Chapter 3 Language Modules
Through a timely and predictive Weibo message, the 'Personality Publicity' Weibo account attracted more than 300 followers.
"This is the Three Hundred Spartan Warriors!"
"This is the beginning, and there will definitely be more and more in the future!"
A sense of accomplishment welled up in Zhang Yang's heart.
Then he made persistent efforts, and in the remaining time, he made four predictive timely updates in a row--
'Chelsea stormed Tottenham and won three corners in a row, but unfortunately the player who took the corner seemed to be in poor form, playing both goals off the standard and failing to help his team-mates get a chance.
'The Chelsea striker had a dangerous shot from outside the box, but the Tottenham goalkeeper did well to save the ball.
"It's time for Tottenham to launch a counter-attack! They played around Chelsea's half-time for three minutes but were given just one shot against the Blues' tight defence. ”
"Tottenham launched the final comeback! They look for opportunities in desperate situations, but in the face of an impregnable defense, they can only accept the bitter consequences of defeat...... In the end, Chelsea beat Tottenham 2-1! ”
As soon as the Weibo news was issued, many fans immediately watched.
These 'Spartan Warriors' are not pure fans, they just have some curious attention, not to pay attention to the dynamics, some want to find an opportunity to sarcastically vent the anger of the Chelsea goal, and some want to see the next prediction to see if it will be accurate.
At the time of each message, there were still many rebuttals.
But after a long time, there was no refutation. What was said in the Weibo message has been realized in the game.
So the only thing left was all kinds of worship.
It's a pity that because there is no news about the goal, the number of new followers attracted by the next four Weibo messages has decreased, but attracted by the first Weibo, there are still many follow-up fans.
By the time the match between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur was over, the number of followers on the 'Personality Profile' Weibo account had exceeded 1,000.
The new fans not only pay attention to Weibo, but also comment on the previous news by the way, and the first one has the most comments, with nearly 400 comments.
"Blogger Godman!"
"Bloggers are gods, right? Or...... It's the referee's family! ”
"Even this can be predicted in advance? Is it that the blogger knows the score before the game starts! ”
"You can know about penalties? This guy can't be from the referee team, deliberately giving Chelsea a penalty. ”
"Who the hell is a blogger sacred!"
“……”
The next four Weibo messages also have hundreds of comments, but because there is nothing exciting, fans just say it simply--
"It seems that the blogger has a good analysis of the game!"
"That's all right! 100 points! ”
"The blogger is definitely a huge fan! The analysis is so in place, I feel that I don't need to watch the game when I look at the blogger's Weibo. ”
"That's what you call knowing the ball!"
"Meng, huh? It's too fake! It's hype, right? ”
“……”
The variety of comments is dazzling, but the flamboyant but enjoyable to watch, he has made some achievements in his previous life, but his busy life has caused some disconnection from the online world, and it is the first time that he has attracted so much attention.
It's another sense of accomplishment.
After dinner that day, Zhang Yang slept for the first time since crossing with a smile and had a dream that seemed to be very beautiful.
In the dream, he was standing at the highest point of a luxurious football field.
All eyes are on you!
On the football field at your feet, a game is being played, and there are countless fans at the scene, and few are watching the game seriously.
They all looked up in a posture of looking up.
At one point, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly raised his arms vigorously and made a triumphant 'V' gesture.
That's a goal!
All the fans shouted in unison, the scoreboard rewrote the numbers in advance, and in the sea of sounds, it took a while for the game to score.
In this game, he is the only one who is the real protagonist.
————
The weather in London in November is a little bit wet and cold.
Early morning.
Wearing a suit and tie, low-angle cowhide shoes, and carrying a briefcase, he boarded the 714 bus.
London is congested with traffic in the morning, and the streets are extremely busy, only three kilometers of road, with four stops in between, and it takes more than 20 minutes.
In the crowd, Zhang Yang did not appear uncomfortable.
There are too many similar situations in the previous life, and it is not unheard of for the hard seat of the train to be crowded and lying flat, and squeezing the bus is nothing at all.
After getting off the bus stop, I walked for a short time before I came to a 30-story building.
Zhang Yang came to the thirteenth floor and found the front desk, explaining that he was on his first day at work and was taken to a small office.
That's Brand's office.
Brand is one of the most powerful figures in the BBC Television's sports division, where he oversees the sports news writing section.
After yesterday's interview, Zhang Yang was assigned to work under Brand.
Brand is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a slightly fat figure, a bald head that looks like a Mediterranean painting, and soft hair on both sides is also very thin.
Brad was reading the newspaper at the moment, his rather laid-back leg resting on the corner of the table.
"Why are you here so late?" Brad frowned slightly when he saw Zhang Yang, "You are your first day of work, remember, this is London, not lazy China, don't bring the bad habits of your hometown here!" ”
Zhang Yang pursed the corners of his mouth and looked down at the time, "Didn't you go to work at half past eight?" I was twenty minutes early. ”
"Then why am I here?" Brand asked sharply, he put down his leg on the corner of the table, and his eyes became serious, "We are the media, the media is different from other jobs, some people even have to work twenty-four hours. You're just starting to work, and I don't ask you to do that, but at least an hour earlier every day, get it? ”
Zhang Yang pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded.
