After reading the email from the station, Qín Àiguó was stunned.
He knew Tán Yuè quite well. When Tán Yuè first joined "Folk Tea Talk," he was quite ambitious, but lacked experience and ability, so he didn't improve much.
Whether it was due to setbacks in his career or the overwhelming charm of his superstar wife, Tán Yuè later focused all his energy on his family and emotional life, becoming a true slacker at work.
If anyone in their group were to become Chief Planner, he would have favored Wáng Zhàn, who was more career-driven.
"Wisdom Tree"? Is it that good?"
Qín Àiguó muttered to himself, then stood up and walked to Tán Yuè's workstation.
Seeing Qín Àiguó, Tán Yuè stood up and called out, "Teacher Qin."
Qín Àiguó smiled and nodded, saying kindly, "Teacher Tán."
Seeing Qín Àiguó's politeness, Tán Yuè quickly waved his hand, "No, no, Teacher Qin, please just call me Little Tan."
Qín Àiguó smiled even more brightly and said, "Alright, Little Tan for now, and Teacher Tán later."
Tán Yuè smiled and shook his head.
Qín Àiguó said, "Little Tan, do you have some time? I'd like to chat for a bit."
Qín Àiguó gestured towards the pantry area.
Tán Yuè responded, "Okay."
The two walked towards the pantry, one after the other.
Lǎo Cè Huà Páng Xù looked enviously at Tán Yuè's retreating back, sighed softly, and put on his headphones to watch a movie.
Wáng Zhàn saw this scene and gritted his teeth. Previously, Qín Àiguó would always let everyone discuss things together, occasionally calling him to give instructions, but had never sought out Tán Yuè alone.
Moreover, Wáng Zhàn had witnessed Qín Àiguó's attitude towards Tán Yuè just now, and he felt incredibly sour!
Taking a deep breath, Wáng Zhàn clenched his fist. Tán Yuè was just lucky to have become Chief Planner before him, but he was sure he would catch up soon.
His future goals wouldn't be limited to Chief Planner of ordinary channels like Livelihood Channel and Children's Channel; he aimed higher – to become Chief Planner of the Entertainment Channel, and even Chief Planner of the Provincial Station!
Tán Yuè was unaware that Wáng Zhàn had already made him an imaginary enemy and a target to chase.
He was currently listening to Qín Àiguó explain the precautions for being a program Chief Planner.
"Little Tan, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to suddenly bid for the Chief Planner position at the Children's Channel. Tsk tsk, when I was your age, I was still just a planner at our county television station. Hehe, calling it planning, but in such a small place, you had to do everything."
Qín Àiguó recalled his past and sighed wistfully. "Here, I congratulate you on taking another step forward. This is an opportunity, seize it well."
Tán Yuè nodded, "Yes, Teacher Qin, I will seize this opportunity."
Qín Àiguó smiled lightly, "I called you out this time, first to congratulate you, and second, so we could have a final chat, after all, you'll be part of the Children's Channel from now on."
Tán Yuè understood Qín Àiguó's intention – he was trying to do him a favor, and coincidentally, he also had some unclear points about his work.
The original owner had never been a Chief Planner. Although in his past life he worked in the entertainment industry, it was far from the job of a planner. And this Qín Àiguó in front of him had been an old planner for over twenty years, with ample experience.
"Teacher Qin, I'm suddenly going to be Chief Planner, and I'm quite unsure. Could you give me some guidance?" Tán Yuè instinctively reached for a cigarette, but smoking was not allowed at the station, and Teacher Qin seemed to have quit smoking, so he let his hand drop.
Qín Àiguó smiled, "Guidance is not the right word, let's exchange ideas. A regular planner only needs to pay attention to one aspect and do their job well. But a Chief Planner is different. For a program, the Chief Planner is the soul, even more important than the director. They must grasp the overall picture..."
Tán Yuè listened and nodded.
Taking this opportunity, he asked all the questions he had about his work during this period.
Qín Àiguó thought that Tán Yuè, being so young and reaching the same position as him, might even have a brighter future. Although he didn't know how Tán Yuè won the bid, whatever means he used showed he had ability. Qín Àiguó was happy to build a better relationship with Tán Yuè.
Initially, Qín Àiguó thought Tán Yuè was just a greenhorn fresh out of school. After this interaction, his impression of Tán Yuè changed considerably. Tán Yuè handled interpersonal relationships quite well, knowing when to lower his stance and when to state his position. This point alone made him much better than Wáng Zhàn, who only knew how to flatter.
Half an hour later, they finished talking and returned.
Along the way, Tán Yuè noticed that many colleagues who previously didn't speak to him now smiled and nodded when they met him.
Their attitudes weren't overly cordial, but there was more respect than before.
Tán Yuè clearly remembered that the first time he came to work after transmigrating, he heard someone call him "soft male."
Thinking of the nickname "soft male," Tán Yuè felt a pang of frustration.
Around 3 p.m., someone from the Children's Channel came and asked Tán Yuè to go to the director's office.
This director was not the director of the Livelihood Channel's program department, but Sūn Xīn, the director of the Children's Channel's program department.
The office areas for the Livelihood Channel, Urban Channel, and Business Channel were on the second floor, while the Children's Channel, Entertainment Channel, and News Channel office areas were on the third floor.
Tán Yuè followed the person to the third floor and was led into an office.
Upon entering the office, Tán Yuè saw Sūn Xīn, the director of the Children's Channel's program department, sitting behind her desk.
He had met Sūn Xīn yesterday. She was in her mid-to-late thirties, with short to medium-length hair. She wasn't conventionally beautiful, but she had a good presence.
"Hello, Director," Tán Yuè greeted.
Sūn Xīn looked at Tán Yuè, smiled, and gestured to the chair opposite her desk, saying, "Tán Yuè, sit down."
Tán Yuè walked over and sat in the chair.
Sūn Xīn looked at Tán Yuè's handsome face and smiled, "You're so clean-cut, you should be a host."
Tán Yuè was taken aback. He hadn't expected the director's first words to be this and didn't quite know how to respond. He shook his head and smiled, "I can't. I can barely speak properly in front of the camera; I'm suited for behind-the-scenes work."
Sūn Xīn smiled and asked, "Has your workstation been moved over yet?"
Tán Yuè shook his head, "Not yet. I plan to move it after work today."
Sūn Xīn nodded and said, "I called you here mainly about "Wisdom Tree." I need to tell you in advance. "Liàngliàng Shuo Gushi" has two more completed episodes, meaning the first episode of "Wisdom Tree" needs to be filmed within two weeks. Otherwise, there will be a gap, which would be problematic. The time is a bit tight, can you handle it?"
Tán Yuè thought for a moment and then nodded, "Director, the time is a bit tight, but I think it's fine."
Tán Yuè could foresee that the next two weeks would be another tough battle.
However, being the Chief Planner and in charge of a program, he found the thought quite exciting.
