Chapter 1536: Chapter 1536: Luohua’s People
Lin Heihu thought for a moment and asked softly, “Are you sure this matter can just go to the boss?”
He also felt that looking for Feng Jun would probably solve the problem, but… always seeking him out felt rather embarrassing.
With Gao Qiang’s suggestion, he wanted to confirm it.
Gao Qiang had already thoroughly analyzed the causality and replied solemnly, “This matter can only go to the boss, going to anyone else is useless.”
He knew very well that, strictly speaking, looking for Feng Jun was also useless, but the resources the boss could call upon were much broader.
During the lunch break, the two hurried to find Feng Jun.
Feng Jun was in a relatively relaxed state, watching the Earth Vein gradually take shape while flipping through the compendium on his mobile phone realm.
After listening to Lin Heihu’s recounting, he asked two more questions, then nodded, “I understand. You can rest assured about streaming this afternoon, and if anyone wants you to sign a contract, just stall them… the handling might need a process, but it won’t be long.”
Once the two had left, he pulled out the walkie-talkie and called out, “Director Yang, calling Director Yang. There’s a social matter I’d like to ask you to help with.”
Yang Yuxin’s voice quickly came through the walkie-talkie, “Oh, I’m out with two partners for a meal, they’ve invited me many times… I’ll be over within half an hour, okay?”
She basically didn’t need to heed others, but the projects these two partners were responsible for covered Luohua’s peripherals and the transformation of the Chaoyang Mountain Region. They had always done a good job and invited her to meals multiple times, so she graciously gave them face.
Anyway, a meal is just a meal, there won’t be anything more; after eating with me, you can go out and brag, but if you want me to handle other matters, don’t count on it.
In short, she wouldn’t be blindly arrogant—families with real heritage pay close attention to discretion.
So she could guarantee that she’d be back in half an hour—after all, the walkie-talkie had signal, so it wasn’t far.
“There’s no rush,” Feng Jun replied with a smile, as he wasn’t one to spoil the fun, “Eating is the most important thing.”
Beauty Lin, who was eating a boxed meal in the car, swallowed her food hard upon hearing this, “This guy, doesn’t he know there’s someone at the door who can handle all sorts of social affairs?”
Generally speaking, people of their status were unwilling to engage with social affairs, but if Feng Jun opened his mouth, they would absolutely execute it with finesse—the problem was, the guy just wouldn’t speak up!
They wanted to help but couldn’t, yet immediately, a sweet female voice came through the walkie-talkie, “Boss, should I come find you?”
Yu Qingzhu… Feng Jun hesitated for a moment and asked, “Are you… convenient?”
“Convenient,” a clang came through the walkie-talkie, as if Yu Qingzhu had knocked something over, “I’ll be right there.”
Yang Yuxin had just sipped some juice, hearing this, her expression changed, and she helplessly pursed her lips in the end—forget it, it’s unavoidable.
She glanced at the several people sitting with her, shook her head with a wry smile, “Oh, having a meal with you costs me dearly.”
The two partners exchanged a look, thinking, well, we messed up.
Since Director Yang was wearing headphones, they didn’t know whose message she had received, but for Director Yang to rush over in half an hour, it absolutely wasn’t a trivial matter.
They originally planned to invite Director Yang for tea to genuinely get closer after the meal, but now they could only give up…
Yu Qingzhu quickly arrived at Feng Jun’s retreat, “Boss, what’s the matter?”
Feng Jun explained Lin Heihu’s situation again, but Yu Qingzhu, being young, didn’t quite understand the intricacies inside, although she was quite clear about the two live-streaming platforms.
She frowned and said, “Bullfight is a relatively old platform, larger in scale, while White Whale is a recent rise with strong momentum… they even wanted me to invest at first, but I didn’t want to get involved. How should we handle these two platforms, together?”
Feng Jun shook his head with a smile, “Or I could ask Director Yang, if I tell her so much, she’d have a plan.”
Yu Qingzhu felt a bit unfair suddenly, “I’m not very clear on how to hold this degree, it’s a learning process… should we make them all afraid of us?”
Indeed, Feng Jun knew that it was something he overlooked—the young girl was used to smooth sailing, having no concept of “enduring hardships.”
So he explained further, “Keep a low profile mainly, you’re aware of Luohua’s situation, high-profile isn’t quite suitable, but we must let others know we’re not easily provoked… and the live-streaming industry is somewhat chaotic, cleaning it up a bit is a manifestation of social responsibility.”
Yu Qingzhu pondered for a moment before asking again, “Lin Heihu, what kind of person is he with Luohua… a partner?”
Feng Jun laughed, “He really wants to become one of Luohua’s people, but he’s so sinister, I bet you don’t quite fancy him.”
