Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

"Buying traffic and comments... I know, but this is the first time I've heard of TV stations buying ratings. This is truly eye-opening."

"I now seriously doubt the authenticity of those hit drama ratings."

"What the hell is the difference between this and extortion? Are TV stations bandits?"

"I'm utterly disappointed with domestic TV dramas. In the past, actors were paid exorbitant salaries; now, they're buying ratings. How can high-quality content be produced in such an environment?"

"Who is this Mr. Jiang? How dare he expose the unspoken rules of the TV station at the Weibo Night event? Isn't he afraid of becoming the target of public criticism?"

"I admire his courage, awesome."

"You must check out any films or TV series produced by President Jiang."

"..."

Jiang Beicheng didn't pay attention to Weibo's trending topics, but he was now at the forefront of public opinion, and the TV station he exposed was also pushed into the eye of the storm.

Moreover, all the relevant personnel from the TV station were brought up for discussion and analysis by netizens.

This is a common phenomenon in today's online environment.

Whenever negative social news breaks, the people responsible are the first to be doxxed.

Shen Jun closely monitored public opinion. Jiang Beicheng had already taken this step, so there was no turning back. She had to do the relevant support work and handle any subsequent events.

In short, we must not let President Jiang be implicated.

“President Jiang, this matter has had a huge social impact, and the local propaganda department will definitely take some drastic measures.” Shen Jun analyzed, “Once they suppress the public opinion, they will definitely turn their attention to you.”

The party and government delegation from Jiangnan City has just finished its inspection tour in Zhejiang Province and will come to Shanghai for further inspection tomorrow.

Should we contact the Party Secretary and the others?

Jiang Beicheng understood Shen Jun's meaning: he wanted the leader of Jiangnan City to say a few words.

He has achieved his goal.

Next, the conflict was resolved as quickly as possible.

Making big problems small and small problems disappear is a more prudent approach.

Just then, a delegation of party and government officials from Jiangnan City came to the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai area to inspect economic development.

The team was led by the boss himself.

Jiang Beicheng and the boss have a good relationship.

The eldest brother highly values ​​him, a local private entrepreneur.

His rank is the same as the boss's here.

When bosses talk, their subordinates will definitely listen carefully.

Jiang Beicheng felt he had the face to back it up, but he didn't want to use it.

Try to solve problems using business methods.

With so many TV stations and online platforms, Yizhi Culture Media won't put all its eggs in one basket.

On the other hand, local TV stations have suffered a great loss by missing out on Yizhi Cultural Media, a high-quality content provider.

And this wave of public opinion is going to be a real headache for you guys.

So no matter how public opinion shifts, Jiangbei City remains calm.

"The leaders are busy with official duties, so I won't bother them with such a small matter," Jiang Beicheng said calmly.

She got up and went to the bathroom: "Aunt Shen, give me a back rub."

"I'll go run some hot water for you first." Shen Jun went to the bathroom to run the water for Jiang Beicheng.

While Jiang Beicheng was changing into his bathrobe, Liu Yifei made him a video call.

He burst into laughter upon seeing Jiang Beicheng completely naked.

She felt that Jiang Beicheng did it on purpose.

However, she didn't dislike this kind of quirky humor, because the other party was Jiang Beicheng.

After laughing, he asked with concern, "Did you go play the hero again tonight?"

The topic of Jiang Beicheng challenging the TV station at the Weibo Night awards ceremony was mentioned.

"Is Xixi going to advise me or encourage me?" Jiang Beichen asked with a smile.

“Your baby and I have the utmost respect for you!” Liu Yifei gestured.

She was certainly aware of these unspoken rules in the Chinese entertainment industry.

But since I'm making a living from this, even if I don't like it, I have to pretend I don't see it.

But that doesn't mean she likes this environment.

This is also an important reason why she remains unconventional, making others feel that she is difficult to get along with and not the kind of person who is easy to talk to.

Both sides discussed cooperation in a straightforward manner, setting aside all other complexities. Jiang Beicheng clutched his chest and smiled, saying, "I feel the support of my family; it's very warm here."

"Hahaha, it's so rare to hear such gentle words from you. Sending you love, biubiubiubiu~"

Liu Yifei looks adorable tonight.

Actually, she was also annoyed by this TV station this time.

Just because she didn't attend their awards ceremony, she was subjected to all sorts of gossip and harsh comments.

The TV station didn't come forward to clarify, letting public opinion fester and portraying itself as the innocent party.

She clearly never agreed to go; she had already ended her work in China and flown here to rest and prepare for childbirth.

If she weren't afraid that negative emotions would affect her pregnancy, she would have definitely stood up and said a few words.

This is completely different from those rumors.

That's an insult to her character.

Her man's performance tonight gave her a good time too.

Celebrities may be afraid of your TV station, but President Jiang won't fall for those coercive and enticement tricks.

"Let me hear the baby's voice."

“He’s only this small.” Liu Yifei smiled brightly, gesturing to Jiang Beicheng that he was just a tiny peanut. She also cooperated by placing the phone receiver on her stomach to comfort Jiang Beicheng.

"At any time, your baby and I will always be your strong support." Liu Yifei smiled gently, her affection evident.

Jiang Beicheng nodded.

Some ripples still stirred in my heart.

From the moment this baby was born, Liu Yifei was a member of the Jiang family, and there was no dispute about that.

Therefore, encouragement and support from family members can easily win a man's heart.

"After I finish my business in Africa after the New Year, I will fly over to see you."

"Mmm, my baby and I are looking forward to seeing you, baby, goodnight."

After hanging up the video call, Jiang Beicheng went to take a bath.

……

The following morning, Jiangbei City received numerous messages and emails from the television station, as well as phone calls from certain leaders.

Jiang Beicheng pretended not to know and didn't answer a single call.

Then Yizhi Culture Media started getting entangled with them.

Although it was called a negotiation and exchange, the words actually revealed a condescending attitude.

CEO Liu Tao felt threatened.

It's not okay if you don't play with them anymore.

They also want you to step forward and eliminate the negative impact according to their wishes.

Liu Tao guessed that President Jiang must have rejected their request, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get through to him on the phone.

His attitude certainly couldn't be as tough as President Jiang's; he could only be more tactful and play it safe.

The TV station director, Mr. Huang, was so anxious he was jumping up and down.

The higher-ups are already looking into this matter.

If they still can't come up with an explanation, the Standing Committee members will probably have to get involved in this matter.

"I'm currently accompanying the Party Secretary to receive a delegation from Jiangnan City to inspect economic work. You'd better submit a report before today, otherwise I can't stop you from doing this."

The supervisor reminded him over the phone.

Director Huang verbally agreed, then used swift and decisive measures to remove the trending topic from Weibo. Even if everyone knew that Jiang Beicheng was talking about him, he couldn't stand up and make any explanation or statement.

Otherwise, it would become something that's out in the open.

At that point, the organization had no choice but to intervene and investigate.

Cao Guowei doesn't value a TV station that much. He has already returned to Beijing. If it were a leader in Beijing who contacted them, they would probably follow instructions.

Ignore that for now and continue to capitalize on this surge in traffic.

Director Huang now wants to unleash a torrent of abuse on Jiangbei City.

"Notify Yizhi Culture Media that if Jiangbei City does not come forward to communicate, Yizhi Culture Media will be directly blacklisted by the TV station and will never cooperate with them again."

Letters were also sent to other satellite TV stations, making them aware of the egregious nature of Jiangbei City's actions and how they severely damaged the content ecosystem of television stations…
