Chapter 8.6 & 8.7

Hayden broke through his fear and shot a very superb photo, so his mood was very sunny these days. No one would think that currently online, he was the network's most hated slag man. He and Emily's disorderly behavior gained the audience's great displeasure.

Gustav was very surprised when he received complaints. In the first three episodes, the two's hook-up got the blessing of a vast majority of the audience. The two's relationship was so heartfelt that everyone loved seeing their affectionate behaviors. And the program was not for children, so they shouldn't be getting ethical opposition.

But after carefully reading the letter of complaint, Gustav was dumbfounded.

The audience members' general complaint seemed to be: Don't you see Romeo's dejected expression? For God's sake don't oppress the child! Get those two people away from him!

Others also wrote that Hayden and Emily's behavior was imposing a great psychological shadow on Romeo. He is a child and needs a safe and orderly environment to mature. The program team should've taken his age into account.

All the letters mentioned Hayden's damage to Romeo, it seemed that after the boy came out of the closet, he'd received everyone's approval. Gustav was genuinely happy for the teenager, but he couldn't stop Hayden and Emily's love. This was a human right and a rule of law in society, so long as they didn't hinder the interests of others, they were free to love who they wanted.

Gustav ordered the public relations department to respond appropriately to the complaints, then put on his coat and headed to the studio. He wanted to know how Kitten was doing lately, was he still confused and fearful?

But suddenly, MOT's marketing director came to visit.

"Gustav my old friend, you've given me a huge headache." The usually extravagant director now looked exhausted, staring at a stack of photos like it was giving him a migraine.

"What happened?" Gustav personally poured him a cup of coffee.

"The promotional photos you gave me are not the ones I wanted." Mr. Director put the pictures of Emily and Romeo on the table, he pointed to Emily and said, "She is very good. If there was no Romeo or I had not seen his photos in advance, I would be happy to use her. But my friend, you should know me, I'm a perfectionist. There's a perfect product here, but you're insisting I use this defective one! I really can't accept it."

Gustav stared at the boy's photo, his eyes were a little astonished, but he still handled official affairs seriously, "But we signed a contract in advance, you have to use the promotional photos we gave."

"That's because I had confidence in your production team, and knew that you'd definitely give me the best. Well, look at this, you'd have to be blind to choose this!" Mr. Director scorned.

Gustav had to admit that Ariel was too conveniently blind. The boy's score and Emily's only differed by a point or two, if Ariel had given him a fair score, today's controversy wouldn't exist.

He knew what Ariel was up to, but he couldn't bring it up to outsiders, otherwise, it would affect the reputation of the show. He repeatedly apologized to the director, and agreed to give them appropriate compensation.

The director thought for a moment and compromised, "The contract cannot be breached, but it doesn't require that each of our stores has to have your poster. So I can post Emily's poster in the main store, and leave the other stores to our company. What do you think? Also, in the future, all arrangements related to our company's products need the best photo to be selected with our consent, so today's dilemma won't happen again. If you have no opinion, I would like to write this condition into the original contract."
