Chapter 338 Douyin Meeting, Ma Yun Discusses Cooperation
"Xiao Yi, wake up, we've arrived at the airport."

"Hmm~"

Hearing a shout in a daze, Meng Ziyi frowned slightly and tried to open his eyes.

A burst of golden light was so dazzling that she instinctively squinted back into her eyes and turned to immerse herself in that familiar scent.

Burying his face in the soft, warm trench coat, Meng Ziyi scratched his head haphazardly and murmured, "Xiu-ge'er, is it dawn?"

"Um……"

Chen Xiu replied in a strange voice.

Meng's reaction time is naturally slow, and the exhaustion from eating a late-night snack and working late into the night made the idea of ​​staying in bed take over.

"I'll sleep a little longer... Hmm? What's this thing? It's soft and hard?"

The sensation on her hand felt strange, but Meng Ziyi still didn't remove her face from Chen Xiu's clothes. Instead, she squeezed the strange thing a little harder.

Strangely, Chen Xiu also stopped talking.

After pinching it a couple of times and feeling something was really wrong, Meng Ziyi slowly raised his head, squinting as he opened his eyes to check the situation.

One of her hands was gripping Chen Xiu's collar, while the other grabbed Chen Xiu's chin and covered her mouth...

"Hey! I'm holding your chin, why aren't you saying anything?"

"..."

Although the constriction on her chin was gone, Chen Xiu still didn't know how to answer this question.

Meeting her boyfriend's gaze, Meng Ziyi, startled, sat there in a daze for a while before raising her right index finger with bright eyes.

"Oh~~, I've pinched your mouth shut, so you can't speak."

"laugh!"

What was originally nothing funny suddenly became a source of uncontrollable laughter after Meng Ziyi's enlightening explanation.

Knowing that he was laughing at her, Meng Ziyi persisted and made a scene for a while.

After the two finished their unique way of waking him up, Chen Xiucai said, "Xiao Yi, we've arrived at the airport."

"Oh? Right, I need to get back to the production crew today. What time is it now?"

"Don't worry, we arrived an hour early, and we still have 45 minutes left, enough time to check in."

"oh oh."

Chen Xiu's habitual practice of taking extra time put Meng Ziyi at ease.

After glancing at the assistant waiting outside the car, Meng Ziyi pursed her lips and opened her arms to hug Chen Xiu.

"Brother Xiu, I need to go lay bricks now."

"Ah."

"Don't go to... no, go as little as possible while I'm gone... never mind, do whatever you want."

"I'll wait for you to come back."

With her arms held tightly, Chen Xiu could only lower her head and kiss Meng Ziyi on the forehead.

With his eyes closed, feeling Chen Xiu's breath come and go, Meng Ziyi snorted through his nose.

Immediately, as if an alarm clock had rung, she moved swiftly, putting on a mask and a hat, and in less than 10 seconds, she had already opened the car door and jumped out.

In the brief moment before the car door closed automatically, Meng Ziyi turned around and waved, and Chen Xiu inside the car did the same.

……

Upon returning from the airport, Chen Xiu went straight to Douyin Company and began an internal meeting to discuss the direction of rectification.

Upon arriving at the conference room, he found that Su Xiao, Zhang Yiming, and several other senior executives at the director level were already there.

Seeing Chen Xiu arrive, Su Xiao checked the attendees again, then stood up and said, "OK, everyone is here. Today's meeting topic is the direction of Douyin's content rectification. Please let President Chen tell us."

"Thank you."

Chen Xiu stood up, nodded to Su Xiao, and then connected the PowerPoint presentation she had prepared during her journey to and from the airport to the projector computer.

Page 1: Rectification of self-media and short video content.

"Efficiency is always our top priority in meetings, so I'll skip the small talk and get straight to the point."

After finishing her presentation, Chen Xiu took the controller from Su Xiao and opened the next slide of the PowerPoint presentation.

"Starting from the beginning of this year, the 'Win Prizes by Answering Questions with Cash' campaign launched by Wang Sicong became a trending topic on Weibo. Toutiao, Huajiao, Huya… and even we launched similar campaigns, trying to capitalize on this wave of easy-to-operate and eye-catching traffic."

"As we all know, the online audio-visual live quiz shows were required to be more strictly regulated. Without a license, no platform or individual may operate an online live quiz show."

As Zhang Yiming said a few days ago, the authorities had probably been planning to regulate self-media for a long time, and this year was just the official start.

After finishing the introduction, Chen Xiu reiterated the rectification requirements he had received the day before.

"...Among the things I mentioned above, the cleanup and rectification of illegal and vulgar short videos is of paramount importance. During the implementation process, we need to maintain a cautious approach and not take any chances. The colleagues in the review department should come up with a plan as soon as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Those whose names were called upon quickly stood up and responded.

Chen Xiu looked at him and continued, "This rectification campaign will not end in a short time; it may last for several months or even a year. The audit department has a heavy workload, so we can increase its staffing."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

"One thing we need to pay special attention to is that if a self-media streamer from another platform publishes inappropriate remarks or content on other platforms, we must also deal with their account immediately." "Okay."

