Starting from a Fake University-Chapter 1578 - 833: The Backstab from Justice!

Ding Yue chatted with Zhang Wu for almost an hour.

From Zhang Wu’s remarks, it was clear that he was indeed a rare talent. His strategic vision and insights were far superior to Q Entertainment Media’s Mr. Chen Xueming. Fundamentally, his development philosophy aligned perfectly with Feiyue Media’s trajectory.

Such a talent staying at Q Entertainment Media’s Penguin Video seemed to be a waste of his abilities.

Since Zhang Wu was intent on joining Feiyue Media, how could Ding Yue turn him away? Thus, Ding Yue left an "open door" for Zhang Wu, assuring him that if he ever decided to leave Penguin Video, Feiyue Media would readily welcome him.

Moreover, Zhang Wu, in gratitude for Principal Ding’s acceptance, revealed to him that the recent malicious low scores aimed at Feiyue Media’s "The Legend of Fairy Sword" on Douban were, in fact, orchestrated by Q Entertainment Media’s Mr. Chen.

Although Zhang Wu didn’t explicitly state it, Ding Yue clearly understood the implication.

"Alright then, Mr. Zhang, if fate allows us a chance in the future, we’ll be family," Ding Yue said.

After wrapping up his conversation with Zhang Wu, Ding Yue ended the video call.

"Principal Ding, do you think Zhang Wu genuinely wants to develop his career at Feiyue Media?"

An Yujia stepped forward with a look of doubt and asked.

After all, Zhang Wu was one of the senior executives at Q Entertainment Media. Joining Feiyue Media felt a little unusual and strange. There was even a possibility he might be coming as an undercover agent, given that Penguin Video and Feiyue Media’s Feiyue Home streaming media platform were fierce competitors.

"There’s no need to doubt this."

Ding Yue smiled, shook his head, and replied, "From my conversation with Zhang Wu, it’s clear that Mr. Zhang’s talents are underappreciated at Penguin Video. His ideas align closely with Feiyue Group’s approach to cultural entertainment. Moreover, Zhang Wu is a seasoned elite with years of experience in the industry—he’s definitely worth bringing onboard. What do you think, Miss An?"

"Hmm, if we can confirm that Mr. Zhang doesn’t have any issues, he absolutely would be a good addition. Feiyue Media needs elites like him," An Yujia nodded firmly.

There was no reason to question Zhang Wu’s abilities, given his long tenure as General Manager of Penguin Video. Furthermore, Principal Ding had mentioned that his vision for entertainment development perfectly coincided with Feiyue Media’s. In that case, there was no need to hesitate.

"With Zhang Wu onboard, Feiyue Media’s operational development should become much smoother, wouldn’t it?"

Ding Yue shrugged casually and said matter-of-factly.

"Indeed. By the way, Principal Ding, could what Zhang Wu mentioned earlier really mean that Q Entertainment Media’s Chen Xueming is behind those despicable antics of giving maliciously low ratings to our ’The Legend of Fairy Sword’?"

An Yujia asked suddenly.

"Who else could it be? Only a select few people are capable of resorting to such disgraceful tactics," Ding Yue responded with a cold laugh. "I’ve suspected this before. Now, hearing it from Zhang Wu essentially confirms it—it’s that Chen Xueming fellow. Instead of focusing on running Q Entertainment Media properly, he keeps using these lowly tricks. No wonder his future looks bleak and his business is going nowhere."

"So, Principal Ding... how should we prepare to deal with this?"

An Yujia pondered for a moment. While they already knew the malicious low scores on Douban were a dirty trick by Q Entertainment Media, how should they respond? They couldn’t just idly watch as their opponent kept mobilizing hired trolls to continuously give low ratings.

"Let’s observe. From what I see, there appears to be a growing wave of resistance among netizens against these malicious low ratings, isn’t there?"

Ding Yue admitted he couldn’t think of a better solution.

It all depended on whether the netizens would rally and upvote legitimate scores to counteract the malicious ones.

"Currently, the rating stands at 8.8, with nearly 300,000 ratings already in."

An Yujia frowned and said, "Once the base number becomes this large, trying to raise the score further won’t be easy at all."

"Exactly," Ding Yue muttered while stroking his chin. "It seems like we’ll need to ignite a wave of public attention. We have to let the netizens see the ugly reality of Q Entertainment Media."

"Principal Ding’s absolutely right."

An Yujia wholeheartedly agreed. Since Q Entertainment Media had stooped so low, Feiyue Media couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Actually, the best thing would be for Zhang Wu to step forward and expose the ugly tactics of Q Entertainment Media," Ding Yue mused after reflecting for a moment. That would be the ideal approach.

If Zhang Wu was willing to step forward and reveal the malicious manipulation by Q Entertainment Media, it would surely throw the company into a major crisis. In doing so, "The Legend of Fairy Sword" could garner solid public support from a broad base of netizens.

"Then... Principal Ding, should I get in touch with Mr. Zhang as soon as possible and offer him a high salary? If Mr. Zhang decides to leave Penguin Video, he might be willing to expose Q Entertainment Media’s dirty tactics," An Yujia suggested.

"Yes, absolutely," Ding Yue nodded and endorsed An Yujia’s suggestion directly.

If they wanted Zhang Wu to expose the malicious scoring manipulations by Q Entertainment Media, they needed to provide him with a solid fallback plan. Otherwise, Zhang Wu surely wouldn’t agree to such a risky move.

And the best fallback plan for Zhang Wu would be for Feiyue Media to take him in while offering him a salary no worse than what he was earning at Penguin Group.
