Chapter 49 Buying People's Hearts Immediately afterwards, the morning meeting ended with a discussion of some innocuous matters.
In fact, as a working class worker, I deeply hate meetings.
Just like when reading a book.
There are some principals or prefects.
He likes to talk at length on stage and talk about some nutritious things.
The students in the audience all looked drowsy.
But everyone on the stage thought they spoke very well.
Sometimes the same goes for meetings in the company.
Many times it can be concluded in just a few words.
It has to take a very long time.
After the meeting, everyone left the conference room in an orderly manner.
The focus of this meeting is on Ye Zhen.
Some old employees who have worked in the TV station for a long time.
I have never seen anyone mentioned as being promoted to a regular job in advance.
Producer Chen walked up silently and said, "Come to my office. I have something to tell you."
Ye Zhen didn't ask any more questions.
People like Producer Chen who belong to the management of the TV station.
Everyone has their own office.
After entering Producer Chen's office, Producer Chen sat in his seat.
I took out a thick envelope from the drawer.
"This is the bonus awarded to you by the station." Producer Chen placed the thick envelope on the table with a snap.
It was visually estimated that there was at least tens of thousands of dollars in cash in this envelope.
"Is this for me?" Ye Zhen said lightly.
Producer Chen nodded, "This is the bonus decided to give you by the superiors."
"But don't tell anyone, you are the only one who has this bonus."
Ye Zhen instantly understood that this should be to win his bonus.
Ye Zhen had already received a bonus once before.
But that was given by Director Huang to the entire "Into Science Popularization" program team.
This time, it was left to Ye Zhen alone.
Why didn't you announce it in the meeting just now? Because you were afraid that someone would be jealous.
After all, this is tens of thousands, which is equivalent to several months of salary for some people.
"Don't think too much, you deserve this." Producer Chen smiled.
A capable person like Ye Zhen should receive corresponding rewards.
Secondly, this is also to win over Ye Zhen's heart.
After all, the easiest way to win people's hearts is money.
Even though tens of thousands of dollars here seems like a lot.
For TV stations, it’s just a drop in the bucket.
Ye Zhen didn't refuse, but just took out part of the money from the envelope.
"Producer Chen, use this money to treat everyone on the show team to a meal."
Ye Zhen took out a third of the money.
Producer Chen looked at part of the bonus that Ye Zhen had drawn out.
Because the show cannot be made by Ye Zhen alone.
There are also many staff working silently here.
In addition, Ye Zhen is now a full-time employee, which means he has received a promotion and a salary increase.
Inviting colleagues from the program team to have a meal is a very reasonable and appropriate thing to do.
"Okay, okay." Producer Chen accepted it directly.
"Then I'll go back first." Ye Zhen stuffed the envelope into his clothes and went back.
Not long after Ye Zhengang left.
There was a knock on the door outside Producer Chen's office.
"Come in." Producer Chen called, his eyes staring at the computer screen. "Hey hey hey, Producer Chen." A middle-aged man walked in.
Producer Chen looked up and saw Luo Jianjun, the person in charge of the program group "Midnight Ghost Stories" next door.
"Lao Luo." Producer Chen looked at him curiously; "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything."
"What did you come to see me for?"
Lao Luo took out a packet of Huazi directly from his pocket and handed one directly to Producer Chen.
Producer Chen took it skillfully and put it in his mouth.
Lao Luo was about to light a fire for Producer Chen, when Producer Chen raised his hand and said, "No, I have it myself."
After Lao Luo and Producer Chen silently ignited Hua Zi.
The two men looked at each other.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Producer Chen said while holding the burning Hua Zi between his arms.
"Old Chen, you also know my current situation."
"Our damn show has been at the bottom of the ratings for several consecutive times."
"The superiors are already very dissatisfied with us." Lao Luo looked sad.
Ratings are the lifeblood of every TV station person.
No wonder Lao Luo is so worried.
"If this continues, our program will be cancelled."
"You can think of a way for us!" Lao Luo said his purpose.
Ye Zhen had not come before.
The throne of the last one in ratings has always belonged to "Into Popular Science".
Now "Into Popular Science" has soared, leaving "Midnight Ghost Stories" at the bottom.
It turns out that the two of them are inseparable brothers, one is the last one, and the other is the second last one.
Unfortunately, things are different these days.
Producer Chen said straightforwardly: "I have no choice."
When Lao Luo heard what Producer Chen said, he immediately became anxious, "What are you talking about? How could you have nothing to do!"
"Your program, which used to be ranked last in the ratings, is now ranked second in ratings, and you still say there is nothing you can do about it!"
Producer Chen knows that people outside think this is his skill.
In fact, why didn't Producer Chen know that all this was the result of that young man?
If I really had the ability, I would have taken the show off long ago. Is there any need to wait until today? "But I have no choice, you can go find Teacher Ye." Producer Chen flicked the cigarette ashes in his hand.
"Is that the new guy named Ye Zhen, the one who just became a full-time employee today?" How could Lao Luo not know Ye Zhen's name? Now the most discussed person on the stage is Ye Zhen.
Even Director Huang said that they should learn from Ye Zhen.
"Just say that I asked you to come to him." Producer Chen took a deep breath of Huazi, "As for whether it has any effect, I don't know."
Lao Luo's face was uncertain, "There is no other way now, we have to treat the dead horse as a living horse."
"If you succeed, I will definitely come and repay you, Lao Chen."
After saying that, Lao Luo left Producer Chen's office.
Why is Lao Luo so anxious?
In the past, "Into Popular Science" also ranked last for many issues in a row, and it was almost at the stage of being cut in half.
Now "Midnight Ghost Stories" is just the last one in several issues in a row.
But because the above has already spoken.
If the next episode of "Midnight Ghost Story" is ranked last in ratings again.
There is no need to continue this program in the future.
This made the person in charge, Lao Luo, anxious.
After Lao Luo returned to his program group.
Kong Sisi, the female host of "Midnight Ghost Stories", rushed to Lao Luo's side.
"Director Luo, what's the matter?"
Lao Luo sighed and said, "Producer Chen wants us to find Ye Zhen and tell him that he has a solution."
Kong Sisi muttered: "Ye Zhen?" with a surprised expression on his face, "Is it the recent newcomer Ye Zhen?"
"Yes, that's him." Lao Luo nodded silently.
