Chapter 3, start to move

During this whole day, Choi Soo-young had a great time.

And with Kim Hyun-kyung and Min Xianyi, these two girls who were a little unfamiliar with each other. One just came to Korea and met him for a while, and although the other often contacted the Internet and telephone, there were very few opportunities for personal contact.

Unlike the tacit understanding and... indulgence when I went shopping with my sisters, the feeling of being close in casual play is indeed very beautiful, but the key is that during that time, long-legged girls often unconsciously take care of everyone's emotions, and sometimes they have to play guest roles as leaders or managers. Now when traveling with these two girls, Choi Soo-young has no worries at all. It can be said that she enjoys the fun of girls shopping. And more importantly, she has taken off the burden of "core" and can occasionally act cute in a relaxed mood, acting as a role to be taken care of by the big sister - of course Min Xianyi -. It feels very novel.

The content of the game is very old-fashioned for fashionable young people in Korea today, but it is interesting enough for two trainees at the school, family, and company, as well as a foreign girl who has just arrived in the country despite being proficient in Korean.

After all, knowing pigs, seeing pigs run, and eating pork are completely different concepts.

TVs and the Internet cannot replace life and encourage each other.

Min Xianyi was very conscious of the entertainment of the holidays. The girls returned to Apgujeong from Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, Itaewon, and then to Apgujeong, and had a one-stop meal, drinking and having fun. This is a very physically exhausting holiday for young and young girls. Just when Choi Sooyoung suggested that he had an intermission in a cafe, the hardworking girl tactfully expressed that she had already had a great time and would go back to the company to train later. For the inability to accompany the next trip, Min Xianyi showed appropriate apology, and also exchanged phone numbers and pigeon ids with Kim Hyun-kyung.

Seeing Min Xianyi simply drank a glass of lemonade, and then left the empty seat after saying goodbye with a determined attitude, the remaining two girls were a little sighed.

"What do you think?" After Min Xianyi left, Kim Hyun-kyung put his elbow on the table, his palms supported his head, and his long hair scattered casually, with a lazy expression, and no longer the ladylike style he had in his usual subconscious mind. The tall girl's empty hand did not continue to be idle, and her slender fingers were drawing circles on the edge of her iced juice drink.

"She is a very pure trainee, and I admire her." Although Kim Hyun-kyung said it very vaguely, the girl with long legs understood what a tall girl wanted to express. The tacit understanding felt like a friend who had been together for a long time. At this time, Choi Soo-young was also acting casually, leaning lazily on the comfortable sofa in the booth, drinking the hot chocolate in her hand in a small sip.

"You mean, we are not pure?" Hearing this answer, Kim Hyun-kyung burst out with a "puke".

"I really don't think it's so pure to be a trainee with blind dates." The girl with long legs curled her lips.

"What about you? Even after experiencing a huge failure, you are still persistently returning here. Miss Choi's second family who continues to struggle, aren't you pure enough?" Playing with friends is certainly not simply shopping to see novelty. It is a very important part to exchange feelings between friends. Because of Kim Hyun-kyung's frankness at the beginning and his natural closeness to Min Xianyi, the long-legged girl also relaxed a lot about her experiences, and naturally told a lot about her past, which naturally included the hard years in Japan.

For Choi Sooyoung, the past history is just some pictures and feelings, but when he spoke it out, Kim Hyun-kyung and Min Xianye, who were listeners, were still very dumbfounded at the time.

It is because of this atmosphere that the distance between the girls' hearts was quickly shortened, and Min Xianyi also revealed a lot of family information. Kim Hyun-kyung even suspected that it was because of this reason that Min Xianyi left early because of the thoughts and then devoted himself to the intense and tense practice life.

"'Miss Choi' said it in your mouth, why do I feel like I'm talking about Choi Ji-won?" the girl with long legs teased.

Choi Ji-won is Choi Siwon's sister.

