Beside him, a youth about the age of Zhang Ye advised in whispers, “Forget it, Teacher Zhang. You can’t beat them. Just endure it. The station has purposely dragged to Friday before announcing the resumption of your segment, so as to stop your Silver Microphone Award nomination. Without an anchor position, you cannot be given the nomination, no matter who recommends you.” He added on casually, “That is, unless one of the five judges for the Silver Microphone Awards give one of their additional nomination spots to you directly. Every year, there are three other additional nominations for the Golden Microphone Awards, while there are two for the Silver Microphone Awards. Only these spots do not need to gain the nomination through the stations, and can be put on the list of nominees through an exception.”
Additional?
There were additional spots?
Zhang Ye’s mind began churning. He recalled that Zhang Yuanqi was one of the judges this time!
