The next day.
It was a cloudy day with a heavy smog outside.
Putting on his mask, Zhang Ye drove to work. Although he would be resigning from Central TV soon, that would only happen in a few more days. His leave this time was a little long, almost a month long. Since he was still a member of the Central TV Documentary Channel, he had to go back and have a look.
At the office.
Department 14's office.
"How's your date with your boyfriend going?"
"It's fine."
"Bring him here. I'll give you some advice."
"Sure."
The moment Zhang Ye entered, he saw a group of busy colleagues. Having not seen each other for a long time, he missed these colleagues who had fought together with him. Seeing some of them eating breakfast, some of them secretly playing games, and some of them whispering to each other without noticing him, Zhang Ye couldn't help but tease them a little.
"The leader is here!" Zhang Ye said loudly.
In an instant, the office descended into chaos!
Little Wang quickly turned off her game!
Wu Yi quickly stuffed the last bite of his bun into his mouth!
The colleagues who were chatting with each other suddenly changed their attitude!
"How's your work going?"
"It's fine."
"Bring it here. I'll give you some advice."
"Sure."
Hearing that, Zhang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was the same conversation as before, except that they had replaced the word "boyfriend" with "work." Can't you guys change it up a little? As the saying goes, the general leads the soldiers. This saying seemed to be true. After interacting with Zhang Ye for so long, this group of colleagues had gradually become more shameless. They were all competing with each other in being thick-skinned!
"Ah!"
"Director Zhang!"
"It's Director Zhang!"
Exclamations rang out!
At this moment, everyone realized that it was Zhang Ye who was standing at the door. Only then did everyone realize that they had been tricked by Director Zhang. The person who had come was indeed the leader. Zhang Ye was the leader of their Documentary Channel. But everyone knew that Zhang Ye was different from the other leaders. He would never care about them chatting or playing games during working hours.
Little Wang was pleasantly surprised. "Director Zhang!"
Little Li also exclaimed, "Director Zhang is back! Director Zhang is back! "
Ha Qiqi stood up. "Director Zhang."
"We've missed you so much!" a man like Zhang Zuo also put on a pretentious act.
Zhang Ye said in amusement, "Come on, I see that you guys are having quite a good time. You can't wait for me to not come back. In the future, make sure to exit the game cleanly. The minimized window is still up there."
A few of his colleagues who were playing games laughed in embarrassment.
Then, a group of people surrounded him and asked him all sorts of questions.
"Director Zhang, how are things going between you and Jiang Hanwei?"
"Yeah, we're all paying attention!"
"Why did it suddenly stop moving?"
"Did you really crash into Jiang Hanwei's car?"
"I think it was Spring Garden's Teacher Xiaodong's birthday banquet yesterday, but Jiang Hanwei left early with his people? What happened? What was the result? "
"He even wants to hit your agent?"
"Who is your agent?"
"It seems to be a woman?"
"Yes, I saw the photos the reporter posted! It's a little blurry! "
"Vaguely a beauty?"
One question followed another.
Zhang Ye smiled and answered, "I have an agent now. Her name is Rao Aimin. If there are any advertisers looking for me in the future, if they call the company, you guys can get someone to contact her. I'll give you her number later, so she can handle my matters from now on."
Little Wang said excitedly, "I'm finally free! I don't have to answer your calls every day anymore! "
Zhang Ye said, "It's been hard on you this month."
Little Wang stood at attention. "To serve the people!"
Ha Qiqi said, "Then about Jiang Hanwei's matter …"
"It's already done." Zhang Ye said, "I won't go into the details. It's boring."
But the more Zhang Ye did not say, the more curious everyone became!
"Go ahead and tell us!"
"Yeah, that Jiang Hanwei has gone too far!"
"He's even preparing to deal with your agent?"
"Director Zhang, quickly tell us!"
Everyone kept asking. They knew Director Zhang's temper and knew that he was a very easygoing person, so they were never afraid of him and would ask whatever they wanted to ask.
But Zhang Ye waved it off and did not say a word. Because in his opinion, even though Jiang Hanwei was the one who provoked him first and came looking for trouble for no reason, it was still not something to be proud of. Ramming into his car? Scolding him at Xiaodong's birthday party? Scaring him away? There was no need to mention such things. It wasn't like it was something to promote positive energy. Zhang Ye could fight and scold people in the industry, but he did not really like it. But there was no other way. Since they had provoked him, he had to step in!
But before Zhang Ye said anything, news suddenly appeared online!
Little Wang said, "Quick, look, there's another situation!"
"What's the matter?"
"Jiang Hanwei has spoken!"
"Is that so? Where, where? "
Everyone gathered around.
After a day or two, Jiang Hanwei finally spoke up today after a long period of silence. He accepted a phone interview with a southern entertainment newspaper!
"Jiang Hanwei makes it clear: I don't like people like Zhang Ye!"
