The next day.
Early in the morning, at the entrance of Central TV Tower. The staff were coming to work in groups of twos and threes.
"Did you guys hear about what happened yesterday?"
"Heyo, who doesn't know about it!"
"Yeah, it was even on News Simulcast. Everyone in the country knows about it!"
"Director Zhang won't be able to stay at Central TV Department 1 any longer. But then again, Central TV Department 1 is also in trouble and no one is going to have it easy! I heard that even the station heads are flipping out! Some of the leaders of Central TV Department 1 acted on their own and will probably be punished as well! "
"Right, this is a life-and-death struggle!"
"How many people can be as daring as Zhang Ye!"
Everyone who came to the unit today was discussing this matter.
Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm.
"Look, Zhang Ye is here!"
"Did you see wrongly?"
"What?"
"Aiyo, it's really him!"
"What is Director Zhang doing here?"
"I don't know!"
"Ahem, could Director Zhang be … here for work?"
"How is that possible!"
"They've already shed all pretense of cordiality, why would he still be working!"
Everyone was extremely shocked.
In the end, they saw Zhang Ye stroll into the television tower and take the elevator up. From his expression, he did not look any different from his usual self. Moreover, they did not know if it was an illusion, but everyone felt that Director Zhang seemed to be happier than usual. There was a slight smile on his face, as though nothing had happened.
"Is Director Zhang here to cause trouble?"
"I think he's here for a fight!"
"Maybe he's here to reason with Central TV Department 1?"
"Come, let's go and take a look!"
Some of the Central TV staff hurriedly followed Zhang Ye into the same elevator or the elevator beside it. As they were too curious, they also wanted to watch the show. However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Ye did not even go to the leader's office. Instead, he went straight to the original program team office of The Voice, which was also his own department.
Inside.
Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others were still talking anxiously.
Little Wang was panicking. "What should we do? What should we do!"
Ha Qiqi also had a look of despair on her face. "The new show will definitely change hands this time."
"Don't even mention the show changing hands." Zhang Zuo said in a deep voice, "Even the person in charge of our program team will definitely change hands. Director Zhang will not be leading us anymore!"
Wu Yi said angrily, "How could this be!"
Then Zhang Ye walked in. "Yo, you're all here?"
When they heard this voice, Ha Qiqi and the others turned around in shock!
"Director Zhang?"
"Ah?"
"You, why are you here?"
They obviously couldn't react in time.
Zhang Ye blinked his eyes matter-of-factly, "What do you mean why am I here?" He waved the watch in his hand, "It's already office hours. If I don't come to work, where would I go?"
Zhang Zuo, Ha Qiqi, and the others were dumbfounded!
The Central TV staff outside were also stunned by what they heard!
Go to work?
You've already scolded your leader, caused a ruckus in the finance department, and even sued Central TV Department 1 in court. You've already seen your fair share of blood, yet you still want to go back to work??
Everyone nearly fainted. Only now did they realize that this fellow, Zhang Ye, was indeed not a normal person. His way of thinking and the way he handled things did not have the logic of a normal person. But thinking about it, if Zhang Ye was really a normal person, he wouldn't have sued Central TV in court! Having encountered such a weirdo, Central TV Department 1 had to suffer. As the saying goes, the unreasonable are afraid of the reckless, the reckless are afraid of the reckless, and the reckless are afraid of the shameless. And Zhang Ye was the unreasonable, reckless, and thick-skinned type of person. He was the type that was not afraid of anyone!
In an instant, the news of Zhang Ye going back to work as usual spread throughout Central TV.
Everyone vomited blood!
"Aiyo, what the heck!"
"Zhang Ye has really amused me!"
"Pfft, Zhang Ye is indeed Zhang Ye!"
"I really admire how thick-skinned he is. He's so thick-skinned!"
"This fellow has never played his cards according to common sense before!"
Actually, to Zhang Ye, this was not because he did not play his cards according to common sense at all. Although Central TV Department 1 had approached him to discuss the contract, his contract was actually signed with Central TV. Zhang Ye did not have much of an opinion about Central TV, nor did he have any direct conflicts with them. It was just that he was bitterly disappointed in Central TV Department 1. For example, in the lawsuit that he submitted to the court, the other party was Central TV's Department 1. In Zhang Ye's opinion, his lawsuit against Central TV Department 1 would not affect him coming to work at Central TV, so there was no conflict between the two.
Regarding Zhang Ye's "punctuality" and "conscientiousness," Central TV was very quiet. Central TV Department 1 did not make any moves either. This was because Central TV Department 1's Jiang Yuan and Jiang Naixiong had been called to a meeting by the Deputy Station Head!
...
Upstairs.
In a large conference room that was reserved for the leaders.
Around the conference table were leather sofas. Seven or eight people were sitting there. Among them were the Director of Department 1, Jiang Naixiong, and the Deputy Director of Department 1, Jiang Yuan. The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table was Central TV's Deputy Station Head. He was the second-in-command and looked very dignified.
The Deputy Station Head said, "Old Jiang, how could you be so muddle-headed!"
