Chapter 79: Zhang Ye — Synonymous with Notoriety!
Afternoon.
Grand Theater’s hall.
The venue hosts were announcing the remaining Silver Microphone Award winners. There was still some commotion, but Zhang Ye had already left the venue and backstage. Along the way, Zhang Ye attracted the attention of many people. This was because outside the theatre, the staff had also heard Zhang Ye’s poem. Some of them even saw him while they were below the stage. Therefore, there was such a strange scene happening now.
“Uh.”
“Hey, look!”
“That’s Zhang Ye.”
“F***, this guy is too awesome!”
A few staff members kept staring at him like he was some kind of god.
Some others who were not aware of the situation could see the crowd watching Zhang Ye and parting when Zhang Ye passed through them and thought that he was some superstar. That can’t be necessary, right? He’s just walking along. Why does everyone need to send him off so properly?
“Who’s that?”
“Don’t you know? You weren’t at the venue earlier?”
“No. I took over my shift outside earlier.”
“Hey, then you’ve missed a great show. go regret it in a corner. Haha!”
Seeing everyone’s reactions, Zhang Ye knew that he had done something with big repercussions today. It was not like he did not know his cursing poem was inappropriate. He had killed his chances at remaining in the radio broadcasting industry. The same could be said of the TV industry, especially in Beijing Television Station, which is a sister station to Beijing Radio Station. With the cursing speech by Zhang Ye, they would not have a good impression of him. Even though Hu Fei had promised him that if he had won the Silver Microphone Award, he could join his new program, after the poem the invite would have been voided. Zhang Ye had weighed his thoughts and was clear that he would not be joining Beijing Television Station anymore.
But even so, he just wanted to curse!
He would do it all over again if given the chance!
You are the people I’m cursing! Your faces are the ones I’m slapping! I just want to put you in a spot! I just want to expose your ugly faces to those in the industry! And any other thing? Zhang Ye did not care about any other things; he just wanted to feel good first. To let those who made him uncomfortable, he would not let them be comfortable, either!
That’s how it was!
It was that simple!
At this moment, Zhang Ye’s phone rang. So many people were calling him: his Leader, his colleagues and some others whom he did not know. They might have been reporters. Zhang Ye rejected them all without exception. He did not want to listen to anyone right now. What was done was done, andwhat was scolded had been scolded; there was no need for an explanation.
He only strolled slowly into a restaurant and treated himself to a meal. There was a television in the restaurant and it was tuned into Beijing Television Station. The Golden Microphone Awards event was just about to start. Zhang Ye only footed the bill after the awards ceremony finished its broadcast. He took a bus back to the Beijing Radio Station afterwards.
…
Afternoon.
The colleagues who were in the Grand Theater had all made their way back. They were discussing the happenings of the day with those who did not attend the awards. They only had half a day off and had work in the afternoon.
“Ah?”
“That’s not true, right?”
“Big Sis Zhou, you are just joking around, right?”
“Yeah, how can that be? Does Teacher Little Zhang still want his job?”
Just as they spoke of the devil, Zhang Ye returned at this moment. When he stepped into the office, everyone’s gazes were focused on him!
Big Sis Zhou exclaimed loudly, “Little Zhang! Why didn’t you answer the phone!”
Zhang Ye smiled “I didn’t hear it; I was having lunch earlier.”
“You were great!” Big Sis Zhou said. “Did you know that after you left, the whole theater’s atmosphere was so charged up! You winning the Silver Microphone Award this time, it could be said that you have entered the record books. First was the blunder, then came ‘Dead Water’. You were nothing short of astonishing!”
