I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 409 Normal Company (4878)

It wasn't until he got on the high-speed train and saw the entire first-class carriage filled with technical bosses from Youzi Technology and Ysou whose names he had only seen on GitHub and in papers, and at most met once or twice in the elevator, that Bai Yuheng felt it was real.

How could a nobody like me be in the same carriage with so many big guys?

Wait, how did I get the offer from Ysou so easily in the first place? Could it be just for this matter?
What if I don’t play any role by then and Youzi Technology doesn’t solve the problem, will my contract be terminated again soon?
Bai Yuheng couldn't help but have wild thoughts in his mind, and the panic in his heart was like an indestructible cockroach. He originally thought that the creature was gone in the house, but when he went to the kitchen, he saw two tentacles sticking out of the cupboard and moving around.

No, no.

"Brother Bai, do you want water or Coke?"

Bai Yuheng suddenly came to his senses when he felt someone poking him. He took a few deep breaths and saw that the conductor was distributing drinks and high-speed rail snacks. Liu Wenxiao next to him had already taken one, and seeing that he didn't move, he poked him.

"I need some water. Sorry, I was distracted. Thank you."

Bai Yuheng smiled apologetically at the conductor and politely thanked Liu Wenxiao.

Although the young man next to me is only in his early twenties, he has produced a co-first author paper at a top conference with over 3000 citations at Youzi Technology, and has several articles on arxiv that have received considerable attention. He is completely on a different level from me.

"I heard that Brother Bai had encountered this problem before? What was the specific situation?"

Liu Wenxiao, who was standing next to him, was eating crab and cucumber seeds from a snack while trying to get familiar with Bai Yuheng.

Bai Yuheng smiled awkwardly: "To our shame, we didn't find the cause of the fault in the end. The fault came out of nowhere at the time, and it was said that it disappeared inexplicably later."

Liu Wenxiao was curious: "Did you check the time window when the fault was triggered? For example, before the fault occurred, did the 'content management' module receive any abnormal requests? Or was there a task thread running in the background? What about the system log?"

Bai Yuheng shook his head: "This is exactly what's strange. There is nothing abnormal, and the system logs didn't show anything strange. At that time, more than 30 people in our group were looking for problems in this area, but they couldn't find any."

"Everything in the system was normal. We even found more than a dozen system vulnerabilities that had not been discovered before, but we just couldn't find out why the 'content management' module failed."

"The system log is also normal?" Liu Wenxiao became interested. "Could it be a hacker attack? Did someone tamper with the log file?"

"Maybe, but we really didn't find any traces of hacker intrusion. Of course, Qianxun faces thousands of intrusions every day, but basically none of them can get past the system firewall and can't reach the core level of 'content management'."

Bai Yuheng smiled nervously, and then added another sentence.

"We also considered whether there was a zero-day vulnerability or a supply chain attack, but after a thorough investigation by the security team, no trace of intrusion was found. The firewall and intrusion detection system had almost no problems in those days, which was the weirdest part."

If someone had said this before, he would have already started to criticize. What does that mean? Are you questioning the ability of our team? Who do you think you are? Do you think we can't consider such a simple and trivial question?
Qianxun's security team can be said to be battle-hardened. After all, so many hacker groups want to defeat Qianxun as a boss to gain reputation.

There are also many black industries that want to hack into Qianxun servers to make a living.

The tests this security team has faced are no less than those faced by Ali’s Payment Insurance and Penguin’s WeChat Credit.

But now, in front of the Youzi Technology team, which is almost legendary in the current IT industry, even when facing a small character like Liu Wenxiao, Bai Yuheng unconsciously lost some of his confidence.

Programmers are in an industry that requires lifelong learning. These days he is also teaching himself deep learning and wants to move into AI.

Only when he really started to get involved in this field did he realize how indispensable Yuzi Technology is in the field of AI.

If Geoffrey Hinton is the Euclid in the field of neural networks and pioneered the starting point of artificial intelligence, then Yuzu Technology is Newton + Euler + Riemann + Gauss + Leibniz...

In the past year, the academic contributions of the YOUZI Technology team accounted for 45% of the important academic contributions in the global AI field. There is almost no new paper in the field of deep learning that does not cite the papers of the YOUZI Technology team.

Moreover, the entire big model industry is currently built on the Pomelo framework and the open source version of the Orange big model.

In addition to Google's hugging framework, it does use Google's own framework, which is a unique framework formed by integrating the AlphaGo of the deepmind team and the self-generated model of the Google brain.

