I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Kyoto.

The Third Ring Road.

Planetary Rhythm Headquarters.

That's right.

It's the parent company of Starry Sky.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

There was a knock on the door of the founder and CEO's office.

Liu Yiming, who once topped the list of the richest people in China and was selected as one of the 50 most influential business leaders in the country, adjusted his glasses.

"Come in."

Like Bian Zaide, he was also unremarkable in appearance and thin in stature. If his identity were disregarded, he would be no different from the traditional image of an honest and dull science and technology man.

of course.

He is much younger than Bian Zaide and is the youngest richest man in China's history.

Ok.

Those who do not participate in the selection are not included.

Not everyone likes being a public figure.

These two billionaires are enough to illustrate one point: for men, appearance really doesn't matter.

We've gone off on a tangent, let's get back to the topic.

The person who pushed open the door was a vice president from the lower level. From his facial expression and walking speed, Liu Yiming could tell that it was not a good thing.

And indeed, that was the case.

"Mr. Liu, this is a post Pei Yunxi just made on the Starry Sky."

A mature company prioritizes efficiency.

The vice president got straight to the point, placing his laptop on the boss's desk and pulling up the starry sky post that Pei Yunxi had just shared.

Starry Sky has hundreds of millions of users, and the updates they post every moment are as numerous as grains of sand. As a high-level leader, it is impossible to monitor every single one. However, this simple photo, which only contained a picture of a baby, broke through Starry Sky's review department and was reported up the chain of command, "reaching the highest level."

"Is this a photo of Pei Yunxi when she was a baby?"

Liu Yiming looked at the computer screen and asked.

"should be."

"This must be the first time such photos have been released to the public, right?"

"That's right. It's exclusive."

The vice president didn't seem happy; instead, he gave a slightly bitter smile. "President Liu, Pei Yunxi is showing her support for the parents in Licheng who lost their child due to a medical accident. She's from Huicheng, and Licheng is right next to Huicheng."

Actually, no explanation is needed.

The IP address of this post indicates that it belongs to the same province as the recently sensational baby girl incident.

Liu Yiming wasn't always a high-ranking business leader; he also worked at the grassroots level. As a media professional, how could he not be sensitive to this?

"Mr. Liu, what should we do?"

The vice president requested instructions.

As a social platform, it should strive to be factual, but it should not fan the flames either; the balance between these two aspects is quite delicate.

Pei Yunxi is a top-tier celebrity with over 80 million followers on the Starry Sky platform. Her post, which is her first time sharing baby photos after two years, is sure to cause a sensation.

So here comes the question.

Pei Yunxi dared to post it, but as the platform provider, would they dare to fuel the flames?

"How is it being handled so far?"

"This post will be hidden for now, but she herself is unaware of it."

Hiding, like banning and traffic restriction, is a method used by Starry Sky to control the content published by users.

Simply put, the post may appear to be published, but in reality, others cannot see it; it's essentially visible only to the user.

This is also based on consideration of Pei Yunxi's special status.

In fact, there have been countless similar works of support recently, and some of the review departments have chosen to directly determine that the works are in violation of regulations and refuse to approve them.

"How long has it been since she posted this update?" Liu Yiming asked.

"five minutes."

What is efficiency?

It would probably take three minutes to walk from this vice president's office to Liu Yiming's office.

Hiding it is a gentler approach than simply passing it off; it's about not informing users that her content is substandard. However, it's definitely not a long-term solution. If her work consistently receives no traffic, likes, or comments, the users who post it will eventually find out, especially since Pei Yunxi has over 80 million followers.

This is the problem. We can temporarily "freeze" this post, but we have to choose between offending Pei Yunxi and cooperating with her to amplify public opinion.

If it were any other celebrity, the answer would definitely be the former.

No matter how many millions of fans a celebrity has, to the platform they are just users with a slightly special status, nothing more. When it's time to "shut them up," the platform will shut them up without much concern.

Do you really think that so-called celebrities can compare to the richest people in terms of wealth?

But it was just yesterday.

They did their best to help suppress the other party's tabloid news.

That's why the vice president rushed over to report so quickly.

He had never met Pei Yunxi in person and was unaware of her private life, but having reached this position, he possessed the necessary intelligence and intuition.

"I understand. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll handle this."

Liu Yiming said that the eyes behind the glasses were calm and peaceful, revealing no clues.

"Ok."

The vice president took his laptop and left decisively.

After the more than 200-square-meter office became quiet again, Liu Yiming picked up his personal cell phone and quickly made a call.

"Mr. Jiang."

What's the big deal?

Starry Sky is just a subsidiary of Planet Rhythm, and he is the helmsman of Planet Rhythm.

What about the other side?

He's just a user of Starry Sky.

The difference in their social status is so vast.

Why are you so respectful?

Could it be a hidden preferential treatment from the "emperor"?

"Mr. Liu."

A clear laugh came through the phone, completely unaffected by yesterday's gossip and beating.

"Mr. Jiang, there's something I need to discuss with you."

Liu Yiming, sitting at the Kyoto headquarters, also smiled.

He was younger than Bian Zaide, who had created an era, but the person on the other end of the phone was even younger.

The heroes of the world are indeed as numerous as carp crossing a river.

"Yes, Mr. Liu, please go ahead."

“Miss Pei posted a status update on the starry sky a few minutes ago. I sent it to Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang can take a look on his phone now.”

Liu Yiming held his phone in one hand and operated the computer with the other, issuing orders.

There was no response from the other end; they were probably browsing the starry sky. About half a minute later, I heard breathing sounds again on the phone.

Liu Yiming patiently continued, "I don't know if Mr. Jiang has heard about the medical accident that happened in Licheng. The impact of this accident was extremely bad. If it is publicized, it will cause collective trauma and social distrust. Therefore, Xingkong has always been very cautious in handling the release of relevant information."

"understand."

"So, I don't know how Mr. Jiang thinks it should be handled."

The light from the computer screen reflected off his glasses as Liu Yiming awaited the other party's decision.

The Starry Sky review department needs the approval of higher-ups, just like the vice president just now needed his approval, and so does he.

Whether you're an employee or a business owner, the essence is actually quite the same.

Or, ultimately, it's a philosophy of survival.

—Try not to take responsibility upon yourself.

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Liu has a son and a daughter."

The other party inexplicably changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiming's gaze involuntarily shifted from the computer screen to a group photo placed on the desk. The photo showed four people, two adults and two children, two men and two women, looking happy and content.

Liu Yiming unconsciously revealed a kind smile. His ordinary appearance seemed to be filtered through an invisible lens, making him appear friendly and warm—the inherent qualities of the "father" role.

"um, yes."

Mr. Jiang, who was much younger than the other party and had not yet become a father, spoke softly and decisively:
"Mr. Liu is very lucky. It is often said that children are like stars in the sky. Before they are reincarnated, they secretly observe from heaven. If they see what is happening on earth, I wonder if they would still dare to come to this world."

Liu Yiming remained silent for a long while before speaking.

"I won't disturb Mr. Jiang any longer." (End of Chapter)