The content of the phone interview with Jiang Hanwei was: "I've never liked people like Zhang Ye. I also have my doubts about his current popularity. What's wrong with people these days? Also, there's another matter that I would like to clarify. You said that I spread the word that I would beat up Zhang Ye's agent? That's completely untrue! Everyone, please don't spread this rumor in the future! This rumor will end here! "
There was a heated discussion on the Internet!
"Everyone has their own preferences!"
"Yeah, I like Zhang Ye!"
"Me too. I feel happy whenever I see Zhang Ye!"
"Jiang Hanwei has clarified the rumors?"
"That can't be right. Didn't someone swear that it was true?"
"How did it become a rumor?"
"Jiang Hanwei must have said those words! Did he change his tune? "
"Something must have happened in there!"
"It might just be a rumor."
"Rumor, my ass. The two of them got into a car accident!"
"Yeah, Zhang Ye even crashed into Jiang Hanwei's car. The two of them got into such a big conflict when they were fighting for the road, so why didn't Jiang Hanwei mention anything about it? What's the meaning of this? "
"Just what's going on? I don't know what's going on either! "
"Does Jiang Hanwei mean that he's admitting defeat?"
"Even with Old Jiang's status in the entertainment industry, he can't do anything to Zhang Ye?"
"No matter what, this matter has come to an end. Let's disperse, disperse!"
The development of the matter had exceeded everyone's expectations. When this matter first came out, some people felt that Zhang Ye would definitely have a big fight with Jiang Hanwei and that they might even resort to violence. Needless to say, Zhang Ye's agent, who had popped out of nowhere, would definitely not be able to escape. Jiang Hanwei would definitely do as he said. But in the end, the matter actually ended up being left unsettled? Jiang Hanwei actually said that he did not say those words?
All sorts of speculations arose!
There were even more rumors!
Some said that a big shot of the entertainment industry had stepped in to mediate the situation.
Some said that Xiaodong had brought the two of them together.
Some said that Jiang Hanwei saw that Zhang Ye's agent was a woman, so he couldn't be bothered to make a move. He didn't hit women.
Didn't hit women?
Only a small portion of the entertainment industry's industry insiders who were present that day knew the truth. Only they knew that Jiang Hanwei had not admitted defeat, but that he had been scared off by that weird female agent of Zhang Ye's! And with Jiang Hanwei speaking out this time, those people were even more convinced of one thing. Jiang Hanwei was not afraid of Zhang Ye at all. He could even openly express that he did not like a person like Zhang Ye at such a time and would probably have a dispute with Zhang Ye in the future. Jiang Hanwei's main point in the interview was that he had never said that he would hit Zhang Ye's agent. Those who knew the inside story would know that this was the main point of the matter. Jiang Hanwei would rather smack his own face than take back what he had said!
Just who was this female agent of Zhang Ye?
This question had already set off a huge wave in the entertainment industry!
…
Later that morning.
Director Yan Tianfei also came over to chat with Zhang Ye for a bit.
"Director Zhang, has it been resolved?" Yan Tianfei asked.
"It's been resolved." Zhang Ye nodded. "I'll be starting work today."
Yan Tianfei reminded, "Be wary of Jiang Hanwei in the future. That person is not to be trifled with."
Zhang Ye nodded and said with a smile, "Director Yan, I know. But it just so happens that I'm not to be trifled with either."
Yan Tianfei was amused when he heard that. "It's not that you're not to be trifled with, it's that you're not to be trifled with!"
Zhang Ye immersed himself in his work and helped Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others go through the newly released documentary on the air pollution.
Ha Qiqi and Zhang Zuo brought up some of the difficulties they faced with their work.
Ha Qiqi said awkwardly, "There are some data and experiments that we can't do."
Zhang Ye said, "Just tell me what you need. I'll be leaving soon, so the executive directors will be the two of you this time. But as long as it's something I can help with, I'll let you know."
Zhang Zuo said, "The Peking University laboratory, we'd like to …"
Zhang Ye said without hesitation, "Alright, I'll contact them for you. There won't be any problems there. Whatever you need, I'll just give them a call when the time comes."
Ha Qiqi added, "We can't handle the Weather Bureau. There are some data that they won't give us at all!"
Zhang Ye nodded. "Alright, I'll help you settle it!"
"There are still a few interviews …" Zhang Zuo said.
Zhang Ye said, "Sure, I'll go and have a look when the time comes."
Zhang Zuo hesitated. "You might not be able to go. They don't accept interviews on TV."
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "Don't forget, I'm an associate professor at Peking University and Media College. I might not be very popular in the industry, but people still have to give me some face."
Ha Qiqi smiled. "Alright then, I'll get Little Huang to get the information for you."
After a while, Huang Dandan came back with the documents. "Ahem, ahem, Director Zhang, here you go."
Zhang Ye looked up. "Why did you catch a cold?"
Huang Dandan's expression was dull. "I haven't recovered yet."
Zhang Ye said, "You were already sick before I left, right? Take care of your body. "
Huang Dandan smiled and said, "Alright, thank you for your concern, Director Zhang."
He had been busy the whole morning.
…
Noon.
It was time for lunch break.
