Chapter 413: Questioning

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The comments online were all over the place. When the current CEO of Huang Tu, Bai Kai, saw these comments online, his first reaction was lingering fear, followed by anger.

After Bai Kai asked his assistant to leave, he picked up his phone and called Ding Wen, the station director of Apple TV.

Before the other party could speak, Bai Kai opened his mouth and questioned, “Station Director Ding! What do you mean by this? Are you deliberately going against our Huang Tu?!”

When Ding Wen heard Bai Kai’s question, there was no panic in his voice.

He calmly played dumb and asked, “CEO Bai, what do you mean by that? Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?”

Hearing this, Bai Kai sneered. “Station Director Ding, you said that Meeting Love Around the Corner would occupy the prime slot during winter break and Peony Fall would be removed. What do you mean by this now? Are you toying with our Huang Tu?!”

“CEO Bai, didn’t I do as you said? Didn’t I let Meeting Love Around the Corner occupy the prime slot during winter break and remove Peony Fall? Didn’t 1 do as you instructed?” Ding Wen said innocently.

When Bai Kai heard Ding Wen’s words, he was instantly so angry that he did not know what to say.

He did not expect Ding Wen to be so thick-skinned! He was really shameless to the point of being invincible! He had really underestimated Ding Wen!

Seeing that Bai Kai was silent, Ding Wen did not care and continued to ramble.

“CEO Bai, you can’t cause trouble for our television station just because the viewership ratings of Meeting Love Around the Corner are not good. Besides, our television station has to earn money. We can’t completely ignore the comments of netizens online.”

“If there are conflicts, I have to prioritize the interests of the television station. Otherwise, my position as the station director will be difficult. I believe CEO Bai understands these difficulties, right?”

The more Bai Kai listened, the angrier he became. He was furious at Ding Wen’s shamelessness.

However, they really could not do anything to Ding Wen.

When Huang Tu signed the contract with Apple TV, it only stipulated the broadcast date and time of the two dramas including Meeting Love Around the Corner. It was impossible to make any stipulations for other television dramas.

It was already wrong to have Peony Fall change schedule back then. In addition, they had only signed a verbal agreement back then and had not signed a written agreement.

Now that they were suffering in silence, even if Huang Tu did not want to swallow this loss, they could only endure it.

Could it be that they had to publicize that Huang Tu had originally planned to suppress Star Brilliance and Peony Fall, but Station Director Ding of Apple TV went back on his word?

It was good to know these unspoken rules in private. When they were brought out in the open, it would be another matter.

However, Bai Kai could not just let it off like that.

“Good! Good! I’ve underestimated Station Director Ding! I hope Station Director Ding won’t ask a favor from Huang Tu in the future! Just wait and see!”

After Bai Kai finished speaking, he hung up without waiting for Ding Wen’s reaction.

Ding Wen put down his phone and glanced at the phone that had already been hung up. He directly put the phone aside and did not care about Bai Kai’s last threat.

As a provincial-level satellite channel, they were not afraid of such a small matter.

Although they did not want to go against Huang Tu, they could not just watch Apple TV’s reputation plummet and still suffer losses, right?

If Huang Tu’s Meeting Love Around the Corner was indeed good and could make Apple TV earn money, he might not agree to Gu Xiao’s suggestion.

Even before Meeting Love Around the Corner was broadcasted, he was still hesitating.

However, after seeing the unsightly viewership ratings, he could only agree to Gu Xiao’s suggestion.

After all… compared to reputation and benefits, Huang Tu’s two dramas were really not worth mentioning. He still understood what choice he should make.

Thoughts flew through Ding Wen’s mind, but his expression remained unchanged.

He glanced at Fan Yuan, who had been waiting at the side with his head lowered. “Peony Fall will be played at ten o’clock on schedule.”

Hearing this, Fan Yuan replied, “Yes.” He turned around and planned to pass on Ding Wen’s words.

Just as he was about to leave Ding Wen’s office, Ding Wen’s voice came from behind him. “In the future, pay more attention to the CEO Gu of Star Brilliance..”
