News Online: "The Zhang Ye that people love and hate."
— At the Golden Microphone Awards ceremony, Zhang Ye gave an acceptance speech. The persistence and strength in his speech influenced countless people at the venue, letting them know that even if Zhang Ye did not recite a poem or write a song, he could still give an earth-shattering acceptance speech. At the same time, Zhang Ye was still the same Zhang Ye. The first sentence of his acceptance speech had already placed Fang Gang and Xu Siyu, the two famous hosts of Central TV Department 1, on fire. One of the cameras even happened to capture the expressions of Fang Gang and Xu Siyu at that time. Zhang Ye had truly offended them again. At this point, we didn't know whether to laugh or cry. We couldn't help but think of a saying: It's not hard to offend people in one day, but it's hard to offend people every day. And Zhang Ye was undoubtedly such a person. A celebrity that made us love, hate, cry, and laugh at the same time!
"A Candid Host"!
"Zhang Ye's Reflections: Never Compromise"!

The netizens were also adding fuel to the fire and had long since woken up!
"Teacher Zhang is too f * * king cool today!"
"This speech is so cool!"
"I listened to it ten times! Ten times! "
"I almost cried! I'm really touched! "
"Teacher Zhang Ye, thank you! I've always liked you. Your poems and words always give me strength and courage! You're the best! "
The leader of Zhang Ye's fan club, Big Saber Bro, led a group of people to forward the video like crazy. Very quickly, the video of Zhang Ye's acceptance speech was pushed to the front page!
Top ten in popularity …
Top five in the popularity rankings …
Until it became the Weibo headline of the day!
Many netizens who were previously uninterested in the Golden Microphone Awards also noticed it and clicked on it to watch. After watching the acceptance speech, they realized that such a scene had actually happened at the Golden Microphone Awards just now. They had actually missed the live broadcast!
"Ah, I regret it!"
"F * ck, I didn't see the live broadcast!"
"I want to chop off my hand! Why did I go to watch a basketball game just now? "
"If I had known that the Golden Microphone Awards would be so exciting, I wouldn't have f * cking gone out to watch the movie. Even if I had to risk being scolded to death by my wife, I would still have gone home to watch the live broadcast!"
"Watching a video is the same! Zhang Ye has already surpassed a god! "
"This is what a celebrity should be like! This is how a host should be! "
"Hater turned passerby, give Zhang Ye a Like today!"
"Turning from passerby to fan …"
"Turning hardcore fan …"
Zhang Ye's Weibo follower count had once again experienced a huge surge. Coupled with the long-term accumulation of popularity from A Bite of China and other works, Zhang Ye's Weibo follower count had now reached an astonishing 10 million!
Ten million!
In just a few short months, it had grown exponentially!
Even some of the A-list celebrities only had slightly more than 10 million Weibo followers! Although a celebrity's overall popularity could not only be determined by the rankings on a single platform, it was still considered as a reference and would be factored into the overall Celebrity Popularity Rankings!
Without a doubt, after today, Zhang Ye's Celebrity Ranking would change again!
...
On the streets.
Zhang Ye was driving Dong Shanshan.
His cell phone rang. It was a call from the landline at home.
"Little Ye." His mother said excitedly, "When are you coming home?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I'll be back in a bit."
His mother asked, "Are you coming back for dinner?"
Zhang Ye said, "Of course. I've been hungry for a while now. I'll send Shanshan home first."
His mother said, "Shanshan? That classmate of yours? Why are you still sending her home? Ask her to come over to our house for dinner. Your dad and I have already made dinner. Ask her to come over too. "
"Alright, I'll ask her." After hanging up, Zhang Ye looked at the front passenger seat. He couldn't help but glance at Dong Shanshan's clothes, which had been squeezed out of shape by the seatbelt, and said, "My mom wants you to come over to our house for dinner. Let's go together. It's not that far anyway. You'll be eating alone at home anyway."
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "How did you know I would be alone?"
"Ah? There's someone else at home? "Zhang Ye said.
Dong Shanshan said, "How did you know there would be someone else at home?"
Zhang Ye knew that she never spoke the truth, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, I'll just park my car by the side of the road. You can walk home yourself."
"Don't you dare." Dong Shanshan laughed and said, "Let's go to your house for dinner. Auntie has already invited me, so if I don't give her face, that would be too unbecoming of me."
The car arrived home very quickly.
When he got upstairs, he realized that his mother was already waiting for him at the door. The door was already open and she had probably seen Zhang Ye's car from the window.
"Dad, Mom," Zhang Ye greeted.
The moment Dong Shanshan entered, she smiled sweetly and said, "Auntie, Uncle."
His mother looked at her for a long time and said, "Shanshan, you haven't changed from when you were in school. You're still as beautiful as ever."
When Zhang Ye was in university, he was a little "grumpy" in the Beijing dialect. As his parents were invited, his mother had gone to school a few times and met Dong Shanshan twice. Similarly, Dong Shanshan had an impression of Zhang Ye's mother, but she had never met Zhang Ye's father before. His father was very prideful, so he would never go to an event where his parents were invited.
