Feiyue Group’s CEO, An Yujia, personally represented Feiyue dia in discussions with Douban.
However.
The outco of the discussion was far from ideal.
An Yujia’s request was straightforward: just as Principal Ding had suggested, she wanted Douban to investigate the users who maliciously gave low scores to "The Legend of Fairy Sword." This should have been sothing Douban was capable of doing.
Yet Douban refused to comply with Feiyue dia’s request, stating that its users have the freedom to rate as they wish. Douban, as a platform, has no right to interfere with user ratings, nor could it disclose the identities of those rating the show—even for Feiyue dia.
It was evident that Douban was unwilling to cooperate with Feiyue dia.
In response, An Yujia found herself at an impasse.
After all, Feiyue dia had no collaboration or relationship with Douban, nor did Feiyue Group. If that was the case, how could they force Douban to comply? Even if they wanted to, they couldn’t impose such demands.
No options left.
An Yujia could only report the outco of the discussion to Principal Ding.
"Hmph, Douban is truly abusing its position now,"
Ding Yue sneered upon hearing the result. "Over the years, Douban’s reputation has been declining, to the point where people who’ve never even watched a series can maliciously give low scores. Look at what Douban has beco."
"Principal Ding, according to our information, Douban appears to have so investnt backing from Penguin Group,"
An Yujia explained.
"I’ve known that for a long ti."
Ding Yue nodded slightly and said, "If that’s the case, then let’s develop our own professional scoring system. Right on the Feiyue Ho streaming dia platform, we can have viewers submit ratings after they’ve actually watched the content. Why should we care about Douban’s biases anymore?"
"Principal Ding is absolutely right,"
An Yujia agreed wholeheartedly. "I’ve been thinking the sa. If Douban won’t provide a fair environnt for users to rate content, then we should build a system that genuinely stands for fairness."
"Alright, this task will be entrusted to you, Miss An."
Ding Yue agreed. "But rember, Miss An, we cannot show favoritism just because it’s our own platform. If we’re letting viewers rate content, the system must uphold fairness and impartiality."
"Of course, I will ensure that remains the case."
An Yujia nodded firmly, her tone resolute.
"By the way, Principal Ding, there’s another matter I believe might be important, and I’d like to discuss it with you,"
An Yujia suddenly thought of sothing and imdiately ntioned it to Ding Yue.
"Oh? What is it?"
Ding Yue asked curiously.
"A few days ago, Zhang Wu, the General Manager of Penguin Video under Q Entertainnt dia, reached out to through certain connections. He said he wanted to discuss sothing with Feiyue dia,"
An Yujia promptly reported.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing it involved Q Entertainnt dia, Ding Yue imdiately asked, "What business could they possibly discuss with us?"
At present, Feiyue dia and Q Entertainnt dia were practically sworn enemies. The two had no cooperative ties whatsoever and were engaged entirely in competition. Even their prior partnership with Bilibili had dissolved entirely—now there was absolutely no connection. Moreover, Feiyue dia’s Feiyue Ho streaming dia platform posed a significant threat to Bilibili.
Bilibili primarily focused on original videos, while the Feiyue Ho streaming dia platform had attracted nurous creators of original content—including many students from Mist City Arts and Science University who had beco content creators on the platform. On top of that, Feiyue Ho featured several blockbuster dramas, making original materials readily available. However, due to copyright issues, Bilibili couldn’t use these licensed works from Feiyue Ho to create videos or mash-ups.
"Principal Ding, it’s not what you think. Mr. Zhang Wu seems to be looking to switch sides,"
An Yujia clarified, shaking her head.
"Switch sides?"
Ding Yue’s interest was imdiately piqued, and he smiled. "So he wants to leave the dark and move toward the light, huh?"
For soone from Penguin Video, leaving their company and defecting to Feiyue dia was equivalent to abandoning darkness for the light, wasn’t it?
After all, anyone with insight could see—what had Penguin Video beco now?
Contrast that with Feiyue dia and the Feiyue Ho streaming dia platform, which were steadily advancing toward a bright future!
"I believe that’s the case. But I think Mr. Zhang Wu is only trying to gauge what opportunities Feiyue dia could offer—perhaps securing himself a backup plan,"
An Yujia analyzed thoughtfully.
"A backup plan?"
Ding Yue stroked his chin, pondered for a mont, then suddenly chuckled coldly and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhang Wu’s vision is much sharper than that of Q Entertainnt dia’s Chairman Chen Xueming."
"Why do you say that, Principal Ding?"
An Yujia asked, puzzled.
But monts later, she caught on.
After all, An Yujia was a clever woman—she only needed a mont’s reflection to grasp the reasoning.
