Lunch break.
Zhang Ye had finished his chores and wiped his sweat and cleaned his hands. He was prepared to head to the cafeteria for his meal, but he was not sure where it was. “Hou Ge, shall we eat together? Where’s the cafeteria? Do we need to make a meal card?”
Hou Ge laughed and patted him on the shoulder, “Little Zhang, since it’s your first day, why don’t we have a meal outside? Why bother with the cafeteria?”
Zhang Ye said, “Oh, sure. I didn’t think that far ahead.”
Xiao Lu’s eyes lit up, “Where shall we eat?”
Hou Ge said, “We don’t have to go to too good a place. Just any restaurant will do. Let’s have a welcoming meal for Little Zhang. I heard there’s a restaurant at Guomao that’s not bad. The food is cheap and delicious.” Saying that, he added on, “Little Zhang just graduated from college, so he can’t have much money. We should help him save.”
Hou Di was also hungry, “Alright.”
“Dafei, are you going?” Hou Ge glanced at him.
“How can I not go, with all of you going?” Dafei put down his work.
The group of people left the small office and walked downstairs.
However, on the way, they met many employees of the television station. Some of them were from the Arts Channel, while others were from other channels. What made them surprised was that when many people saw Zhang Ye, they gave off the feeling like they had jumped out of their skins. Some even flitted a glance at Zhang Ye, while some were even worse. They tried to avoid him as far as possible. And when Zhang Ye walked past them, they would all turn back and look at him. They would also enter into whispers and point at Zhang Ye.
“It’s him.”
“I saw him.”
“He really came to our unit?”
“It can’t be? Why did the Leader hire him?”
“It can’t be? It’s really him? Did you see wrongly?”
Out of the television station, Hou Ge was curious, “Little Zhang, why were they all looking at you?”
“That’s right, that’s right.” Xiao Lu was also very surprised. “Aren’t you a rookie? And yet people know you? The radio station doesn’t show your face, but only your voice, right? That can’t be!”
Zhang Ye laughed, “How would I know? They might not be looking at me.”
“They must have recognized the wrong person.” Hou Ge concluded and then said, “Right, my car can’t be driven today. Which of you drive? We can’t all be taking public transport there, right? Then we wouldn’t be back in time in the afternoon. It will be too slow.
Zhang Ye took out his keys, “I drive.”
Hou Ge was surprised, “Eh, you even have a car? Not bad, Little Zhang. Looks like you work very hard. You can buy a car just after a few months? Eh, this key…” He said in surprise, “BMW?”
Dafei seemed very interested, “Which series?”
“X5, I just received it yesterday, ” said Zhang Ye.
“Not bad, even the low configuration of the X5 costs hundreds of thousands,” said Hou Di.
