Chapter 22

In the meeting room of Starlight Show Company, a heavy silence hung in the air.

"Very well, I've only been away for a few days, and our company has become so popular. You all are really something!" A middle-aged man coldly scanned the attendees.

"Bang! Yan Jianghua! Great Manager Yan! You are the manager of the artist department, yet you are meddling in the operations department. Do you want me to hand over the position of general manager to you as well?" The middle-aged man glared at Yan Jianghua with uncontrollable anger.

Yan Jianghua's face turned extremely ugly. Starlight Show is a subsidiary of Starlight Group, and the founder of Starlight Group is his cousin. Everyone in Starlight Show knows this, otherwise, Yan Jianghua wouldn't dare to act so recklessly.

Usually, Yan Jianghua didn't even take Li Zong, the general manager, seriously. In his view, Li Changlin was just working for his cousin. Li Changlin, due to Yan Jianghua's status, usually turned a blind eye to his actions as long as they didn't cause major trouble. However, this time was different. What Yan Jianghua did made Starlight Show a laughingstock in the industry.

"And Cao Zimo, as the manager of the operations department, you actually believed others and did such a thing. I don't think you should be the manager of the operations department anymore!" Li Changlin's gaze turned to Cao Zimo, the manager of the operations department.

At this moment, Cao Zimo was filled with regret. He knew about the closure of Tang Feng's chat room and the freezing of his account, but he ignored it to curry favor with Yan Jianghua. He originally thought that Tang Feng was just a small-time streamer, and even if he had some popularity, how could he compare to Yan Jianghua, the cousin of the chairman of Starlight Group?

"General Manager Li, please calm down! The most pressing issue now is how to handle the current crisis! As for the matter of accountability, it can wait." A vice president said, he was close to retirement and had gradually handed over his power, so he didn't want to offend anyone.

"The current crisis? Everyone knows that YouDou is behind this, but the facts of the hype are now all pointing to us, Starlight Show. How do we resolve this? Ouyang Qing, does your public relations department have a proposal?" Li Changlin knew that the most important thing now was to handle this crisis, otherwise, he might not be the general manager for long.

"General Manager Li, I believe this matter needs to be resolved quickly, we can't let it drag on indefinitely, as it would be extremely detrimental to our company's image," said Ouyang Qing, the head of the public relations department.

"Oh? Resolve it quickly? How exactly?" Li Changlin asked.

"Untie the bell that was tied. On one hand, we must quickly resolve the court summons. Since it is a civil lawsuit, it won't be immediately filed but will go through pre-trial mediation. We must resolve this matter during the pre-trial mediation and prevent it from entering formal litigation, as it would be a huge blow to our company's image," Ouyang Qing said.

"Continue!" Li Changlin nodded.

"So, our top priority is to gain Tang Feng's understanding and try to meet his demands. I hope that Manager Yan can make a public apology, and then provide compensation. We need to make it clear to the public that this was the result of an individual's misconduct, not the company's intention, so that this matter can be gradually downplayed." Ouyang Qing's words were still somewhat tactful, but in simpler terms, it meant that whoever made the mess should clean it up!

Yan Jianghua stared at Ouyang Qing with a look of intense resentment. How could he possibly go and apologize to Tang Feng? He was just a small-time streamer, and if he, a department manager, went to apologize, where would he stand in the company afterward?

"I think what Director Ouyang said makes sense. Manager Yan, since this matter started because of you, I believe you know what to do for the company's benefit, right?" Li Changlin said calmly.

"Want me to publicly apologize to that small-time streamer? Li Changlin, don't even think about it. I did it for the company's benefit, and I don't think I was wrong! I refuse to apologize!" Yan Jianghua said with a sense of impunity.

"Bang!" At this moment, the meeting room door was pushed open.

"Chairman Yan!"

"Chairman Yan!"

A man in a suit walked in, and everyone in the room called out.

This man was the founder of the entire Starlight Group, Yan Feng, who is also Yan Jianghua's cousin. Although he was not old, he carried the air of a leader.

"I heard everything you just said. Yan Jianghua, this matter will be handled as General Manager Li suggested. I have already sent people to notify the media. After the meeting, Starlight Show will hold a press conference. I believe you know what to do. Also, Cao Zimo from the operations department, after the meeting, go to the finance department to collect three months' salary. The new operations department manager will be chosen by General Manager Li. Yan Jianghua's position as the manager of the artist department will be terminated after the press conference, and the new manager will be appointed by headquarters. Any questions?" Yan Feng said decisively.

"I..." Yan Jianghua was about to speak, but Yan Feng's sharp gaze silenced him, and he couldn't say another word.

"Since there are no questions, the meeting is adjourned!" Yan Feng said coldly.

...

When Tang Feng opened his computer early in the morning, he knew about the video's popularity and the explosive sales of the two songs.

As of 9:00 AM on the 8th, Tang Feng's video had received over five million views, far exceeding his expectations. In fact, as the internet had suggested, Tang Feng's talk show format was a first in this world. In China, where variety shows were still at the level of programs like "Zheng Da Variety," Tang Feng's talk show opened the eyes of many TV program producers.

The popularity of Tang Feng's video also made many show streamers envious, and they began to watch his videos. After all, achieving this level in the live streaming industry was unprecedented.

Tang Feng's decision to upload his live stream video also inspired many popular streamers to edit and upload their own videos to video websites. Some even achieved success in the video field, but that's a story for another time.

Many netizens who watched Tang Feng's video left comments saying they would definitely watch his next live stream.

In terms of music, when Tang Feng opened HotCool and saw that his two songs had taken the top two spots on the new song chart, he couldn't believe his eyes.
