The office was in a tizzy!
The people of the program teams at Central TV Department 1 called out by Zhang Ye—whether the directors, editors, or hosts—all came looking for Zhang Ye to denounce him! If it were any other person who criticized their programs, they wouldn't be able to find them. But Zhang Ye's Weibo account was a verified one that everyone knew about. A colleague of theirs who was working in the same building, could it be impossible to find him!?
"Old Ha, where is your Director Zhang?"
"Zhang Zuo, tell your executive director to come out here!"
"No one does things the way he does!"
"I've been at Central TV for many years, but I-I've never come across such a shameless person before!"
Emboldened by the fact that they had more people on their side, they were shouting for Zhang Ye to show himself. The shouting here also alerted a few other program team offices opposite The Voice's. Some of the people from those program teams probably did not know about what had happened yet, but they were already stealing glances and pointing as they whispered among themselves.
"Did something happen over there?"
"Why did they start fighting over there? Did Zhang Ye do something again?"
"You all should take a look on Weibo."
"Weibo?"
"Zhang Ye bombarded quite a few programs of Central TV Department 1!"
"Ah? Publicly criticizing over Weibo? He even dares to do that?"
"Listen to what you're saying. What does Zhang Ye not dare to do?"
"Fuck, you're right."
At this moment, under the watchful gazes of everyone, Zhang Ye came out of his office.
When he saw that there were so many people, Zhang Ye was also slightly taken aback. Then he smiled and said, "Whoa, why is it so lively here? What's going on?"
The AD of Into the Universe shouted, "Stop playing dumb!"
Zhang Ye blinked. "Playing dumb?"
Beside him, another person from the same program team reacted by gently tugging back the AD a bit. Even if they were angry, Zhang Ye had been given the cold storage treatment by Central TV Department 1. However, Zhang Ye was still the same as before and his reputation was still kicking. Actually, if it weren't for him having offended so many people at once this time by scolding all of those program teams together, no one would have wanted to be the first ones to step up against him. Who didn't know that Zhang Ye wasn't someone they could afford to offend? Just look at those leaders of Central TV Department 1. Weren't they still busy clearing all those lawsuits brought up by those ex-employees of Central TV? Furthermore, no matter how down and out Zhang Ye was at Central TV Department 1, he was still the executive director, overall planner, and host of the top-top-rated variety show in the country. Their own shows did not even earn a fraction of The Voice's ratings, so when faced with a legend like Zhang Ye and his team, they still had some reverence for him.
The executive director of Traveling the World scoffed, "Don't tell me you've forgotten about the things that you posted on Weibo just half an hour ago. Your memory can't be that bad!"
Zhang Ye realized what they were talking about. "Oh, that."
Another person said, "Zhang Ye, you went too far! What makes you think you can scold our shows like that?"
Zhang Ye wondered, "Did I scold you guys? As your fellow peer and colleague, I only had some expectations for the shows that everyone here made. That was why I commented a little about them. When did I ever scold you?"
"Is that what you call commenting?" A youth said angrily, "Is telling someone to wear long johns on camera a comment!?"
Someone else said, "You also know that we're colleagues? Since we're all working at Department 1 together, why did you come and criticize one of your own? Those criticisms can come from anyone, anyone but our own! Otherwise, when our audience sees this, what would they think?"
When those words were said, many of the 30-odd people present here immediately blushed, with some coughing uncomfortably.
Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others were sneering at them from the side.
Colleagues?
One of your own?
You dare say those words with that mouth of yours!
When Director Zhang was being restrained and treated that way by the Central TV Department 1 heads, being coerced into giving up his overseas copyright of The Voice and ended up facing the entire Central TV Department 1 in a lawsuit all by himself, what were all of you doing? You kicked him while he was down! Currying favor with the executives! Standing alongside Jiang Naixiong and Jiang Yuan to condemn Director Zhang! Colleagues? One of your own? Bull fucking shit! Since you guys already made the decision to denounce Director Zhang, then you should've been prepared for the day you would be targeted as well!
Ha Qiqi could no longer bear to listen. "It's office hours right now. Instead of working, what are you doing here in our office? What's all the shouting for? Are you competing to see whose voice is louder?"
But Zhang Ye did not seem to mind and just gave a smile. "Sister Ha, it's fine. Let them say what they want."
The AD of Chen Ye Interviews was one of the more well-qualified to speak on behalf of the group. With Chen Ye's position as one of the pillars of Central TV Department 1, their show was considered one of the more popular interview programs and also a branded program of Central TV Department 1. That was why when he spoke, it sounded much more confident as well. "Zhang Ye, no one does things the way you do! You can't indiscriminately scold our shows that way. That's basically causing trouble! You are purposely smearing our shows that way! That's an extremely underhanded move! Go on, just go on and revel all you want for now. We'll definitely bring this up to the executives! By taking advantage of your appeal to the audience and stabbing us in the back with such toxic behavior, the execs will surely deal with you severely! They'll punish you!"
"That's right!"
"Such behavior is too wicked!"
"They must definitely punish you!"
"Well said! Let's go together, everyone! We will report this to the execs together!"
"Right, if that sort of behavior is not severely punished, then what else would need punishing!?"