If he didn't know why, he really thought that Brand was just asking for strictness, but when he walked out of the office and saw an empty seat, he knew that Brand was completely aimed at himself.
Zhang Yang walked to his place, but found that nothing happened.
I didn't even have a computer on my desk.
The memory in my mind shows that when I reported after the interview yesterday, there was a computer here, and I was doing media work, even if I was a text news editor, it was impossible to do without a computer, and there was no way to work at all.
"Are you new here?"
A nice female voice came from behind him, Zhang Yang turned his head and saw a long-haired beauty, the beauty smiled at him, and took the initiative to stretch out her hand, "My surname is Evans, you can call me Frida." ”
"Publicity."
The two of them touched their hands.
"Zhang? What a strange pronunciation. Frieda laughed, "You're new here, aren't you?" I heard that a new guy came in yesterday, but my colleagues all said ......" Speaking of which, Frida glanced at Brand's office before whispering, "Brand doesn't like you, you have to be careful, don't get caught by him, but it's normal, he doesn't like Asians, South Americans, or even Eastern Europeans." ”
"Why?"
Frida pursed the corners of her lips, glanced at the office, and leaned closer, "He is a leftist, and thinks that people from other regions have robbed the jobs of English people and disrupted the normal order of Britain." It's unthinkable to hear that he supports Brexit! He works in the media industry, how can he support Brexit, and the UK has been in the EU for so many years, it is impossible to leave again, he is dreaming! ”
Zhang Yang shook his head.
It is estimated that Frida would not have thought that the UK would really succeed in Brexit in the future.
It has nothing to do with me.
Where is Brand going to catch him, the other party has already begun to target, and yesterday he handed over himself a Weibo target of 30,000 followers.
Zhang Yang opened his mouth and asked, "On the first day I came to work, didn't I even have a computer?" Is this the kind of treatment for internships? ”
"Won't it?" Frida wondered, "I don't know, but there must be office computers, and you should probably ask Brand." ”
"Frida, it's so early!"
There was a shout from the door, and a man in his early thirties with a mustache walked over, he looked at Zhang Yang and said, "You're the new here?" ”
Before Zhang Yang could speak, Frida asked, "Gavin, where did the computers go here?" ”
"Walked away like Brand."
"Why?"
"He said it wouldn't be useful for a while, so he packed it up and put it in the warehouse." Gail laughed, "I guess he targeted you on purpose, Asian kid." ”
"Don't give me a computer?" Zhang Yang was a little puzzled, "Then I can't work, don't you need me to work?" ”
Gavin said, "I don't know. ”
Gavin pulled Frida down and whispered to the side, "Don't talk to him too much, you don't want to be targeted by Brand." ”
Frida was a little resentful, but sat back in her seat.
When Zhang Yang heard Gavin's words, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, and he simply went back to the office to find Brand.
Brand didn't even look up, "You're asking about the computer?" You don't have a computer. You're not sure it's my employee yet. Unless you can accomplish the goal I have given you and prove your abilities. ”
"So I won't have to work for a week until I complete my goal?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.
Brand finally raised his head, "Work doesn't necessarily require a computer, I'll give you the task." ”
The exchange with Brand was unhappy.
Zhang Yang simply returned to his desk and sat down, he didn't have to do anything, he was just a newcomer, he could feel the pointing around him, some were pure gossip, some were malicious ridicule, but no one paid attention to him at all.
It didn't take long for Zhang Yang to close his eyes and he was about to fall asleep, until a harsh scolding came.
"You should be serious, it's not bedtime!"
Brand stood beside him and put down a document in his hand heavily, "This is your job today, translate it, you can leave early, otherwise you will have to work overtime today." ”
Brand finished speaking and left.
If you don't know, you think it's a special care, and you can get off work after finishing your work, what a good thing.
Zhang Yang closed his eyes and knew that it was difficult.
Those were two reports from the Italian press, most of which were in Italian, and his job was to translate them into English.
But he's not an Italian translator!
What if you have a computer that can use translation software to search and consult the next information, but you don't even have a computer, and you want to translate all the words you don't know into English? Even if he works overtime until the next day, he can't finish a little progress.
He didn't even know how to survive the day.
“MD!”
Just when Zhang Yang was scolding angrily in his heart, a strange voice suddenly came from his ear, "System detection needs an auxiliary module." ”
"Language Module."
"...... in System Analysis"
"Requirements: Language module, Italian module. Loading...... Please ...... later"
Zhang Yang was stunned for a while, and as if he was in a flash, he heard "The language module, the Italian module has been loaded", and then he felt his brain bang.
He almost fainted.
I don't know how much time has passed, it seems to be just a moment, and it seems to be a long time, and my mind finally cleared up.
Zhang Yang came back to his senses and looked at the documents on the table, and he found that every word, every sentence was easy to read.
Immediately he smiled.
