Chapter 103 - Colleagues Realize Zhang Ye’s Glorious Deeds! (2/2)
“Then how did you buy such an expensive car? Didn’t you only work for a few months? Didn’t you just graduate from college?” Hou Di asked in bewilderment.
Zhang Ye did not say much, “I was lucky enough to make some money.”
The twins, Hou Di and Hou Ge stared into each other’s eyes. They began to feel that this person was a bit mysterious.
The car reached the television station.
When they got out of the car and entered the station, they saw a similar scene from before. When a few people saw Zhang Ye, it was as if they saw a ghost from a supernatural novel. They were shocked and frightened.
“I’ll go to the restroom. You guys go ahead.” Zhang Ye left first.
Seeing people still pointing at Zhang Ye’s back, Hou Ge finally could not resist and went forward, “Brothers, what’s up with that person?”
“Ah? Weren’t all of you together?” a television station employee asked.
Hou Ge blinked, “We are together. He is our colleague. But why are all of you looking at him? Did you know him previously? Who is he?”
Another employee gave a wry smile, “Still colleagues? You don’t even know Zhang Ye? Even if you didn’t go to the Golden Microphone Awards in person, you should have heard of this name. Are you new here? And you were not part of the radio and television circles?”
Hou Ge, Xiao Lu and company never expected to be read in a glance.
Hou Ge said, “Eh, how can you tell?”
The employee said, “Who can’t? Few people in this circle would not know Zhang Ye. Since you don’t know, I’ll tell you. This person is no ordinary person. He wrote a novel, ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’, and has written many poems, such as ‘Flying Bird and Fish’ and some ‘if you are living well, then the skies are clear’, and that ‘See Me or Not’ and that ‘Shuidiao Getou’, and that “This is also Everything”. Right, recently there’s a very popular funny short story about working hard to buy a house that was also written by him.”
Hou Ge exclaimed, “‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’ was written by him? What the heck! I just bought the hard copy book yesterday! That novel is too awesome! I, I didn’t notice the author’s name!”
Xiao Lu’s eyes dimmed, “He wrote ‘Flying Bird and Fish’? It’s that ‘The furthest distance in the world’? What the f**k! I love that poem so much! Why is it written by Zhang Ye!?”
The employee was speechless, “If it’s not written by him, then who wrote it? The things that happened at the Silver Microphone Awards just a while ago.. I guess you have not heard of it?”
“No, we just started working a few days ago.” Hou Ge quickly asked, “What happened?”
The employee explained, “Zhang Ye is famous in the system not because of his well-written novels and poems, but because of his guts. During the award acceptance speech at the award ceremony, Zhang Ye had used a ‘Dead Water’ poem to publicly curse his unit and Leaders. He offended people greatly. He even made one of the unit’s Leaders faint on the spot. It took all day to revive him. So do you think such a divine person can’t be famous? So when we saw Zhang Ye at our television station, we were all surprised. I still want to ask you. Why did the station hire him?”
Afternoon.
Work time.
Zhang Ye went back to the small office in the Arts Channel from the restroom. He sat down and busied himself. But even after waiting for a while, his colleagues still had not returned. He did not know what they were doing.
Only ten minutes later did they return to the office.
Zhang Ye looked up and went to the water dispenser, “Do you want to drink cold or hot water?”
Hou Ge nearly jumped up and hurried forward, “Don’t move, don’t move. I’ll do it, Little Zhang… No, Teacher Little Zhang. You sit down, you sit down!”
Zhang Ye tried to do it, “No, I’m a newcomer. This should be done by me.”
Xiao Lu also came to pull on him, “Teacher Zhang, please sit down. Let me do these ch.o.r.es. Don’t put us to shame. We failed to recognize a great person. You aren’t a newcomer. It’s just the ignorant us that haven’t heard of you because we aren’t from this circle.”
Zhang Ye was not used to it, “Please don’t. I’m not famous. Even if I am, it’s just notoriety.”
“What do you mean, not famous?” Hou Ge said, “I’ve been reading ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’ for the past two days and two nights. It’s too awesome. Yesterday, I even told my brother that the person who wrote ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’ was too formidable. I never expected to meet you today. Hai, it was all my fault previously. Please don’t fault me!”
Now, they had completely understood Zhang Ye’s deeds and knew why Hu Fei valued Zhang Ye so much that he would pull in a person with such average looks onto his team. So this person had so many “glorious deeds” in the past. The person that they thought was a rookie, a rookie they wanted to repress, a rookie they wanted to order around to do ch.o.r.es, was actually this famous!
Suppressing a rookie?
Teaching a rookie a lesson?
Afraid he would revolt?
Just thinking of his initial thoughts made Hou Ge feel at a loss of whether to laugh or to cry. With Zhang Ye’s qualifications and bad temper, who knew who was the one trampling on who. Thankfully, they had realized this early. If they had offended Zhang Ye later, just a casual poem by him would make them famous, as they would be d.a.m.ned to death!
Who was Zhang Ye?
He was a person who dared to curse his unit and Leaders!
They had even just searched online for Zhang Ye’s information and realized that the newest “This is also Everything” was specially used to smack their Arts Channel’s w.a.n.g Shuixin. The person known as the “Face Smacking Specialist” was him! He even dared to trample on Director w.a.n.g! Who else did he not dare to trample on?
