Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 75 Li Tiantian's Promotion
Beijing North, Xinglang Headquarters.

In the tea room, two people who happened to be there making coffee and slacking off started chatting.

"Tina, I heard you passed your internship early? And a press release made the front page? Congratulations!"

A young girl with a slender waist looked surprised.

Li Tiantian smiled wryly: "It's not that long in advance, and there's still a probation period afterwards. Guanguan must be sad."

I don’t know her Chinese name, but her English name is Monica. Of course, there are at least seven or eight people named Monica in this building.

This is the company culture, and nowadays most emerging companies require employees to address each other by their English names, and some companies even have regulations that "there will be fines for speaking Chinese names."

The two were interns at the same time, one graduated from a domestic 985 university, and the other returned from studying abroad. Relatively speaking, the other has more advantages, after all, the other has "been in line with international standards" and has broadened his horizons.

"But I heard that you didn't go to the news section? You went to the blog section instead?"

Li Tiantian's smile became more and more stiff: "It's arranged by the company, and it's just a rotation."

The invisible and boring short confrontation ended, and Li Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief
She was a little bit unable to accept that she was promoted to a regular position based on an article on the front page of a portal, but was sent to other departments.

As one of the largest Internet companies today, the news section is the core of the entire Xinglang. In comparison, the blog, which is more social in nature, is much weaker.

Female reporters also have far more halo than "female employees". Wherever they go, they are the "fourth public authority". Once the microphone is pushed forward, even the Buddha will shut up.

There is almost no difference between top journalists and celebrities, such as the now famous "Chai Jing".

Money, fame, nationality. Whatever you want.

Of course, all these have become very distant to Li Tiantian now.

Back at her office, Li Tiantian was bored and flipping through the homepage of the "blog". She was neither interested in nor familiar with it, and it was almost blank.

Although she interviewed the high school student at the time, she would not follow anyone. She only heard from others later that the winning blog of the micro-fiction competition was very popular.

The most conspicuous position on the homepage is a series of "selected blogs", one of which is clearly written "Bed Explorer", which caught Li Tiantian's attention.

I clicked on it and saw a simple sentence: "The last stroke of life is also the first stroke of death."

The picture shows a strange playing card and a blue pen.

Oh. I really don’t understand it. How can something like this have more than 50,000 views?

What the hell is this chicken neck thing?
"Tina, the meeting is about to start."

Li Tiantian looked up blankly: "Ah? Me?"

"We need meeting minutes, so bring your laptop."

Well, it turns out to be a chores
In the huge conference room, dozens of people from the blog section sat together, including even higher-level bosses. The entire meeting revolved around the issue of "slow growth and difficulty in profitability in the blog section." Li Tiantian didn't understand most of what she heard, but she didn't need to understand.

She just kept typing away at the keyboard until it started smoking.

After four hours, a certain boss said: "In general, blogs are too professional and too weak in social attributes... We should increase the proportion of travel notes and celebrity content."

1000 words are omitted from Balabala the Fairies.

"Now let's brainstorm. Everyone should speak up, starting from the back of the circle."

Li Tiantian looked up blankly, her eyes dull, and she looked like a classmate.
After a four-hour meeting, even the fairies had boils from covering their skin. In fact, Li Tiantian felt that her buttocks were all covered in sweat.

"Uh, should I say that too? I'm the meeting minutes taker, first day on the job."

"It's okay, I just want to hear some opinions from different perspectives."

“I think blogs take too long to read. A blog post can easily have hundreds or even thousands of words, which increases the reading threshold.”

The unknown boss interrupted, "I've already said that."

Li Tiantian paused: "Then maybe we can invite some celebrities to join the blog"

“I said that too.”

The boss felt a little speechless, but it seemed there was no need to scold her on her first day at work, so he planned to ignore Li Tiantian.

Li Tiantian was so anxious that she was about to get angry.

Dead mouth! Open up! "Well, I want to show you a blogger's content, maybe it can provide some reference opinions."

Li Tiantian directly called out the IE browser that was opened four hours ago from the taskbar and placed it in front of the big boss.

"You see, this blogger never posts more than 100 words each time, but they are all very emotionally valuable and well-written, and each post has a very high number of views. I think this is a trend."

Li Tiantian's mind was racing, her speech was getting smoother, and she gradually found her groove:
"Nowadays, the pace of life is fast and the cyberspace is gradually becoming fragmented. If it were me, I would rather receive interesting information in a few seconds, rather than summarizing it from hundreds or thousands of words of pictures and texts."

"In addition, essay-style content can also lower the threshold for publishers. One of the main reasons for the slow growth of blog users is that both publishers and readers need to have a certain level of skills. Only a small number of people can patiently read thousands of words."

"As long as the threshold is low and there are more publishers, it can even generate certain social attributes. For example, I can just post something like: I had a four-hour meeting today. I'm so tired..."

At this time, someone retorted: "What's the point of this kind of thing? You won't remember it even if you see it."

Li Tiantian said with great pleasure: "But in the eyes of advertisers, exposure is the most important... not the quality of the blog content itself. Companies pursue users rather than content."

The boss' eyes lit up, and he looked at her work badge with a smile on his face. "Tina, that's a good idea. Come to my office after the meeting and we can continue to communicate."

Li Tiantian sat back in the meeting minutes seat, feeling her heart pounding.
After I calmed down, I whispered to my colleague next to me: "It's my first day at work. Who is that?"

The colleague next to him was surprised and asked, "Don't you know Boss Cao?"

Li Tiantian asked in confusion: "Isn't the boss of the blog section surnamed Wang?"

"Boss Cao is the boss of the entire Xinglang"

Li Tiantian was stunned and realized keenly how great an opportunity this was.

"Bed Explorer"! You are really my lucky star!

She immediately took out all the contents of "Bed Explorer" and began to prepare the content for her private report later, while she begged another colleague to take care of the meeting minutes.

The meeting continued, and several different topics were discussed. Cao concluded:
"We still need to make new attempts, but we cannot stop the 'Blog Star Project' and invite public figures to blog."

Thinking of the content he had just read, he added:
"And that thing. The Bed Borer."

A subordinate at the side reminded: "Bed Explorer"

"We will also include him in the blog star program and provide him with some support."

He wanted to do an experiment and try it out.

"Tina, come to my office, everyone else, dismiss."

------

At the same time, Zhai Da, who was thousands of miles away, did not know that he was about to receive official support from Xinglang. Of course, even if he knew, he would not change his plan.

He doesn't want to be famous, he just wants to make money.

Today is the third day after the subject level test, which is also Sunday.

Yu Xiaoli took Lu Wei out early in the morning, saying that she wanted to buy some clothes for Lu Wei. Zhai Da had no interest in shopping, so he chose to have some free time.

After counting the unfinished matters at hand, Zhai Da checked on his mobile phone, then took a taxi and went to Tiantai Road.

There is nothing special here, except for the only boxing gym in Dongyang County.

"Viking Fighting"

The name sounds grand, but in reality it is just an old and shabby store in an old and shabby commercial street. The sign is simply replaced by colorful spray-painted cloth, which looks both rustic and foreign.

He didn't know what was going on inside and had never been there in his two lifetimes.

Zhai Da is going to ask if there are any trial classes to try and see if he can make progress on the unlocking task of [Nerd Glasses Cloth].

It's just for the purpose of completing the unblocking task. As for practicing boxing seriously, that's impossible and I don't have the time.

Don't try to trick him into charging his card.

Zhai Da looked around for a while and walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Fan Junwei being beaten violently.

　What? Is this for me?
　　Thank you, brother/Zi Tu~
