"Ou Minghan, what do you want to say?" Gu Sheng's expression grew even uglier.
"Gu Sheng, since you also love Ya Ya, you should stand in her position and think more for her. Now the Cen family dotes on her, even entrusting her with the responsibility of developing the Cen family's business in China.
But now Ye Zhi has fallen out with the Cen family, and she personally said she would use all means to make the Cen family go bankrupt! If Cen Ya is forced by Ye Zhi to be unable to establish herself in China, have you not considered how Ya Ya will conduct herself within the Cen family?!"
"Minghan..." Cen Ya looked at Ou Minghan with emotion.
Gu Sheng was stunned. He subconsciously said, "President Ye is not that kind of person..."
Cen Ya immediately looked at him with disappointment. "Ye Zhi said this to me in person on the day I returned to China! Gu Sheng, do you think I would lie?"
Gu Sheng was a little lost. He believed that Cen Ya wouldn't lie about such things.
Ou Minghan pretended to advise from the side, "Ya Ya, it's not Gu Sheng's fault. You also know that Ye Zhi is very cunning and is best at winning people over. Gu Sheng has interacted with her, so it's inevitable that he'd be confused by her and fail to see her true colors."
"You're right, she is that kind of person!" Cen Ya said with certainty, then looked at Gu Sheng expectantly. "Gu Sheng, if you truly care about me and want to help me, you should help Minghan build the company, surpass Taoxun, and allow the Cen family to establish a foothold in China!"
"Am I helping you or Ou Minghan with this?" Gu Sheng asked sarcastically.
Ou Minghan looked heartbroken. "Gu Sheng, I know I've made many mistakes in the past, but I chose to make money for Ya Ya to compensate her. If I truly had other motives, I could have asked Ya Ya to transfer all her shares to me. Do you think Ya Ya would refuse? I can go this far for Ya Ya, can't you sacrifice for her?"
Gu Sheng was speechless, but he felt something was off about these words.
"You should save these words to convince the Cen family! I have no interest in your affairs!" Gu Sheng snorted and turned to leave.
"Gu Sheng..." Cen Ya looked at his retreating back with a complicated expression.
Ou Minghan felt a sense of triumph. His biggest worry had always been that Gu Sheng, as Cen Xiucheng's informant, would privately report what was happening in China to Cen Xiucheng.
Fortunately, he knew Gu Sheng's weakness too well. Gu Sheng's departure was clear, but it also meant that while Gu Sheng wouldn't directly side with him, he wouldn't inform Cen Xiucheng either.
However, he still needed to strengthen the effect to ensure Gu Sheng remained neutral.
"Ya Ya, if you have time, you should still go see Gu Sheng and talk to him more." Ou Minghan said.
"Ah?" Cen Ya looked displeased. "You want me to go talk to another man?"
Ou Minghan held her shoulders, looking pained. "Ya Ya, I love you so much that I become crazily jealous when I see you with other men! However, you grew up with him and have so many years of shared history. I know you care about him a lot and don't want to lose this friendship. I don't want you to suffer because of me, so I'd rather suffer alone in silence!"
"Minghan..." Cen Ya was deeply moved.
After sending Cen Ya away, Ou Minghan immediately instructed the legal department to issue lawyer's letters and hired online trolls, pushing the matter to the trending searches on major websites.
#Fei Long Live Broadcast Sues Game Streamer and Demands Exorbitant Compensation# This matter quickly climbed to the top of the trending searches. Shi Fan personally came to Ye Zhi's office to explain the detailed situation to her.
Ye Zhi was dumbfounded after hearing everything.
What was Ou Minghan doing?
She knew Fei Long Live Broadcast acted as an agent for "Star Conquer," and she understood that after the variety show was suspended, Ou Minghan's focus would inevitably shift to gaming. However, she never expected Ou Minghan to leverage his copyright of "Star Conquer" and prepare to sue streamers on T Live Broadcast who had streamed the game, demanding high compensation ranging from one million to five million!
At this stage, streamers were not particularly lucrative. Some top game streamers even moonlighted selling meat floss biscuits while streaming. One to five million was an amount most streamers couldn't afford.
"...What is Ou Minghan thinking?" Ye Zhi asked, confused. "He wouldn't be trying to generate revenue this way, would he?"
Shi Fan analyzed, "I heard Assistant Feng analyze that Ou Minghan is likely trying to 'shake the mountain to scare the snake,' aiming to force those streamers not to stream 'Star Conquer' on the T Live Broadcast platform. Then, streamers of this game would lead other game streamers to leave as well, using this method to attack T Live Broadcast."
Ye Zhi: "...Then he's truly an oddball."
Shi Fan heartily agreed. "Although quite a few streamers stream 'Star Conquer' on our platform, our platform recently hosted a live broadcast competition requiring participants to stream games from Taoxun Game Platform. So, even if they all stop streaming 'Star Conquer,' it won't have a significant impact on our platform."
"This lawyer's letter of theirs actually has quite an impact on Fei Long Live Broadcast..." Ye Zhi chuckled.
"President Ye, all the streamers Fei Long Live Broadcast is suing this time are from T Live Broadcast. This is a deliberate targeting of Taoxun. I suggest we launch retaliatory measures!" Shi Fan handed over a document, saying gravely, "I've investigated. This is Fei Long Live Broadcast's current daily active user data.
Among them, game-related streams account for a considerable portion, and nearly half of the game streams are from our Taoxun Game Platform! As long as we use the same method to force streamers not to stream Taoxun platform games on Fei Long Live Broadcast, we can inflict heavy damage on Fei Long Live Broadcast!"
"You're still too young and impetuous..." Ye Zhi glanced at the document and said with a laugh, "If Feng Jie were here, he wouldn't make such an immature suggestion."
"Ah?" Shi Fan seemed at a loss.
Ye Zhi put down the document. "Your investigation is good, but you've misunderstood a few points. Firstly, Fei Long Live Broadcast relies on borderline content; game streaming isn't their main pillar. Your method can indeed hurt Fei Long Live Broadcast, but it's not fatal."
Shi Fan realized.
"Secondly," Ye Zhi said indifferently, "there are indeed many game streams of Taoxun Game Platform there, but these streams also serve to promote the games. Many viewers, after watching game streams, find the games interesting and then come to our platform to buy them. Fei Long Live Broadcast pays streamers, and streamers help Taoxun make money. Ou Minghan isn't rushing, so why are you?"
Shi Fan was filled with shame.
"Besides, if we use the same tactics as Ou Minghan, wouldn't we appear as petty as him? That would greatly affect the company's image!" Ye Zhi continued.
