Chapter 246 - Zhang Ye’s Ratings Legend Continues! (1/2)

After reading all the reviews.

He made a few calls.

Zhang Ye’s few cousins, the television station’s old Leader, Hu Fei, the radio station’s old Leader Zhao Guozhou as well as his old colleagues such as w.a.n.g Xiaomei, Xiao Lu, Dafei and company who Zhang Ye informed about the broadcast of his show all called back and proposed some small suggestions. For example: the way Zhang Ye stood, as this was not like “Lecture Room” where he stood straight, facing the camera. Furthermore, in “Zhang Ye’s a.n.a.lysis of the Three Kingdoms”, there was still a lecture podium for him. However, for the recording of “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show”, there were some side profile shots and shots from top down. Hence, the way he stood was very important. Where he placed his hand was also important. Zhang Ye readily took in their suggestions.

Of course, most of the phone calls that came here were that of praise and congratulations.

“Teacher Zhang, congratulations!”

“What’s there to congratulate me about?”

“Your program has. .h.i.t it big. Your future will be boundless!”

“Hai, I still don’t know the results yet. I’ll need to see the hit rate later.”

“I guarantee you that it won’t be low. In the future, when you become famous, remember to take care of me. I’ll be prepared to pack and follow your tail. Hehe.”

“Sure, I would wish for that, but Brother Hu needs to let you go.”

Zhang Ye had a nice chat with his old colleague Xiao Lu from the television station before hanging up to take a look at the click numbers of “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show”. But due to some delay or technical problem, the numbers were not immediately refreshed. The number of clicks for the program was still zero, so he couldn’t tell.

He was feeling anxious!

Hurry up and refres.h.!.+

Zhang Ye had done everything that he could. Now, all he waited for was the final outcome. Could people accept such a talk show program that had never appeared before? On this matter, it would be a lie if Zhang Ye was not worried about it. Anything new would need a gradual process for people to get familiar with it. Like in his world, talk shows had been developed for decades in foreign markets before they were broadcast domestically, allowing the people to get familiarized with it. However, this world never had such a foundation, so even though he was confident, his heart was still playing with drums. The only good news was that the talk on the internet about “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show” was very good!

It was almost 9.

Ding Dong. The doorbell suddenly rang.

Zhang Ye said as he walked over, “Who is it?”

“Me,” It was Dong Shanshan’s s.e.xy voice from outside.

“Hmm? Don’t you have a key?” Zhang Ye opened the door for her. Only after seeing her did he understand. The school belle’s hands were full. There was a large plastic bag in each hand. It was filled with vegetables and meat. “Hey, why did you buy so much?” He hurriedly stretched out his hands to help carry it for her.

Dong Shanshan panted and then stretched her sore arm with a smile, “We’ve been busy these past few days. You worked overtime at work without coming home. I’ve also been coming home pretty late sometimes. We haven’t eaten together in a while. With your program broadcasting today, we must have a good meal, so as to celebrate for you, as well as to celebrate my “Online Talents” early, hoping it will be smooth and have a soaring number of hits. You haven’t eaten yet, right?”

“No, I just woke up.” Zhang Ye felt a craving after seeing the groceries. “There’s even fish? Hey, I haven’t eaten that in a long while. Great, then I’ll give you a hand. It’s almost 9.”

Dong Shanshan said, “Alright, I’ll need your help today. Wash the vegetables.”

“Sure, leave it to me.” Zhang Ye went to the sink to busy himself.

Dong Shanshan smirked while entering the kitchen. She rolled up her sleeves to begin preparing the carp. As she removed the innards, she looked sideways and said, “I saw on my cellphone on the way back. Your program is receiving many commendations on the internet. I saw that there was even an industry insider who pushed you to the forefront of the country! But that is indeed true. Such a new program that has never appeared in the world, it really has risen to the occasion for our country’s entertainment variety industry!”

Zhang Ye laughed, “No matter how much kudos I get, it’s just the minority. What I want to know is the number of clicks it gets. That is the actual reaction. After all, no matter how good a program is, it will definitely not receive the approval of everyone. They might not like it. Well, the click numbers haven’t appeared yet, as it just finished airing twenty minutes ago. I think that it will be out once we finish eating. Let’s hope it breaks a million.”

In his world, talk shows had a wider audience demographic than historical programs like “Lecture Room”. However, it was not considered a program that was very well liked by the ma.s.ses. One could tell from the ratings. It was still on a different level compared to the top variety programs that quaked the entire country with 2-3% ratings. Hence, Zhang Ye did not have extremely high expectations. He would be content with breaking a million clicks for the first episode. Besides, if it pa.s.sed a million, the bet he had before with Dong Shanshan would come into effect. They had previously made a bet that if Zhang Ye’s program broke a million clicks, Dong Shanshan would lose a kiss to him.

Fish stew.

Stir-fried vegetables.

After busying themselves all day, they finally could eat.

“Here, try my cooking.” Dong Shanshan said.

“Sure, let me try. Oh, delicious!” Zhang Ye praised.

Dong Shanshan said, “I seldom make fish, as I’m not very good at it. Make do with it.”

Zhang Ye smiled. “It’s pretty good; just a bit sour. But I like to eat sour stuff. Here, here, here. You eat, too. You’ve been busy all day.”

