It was time to knock off.
But Central TV was bustling with activity!
During the non-holiday period, most of the Central TV staff, other than those who were working overtime, would have already left by this time. They would not even want to stay a second longer and go home early for dinner. However, a lot of them did not leave today. Some of them were discussing in the office, while others were chatting in the hallways.
"Something's happened!"
"What's wrong? None of you are leaving?"
"Something happened at the finance department!"
"Director Zhang is so awesome! I've been watching from the outside for half a day! There were so many people outside the finance office just now! "
"What's wrong? Tell me! What happened to Zhang Ye again? "
"Central TV Department 1 did not pay him his salary, so Director Zhang caused a huge commotion in the finance department. He even made Little Liu, who was in charge of the payroll of Central TV Department 1, cry! Damn, this is too awesome! Director Zhang's mouth was simply godly! He could even bring the dead back to life! You didn't say a single dirty word and you made me cry! "
"Which Liu?"
"She's the one with the mole on her forehead, the snobbish one!"
"Oh, I know her. That woman is really good at currying favor with the leaders. She's also really good with words. How did she get Zhang Ye to make her cry? Hai, look at what I'm asking. That's right, that's Zhang Ye we're talking about. Quarrel with him? Who in the whole of Central TV can argue with him! "
"Xiao Liu from the finance department usually looks down on people. She is very cocky because she has a good relationship with the leader. This time, she has finally met her match! She thought that Zhang Ye was the same as the other employees? What she said was the truth? Zhang Ye would give her whatever proof she wanted? What a joke! If Zhang Ye was so easy to talk to, he wouldn't have offended so many of his industry peers, and wouldn't have been hated to the bone by so many people! "
"This is going to be huge!"
"Does the leader know?"
"He definitely knows. Let's see how to deal with it!"
"If this goes on, I really don't know how to end this!"
"Eh, a director from the finance department is here. He is Xiao Liu's leader!"
"Xiao Liu went to complain?"
"Eh, it seems like Director Lian has gone over to The Voice's program team!"
"Are they going to fight? Quick, go take a look! "
"Wait for me, I'm going too!"
"There's a good show to watch. I'll go home later!"
…
On the other side.
In The Voice's program team office.
When Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others found out about the news, they were all shocked.
Assistant Little Wang clapped and laughed. "That's so satisfying! She should be scolded like that! "
Another girl said, "We've vented our anger, but we're in big trouble now. Our department was already treating Director Zhang this way, so if something like this were to happen, wouldn't we be able to handle it?"
Wu Yi said, "Even if he deserves to be scolded, he still has to be scolded. How dare a normal Finance Department employee challenge Director Zhang? Deduct Director Zhang's salary? What right did she have to do that? Ignoring Director Zhang's status at Central TV, Director Zhang was a well-known mathematician and an associate professor at Peking University. Even people would have to be polite to him, yet she dared to claim that she was a professor? If it were me, I would've beaten her up! "
Ha Qiqi said, "Come on, Old Wu, don't add to the mess."
Zhang Zuo suddenly looked out the door. "Someone's here?"
Ha Qiqi also looked over and was taken aback. "Director Lian from Finance? What was going on? Is he still here to 'denounce' us? "
In the blink of an eye, three or four people came in from outside the door. One of them was Director Lian from Finance, who was also Little Liu's direct superior. The other person was Little Liu, along with a few other colleagues from the Finance Department. As for a large group of people following behind them, they were too embarrassed to come in. Instead, they stood outside the glass wall of the office and watched. It was obvious that they were Central TV employees who were here to watch the commotion.
Little Liu still had tears on her face.
When Director Lian came in, he shouted, "Where's Zhang Ye? Where is Zhang Ye? "
Zhang Zuo was a little annoyed. "What are you shouting for?"
"Ask Director Zhang to come out. What right does he have to scold my subordinate until she cries? Ah? "Director Lian was very angry.
Ha Qiqi also recognized him. She stood up and said, "Old Lian, what's the meaning of this? We haven't even looked for you, but you're already looking for us? Why didn't you say anything about Director Zhang's salary not being paid? Everyone's salary has been paid, except for my leader's. What's the meaning of this! "
Director Lian said, "Old Ha, it's none of your business!"
Ha Qiqi said, "My leader's business is my business!"
On the other side, Zhang Ye's office door opened and he was seen strolling out. "Who's looking for me? What are you shouting for? Are you treating this place like your own home! "
When Director Lian saw him, he stared at him. "Zhang Ye, you came at the right time. You're also someone with status and the program team's leader. Aren't you embarrassed that you scolded a young lady until she cried?"
Zhang Ye was amused. "She wants me to prove that my payroll card is my payroll card. Then let me ask you, how do you think I can prove it to her? Where the fuck am I going to get this proof? It was clearly something that I could have checked with your internal system, but you guys didn't do it for me and even pushed all the blame to me. Even if I said a few words to her, it would already be considered a light punishment. Besides, I didn't scold anyone at all. There were so many people present at the time, so when did I scold her? "
Director Lian shouted, "Our Finance Department has our own set of operating procedures and guidelines. Little Liu has her reasons for asking you to prove it. If you don't produce any proof, how are we going to check it for you? If everyone comes over with all sorts of requests, then our Finance Department will have to handle them one by one and verify them one by one. Can we still do anything else? Are we still going to be busy with our proper work? If you can't produce any proof, then our Finance Department can only judge that your salary has been transferred to your account. "He was still pestering Zhang Ye endlessly!
