Chapter 127: When Ye Bai returns home, the villagers welcome him
Hangzhou Satellite TV, Director’s Office.
Station director Xiao Jiading watched the program "Listen to Different Voices" become an instant hit and was so jealous that his eyes almost burst into flames.
The content of the program edited into short videos has received an astonishing number of clicks.
The number of likes and comments under each short video is enough to verify its popularity.
In contrast to that.
A ratings report from Hangzhou Satellite TV was placed in front of Xiao Jiading. He turned his head after just one glance. The bleak data was unbearable to look at.
Since the "Expert Advice" column was cancelled, the station has never produced any good programs, and its ratings have plummeted, making the already poor TV station even worse.
well...
Thinking of this, Xiao Jiading sighed deeply. Who should be blamed?
If I hadn't been short-sighted and forced Ye Bai to resign, maybe the "Expert Advice" column would still be doing well now, and how could "Listen to Different Voices" take the lead!
But there is no regret medicine in the world.
The official praise from China People's Daily was like a huge slap on Xiao Jiading's face, making him almost unable to breathe in pain.
Just as he was sinking into such regretful and helpless thoughts, there was a knock on the office door from outside.
Giggles
After coming back to his senses, he weakly shouted: "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the person who came in was director Meng Gang. His expression was worried, and it seemed that something had happened to him.
"Director, there is something I want to tell you."
Xiao Jiading nodded to him and asked him to sit down on the sofa and talk.
Both of them seemed to be in a bad mood, filled with an inexplicable sense of depression.
After taking a deep breath, Meng Gang seemed to have mustered up the courage to speak.
"Director, the current situation in the TV station is not very optimistic. People are panicking. Do we have to think of a solution?"
"Oh? Do you have any ideas?"
After hearing Meng Gang's words, Xiao Jiading didn't know that the situation of the TV station was now in a precarious state.
But what can you do if you know?
It's not that easy to create an eye-catching program, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry so much.
"Station Director, you also know that Ye Bai has been very popular since he became the anchor. In addition, he has been in the limelight recently. Can we give him a call and see if he is willing to come back to the station to help?
"
Hearing this, Xiao Jiading gave a bitter smile and said, "If you were Ye Bai, would you come back to the TV station?"
"this..."
Meng Gang hesitated for a moment, knowing in his heart that the chance of Ye Bai being willing to come back was very slim.
"You have to give it a try, just in case he is willing to come back."
Shaking his head, director Xiao Jiading rejected the proposal and just added in a hoarse voice.
"Okay, it's useless to think about this now. The TV station may need to slim down, so you can spend more time thinking about new programs."
Although Meng Gang was surprised when he heard what the station director said, he also understood that it was a reasonable thing.
To put it bluntly, a TV station is an enterprise. When its performance declines, it will naturally consider layoffs or something to reduce its burden and maintain basic operations.
"Okay, Director. I'll go out first!"
After a long silence, Meng Gang nodded and left first.
He couldn't help but recall the scene when Ye Bai was still hosting "Expert Advice" and the ratings were rising steadily.
Unlike now, morale is low and there are layoffs.
However, everyone must bear the consequences of their choices and pay the price.
At that time, both the station director and him asked Ye Bai to give up his position and cater to the experts, which was the fate he was in today.
Who made them narrow-minded and unable to look at Ye Bai's characteristics and flow from a developmental perspective?
When you click on the short video on your mobile phone, you can see Ye Bai's excellent performance in "Listen to Different Voices" everywhere.
Meng Gang's eyes darkened, he closed his phone, and finally accepted this reality feebly. No matter how unwilling he was, it was of no use.
...
On the other side, after participating in the first episode of "Listen to Different Voices", Ye Bai rushed home in the dust.
Along the way, he sneezed several times and thought he was catching a cold because he was too tired.
Little did he know that he was actually missed countless times by people from his old club.
This time, due to his outstanding performance on the show, he received likes from China People's Daily on Weibo.
When Ye Bai returned to the village entrance, he was really shocked by the scene in front of him.
I saw that the entrance to the village was crowded with people.
To describe it in four words, it’s like water can’t flow through.
The village chief, secretary, his parents and many villagers stood at the entrance of the village to welcome him. Those who didn't know thought that some big leader from the village had come.
He quickly got out of the car and walked over with a smile on his face under the eager eyes of the villagers.
"Village chief, secretary, parents, what are you... why did you come out like this? I was shocked."
Ye Bai has always been a low-key person, and he really couldn't get used to the scene in front of him.
"Oh, Ye Bai, you are finally back."
Village chief Wang Zhenbo spoke first and said with a smile.
"You went to participate in the program this time. Not only did you help the village get advertising opportunities, but you also got praise from China People's Daily. The villagers felt it was so glorious. They came out to greet you. It was all spontaneous and not specially organized by me.
of!"
After the village chief finished speaking, secretary Wang Qiang hurriedly added.
"Yes, you have made great contributions to the village during this period, and the villagers are very grateful. Knowing that you are coming back today, we have prepared a surprise for you. Do you know what it is?"
surprise?
Hearing this sentence, Ye Bai was a little confused. What kind of surprise?
Seeing Ye Bai's expression, the villagers coaxed him even more and laughed out loud. They were so happy.
A few villagers standing close even shouted, "Ye Bai, guess what!"
"Yeah, it's easy to guess, please guess it!"
How to guess this?
Ye Bai could only turn his eyes for help to his parents to see if he could find the answer from them.
His parents saw their son's dumbfounded expression and laughed from ear to ear. After a while, they said, "Let's go have a meal."
"The folks have specially prepared a big meal today for everyone to celebrate together."
Now, Ye Bai finally understood what this surprise was.
Ye Bai nodded happily, and followed the villagers to the place where they were eating.
The pomp here is extremely grand, with lanterns and colorful decorations, and dozens of large round tables filled with sumptuous dishes.
This meal not only represents the villagers' gratitude and respect to Ye Bai, but also includes the achievements and commendations he has achieved on this show!
At the banquet, everyone was singing and laughing, and everyone had a great time.
Because under Ye Bai's leadership, their poor village has slowly improved.
Now, everyone is full of hope and longing for the future.
And all of this is inseparable from Ye Bai, a humble, polite and upright young man...
