Holy sh*t!
Second place?
“Old and Young Story Club”‘s rating actually managed to get second place?
The entire Literature Channel’s office exploded into an uproar! Impossible! Absolutely impossible. This was what everyone thought by default! What sort of segment was “Old and Young Story Club”? This was a pathetic segment that had been lining the bottom or the second from the bottom of the rankings over the years. Even “Late-night Ghost Stories”, which was even worse, could jump up to a ranking of around ten on the first day of a new novel. However, “Old and Young Story Club” had never managed to do so before. It’s best result was 18th place! This was also because of an “explosive” special program on Children’s Day five years ago!
Second? Listenership rates of 2.40%? And it had even exceeded a news-related program like “Entertainment Daily”? No one believed what they had just heard!
Wu Datao got angry for no reason, “Did you read it wrongly?”
Jia Yan also wished he had wrongly, “It’s written…like this.”
“Impossible.” Tian Bin also did not believe. “Going from last place to second? It’s obvious that such a thing is impossible!”
Jia Yan nodded. He looked at the ratings report and said, “I’m sure Statistics made a mistake. There’s no point announcing further. The rankings after this would all not be accurate. I’ll go up and find someone from Statistics!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye exploded, “What do you mean by this? Eh? When my listenership rating is at the bottom, you think it’s normal and take it for granted. Now that my listenership rating has turned for the better, you say Statistics made a mistake? Everything follows what you say? Everything you say must be the truth?” Zhang Ye coldly stared at everyone who doubted him, “I want to ask you! When has the station ever made a mistake with the statistics? Has there ever been once? Oh, so you having good results is justified? While me having good results is an error? What sort of people are you!”
Jia Yan knew his words were a bit over the top, but he insisted, “Everyone is questioning the statistics. We must first check it. After all, the jump is too great of an exaggeration!”
Zhang Ye quipped, “Sure, you can check. Then… what will happen if there’s nothing wrong? Will you take responsibility for the words you just said?”
Jia Yan looked at him and was sure that there was a mistake, so he said, “If the statistics are free of errors, I can apologize to you.”
“Alright, go check it.” Zhang Ye was confident. This confidence came from trusting his story. Although he, too, did not know how the rating had suddenly jumped up by so much, he knew that this story was an impeccable classical masterpiece from his world. It could not be bad!
Jia Yan left, while others began to whisper.
“Is that true?”
“I’m pretty sure it’s a mistake.”
“I think so, too. If not, it would be too great of an exaggeration.”
“Right. Teacher Feng has been at it for so many years, yet his ratings have always been at the bottom. How could the rating explode in just three days’ time when in Zhang Ye’s hands?”
“Wait and see. Little Jia should be back soon.”
Teacher Feng quickly pulled Zhang Ye over, “What’s going on?”
Zhang Ye said, “Don’t worry. The rating is definitely normal.”
Teacher Feng rolled his eyes, “You can still call this normal? This is too abnormal. If you got 19th or 20th, I could definitely believe it, but 2nd? It’s not that I don’t believe you, Little Zhang. It’s just that… Do you think our unpopular program can get a better listenership rating than a news-related program like ‘Entertainment Daily’?”
Zhang Ye blinked, “Why not?”
