Chapter 425 Let's really hype it up!
Wang Xianjiao gazed thoughtfully at Yu Huan's hurried figure, as if he were being chased by something urgent, his steps quick and hurried.
As the scout for the new media department, my sudden early arrival today clearly indicates that there are many things that urgently need to be addressed.
Wang Xianjiao hadn't expected it was to avoid her...
Only after Yu Huan's tall figure completely disappeared behind the office door did she slowly withdraw her gaze, then turned and quickly went to Chen Yaoyao's desk.
She bent down slightly, her gaze falling on the neatly arranged stack of folders on the table. She said with a smile, "Yaoyao, you really are Brother Yu's right-hand woman. Your dedication is simply unparalleled!"
Chen Yaoyao reached for the mouse and checked her work email, only to see a dense array of unread emails marked with red dots.
Instead of dealing with the unread emails, she first sent Yu Huan a document from her computer desktop, which contained a list of people who could work online during the Spring Festival.
As she slowly dragged the mouse, she smiled and casually replied, "Xianjiao, you're here pretty early today too."
Wang Xianjiao's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. Her expression was conflicted, and her heart felt like it was being gently scratched by a cat's paw.
At this moment, her mind was filled with thoughts of Brother Yu and Susu, sparking speculation and overwhelming her urge to confide in him.
In short.
As expected of Brother Yu!
I can't believe I managed to get in touch with Susu and have dinner together!
This is something that countless saplings dream of!
However, Wang Xianjiao's eyes darted around a few times, her mind in turmoil, and she swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Chen Yaoyao is single-mindedly focused on her career. Her daily conversations revolve around work and industry news. She doesn't even pay attention to the tidbits of entertainment news. She's a true workaholic.
Discussing these entertainment gossips about Susu with her, even if they involve Brother Yu, is like talking to a brick wall.
Moreover, what's most inappropriate is that Brother Yu is already married, so she can't be gossiping about him.
Wang Xianjiao coughed lightly, clearing her throat, trying to cover up her earlier hesitation.
She unconsciously brushed her hair behind her ear and quickly changed the subject: "You know what, Yao Yao, Brother Yu has already confirmed with Hunan TV that he'll be recording 'Day Day Up'."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yaoyao paused in her movements, her eyes instantly lighting up as if two small flames had ignited, and she turned to look at Wang Xianjiao.
"really?"
"Hey!"
Wang Xianjiao crossed her arms over her chest, raised her chin slightly, and looked as if she herself was about to appear on a TV show.
She rattled off, "Of course! I've long felt that Brother Yu, as the face of our newspaper, should be getting more exposure. When the program airs, we can leverage our expertise in new media to create some online interactions and support Brother Yu! Let's really generate buzz!"
Chen Yaoyao nodded repeatedly, "This idea is quite reliable."
Just as the two were having a heated discussion, Yu Huan, looking relaxed in the office, casually turned on the central air conditioning. With a soft "beep," a warm breeze slowly blew out from the vents.
Then, he bent down and picked up the shower head that was placed against the wall. After a quick inspection, he found that there was still more than half a bucket of water inside.
Then, carrying the showerhead, he walked towards the row of potted plants by the window.
Clear water sprays evenly from the showerhead, nourishing the leaves of the green plants and the soil.
While watering the plants methodically, Yu Huan was rapidly planning the agenda for the upcoming morning meeting.
The selection of group representatives is of paramount importance. Although it is currently a nominal position, they will become the backbone of the new media department in the future.
At the very least, it concerns the efficiency of teamwork and the direction of project progress, so he had thought about it carefully early on, and sent a draft list of candidates to Lao Li for review last Friday.
The original plan was to have Old Li, the hands-off manager, come over this morning to oversee things and say a few words.
Unexpectedly, Lao Li called to tell him that the research department was busy maintaining research data and archives as the year-end approached, and everyone was in their assigned positions, so they really didn't have time to participate in the morning meeting. He asked Lao Li to take full responsibility for all matters, big and small, related to the morning meeting and the selection of group representatives...
