Zhang Yameng works for an Internet company in Huhai as the chief content moderation officer.

Their company operates a recently popular social product for strangers, "Soul Mate".

Zhang Yameng, who has just turned twenty-seven, has a content screening team of nearly 200 people.

Her main job is to lead the team to manually screen all videos, audios, texts, pictures and other content sent by users in the "Soul Mate" app.

The system's intelligent algorithm will screen out some obvious harassment and pornography-related information, but there are always some clever users who have a way to bypass the programmed automatic interception system.

Lin Jie, Zhang Yameng's immediate boss and company boss, described the work of Zhang Yameng's team as follows:

"It is precisely because of the hard work of your group of content moderation engineers that our social software can grasp the pain points of users and fight their way out of the red ocean.

You have maintained this pure land, like a guardian spirit, guarding our users from harassment. ”

…………

Zhang Yameng has always felt that although the chicken soup poured by the boss is a bit unscrupulous, the three words patron saint are really cool.

Zhang Yameng and her team privately have another name for this "content moderation engineer": "Internet pornography appreciator".

Their work is more complicated than that of pornography, in addition to facing some very large-scale pornographic videos, voices, and pictures, they also need to screen out those provocative text content.

Doing this kind of work all year round can easily make people distorted.

Zhang Yameng's team is very mobile, and it has been more than four years since she joined the company as a co-founder after she just graduated and gradually became popular.

Her colleagues who work with her have changed wave after wave, and she has gradually changed from a girl who likes to wear a fisherman's hat, white T-shirt, jeans, and canvas shoes to a charming office gold-collared girl with exquisite makeup, wavy black hair, and a valuable elegant dress with a big-name designer style.

In the eyes of her colleagues and subordinates, she is always at ease in the face of various situations at work.

With the increasing scale of users and the increasing intensity of work, Zhang Yameng can always come up with a way to successfully solve all kinds of thorny problems that others can't solve.

…………

But in fact, Zhang Yameng knew that she was just good at hiding her emotions.

She knows this very well in her heart, as the leader of the team, if she shows her cowardly side in the face of difficulties, it will only increase the negative emotions of the team and will not help solve the problem in the slightest.

So she would rather go home and cry secretly under the quilt herself, and she must show a radiant image in front of everyone.

…………

Today is Saturday, and among the Internet companies that generally implement the 996 policy, the company she works for is undoubtedly more warm, and she can go home from work at five o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday.

Today's Zhang Yameng still looks delicate and elegant in the eyes of her colleagues in the company, but she is actually a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Today, two more employees who have been with her for almost three years have submitted their resignation reports, both of whom are girls she is very optimistic about.

"It's good to leave, get rid of it as soon as possible, and you won't have to face some unsightly pictures of human organs all day long, and you won't have to subconsciously frown and want to operate the mouse to block the user who sent that text because of occupational diseases when you see a text with "hard", "itchy", and "wet". ”

Zhang Yameng could only comfort herself like this.

…………

When she got home, she cooked herself two hometown dishes, had a nice candlelit dinner with half a glass of red wine, then took a bath and put on a mask on herself - these are her unique secrets to dispel negative energy.

Of course, there are two more cheats: brushing whispers and chasing variety shows.

Last Saturday, she discovered a new treasure - the new concept variety show "Star Silk Road", which is known as operating with Internet thinking.

Originally, Zhang Yameng paid attention to this show because there was a singer Wang Yunxi she admired in the guest list of female artists.

After watching the first issue, although Yan Qing bowed three times in the Queqiao passage and took away Wang Yunxi by mistake, she was also a fan of this show.

She also paid attention to Wang Yunxi's new whisper yesterday, telling fans that she had won the copyright authorization for the cover of "Liqiu" sung by Yan Qing in the show, and there will be this song in the album released next month.

Zhang Yameng is quite looking forward to hearing Wang Yunxi's "Liqiu".

…………

Finally waited until eight o'clock, and the second episode of the "Star Silk Road" program began to broadcast live.

Zhang Yameng ripped off the mask of time, held the red wine glass, and seriously chased this episode.

…………

After the host Yang Guang finished talking about his daily meals, he said to the camera:

"The four male artists who took the stage today are going to come on, if each episode of the show can become a pair of partners, then the team partner link of the first season will have to be broadcast for five episodes to make up five sub-columns.

