In Shanghai, as soon as Wei Yang landed from the plane, he rushed to the PPTV headquarters.
As soon as he entered the front desk, Wei Yang clearly felt that the company had changed a lot since the last time he came.
Wei Yang has been busy filming in the past few months. Although he has not given up his work at PPTV, he is more focused on directing and formulating strategies, and is not very aware of some non-important specific changes in the company.
Li Ji, the head of PPTV who rushed over after hearing the news, also introduced the company's recent development status to the boss.
Since it was determined that it had taken control of PPTV, the internal actions of PPTV have never stopped.
Many parts of the website need to be rectified, and departments and employees also need to make some adjustments. These alone are enough to help us sort things out.
At the same time, in order to cultivate direct employees and develop and promote multiple new project sectors, more than 300 new employees have been recruited in the past few months. These are only formal employees, and temporary workers, interns, seconded and outsourced teams are not included.
“How many people does our company have now?”
"There are about 1,000 regular employees at present. If you include others, there are about 1,300 to 1,500. Because many people and teams are not fixed, it is difficult to make a unified calculation."
“This is a big company.”
Wei Yang felt a little emotional. You know, Blue Whale doesn't have so many people now. After all, many aspects of the film and television industry can be outsourced, and some of them were split up later.
For example, many of the people who specialize in film and television investment at Jade Shrimp come from Blue Whale.
At present, a considerable proportion of PPTV's executives and technical support were transferred by Boss Wei from Blue Whale.
So although Blue Whale is currently known as an industry giant, the number of its employees is not as exaggerated as imagined.
On the contrary, Red Shark has developed well in the gaming industry in the past two years. The number of its internal employees exceeded four digits as early as last year, and it is still recruiting people. It is the company with the most employees under Wei Yang.
This is also a major attribute of Internet companies. As long as there is a market, the staff can be expanded extremely quickly and laid off when they are not needed. The liquidity is also particularly sufficient.
However, for PPTV, now is the time to take drastic measures. There will be great strides in the future, so there is no need to worry about large-scale layoffs and downsizing for the time being.
Boss Wei thought about it himself.
Before he knew it, he actually had thousands of people or even thousands of families relying on him for their livelihoods, and there were even more people who indirectly depended on him for their livelihoods.
“Is the company’s space sufficient?”
It seems that PPTV’s staff has nearly doubled, and more people will be recruited in the future, so the office space and various facilities must keep up.
"We have already contacted the park and are currently investigating the specific location. We will send you a detailed report later."
Wei Yang nodded, and asked Li Ji to lead the way, carefully observing and introducing some key projects and talents promoted by PPTV.
He also met two senior executives from Suning on the way. When the latter saw him again, they seemed to be less rebellious and resentful than before and greeted him honestly.
"Chairman."
"Where is your CEO Lu?"
The situation was very good. Wei Yang didn't even bother to act. Lu Yan, the CEO of PPTV, simply became "your President Lu", and the two Suning executives were not surprised at all.
Within the company, Li Ji and Wei Yang's group have made no secret of their suppression of them. Without Boss Wei's approval, those people would certainly not be so rampant.
"Boss Lu has been feeling a little unwell these past few days and has been hospitalized for treatment. He is now resting at home for the time being."
"Why didn't you tell me about this? Ask the director to send someone to visit Mr. Lu in my name. If it's convenient, I'll give him a call in the evening."
Wei Yang was a little surprised, but he soon realized that he was not really sick, but was looking for an excuse to be sick because he saw the situation was unfavorable.
However, no matter whether Lu Yan was playing it safe or conserving his energy to wait for a counterattack, Wei Yang, as the chairman, still had to show his attitude.
"Yes, I'll arrange it in a moment."
Li Jiying said yes, and the two Suning executives looked at each other. One of them, a slightly fat man with glasses, who was currently in charge of brand work, took the initiative to invite them.
"Chairman, how about you also give us some advice on the work of our department?"
"OK."
Wei Yang was very straightforward, even smiling. He didn't know what other tricks Suning had up its sleeve.
But right now in PPTV, the Suning group really has no fighting power. The leader pretends to be sick to avoid fighting, the executives also have their own thoughts, and there are even people who try to get close to him.
In a word, the people's hearts are with me! Li Ji also thinks so. Although he is usually extremely cruel to Suning and looks domineering and arrogant, he is actually always keeping an eye on them.
In his opinion, the situation of Suning is more serious than Wei Yang expected.
In just the past half month of July, two Suning executives have taken the initiative to send him friendly signals. Others may not intend to defect to the enemy, but they are very eager to switch jobs and return to the headquarters.
If this continues, after the summer strategy, even if Suning wants to start implementing some tricks, it may not have the right candidates.
"We should not be careless. Boss Zhang is not easy to deal with. If he sees the rise of PPTV and convinces the insiders to invest heavily, it will still be a problem for us."
The rise of PPTV has both advantages and disadvantages for Wei Yang's plans against Suning.
