A few days later.
Saturday.
On the day of the press conference.
Morning, Department of Thoracic Surgery of Oncology Hospital.
"Dandan," Tong Fu said.
Huang Dandan shook her head. "Impossible!"
Little Wang said with a sullen expression, "Director Zhang really said that."
Huang Dandan said in disbelief, "Don't you guys know what kind of person Director Zhang is?"
"I know." Tong Fu gritted his teeth and said, "But this time, he really doesn't plan to interfere. He has already told all of us not to touch this matter and not to mention it again. We even wanted to go to the leader to protest again, but he stopped us and didn't let us go!"
Little Wang said in grief and indignation, "Our documentary definitely can't be aired anymore. The footage has already been deleted. Today is the day of the press conference. We will explain to the reporters and the public why our documentary was taken down. It's 7 PM now, so the press conference will begin in another two hours!"
Huang Dandan shook her head.
Tong Fu said, "Actually, I can understand Director Zhang. He's going to leave Central TV soon, so if he were to get into trouble at this time, it would have a huge impact on him. Since they know that our documentary might offend a lot of people, no one would want to take on such a mess. Director Zhang also …"
"Don't say anymore!" Huang Dandan interrupted him angrily. "You guys go!"
Little Wang said, "Dandan, why are you …"
Huang Dandan did not listen. "Go back!"
"Then, then we'll go to work first. Take good care of yourself and listen to the doctor." Tong Fu had no choice but to leave the ward with Xiaowang and another colleague who came to visit him.
"What should we do?"
"Let Dandan have some peace."
"Sigh, she definitely won't be able to accept it."
"Director Zhang has really …"
"Don't say anymore. Director Zhang has already done enough for everyone."
"Let's go back. There are still a lot of things to do at the press conference."
…
Meanwhile.
SARFT.
Wu Zeqing walked into the office building.
"Uh."
"Chief Wu!"
"Good morning, Chief Wu."
"Ah, Chief Wu!"
Many people were stunned. Today was Saturday, a holiday, and didn't Chief Wu go to Shanghai for a meeting yesterday? The original plan was to come back on Sunday. Why did Chief Wu come to work today? Uh, did something happen in the unit? Why haven't I heard of it?
The staff members were all discussing among themselves.
Very quickly, Wu Zeqing's secretary, Bai Li, also rushed over.
In the office.
Bai Li was also a little surprised. "Chief Wu, why are you back today? Didn't they say that the meeting in Shanghai will end on Sunday? "
Wu Zeqing said casually, "Something might happen today, so I came back early."
Bai Li asked in shock, "What happened?"
Wu Zeqing did not answer her, but said, "If anything happens today, inform me immediately. I will be at the office all day."
Bai Li said fearfully, "Uh, okay."
What was going on?
Even Chief Wu came back early?
What kind of big mess was going to happen!?
…
Central TV.
At the press conference.
"I'm from the Beijing Times."
"Oh, please come in."
"I'm from the news channel. This is my press pass."
"Alright, please come in."
"I'm from Tianjin Television."
"Welcome, please come in."
One by one, the reporters and cameramen entered the venue. Some of them were setting up their equipment and adjusting their cameras, while others gathered in groups of twos and threes to communicate.
"Why is the venue so big?"
"I heard there will be more than a hundred reporters."
"So many?"
"Yeah, Central TV Department 14's new documentary was banned, so a lot of people are paying attention to it."
"That's true, but I don't understand why."
"We'll probably find out in a while."
"I heard that the entire Department 14 has been punished and even given a warning!"
"Because of what?"
"Who knows? Isn't it just air pollution? How big of a deal can that be? "
"The smog seems to be able to cause diseases."
"Come on, isn't that all nonsense? It's just like pesticides on vegetables. No matter how you wash them, they can't be 100% clean. There will always be some residue left on the vegetables. But even if that residue is toxic, a small amount of it won't cause any adverse effects to the body, so it'll be fine. The smog is probably around the same. Besides, it's not something that happens every day. I think the weather today is pretty good. "
"Yeah, if the smog was really harmful, the station would have gotten us to investigate and report it long ago. But did any of you receive any notice in the past two years?"
"No."
"Our station didn't receive any notice either."
"I did receive a report, but I didn't manage to find out anything either. What is the definition of the smog? The officials did not provide any information on it either. There have been similar incidents overseas, but it's different from the situation in our country. PM2.5 was only proposed in the past two years."
