Qiu Tianhua begged carefully over the phone.
He knew very well what the cultural department meant by “reform.” The intensity could be big or small.
If he wanted to let you off, he would at most give you a verbal warning.
However, if he really wanted to screw you over, he could always find all kinds of reasons.
Their Cuttlefish Platform indeed had many problems that could not be investigated.
Right now, the life and death of the Cuttlefish Platform is in Ye Feng’s hands.
“Boss Qiu, did you find the wrong person? I’m just an ordinary citizen. How can I be merciful?” Ye Feng knew that Feng Shaokun must have used his connections, but he continued to act dumb.
“Mr. Ye, we just received a notice from the head of the cultural department saying that we are suspected of leading a bad atmosphere in society and that the entire platform needs to be reformed. You must know about this. As long as you’re willing to let us go, we’ll agree to any condition you raise…”
“Boss Qiu, you really think too highly of me. I’m really just an ordinary citizen.”
“Since the higher-ups want you to reform it, then you should reform it according to the requirements. If there is, then change it. If there is nothing, then improve yourself.” Ye Feng continued to play dumb with him.
However, Qiu Tianhua seemed to have understood something from his words. “Mr. Ye, I understand. There is indeed a major problem with the production team of ‘Oh, Man.’ It will be suspended indefinitely from now on. We will also thoroughly investigate all the members of the program team. If we find any problems, we will definitely punish them severely!”
In order to protect the Cuttlefish Platform, he did not need to hesitate at all to sacrifice a show and a few program team members.
“This is your business. It has nothing to do with me.”
Ye Feng did not say anything and returned the phone to Fang Qingquan.
“President Qiu, please speak. I’m listening.” Although they were separated by a phone, Fang Qingquan still bowed and showed a flattering expression.
“Fang Qingquan, I’m now announcing on behalf of the platform that there’s a major problem with your ‘Oh, Man’ production team. It’s going to be suspended indefinitely…” The moment Qiu Tianhua opened his mouth, he directly announced the death penalty for this program.
Fang Qingquan was stunned. “President Qiu, how can this be? Our show is one of the platform’s trump cards. How can we stop it just like that?”
When Meina heard his words, she panicked. “What did President Qiu say? Is he going to stop broadcasting our show? How could this be? Hurry up and beg him for mercy…”
“Shut up!”
Fang Qingquan had a headache from her noise and immediately turned around and roared.
Meina was so frightened that she shrank to the side and did not dare to speak again.
Only then did Fang Qingquan continue to plead pitifully into the phone, “President Qiu, please reconsider. Our production team has made great contributions to the platform…”
“There’s no need to consider it. It’s decided.” Qiu Tianhua cut him off decisively.
Fang Qingquan heard his tone and knew that there was no room for negotiation. He could only settle for the next best thing. “Then our production team can start another show. The ‘Oh, Woman’ that I mentioned to you a few days ago can be put on the agenda.”
“There’s no need for that. The people from your program team, including Meina, have caused a bad influence on the platform. Just wait to face an investigation.”
“What? Investigation? Investigate what?”
“Investigate how much negative impact you have caused to the platform before deciding what punishment you should receive. If the impact is bad, you may face a lawsuit.”
“President Qiu, aren’t you being too ruthless? You know our program very well. You even praised us two days ago, but now…”
“Don’t blame me for being ruthless. Who asked you to offend the big boss?”
“If I don’t deal with you, they will deal with me. You can go and beg Mr. Ye. As long as he’s willing to let you go, I’ll be happy to see it.”
Qiu Tianhua hung up the phone.
Fang Qingquan was stunned for a while, but he suddenly regained his senses and quickly walked to Ye Feng. “Mister Ye, we are really sorry, we failed to recognize you and offended you. I hope you can be magnanimous and let us off.”
Ye Feng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit a cigarette for himself. “It’s useless even if you beg me, it’s not like I want to make things difficult for you.”
What he said was the truth. After all, it was Feng Shaokun who used his connections to pressure the Cuttlefish Platform.
Qiu Tianhua was the one who decided to ban their show.
He did not partic.i.p.ate in the entire process.
But how could Fang Qingquan believe his words? He knew that such empty talk would not move Ye Feng.
His brain was working quickly, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He pulled over Meina, who was still in a daze, and gave Ye Feng a sinister smile. “Mr. Ye, Meina has booked a room at the hotel tonight, she would like to ask for your opinion on how to improve the show, please be generous with your advice.”
His act of being a pimp was too obvious. He didn’t even care about his face.
“Fang Qingquan, what do you mean? Who do you think I am?”
Meina instantly exploded. Wasn’t this asking her to be a prost.i.tute?
Fang Qingquan glared at her fiercely. “If you want to see the show being stopped and the few of us facing huge claims from the platform, then continue to maintain your aloofness.”
“Stop broadcasting? Claims?”
Meina was stunned when she heard these two keywords.
She was able to gain both fame and fortune entirely because of this “Oh, Man” program. If the program was stopped, all of this would vanish into thin air, not to mention the huge claims.
It only took her a second to put down her reservations and give Ye Feng a flattering smile. “Mr. Ye, are you free tonight? Let’s have a meal together?”
It was different from the previous few times when he pretended to be pretentious for the sake of the show’s effect.
This time, her att.i.tude was so sincere.
“I’m not free.”
Ye Feng ignored Meina’s flattery and turned around to leave.
Meina no longer cared about her dignity, she knelt on the ground and hugged Ye Feng’s thigh tightly. “Mister Ye, I beg you, please forgive us, I beg you…”
Her action was so sudden that everyone present was shocked.
Meina could be considered a public figure, but she actually knelt down and begged for mercy in front of everyone. Wasn’t this too lowly?
Many people looked at Ye Feng.
In the face of a woman’s pleading, there were probably not many men who could be cold-hearted.
They guessed that he would be soft-hearted.
However, it was beyond their expectations once again.
Not only did Ye Feng not show any sympathy, he even pushed Meina away forcefully.
He only said coldly, “I just want you to experience what it means to be bullied by others.” Then, he turned around and left.
Meina, Fang Qingquan, and the others fell into deep despair.
What awaited them would be severe punishment from the platform.
On the contrary, the surrounding crowd looked at Ye Feng’s back with admiration.
“This young man is obviously up to something big.”
“That’s right. He was brutal but didn’t have too many words. He would definitely become great in the future.”
“Especially his last sentence, ‘I just want you to experience what it means to be bullied by others.’ It’s so cool.”
“That’s right. Someone has to deal with people who bully others.”
“This handsome man is simply the light of the righteous path…”
