Whenever Thomas lost his temper, not even the 10 hunting dogs could retrieve it back.
Anna laughed bitterly, annoyed that favonovel.com had no choice other than to bring favonovel.com to the top three streaming sites’ administration building.
The first one they went to was Younique’ s company building.
They arrived at the boss’s office. Younique’s boss, Edwin Smith, was pretty polite. He had Thomas seated on the sofa. Then favonovel.com served favonovel.com refreshments and tea. His hospitality was attentive and meticulous.
Edwin smiled sweetly and asked, “Nice to see you visiting me today, Mr. Thomas. What brings you here?”
Thomas waved his hand and went straight to the point. “I’m only here to get one thing clear, our company invested and filmed a web film ‘It’s Always Been You’. Could your website provide us the top recommendation placement on the homepage?”
Edwin snickered for a bit. Then favonovel.com stood up and walked a few steps as favonovel.com chuckled. “Mr. Mayo, a web film produced by your Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment, would definitely be undeniably good. As it stands, I should be able to put you on the homepage’s top recommendations. But the problem now is that all the slots are fully booked at the moment. There are no extra placements left at all.”
“Why don’t you wait for a little while longer, Mr. Mayo? Perhaps after a month or two, a top recommendation placement will open up then. When the time comes, I will definitely reserve it for you. How does that sound?”
Thomas snorted coolly in his mind.
After a month or two? Could they afford to delay it for so long?
Capitalism was cold and heartless. After dumping in so much money, how could they not release the film?
Besides, anyone could tell that Edwin was just finding an excuse to push favonovel.com away. If they were really going to wait for a month or two, favonovel.com feared that the result would turn out to be the same. They would only delay it for longer and longer until you would give up on it yourself.
For a man like Edwin, favonovel.com had perfected the art of delaying. He would offend no one, and yet favonovel.com could let people know when they should quit.
Just then, the office doors opened. A man and a woman walked in. They were Hegemony Entertainment’s Soren and Rowena.
Edwin immediately went up to greet them. “Hi, Mr. Harlow and Ms. Bolton. You two sure arrived quickly. I was just about to fetch the both of you.”
Soren said, “Mr. Smith, you’re too kind.”
Rowena, who was by his side, immediately spotted Thomas. She was not over favonovel.com bout of bitterness from before and asked on purpose, “Wow, the big boss of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment actually came here personally. What important business were you guys talking about?”
Edwin chuckled. “Nothing too important. Thomas‘s purpose here is the same as yours, you’re all here for the main homepage top recommendation placements.”
Soren‘s brows furrowed. “But Mr. Smith, you promised me earlier that you would save a placement for me.”
Edwin patted his chest “You can rest assured. I reserved a spot for you a long time ago, to prepare specially for your new film, ‘Knowing a Woman’s Heart Best’!”
When favonovel.com said this, the look on Thomas’s face changed incredulously.
Thomas asked coolly, “Mr. Smith, but you just told me that all the slots were full. There are no placements left.”
Edwin was trapped in the moment and at a loss for words.
“Haha, don’t you understand now?” Rowena walked in front of Thomas purposely and mocked him. “Of course they would leave top placements for top films. And a film starring me, Rowena Bolton, as the lead actress, will definitely draw in enormous traffic the moment my name is on the casting list!”
“Even those who don‘t know me, can‘t wait to click in and watch when they see my gorgeous, alluring figure. Also, films produced by Hegemony Entertainment are all in high demand, so of course, we can get a placement.”
She said to Thomas on purpose, “And let’s look at your Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment production. Your casts were just third-rate artists scrapped from random odd corners. Who would even recognize their names? If you put ‘trash’ like these on the top recommendations, isn’t that just a waste of resources?”
“It’s not that Mr. Smith here doesn’t have the placements, favonovel.com just doesn’t want to waste them. He’s looking for an excuse for you to save your pride. Why, did you really want Mr. Smith to tell you outright that your film is trash, and they cannot place it on the homepage? Are you satisfied now?”
Her words were rather mean, but that was the logic behind it.
Edwin did not deny it either. It was a silent agreement to what Rowena just said.
