Meng Chang never would have expected that after submitting such a promotional plan, he would actually get praised by Mr. Pei!

This scene was truly bizarre, to the point where Meng Chang felt a sense of unreality.

This promotional video was clearly taking a dig at the entire livestreaming industry.

As a form of emerging entertainment, livestreaming had indeed brought joy to many people, but being addicted to it would waste tremendous amounts of time and derail one’s studies and career.

Of course, all entertainment projects were like that. Whether it was watching TV, reading novels, playing games, watching livestreams, or scrolling through videos, in moderation they were leisure activities, but in excess they became a waste of life.

Any healthy form of entertainment naturally had its merits, at least in providing mental relaxation and stress relief.

Besides decompression, livestreaming could also let viewers see different corners of the world, which could be considered broadening horizons.

When other livestreaming platforms created promotional videos, they basically focused on these aspects, desperately digging for livestreaming’s positive aspects to leave a good impression of their platform in the public’s mind.

But Meng Chang’s promotional video aggressively broadcasted the dangers of livestreaming addiction, through a stark contrast between two people, brutally exposing the wound.

Were these two people’s different fates really because of livestreaming?

Not necessarily.

Underachieving students inherently had poorer self-control. Even without watching livestreams, they would browse web pages or play games—there would always be ways to kill time. So replacing livestreaming with other forms of entertainment in the promotional video wouldn’t feel out of place either.

Therefore, this promotional video was inherently somewhat biased.

From the moment the video script was written, this was already apparent. Now that the video was filmed, it was even more obvious.

But what was really uncanny was that the marketing department’s crew had no objections whatsoever and very efficiently completed the promotional video; and Mr. Pei also had no objections, even praising Meng Chang!

In that instant, Meng Chang even thought everyone was conspiring against him, experiencing a surreal feeling of “either I’m crazy or the whole world is crazy.”

So despite Mr. Pei’s praise, he didn’t know how to react, freezing in place, momentarily speechless.

Pei Qian didn’t say much else. He thought this promotional video was quite good.

On one hand, it was very educational, reminding people not to get addicted to livestreaming and to do more meaningful things, taking responsibility for their own lives; on the other hand, it deterred Rabbit Tail Live’s target users.

Quite perfect!

Pei Qian handed the tablet back to Meng Chang: “Take this video to show Old Ma. Tell him I’ve already approved it, and we’ll use this version.”

Looking dazed, Meng Chang took the tablet and left Tenda headquarters, then drove to Rabbit Tail Live.

Rabbit Tail Live’s office building was where Ma Yang had previously done livestream selling. However, after deciding to establish Rabbit Tail Live, Ma Yang rented additional workstations and hired some professionals. Currently, APP development was in full swing, with various preparatory work proceeding simultaneously.

Seeing Ma Yang playing the fully automatic argument machine at his workstation, Meng Chang felt somewhat apprehensive again.

In his mind, Mr. Ma was second only to Mr. Pei in the Tenda Group hierarchy.

Previously, Mr. Pei had sent Mr. Ma to sabotage his press conference—masters clashing, each move deadly serious.

This promotional plan had somehow passed Mr. Pei’s scrutiny, but could it pass Mr. Ma’s just as smoothly?

Meng Chang was highly doubtful.

He calmed his nervous emotions and approached Mr. Ma: “Mr. Ma, Rabbit Tail Live’s promotional video is complete. Mr. Pei asked me to show it to you, saying he’s already approved it and we’ll use this version.”

Ma Yang was seriously engaged with the fully automatic argument machine, not even turning around: “Since Mr. Pei said to use this version, then we’ll use this version. It doesn’t matter whether I watch it or not.”

Meng Chang was startled: “Mr. Ma, you should take a look! Otherwise, I can’t properly report back.”

Although Mr. Pei had said it was fine, the entire livestreaming platform was under Mr. Ma’s charge. If Mr. Ma didn’t watch the promotional video now and something went wrong later, he wouldn’t dare blame Mr. Pei and would definitely come after Meng Chang!

Meng Chang didn’t dare take that risk, so he insisted Mr. Ma take a look.

Finding this guy’s attitude firm, Ma Yang reluctantly took the tablet with clear annoyance and watched the video from start to finish.

“Finished watching, it’s fine.”

