Chapter 2814: Chapter 1747: Coming to This World (First Update)

Kyoto.

Third Ring.

Planet Rhythm Headquarters.

That’s right.

The parent company of Star Sky.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

The door of the office of the founder and CEO was knocked.

Liu Yiming, who once topped the nation’s richest list and was selected on the honor list of the 50 most influential business leaders nationwide, adjusted his glasses.

"Come in."

Like Bian Zaide, he also looked quite ordinary, with a slim build, and aside from his status, he was no different from the traditional image of an honest and shy tech guy.

Of course.

He is much younger than Bian Zaide, the youngest wealthiest person in Shen Zhou’s history.

Yes.

Those who don’t participate in the selections don’t count.

Not everyone likes to be a public figure.

From these two wealthy individuals, one can conclude that for men, appearance really doesn’t matter.

I’ve digressed, pulling the topic back.

Entering the room was a vice president from the bottom tier, whose facial expression and walking pace allowed Liu Yiming to judge that it wasn’t good news.

Indeed.

"Mr. Liu, here’s a post Pei Yunxi just made on Star Sky."

An established company values efficiency.

The vice president got straight to the point, placing the notebook he carried on the boss’s desk and pulling up Pei Yunxi’s recent post on Star Sky.

Star Sky’s users number in the hundreds of millions, with posts flooding like grains of sand every moment, as a top leader, it’s impossible to monitor every single one, but this simple post, containing only a baby photo, bypassed Star Sky’s review department, reported upward layer by layer, "reaching the highest ears."

"Is this a photo of Pei Yunxi as a baby?"

Liu Yiming looked at the computer screen and asked.

"It should be."

"This kind of photo must be released to the public for the first time, right?"

"That’s correct. It’s exclusive."

The vice president wasn’t happy but faintly smiled, "Mr. Liu, Pei Yunxi posted this to support the parents in Licheng who lost their baby due to a medical accident. She’s from Hui City, and Licheng is right next to Hui City."

Actually, no explanation was needed.

The IP address from which the post was made could confirm it was the same province as the recent highly discussed infant case.

Liu Yiming wasn’t a top business leader from the start, having worked at the grassroots level. As a media person, he undoubtedly had a keen sense for such matters.

"Mr. Liu, what should we do?"

The vice president inquired.

As a social platform, it should pursue truthfulness but also must avoid inciting conflict; the scale of which is quite delicate.

Pei Yunxi is a top-tier artist, boasting over eighty million followers on a single platform like Star Sky, posting again after two years, with her first-ever baby photo exposure certainly triggering a sensation.

So the problem arises.

Pei Yunxi dared to post, do they as platform managers dare to stir the waves?

"How is it being handled currently?"

"For now, the post has been hidden, but she herself does not know."

Hiding, like banning or limiting flow, is a method used by Star Sky to control user-posted content.

Simply put, the post appears to have been sent out, but in reality, others cannot see it, similar to being visible only to oneself.

This consideration is based on the uniqueness of Pei Yunxi’s status.

Actually, countless similar support posts have emerged recently, with some chosen by the review department, directly deemed non-compliant and blocked.

"How long since she posted this?" Liu Yiming asked.

"Five minutes."

What’s efficiency?

From the vice president’s office to Liu Yiming’s office probably takes three minutes.

Hiding is certainly gentler than directly denying, belonging to not telling users their post is non-compliant, though it’s not a long-term strategy, the post lacking flow, likes, or comments, eventually alerts the user, especially Pei Yunxi, who has over eighty million fans.

That’s the problem.

Temporarily "freezing" the post is possible, but offending Pei Yunxi, versus participating in promoting and expanding public opinion, requires making a choice.

If it were another artist, the answer would definitely be the former.

Celebrity, regardless of fan count, for the platform, is just a user with a special status, nothing more; when it’s time to silence them, there will be no hesitation.

Do not truly believe that a so-called celebrity equates to the worth of the richest?

But just yesterday.

They helped to zealously suppress her tabloid news.

That’s why the vice president rushed to report so promptly.

He had never personally seen Pei Yunxi, nor knew her private life, but sitting in this position, he didn’t lack the necessary brains and sense.

"I understand, you should focus on your tasks; I’ll handle this matter."

Liu Yiming stated, his eyes calm and peaceful beyond his glasses, revealing no clues.

"Okay."

The vice president took the computer and resolutely left.

Once the 200-square-meter office resumed silence, Liu Yiming picked up his personal phone and soon dialed a number.

"Mr. Jiang."

What’s going on?

Star Sky is merely a subsidiary of Planet Rhythm, and he is the helm of Planet Rhythm.

And the one opposite?

Just an ordinary user of Star Sky.

Such a disparity in status.

Why so respectful?

Could it be "Emperor’s" hidden perks?

"Mr. Liu."

A bright laughter came through the phone, completely unaffected by yesterday’s scandals and being beaten.

"Mr. Jiang, I have something that needs your discussion."

Seated at the Kyoto Headquarters, Liu Yiming also chuckled.

Compared to Bian Zaide, who created an era, he was younger, yet the one on the other end of the call, was even younger.

Indeed, the world’s heroes are like fish crossing the river.

"Yes, Mr. Liu, go ahead."

"Miss Pei made a post on Star Sky a few minutes ago, I’ll send it to Mr. Jiang; Mr. Jiang can view it now on the phone."

Liu Yiming held the phone in one hand while operating the computer with the other, issuing commands.

No response came from there, presumably browsing Star Sky, about half a minute later, breathing resumed on the phone.

Liu Yiming patiently continued, "The medical accident that occurred in Licheng, I wonder if Mr. Jiang has heard about it; it had extremely negative effects. If publicity were to expand, it could cause collective trauma, societal mistrust; hence Star Sky has handled it cautiously."

"Understood."

"Therefore, I wonder what Mr. Jiang believes is the proper way to handle it."

The glasses reflected the glow from the computer screen as Liu Yiming waited for the other’s decision.

Star Sky’s review department needs someone above to make decisions, the vice president needed him to decide, and he too needed someone above.

Whether being an employee, or running a company, essentially it’s quite similar.

Or fundamentally, it’s a survival philosophy.

——Responsibility, try not to fall on oneself.

"If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Liu has one son and one daughter, right."

The other abruptly changed the topic.

Hearing this, Liu Yiming’s gaze unconsciously shifted from the computer screen to a group photo placed on the desk, showing four people, two adults, two children, male and female, harmonious and blissful.

Liu Yiming unconsciously cracked a benevolent smile; the ordinary appearance seemed to gain an invisible filter, radiating kindness and warmth; these qualities are inherent in the role of "father":

"Yes, indeed."

Far younger and yet to be a father, Boss Jiang’s voice was mild and decisive:

"Then Mr. Liu is very fortunate. It’s often said children are like stars in the sky, before rebirth, they sneak peeks from above, if they saw events happening below, would they still dare to descend to this world?"

Liu Yiming was silent, after a moment, he spoke.

"I’ll not trouble Mr. Jiang anymore."
