Knock, knock on the door.

"Come in," Zhao Guozhou looked towards the outer door.

A woman came in from outside, and Zhang Ye, who was on the other side of the glass, also saw her. Ah, he had seen this woman before; she had even cursed him behind his back. She was Tian Bin's wife, whom he had seen on the first day after work. At this moment, the woman was holding a contract, clearly a staff member of the station, either someone in charge of advertising or from the legal department. At first, he thought Tian Bin's wife had come to pick him up after work, but it turned out she was also a member of the radio station.

"Director Zhao, this is the contract for this time," the woman took out a stack of A4 papers.

Zhao Guozhou took them and nodded, "Put it here for now, we'll talk about it later."

"Alright," the woman turned her head and saw Tian Bin waving at her, so she walked to the last row and sat down with her husband.

"Sister-in-law."

"Is Sister-in-law here?"

Everyone in the cultural frequency knew their relationship and recognized her.

After sitting down, Tian Bin's wife made no effort to hide her disdain for Zhang Ye and whispered, "Why hasn't it started yet? What are they waiting for?" Her husband had been replaced by Zhang Ye, so it was no wonder her tone was bad.

An employee of the cultural station said, "It started a while ago, but Teacher Zhang's voice didn't seem to be in good condition, so they stopped."

Tian Bin chuckled, "It's not his voice, he's run out of ideas. Just wait and see, he won't be able to handle the advertising sponsorship today!"

"Really?" another colleague said.

Tian Bin smirked, "Haven't you noticed? Zhang Ye is at the end of his rope; he has nothing left. What can he do?"

Tian Bin's wife snorted, "I think so too. A newcomer can't be lucky forever. They have to pay a price for their youth. Is broadcasting that easy? Without years of training and experience, how can anyone become competent? A moment of glory is just a fleeting moment. In the end, it all comes down to experience and depth!"

Xiao Fang heard this and was displeased but didn't dare to show it too much, after all, she was also a newcomer. She just said, "Teacher Zhang will be fine!"

Tian Bin laughed, "Does he look like he's fine? Let's make a bet, shall we? See if he can get through this!"

Xiao Fang didn't say anything. She was also worried. Teacher Zhang, please don't mess up!

...

They couldn't hear the conversation from the front, as it was about seven or eight meters away.

"Xiao Zhang, is your voice rested?" Zhao Guozhou couldn't help him any longer. Seeing the time drag on, he frowned and asked.

Zhang Ye adjusted his state, took a sip of water, and immediately said, "Leader, I'm ready."

"Alright, let's continue," Zhao Guozhou gestured for him to start, his eyes filled with doubt.

Tian Bin thought to himself, what can you do? You're going to embarrass yourself today. Once you're out, the 'Midnight Ghost Stories' program will still be mine!

Tian Bin's wife also smiled without a word, waiting for Zhang Ye to embarrass himself!

Zhang Ye paused for two seconds and started recording, "Hello everyone, welcome to today's 'Midnight Ghost Stories'... This jade was given to his father by a senior officer of the Northwest Field Army. The officer led his troops to eliminate a band of bandits, and this jade was worn by the bandit leader. It's called a jade pendant, but it doesn't look like one; it has an ancient and strange shape..." Unlike his previous stammering, this time Zhang Ye's words flowed smoothly.

Tian Bin was slightly surprised. What's going on? How can he speak again? Oh, he must have been thinking during the break, but that little time isn't enough. He will definitely make a big mistake later!

Ten minutes!

Thirty minutes!

Time passed bit by bit.

Tian Bin was waiting for Zhang Ye to make a mistake, and the couple was watching the show.

However, Zhang Ye's performance made his face turn green. Not only did Zhang Ye not make any mistakes, but his storytelling and writing were also excellent, returning to the high-quality level of the previous episodes, even surpassing them. He didn't even need to re-record any segments, almost as if he were speaking with divine assistance, talking non-stop!

