I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3783: Chapter 3774: A New Task

"Director Zhao said we should wait here for the computers and work IDs."

"But even if they come, I still don’t know what to do," Zhao Yuhuan pouted.

"This job feels like we’re in a free-range mode. They’re giving us a month to produce results, or we can pack up and leave."

"I noticed that too. It feels weird," Zhao Yuhuan whispered, worried someone might overhear.

"Do you feel like if it’s going to be like this, it might be better to just go solo?" Lin Yi chuckled.

Zhao Yuhuan nodded with a grin, "That’s kind of what I’m thinking."

"But they’ve provided a platform, and the filming and operations are managed for us, which saves us a lot of hassle."

"You have a point," Zhao Yuhuan conceded.

"But I still don’t know what I should do now."

"We could work on an account, maybe research and see what content to create, but it’s not something to rush. If we pick the right direction, it’ll be twice the result with half the effort," Lin Yi said.

"I suddenly feel like I’m starting my own business, having to make all the decisions myself."

"That’s pretty much it. Unless Director Zhao gives specific instructions, we go with our own ideas."

"Yeah, yeah."

As they were chatting, a curvy woman approached them.

"We’re colleagues now. I’m Li Xiao from Group Three, just wanted to say hi."

"Hi, I’m Lin Yi."

"Hi, I’m Zhao Yuhuan."

"I didn’t prepare much, but I have two pieces of chocolate, one for each of you as a meeting gift."

Li Xiao smiled as she handed the chocolates to them.

Neither of them fussed; Zhao Yuhuan was too shy to eat hers, while Lin Yi popped his into his mouth without hesitation.

"What did Director Zhao say to you just now?"

"Not much, just told us to create an account and get 10,000 followers within a month, or we’re out."

"That’s not too hard. Once you grasp the essence, a single video could get you over 10,000 followers," Li Xiao said.

"But you need to think carefully about what content to make. It’s no big deal overall."

"Don’t mislead the newcomers; it’s not as easy as you make it sound."

At this moment, a man in his forties came over, wearing glasses and a shirt, holding a thermos.

Lin Yi glanced at his badge; his name was Wang Xiyang, the department’s photographer.

"Let me tell you, creating an account is quite mystical. Sometimes you put a lot of effort into your content, but the views are pathetic, and other times, you casually shoot something, and your followers increase by thousands. The key is to choose the right direction, and don’t rush."

"Got it."

"You guys get busy, if you have questions, ask. I’m the videographer, and the content for your group should be shot by me. Name’s Wang Xiyang, let’s communicate more about work."

"Got it, thanks, Brother Wang."

"I won’t disturb you anymore, keep at it."

Saying that, Li Xiao left too.

Meanwhile, the logistics people brought over the computers and badges, marking the official start of their work.

Lin Yi had just opened his computer when a system notification rang in his mind.

[System task: Create a video with over 10,000 views, reward 50,000 Master level driving skills.]

Seeing the system task, Lin Yi started pondering.

Creating a video with over 10,000 views is not particularly hard, nor is it particularly easy.

For someone with an existing fan base, they could casually achieve that level.

But for a brand new account, it’s not so easy.

So there is some difficulty.

"Lin Bro, should we start thinking about what content to create?" Zhao Yuhuan asked quietly.

Lin Yi nodded, "There are a few basic principles to follow."

"Yeah, yeah, tell me."

Zhao Yuhuan took out a small notebook, ready to jot things down.

"The content we create needs to be curious, not repetitive, something different from others, innovative."

"Also, there needs to be conflict; otherwise, viewers won’t be interested."

"Since we’re a TV station account, content-wise, we need to be more positive and uplifting, we can’t just shoot anything. With these principles, I believe creating an account with over 10,000 followers within a month shouldn’t be hard."

"Lin Bro, have you done this kind of work before? You seem quite professional."

"I haven’t done social media before, but I was a streamer for a while, so I know a bit about this. As long as we follow these principles, it shouldn’t be a problem. As for what’s to come, we’ll learn as we go."

"We’re back to the original problem: what kind of content can meet these requirements?" Zhao Yuhuan’s expression was a bit troubled.

"I always feel that intense conflict and spreading positivity clash a bit, these two are hard to combine."

"That’s simple. Positivity is just the value added later, elevating the theme," Lin Yi explained.

"The bottom line is not breaking the law, not violating public morals; positivity is an embellishment as long as we don’t spread negative energy."

"I understand what you mean."

"As for specific content, let’s scroll through our phones for inspiration."

"Yeah, yeah."

Zhao Yuhuan took out her phone and started scrolling through videos, Lin Yi did the same.

While browsing his phone, he received a message from Yan Ci.

Yan Ci: "Director Lin, how’s your first day at work going?"

Lin Yi: "First day and there’s already pressure, haha."

Yan Ci: "For Director Lin, that’s nothing."

Yan Ci: "I’m downstairs, do you have time for lunch?"

Lin Yi checked the time, noticing it was already past 11.

Lin Yi: "I’ll come down to find you in a bit."

Yan Ci: "Great."

After chatting with Yan Ci for a bit, Lin Yi continued browsing his phone, hoping to spark some inspiration, but found nothing for quite a while.

"Lin Bro, it’s noon. Want to grab lunch?" Zhao Yuhuan asked softly.

"I’ve got plans with someone else, I’ll pass."

"Oh, okay. I’ll go then."

"Alright."

Lin Yi took his phone and exited the TV station, spotting Yan Ci’s car parked conspicuously outside.

Yan Ci, wearing sunglasses, sat in the car, waving at Lin Yi with a charming smile.

Lin Yi opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"There’s a Sichuan restaurant nearby that’s quite good. I’ll take you to try it."

"Let’s go."

They drove for about ten minutes before stopping outside a restaurant named Old Zhang’s Boiled Fish.

Once inside, they casually ordered a few dishes, and Yan Ci looked at Lin Yi with interest:

"So, how is it? Is Zhao Jing good-looking?"
