The power dynamics within the television station were rather strict.
It was doubtful whether they’d win this fight, had not the bigwigs taken collective action.
Their biggest fear was that the advertisers would withdraw en masse, which would affect the station's revenue for the upcoming year.
The outrage on the networks didn't seem that big of a deal to the Old Station Director. If a simple intern could quell the majority of the unrest, then what would be the impact of "Starry Sky Kindergarten", an Internet sensation?
@Flushg: This Old Station Director needs to enroll in Starry Sky Kindergarten to learn so modern lessons!
They were not on the sa level.
Most people would seek for peace in such situations.
However, unexpectedly, the opponents flipped the table – indeed, young people do react differently.
The Old Station Director was taught a lesson in his twilight years.
Those wealthy bigwigs siding with Shen Wei didn't do so because of her imnse power.
It was because Shen Wei was one of the prominent, exceptional individuals of her generation.
They had more or less interacted with her at parties prior and felt that her accomplishnt in scaling up a kindergarten to its present size in just over a year was no easy feat.

Seeing Shen Wei being bullied was akin to slapping their local tycoons - it's a matter of pride.
Hence, everyone ca forward to defend her, coupled with the strength of Shen Wei, the power of the student's parents, and the hidden Gu Group.
And naturally, the situation turned into what it is today.
Netizens were also furious.
They had seen unpleasant people before, but never quite as repugnant as these people.
Outrage surged as they identified with Starry Sky Kindergarten who had over a million fans and was being treated atrociously.
Wouldn't those lesser known individuals be completely chewed and swallowed at their workplaces?
The cursing beca more aggressive.
Even disabling the comnt section did little to stem the tide.
Various private ssages and tags flooded in.
Web users were followers of popular sentint – when the wall falls, everyone pushes.
@Leinyll: Rember when 'going viral' was a bad thing? Pepperidge Farm rembers.
Observing the surge in attention, other internet celebrities joined in the condemnation which fueled the carnival-like atmosphere.
The number of posts bashing the Cake Station were overwhelming, appearing to be endless.
Cake Station, a big local TV station, and its employees enjoyed their share of the lilight.
By the sa token, if they were publicly embarrassed, it would be quite a face-losing event.
Even the upper echelons of Cake Station couldn’t help but pay attention.
They had to minimize the impact of the situation.
In a well-established system like theirs, during a crisis, they could spare no cost.
So, a large number of videos attacking the TV station began to co down.
Except for the Starry Sky Kindergarten video, the comnts were being deleted.
The original tens of thousands of comnts were now only in the low thousands.
Their trending topic quickly quieted down.
The TV station, regardless of the cost, finally managed to suppress the trend.
They imdiately dispatched soone to negotiate with Shen Wei at the Starry Sky Kindergarten.
The man they sent was young and nad Shi Zhong. Average in appearance, he had a peculiar charm about him.0Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin(.)c𝒐m
He appeared to always greet everyone with a smile.
In Shen Wei's mind, the system was sending frantic alerts.
"The system detects that Shi Zhong is a hidden character in the book, a new task is released. Assist Shi Zhong in standing firm in Cake Station, the reward is 20% reversal of the original plot."
The system soon brought up his track record.
He was like a hidden figure
In the original book, he's caused a considerable trouble for Shen Qingqing.
In the end, Shen Qingqing couldn't topple him.
It was only after he failed to make any achievents in the city's television station and then moved abroad,
that Shen Qingqing could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
If Shi Zhong could have a firm foothold in the television station, Shen Qingqing wouldn't have had any chance of mischief.
Taking a look at Shi Zhong's resu, it was mundane and average, surprisingly causing so much trouble for Shen Qingqing.
It showed that this man was deep and cunning, and a wolf in sheep's clothing.
@blup9: I bet Shi Zhong's LinkedIn profile just says 'Nice guy, definitely not planning world domination'.
Shen Wei imdiately had the idea to help him. The enemy of an enemy is a friend.
More so, the reward offered by the system was very generous.
The 1st ti was when Lin Rui was brought in
As Shen Qingqing's romantic rival, she shifted 15% of the plot.
The 2nd ti, it was Qin Shu. As Shen Qingqing's right-hand man, he shifted another 15% of the plot.
This ti, it straight up would shift 20%, aning if this goes well, half of the original plot would change.
Shen Wei, who had been cooperating with the system for such a long ti, was clear about the power of the system.
Including the reminder of getting a dical check-up for his parents.
Early stage cancer is hard to detect.
But this early warning dramatically changed Shen Wei's previous tragic fate. Therefore, this 20% reward is sothing that Shen Wei must win!
Later, the two went into a room to negotiate for so ti.
No one knew what they were discussing.
When Shi Zhong ca out, the two had a new contract.
By the ti Lin Rui arrived, Shi Zhong had already left.
Angry, Lin Rui said to Shen Wei, “Even if you admit your mistakes, you should have a proper attitude. They just bring a young man over here, what does this an?”
Shen Wei kept smiling, “Sotis, it’s the young man who is the ga-changer.”
Lin Rui did not respond.
But very soon, it seed like there was a collective shuffling within the TV station which seed to affirm what Shen Wei had said.
When the Old Station Director retired, the people he once promoted felt awkward
The Deputy Director was one of the Old Station Director's n. As long as the Deputy Director could take over, they could maintain their prestige.
But who would have thought that the Deputy Director was transferred to a county television station.
Such places rely had television stations.
It was even hard to form a proper team.
A potential director of a well-established station was transferred there thus showing how much displeasure the higher-ups had towards him.
He caused a great damage to the station, both its reputation and financially.
All because of his poor decision, conflicts escalated.
The young people on the internet were collectively unhappy.
Even his colleagues were not happy.
Feeling unlucky, the Deputy Director thought that he was miserable enough.
He had no idea how to face his old friends.
After all, he had bragged a lot before.
The notice about his transfer to a county station just ca down; he imdiately took a year off.
Out of sight, out of mind. But who would have thought that it would cause more trouble.
He accepted bribes, but did not accomplish anything.
It's hard for a young person to get into a large station like this.
Sure, if you have real power, you can get a position, or you can just pay your way in.
People nowadays, they all want a decent job.
He took the money and was ousted.
How could those people who have spent hundreds of thousands accept it.
And so accusatory letters began to co in like snowflakes.
This ti, they were accompanied by lawsuits.
Misappropriation of official funds and fraud, to top it all off.
This was already a very serious criminal issue.
They sued him directly, demanding not only that he return all the money but also that he be imprisoned.
Due to the large sum involved, he was sentenced to 10 years straight away.
When the Deputy Director received the verdict, he was gobsmacked.
He wasn't the only one doing this, so why was he the only one who was so unlucky and got locked up.
@Bli: 10 years? That's a long ti to think about why honesty is the best policy after all.
