This made Ren Liang’s heart skip a beat. Now even President Xu wasn’t managing things. Did this an President Xu had given up on Light and Shadow Company because of his own reckless speculations, which led President Xu to think this way?
Filled with regret, he realized he had no choice but to call President Xu right away. Otherwise, it might be that President Xu’s anger had not yet subsided.
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out. There’s still work to be done."
He knew the boss didn’t like showing a less-than-stellar side of himself before others. Although Ren Liang was fairly courteous to them, it didn’t an he could let them know everything, including when he had to lower his pride.
So, after Pan Xuehai left, Ren Liang was truly at his wits’ end. If he had known it would co to this, he never would have offended the president.
But now, if he didn’t consult the president, sothing might genuinely go wrong, and perhaps the president had a better idea. It was all because he didn’t listen to the president back then.
Seeing Ren Liang’s call, Secretary Zhou brought it to Xu Ke, who shook his head.
"He must be very anxious now. Since he’s anxious, let’s let him stew a while longer. Why should we be anxious?"
"It’s in monts of anxiety that one tends to do foolish things."
Hearing Xu Ke’s words, Secretary Zhou paused for a mont and then laughed.
It seed the president intended to teach a lesson to the president of Light and Shadow Company, but of course, whatever the president did was right.
The secretary took the phone away, and Xu Ke continued to browse online comnts. Sure enough, as he expected, discussions were all leaning towards the Yu Group. Now, 99% of voices claid that their Xiao Group had plagiarized the Yu Group’s ideas, and the Yu Group was even planning to speak out publicly that evening.
Yu Hao thought this would make their company’s ani more engaging, yet despite Yu Hao’s every effort, their company’s ani just couldn’t succeed.
Because sothing that doesn’t work can’t be fixed by suppressing the competition.
And that 1% supporting the Xiao Group? Naturally, they were fans who had seen the Xiao Group’s ani, fans who were particularly furious. It had been years since they’d seen such good ani, so what were these people thinking, to call it plagiarism?
So, these fans exploded on Weibo. How could they call what they believed to be plagiarized? And were these people blind?
"Have you even seriously watched the ani? The two anis, one has an urban the, and the other a fantasy the, how could there be suspicion of plagiarism? Before you decide to champion Yu Hao, I suggest you take a good look at the nature of these two anis. If you really can’t see it clearly, then don’t try to be a Yu Hao hero. You really don’t deserve it."
"Exactly, clearly Xiao Group’s ani is better and super exciting. I’ve been following it for a long ti, yet here you are spewing nonsense online. This is obviously a set-up by the Yu Group! Are they using such entertainnt industry tactics against a rival company? And the fact is, the rival company is clearly better than Yu Group."
"If you hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have considered watching this ani. But now that you’ve raised this, if you want a face-slap, fine, I’ll go find similarities between the two anis and serve you a slap. After getting slapped, don’t yell you’ve made a mistake. We won’t accept such an error."
"Yes, since you’re saying this, let’s watch the ani and continue the debate. For evidence, why not put together a color chart to make these Xiao Group defenders see clearly what’s going on?"
"Why should I watch the ani? Ranting is enough. If you want to watch, go ahead."
Soon, the Xiao Group’s Weibo attracted two opposing voices. So netizens, spurred by the earlier comnts, actually sought evidence. But upon viewing both anis, they were dumbfounded.
It was as if they had witnessed sothing bizarre. These two anis had distinctly different styles; where was the notion of plagiarism coming from?
Curiosity gripped the netizens; they scrutinized the dialogues, even the producers, yet couldn’t pinpoint any such plagiarism.
Gradually, alternative views began to erge on Weibo.
"I just compared them, and there really are no similarities between the two anis. I couldn’t find any; could you?"
With earlier comnts setting the tone, others chid in. They felt inexplicably uneasy. Was it possible they were missing the plagiarism? Yet as ani lovers, who’d followed it for years, they shouldn’t have missed this.
"I didn’t find anything either. Where specifically is the plagiarism? I couldn’t see any, as even the thes differ. Who claid plagiarism?"
"It seems like we were manipulated as fools. These two anis, I can’t find any dissimilarity. Did Yu Group deliberately target Xiao Group to hype their own ani? Now it all makes sense to —it’s shockingly scheming of Yu Group, using Xiao Group’s sar to boost their sales."
"Alright, now I get it. This was all orchestrated by Yu Group’s trolls. They even involved regular folks like us. I realized Xiao Group’s ani is actually amazing, it’s love!"
Suddenly, most netizens who had seen it returned to comnt under the Weibo post, and the hired trolls found themselves overwheld. What on earth happened? Usually, they were paid to comnt, but why was there such strong backlash from the regular people now?
Even the trolls themselves panicked; what don’t they know happened?
As a result, the trolls started investigating the cause, and once they did, they couldn’t stop.
All at once, remarks underneath the Xiao Group were overtaken by praise for CCTV Group’s ani. Even the headquarters staff were puzzled. What had happened? Just monts ago, it was full of negative comnts accusing Xiao Group of plagiarism, but now suddenly it was all positive.
Could it be the company’s chairman stepped in? If so, the chairman was being a bit unfair.
Initially, it was their company doing the plagiarism, yet they reversed the situation and filled it with positive feedback. Did the chairman honestly favor Xu Ke, this sudden entrant into Xiao Group?
