After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 435 Conservatives

the next day.

Around 8 a.m., Zhou Haoran received a call from his workplace.

He said the booth manager wanted to see him about something.

Their rush must be related to what happened yesterday.

Zhou Haoran wasn't worried at all.

The "producer contract system" is like a royal decree; everyone must follow the rules, and power cannot be abused.

But what's the deal with this Song Yongjun?

Could they really be members of the Conservative Party?

The producer contract system can be said to be one of the most important reform measures of Red Star TV in the past two or three years.

Song Yongjun had just been appointed as the director of the lifestyle channel, yet he dared to defy public opinion!
Once I got to work, I went to find He Jin first.

"How was last night?"

He Jin was very concerned and anxious.

It feels like our intimacy has increased a lot ever since he examined what's inside my underwear.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "No problem, easy peasy!"

"Don't be careless!" He Jin said seriously, glancing around furtively, and lowered her voice, "I've asked around."

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran seemed to think he had guessed correctly.

He Jin whispered, "When he was on the main channel, Song Yongjun was the deputy director in charge of the program production center. He was a powerful figure on the main channel. He had a strong style and remotely directed all the programs."

Zhou Haoran raised an eyebrow. "He's not very enthusiastic about promoting the 'producer responsibility system,' is he?"

"Yes, they are not very proactive."

"Is he a conservative?"

"They are conservatives."

He Jin provided the information she possessed.

"Interesting..."

Zhou Haoran narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

I initially thought that Zhan Yushan's choice of Song Yongjun as the director of the lifestyle channel meant he must be a trusted confidant. Turns out, that's not the case at all!

The lifestyle channel was Zhan Yushan's old stronghold, and he actually managed to bring in a conservative.

What does it mean?
He Jin said in a low voice, "The official appointment was made yesterday. Zhan Yushan will be in charge of the General Channel, Lifestyle Channel, and Entertainment Channel from now on. Currently, Gong Haodong, the director of the General Channel, is a true reformer. After Song Yongjun was transferred, many of the reform measures of the General Channel should be able to be implemented well in the General Channel."

"Old Zhan is in charge of three channels, two of which are controlled by conservatives..."

Zhou Haoran seemed to understand something.

It seems the power struggle at the top is quite complex, and it's far from over.

Should we join in?
He Jin asked with concern, "Yesterday, you didn't offend Song Yongjun too badly, did you?"

"Hmm, not too harsh."

Zhou Haoran cleared his throat.

He Jin immediately sensed something was wrong and widened her eyes, "What's going on?"

Zhou Haoran rubbed his nose. "It's nothing. He brought over twenty people with him, I guess they're all his trusted subordinates from the general channel. He wants to make a name for himself as the director!"

"You put it out?"

"If it were just extinguished, it would be manageable."

"what?"

He Jin was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Haoran said, "I peed on them and put it out... how should I put it, it was a bit humiliating."

"You humiliated Song Yongjun?"

He Jin felt a little dizzy.

Zhou Haoran said, "I warned them that anyone who dares to act arrogantly or recklessly will be expelled."

"you said?"

He Jin held her forehead with one hand and leaned against the wall with the other.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Haoran slowly said, "Sister He Jin, do you think a man's words should be as firm as his promise?"

He Jin's phoenix eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

Zhou Haoran said, "A true man keeps his word, doesn't he?"

"You..." He Jin looked stunned. "Did I misunderstand you?"

"It's nothing. Lao Zhan called me. He's probably talking about yesterday's incident. I'll go and see what he thinks."

Zhou Haoran waved his hand and prepared to go upstairs.

He Jin stood behind him, her expression complex.

They refer to Zhan Yushan as "Old Zhan".

This kid is getting way too cocky!
I went upstairs and found the office of Deputy Director Zhan Yushan.

There was another person sitting inside, and that was Song Yongjun!

"Well, sit down."

Zhan Yushan remained indifferent, sitting behind his desk and pointing to the sofa.

"Alright." Zhou Haoran smiled and looked at Song Yongjun, whose expression was gloomy, with great curiosity. "Station manager, is this the Song Yongjun you mentioned before, the one who's going to be promoted to director of the lifestyle channel?"

"Correct."

Seeing his expression, Zhan Yushan was also a little worried, unsure whether calling the two into his office for mediation was the right decision.

Sure enough, Song Yongjun gave him a cold look and sneered, "Now you recognize me?"

"Otherwise what?" Zhou Haoran retorted.

"You've already forgotten about last night?"

Song Yongjun's tone was gloomy.

Zhou Haoran sat down and said seriously, "It's just a coincidence, Director Zhan, I have something to report to you."

"Say!"

Zhan Yushan looked very dignified, like a judge upholding justice.

Zhou Haoran said in a deep voice: "Some comrades don't understand the station's reform policies enough. They still have the old mindset, and they abuse their power. They don't take the station's system and the major policies set by Director Shan Wendong seriously at all. 'Everyone's Art' is a program produced by producer Hu Xiaochen. According to the requirements of the 'producer responsibility system,' she has the right to choose where to build the studio."