The 'Yuzu Framework' has become a core platform that cannot be avoided in industry and academia. The Orange Big Model has become the default choice for major companies and institutions to deploy AI models.

In comparison, Google's TensorFlow architecture appears redundant and cumbersome. Although it has been improved with the support of DeepMind, it is still difficult to shake the dominant position of the PUZZ framework.

Tensorflow, which Google Brain was preparing to officially release, has been completely abandoned and has switched to hugging architecture.

We have to give up. The field overlaps with that of the yuzu architecture, but the performance is more than one generation behind. If we don't give up tensorflow and continue to invest in it, wouldn't it be the same as Nokia holding on to S60 and waiting to die under the double pressure from Android and Apple?
Therefore, almost all of the initial twenty or so employees of Youzi Technology have become well-known technical experts in the industry, even Liu Wenxiao, a smoker and drinker who was even dumber than the clear-headed and stupid undergraduate when he first came for the interview.

A few days ago, Liu Wenxiao was invited by his mentor Song Jianguo to return to Chengzhou to hold an exchange meeting at the Ziguang Exchange Center with his younger classmates who did not leave school during the summer vacation, thus fulfilling Hua Zecheng's prediction two years ahead of schedule.

In this situation, Bai Yuheng, who had just joined Ysou, of course looked like a big shot to everyone else.

Liu Wenxiao is a technician and doesn't have much social activities. Apart from this exchange meeting, he hasn't really felt the change in his social status. Therefore, he is very polite to the older Bai Yuheng, which makes Bai Yuheng even a little flattered.

As the two chatted, Bai Yuheng discovered that Liu Wenxiao had studied for his undergraduate degree at Haipu Jiaotong University and was his junior.

"It's already noon, and I'm a little hungry." Liu Wenxiao touched his stomach.

Seeing this, Bai Yuheng hurriedly said, "Wenxiao, I'll go to car 5 and talk to the conductor, and also order lunch boxes for everyone else."

Liu Wenxiao didn't even realize what Bai Yuheng wanted to do: "Brother Bai, no need. We'll be arriving soon. Didn't they just say they wanted to get off the bus to eat shaved noodles? And I brought some delicious food."

After saying that, Liu Wenxiao took his backpack off the luggage rack and took out two large lunch boxes from it.

After putting a company-issued notebook on his backpack, the total capacity was not very large. It turned out that he basically didn't bring any spare clothes, so he used all the space to carry meals.

Liu Wenxiao swallowed his saliva and opened the lid of the lunch box. It was full of...meat?

Is this meat smoked? It smells pretty good.

Bai Yuheng couldn't help but sniff.

Opening the lunch box, Liu Wenxiao said politely: "By the way, Brother Bai, you have been in Haixi for a short time, so you must not have eaten this. Let me tell you, this tastes amazing, and you have to eat it with a pancake. I'll give you a portion to try."

After Liu Wenxiao finished speaking, he opened another Lock&Lock lunch box. Wow, it looked like there were at least two pounds of cakes in it.

Huh? There are peeled garlic cloves.

“If you don’t add garlic to your meat, the flavor will be half gone.”

Liu Wenxiao chuckled twice, put the smoked pork head from the lunch box between the pancakes and handed it to Bai Yuheng.

Bai Yuheng waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'll go find the conductor to buy a lunch box."

Liu Wenxiao said enthusiastically: "Try it, it's true, I can call this smoked meat the best in the country. Before the company moved, we always went to buy from him. We took turns to line up every day. The sale starts at 4 pm, so basically we have to line up at 3 pm, and we'll be sold out and close the stall at 4:30 at the latest."

"Oh, why does it smell so good? Wenxiao, did you go to Liuheju? Why didn't you bring me some?"

Bai Yuheng and Liu Wenxiao were being polite to each other when they heard someone talking next to them. Then, a hand reached out, picked up a pancake from Liu Wenxiao's lunch box, and unceremoniously rolled up almost three taels of pork head and started eating it.

"Where's the garlic? Give me two cloves." The fat hand took two more cloves of garlic from the lunch box.

Liu Wenxiao quickly protected the lunch box: "Teacher Hua, if you want to eat, go buy it yourself! I queued up at 2:30 yesterday afternoon and waited for an hour and a half to buy this."

Yesterday at 2:30 pm? That was still working hours, right? He went out to queue up to buy bacon? Are the people at Yuzu Technology so casual?
Besides, Hua Zecheng is your direct supervisor, right? Is it really okay to tell your supervisor that you skipped work to buy bacon?