After watering, Yu Huan bent down and carefully picked off a few yellowed and withered leaves.
After tending to the potted plants for a bit, Yu Huan returned to her desk and plopped heavily into a chair.
He sat upright, turned on his computer, and began processing the work emails that had piled up over the weekend.
He opened each email one by one, browsed them, and replied, his thoughts clear and concise, without the slightest hesitation or delay.
The central air conditioning vents continuously blew out warm air, sweeping through every inch of the room, gradually raising the temperature of the originally chilly office.
A gentle warmth seeped into her clothes, dispelling the lingering chill on Yu Huan's body.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief, reached out and unbuttoned the tightly fastened buttons at his collar, and his whole body relaxed.
Before long, Yu Huan had finished reading all the emails in an orderly manner. He clicked the mouse and saved the document that Chen Yaoyao had just sent to his desktop.
Feeling thirsty, Yu Huan picked up her thermos, got up from her seat, and left the office to get some hot water.
At this moment, many people gradually arrived at the workspace, and the sounds of footsteps and conversations mingled together, creating a growing cacophony.
As Yu Huan walked along, people greeted him warmly wherever they went.
He looked at the lively scene, a warm smile spreading across his face, and nodded repeatedly in response.
"Brother Yu, good morning! I heard you're going to record 'Day Day Up' on Hunan TV. Our new media department is really benefiting from this!" Wang Zhi said with a big grin, his excitement overflowing. He waved his hand and shouted loudly.
Yu Huan turned slightly to the side, nodded lightly to Wang Zhi, and smiled even more gently, saying, "It's only just begun. The specifics depend on the subsequent arrangements of the production team. There are still many variables, so don't be too happy for me yet." As she spoke, she continued walking towards the tea room without stopping.
As time quietly passed, the once somewhat empty workspace became increasingly bustling.
The group gathered in small groups, found common ground, and started talking all at once about Yu Huan's upcoming appearance on "Day Day Up".
As soon as the clock on the wall of the workshop clicked to exactly nine o'clock, the noisy, bustling conversations, which had resembled those in a market, were suddenly muted, becoming so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All eyes turned to Yu Huan at the front of the crowd.
Yu Huan was already used to being the center of attention. She calmly cleared her throat, her clear and powerful voice breaking the silence:
Good morning, everyone!
"Today is a tight schedule and we have a lot of tasks, so I'll keep it brief and not waste any time. The only principle we adhered to in selecting the group representatives was to appoint people based solely on their abilities! Director Li and I have put in a lot of effort lately, carefully discussing the matter, reviewing various work data, and referring to past project performance. Finally, this weekend, we finalized the specific candidates..."
"Group representatives bear important responsibilities. They not only need to take the lead in their work, but also actively communicate and collaborate with other groups to make the operation of our entire new media department smoother and more efficient..."
"The following is a list of representatives from each group."
Yu Huan slightly raised his chin, his hands calmly clasped behind his back, his posture upright and imposing in front of everyone.
He paused for a moment, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone present, before continuing in a steady and powerful voice:
"Representative of the editorial team—"
Wei Quan, sitting in the second row, instantly stood up straight, his hands unconsciously clenching the hem of his clothes, craning his neck and looking expectantly at Yu Huan.
The first batch of veterans in their editorial team consisted of only three people. He boasted that he was the most conscientious and diligent, and was almost always the last to leave the office every day.
This persistence and dedication gave him a 70% chance of success.
But when he heard Yu Huan say "appoint based solely on ability" with such conviction, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.
Wei Quan had to admit a harsh truth: in terms of actual business skills, Li Xiaoyu was indeed superior.
No matter how tricky the subject matter, Li Xiaoyu could always find a novel angle that resonated with the audience in a short time. Aside from the few news articles personally edited by Yu Ge, the number of reads and shares of her manuscripts was unparalleled in the entire editing team.
These solid data and undeniable achievements are right before our eyes, leaving no room for argument.
as predicted.
The next moment, Yu Huan's gaze fell directly on the location where Li Xiaoyu was.