However, there is still good news today, hidden in the final easter egg link, everyone remember to stay tuned. ”

Yang Guang's words seem to have inspired the male guests who appeared in this issue, and the final result was much better than the first issue.

The performances prepared by the four male artists on stage in the "Waves and Sands" section are all wonderful.

Although Chen Pohao, the first new top traffic star to appear, and Qin Chen, the third young pianist, to appear on the stage, because the business plan prepared was not recognized by any female artist, they finally regretted being out.

But Yue Che, the second well-known Chinese comedian who appeared on the stage, won Yu Zhiwei's favor with a business plan for a Tucao type talk show theater, and the two successfully partnered from the Queqiao Channel after a wonderful and sharp complaining to each other.

Even Zhang Yameng, who is used to wearing a calm and calm mask, was amused by the funny performance of the two and made her giggle alone on the sofa.

Jiang Jiao, the fourth Chinese hip-hop king to appear, won the championship single "Will Enter the Wine" in his "Waves and Sands" link with a song that dropped to the top of the golden song list at the end of July, which detonated the enthusiasm of the audience.

He brought a hip-hop music restaurant and bar program management plan, the highlight of the plan is that Jiang Jin designed a battle ring in the restaurant, and the amateurs who come to the restaurant can challenge Jiang Jin and the hip-hop musicians he invited to be flying guests by going to the ring.

If the performance in the ring receives cheers from other audience members, and the noise decibel detector reaches or exceeds 90 decibels, the amateur can get free treatment.

Because this business plan has a good stalk, Jiang Jin easily gained the appreciation of two female guests, the Chinese punk diva singer Fu Ruoli and the supermodel Guo Yan.

In the end, Yang Guang announced that Jiang Jian was the one who was silently selected by Jiang Yao in the "Poppy Beauty" link, and the two successfully partnered in advance.

After the four male artists appeared, the time also ran out at 9:45 p.m., and the second issue of "Star Silk Road" came to an end.

Yang Guang repeatedly mentioned the easter egg link in this episode of the show, and finally began to play.

Zhang Yameng, like thousands of other viewers, was whetted by Yang Guang, and they all focused on staring at the video released:

The scene at the beginning of the video is an empty shot, a walled courtyard with a small two-story building in the courtyard.

Here's a subtitle note later on:

…………

Time: 9:57 a.m., August 14, 2019

Location: Jacquard lattice alley in the western city of the imperial capital.

…………

Zhang Yameng saw two red electric motorcycles of the same style appear on the TV screen, and the two electric vehicles drove into the yard unhurriedly.

The camera also cuts to a clear close-up of the person on the electric car behind him:

A man wearing a black pullover beanie, a white printed tee, a black leather bomber jacket, and off-white wide-leg sweatpants.

The man in the close-up of the camera is calm, with a somewhat emaciated face and clear and deep eyes.

Zhang Yameng recognized it at a glance, this man was Yan Qing who appeared in the last issue.

The lens is everything again, and it has been changed to a long shot:

Next to a nanny car that had just stopped, a woman who was also wearing a hat got out of the car.

The camera slowly pans over a tall woman wearing a long trench coat that covers her knees, a light-colored base layer tucked into cropped pencil pants under a gray trench coat, and a miniature Pochette Métis messenger bag with her hands in her coat pockets.

The camera moved up, revealing the woman's cold and elegant face, with a slight sense of cold alienation.

Zhang Yameng, who was vaguely frozen, suddenly reacted:

"This is Weng Huaijing. Has their show started recording, such a fast speed, it is worthy of a variety show with the spirit of the Internet. ”

The camera followed Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing to visit the upper and lower floors of the small building, and Liu Mingren told the two of them about the construction plan of the small building outside the picture and the subtitles added in the later stage, so that the audience could understand that this is the location of the business project of Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing, and the construction and renovation have begun.

The camera recreates to the audience the anxious images of the preparation team as they came up with the name of the show.

In the later stage, the names that appeared on the screen one by one, and then crossed them one by one, and soon the screen was almost full, and finally the camera was fixed on Miao Miao and Weng Huaijing, who were fighting each other.

The subtitles added in the later stage are described as follows:

Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing, the two partners, had a huge conflict on the first day of the show's preparation and planning meeting......

Suddenly, as soon as the picture turned black, a magnetic and gentle voice came from Zhang Yameng's TV speaker:

"Then take a break for a while and sing a song "Talent Co., Ltd." to everyone."