“We’ll use this version.”

Ma Yang returned to his battle with the argument machine.

He had glanced through it perfunctorily, feeling the promotional video was somewhat strange, but thinking again that since Brother Qian had approved it, there definitely wouldn’t be any problems. Going through the motions was enough.

Meng Chang’s mouth twitched slightly. He could tell Mr. Ma’s elongated face seemed written all over with superficiality.

That didn’t make sense, did it?

Mr. Ma should be a highly capable person. How could something as important as a promotional video be passed with just a glance, treated so dismissively?

Could it be that Mr. Ma not only had unconditional trust in Mr. Pei but had also grasped Mr. Pei’s intentions through such a cursory scan?

Meng Chang still felt uneasy, especially that feeling of “the whole world is acting against me” seemed even stronger!

But with Mr. Ma having already seen it, forcefully asking him to watch again would definitely be inappropriate.

Meng Chang had no other options. After thinking, he said: “How about this, Mr. Ma, I’ll send this video to you through the internal work software. If you find any issues, you can contact me anytime.”

Ma Yang nodded while playing the argument machine: “Fine.”

Meng Chang looked at the busy employees in the office area, then at Mr. Ma seriously playing the argument machine, and quietly slipped out.

Anyway, my job is complete. If none of you have objections to the promotional plan, then I’ll just muddle through like this!

Since you’ve all approved the promotional plan, don’t come blaming me when the marketing fails. I’ll take my high commission, and I absolutely won’t take the fall for you!

Several minutes after Meng Chang left, Ma Yang stopped the argument machine and looked somewhat puzzled in the direction where Meng Chang had departed.

“Huh, those two stripes of mustache look familiar. Have I seen him before?”

“…Who was it again?”

Ma Yang thought hard for half a minute, to no avail.

After all, Tenda Group had too many employees. Ma Yang met so many colleagues daily, and with his poor memory, how could he possibly remember them all.

“Forget it, whoever it is doesn’t matter.”

“Chen Yufeng isn’t here right now. When he gets back, I’ll have him look at this promotional video too.”

During Old Ma’s livestream selling sessions, Chen Yufeng had been writing scripts for him diligently. This time with Rabbit Tail Live, Chen Yufeng was naturally entrusted with important responsibilities, fully overseeing all preliminary preparations for Rabbit Tail Live.

Whenever there were difficult matters to handle, Old Ma would dump them all on him.

For this promotional video, although Mr. Pei’s decision was final and unchangeable, as the actual person in charge of Rabbit Tail Live’s operations, Chen Yufeng definitely needed to see the promotional video. Bypassing him would be inappropriate.

After another half hour, Chen Yufeng returned from running errands.

Ma Yang forwarded the video to Chen Yufeng and told him this was Rabbit Tail Live’s latest promotional video.

Chen Yufeng returned to his workstation, clicked on the video, and watched it from beginning to end.

After finishing, Chen Yufeng couldn’t help but be shocked.

What the heck was this!

This wasn’t a promotional video—it was throwing mud on their own livestreaming platform!

No, more accurately, it was throwing mud on the entire livestreaming industry…

This was like an area-of-effect attack. If this promotional video was released, it would definitely offend all livestreaming platform competitors and viewers who loved watching livestreams!

Making enemies before even launching?

Chen Yufeng was stunned: “Mr. Ma, who made this promotional video? This is utter nonsense!”

Ma Yang shook his head: “Seems like it came from the marketing department, not sure who specifically.”

Chen Yufeng hurried to say: “This promotional video absolutely won’t work! If this gets released, it will severely damage our livestreaming platform’s image! This is like exposing our own shortcomings. People who don’t know better would think the marketing department has some major beef with us!”

“How did you approve such a plan, Mr. Ma?”

Ma Yang replied: “I didn’t approve it—Mr. Pei made the final call.”

Chen Yufeng: “…”

Holy crap, Mr. Pei made the final call!

Chen Yufeng had a bellyful of complaints to spit out, but Ma Yang’s phrase “Mr. Pei made the final call” shut him down completely.

Chen Yufeng felt his worldview being instantly overturned. He sat back down and watched the entire video again from start to finish.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Yufeng furrowed his brow: “If Mr. Pei made the final call…”

“Could it mean this video contains some deeper meaning?”
