The next day.
The rejection of the award had been going on for two days. Yesterday's Peking University press conference was considered to have put an end to the matter and the matter was slowly calming down. Zhang Ye, who had been staying at home for a few days, finally woke up early to go to work, seeing that the weather was not bad.
He drove to the office.
It was autumn outside and the air was crisp. Looking up, he could see the blue sky and white clouds.
He bought a morning newspaper at the entrance of Central TV Tower and flipped through it as he walked to the office. After flipping two pages, he saw his picture on it. It was the picture from yesterday's Peking University press conference. The headline of the news was very eye-catching, taking up about a seventh of the page. The headline was specially colored and used Zhang Ye's original words: "Zhang Ye: Right or wrong, merits and demerits are up to future generations to judge!"
Actually, it was not only the Beijing Morning Post. All the major newspapers in the country had reported and commented on this news on a large scale. Some of them had been published yesterday, and some of them had been published this morning. There were even some television stations that had released a video recording of the press conference, showing the scene from last night in its original form. Zhang Ye's sentence "Right or wrong, merits and demerits are up to future generations to judge" had caused quite a stir on the internet! If you were to go online now, you would find all sorts of news regarding the "Wordless Monument"!
Closing the newspaper, he glanced at the Weibo message box on his cell phone.
Just from last night until now, there were more than 10,000 private messages and messages left for him on Weibo!
Little Cabbage: "Idol! What you said was too good! "
Warblers fly over the grass 117: "I like you so much! What a good 'merits and demerits are up to future generations to judge'! You're the only one in the entire country who can say such shocking words! "
DJFOIK: "In the past, I never chased after celebrities, nor did I pay much attention to the people in the entertainment industry. If I liked to watch television, I would just watch it. I couldn't even remember the names of those celebrities, but yesterday's' merits and demerits' touched me too much. Those words were too shocking, so I immediately went online to search for all of your works, including some of your deeds. After reading it, I want to say this: You are really different from those other celebrities! From today onwards, you will have another fan. I'm not a fan, I'm not chasing after celebrities. I'm chasing after the feelings that only shine on you! "
Little Fei: "I'll support you forever! Teacher Zhang, you can do it! "
Everyone was very supportive of him. His Weibo followers had also increased by more than 100,000 in the past few days. Now, Zhang Ye's Weibo had about 3 million followers. Although he could not compare to those A-list or S-list celebrities who easily had tens of millions of followers, and could not even compare to some of the Korean celebrities or Korean boy and girl groups who came to China to develop their careers, everyone knew that Zhang Ye's fans' fighting prowess was something that no other celebrity fan club could compare to!
Spam?
Cursing?
Causing trouble?
Jeering?
They were proficient in everything! In a fight, one person could fight against three people! This wasn't an empty boast, but an illustrious reputation that had been built up through several fan wars!
Zhang Ye looked at everyone's messages. Seeing that his fan base had grown in size once again, this fellow was quite happy. He chose a few simple messages to reply to. A rejection of the award and a comment on the wordless monument had brought him so much popularity? This was indeed something that Zhang Ye had not expected.
This world also had Wu Zetian. A part of the important history had not changed, but that sentence on the wordless monument, "Merits and demerits will be judged by future generations", was not said by Wu Zetian. That was a guess made by the later generations themselves. There were also a few similar guesses. For example, Wu Zetian felt that her achievements were too great and could not be recorded on a monument, so she left it blank. There were also guesses that Wu Zetian knew that she had done too many immoral things, so she did not write anything. It was just that in this world, one or two of the later generations' guesses were no longer valid. This was also due to the fact that Zhang Ye had spent countless Reputation Points to forcefully memorize all the books and audio recordings in this world after the college entrance examination. He was no longer as unfamiliar with many things on this world as before. That was why he dared to openly explain the wordless stele to them yesterday.