"If Ji-won is the case, I will call you a little sister directly." Kim Hyun-kyung rolled his eyes and answered generously and sharply, "Don't escape the problem, Choi Soo-young~"

"The career of a trainee is more like a bond to me. It is not as you think, it is the first place in my life." Shaking the cup in my hand, Choi Soo-young said calmly: "There are many important things in my world. From this point of view, I am indeed not that pure."

"So, what is the 'trainee' for you?" The tall girl's hands overlapped in front of her, her eyes shining a little.

"It's fate." The girl with long legs smiled brightly.

Regardless of whether Kim Hyun-kyung understood Choi Soo-young's meaning or not, neither of the girls continued on this topic, but the atmosphere of the next itinerary was undoubtedly more relaxing for both of them.

Although they both believe in "a gentleman's friendship is as light as water", because Min Xianyi was present, Choi Sooyoung hinted from the beginning that her eldest sister's family did not have the title of her, both girls who are very accustomed to taking care of other people's feelings are undoubtedly more restrained in their performances in certain aspects.

Nowadays, in the concentrated luxury goods, known as "fashionable street" and "the latest popular Mecca", two rich and beautiful people who have rested and have indeed felt like a tiger is out of the gate.

Therefore, women cannot control their "shopping".

Especially after you have enough money to control in your hands.

"You should not give me this feeling." Kim Hyun-kyung's performance is more comfortable than before when shopping in a famous brand store that is similar to that of the whole world. However, after watching the long-legged girl take action one after another and keeping her back again without changing her face, Kim Hyun-kyung couldn't help but say unexpectedly: "Especially after knowing that Choi Si-won complained and said that you often use a certain word to mock him."

"A certain word, is the rich second generation? Cui Qianqian still complained to you?" The long-legged girl took out her credit card and asked the clerk to swipe the card, and then said indifferently: "What do you think I should be like? I have money that can be controlled but I have to restrain my preference for material things? The little girl's realm is not that high. I think ** can be controlled, but I can't suppress it, otherwise my life will lose a lot of excitement. What's more, there is someone at home who is not very satisfied with my Christmas gift, and even the resentment of being dissatisfied with the birthday gift was vented together, so I want to make up for it."

"'There is someone at home'? Do you still have a sister?" The tall girl looked at Choi Sooyoung's face with a gentle and even doting expression on her face as she said this, and couldn't help but ask strangely.

"On the contrary, I have an older sister." The girl with long legs shrugged, "But don't think of her as Min Xianyi, although I really hope to have such an older sister..."

After finishing the afternoon's fun trip, Choi Soo-young said goodbye to Kim Hyun-kyung and returned to the Choi family mansion in Cheongdam-dong before dinner with a big bag.

When entering the door, Choi Sooyoung didn't hear anything unusual in Choi's mother's voice, and she was still as gentle and enthusiastic as before. However, when the long-legged girl walked into the living room and watched Sister Choi sitting in the living room and fucking the computer, even if she saw that she was carrying so many famous brands, she didn't scream. Choi Sooyoung realized that something was wrong.

The atmosphere at home... the air is a little stagnant...

The long-legged girl put down the things in her hand and asked Sister Cui, who was sitting still, for inquisitive. Sister Cui curled her lips and shrugged her shoulders, and then pointed to the location of Papa Cui's study upstairs. At this moment, a sound of opening the door came from the upper floor, followed by Papa Cui's phone call.

"I understand, Assistant Guo, please continue to follow up on this matter. If there is any situation, please contact me in time."

Papa Choi's tone sounded calm, but it seemed okay, it shouldn't be so bad.

"Dad, is there something wrong?" Seeing Dad Cui walk downstairs, the girl with long legs took the initiative to meet her.

"There are some problems in melon, but it's not serious, and it's no big deal." Papa Cui comforted his little daughter, turned his head, and asked Sister Cui, "Soo Jin, how about it?"

