Chapter 742
Suddenly, many people began to angrily attack Kaka Manga, and Liu Yiyi was extremely angry when she saw all this.
The sound of a cold keyboard rang out; Liu Yiyi typed on the keyboard nervously, a trace of firmness revealed in her eyes.
She was eager to defend herself, eager to let everyone know the truth.
She opened the chat history with A-Ku, her eyes fixed on the dialogue content that emerged from the past on the screen.
"A-Ku, how could you do this to Kaka Manga? We have all put in so much effort, how could you betray us so easily?" Liu Yiyi replied fiercely.
A-Ku's reply shocked her: "Kaka Manga is just a trash platform! If it weren't for someone funding me, I wouldn't even bother publishing my works there!"
Anger surged in Liu Yiyi's heart.
She recalled the day she signed the contract with A-Ku; at that time, he was still an unknown manga artist.
Liu Yiyi saw his potential and gave him an opportunity. But now it seemed that he didn't cherish it at all.
She made up her mind to prove through this exposure that the Kaka Manga company did not have any so-called "black history."
She mobilized her team to organize all the chat records and accompany them with corresponding evidence.
When these chat records were posted on Weibo, it immediately caused a massive uproar.
Netizens began to support Kaka Manga and expressed their disappointment with A-Ku one after another.
"A-Ku betraying the team like this is truly shameful!"
"Kaka Manga has always been my favorite platform; it will absolutely not be ruined by such a person!"
"Liu Yiyi, go for it! Supporting you in exposing the truth."
Liu Yiyi stared at the screen, watching the comments increase.
She was full of pressure, but she firmly believed that the decision she made was correct.
Liu Yiyi watched nervously as news reports and netizen comments kept emerging on the computer screen.
She could feel the storm of public opinion sweeping across the entire internet; people were angry at A-Ku's betrayal, but at the same time, they held doubts about the Kaka Manga company.
The office was brightly lit, and everyone was working actively.
Liu Yiyi organized the netizens' comments, trying to find a way to respond.
"We cannot sit and wait for death. We must actively respond to the netizens' questions."
Her colleague nodded in agreement. "Yes, we must let them know that we have not failed their expectations."
Just then, the company's senior management walked into the office. General Manager Xiao Zhao frowned, "This incident is too sudden; we must take action immediately to restore public trust in us."
Others echoed. "Yes, we cannot be suppressed."
Xiao Zhao pointed to the news scrolling on the TV wall.
"This is a critical moment. We need to re-examine all the manga artists' manuscripts to ensure the quality of the manga and copyright issues."
Liu Yiyi looked at everyone nervously. "We need to re-examine the manuscripts as soon as possible and strengthen copyright protection. Only in this way can we explain to the netizens the changes and efforts we have made."

"That's right," Xiao Zhao nodded. "We also need to take the initiative to have a dialogue with the users on Weibo who are concerned about this matter, so they can understand our determination."
Liu Yiyi's expression was firm. "I agree. I will try my best to answer their questions so they know we are not indifferent."
Everyone began to divide the work and take action.
The office was busy and orderly, and everyone felt the pressure of the crisis.
Liu Yiyi reopened her computer and began to reply to the netizens' comments.
Combining the rebuttal reasons given by the company and her own understanding of Kaka Manga's development direction, she conveyed them to the netizens as objectively and truthfully as possible.
At the same time, in other rooms of the company, technical staff were busy examining the manuscripts; every detail was carefully checked to ensure that similar incidents would not happen again.
Several hours passed, and everyone had put in a lot of effort.
Liu Yiyi's eyes were a bit tired, but everything she had paid was worth it.
She believed that as long as they persisted, Kaka Manga would definitely regain public recognition.
In the following days, the company launched comprehensive rectification measures.
Technical staff increased the intensity of manuscript examination to ensure that every detail met the requirements.
At the same time, they actively interacted with users on Weibo who were concerned about this matter and issued a public apology.
After comprehensive rectification, the Kaka Manga company gradually regained public trust.
They released a series of high-quality, creative, and copyright-clear manga works and cooperated with other institutions to launch derivative products.
The Kaka Manga company took on a new look, and the office was filled with an atmosphere of joy.
Liu Yiyi gathered with other manga artists to appreciate their new works.
Fang Yang excitedly picked up a newly published manga magazine and carefully appreciated every character on the inner pages.
