However, Wang Xiaomei said, “Work hard, then. It’s not that easy to surpass my listenership ratings.” Her tone sounded a bit prickly. She left after she finished speaking.
Zhang Ye smiled bitterly.
At the unit’s office, today’s atmosphere felt particularly weird.
“Did you hear? The rating for ‘Old and Young Story Club’ on Friday was 3.31%!”
“I knew about it the day before yesterday. It’s really such an exaggeration!”
“Say, do you think Teacher Little Zhang will really reach the top of our channel?”
“It might have just been a fluke. I don’t think it will happen. Teacher Xiaomei has been number one all these years. Her segment’s foundation lies deep, so it shouldn’t be taken down.”
“But Teacher Little Zhang is too fierce! He has already chased to just about 0.3% left. Besides, I’ve heard they are giving him an additional hour over the weekend. They have halted ‘Weekend Laughing Forest’ for two episodes. There are also more people resting over the weekend, so an afternoon session might be able to rival a prime-time session at night!”
“That is still impossible.”
“Right. Teacher Xiaomei isn’t a pushover.”
