Later that afternoon.
Zhang Ye was waiting for Chenchen to finish school at Nanxinhua Street.
On the Internet, a photo of Zhang Ye and Jiang Yuan was leaked. It was a photo of Zhang Ye and Jiang Yuan shaking hands at the coffee shop in the morning. Suddenly, the news spread.
Several media outlets reported on it.
"Central TV Department 1's deputy director secretly meeting with Zhang Ye?"
"Zhang Ye joining Central TV?"
"Breaking news! Central TV Department 1 makes a ruthless move, joining forces with Zhang Ye! "
"Central TV's' big move ', Zhang Ye joining?"
Central TV, the big boss of the television stations, had a traditional style of doing things.
Zhang Ye, the oddball of the entertainment industry, had a style of never playing by the rules.
This style of working together, with one foot in the sky and one foot on the ground, was something that many people found hard to imagine. Hence, when the photos and rumors came out, it immediately caused many people to be surprised.
"Surely not?"
"These two parties can even work together?"
"Didn't Zhang Ye offend Central TV Department 11 before? The annual crosstalk and skit competition was ruined by Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai. I've long heard that many of the big satellite stations in the industry have blacklisted Zhang Ye and are calling him 'Little Troublemaker'. He's more than capable of getting things done, but he's also more than capable of ruining things! "
"Central TV Department 1 is Central TV Department 1, not Department 11."
"I'm shocked."
"Surely that can't be true?"
"These photos don't look like they were photoshopped!"
"Is Central TV really that bold? They dare to use Zhang Ye? "
"I think it's very good! Central TV has made a brilliant move! "
"I think so too. Zhang Ye's reputation in the industry is not very good, but his ability is the real deal. Central TV's dominance of the variety industry has been declining year by year because it's too old-fashioned and old-fashioned. That's why it can't keep up with the pace of some of the satellite channels, and can't keep up with the innovation of the program rights that those satellite channels bought from overseas at a high price. That's why it's getting worse. If Zhang Ye really joins Central TV Department 1, he will surely inject fresh blood into Central TV Department 1 and bring an outstanding show. At the very least, it won't be much worse than Do You Remember, right? As long as it reaches a nationwide viewership rating of close to 1%, or even 0.9%, Central TV Department 1 should be satisfied. How many variety shows can exceed 1% these days? The market has already shrunk, and the various television stations are competing with each other. The viewership share today is not as concentrated as it was a few years ago. "
"I'm looking forward to Zhang Ye joining us!"
"Teacher Zhang doesn't seem to have a job now, right? To him, Central TV Department 1 is the best choice. There's no better platform than this! "
"The main thing is that we still don't know if the news is true or not!"
Rumors were flying everywhere. Many commoners and industry insiders were paying attention to it. Zhang Ye was no longer that unknown and inexperienced newcomer from back then. He was now a B-list celebrity and was someone who could change the structure of the television station's viewership ratings. His job change would definitely be closely watched by countless pairs of eyes, not to mention the rumors of him joining Central TV Department 1. The quality of the hosts at Central TV was the highest in the television industry.
…
The school bell did not ring.
In the car, Zhang Ye's cell phone kept ringing.
Zhang Ye's old colleague at Beijing Radio Station, who was also the current DJ at Central Radio Station, Tian Bin, was the first to call. "Zhang Ye, what's the situation with you?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Old Tian."
Tian Bin said in surprise, "Is what they say on the internet true? Deputy Director Jiang looked for you? "
Zhang Ye nodded and did not hide anything from him. He smiled and said, "Yes, he looked for me this morning. The contract has already been signed and I'll be officially starting work tomorrow."
Tian Bin said, "Is that true?"
Zhang Ye said, "Yes."
Tian Bin said, "Whoa, congratulations then."
Zhang Ye said, "From tomorrow onwards, we'll be colleagues again."
Tian Bin said, "Come on, I'm a radio host and you're a host at Central TV Department 1. What kind of colleagues are we? At most, we're from the same company. Heh, you've really made a name for yourself in the past six months. You're getting higher and higher. I'm really happy for you."
Zhang Ye said happily, "It's also thanks to you, Old Tian. If not for us fighting every day at Beijing Radio Station, I probably wouldn't have resigned and would still be working at the radio station."
Tian Bin laughed and said, "Don't mention those trivial matters in the past. If we didn't fight back then, we wouldn't have such a relationship now. This is called 'no discord, no concord'."
Zhang Ye ridiculed, "It's not like discord, no concord. That's because you've always been the one getting beaten up. If we talk about arguing, when have you ever won against me?"
Hearing this, Tian Bin nearly vomited blood. "How have I never won against you? I can't pretend that I didn't hear what you just said. If you insist on saying it, then we'll have to discuss it properly! "
"Hahaha."
The two of them bantered for a while more before hanging up.
Then, it was a call from his mother.
His mother said, "Son, you're going to Central TV Department 1?"
Zhang Ye said, "I just signed the contract and was about to report it to you and Dad."
"Good! Good! Good! "His mother praised him thrice." I knew someone would know what's good for him! Look, look, even Central TV Department 1 has come to look for my son! This is the biggest TV channel in the country! Alright, do what you need to do. I'll hang up now and give your dad a call to cheer him up! "
After hanging up, a third call came in.
This time, it was Yao Jiancai. "You're going to Central TV?"
Zhang Ye said, "You know about it too?"
"I just heard the news. Have you signed the contract?" Yao Jiancai asked.