You still want me to prove it?
Zhang Ye laughed. "I can't deny it just because I can't produce any proof?"
"Of course!" Director Lian said angrily.
Zhang Ye nodded and retorted, "Alright then, I would like to ask you something, Director Lian. Do you have any proof to prove that I'm not your grandfather?"
"What?" Director Lian's face turned green with anger. "Say that again!"
Zhang Ye really did say it again. "Do you have any proof to prove that I'm not your grandfather?" With a pause, he looked at Director Lian. "Why? You don't have any? You can't prove it either? Alright then, according to your logic, I can only be your grandfather. "
"Pfft!"
Some of the onlookers in the distance could not help but laugh!
Director Lian exploded. "Zhang Ye, your grandfather!"
Zhang Ye said, "Do you have any proof to prove that I'm your grandfather?"
Department Head Lian was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "You! Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough! "
After saying a few words, Director Lian nearly had a heart attack. When his colleagues from the Finance Department saw this, they hurriedly said, "Director, don't waste your breath on him!"
"Right, let's go first. Don't get angry again!"
"Let's report this to the higher-ups. I don't believe that we won't be able to reason with them!"
"Director Lian, don't get angry, don't get angry!"
"Director! Hang in there! Hang in there! "
Director Lian panted and said, "Hang in there, my ass! I'm still alive! "
A few of the Finance Department staff hurriedly helped Director Lian away. Director Lian was still unwilling to leave and was still pointing and scolding in Zhang Ye's direction as he was being held back.
"Zhang! You're good! You're good! "
The Central TV staff who were watching from the sidelines were a little speechless. They thought to themselves, "Why did you come here? You were beaten by Zhang Ye the moment you met him?" "Your fighting prowess is too weak. Besides, if you knew that you couldn't win against Zhang Ye in an argument, why did you come here? Weren't you just asking for trouble? Who didn't know about Zhang Ye's glib tongue? Besides, if you really wanted to talk about this matter, it was the Finance Department that was in the wrong!
"Let's disperse."
"Hai, let's go, let's go."
"This is so boring. I thought that there would be a fierce battle."
"The people from Finance are all bark and no bite!"
"But Zhang Ye's mouth is really sarcastic!"
"Director Zhang is scolding everyone that comes, scolding everyone that comes!"
"How awesome!"
"Yeah, I was so amused listening to him!"
"I've been with Central TV for so many years and have come into contact with quite a few hosts. To be honest, Zhang Ye is really the best talker I've ever met!"
"I'm convinced. If I had a mouth like Director Zhang's, what would I have to be afraid of? I wouldn't have to be afraid even if I were to travel the world! His scolding didn't use any vulgarities, but it was even more vulgar than using vulgarities to scold someone! I'm really drunk! The jinx of the entertainment circle, the hooligan of the education world, these titles are really well deserved! "
"The people from Finance have really embarrassed themselves this time!"
...
Upstairs.
Central TV Department 1's director's office.
Jiang Yuan was inside. Sitting opposite him was the director of Department 1, who was also the current head of Department 1, Jiang Naixiong. He was a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s. Although his name had the word "Xiong" in it, he looked rather refined. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and did not lose much hair.
Jiang Yuan said, "This Zhang Ye has become so lawless! Even the Finance Department has been turned upside down by him! "
"How do you think we should handle this?" Jiang Naixiong looked at him.
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I think we should focus on criticizing and beating him down. Let's make our stance clear first. Our department's interests are our top priority on this matter, so we definitely can't back down just because of him. We must also convey this message to him and let him know that Department 1 will not give in to him. As for the contract, I will continue discussing it with him in the next few days. We will definitely get him to sign it."
Jiang Naixiong nodded and said, "It's best to let Zhang Ye handle the new program with the 80 million RMB. He's very capable, and if we leave it to someone else, they might not be able to do a good job."
"I understand that." Jiang Yuan said, "Let's just hold him back for now. In any case, Central TV's first overseas copyright sale will not go through his hands alone. It will definitely go through our department."
Jiang Naixiong nodded and said, "If he knows anything, he should know what to do. Actually, he doesn't lack money, so the copyright is nothing to him. But a new program with an 80 million RMB investment is a stage for him to showcase his skills on. That's something that he can't exchange for. The resources of Central TV Department 1 are not something that any other television station can give him. He should understand that. Besides, he still has a year left on his contract."
Jiang Yuan said, "OK."
...
Half an hour later.
Central TV had released an internal email criticizing Zhang Ye for insulting his colleagues in the Finance Department in the afternoon. All of the Central TV staff had received the email, but as for the reason why Zhang Ye's salary had been suspended, there was no mention of it. It was as if it had never happened!
