Chapter 8: Attempting the "Bad Luck Sticker"

Just as Zhang Ye was about to get up and leave work, the task he had been eagerly awaiting for a week finally arrived

Everyone in the office area looked on with curiosity, their eyes wide in surprise, yet no one intervened to break up the commotion

Zhang Ye said: "What does it mean to give me?"

The two had a fierce argument, neither willing to back down, and it was only after the intervention of several senior colleagues in the office that they were finally stopped. In fact, everyone was well aware of Tian Bin's notorious habit of gossiping behind people's backs and understood that Zhang Ye would not make such statements without reason. Moreover, Zhang Ye was hired specifically to serve as a substitute host. Tian Bin not only neglected to mentor the newcomers but also made them do various tasks to help share his workload. After the newcomers completed their tasks, he still did not allow them to appear on the program. This was indeed quite unreasonable; anyone in that position would feel frustrated!

Suddenly, Tian Bin came to work. Nighttime programs are usually like this; if they coincide with a live broadcast, the hosts generally arrive at the office in the afternoon or evening

Zhang Ye is applying for a position in broadcasting and hosting, and one day he will have to appear on a program. Now that he has this opportunity, generally, no one would obstruct someone's path; it is merely a casual remark.

Zhang Ye immediately assured, "I have no issues, I am already familiar with the work, you can rest assured!" This is exactly what I was waiting for

Tian Bin pointed at Zhang Ye and said: "You ungrateful brat! I am not letting you go up to protect you! I want you to gain good experience! And you still dare to shout at me? Am I scheming against you behind your back? What a baseless accusation!"

However, Tian Bin's reaction exceeded many people's expectations. He was silent for a few seconds, then frowned and said: "https://m.hetushu.com. He has just arrived here and is not familiar with the business, so let's forget it."

Li Si looked at him and said, "You need to help Brother Tian revise a few paragraphs, all of which involve some political content. The standards for publication and broadcasting are different, so they need to be modified according to the requirements. Also, I still have to do character annotations and other tasks. Tonight's program is live, and there isn't enough time."

You are like the dense smog

Li Si assigned this to you? Tian Bin read it once and said, "Hmm, this is fine, this revision will do." He didn't even say a word of thanks for the hard work.

Zhang Ye suddenly recalled the new item that was drawn in the lottery last week. He was unsure of its efficacy and had not intended to use it. However, since it was available, he might as well give it a try! The game ring would be his future reliance, and he certainly needed to understand the usage and effects of the items within it. If someone were to run into a gun barrel, how could they not experiment? He truly had no idea how this bad luck was manifesting!

The assistant editor was also taken aback and let out a sound of realization

"Xiao Zhang." Someone called him from the side

An assistant from the editorial team bumped into Zhang Ye face-to-face. Upon seeing him, the middle-aged man quickly called out to him, "Xiao Zhang, off work?"

Tian Bin did not expect Zhang Ye to speak to him like this, and angrily said, "Say that again!"

Tian Bin interrupted as if he were an experienced person: "Xiao Zhang, I know you have a professional background and solid fundamental skills, but live broadcasts are different; they test your ability to adapt on the spot. You still have a long way to go. I am saying this for your own good. You should gradually accumulate broadcasting experience." With just a casual remark, he dashed Zhang Ye's opportunity to appear on the program. As for the reason, Tian Bin had certainly noticed the change in Zhang Ye's attitude towards him in recent days; he no longer even called him 'Brother Tian.' Tian Bin sneered inwardly, naturally seizing the opportunity to give him a lesson.

A week has passed

The assistant of the editorial team nodded slightly and then asked Tian Bin, "Teacher Tian, is Xiao Zhang under your guidance? Do you think he is capable? If you see no issues with him, let him give it a try. The program over there is also pressing, and if we are going live soon, we need to start preparing right away."

Zhang Ye was assigned to Tian Bin by his superior; he could not refuse this task. After receiving it, he made some casual modifications.

On that day at noon, Zhang Ye was sitting at his desk eating.

The assistant glanced at the documents in hand and said, "Tonight, in addition to the first live broadcast of 'Late Night Ghost Stories,' there is another live program, which is a prime-time interview segment. We have invited guests, so they require an additional host to help regulate the atmosphere. Currently, you are the only substitute host available at the Arts Channel. Well, I just don't know if you can handle it, considering you have only been here for a week and lack experience in this area. If it were a recorded program, it would be fine; mistakes could be corrected, and we could re-record or edit. But with live broadcasts, that's not the case. Once a problem occurs, it constitutes a broadcasting incident, so I need to confirm this first.

Li Si also rushed to the front and said: "You are a newcomer, how can you talk to Brother Tian? Are you rebelling?"

The assistant editor helplessly put away the column plan and said, "Well then, our station's Teacher Chen doesn't have a program today, right? I'll call Teacher Chen back to make an appearance."