Zhang Ye said, "I've signed it."
Yao Jiancai asked, "What about the remuneration?"
Zhang Ye said, "The standard remuneration, but the contract is a little shorter, a year."
Yao Jiancai said, "That's still very good. I was wondering why you didn't go to Beijing Television before this. So it turns out that you've already found a place to work for. Beijing Television can't compete with Central TV no matter what."
Zhang Ye said, "I don't have a place to work for. It was Central TV that contacted me today. I felt that the platform was quite good and the authority given to me was quite lax, so I agreed to it."
Yao Jiancai said, "The platform is quite good? It's more than just good! "
Zhang Ye laughed, "Haha, it's not bad."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye thought for a while and decided to call some of his close friends, like Dong Shanshan and Hu Fei. As for Wu Zeqing, there was no need to talk about it. He definitely had to let them know. This time, he had gone to Central TV and was considered to have returned to Old Wu's "territory." Central TV's superior was the SARFT. Hai, to be honest, as long as Zhang Ye was in the entertainment industry, he would be under the management of Old Wu, the Deputy Chief of the SARFT. This was because the SARFT was everywhere.
...
After a bunch of calls were made, time passed very quickly.
The sound of the bell signaling the end of class could be heard from the school gates. Not long after, No. 2 Experimental Primary School's main gate opened and the children came out one by one. The parents rushed forward to pick them up.
There were too many people, so Zhang Ye naturally did not go up. He just put on his sunglasses and got out of the car. He waited on the side of the road and suddenly saw Chenchen's figure. He waved his hand and opened the door on the other side. When the little kid came over, he carried her and placed her in the front passenger seat. "Fasten your seatbelt."
Chenchen fastened her seatbelt.
Zhang Ye went around to the other side of the car and drove off. "How was your performance today? Did the teachers reprimand you? "
Chenchen said expressionlessly, "No."
"Well, then I did pretty well." Zhang Ye did not know how to measure it.
Chenchen: "..."
Zhang Ye suddenly thought of something. "Oh yes, Uncle will be going to work at Central TV tomorrow. Your school is on holiday tomorrow, right? Don't go running around all by yourself. "
Chenchen did not say a word.
Zhang Ye looked at her. "Can you do it alone?"
Chenchen said, "Cook for me."
"I still have to go to work. Don't you know how to cook?" Zhang Ye said.
Chenchen said, "My aunt asked you to take care of me. Zhang Ye, you have to cook for me."
Zhang Ye blinked and said, "Why don't I order takeout for you? If the delivery person comes, you can just open the door.... That won't do either. It's not safe for a child like you. Then I'll get a neighbor to take care of your meals? Tomorrow, you can go to Sister Sun's house across the street for lunch? She's renting your apartment, so she will definitely make an exception. If not, let my parents take care of you for a few days? "
Chenchen remained silent with a sullen face.
Zhang Ye knew that this little kid was angry. He said, "Must I be by your side?"
Chenchen: "Yes."
"Hai, I'll see how it goes tomorrow." Zhang Ye was also out of ideas.
Chenchen suddenly said, "Zhang Ye, I'll go to work with you too."
Zhang Ye turned the steering wheel. "Ah? I'm going to work at Central TV with a child on my first day? Wouldn't people make irresponsible remarks? No way, no way. "
Chenchen immediately said, "Then stay at home with me."
"I have a job." Zhang Ye stared.
Chenchen said, "Then bring me to work."
Zhang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Good heavens, you're relying on me now. Alright, I have to go back and think about it. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
They drove home.
When they entered the house, Zhang Ye carried Chenchen to wash her hands and lathered her up before calling for takeout. In the end, Chenchen said that her school bag was dirty today, so Zhang Ye had to go to the bathroom to wash it for her — he was now a full-time nanny.
......
At night.
Central TV's official website announced that the famous host, Zhang Ye, would be joining Central TV Department 1. Central TV Department 1's new program would be based on Zhang Ye's program planning and would be entering the preparation and production stages. It would be taking over the Thursday 9 PM time slot!
When the news came out, everyone was in an uproar!
"It's true!"
"Holy sh * t!"
"So it's not just a rumor?"
"Central TV has really invited Teacher Zhang Ye over?"
"Central TV is a traditional territory. Zhang Ye is someone with a different way of thinking than most people, so how will he be able to do well there? He won't be acclimatized, right? "
"Chen Ye is also a pillar of Central TV Department 1. Are the two of them going to have a face-to-face confrontation? Are they going to compete in the viewership ratings for real? "
"That's Chen Ye's home turf. Teacher Zhang is a newcomer, so he definitely won't be able to compete with him in the viewership ratings. Besides, Zhang Ye will only be taking over the Thursday night time slot, not some primetime slot. He won't be able to compete with Chen Ye, a veteran of Central TV. Chen Ye has the right timing, location, and people."
"That might not necessarily be the case."
"Right, this is Zhang Ye we're talking about. His name represents miracles!"
"I'm really looking forward to Teacher Zhang Ye's new program! You're finally back! You've made us fans wait for too long! "
"Congratulations to Teacher Zhang for entering Central TV!"
"Scattering flowers! The jinx has returned! "
"I have a strong feeling that a good show is about to begin!"
"Hahaha, wherever Teacher Zhang is, there will always be a good show!"
"Let's see how big of a commotion Zhang Ye and Central TV Department 1 can make this time!"