During the time of the black screen, Zhang Yameng also heard a small melodic and tactful whistle, a guitar melody and two African tambourine sounds

At this time, the screen lit up again:

The scorching scene of the fierce conflict was gone, and a large group of people surrounded Yan Qing, who was holding a slightly small guitar with a rounded waistline.

Yan Qing opened his mouth softly, and sang a song that Zhang Yameng had never heard along with his accompaniment.

"We come from Talent Ltd

Be punctual in and out of work every day

The boss promised a raise and promotion at the end of the year

A couple of colleagues left again."

…………

Naturally, Zhang Yameng remembered the two girls who had resigned during the day today, who had been working with her for almost three years and had always worked hard, and her eyes turned red as soon as she brushed them.

…………

"Perhaps, think too much, whose ideals have not been grandiose and ambitious

Reality, it's not complicated, convince you to bow your head and stop being stupid

Admit it, I'm stupid enough to squander my small life

Wait until the youth is gone, and then say how good it would be if the nonsense at that time was fulfilled."

…………

When Zhang Yameng heard this paragraph, she couldn't help but think of the passage she saw in her resignation report today:

…………

"Lao Zhang, at the beginning, the boss said that our job is to be a guardian spirit, to maintain the last pure land of soul mates.

So even in the face of ugly and unbearable pornographic content, I can convince myself that there is a sense of sacred mission that makes me feel that my sacrifice is worth it.

Until recently, as the software became more and more popular, the boss gradually forgot what he said at the time, and some of the provocative text content was put away.

I don't think that's right, and if we do, how can we keep this place clean.

I couldn't get past that hurdle in my own heart, so I chose to resign. ”

…………

In Yan Qing's singing, it evoked many memories of Zhang Yameng hidden in his heart

She remembered the self who didn't swear, didn't smoke, and occasionally blushed when she heard yellow jokes.

I remembered the self who was plain on weekdays, liked to wear a fisherman's hat, a white T-shirt, jeans, and canvas shoes.

I also remembered my original intention of joining the company at that time:

"I'm Zhang Yameng, it's cool enough to do this kind of work."

…………

When Yan Qing finished singing, the letters on the easter egg video were added with subtitles and special effects for sprinkling flowers, and the name of Yan Qing & Weng Huaijing's business project was officially determined: "Talent Co., Ltd."

After the name of the show was decided, the end of the easter egg also released the scene where everyone watched Yan Qing's mobile phone.

Zhang Yameng suddenly felt that the man on the TV who was watched by everyone, still with an embarrassed but polite smile on his face, had an indescribable temperament.

Easter eggs of easter eggs, the program team broadcast the interview content of the small black house of the three behind-the-scenes staff who couldn't stop crying after listening.

Hearing these young people, who are also social animals, talk about their dreams and the pressure they have put on their current lives, the real sense of resonance is transmitted to the hearts of Zhang Yameng and thousands of viewers in front of the TV and in front of the whispering video.

The second episode of the Star Silk Road program was finally fixed and officially finished a few seconds after adding two sets of subtitles to the empty screen, Zhang Yameng saw these two sets of subtitles in tears, and he wrote:

"Yan Qingweng Huaijing's partnership "Talent Co., Ltd." official whispering blue V account has been officially launched on the whispering platform, welcome everyone to submit their cherished feelings or stories to the blue V account in the form of private messages."

"The official studio digital version of Yan Qing's "Talent Co., Ltd." has been officially launched exclusively on the whispering music platform from now on."

Zhang Yameng immediately picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table, followed the account of "Talent Co., Ltd.", and then clicked on the whispering music channel, and found the song hanging on the homepage of the software, clicked, paid, downloaded, and played.

Zhang Yameng played the song in an infinite loop with hazy tears.

She didn't know how many times she had heard Yan Qing sing this sentence:

"Realistic

It's not complicated

It is better to play the icing on the cake of whom

Admit it."

…………

"No, I don't admit it."

Zhang Yameng muttered and picked up her mobile phone and sent a message to the two girls who were about to resign:

"Soulmate has changed its taste, but it has also become red. But the icing on the cake is too low, Lao Zhang's life can't be so uncool. ”

After Zhang Yameng finished sending the message, she threw her phone away from the distance, and she smiled innocently without makeup.

PS: Humble to make a birthday wish, I hope the book grades are better.