Zhang Ye said coldly: "You and Li Si both know very well what was said back then"

It is almost time to get off work in the afternoon

Zhang Ye looked towards Tian Bin

Zhang Ye has made the revisions and, in doing so, has roughly reviewed the first few chapters of the novel. He finds it quite ordinary and clichéd. It is understood that this book, "Soul Summoning," is currently the most popular supernatural novel, with the simplified version selling like hotcakes. However, when Zhang Ye compares it to the supernatural tomb-raiding novels in his mind, he still sees a significant gap. The supernatural novels in this world are less entertaining and lack the sustained suspense found in tomb-raiding novels. However, after searching online, Zhang Ye realizes that there is no such genre as tomb-raiding novels in this world; no one has ever written them. The novel environment is still in its early stages and is not very rich.

After several days of exploration, Zhang Ye has become familiar with his work, the equipment, and interpersonal relationships. Of course, this was all self-taught, as Tian Bin, who was assigned by the leadership to guide him, hardly paid any attention to him. Once he adapted to the work environment here, Zhang Ye continued to perform his tasks while waiting for an opportunity. He has yet to host a single program, and even a chance to co-host with someone would be welcome. However, among the eight or nine broadcasters at the station, each one is in excellent health, and there hasn't been anyone who has had an accident or encountered any electrical issues. Sigh!

Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Yes."

Well, it certainly doesn't resemble a human

Zhang Ye handed him the revised manuscript, saying, "It has been corrected." He no longer calls him Brother Tian; this fellow holds grudges.

Zhang Ye was immediately annoyed and said, "I am from the Broadcasting Department, I have already learned all the practical courses and am very familiar with it, I can use all the equipment..."

Well, just describe what he looks like

Wait!

Lunch consisted of one bun, one bun, and one bun; after finishing the three buns, one felt full

Li Si set down a stack of A4 paper, "Brother Tian's evening program is going to start a new story. The previous novel 'Ghosts at Midnight' finished recording yesterday, and today we will begin 'Soul Summoning.' The copyright for the novel was negotiated last week, and we plan to record fifty episodes. This is the script for the first two episodes." The task of the phone editor is generally to filter reader calls during live broadcasts, but now most programs are pre-recorded, so the phone editor also does some text editing for various programs. Tian Bin's 'Late Night Ghost Stories' has always been organized by him, and he also does annotations and reviews. However, since most programs are now pre-recorded, the phone editor also does some text editing for various programs. Tian Bin's 'Late Night Ghost Stories' has always been organized by him, and he also does annotations and reviews.

You are like the dust in the wind

This person is named Li Si, a very rustic name, which, along with Zhang San and Xiao Ming, is known as one of the three most widely recognized names in the country. The reason Zhang Ye has this attitude towards him is that it was this phone editor who spoke ill of him behind his back with the couple Tian Bin that day, and at that time, he even commented on Zhang Ye's unattractive appearance. Zhang Ye finds it amusing to think about it, and muses to himself that he should take a look in the mirror; no matter how one might say he looks only average, what about you? After all the calculations, one can only describe you with a poem.

You are like the clouds at the edge of the sky

Li Si has also come over at this moment to discuss the manuscript with Tian Bin

Tian Bin and Li Si left in a huff

You are like the bright and clear moon

The opportunity that was within reach has slipped away, and Zhang Ye immediately turned hostile. "Teacher Tian, have I provoked you or offended you in any way? You haven't guided me or shared your experience at work. When I have questions, you don't provide any answers. Now, without even knowing my capabilities, you directly say that I am not competent? You even want to erase my chance to be a temporary co-host? And you talk behind my back, slandering me? Did I kill your father or your mother? Is it really necessary to be this ruthless?" Even the chance to be a temporary co-host has to be taken away from me? And you talk behind my back, slandering me? Did I kill your father or your mother? Is it really necessary to be this ruthless?

The assistant said: "Please wait a moment, there is something going on here"

Forget it

Zhang Ye glanced and replied in a nonchalant tone, "What is it?" He still remembered the shock he felt the first time he saw this person's face; it was truly astonishing. For a brief moment, a line of thought reflexively popped into Zhang Ye's mind—aliens have finally invaded Earth!

That bad luck sticker

Zhang Ye sneered at their backs; he understood the principle of keeping a low profile. However, when someone bullied him, he would not hold back. Tian Bin was truly going too far! Hitting him? That would only lead to expulsion. Cursing at him? The outcome would likely be the same. This was a job that Zhang Ye had worked hard to secure, and he absolutely could not afford to lose it. He still needed to rely on the radio to take his first step toward fame.

"It's alright, just let me know if you can make use of me." As a newcomer, one naturally has to be a bit more diligent, and Zhang Ye is well aware of these principles
