Chapter 134 - An Alarming Rating! (1/2)

Friday.

Zhang Ye rested for a day.

Upon being informed by Xiao Lu, he switched on his television at home, and then tuned to the Arts Channel.

“Beijing’s BTV Arts Channel’s new segment, ‘Lecture Room’. Inviting Beijing’s well-known broadcasting host, Silver Microphone awardee, Beijing Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meet’s champion, Beijing Couplet Compet.i.tion’s champion, famous poet, famous literary author, famous children’s fairy tale author, famous supernatural best-selling author, famous advertiser, leader of the popular phrases on the internet, Teacher Zhang Ye. With him as lecturer, he will let us have a taste of the period of the warring Three Kingdoms. He will tell everyone things you might not know about the Three Kingdoms. BTV-Arts. We look forward to you watching, this Thursday at 1 P.M.!”

There were so many t.i.tles that Zhang Ye turned a bit red from hearing them. And nearly all of them were prefixed with the word ‘famous’. Although Zhang Ye did have these works and achievements, he knew clearly that he was far from worthy of these t.i.tles with the word ‘famous’. He did not dare to accept it. However, it was an advertis.e.m.e.nt. There was no other way of doing it. Advertis.e.m.e.nts were all done this way. They had to use some gimmicks to attract the attention of eyeb.a.l.l.s before the broadcast.

This was the advertis.e.m.e.nt of his own channel.

Hence, it did not spare anything in bragging about Zhang Ye.

At this moment on the internet, a few video websites released advertis.e.m.e.nts for “Lecture Room”. This was all because of Hu Fei. As a pretty well-known former producer of Central TV, he was definitely given some preferential treatment after being headhunted by the Beijing Television Station. Of course, the station gave him quite a bit of advertising for his new segment, both online and offline. They had done their best!

Everything was ready.

Now, only tomorrow’s rating mattered!

Zhang Ye also knew of the Leader’s att.i.tude from Hu Fei. If the rating was not ideal, then he might not have a chance to be the lecturer for “Lecture Room”. The program was likely to return to the initial template from before. Zhang Ye would then return to being a host that only appeared from time to time. Hou Ge, Xiao Lu and the other colleagues had their hearts strung. However, Zhang Ye did not feel the pressure, or it could be said he was not worried at all!

It was just a provincial station’s 1% rating!

What segment was this? This was “Lecture Room”!

Although Zhang Ye did not know how high the ratings would be, he was certain that it would not be below 1%. If it was, he might as well jump into a river!

Sat.u.r.day.

In the afternoon at 12 o’clock.

Zhang Ye had prepared something to fill his stomach before he met his unit’s colleagues, to watch the broadcast together. However, while he was rummaging through his refrigerator, someone suddenly knocked on his door.

Knock, knock.

The knocking on the door was very slow and very dull.

Zhang Ye opened the door and did not see anyone at first glance. Only when he lowered his head did he see a very short girl. It was Rao Chenchen.

Chenchen glanced at him, “My aunt is calling you over for lunch.”

Zhang Ye was overjoyed, “I happen to not have eaten. Let’s go, let’s go.”

The two went to the landlady’s house. Rao Aimin was taking off her ap.r.o.n and had finished cooking. Seeing Zhang Ye, she greeted with him with a, “Let’s eat!”

“Well, thank you, Landlady Auntie.” Zhang Ye did not stand on ceremony as he picked up a pair of chopsticks to wolf down the food.

Rao Aimin derided him, “Look at the way you eat. Were you reborn from a starving ghost? I’m telling you that I need to go out in the afternoon to settle the residential information for Chenchen. It was not settled the last time, so I need to go again. I won’t be home, so help me babysit. I do not trust others.”

Zhang Ye smiled wryly, “Man, so this meal wasn’t for free. Landlady Auntie, I won’t be resting today. I still need to go to work in the afternoon.”

Rao Aimin picked her eyebrow, “I don’t care about that. Anyway, the child is in your hands.”

Zhang Ye said helplessly, “But how can I bring the child to the television station?”

At this moment, Chenchen looked at him and said with a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Television station? I want to see!”

“There’s nothing to see there. It’s all office and equipment!” Zhang Ye said.

Chenchen ignored his words and stared at him, “Zhang Ye, bring me to see the television station.”

“You guys figure it out. I don’t care.” After finis.h.i.+ng the meal, Rao Aimin packed her things and left.

Zhang Ye was at a loss of whether to laugh or to cry. He could not leave Chenchen alone at home, so after some thinking, he drove his BMW X5 with Chenchen to his unit.

Television station’s door.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Ye reached out his hand with his palm facing up.

Chenchen looked at him before reluctantly placing her tiny hand into Zhang Ye’s.

Zhang Ye brought the little rascal upstairs. On the way, many of the television station’s staff looked over at Chenchen. They liked her a lot.

“She’s so pretty!”

“Eh, whose kid is that?”

“Why is she so cute? I really want to pinch her.”

“Eh, isn’t that Zhang Ye? He has a kid?”

Upstairs, in the segment team’s office. Zhang Ye led the child in as the office turned into chaos!

Xiao Lu seemed to melt, “Aiyo, aiyo. This kid is so pretty!”

Zhang Ye explained, “My neighbor’s child. She has something to do in the afternoon and got me to take care of her for a day, so I brought her to the unit.” Looking at Hu Fei, he said coyly, “Leader, your thoughts?”

Hu Fei laughed, “It’s alright. There’re so many of us here anyway. When you are recording the program, others can help you take care of the child.”

Zhang Ye glanced at Chenchen and smiled wryly, “I suspect I’ll have to take care of her. Others can’t handle her.”

Xiao Lu smiled and walked over, “What do you mean by others can’t handle her? I’m very good at taking care of children. Back then, I took care of my young nephew for a week. He had a great time with me.” Saying that, she bent down and said to Chenchen, “Little rascal, you are so cute. Let sister carry you.”

Chenchen glanced at her, “Auntie, there’s no need.”

Xiao Lu nearly fainted, “Who’s the auntie? I’m a sister!”

Chenchen eyed her from top to bottom a few times before letting out a laugh, “Hur Hur.”