Wei Yang's faction was credited with great success, and their voice and reputation within the company increased greatly, while Suning's faction was completely defeated. This is a good thing. The bad thing is that PPTV's attention has increased, especially with the madness of its summer strategy, which has made the outside world extremely optimistic about PPTV, and its valuation has been rising, which has also led to an increase in the website's status at Suning.
PPTV was not taken seriously in the past, so Suning might have given up on it.
But a promising video website might attract Suning.
After all, the example of LeTV is here, and Suning had the idea of learning from it before. Now that it has a suitable platform, it is not impossible to discuss increasing investment.
Therefore, Wei Yang always remained cautious towards Suning, and Li Ji was also aware of this.
"According to your plan, after the summer strategy, we will take advantage of our victory to proactively seize power from Suning on a large scale, and invest 2-3 billion yuan to force Suning to fight a decisive battle and seize absolute control."
Again, by gaining absolute control, Wei Yang can make arrangements calmly no matter if Suning makes any small moves or brings Alibaba into the game.
"When the time comes, you will draw up a plan, and I will look for opportunities outside to mobilize channels and connections to support you."
Wei Yang is not only good at spending money, he also has a lot of other resources that he can mobilize. He can then create troubles for Suning in many ways and force them to be unable to fight with their full strength. If he handles it well, he can win the battle in one go.
Next, Wei Yang looked at the growth data for July reported by Li Ji. The situation was encouraging, which made him very happy.
"I thought the year-end goals I set were a bit exaggerated and were just a motivation. I didn't expect you to do so well. If you continue like this, most of these goals can be achieved, or even completed ahead of schedule."
Li Ji was very happy to receive the praise, but he was also afraid that Boss Wei would get too excited and end up getting humiliated, so he quickly poured cold water on him.
"Chairman, our current data is in the explosive growth period, which is more or less inflated. After the summer strategy, there is a high probability that there will be some decline..."
He didn't say all the words, but his meaning was very clear. Now is the peak season, or even the hot season, and there will definitely be a off-season or even a cold season later.
If Wei Yang compares the current data with the whole year's data, they will never be able to complete it.
"Don't worry, I didn't give you any tasks, just do what you have to do."
Wei Yang was not the kind of manager who was not good at anything. Hearing this, he smiled, said a few words to comfort him, and patted Li Ji on the shoulder.
"You've done a great job. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Gather the key members and meet everyone. I'll celebrate your success."
This kind of overtime party may seem annoying, but sometimes it is necessary.
PPTV has made great contributions during this period, and Chairman Wei Yang cannot help but express his appreciation. In private gatherings, everyone gets along more casually, which also indicates closeness.
Ordinary employees are annoyed by having meals with their boss because it is meaningless, but they, the core elites, are eager to get closer to their boss in private and become familiar with him.
Otherwise, the boss won't know you and won't be aware of your contributions. No matter how well you do, you won't be eligible for promotion or salary increase in the future.
There was a banquet in the evening, and Wei Yang was a little tipsy, which was rare for him.
There was no way around it. Many people at PPTV were drinking with the boss for the first time and were extremely enthusiastic.
As they had made great contributions, Wei Yang gave them face and drank till the glass was dry. In the round-the-clock battle, even with his alcohol tolerance, it was impossible for him to remain unscathed.
The personal bodyguard and driver Huo Jun asked, and Wei Yang calculated with his fingers.
After Liu Shishi finished filming "Langya Bang", she planned to return to Beijing to visit her home, not to stay in Shanghai.
Zhao Liying is busy promoting "The Journey of Flower" and is currently recording a program for Hunan TV in Star City.
My parents have also returned to their hometown. Grandpa Wei Yang’s sister-in-law, Wang Yunping’s third aunt, passed away some time ago. The old couple went back to attend the funeral, and then stayed in their hometown for a while to visit relatives. They have not returned yet.
"Go to Ningjingdongfang!"
This is where Tang Yan lives, but now that "Ode to Joy" is filming, Wei Yang is not sure whether she is there.
I am too lazy to call to confirm. If she is there, she is there. If she is not, forget it. It is not like I cannot sleep alone…
Arriving at Ningjingdongfang, Wei Yang took the door card from Huo Jun and walked upstairs.
He would not keep these things with him, in case he was searched or accidentally exposed one day, which would be difficult to explain. Therefore, he left them in the custody of Huo Jun and Wei Fei and they could be taken out whenever they were needed.

The drinking party ended quite late, and it was almost dawn when they arrived at the community. The lights were off at home. Wei Yang, who had a headache from the wind, poured himself a glass of water, gulped down most of it, then took off his shoes and walked into the bedroom barefoot.
It was the hottest time of the year, but the room was still quite cool with the air conditioner on, so the people in the room covered themselves with quilts.
"Very good, it's not in vain."
Wei Yang smiled, didn't turn on the light, took off his pants, got on the bed, hugged the person over, and pinched her skillfully.
Yeah, the feel is right!
Wei Yang was about to sip it, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. Although the touch was familiar, it was different from Tang Yan's. Instead, it felt like...
The smile on his face disappeared completely, and Wei Yang could even vaguely feel the cold sweat on his forehead.
