"My hands are so sore."
"Mine too."
"We really need to exercise regularly."
"Yeah, yeah."
Waking up.
Their only sensation was soreness—it seed a bit regrettable to have tried so many activities at once the day before. Judging by this, it’ll probably take a day or two to recover. "Let’s go, have breakfast first."
"Okay."
They tidied up a bit.
Headed downstairs.
Didn’t take the elevator.
Their floor wasn’t low, and at this ti, the elevator almost stopped at every floor.
Unlike the dark and narrow stairwell,
it was six ters wide,
brightly lit.
Luxuriously decorated, very nice.
Downstairs.
There were already groups of three or five people heading toward the cafeteria. The dormitory had no kitchen, and even if they had stored food, it wasn’t as good as eating at the cafeteria. Almost all the breakfast options available in Huaxia could be found there.
Bread.
Fried eggs.
Milk.
The two had a self-service breakfast.
Primarily not greasy.
"This bread is so delicious, both fluffy and sweet," Xiao Ru said joyfully while eating. Although called bread, it wasn’t the sliced kind; it was more like what you’d find in a pastry shop outside. Hardly anyone took the sliced ones.
Besides,
the egg yolks on the fried eggs had smiley faces on them.
Just seeing it made them feel happy.
"In the industry, probably only Ali’s and Penguin’s cafeterias can compare," Xiao Ru comnted.
"Definitely," Lu Fu nodded.
"At first, I thought I’d be living a life of renting, commuting via tro and buses. I didn’t expect my first job to be this good." Looking around, Xiao Ru couldn’t help but sigh.
It was much better than imagined.
In terms of conditions,
this was definitely top-notch in Huaxia.
"Then work hard; the competition in the Group isn’t small," Lu Fu smiled and said.
"Mm,"
Xiao Ru nodded firmly.
After breakfast.
They returned to the dormitory.
The two started putting on makeup.
The company required light makeup. Their skin was nice enough and didn’t need much enhancent. Even barefaced, they’d do fine, but who doesn’t want to look a bit nicer? Knowing how to present yourself is also a basic skill for professionals.
Changed into professional attire.
Checked the ti.
Half an hour until work started.
"Let’s head out."
"Mm."
If they really cut it close, the impression wouldn’t be good.
Downstairs.
"Good luck."
"Good luck."
The two went their separate ways towards their respective company buildings.
Swiped their cards.
Facial recognition.
Xiao Ru arrived at the eleventh floor of Cot Video. After rotating through internships, she was assigned to the third-party video audit section. Her daily task was to review whether third-party video providers were violating rules and whether their content was valuable.
Initially,
Cot Video had introduced multiple video channels:
teams,
companies,
individuals.
All could serve as content providers for Cot Video. The quality of content uploaded varied: so were repetitive, low-quality, or even violated rules. The first two issues were manageable as long as there was no infringent.
If there was a violation,
the content would have to be taken down.
Simultaneously,
they were also tasked with uncovering outstanding original works.
After cross-review,
if deed acceptable,
the provider would be contacted to sign a contract to beco the group’s original content provider, enjoying the group’s channel recomndations and a higher advertisent share than regular videos, along with other benefits.
In this way,
content providers were greatly stimulated, leading Cot Video to accumulate more and more excellent works. As a result, the increasing allure for users put the second-ranking competitor in the industry at a disadvantage.
With money,
benefits,
and platform support,
Cot Group had done it to the extre.
Unless large capital enters, spending tens of billions, otherwise, it’s unlikely to compete against the current Cot Video. This amount isn’t for third-party content alone; half is for copyrights, the other half for film and TV productions.
Cot Literature,
has always deliberately aid to develop small IPs:
restricting content,
to allow free exploration:
history,
military,
immortal martial arts,
science fiction,
suspense.
Almost all categories were being invested in by the Group.
They’re accumulating an increasingly larger self-owned copyright library—chasing series is still a hot topic. Watching six more episodes with mbership encourages a surge in paid mberships.
At this mont.
No one was in the office.
"... ..."
Xiao Ru felt a little uneasy. Did she really arrive too early?
Never mind.
Let’s get to work first.
As for cleaning?
The cleaning staff had already done it. The floors generally wouldn’t get dirty either. For the office environnt, company employees all naturally maintained it. What each employee needed to do was keep their workstation quiet.
Speaking of the workstation,
Xiao Ru couldn’t help but feel happy.
It was really big.
Stretching out her arms to both sides, she could just barely touch the hardwood barriers.
The office space was super large.
Sitting there, it felt like she had her own boss desk right in front of her, with a high-spec computer, charging socket, file shelf, and a small cabinet for personal items at her feet, with drawers on both sides.
Front and back weren’t crowded either.
This setup,
even Ali and Penguin couldn’t compare.
Right now,
Xiao Ru felt like she had reached the peak of life; everything she saw was pleasant. Due to the distance, chit-chatting, and gossiping left and right or forward and backward was almost impossible, but she was here to work.
Not to chit-chat.
"Xiao Ru, morning."
Suddenly.
A voice ca from behind.
Turning around to look,
it was her supervisor, the leader of the Audit Group, a woman not yet thirty.
"Morning, Team Leader Liu."
Xiao Ru stood up.
"Next ti, ten minutes early is fine; adequate sleep is a must," the team leader said with a smile. Aside from work, their secondary task as leaders was ensuring employee health.
They were in content services.
There were often late-night shifts, so as long as they weren’t late in the morning, it was okay.
"Okay,"
Xiao Ru quickly nodded.
Here, it was the sa as in other departnts.
There were performance trics.
The number of reviews linked to wages, and discovering an outstanding video original content creator also ca with bonuses. Therefore, with overti wages paired with performance stimulus, and living nearby, many volunteered for overti work.
After all, there wasn’t much to do at ho.
Saving transportation ti,
working ten hours a day,
two hours for als,
two hours for exercise and leisure,
two hours for learning,
and still eight hours for sleep.
That’s great.
....
Xiao Ru saw her supervisor enter her office, sit down, turn on the computer, log into her work backend, and start reviewing, knowing that advertisent share led many to upload others’ videos.
In this regard,
the Group did not support it.
Imitation was fine,
plagiarism wasn’t.
The sa video segnt, processed into different content, was called imitation. In theory, it could still earn a slightly higher advertisent share, but if it was a complete copy, there were no benefits.
Uploading was allowed,
but there would be no earnings.
Opening the first video, it was about funny pet antics, with background music and funny narration—quite good. Unfortunately, Xiao Ru shook her head; this piece was directly copied.
She hadn’t seen it before.
However,
the Group had a matching software,
utilizing a powerful Data Center to compare video fras one by one. If there was any overlap, it would alert them, but currently, it could only compare video images, unable to identify refined edits.
Therefore,
they needed manual review.
After checking the videos matched by the Data Center before, during, and after, it was word-for-word.
Opened the notification.
Sent a short ssage to the uploader’s backend, the ssage was simple: the video failed the original audit, and there were no advertisent benefits. Lastly, it also offered a word of encouragent to keep trying.
Of course,
Xiao Ru wasn’t foolishly typing it out.
There were buttons.
With a click, it was sent automatically.