Even many of the reporters at the frontlines did not know much about it.
This was the understanding and understanding of this world's smog. It was different from Zhang Ye's previous world. In this world, the people of China were still at the stage of discovering the smog. Ignoring how harmful it was, everyone was not even sure if the smog was harmful to the body or not.
Not far away.
Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others were also busy.
But it could be seen that every single person from Department 14 was very listless. Their faces no longer had the brilliance and anger they used to have and looked a little numb.
Zhang Zuo asked, "How many more people are needed?"
Wu Yi said, "We're almost there. Just one or two more."
"Let's get ready to start," Ha Qiqi said expressionlessly.
Beside them, several leaders of Central TV came over to inspect. They looked at them and said, "OK, how are the preparations coming along?"
Zhang Zuo said with an ugly expression, "It's good enough."
Deputy Station Head Zhou said, "When the reporters ask questions later, don't mention anything like being banned from broadcasting. That's too unpleasant to hear. The purpose of today's press conference is to give an explanation to the people who are concerned about this matter. Don't talk about anything else, got it?"
Another director criticized them, "In the future, don't make such a principled mistake again! Zhang Ye already knows the severity of this matter, so why are you all still doing this? "
After saying that, the station heads walked around again and did not think too much of it. Then they went back to their rooms. The documentary had already been deleted, so they couldn't broadcast it even if they wanted to. They did not believe that this group of people could cause any more trouble.
When the station heads left, the faces of the people of Department 14 turned even uglier!
Principled mistake?
What kind of principled mistake did we make?
Someone said, "Director Zhang seems to still be backstage. Can someone go get him?"
No one answered.
Ha Qiqi said straightforwardly, "Whoever wants to go can go."
Zhang Zuo sighed. "Old Ha."
Wu Yi looked at Ha Qiqi. "Actually, it's not easy for Director Zhang either. Director Zhang is tired this time and doesn't want to fight with them anymore. We have to understand that."
Ha Qiqi turned around and walked away to direct the other side.
Tong Fu walked over. "He personally agreed to Dandan's request!"
Zhang Zuo patted Tong Fu on the shoulder. "Little Tong, I know you're not in a good mood right now, but the implications of this matter are too great. It's not something that we can change, and Director Zhang has his own difficulties as well."
Tong Fu said angrily, "He can ignore it, but why is he stopping us from interfering?"
Zhang Zuo sighed.
All of a sudden, a figure stood outside the door!
The people of Department 14 exclaimed!
"Dandan!"
"Aiyo!"
"What are you doing here?"
"Why aren't you staying in the hospital? Why are you here?"
"You're about to undergo surgery!"
Tong Fu was stunned!
Ha Qiqi also hurried over.
Huang Dandan said calmly, "I'm just here to take a look."
Ha Qiqi reprimanded, "The documentary has already been axed and Director Zhang doesn't care about it anymore, so why are you here to take a look? Hurry back and rest! "
Tong Fu was also getting anxious. "Huang Dandan!"
But Huang Dandan turned a deaf ear to him and continued standing there stubbornly, not moving an inch!
It was time!
The press conference was about to begin!
Backstage.
At this moment, Zhang Ye was all alone.
In the past few days, no one at Department 14 knew what Zhang Ye had been up to. He had been suspended from work and did not even show his face at the office. No one had called Zhang Ye either. It was as though the entire team had become estranged from Zhang Ye overnight, and many of them were angry at him.
Zhang Ye looked at his watch and heaved a sigh of relief. He adjusted his shirt collar repeatedly in front of the mirror before smiling and walking out in satisfaction. He was very determined to leave!
I'm not a strict person, nor am I a likable person. I'm not a meticulous person, nor am I a schemer. I don't know how to do something to make everyone agree and be satisfied with it. My EQ isn't that high, and my IQ isn't that high either. I often make mistakes and am impulsive at times. I have a lot of shortcomings, and I know all of them!
You can doubt me!
You can scold me!
You can humiliate me!
You can bite me!
I don't care about all of that!
But you won't let me speak?
That won't do!
That … really won't do!
Do you guys think that by deleting the source footage, you can seal my mouth?
Do you guys think that a documentary can only be released through video?
Hur hur, I'm guessing that you guys have never seen a documentary that was released on the spot before, right?