This magazine was carefully created by the top artists of the Kaka Manga company, possessing smooth and vivid lines and colorful, distinct illustrations.
"Li Zhou, look, this character is designed so well!" Fang Yang said excitedly, pointing to a heroic and handsome male protagonist in the book.
Li Zhou smiled and nodded: "Yeah, he not only has an outstanding appearance but also deep connotations. I heard that there is a worldview and complex plot setting behind this story."
Liu Yiyi walked over, looked at the magazine they were appreciating, and said with emotion: "Everyone has done a great job! The image of the Kaka Manga company has undergone earth-shaking changes, which is inseparable from everyone's efforts and dedication."
Other manga artists also expressed their appreciation for each other's works.
The office was filled with an atmosphere of joy and pride, and everyone shared their creative journeys and sources of inspiration.
Liu Yiyi stood up and said to everyone: "We have successfully completed the mission of reinvigorating our spirits! But we cannot be satisfied with this; let us continue to work hard to create more amazing works!"
Everyone cheered in unison and began to prepare for the next wave of more exciting and stimulating manga works.
They were conceiving plots and designing new characters in their brains.
At the same time, in the outside world, many netizens expressed their recognition of the changes in the Kaka Manga company.
However, just as the team at Kaka Manga was immersed in the joy of creation, waves of shocking news began to sweep through the entire manga circle.
892, Famous in the manga circle! Do you understand the facts? (Seeking full subscription)
A former employee who had worked at Penguin Manga stood up and exposed Penguin Manga's operational methods.
He revealed that Penguin Manga had signed "yin-yang contracts" with some manga artists, which meant that even if these manga artists successfully completed their works within the contract period, they could not leave the Penguin Manga company.
Otherwise, they would be held liable for breach of contract and would need to pay huge liquidated damages.
Hearing this news, Fang Yang and the others couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
They knew very well how important free creation was in the manga circle.
Fang Yang decided to tell Liu Yiyi and Li Zhou about this.
When they told Liu Yiyi about the content of the exposure, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a heavy expression: "This kind of operation is too much! It is completely depriving manga artists of their freedom! I cannot tolerate such behavior."
Li Zhou also felt indignant about this: "This is not only unfair treatment of artists but also a destruction of the entire industry. We cannot sit idly by."
They knew that such news must be exposed so that more people could understand the plight faced by manga artists at the Penguin Manga company.
Therefore, Fang Yang posted this information on social media, accompanied by the manga works they had just completed.
Soon, the news about the Kaka Manga company spread across the internet.
Many netizens began to express their anger at the practices of the Penguin Manga company.
They complained that the way these companies treated manga artists was unfair treatment of creators.
More manga artists also stood up to expose that similar problems existed in their own companies.
The entire industry fell into turmoil.
On major social media platforms, topics about protecting the rights and interests of manga artists quickly hit the trending list.
People reposted the information released by Fang Yang one after another, hoping to attract more attention.
For a time, there was a chorus of condemnation on the internet.
Netizens criticized Penguin Manga and other companies with fierce words for depriving manga artists of their right to free creation.
Someone wrote angrily: "Artists have put in hard work and unique creativity, but they are being ruthlessly exploited by these companies!"
Others said: "As readers, we must support those manga artists who bravely stand up to expose unfair treatment!"
In this wave of condemnation, more and more victims stood up to share their experiences of encountering similar problems in other companies.
They thanked Fang Yang and the others for the exposure, believing that this was an opportunity for change.
Liu Yiyi looked at the computer screen, which was full of comments and messages, and she sighed: "So many people are concerned about the rights and interests of manga artists; we are not fighting alone."
Fang Yang walked over from the side, looked at the news he had released spreading wildly on the internet, and smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning."
Li Zhou walked to the window and looked into the distance.
He saw dark clouds drifting in the sky, hinting at the coming storm. He turned around and said to Fang Yang and Liu Yiyi: "We must do something."
Liu Yiyi looked up at Li Zhou and said firmly: "We cannot stand idly by. This incident has already attracted enough attention; we should take this opportunity to show more people the facts of unfair treatment by Penguin Manga and other companies."
Fang Yang nodded: "Indeed. We can continue to spread this matter through interviewing victims, publishing articles, making videos, and so on."
The three of them held each other's hands in a tacit understanding. They knew that with the support of numerous netizens, they were no longer alone. ===== CHAPTER 743 =====