After hearing what Cui Dad said, the girl with long legs walked behind Sister Cui in a few steps, and only saw Sister Cui browsing the forum of Malon. "The screen has not stopped. I guess someone has used special software, and the administrator has not had time to delete the post." Sister Cui refreshed the page a few times and then said dejectedly.

"'Over there', there was no reaction?" Papa Cui asked with a frown.

That side naturally refers to the current nominal management team of melon, and Pan Guangxi is on the side.

"The administrator topped a post, which was an explanation of the situation of this incident and a condemnation of 'mpt'." Sister Cui clicked on the top red post, "and announced the permanent ban on some accounts."

"Silly." After a simple evaluation, Papa Cui looked relaxed at this time. He walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of wine and poured himself a glass.

"Dad, what's going on? Also, what is 'mpt'?" The girl with long legs found a seat next to her sister and sat down, with even more confusion on her face.

"There was a little trouble in Melon today. Pan Guangxi's attitude towards handling it was very tough. It seems that the guy was too used to being arrogant after he became independent. He still did not understand that he was still doing what he did." Papa Choi took a sip before continuing: "As for the 'mpt' children, they called themselves 'manually_put_top organization', and in the forum they were used to calling them 'mpt party'."

"Manually_put_top? Manually..., top?" The long-legged girl raised her eyebrows.

"They are more used to translating it into artificially," Sister Cui added, her face a little weird.

"It's quite interesting to me to say a bunch of kids. I don't know if Pan Guangxi thought it was offended by him." Papa Choi also walked behind the sisters, looked at the screen and said, "But, I think this is a good opportunity."

In fact, the cause of the matter is very simple. At the beginning, it was just a little bit of bad taste from netizens.

The posts on the melon forum are sorted by the time of the last reply, but what is not known to everyone is that while the time is sorted, the number of replies will also have a certain impact on the sorting. The impact of this hidden condition is very small. For example, the last reply time of two posts is close, but the number of replies is more likely to be ranked in the front of the two posts even if they fall behind in the single digits of the last reply minute.

It was just a simple sorting rule, and the melon's operation team did not think about covering up anything, so this rule was soon discovered by some otaku. There was nothing at all, but when some people replied, they couldn't write any replies with content, so they wrote, "Good post, the poster, I'll help you, don't thank you." This is similar to the unnutritional words, and they will leave with points for the forum.

Posts are not nutritious, but their effects still exist, especially after the quantity accumulates to a certain level, the effect is very obvious. So slowly, this meaningless reply has formed a trend. Some moderators have also tried to manage this situation. After all, when they enter the forum and open the posts in the front row, they see the screen full of "Good posts, poster, help you, don't thank you." Some of them are unethical and even post meaningless huge long pictures by the way. This kind of behavior similar to sensationalism undoubtedly makes ordinary users feel very disappointed when browsing. Some truly meaningful replies are easily "buried". But this is a public forum after all, the rules cannot be too strict, and administrators have permissions and cannot delete posts endlessly on a large scale. Fortunately, this situation is generally easily condemned by public users, so most moderator administrators just let it go.

Until a while ago, a "artificial top-up·mpt·party" suddenly appeared, and this situation completely turned into another smell.

This "artificial top ·mpt·party" was completely spontaneously organized by netizens. Their slogan is "Don't let any excellent post sink to the bottom~!"

The first post that this organization uses artificial means to top the top is that they organize their own set up posts. In this post, the purpose of the organization and some basic requirements for the group members are stated, such as joining a large flock of pigeons with "artificially topped ·mpt · party", each group member must have relevant information about "artificially topped ·pt ·pt ·pc" in their signatures, actively responding to the organization's activities, etc.

After netizens join the "artificial top-up party", they will be assigned to the corresponding group. Any member can submit a good post to the group leader that they think is excellent but are buried. After review by the group leader, they will submit it to the head of the group, and then screen it and submit it to the top 28-person review committee, and finally decide the target of the artificial top-up every week.

