Chapter 35 - Hosting a New Segment! (2/2)

Tian Bin quickly said, “It’s not a problem; it was just a laceration. A few st.i.tches was all it needed.”

With a terse acknowledgement, Zhao Guozhou glanced at Zhang Ye, who was sitting at this seat. Suddenly, he clapped to attract the attention of everyone, “Everyone, put down your work. I have two disciplinary matters to settle.” Looking at Tian Bin, “Little Tian, although you are injured, I still need to give you a verbal reprimand. I have already received your self-reflective essay. Your att.i.tude is pretty good. In consideration of your hard work and working att.i.tude in the past, only one month of your bonus will be deducted. Never again!”

Tian Bin promised, “It won’t happen again.”

“Also, Zhang Ye.” Although Zhang Ye had been dealt with, Zhao Guozhou suddenly went back on his word. “Little Zhang, your behavior was extremely bad. You used vulgarities and not only did you scold your own colleague, you even scolded the listeners who have always been supportive of us. You have caused an indelible effect on our station. The station’s management are also taking this very seriously and have decided to revoke Zhang Ye’s position as the host of “Late-night Ghost Stories”. He will become a stand-in host. The position will be taken up by Tian Bin. Here, I also want to warn everyone to remember that every word and action you do is representative of our station’s image!”

Many people had already guessed it!

However, there were still people who could not believe that the punishment dealt to Zhang Ye was so severe!

Tian Bin was the most delighted person amongst them all. He immediately said, “Thank you, Leader. I promise that I will not disappoint the trust the station has put in me!”

Zhang Ye also never expected the station to be ruthless. “Director Zhao, then will ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’ be taken off-air?”

Zhao Guozhou said indifferently, “Why would it be taken off-air? Haven’t you already finished recording? Once ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’ ends its broadcast, the next ghost story will be broadcasted by Tian Bin!”

Finished recording?

This was pretty much slaughtering the donkey after it has done its job at the mill!

Zhang Ye was vexed. This bro had worked overtime until 2-3 A.M. in the night every day over the past few days. He nearly did it without rest, but all he got in return was this? Not giving me the royalties I deserve, removing me from my post, yet still continuing to use my program to gain listeners.h.i.+p for the station? One shouldn’t kill after one has apologized! But what could he say? He was without any background or power. He could say nothing and could only blame himself. He had used vulgarities on Weibo, causing others to have something on him. Zhang Ye was a person who had a good memory. In the future, if he encountered something on the internet like this again, he would definitely…definitely carry on cursing!

This was Zhang Ye!

No one could stop him with something he wanted to do!

“I have finished announcing the disciplinary matters. That would be all.” Zhao Guozhou was about to leave.

At this moment, no one expected w.a.n.g Xiaomei to stand forward, “Director Zhao, I saw the Weibo incident too. Even though Teacher Zhang had his faults, this matter was instigated by Teacher Tian. If the punishment for Teacher Zhang was so severe, I think it should be done so equally. We shouldn’t let Teacher Tian go on a segment, right?”

Zhang Ye was a rookie who had no experience. His performance was just above-average. However, w.a.n.g Xiaomei was different. She was the number one person of the Literature Channel. She was also a supporting pillar of the Beijing Radio Station. The words she said certainly had pull!

Tian Bin’s face flushed red and white. However, he did not dare open his mouth, as it wasn’t his time and place.

Zhao Guozhou stared deeply at w.a.n.g Xiaomei, “Teacher Xiaomei, no matter what problems Little Tian has, he did not scold anyone. He had still paid attention to the repercussions.”

w.a.n.g Xiaomei said, “Then I think this punishment is not fair. If Teacher Tian can go on segment, then Teacher Zhang should be given a chance to mend his ways.”

Teacher Feng hesitated before looking up, “My “Old and Young Story Club” is about to be axed. I heard that the station has arranged for other segments to replace it. However, there should be about a dozen or so more episodes to be recorded. I have already begun the retirement procedures last week. It is quite pointless for me to host it any further. Why not let Teacher Little Zhang host my segment? I’m already old. My body is also not good. I really don’t have the energy to carry on broadcasting.”

Zhao Guozhou’s eyebrows ticked, “Old Feng, there should be a beginning and an end. You have already broadcast your segment for five years. You want to give up at the final critical moment?”

Teacher Feng sighed, “I think it’s best to hand it over to the young people. I only want to retire peacefully now.”

After a few seconds of silence, Zhao Guozhou could only say, “Alright, then. In that case, tomorrow, Little Zhang will host ‘Old and Young Story Club’.” Since the segment had only about a dozen days left, it was pretty meaningless.

Tian Bin and many others felt the same, too. It was meaningless.

However, Zhang Ye did not agree. At this moment, he felt warmth in his heart. An indescribable feeling surged from deep within his heart. He had never expected that someone would help him at this moment. After Zhao Guozhou left, Zhang Ye rushed to w.a.n.g Xiaomei’s table, “Teacher w.a.n.g, thank you very much.”

w.a.n.g Xiaomei said without expression, “You had helped me relieve the problem on my program last time. Treat it as me returning the favor.”

“Thank you.” After saying that, Zhang Ye went to Teacher Feng, “Teacher Feng, thank you very much. I really do not know what to say.”

Teacher Feng laughed, “Retiring tomorrow is also retiring. Retiring a dozen days later is also retiring. What difference is that to me? You don’t have to thank me. In fact, I can’t help you much. You are, in my opinion, the best sapling in the station. Don’t blame me for always nagging you. In fact, I actually like that bad temper of yours. You are identical to when I was young. Hehe. I also do not wish to see you being put down like that. My segment will be handed over to you tomorrow. This segment is my child. You must treat it well. Even though it will be taken off-air in a dozen or so episodes, you must do it diligently. Can you agree to that?”

Immediately, Zhang Ye felt a heavy burden. He said confidently, “I can agree to that!”
