There was nothing going on over the weekend.
Monday morning.
His father was helping Chenchen pack her school bag and looking at the timetable to get the books for the day.
His mother had finished preparing breakfast. Seeing that it was almost time, she opened the door to her son's room to wake Zhang Ye up for breakfast.
"Son, it's time to eat!" his mother shouted.
But when she entered the room, she realized that Zhang Ye was already awake.
Zhang Ye was scribbling on a pile of documents without lifting his head. "Got it, Mom."
His mother was puzzled. "Hey, why are you suddenly so energetic? It's been like this for the entire weekend. I didn't see you sleeping at night, but you were already up in the morning before I even woke up. Did the sun rise from the west? What are you writing every day? Haven't you been frozen? What else is there to be busy with? "
Zhang Ye said, "Didn't I get a transfer?"
"That Central TV Documentary Channel?" his mother curled her lips.
Zhang Ye nodded. "Yes, so I wrote a program proposal and worked on it for the entire weekend. It's almost done."
His mother harrumphed and said, "That lousy documentary channel? These days, even if variety shows are not done well, there might not even be an audience for them, much less a documentary. Only a fool would watch it! "
Zhang Ye: "..."
"Hurry up and eat." His mother turned around and walked away.
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "Forget it, you won't understand even if I explain!"
His mother instructed, "Send Chenchen to school after you're done eating."
"Got it," Zhang Ye replied.
Regarding Zhang Ye's transfer, his parents did not mind at all. Zhang Ye's team members went with the flow and society did not pay much attention to them. It seemed like Zhang Ye was the only one who was full of fighting spirit.
After sending Chenchen to school, Zhang Ye conveniently bought two copies of the newspaper from a newsstand beside the experimental primary school. Yes, the newspaper did publish the news of him being transferred to Central TV Documentary Channel, but it was placed further back in the entertainment section and not very eye-catching. The entertainment section was dominated by other celebrities. One was suspected to be pregnant, another was suspected to be involved in a scandal, but was actually promoting a new movie, etc. There were always big and small things happening in the entertainment industry every day, but news about Zhang Ye was very inconspicuous.
Looking at his cell phone, he saw that there were people discussing it online.
"Zhang Ye has been transferred?"
"Hey, it's all the same!"
"That's true. I guess Central TV Department 1 couldn't stand Teacher Zhang anymore, so they threw him to another department. But he's still frozen, so don't expect Teacher Zhang to appear on television again this year. Hai."
"The recording channel can also record things!"
"Pfft, are you sick?"
"The documentary channel, do you want to take a look at the footage?"
"Damn, that's true."
"Teacher Zhang is an expert in variety shows, yet you want him to shoot a documentary? Putting aside the fact that they wouldn't allow him to film, even if they did, Teacher Zhang had to know how to do it! Even if they did, who would watch documentaries? So was there any difference in transferring from Central TV Department 1 to Central TV Documentary Channel? If we expect Teacher Zhang to give us another show with viewership ratings like The Voice, we will have to wait until next year, when he terminates his contract with Central TV. "
The netizens did not pay much attention to it and did not take it too seriously.
In response, Zhang Ye smiled faintly.
…
Central TV.
Zhang Ye went upstairs and went straight to his old office. Xu Yipeng was not around, so he only saw Chen Ye and his team working on the new show in high spirits. Everyone had a look of excitement on their faces. Meanwhile, the people from Zhang Ye's old team were all packing up their desks and documents. Most of them had a numb expression on their faces. To them, this transfer was not a promotion, so there was nothing to be happy about.
"Good morning, Director Zhang," Ha Qiqi greeted him listlessly.
Zhang Ye nodded. "Are you done packing up?"
Ha Qiqi nodded. "Then shall we head over to Department 14 first?"
Little Wang said, "Director Zhang, do you want me to help you pack up?"