"Alright, there might have been some misunderstanding about last night." Zhan Yushan couldn't really take it out on Song Yongjun, and even if he did, it couldn't be done in the form of a small discussion. "The 'Everyone's Art' program will be developed to the standards of the Lifestyle Channel's flagship program. Director Song went over last night just to offer some work guidance."

Seeing that he was trying to smooth things over, Zhou Haoran pressed on, "Isn't that a bit much? Booth manager, last night, Director Song brought more than twenty people, like a gang on the street, rushing over to chase people away and even trying to steal the ledgers. I really didn't recognize Director Song last night; judging from their demeanor, I thought the Green Gang had returned!"

Song Yongjun was so angry he could die. He shouted, "Some things can't be solved with just a few clever words!"

"It's all a misunderstanding." Zhan Yushan made a downward gesture. "There were some wrongdoings in what happened last night. Let bygones be bygones. Haoran, now that we know each other, don't clash with each other again. From now on, the Lifestyle Channel should develop well under Director Song's leadership."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Great booth! It was dark last night, so I really didn't recognize it. Now that I do, I'm confident that Director Song will lead the Lifestyle Channel to continue its steadfast development along Director Shan Wendong's reform path."

Zhan Yushan thought to himself that this kid was not at a disadvantage at all.

They started applying eye drops the moment I walked in.

This shows they don't treat Song Yongjun as a leader at all.
Isn't that a bit too much?
This kid has made many contributions and achievements since joining the company, but his temper is getting bigger and bigger, and he doesn't even respect the channel director anymore.

Thanks to Zhan Yushan's mediation, the matter has been temporarily resolved.

Indeed, as he said, something was amiss last night.

Zhou Haoran shouldn't have been so impudent and defiant, publicly humiliating his superior. Song Yongjun made even more mistakes, attempting to directly interfere in the internal affairs of "Everyone's Artistic Awakening."

Normally, it's appropriate for the channel director to give "guidance" to the internal programs.

We'll change it however we're told.

Otherwise, how can the leader's authority be demonstrated?
But Zhou Haoran simply didn't accept that approach.

This was a habit he had in his past life.

A TV program is like a product in a major internet company; the producers and directors are all programmers.

In large internet companies, it's certainly a good thing if a senior leader with technical expertise wants to provide technical guidance for the product. However, if a technical layman comes in arrogantly and tries to command those conceited technical staff, that's just wishful thinking. Even Jack Ma would be disappointed.

Zhou Haoran would not accept an outsider giving random instructions on "Everyone's Art".

Not to mention Song Yongjun, even Zhan Yushan wouldn't be able to do it.

In this respect, Crown TV does it the best!
"Oh, Haoran!"

An unfamiliar male colleague waved from afar.

Zhou Haoran greeted him with a smile, "Good morning!"

My male colleague gave me a thumbs up, "I've heard about it, you're the one!"

"what?"

Zhou Haoran was slightly stunned.

A little while later, I saw Sales Manager Liu Zebin again. He quickly ran over and asked in a low voice, "Is that thing true or false?"

Zhou Haoran asked: "What's the matter?"

"You killed the new director?"

Liu Zebin's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Oh, Song Yongjun!" Zhou Haoran smiled, showing no respect whatsoever in his words or expression. "Just an outsider, what can he do?"

"It's really you!"

Liu Zebin's eyes betrayed his shock.

There was also a hint of relief mixed in.

Feeling comfortable now.

Turns out I wasn't the only one who got taken advantage of; even the new director got taken advantage of by him. That's fine... that's fine...

After walking a few more steps, she met a female director she didn't recognize and asked curiously, "Are you Zhou Haoran?"

"Yes, hello."

"You...you scared the new director away?"

"what?"

Zhou Haoran was stunned.

What's the situation?
How did everyone know? The news spread way too fast!
Overnight, it became the biggest news.

If information could spread freely, it probably wouldn't spread this fast!
It's possible that someone is deliberately spreading this kind of news!
What is this for?
Is it directed at myself?
I'm afraid not!
It might be targeting Song Yongjun! Yesterday, at the station's general office meeting, Song Yongjun was officially appointed as the director of the Lifestyle Channel. However, he hasn't officially taken office yet. The Lifestyle Channel needs to hold a meeting to introduce and explain his appointment before Song Yongjun can officially take office.

The meeting hasn't started yet.

Song Yongjun's reputation has been ruined.

Zhou Haoran didn't know who was behind this, it shouldn't be Zhan Yushan... It seems that the power within this TV station is truly omnipresent.

"Haoran!"

At this moment, a very gentle voice appeared in a very elegant manner.

"Oh, Editor-in-Chief Lin."

Zhou Haoran nodded to her.

Lin Guiyan pursed her lips and said with a half-smile, "I knew you were capable, but I didn't expect you to be this capable."

Zhou Haoran wasn't very friendly to her. He snorted, "You touched me all over, inside and out, on your very first dance. You must have some skill to do that."

Lin Guiyan covered her mouth and chuckled, giving him a sidelong glance. "Yeah, you're really something. Even the director isn't a match for you. A little lady like me has no choice but to obey you."

"Alright, stop flirting! I'm not interested in married women!"