Dong Shanshan was wearing a 7-8 cm high heel that was waterproof. She took off her ap.r.o.n and revealed a deep cleavage that was situated in between two snow-white lumps of meat. After returning home, Dong Shanshan had taken off her outerwear and had not switched to pajamas. She wore a pair of black pants that clung tightly to her body as well as a red low-cut top. The neckline was very wide, so although her bra was barely hidden, it appeared that she would end up exposing herself at any moment. It seemed like if she used a bit more strength, her bra would be revealed, but yet he couldn’t see it. It was very tempting.

Covetousness!

A beauty to feast his eyes!

Zhang Ye glanced at her chest a few times before lowering his head to look her two legs that were clinging tightly to the black pants. That b.u.t.t of hers was so perky. He really wanted to pinch it. Without knowing it, he had finished a big bowl of rice already!

Dong Shanshan flicked the hair off her shoulders and ate a mouthful of fish, “Oh, it’s still alright.”

Zhang Ye put down his bowl and began to eat the dishes.

Dong Shanshan gave him a look, “Oh, you eat pretty fast?”

“Yeah, I’m starving.” Zhang Ye said apologetically.

Dong Shanshan spoke as she munched on the fish and then stood up, “Give me the bowl. I’ll scoop you…Aiyah!” She had not changed shoes after returning home, so she was still in her high heels. So when she got up, she missed her footing. Gulu, the fish and a few bones in her mouth were subconsciously swallowed. Dong Shanshan’s face turned pale as she immediately covered her mouth, “Oh! Aiyah!”

Zhang Ye hurriedly said, “What, what?”

“Bone…stuck!” Dong Shanshan inhaled.

“Quick, drink some vinegar!” Zhang Ye rushed to the kitchen to get a bottle of vinegar for her. He was also very worried. Because as a broadcast host, he knew that the most important thing in their line of work was their throat. It was something that fed them, so they could not lose it.

Dong Shanshan bit the bullet and drank a mouthful, “Doesn’t…work.”

Zhang Ye went over and said, “Open your mouth for me. Where is it stuck?”

“A few…bones…in larynx!” Dong Shanshan opened her mouth for him to take a look.

Carps were fish that had a lot more bones, and they were mostly “Y”-shaped bones. The moment one got stuck, it would be quite troublesome as it would be latched on.

Zhang Ye lowered his head as he looked into her throat. “Raise up your head a bit more. There’s light here. I can’t see with it dark here. Right, a bit more. Alright, I see it! There was already a bone that had gone right in, leaving a tiny bit outside! Thankfully, it has not entered your gullet. It’s at the mouth to your throat!”

Dong Shanshan closed her eyes, trying to spit.

“Don’t.” Zhang Ye stopped her, “If you swallow and it enters your esophagus, it would be troublesome. You… Eh, I’ll get you a pair of chopsticks.”

Dong Shanshan nodded and opened her mouth again.

Zhang Ye sticked a pair of chopsticks into her mouth and tried to find the correct lighting before picking the first bone. However, as the chopstick were too big and inflexible, they could not pinch the bone, as they was too clumsy. The moment he touched it out of luck, it skidded past it!

This touch caused it to stab the school belle, causing her to wail in pain.

Zhang Ye did not dare to make any rash moves anymore, “Why don’t I use my fingers to pinch it out?”

Dong Shanshan urged him, “Hurry… It’s.. very.. painful!”

Zhang Ye had washed his hands before eating, but no longer cared to wash them again. He bent his back and half-squatted to be on the same level as Dong Shanshan. His thumb and index fingers entered the school belle’s soft and seductive lips. He was naturally a lot more precise using his finger, so he managed to pinch the first bone immediately. Taking it out, his fingers were stained with Dong Shanshan’s saliva. He threw the bones on a piece of napkin before reaching into her mouth again.

The second bone was harder to find, as he had to take a long time.

Other than the saliva on his fingers, her tongue was pressing on his fingers. Her tongue was not very big, but it was quite thick. It was soft and hot.

Being distracted, he could not help but glance down. From his position, he could already see the bra down Dong Shanshan’s neckline!

It was dark blue!

And there was lace, too!

Maybe it was because she wore a bra that was larger today, so it was unable to completely wrap around her flesh. The bra was slightly opening outwards. Naturally, Zhang Ye lucked out seeing the white scene inside it.

Zhang Ye focused again as he began trying to get the bones out as he endured the temptation.

The next moment, the bone was pinched. However, this time, it stabbed into Dong Shanshan’s throat making her smooth and small tongue to jerk upwards in a reflex motion. Zhang Ye felt his fingers being wrapped by her tongue. Even the tip of her tongue had licked his palm, as it was smeared with the school belle’s saliva.

Zhang Ye ignored her retching, and pushed his hand in to barely grab the bone and pull it out in one fell swoop.  “…It’s done!

Dong Shanshan coughed a few times before swallowing her saliva, and then she exhaled.

“Are there anymore bones?” Zhang Ye asked.

“No, thanks.” Dong Shanshan went into the bathroom. “I’ll rinse my mouth.”

Zhang Ye looked at his sticky fingers. There were still saliva on it that was rolling down. He quickly went into the kitchen to wash his hands.

A minute later, the both of them sat back down to carry on with their meal.

Dong Shanshan laughed, “Next time, you can’t talk while eating fish.”

“It was such a coincidence. Take off your shoes. The heels are too high,” Zhang Ye suggested.

“Indeed, I was so engrossed in cooking, as it was late, that I forgot about it.” Dong Shanshan did not go to the door to take a pair of slippers. Instead, she bent down and took off her heels and placed them by the side. She stepped on the wooden floor with her bare feet. As she had just wiped the floor yesterday, it wasn’t dirty.