Zhang Ye took a deep breath and stretched himself. He got up and prepared to go eat.
But as soon as he went out, he heard his colleagues whispering to each other.
"She's a beauty."
"How did you find this place?"
"I don't know."
"I heard they've been waiting for the whole morning."
"Security has called several times already. Should we inform Director Zhang?"
"She's probably a fan?"
"But she doesn't look like one!"
Zhang Ye overheard some of the conversation and asked, "What's the matter? Who's looking for me? What fan? "
Little Wang broke out in a sweat. "Uh, Director Zhang."
Huang Dandan scratched her head and said, "In the morning, security called and said that there was a woman downstairs looking for you. She didn't have a work permit or a pass, nor did she have your number, so security chased her away. However, it seems like that woman didn't leave at all. She's been standing downstairs all this time and said that she must see you today."
There were many cases of fans chasing after celebrities, and there were also many people who came to Central TV to surround Zhang Ye every day, so it wasn't strange at all. The reason why security reported it to Department 14 was probably because the other party was a beauty?
Zhang Ye asked, "Did she say why she was looking for me?"
"Uh, not really," Huang Dandan said.
Zhang Ye nodded. "Let's go downstairs for lunch. It's my treat today."
"Wow."
"Director Zhang is treating?"
"I'm coming too, I'm coming too!"
"Haha!"
Everyone cheered excitedly because Zhang Ye was quite generous. Every time he treated them to a meal, it would always be quite good.
The elevator went downstairs.
The 20th floor …
The 10th floor …
The 5th floor …
But before the elevator doors opened, everyone in the elevator heard a woman shouting when they were on the second floor!
"Zhang Ye!"
"Come out!"
The elevator stopped on the first floor.
When the door opened, everyone looked over in surprise.
Quite a few of the colleagues on the first floor were also looking at that woman in surprise.
Ha Qiqi said in a daze, "Is this the woman who was looking for Director Zhang?"
"Why are you shouting?" Zhang Zuo frowned.
Three or four security guards had already gone upstairs and were chasing her away!
"What are you doing!"
"Are you trying to cause trouble?"
"Hurry up and leave!"
"Are you going to call the police again?"
The security guards were about to take action and were extremely angry!
When Zhang Ye saw this, he quickly stopped them. He had always been very kind to his fans, but this person didn't seem to be one of his fans. "I'll handle it!"
The security guard turned around in surprise. "Teacher Zhang, you're here already?"
A fat security guard said, "This person is trying to cause trouble! She's already been here all morning! "
Zhang Ye smiled. "It's fine, I'll handle it."
This was a woman in her early twenties, probably about the same age as Zhang Ye. She was not the kind of person who would look extremely beautiful at a glance, but when she stood in a crowd, she would definitely not be ignored. She was someone who people would definitely take a liking to at first glance. She had a very good demeanor and was very pleasing to the eye. This woman was dressed in normal sportswear. Looking at her shoes, they looked a little old but were very clean. She didn't seem to be from a wealthy family. She had black hair that was tied into a simple ponytail.
When the woman saw Zhang Ye, her eyes immediately sharpened!
Zhang Ye took a few steps forward. "Who are you?"
Ha Qiqi, Little Wang, and the others were afraid that Zhang Ye would run into some crazy fan, so they quickly followed behind him.
The woman looked at him. "You're finally here."
Zhang Ye asked curiously, "Why are you looking for me?"
However, what the woman said stunned Zhang Ye. She said, "Zhang Ye, why are you using the name of Taiji to swindle people?"
Taiji?
What Taiji?
Many of the people around them could not understand what she meant!
But Zhang Ye understood and narrowed his eyes. Those who knew about Taiji Fist and that he knew Taiji Fist were clearly not ordinary people. Only people from the Chinese martial arts world would know about this! Zhang Ye also did not expect that someone would come up to him to question him. An enemy? Someone from a large sect? It didn't seem like it! How did I swindle people?
Zhang Ye turned around and said to Ha Qiqi and the others, "You guys can have lunch by yourselves. Bring back the receipt and I'll reimburse you guys later. I have some matters to attend to."
Ha Qiqi said in surprise, "Director Zhang?"
"Go ahead, I'm fine here," Zhang Ye said.
When his colleagues saw this, they all turned around and left.
Zhang Ye pointed to a temporary meeting room in the corner of the lobby. "Can I have a word with you?"
"Sure." The woman followed him over.
In the meeting room.
Only the two of them were left.
Only then did Zhang Ye take a closer look at the woman. "You're from the Chinese martial arts world?"
The woman said, "You could say that."
Zhang Ye wondered, "Why did you say that I was swindling people?"
The woman glanced at him. "Don't tell me you really know Taiji Fist?"
"Why do you think that I don't?" Zhang Ye asked again.
The woman said, "Because there's only one successor to Taiji Fist in this generation, and that successor is obviously not you."
Zhang Ye asked curiously, "Who are you?"
The woman took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. Then she said something shocking, "Taiji, Yang Shu!"
