Feng Guiqin smiled. “We just recruited him a short while ago, you were away on a business trip at that time.”
The old man tapped his head continuously saying, “This recruitment was very well done. To have such a good reaction speed and resilience, he’s a really talented host. There’s not many of them in the country, even if there is, they are all working for those traditional television stations. Those people have very well drawn contracts to prevent headhunters from getting to them. How much did our company pay to recruit this Little Zhang? 500,000? 1,000,000?”
Feng Guiqin laughed, “Not a single cent, this Little Zhang was fired by Beijing Television Station. He was a free agent with no contractual obligations.”
The old man was very happy, “There’s even such a good deal? Is Beijing Television Station stupid? Such a good host and they were willing to release him?”
“The internal happenings were more complicated, I do not know the details very well myself,” Feng Guiqin said, “But what I can say for sure is that we picked up a bargain.” Actually before recruiting Zhang Ye, the company’s management had already considered and analyzed the issue. They felt that Zhang Ye was a double-edged sword, he could hurt others and hurt them too. They were taking a bet on him. Looking back now, they felt that they had made the right bet!
……
On-stage.
A few close shaves had been handled well by Zhang Ye. He also had his back full of sweat over the incidents, but only he knew about it. He could react so quickly this time because back then on “Tonight 80’s Talkshow”, a similar situation occurred, though it was a backstage incident that happened. Even if Zhang Ye did not eat the Memory Search Capsule, he would definitely remember that episode, so he borrowed the host, Wang Zijian’s words!
Whew.
Finally, he could start the live broadcast.
Zhang Ye smiled. “Thank you very much for watching today’s ‘Zhang Ye’s Talk Show’. I am your host, Zhang Ye. Many people must have heard about today’s program. Yes, this episode is a live broadcast. So despite being such an excellent host in this industry, I also can’t help but feel nervous!” As he said that, he adjusted his tie.
“Yi!”
“Yi!”
The audience began to boo!
Zhang Ye pretended not to hear it and carried on speaking in his jolly manner, “After the first episode’s broadcast, the response from the audience was very good. The program’s clicks steadily climbed. There were people who praised my program and there were also people who cursed my program. Someone said, Zhang Ye you are lying. You are cheating us consumers. How can you go off-script for such a long program? Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Here it comes!
He went straight to the point!
The eyes of the audience lit up. Everyone knew the person who doubted Zhang Ye. It was Lee Parkwoo and his brainless fans!
Zhang Ye suddenly said to the camera, “What I want to say is that you guys guessed right!”
“Ah?”
“What did that mean?”
“He really isn’t doing it off-script?”
“That’s not right. I don’t see any teleprompter?”
