My leg doesn't hurt anymore, so I can make an appointment now.
Who can withstand such bluntness?
What's even more remarkable is that it's the kind of thing where you don't have to take responsibility after you've done it.
Chu Yang took a deep breath: "Teacher Su Yan, this is really not right. Where is your dignity? Where is your morality? Where is your conscience? Where is your bottom line? Where is your address?"
Su Yan was stunned for a while before she reacted, then chuckled: "I almost thought you weren't willing. Why don't you come to my villa now?"
Just as Chu Yang was about to agree, a pair of slender hands reached around from behind and stroked his chest.
He knew it was Lou Chunyue from the solid, elastic touch on his back.
It was evening, and only the two of them were left in the company.
Lou Chunyue is so passionate; it seems she won't be able to leave tonight.
"Um, Ms. Su Yan, let me finish these next two days. I might need to ask for leave again tomorrow and the day after."
"...Okay, then we'll talk when you're free."
Chu Yang hung up the phone, threw it on the table, turned around and kissed Lou Chunyue without saying a word.
After they parted, Lou Chunyue's pretty face flushed slightly, and her expression was charming.
While unbuttoning Chu Yang's shirt, he asked, "Which woman contacted you this time?"
Chu Yang didn't hide anything: "My professor for my major courses."
Lou Chunyue looked up at him and said with a coquettish snort, "You're really something!"
Chu Yang smiled slightly and kissed her neck a few times.
"What's wrong, are you jealous?"
"Yes, is that not allowed?"
"Of course, but I just declined her invitation."
"That's more like it. Let's go to the lounge."
"..."
And so, a night of frenzied passion and passion ensued.
...
the next day.
After his morning training session, Chu Yang learned that the copyright order had already begun to be implemented.
"November 15th is a memorable day."
Chu Yang sat in front of the computer and opened a pirated music website that used to have a lot of traffic, but the webpage showed that the website had been returned as a 404 error.
Then I opened Baidu Music Search, searched for a few songs, and found that the number of results displayed was much less than before.
The speed at which the authorities are cleaning up the internet is quite fast.
This also means that digital music piracy has not yet reached a rampant level.
On the other hand, if Baidu's music search becomes successful, it will also encourage piracy.
Piracy made Baidu a success, and Baidu, in turn, provided piracy with a platform and sustenance.
If you wait until they've become too big to handle before trying to eradicate them, it'll be like playing whack-a-mole.
"The court summons was sent out yesterday; Baidu's headquarters are in Beijing."
Chu Yang propped his elbows up, his gaze fixed on Baidu's homepage.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Li Yanhong will receive it today."
…
at the same time.
At Baidu's headquarters in Beijing, Li Yanhong once again gathered his key personnel. After some discussion, they prepared to put the optimized music search function into use.
Li Yanhong was very clear-headed and knew that this was a risky move that tested the limits of danger. However, he also knew that in the current environment of fierce competition among domestic search engines, this was the only way for Baidu to stand out, or even defeat Google and soar to new heights.
All's fair in war, and he couldn't care less about deception anymore.
"Mr. Li, what if we get sued?" a key employee asked, expressing his concern.
"Sue? It's a long way off." Li Yanhong said confidently, taking a sip of tea. "Where there's demand, there's a market. What we're doing may not be ethical, but it's related to market opportunities and our chance to grow!"
"By the time those record companies realize what's happening, we'll probably have already eaten up all the traffic we could get, and by then we'll have become a towering tree."
"Furthermore, to put it another way, we're not the ones doing the piracy; we're just providing the links. Ninety-nine percent of music websites in China are illegal. No matter how you argue, this arrow can't be aimed at us!"
These words completely reassured his subordinates.
"Alright, since no one has any objections, it's settled then. Execute it immediately, without delay!" Li Yanhong made the final decision, full of vigor.
Just as the meeting was about to be adjourned, there was a knock on the meeting room door.
The beautiful secretary walked in, holding a letter in her hand, looking nervous: "Mr. Li, a court summons!"
Everyone in the conference room, including Li Yanhong, was taken aback.
I thought to myself, "No way, could it be...?"
"...It's an infringement of copyright in the online dissemination of musical works!" the beautiful secretary said.
This statement was like a bucket of cold water being poured directly over someone's head.
Sure enough! What I feared most came to pass!
Li Yanhong, who had just confidently stated that the prosecution wouldn't be quick, now looked as if he had swallowed a fly.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and held out his hand: "Give it to me!"
He took the summons and read it carefully, finally fixing his gaze on the plaintiff's group.
"Coolcat Music, EMI Records, Universal Music, Sony, Warner...!!" He suddenly went berserk.
"Impossible! It can't be this fast! Absolutely impossible!!"
In the conference room, apart from his somewhat irrational roar, everyone else held their breath and dared not speak.
"...They couldn't possibly have reacted that quickly! Also, what is this Cool Cat Music? Does anyone know, huh?!"
A key member said timidly, "It's a newly launched music website. They even have a player, and all the music is legal. They mentioned it to you at last week's meeting. You said, you said..."
"No need to say anything more!" Li Yanhong raised his hand to stop him.
He remembered how he had dismissed it with disdain and confidently declared that once Baidu's music search was launched, this whole "KuMaoYiMao" thing would be doomed.