Jiang Naixiong explained, "There was indeed a problem with the system regarding the salaries, but who would have thought that …"
The Deputy Station Head interrupted, "Don't try to play dumb with me. Is it really because of the salary issue? What do you have to say about The Voice's copyright? Do you really think that the station doesn't know anything about it? "
Jiang Yuan hurriedly took the blame for the leader. "I acted on my own. That was because the contract we signed with Zhang Ye previously was indeed not very reasonable. We did not consider this point at the time, and when we saw that it might have caused quite a bit of financial loss to the station, I wanted to make up for it as soon as possible. By changing the contract back, it was also for the sake of the station's interests. As for the salary issue, it was really not intentional. It was just a system error."
"It's useless to explain it to me!" The Deputy Station Head got even angrier when he heard that. He pointed outside and said, "Go and explain it to the media reporters! Go and explain it to the people! "
The two of them did not say another word.
Beside them, a station head was also very angry. "The entire country is talking about Central TV right now! Delaying the salaries and openly snatching an artist's copyright! They're all watching us make a fool of ourselves! When I went out this morning, I was immediately stopped at the entrance by several foreign reporters! They asked us why we were delaying Zhang Ye's salary? Of course I know why! "
Jiang Naixiong sighed. "It was our lack of consideration that caused damage to the station's reputation."
The Deputy Station Head said, "It's not that you guys were inconsiderate, it's just that you were muddle-headed! Great, now! You guys have brought glory to Central TV! Look, all the headlines of the newspapers and news are all about us! How glorious! How glorious! "He slammed the table and shouted," Even my old face is blushing! "
Jiang Yuan whispered, "We also did not expect that Zhang Ye would sue Central TV."
The Deputy Station Head said, "You didn't expect it to end just like that? What were you doing earlier! "
The station head beside him also said, "What kind of person is Zhang Ye? During the crosstalk competition organized by Central TV, he caused such a huge mess that he was forced to stop broadcasting! He even scolded the SARFT before! Is this the first day that you guys know what kind of person he is? "
The Deputy Station Head said, "You guys have put the station in a very passive position!"
Although it was called a meeting, it was actually a criticism session.
Central TV Department 1's director and deputy director were scolded for half an hour by the two station heads!
...
Online.
The effects of the incident were still spreading.
Central TV Department 1's famous Spring Festival Gala host, Chen Ye, publicly posted on Weibo: "It's only a day's salary being paid late, do they really need to resort to legal means? Isn't this making a big deal out of nothing? Central TV has so many departments, so if something goes wrong, it's understandable that the salary will be delayed by a few days. It was the same for me in the past. If we have to go to court over such a small matter, then everyone should stop doing anything else and just complain! "
He was purely pretending to be confused.
When Zhang Ye's fans saw this, they all surrounded him!
"Idiot!"
"Bootlicker!"
"Is it about the salary issue?"
"Why didn't you mention anything about the copyright issue?"
"Teacher Zhang didn't offend you before, did he? It was just like last time when Teacher Zhang pushed you out of the B-list rankings and you came up to scold him? And again this time? Are you addicted to it?! Are you trying to get all worked up by ignoring me? Isn't it just a Spring Festival Gala host before? What are you being so arrogant for! In terms of fame, talent, and knowledge, which one of you can compare to Teacher Zhang? "
"Idiot Chen Ye! Downstairs, maintain formation! "
"Idiot Chen Ye! Downstairs, maintain formation! "
"Supporting Teacher Zhang unconditionally!"
Suddenly, Big Saber Bro appeared. "Fuck, I've been working overtime for the past few days and didn't go online. How did such a big thing happen? Everyone, charge! Scold them back with me! Kill them all!
Suddenly, Big Saber Bro's silhouettes appeared in all directions!
On Central TV Department 1's official Weibo, Big Saber Bro scolded: "You dare to fire Teacher Zhang? You stinking idiot! "
The netizens: "..."
A Zhang Ye fan hurriedly reminded, "Big Saber Bro, they're not firing Teacher Zhang, they're just suspending his salary."
Big Saber Bro said: "Ah? They're not firing him this time? What salary? "
Another Zhang Ye fan said nervously: "And the copyright."
Big Saber Bro asked: "What copyright?"
"Aiya, it's hard to explain in a few sentences. Just watch the news," a fan said.
While Big Saber Bro was talking to them, he was also scolding Central TV Department 1: "Why would I watch the news? I don't care about the salary or copyright, I'll scold them first! I'll scold them into submission first! Go! "
Zhang Ye's fans: "..."
Chen Ye's fans: "..."
The Weibo netizens: "..."
When some of the celebrities in the entertainment industry saw this, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They thought to themselves, 'Look at him, this is what you call a hardcore fan!' He didn't even know what was going on the moment he went online, nor did he understand the situation clearly. Yet he immediately charged into the fray and started scolding. He was practically a model worker among the fans!
An online scolding war was about to break out!
It added fuel to the fire!
Right now, the focus of the entire media and entertainment industry was on this lawsuit between Zhang Ye and Central TV Department 1. How the lawsuit would progress, how Central TV Department 1 would react, whether Zhang Ye would accept mediation, and who would win this first lawsuit against Central TV by an artist would be the focus of everyone's attention!