Under this pyramid-shaped push mechanism, there is a complete set of "suggested success rate" points model to determine the appointment of group leaders at all levels. As for the top 28-person review committee called "Twenty-Eight Constellations", it has requirements for the excellent posting rate of the committee members. Therefore, such a "artificial top party" with similar game upgrade mechanisms, it quickly began to become popular, and gradually, its influence became increasingly greater.

But this is not good news for the melon operation team led by Pan Guangxi.

As we all know, as long as the operation of a website involves commercial operations, there are countless tricks. Commercial means such as search engine bidding rankings have long become a semi-public secret. The current behavior of "artificial top-up party" can be said to directly infringe on the interests that were originally controlled by the operation team. Therefore, Pan Guangxi's prepared countermeasures were killed from the beginning.

Unexpectedly, it was a sudden thrust that "artificial pinned ·mpt·party", which was originally relatively mild, was blocked and hit, and the counterattack became fierce. It used posting software to flood the screen in various sectors, and later there was even chaos that disrupted the order of the sector. At this time, the melon forum suddenly became sad, and the first crisis since the establishment of melon came.

Nowadays, melon has become the team led by Papa Cui, the core of the e-commerce plan. Countless future plans are planned and carried out based on the influence of the melon website. As soon as this incident happened, Papa Cui received news, but for some "strategic" considerations, Papa Cui did not take action immediately, but decided to wait and see first.

"Dad, the current situation is almost done. Have you decided how to take action?" How could a girl with long legs not know about Mr. Choi Zhengnan's thoughts? This is the first major event after Pan Guangxi took over Melon. Whether or not he performed well directly depends on his future voice in the team. Similarly, being able to turn the tide at this time is also a proof of his ability. Choi's father obviously does not want to give up this rare opportunity.

"I already have a basic plan in my mind, but it seems you have an idea." Papa Cui sat on the sofa with a glass of wine, looking confident. "You talk first, if you say it well, I'll give you a generous New Year reward."

"Oh, is that?" Choi Sooyoung's eyes lit up when he heard the reward, "Then..., Dad will help reimburse my shopping list today~"

"Haha, as long as you say it well, there is no problem." Looking at the large and small luxury brand packaging bags on the sofa, Cui's father looked indifferent. The rewards are small, and the interaction with his little daughter is what this middle-aged man who is used to burying his feelings deeply.

"Then I'll say it~" I glanced at Sister Cui who was already staring at her attentively. The girl with long legs sat opposite Dad Cui, and then began to say leisurely: "Choose to fight against netizens. This is Pan Guangxi's first failure. No matter how powerful you have, netizens are the basis for the survival of the website. Taking action against parents of food and clothing, I believe that this is what Melon's current or future competitors are most happy to see. Maybe they have already participated."

"Yes, the team at the headquarters has discovered that the network traffic is abnormal. Such a riotous scale is not something that a small group spontaneously organized by netizens can do." Cui's father took a sip of the thing in the cup and nodded. "Pan Guangxi has discovered this a long time ago. I believe this is the key to his headache now, so the reaction method is so intense."

"So how to deal with the current situation? I think it's better to be loose than to get stuck." The long-legged girl took the water cup handed over by Sister Cui, smelled the fresh lemon fragrance, and nodded to Sister Cui.

"I hope to hear it carefully~." Dad Cui raised his wine glass and was also humorous.

"First of all, we need to solve the problem. Since there is a phenomenon of manual pinning, it means that netizens have this need. Then they have to solve this need manually by themselves, which means that what we are doing here is not in place. So the first step is to formalize their needs, which satisfies them on the one hand, and facilitates future management on the other hand."

"Well, it's not bad, this is what I thought of. Do you have any specific plans?" Papa Cui nodded.

Mr. Cui Zhengnan, you are like this, it seems that you are ready to eat ready-made food?