"There's no need. You guys go ahead first. I'll head over after I'm done packing up." Zhang Ye turned around and went into his office to pack up his things one by one. He did not like others touching his things, so he did not ask anyone to help him. After he was done packing up, Zhang Ye took one last look at the office he had worked in for the past few months. Without any reluctance, he strode out of the office.
When the Rise to the Dance team saw this, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"He's finally gone!"
"Yeah, he's finally gone!"
"Heh, it's quiet now. There's no one to make trouble for us anymore."
"The Voice is a thing of the past. In the future, it'll all depend on our Rise to the Dance!"
"Director Chen, the date for the preliminary auditions has been set. We'll just have to change the stage of The Voice. It won't take much effort. The higher-ups have given us two months of recording time, so that means we'll be officially broadcasting in December?"
"Yes, time isn't tight. Everyone, let's work hard!"
"Got it!"
"Yes!"
"Don't worry about it!"
Standing at the elevator entrance, Zhang Ye could hear some of the chatter behind him. I'm finally gone? Chen Ye, you guys are too naive! I'm not gone. Hur hur, it should be me, Zhang Ye, coming back again! Your new show will be broadcast in December? Sure, we'll have a chance to meet again then!
The elevator arrived.
Zhang Ye sat in it and headed straight up.
Central TV Documentary Channel was a newly established department two years ago. The office of Department 14 was located on a higher floor, so even though Zhang Ye had heard a little about what was going on there, he had not seen it with his own eyes and had never been there before. As such, he knew that there were some things that he could not just be excited about, as that would be useless. Some things still had to depend on the actual situation. For example, Department 14's environment, staffing, and facilities were all directly related to whether Zhang Ye could show off his skills. Regarding this, Zhang Ye was still filled with anticipation.
But when he arrived at the new office, Zhang Ye was dumbfounded!
As it was a new environment and the office had not been renovated for long, the renovations looked quite good. The tables and chairs were all new, and there were three separate office areas on this floor. However, one of the large office areas was empty. The transparent glass door was locked with a metal chain and it was covered in dust. The other two office areas seemed to belong to two different departments. Zhang Ye saw Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others from the office area opposite, so he went in.
He was dumbfounded by the scene he saw when he went in.
This office area belonged to Department 14 and there were about 20 people there. Almost without exception, all of their computers were switched on and the screens were filled with game interfaces!
Some were playing Fight the Landlord!
Some were playing online games!
And some were playing Plants vs. Zombies!
This group of people were all very enthusiastic and were chatting with Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, Wu Yi, and the others!
Tong Fu said excitedly, "Director Ha, I've heard so much about you all!"
Huang Dandan said, "Welcome, welcome, we warmly welcome you all!"
Another young man said, "Director Yan is not here yet, so feel free to take a seat. Find any seat you like and sit in whichever computer you like. Aiya, we've been looking forward to your arrival!"
Another young man came over and said, "Yeah, we received the notice on Friday. When we found out that you all were coming, everyone was very excited. We'll all be family in the future, so please don't stand on ceremony!"
Tong Fu immediately said, "Don't be so polite, let's get down to business first!"
That young man nodded repeatedly. "Right, right, right. Business is more important!"
Just as Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others thought that they were going to talk about business, a female staff member, Huang Dandan, said, "Do you all want to play Adventure War? It's already downloaded onto the computers for everyone. You just need to register an account and enter the tenth server. Let's grind monsters together and level up! "
Tong Fu also said, "This game is really good. Let's form a party!"
"Since we don't have much work to do every day, let's grind monsters together!"
"We're still missing a doctor. Who wants to choose?"
"We're also missing a sharpshooter. We've been stuck in this dungeon for several days now!"
"Stop fooling around. Why are we playing an online game? Playing Plants vs. Zombies is more than enough!"
"Damn, this bastard doesn't want to play with us anymore. Quick, who wants to join us? We're lacking a player in mahjong. Let's have a brother and play together!"
Ha Qiqi: "…"
Zhang Zuo: "…"
Wu Yi: "…"
Zhang Ye was also dumbfounded!
Fuck!
What the fuck is this place!