Some lost classics could not be buried. That would be a disrespect to history, a disrespect to the predecessors. As their only spokesperson in this world, Zhang Ye naturally had the responsibility and obligation to plagiarize the classics … to pass them down. Heh, isn't this the spirit of Lei Feng!?
He took the elevator upstairs.
Ding. The elevator door opened. He had reached the floor where his program team was located. But the moment he stepped out of the elevator, Zhang Ye saw two people talking not far away. They were talking rather loudly and fiercely.
Who was it?
Quarreling so early in the morning?
Taking a closer look, he saw that it was Jiang Yuan and a middle-aged man.
Yan Tianfei stared at him. "Old Jiang, are you people from Central TV Department 1 looking for trouble? Our department has just recruited two pretty good fresh graduates, but look at you guys! You're taking them all away? Not even leaving a single one for our Department 14? "
Jiang Yuan looked at him with a headache. He knew that this person was not easy to get along with. He was also the director of a department, and if not for Central TV Department 1's special status in Central TV, he might even be ranked higher than a deputy director like him. "Department 14 has only been established for less than two years and hasn't been able to do much, so why do you need so many people in your team? Those two graduates do not match your specialties at all, so the Deputy Station Head took these factors into consideration and assigned those two saplings to Central TV Department 1. Old Yan, it's really not that we're trying to snatch your people away. It was the Deputy Station Head who made the arrangements. If you feel that it's not appropriate, you can discuss it with the Deputy Station Head. As long as the Deputy Station Head agrees to it, we will immediately release them. "
Yan Tianfei said, "If they come to your department, I will look for you!"
Jiang Yuan smacked his lips. "It's useless even if you look for me, Old Yan. This was decided by the station heads after a meeting."
Yan Tianfei did not give him any face at all. "Old Jiang, don't give me that. If it weren't for you guys asking for the people, would the station have transferred them from my department? I would be cursed! The money was given to you, the people were given to you, and all the good stuff was given to Department 1! Are the other departments like us being raised by stepmothers? I'm going to fucking give you a piece of my mind today! After I'm done talking to you, I will look for the station heads in a while! You must give us Department 14 an explanation today! Otherwise, we'll just have to drag it out! I can't work? Don't even think about doing it properly! "
Jiang Yuan knew that Old Yan would really dare to cause trouble. Old Yan was a veteran of Central TV. His seniority was much higher than even Central TV Department 1's Director Jiang Naixiong, much less Jiang Yuan. He was someone who had been at Central TV ever since he started working there and had decades of seniority. Even the two deputy station heads of Central TV were once colleagues of the same department as Yan Tianfei. So even though Yan Tianfei had a bad temper and would shout and scold over anything, his position as the director of Department 14 was still very stable. The station heads did not really care about him, nor could they control him.
Jiang Yuan said, "Old Yan, what are you doing?"
Yan Tianfei asked, "Where's Jiang Naixiong?"
Jiang Yuan said helplessly, "Director Jiang hasn't come to work yet." Thinking about it, he was also a little worried about the other party's unforgiving temper, so he took a step back and said, "How about this, I'll make the decision on behalf of the director. If you feel that you're lacking people, other than those two fresh graduates, you can just pick anyone from Department 1 who has nothing to do right now. Just one person. It doesn't matter if it's a director or a producer, that should be fine, right?"
Yan Tianfei sneered, "Of those two graduates, one of them was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Jiangsu Province, while the other one just graduated from Media College this year and was once the vice president of the student council. With such good seedlings, not even ten of you normal employees can compare to them!"
Jiang Yuan threw up his hands. "Then there's nothing I can do."
Yan Tianfei immediately said, "If you want me to pick, that's fine too. Just transfer Zhang Ye from your department to me. Don't even mention one top scorer in the college entrance examination, even if there were ten of them, I wouldn't care. Just hand Zhang Ye over to me. You can choose however many people you want from our department!"
Jiang Yuan: "…"
Zhang Ye, who had just stepped out of the elevator, was also slightly taken aback.
Eh?
Why are you talking about me?
Central TV Department 14? What's this for?