"Let's listen to Yingzi tell us about the Wild Man Gorge in Black Wind Pass. It wasn't called Wild Man Gorge before; it was called Dead Man Gorge. Even further back, it was called Moon Embracing Gorge..."

One episode finished!

Two episodes finished!

From 2 PM to 5 PM, Zhang Ye recorded three episodes, speaking non-stop without even taking a sip of water, recording in one go!

Tian Bin and his wife were speechless!

Zhao Guozhou and Xiao Fang were also stunned!

The five or six advertising teams were dumbfounded!

When the third episode finished, Zhang Ye was still in the zone and wanted to continue with the next one. Zhao Guozhou quickly interrupted, pushing the microphone away and saying, "Xiao Zhang, that's enough for now!" Do you want to keep talking? Can you still talk? If you keep going, it will be dark!

Zhang Ye said, "Alright," and took off his headphones, still feeling unsatisfied.

The woman from the pawn shop stared, "Three hours of content, all off the cuff? Impossible!" She couldn't believe it and immediately stood up, "I'm going to check!" She hated being deceived; it was a huge disrespect and an insult to their intelligence!

"Hey..." Zhao Guozhou couldn't stop her and had to let her go.

Tian Bin and his wife also didn't believe it and followed the advertisers and leaders inside.

Three hours of live creation without a script and no mistakes?

How could anyone do that? This is a joke!

Everyone rushed into the recording studio, looking around but finding no script. The advertisers thought Zhang Ye might have typed the script into the computer, so they opened it to check. The second computer on the recording desk wasn't even turned on, and the main computer had no monitor, controlled by a button!

Zhang Ye was puzzled by the sudden influx of people, "Uh? What's going on?"

The advertisers were stunned, "You... you really didn't have a script?"

"No, I just thought of it and spoke it," Zhang Ye said matter-of-factly.

The woman was silent for a while, then turned to Zhao Guozhou and said, "Sign the contract, Director Zhao, we're reassured!"

Tian Bin still couldn't believe it. Damn! How did you memorize three hours of content? Are you crazy? Even with a script, Tian Bin himself made mistakes when recording. How could you do it without a script and without making any mistakes? How? Weren't you out of ideas? Weren't you struggling to tell a story just now? How did you suddenly become so different?

Tian Bin's wife's face also looked terrible.

Xiao Fang glanced at them. You still want to bet? You still think Teacher Zhang can't do it? Why aren't you talking now? Are you stunned?

Zhang Ye, of course, wouldn't make mistakes. His memory was so reinforced that he could speak almost without thinking, thanks to the memory capsule!

Zhao Guozhou and the advertisers left to discuss the contract details.

Zhang Ye looked at his watch but still felt unsatisfied. Feeling very energetic, he didn't go to eat but drank some water and sat back at the recording desk, starting the fourth episode of the day!

Tian Bin, not believing it, stayed to see how Zhang Ye did it!

Wang Xiaomei and a few other broadcasters and hosts didn't go to eat either, wanting to see Zhang Ye's secret or, more precisely, to see where his limits were. They were extremely surprised!

Four episodes!

Six episodes!

Eight episodes!

Zhang Ye actually recorded from 2 PM to 10 PM!

Wang Xiaomei quietly left at 6 PM!

Tian Bin held out until 7 PM and then left with a dark expression!

Some people went to eat, some went home, but more people came to witness the spectacle!

"Amazing!"

"Go see, Zhang Ye is still recording!"

"Really? What time is it? Still off the cuff?"

"Of course, off the cuff. He's been off the cuff for eight hours!"

"Damn! Is this guy even human? Did he take a super pill?"

The news spread, and many broadcasters and staff from other frequencies came in waves. Everyone came in with a skeptical expression, but when they left, their skeptical expressions were replaced by looks of shock!

After a day.

Everyone knew that a god had come to the cultural radio frequency!

Recording for nearly ten hours without a script and without a single mistake! Who in the entire station, from top to bottom, could match that?