The director of the review department, who was just happy because of the large number of people, immediately became sullen when he heard that the task had become more demanding.

After discussing the review process, Chen Xiu went to the technical department, where the person in charge was her brother-in-law, Su Yu.

"In addition to review, we also need to develop an anti-addiction mode similar to that used in games."

Should I send a pop-up notification?

"Try to be as gentle as possible."

"clear."

After explaining this, Chen Xiu selected several key items on Douyin that needed to be rectified or banned, and declared that these items would be dealt with immediately after the meeting.

The controller moved continuously, and finally the PowerPoint presentation stopped at the last page, which contained only one sentence: Record the beauty of life!
"This is the company's new slogan. I discussed and decided on it with General Manager Zhang and General Manager Su yesterday. It will be added in the next software update."

The task wasn't difficult, so Su Yu readily agreed.

Chen Xiu held meetings without uttering a single unnecessary word.

After he finished speaking, Zhang Yiming got up again to add to his statement.

Toutiao also received rectification requirements. The exchange of information between the two companies can help each other reduce the time costs and business losses during the rectification period.

Zhang Yiming's meeting style is also very concise, without a single empty or formulaic word. He finishes speaking one moment and sits down the next.

Su Xiao finally stood up and used the notes in the folder to summarize the previous meeting, and then convened a brief meeting for March...

The meeting ended, everyone dispersed, and Zhang Yiming also got up to leave.

Chen Xiu asked in confusion, "Old Zhang, are you leaving?"

"Yes! Toutiao is also having a meeting, and the rectification content should be pretty much the same. You two keep an eye on things here! I need to rush back and keep an eye on things over there."

After saying that, Zhang Yiming casually waved his hand twice and followed the others out of the conference room.

After everyone had left and the conference room door was closed, Chen Xiu turned to look at Su Xiao, only to be greeted by a folder.

"Smack!" The folder hit my forehead, but it didn't hurt.

Su Xiao's voice rang out immediately after: "We can talk about it tonight, I have to go to work."

"Oh."

As soon as she finished answering, Chen Xiu felt the folder covering her face being removed, and in its place was Su Xiao's magnified face.

A damp sensation touched her forehead, then quickly disappeared, followed by the sound of the glass door turning.

Leaning back in her chair, Chen Xiu's nostrils flared as she inhaled the lingering scent of Su Xiao's perfume. She thought to herself, "TF Orange Blossom. It's so refreshing, yet the scent lasts a long time. Just like her personality..."

After working on Douyin all day, Chen Xiu drove to the dinner location that Ma Yun had sent her the night before as dusk fell.

Chengfu Banquet, located in the courtyard at No. 38 Nanchang Street, has each private room being an independent courtyard room.

Chen Xiu was led to the east wing by a waitress in a bright red cheongsam. What came into view was a bodyguard in a black suit waiting in the courtyard, and the warm orange light and hot air blowing out from the open door.

Seeing the waitress stop, Chen Xiu nodded slightly to her and stepped into the room alone.

Upon entering, before anyone was seen, the sounds could already be heard.

However, the voice was not Ma Yun's, but a shrill female voice from Jiangnan Kunqu Opera, accompanied by a pipa, with its high and low pitches, which made Chen Xiu feel annoyed.

"Mr. Ma?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the Kunqu opera disappeared instantly, replaced by Ma Yun's voice, which wasn't particularly pleasant either.

"Hahaha! Mr. Chen, you've kept me waiting for quite a while!"

The curtains were lifted and lowered with a tinkling sound, and Ma Yun, dressed casually, walked confidently and calmly from the heated room in the private room to the front hall.

Chen Xiu turned to look at him, and he stopped in his tracks and looked at Chen Xiu in return.

This was the first time the two had met since the end of last year's Internet Conference.

After a moment, Ma Yun spoke first: "Hehe, I thought that even if you weren't in a bad mood today, you would at least look a little tired. But you still look so confident, reserved, and energetic. It seems that drinking tea yesterday didn't have any effect on you!"

"When a business grows bigger, drinking tea is inevitable. If you can be affected by this, then you are too fragile."

Chen Xiu smiled and walked towards Ma Yun, extending her hand to him.

Ma Yun lowered her gaze to his hand, smiled and gently shook it twice, then turned and went inside.

"Come in! I can't even start eating until you're here!"

"Mr. Ma, you're too kind."

Chen Xiu followed him inside. In the warm room, besides a large round table with a copper pot on it, there were also various fresh ingredients on display.

Looking at the wisps of steam rising from the copper pot and the neatly arranged ingredients on the table, Chen Xiu finally believed Ma Yun's claim that "it's impossible to eat."

The two sat down, and Ma Yun was about to pick up the decanter when Chen Xiu pressed her hand down first.

"Mr. Ma, let's not rush into drinking. Why don't you tell me why you invited me to dinner?"

"So urgent? Do you have other appointments?"

"It was just a sleeping arrangement, but I don't understand why you suddenly asked me to have dinner. I feel uneasy about it."

"Alright! It doesn't matter whether you say it sooner or later. The main reason I invited you to dinner today is to discuss a collaboration..."