"Li Xiaoyu demonstrated solid writing skills and a meticulous work ethic in her editing work. She possesses an exceptionally high sensitivity to news, always able to capture key information at the first opportunity, providing strong support for our news reports. In terms of teamwork, she is also proactive and works seamlessly with her colleagues..."
Upon hearing Yu Huan's well-reasoned and praise-filled words, Wei Quan quietly released his grip and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although deep down they know that this group representative position is not a substantial one that is directly linked to salary or brings generous benefits, many people do not value it much.
But the disappointment of not being recognized surged like a tidal wave. He forced a smile and raised his hand to clap softly with everyone else.
Yu Huan coughed lightly, and waited for the applause to subside before continuing:
"Xu Fei, the representative of the operations team, has rich operational experience and innovative thinking. In the operation of new media platforms, she can accurately grasp user needs and formulate practical operational strategies, which greatly enhances the influence and communication power of our new media department..."
"Ye Jianxue, the representative of the art group, has demonstrated remarkable artistic design skills. His works are unique in style and highly creative, adding color to our news reports and greatly enhancing the visual impact..."
"Chen Xi, representing the video production team, demonstrated outstanding performance in video production. His professional skills were evident in both filming techniques and post-production editing. The videos he created were rich in content, diverse in format, and widely loved by the public..."
"Zheng Yu, representative of the public opinion monitoring team, is conscientious and responsible in her work. She is able to promptly identify and analyze public opinion dynamics, providing us with accurate information and crucial data for our decision-making..."
"These are all the representatives selected for this group," Yu Huan said, narrowing her eyes slightly and raising her voice a few decibels. "I hope that all the representatives will live up to expectations, give full play to their own strengths, lead their respective groups, and contribute more to the development of the New Media Department."
After speaking, Yu Huan took the lead in raising her hands and clapping.
As the thunderous applause gradually subsided, Yu Huan pursed her lips and smiled, her previously tense face breaking into a gentle smile.
He said in a light tone:
"Everyone, the Chinese New Year is just around the corner. It's precisely at times like this that we need to be extra vigilant. Each group needs to step up their efforts and finish the projects on hand, especially those New Year's specials. The text, images, and layout—nothing can be overlooked. Also, the holiday duty roster has been finalized. It will all be done online. I will send the detailed schedule to your work email later. Please check it carefully and report any special circumstances in advance."
The solemn atmosphere gradually relaxed as Yu Huan smiled, and rustling sounds began to rise from the crowd.
Yu Huan noticed that his phone in his pocket had been vibrating for a while, probably because someone was anxious to find him and had made several calls.
Without further ado, the meeting was adjourned.
He strode back to his office, and with a gentle flick of his wrist, the door clicked shut behind him, completely shutting out the noise from outside.
The vibration of his phone had stopped by then. He took out his phone, tapped the screen, and his gaze fell on the several missed calls displayed on it.
Notice that there are two numbers without any notes, one is a landline and the other is a mobile number, both local numbers.
Yu Huan frowned slightly, moved to the office chair and sat down, leaning back to find a comfortable position.
His gaze lingered on the screen for a moment before he dialed the landline number back.
The phone rang a few times, and after a short wait, a crisp and capable female voice came from the receiver: "Hello, is this Mr. Yu Huan?"
His name was called out immediately.
Yu Huan sat up straight instinctively and replied, "Hello, I'm Yu Huan. May I ask who you are?"
The woman's voice was light and quick as she spoke: "Hello Mr. Yu! I'm Zhang Yue, the director of the 'Day Day Up' program. I'm calling to discuss the specific details of recording the program. After Brother Han and you reached a preliminary agreement on the cooperation, our program team has attached great importance to it. We are very grateful that you are willing to take time out of your busy schedule to participate in the recording of our program."
After listening to her finish speaking, Yu Huan said with just the right amount of humility, "Director Zhang, I am honored to receive the invitation from the 'Day Day Up' program team. I am also very much looking forward to this recording and will definitely cooperate fully with the program team's arrangements."