He was absolutely certain that recruiting Lin Heihu was just a matter of one word; if he wanted, taking Fanghu’s Daoist tradition wouldn’t be a big issue, Chen Shengwang would definitely accept his resources and sponsorship. But the bad guys’ tradition… why bother?
He already had quite a few disciples to support, both in the Earth Realm and the mobile phone realm, truly having no interest in adding to his burdens.
Yu Qingzhu blinked earnestly and nodded, “Then I know how to handle it.”
At this moment, a graceful figure walked over. It was Yang Yuxin who had returned. “What’s going on?”
Feng Jun had to respond, but he didn’t want to dampen Yu Qingzhu’s enthusiasm—having someone willing to share responsibilities is a good thing, so he smiled and replied, “Discuss it with Little Yu… She’s still young, Director Yang, you should teach her more.”
Yang Yuxin couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy, so she rolled her eyes at him and said earnestly, “Are you saying I’m old?”
It seemed like a mock-serious joke, but women… can skip meals but not get jealous.
“No way,” Feng Jun smiled slightly, “Director Yang, you’re in your prime, the best age of your life.”
Yang Yuxin chuckled with a laugh she couldn’t hold back, “You make it sound like I’m about to pass my expiration date!”
Yu Qingzhu secretly gritted her teeth, a pair of… scoundrels!
After Lin Heihu complained, he still went to stream in the afternoon, and the White Whale didn’t rush him either.
By the next morning, a message came from the White Whale again, “Can we sign a long-term contract? Give us an answer, if not, we won’t back you up anymore.”
Lin Heihu was busy streaming and didn’t notice until noon, then he asked, “What do you mean by not backing me up? Is someone targeting me?”
The response came quickly, almost as if using voice input, “We’re rectifying industry chaos. Yesterday evening, Dou Niu Live was shut down, and the legal representative was taken away for questioning. Didn’t you know?”
Dou Niu Live was the leader in the streaming industry. Although the White Whale had risen rapidly, it was still a bit less influential.
Lin Heihu wanted to type, but Gao Qiang snatched his tablet and typed a line.
“I truly didn’t know about this. How many days will Dou Niu be down? How will they handle the legal representative?”
The response was just as quick, “We don’t know either, seems to have annoyed someone. If you don’t sign, we may have to shut down your channel for protection… not targeting you, just protective shutdown. Your content might be seriously inaccurate, putting us at a disadvantage, not good for you either. Hope you understand, we’re doing this for your own good.”
“For your own good?” Gao Qiang glanced at Lin Heihu with a smirk, “I really hate that phrase… Do you believe it?”
“I don’t believe it either,” Lin Heihu replied solemnly, “It’s actually for their own good… This trick’s been played for over three thousand years.”
“That’s good,” Gao Qiang pushed the tablet back, “Then you refuse them.”
“You do it,” Lin Heihu pushed the tablet back again, “I’m not familiar with this routine.”
“No way, it’s your own business, you’re not from Luohua Manor,” Gao Qiang shook his head, “I’m helping you so you don’t suffer… affecting Luohua’s reputation.”
“I’m not from Luohua?” Lin Heihu looked shocked, “Who told you that?”
Gao Qiang blinked, “Aren’t you involved with Ma Sanniang?”
Ma Sanniang is an Artifact Spirit in the Initial Transformation stage, and saying this in the mobile domain is definitely disrespectful to superiors, but since Luohua reigns supreme on Earth, even if Ma Sanniang found out, she wouldn’t bother him.
“At most, it’s just a Daoist companion, alright?” The Earth Deity shamelessly stated, “My heart is with Luohua, and I’ve offered treasures to the boss. How can you say I’m not one of Luohua’s people? Just because you have a physical body, you’re going to bully me without restraint?”
“Then tell the boss,” Gao Qiang took the tablet again and typed a line.
“I don’t need you to do it for me, come on, if you got the guts, try not doing it for me.”
This time, the response was much slower, taking a long time before a line appeared, “What do you mean by that?”
Gao Qiang’s answer was swift, “No meaning, if your legal rep doesn’t want to go for tea, just hold on!”
Then the response got even slower, about a minute later, a line appeared, presumably picturing their shock.
“Did Dou Niu’s legal representative… irritate you?”
Lin Heihu glanced at Gao Qiang and quietly suggested, “Should we radio the boss and ask?”
“No need to ask,” Gao Qiang replied coldly, “Even if the boss didn’t act on these borderline tricks… if he wanted, the result would be the same!”
“Got it,” Lin Heihu grabbed the tablet and started typing quickly.
“Whether they provoked me, you know in your heart. Ask for the specific situation… I want the afternoon homepage banner recommendation.”
Exploiting authority as a protective banner is something he’s quite familiar with; back when he was an Earth Deity, he’d dare to pull out the Heavenly Court as support, a routine operation—no exaggeration, there really was an organization involved back then.
There was a long silence from White Whale’s side, likely scared.