At this moment, the woman in his arms had opened her eyes, staring at him expressionlessly, and spoke coldly.
"You guys really have a problem."
Hearing this familiar voice, Boss Wei's face turned pale with fright. He hurriedly wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. He could only utter two words.
“Shi Shi…”
That’s right, the person lying on Tang Yan’s bed at this moment, and who made Wei Yang feel familiar, was Liu Shishi who had left Hengdian the day before.
It’s just that Liu Shishi said at that time that she was going to Beijing to visit her parents, but for some reason, she actually returned to the Magic City and ran to Tang Yan’s house, catching Boss Wei red-handed.
In the master bedroom of my best friend's house, I ran into her boyfriend who started to get fussy as soon as we had sex. This was not much better than catching him cheating in bed.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence!
After a long while, Wei Yang finally spoke: "When did you find out?"
Boss Wei is not stupid. Liu Shishi suddenly changed her mind and appeared at Tang Yan's place, but neither she nor Tang Yan mentioned this to him. It happened to be the time when his parents and Zhao Liying were not there, and he had "nowhere to go" in the Magic City.
One or two coincidences are coincidences, but all the coincidences added together are not coincidences.
This was most likely a long-planned plan by Liu Shishi to catch someone cheating, or at least a test and a probe, but Wei Yang was caught off guard and was caught red-handed.
“When did you start?”
Liu Shishi did not answer, but asked back in a cold voice. Wei Yang was in the wrong and angry, and he didn't know how much information Wei Yang knew. He didn't dare to lie easily and could only answer honestly.
"It was probably before the first filming of Joy of Life began."
"Haha, that's long enough."
Liu Shishi couldn't suppress her anger even with a sneer. She kicked Wei Yang, who was still hugging her, away, and stood up angrily to put on her clothes.
"Where are you going?"
"None of your business, let go."
Liu Shishi was so angry that if Wei Yang dared to stop her, she would raise her hands to beat and scold him. Boss Wei let her vent, but he didn't dare to let go, for fear that he would run away. If something happened, she would be dead.
"Well, if you really don't want to see me, I'll find someone to accompany you. I'm really worried about you being alone."
Liu Shishi was making a big fuss and Wei Yang couldn't control her, so he could only take a step back. Seeing that she had no intention of objecting, Wei Yang asked tentatively.
"Yang Mi seems to be in the Magic City. Should I ask her to accompany you?"
Liu Shishi remained silent, and Boss Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he thought that the secret had not been exposed, the former suddenly said something.
"Why don't you call Tang Yan as well, so I can learn more about stealing your best friend's girlfriend's girlfriend."
“…”
Wei Yang's heart sank, his mind was spinning wildly. What went wrong? How did Liu Shishi suddenly change from a naive and innocent woman to a sharp-tongued wife?
The version iteration is too fast and he can’t react!
Seeing that Wei Yang was still playing tricks at this point, Liu Shishi didn't want to pay any attention to him. She seized the opportunity, got up, opened the door and left.
Only then did Wei Yang realize that Liu Shishi actually knew the password to Tang Yan's door, and it seemed that she had been prepared for it.
However, at this time, he had no time to investigate Liu Shishi's actions. He hurriedly followed Liu Shishi downstairs and finally managed to get on the passenger seat before she drove away.
"get off."
"I won't get off."
"Do you have any shame?"
"don't want."
Wei Yang was determined to take it all. He was really afraid that Liu Shishi would be upset, so no matter what the other party did, he just followed her.
Liu Shishi couldn't do anything to him, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll drive into the river later, you mustn't be scared."
Then we can just be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks! This sentence was on the tip of his tongue, but Wei Yang didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear of irritating Liu Shishi, so he remained silent, but did not get out of the car.
To be honest, he was not afraid of being beaten or scolded by Liu Shishi. Even if she threw a tantrum, cried, and made a fuss, or even threatened to break up, he would still accept it.
But I’m afraid that there is a sense of calmness in this kind of anger, which makes people unsure of Liu Shishi’s thoughts, which is really scary.
Wei Yang will not leave Liu Shishi's side until he is sure that she will not do anything extreme. At the very least, he will arrange for someone he trusts enough to look after her.
In this strange atmosphere, Liu Shishi drove with Wei Yang back to their common home.
As soon as she entered the room, Liu Shishi started to busy herself with packing up all of Wei Yang's things and throwing them into the corridor. Her meaning was very simple.
Kick someone out of the door! In the face of Liu Shishi's indifferent and fierce eyes, Wei Yang did not dare to stop him. He could only stand by helplessly and watch Liu Shishi throw his things out of the door.
Among them were some of his treasured and frequently used items, but no matter how heartbroken he was, he dared not say a word.
When Liu Shishi was tired of throwing the things away, he took the initiative to help clean up. Unexpectedly, this made Liu Shishi even more angry.
"You're so eager to leave with those two bitches, aren't you?"
"No, no."
Wei Yang waved his hands in fear, but he was actually happy in his heart. He was not afraid of being angry, as long as he was still jealous, there was room for redemption...
