I asked you to write a light novel, but you wrote about living?

Zhao Hongbo's face turned ashen.

In all his years as Chief Operating Officer of Cloud Atlas, when has he ever been questioned like this by senior management?

But the data is right there on the screen.

He couldn't refute it.

After the release of "To Live", Weiguang gained a foothold by leveraging the popularity of this work.

When it came to "The Old Man and the Sea," the resources and channels that Cloud Atlas invested in recommending the book not only failed to divert much attention, but actually further increased its popularity.

The blurry projection didn't continue looking at him.

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

Then, the indistinct sound rang out again.

"Shen Chengzhang."

On the right side of the long table, a middle-aged man who had remained silent slowly raised his head.

The man looked to be around forty years old.

From the start of the meeting until now, he has been sitting quietly, flipping through the paper documents in his hands.

In an era where all information can be directly transmitted from AI to the brain-computer interface, this habit seems somewhat out of place.

Shen Chengzhang.

Head of the Author Ecosystem Division at Yuntu Literature.

He doesn't manage the platform's algorithms, nor does he manage public relations.

Instead, it comprises a large number of contracted authors, top studios, instructors, and inspiration miners who rely on the platform's computing power for survival.

From top-tier contracts for platinum and hall-of-fame authors to how much free computing power grassroots writers can get every day.

From copyright disputes between studios to the distribution of profits among various author guilds.

The most complex relationship network in the Cloud Atlas creation platform almost all passed through his hands.

"Starting today, you are promoted to Executive Vice President of Content Ecosystem."

The voice spoke calmly.

On both sides of the conference table, many people's expressions changed.

Executive Vice President of Content Ecosystem.

This position had been vacant for almost two years.

Its responsibilities extend far beyond author management.

Content production, author ecosystem, studio collaboration, copyright development, and the allocation of some recommendation resources will all be reassigned to Shen Chengzhang's purview.

in other words.

From today onwards, Shen Chengzhang will no longer be just the person in charge of managing authors.

He will be directly involved in the operation of the entire Cloud Atlas content system.

A significant portion of these powers were originally held by the operational system overseen by Zhao Hongbo.

Zhao Hongbo's eyes darkened slightly.

He certainly understood what this appointment meant.

The board did not remove him from his position as chief operating officer.

There was not even a public reduction in his authority.

However, once Shen Chengzhang is promoted, many things that were previously decided solely by the operations department will now have someone who can directly intervene.

In particular, the coordination between authors, content, and recommendation resources.

That was originally one of Zhao Hongbo's most important sources of power.

"Next, Cloud Atlas' content production system needs to be readjusted."

The figure at the far end of the conference room continued speaking:

"In recent years, the platform's data has continued to grow, but the content duplication rate, user fatigue, and waste of resources in author studios have also been rising."

"The changes in the dim light simply brought these issues to the forefront earlier."

"I don't want the operations department to just pile up recommendation slots and pollute keywords again when a similar situation occurs next time, and then blame the result on readers being out of control."

This statement did not name names.

But it was practically tantamount to slapping Zhao Hongbo in the face again in front of everyone.

Zhao Hongbo's hand, which was under the table, was already clenched into a fist.

"Shen Chengzhang."

"Next, you will be in charge of reorganizing Cloud Atlas's author ecosystem and content production department."

"The HR department will send you the specific permission adjustments within today."

"As for how to do it..."

The blurry figure paused for a moment.

I only care about the results.

Shen Chengzhang slowly closed the paper documents in his hand.

"clear."

He offered no explanation.

No plans were presented at the meeting.

It seemed that this sudden promotion didn't evoke much emotion in him.

The figure at the end of the long table didn't ask any more questions.

The person sitting in that position doesn't care what methods the people below are prepared to use.

He only needs Yuntu to continue to occupy the largest traffic entrance in the entire online literature market.

As for Yu Huashi.

As for glimmer literature.

It's just one of the more noticeable variables in this content system adjustment.

Meeting adjourned.

The words fell.

The holographic projection quickly disappeared at the end of the conference room.

The heavy atmosphere that had been weighing on everyone's heads finally eased a little.

The executives got up and left one after another.

As people passed by Shen Chengzhang, some stopped to congratulate the newly promoted Executive Vice President of Content Ecosystem.

Shen Chengzhang simply nodded politely.

There was no hint of pride on his face.

Zhao Hongbo remained seated in the same spot.

No one dared to approach him and speak to him at that moment.

Only after almost everyone in the conference room had left did he slowly raise his head and look at the seat where Shen Chengzhang had just been sitting.

The desktop was completely empty.

Zhao Hongbo understood this very well.

Shen Chengzhang's promotion was not solely due to Yu Huashi and Weiguang Literature.

The board of directors has long been dissatisfied with Cloud Atlas's current bloated content system.

This incident merely gave them a reason to redistribute power.

But for Zhao Hongbo, it made no difference.

Shen Chengzhang gained an extra bit of power.

He will then have one less thing in his hands.

Moreover, the other party has just been promoted and what they need most is a record of their achievements.

What is the most prominent problem facing the entire cloud map now?

Micro-Light Literature.

There is also Yu Huashi.

If Shen Chengzhang had handled this matter first, the board of directors would naturally have credited him for all the credit.

By then, who will remember Zhao Hongbo, the operations manager who made a series of misjudgments?

Zhao Hongbo is unlikely to relinquish the initiative.

He also didn't have time to wait for Shen Chengzhang to slowly complete the so-called content system adjustment.

This matter must be resolved before the other party actually takes action.

Zhao Hongbo returned to his office.

The door was closed.

The surrounding glass walls automatically darkened, cutting off all views from the outside.

Zhao Hongbo opened the encrypted communication and dialed a number.

The holographic screen lights up.

Pei Zhixing sat in the study of Xinghui Mansion, with the brightly lit night view of Shangcheng District visible through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows behind him.

"Mr. Zhao."

"You look so pale; it seems today's meeting didn't bring any good news."
