if you treat."
Yao Jiancai: "My treat? You're so stingy! "
The second was Dong Shanshan.
Dong Shanshan: "Hello, is this Teacher Zhang? I'm salesperson 123 from an insurance company. We heard that you've been promoted to a B-list celebrity. Our company is worried that your heart isn't good and that you won't be able to handle this surprise, so we specially launched an insurance policy. It only costs 998 yuan! Only 998 yuan! "
Zhang Ye: "Man, if I hadn't looked at the caller ID, I would have hung up on you. I couldn't tell who it was when you were speaking in a choked voice."
Dong Shanshan: "Hur hur, congratulations."
Zhang Ye said, "Same here."
Dong Shanshan: "I'm not happy."
"Come on, I know that you're also very popular right now."
"Is that so?"
Zhang Ye: "After the third episode of Do You Remember was broadcast, I saw on the Internet that someone had already given you a nickname, the Otaku Goddess. You already have your own fan club, right?"
Dong Shanshan: "You can say that. The fans organized it themselves."
Zhang Ye sighed, "Hai, it's good to have long legs."
Dong Shanshan: "But I still can't compare to you. You're already a B-list big shot. We're both from the same class, but the difference is huge. I'll have to look up to you in the future."
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
The third was Tian Bin.
Tian Bin: "You are trying to defy the heavens!"
Zhang Ye laughed, "Haha."
Tian Bin: "There have been a lot of things happening at Central Radio Station these past few days. I've been busy for more than a month. I only found out about it when I saw the news this morning. My god, you're already on the B-list? What was going on? How could he be so fast? I remember that you don't have any serious work these days, right? How did his popularity increase so much? "
Zhang Ye: "Hai, after that incident at Peking University, my popularity increased by a lot. After that, I filmed a movie and helped Beijing Television with a program proposal."
Tian Bin: "I really don't know what to say."
From the other side, Tian Bin's wife's voice came, "Teacher Zhang, let me congratulate you."
Zhang Ye said, "Oh, thank you, Sister-in-law."
Then Hu Fei, skit actress Ci Xiufang, the radio station's Wang Xiaomei, Zhang Yuanqi's manager Fang Weihong, Peking University's Chinese Department's Su Na, the publishing firm's Li Mei, and even Peking University's School of Mathematical Sciences' Dean Pan all called to congratulate Zhang Ye. The only regret was that the voice that Zhang Ye wanted to hear the most did not call him. Zhang Ye could have called her, but Wu Zeqing was too busy with work and he was afraid of disturbing her rest.
He got out of bed and washed up.
The wave of phone calls made Zhang Ye no longer feel sleepy. He couldn't sleep even if he wanted to, so he got out of bed and ate the cold breakfast that his parents had left for work.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang.
Zhang Ye went to open the door in puzzlement.
Standing outside the door was a young man dressed in work attire. He was holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hands. "Hello, you must be Mr. Zhang Ye. These are your.... Ah!" That person was suddenly stunned. "You are.... You are Teacher Zhang Ye? These are your flowers. Please, please sign here to receive them. " Although there was a name written on the delivery slip, there were many people named Zhang Ye. This young man did not expect that this Zhang Ye was really Zhang Ye!
Zhang Ye signed the receipt. "Who sent this?"
The young man hurriedly said, "The delivery slip says that it's Madam Wu, but there is no name."
Zhang Ye knew who it was. "Alright, thanks."
The young man hurriedly said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. There's no need to thank me."
After closing the door, Zhang Ye looked at the flowers in his hands with a sigh. They were delivered early in the morning, so it was definitely not something that had been ordered at the last minute. His popularity ranking update was released at 12 AM last night, so if these flowers were not ordered by Wu Zeqing last night, then they must have been ordered by Old Wu in advance. Ever since Old Wu became the SARFT's deputy chief, her workload had increased drastically. Zhang Ye knew about this. Sometimes, when the two of them were on the phone, Old Wu would talk to him as she handled her work. But even though she was so busy, Old Wu was still thinking of him. This made Zhang Ye feel very touched.
Without saying anything else, he made a call.
When the call connected, Zhang Ye said: "You're up?"
"I just woke up." Old Wu's voice had a gentle smile to it.
Zhang Ye smiled and said: "I received the flowers. You too. I've never given you flowers before, so why did you have to give them to me first? That's so embarrassing. I should have given them to you first."
Old Wu smiled and said: "It's the same no matter who gives them to me. Is there a need to draw such a clear distinction between you and Big Sis?" Then he heard a lazy yawn: "Have you eaten?"
"I just finished eating the youtiao that my parents left for me."
"Is it cold or hot?"
"It's cold."
"Don't eat anything cold in the future. It's not good for your stomach."
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
"Hurry up and drink some hot water to calm yourself down."
"OK, I know."
"Go drink it first. We'll talk after you finish drinking."
"Alright then."
Old Wu was the kind of woman who could take care of others in every aspect. She was as gentle as the sea and knew how to dote on and respect others. Perhaps only a woman like her could "handle" him. Zhang Ye might not have a good temper in front of others because he was very stubborn and stubborn, but in front of Old Wu, Zhang Ye rarely had a bad temper. Unknowingly, he calmed down.
Later that morning.
After watching the news for a while, Zhang Ye decided to go out for a jog. He had not exercised for many days, and now that he had accomplished his goals ahead of time, he had also finished all the work that he needed to do. With no new jobs coming his way, all he could do was train himself, cultivate his character, and wait for good news.
In the corridor, he bumped into a few of his old neighbors.
"Little Ye, you're awake?"
"Ai, Auntie."
"You've really made us proud. I heard that you're already a B-list big shot!"
"It's all thanks to all of you. Without all of you, I wouldn't be here."
"Heh, look at our Little Ye. He really knows how to talk!"
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going for a jog to get some exercise."
"Then you have to be careful. When we went out to buy groceries, we saw a lot of reporters in and out of the neighborhood. There were at least a dozen or so of them. There was also an interview van from the television station blocking the entrance."
"That's right?"
"Hur hur, be careful not to get surrounded."
"I know, Auntie Zhou. Thank you."