"We can set a button under the post, such as the 'Like' button. When netizens click the button, the post will get a little 'Like index'. This 'Like value' can be summarized into the calculation formula for post sorting. Moreover, we can also be more flexible in sorting. At the top of the forum post collection page, set a 'natural sort' or 'Like sort' to let netizens choose it themselves. Simply put, we are only responsible for the service and put the initiative in the hands of consumers."

The long-legged girl took a sip of lemon juice in the water cup, moistened her throat, and continued: "To prevent trouble, we can set an id in a post that can only click 'like' once, and after clicking 'like', you can enter a message with a word limit to achieve the effect of quick reply. This short message is usually hidden and collected, and only clicks will be expanded. On the one hand, this will increase the enthusiasm of netizens to click 'like', and on the other hand, it will also bring visual simplicity and neatness to the layout. After all, only those who need a long speech will choose regular reply that looks troublesome."

"This idea is good, is there any?" Papa Cui nodded and praised.

"Then expand this idea and you can also apply it to the post. There is only a button for 'just look at this id' in the post, which seems a little monotonous. We can let netizens click 'like' for their admirable reply. The 'like value' of this reply can also be calculated into the sorting formula of the main post, because excellent replies can undoubtedly increase the value of the main post. Moreover, in the main post, netizens can also choose 'like sorting'. In this way, more people like replies will also get the location in advance, making it more convenient for viewers to obtain more useful information."

The girl with long legs gestured for a while before continuing: "But there is a question to pay attention to here. There are many replies that are more than once. Multiple replies by a single author should be counted as one, and the same id should also limit the right to 'like' in this replies. Also, the logical relationship between replies and replies, how to sort out and then express them completely, also requires careful consideration by the technical department."

"So what do you think should be dealt with for the 'mpt' party?" Papa Cui did not comment, but just changed the topic.

"I think we should comfort and ease, for example, set up a special netizen club section on the forum, and set up a sub-section for them to manage themselves." The girl with long-legged legs thought of her own Miogeni club. "This is a place where netizens entertain themselves. We only need to control the source, such as 200 registered melon users to apply for rule settings such as 'gang'. I believe that this will not only standardize the organization of these netizens, but also attract many tourists and netizens to register. This is also very beneficial to the increase in melon click rate."

"And the mpt is regular, so those guys who secretly fan the flames can't hide it." After hearing this, Dad Cui almost didn't pause. He picked up his phone and went upstairs again, leaving a light sentence, "I've passed the test, remember to continue to carry forward~!"

"Dad, what about the promised reimbursement~!" The long-legged girl quickly raised the packaging bag beside her. When she heard Dad Cui smiled and did not respond, she pouted and looked back. Sister Cui, who had been sitting beside her, "Okay, Dad has run away. Now, it's time to tell me about your affairs."

"What? My business?" Sister Cui looked confused.

"Stop coming, you haven't been passing by like this before. I was indifferent to seeing me holding so many famous brands. I'm not doing anything yet." The girl with long legs looked straight into Sister Cui's eyes, "Say, what does mpt have to do with you."

The two sisters stared at each other for a while and saw that they really couldn't get through. Sister Cui simply sat on the sofa and sorted out the famous brand packaging bags. "Okay, I'm not going to hide it from you. mpt can be said to be established because of my reasons. I am one of the twenty-eight constellations."

"What?!" The girl with long legs didn't expect that this would be the answer.

"Isn't it just to compete with your song "Those Flowers"? Who knew that as I played, I would be out of control." Sister Cui looked depressed.

Sister, you are really high-end...

"I suddenly felt that I should charge a little confidentiality fee? Choi Soo-jin~~?"

"What?!"

ps: I wrote these to highlight Xiuying's business importance. This is related to the subsequent plot, but once I wrote them, I couldn't help but write too much...

ps2: I'm also very depressed when I always update it at two or three points...