His father also smiled and said, "Quickly wash your hands and eat."
Dong Shanshan said, "Yes."
"Where's that rascal Chenchen?" Zhang Ye looked around.
His father pointed to the master bedroom and said, "She went to sleep after eating."
Zhang Ye grunted, "That little sloth!"
His mother laughed and said, "Chenchen is also tired. Your dad and I were busy preparing dinner just now, so Chenchen was the one who answered the seven or eight calls at home. I have to say, Chenchen is really smart. She could recount who called and what they said. There was a call from your grandma, your two sisters, your cousin, and maybe even a reporter. I don't know how they found our house number, but Chenchen said that the person tried to get information from her for a long time, but in the end, Chenchen just hung up."
His father also nodded, "This child is even smarter than adults."
Zhang Ye hurriedly said, "Come on, both of you. Don't keep praising her. If this rascal gets all cocky and goes out on the streets to catch a criminal, then our family will be in big trouble."
His mother liked Chenchen a lot and did not like to hear that. She said, "She's still not as good as you at causing trouble!"
It was time to eat.
Zhang Ye wolfed down the food.
Dong Shanshan was very reserved as she ate. She would only say a sentence every time she took a bite. This was because Zhang Ye's mother did not allow her to spare the time to eat. She would ask a question every once in a while.
His mother asked, "Shanshan, how's your family?"
Dong Shanshan said, "They're all pretty good."
His mother asked, "Your family is from Inner Mongolia, right?"
Dong Shanshan said, "Yes."
His mother asked, "Do you have a partner?"
Dong Shanshan said, "Hur hur, not yet."
His mother said, "Well, it's good that you don't have one. For a job like yours, you have to be very careful when you look for a partner. There's a lot of work to do, so it's best if you find someone who's in the industry. That way, you'll have a common language to speak with."
His father could not bear to watch this any longer. "Don't talk so much. Let the child eat first."
Dong Shanshan smiled sheepishly. "It's fine."
His mother seemed to like Dong Shanshan quite a bit. After eating, she started chatting with her again.
In the end, Zhang Ye found a way to call Dong Shanshan into his room.
He said, "My mother is always like that. She talks a lot."
"Auntie is quite interesting," Dong Shanshan said with a smile.
Zhang Ye pointed to the room. "Sit anywhere you want."
Dong Shanshan pushed away the unfolded blanket at the end of the bed and saw a pair of men's underwear underneath. It looked like it had been worn before, but she did not say anything. She picked it up with her index finger and thumb and threw it away.
Zhang Ye's face heated up as he said nervously, "Don't throw it away blindly." He quickly went to pick it up.
Dong Shanshan crossed her legs and looked around. "Your house has surprised me quite a bit. It doesn't look like the bedroom of a celebrity of your level at all."
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "That's true. This bro is even poorer than you now. I heard that you've accepted a commercial endorsement deal? There are still quite a few commercial appearances, right? Beijing Television is not bad. They don't have as many restrictions on hosts as Central TV. "
Dong Shanshan said, "That's why I'm planning to buy a house."
"Sure, I'll go and stay there later," Zhang Ye said casually.
Dong Shanshan smiled. "Sure, go ahead. As long as you're not afraid of the paparazzi."
Zhang Ye said happily, "Then forget it."
"Oh yes." Dong Shanshan said to him, "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I've arranged a dinner party with many of my friends in the industry. There shouldn't be any enemies of yours among them. There will be both men and women there. Do you want to join us?"
Zhang Ye smacked his lips. After sitting down, he said earnestly, "If you have the time, why don't you do something serious? Why are you celebrating a foreigner's day? Come, Shanshan, let me tell you about the history of Christmas. A long, long time ago, there was a foreigner's day — "
Dong Shanshan cut him off in a speechless manner. "Forget it, I'm not going to talk about this with a nationalist like you. Forget it, I knew you wouldn't come anyway. Just pretend I didn't say anything." As she spoke, she also laughed. "You, you're exactly the same as back then. You always get angry at anyone who mentions a foreigner's day to you."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I can't stand to have sand in my eyes."
Dong Shanshan said with a sigh, "Back then, who could have expected that you would be the one to achieve the most in the end? This time, you even won the most prestigious award for hosting. Do you still remember that? Back then, we did a survey as a joke. 90% of our classmates' biggest dream after graduation was to win the Golden Microphone Award. At that time, no one could have expected that you would be the first to achieve it. Furthermore, you did it in less than two years after graduation! "
Zhang Ye said nonchalantly, "I was just lucky, really."
Dong Shanshan said, "All of a sudden, I was thinking about those classmates of ours. I wonder how they're doing and what they're doing. Let's get together sometime."
"Sure." Zhang Ye nodded, feeling a little nostalgic.
The world had changed.
Were those old classmates still the same?