For a moment, Bai Yuheng even felt that the three views he had developed over the past ten years of work had been greatly impacted.

What's even worse is that he was sitting next to the window, Liu Wenxiao was sitting next to the aisle, and Hua Zecheng was standing next to Liu Wenxiao. If he was sitting on the aisle side, he could stand up and give his seat to Hua Zecheng, but now he was sitting inside and couldn't even give up his seat.

Hua Zecheng didn't notice Bai Yuheng's fidgeting, his eyes were only focused on the bacon.

When Youzi Technology was still located in the old computer room of National University, the employees often bought smoked meat from this store during dinner parties. Later, Youzi Technology moved to the eastern suburbs, and their dormitory moved there as well, so they rarely went there anymore.

Hua Zecheng ignored Liu Wenxiao's resistance and ate a bite of meat, a bite of biscuit and a bite of garlic: "I'm on a diet, your sister Lu Si won't let me buy it."

Liu Wenxiao sneered: "Didn't you say you gained weight by eating Sister Lu Si's leftovers? There is a limit to showing affection, we are still single."

Bai Yuheng was stunned watching from the side. Is this how Liu Wenxiao talked to Hua Zecheng?
This is Hua Zecheng!

Hua Zecheng can be regarded as a big shot in the entire field of deep learning!

Wait, what did Liu Wenxiao just say?
Lu Si? Hua Zecheng and Lu Si are a couple?
Shit, isn't this a powerful combination?

No, does Yuzi Technology allow office romances? Especially romances of this level, shouldn't be allowed? The risk is too great!

Hua Zecheng swallowed a mouthful of meat and sighed with satisfaction. "Well, I tell you, cherish your single time when you can feed the whole family. Don't rush into a relationship. Enjoy a few more years of single life. This is the best stage for a man. Look at Niu Tianrui, what a good guy, much more handsome than you, right? He went astray in love and sold his options to buy a bag for his girlfriend. Do you regret it now? Hey, don't stare, you will know when you find a partner and get married."

Liu Wenxiao muttered: "I see the boss is not single, and he lives a pretty good life every day."

Hua Zecheng's face changed, and he secretly turned his head to look at the front of the car, and saw Shen Shuyao and Zhou Shuzi sitting together and chatting. He turned back and whispered: "Liu Wenxiao, if you want to die, don't drag me with you."

Bai Yuheng was confused as he watched from the side. What did that mean? Mr. Zhou was indeed not single, and it seemed that the couple had a good relationship.

After thinking about it, Bai Yuheng realized that they were from Youzi Technology, and were not in the same team as him, and the boss they were talking about was certainly not Zhou Shuzi.

Is that the legendary young genius and pioneer of the era of artificial intelligence, Fang Yu?

Fang Yu already has a girlfriend? Then there's no need for them to be so nervous, right?

Liu Wenxiao patted his chest in fear and said, "I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Teacher Hua, please bear with me. It's just that your example is not very convincing. How about you introduce Sister Lu Si's junior schoolmate to me first?"

Hua Zecheng waved his hands in frustration: "Forget it, you won't believe me even if I tell you. Oh, by the way, Xiaobai is married, right? If you don't believe me, ask Xiaobai."

Bai Yuheng, who was a little nervous at first, was approached by Hua Zecheng. After chatting with Hua Zecheng, who had become fat and cheerful, he found that these people who he thought were legendary big shots were not so high and mighty after all.

"That... uh, Teacher Hua, there is something I want to tell you first..." Bai Yuheng gritted his teeth. If he stuck his head out, he would be in danger. If Ysou had come in just for this day, he would be useless and would be exposed when he arrived at the scene. It would be better to make it clear in advance.

Hua Zecheng was stunned by Bai Yuheng's expression: "What's the matter?"

"Actually... I didn't find any problems with the Qianxun system when I was in Qianxun. I was just talking to Wenxiao about it. I'm also confused now. I may not be of much help to the company..."

Hua Zecheng said "oh" with a confused look on his face, still not understanding what Bai Yuheng was trying to say.

"I want to ask you, if I don't work this time, will our company terminate my contract directly? After all, my probation period has not yet ended."

Bai Yuheng looked nervous and a layer of sweat broke out on his head.

"Probation period?" Hua Zecheng wondered, "Does Y-Search have a probation period? I haven't heard of any probation period at Youzi Technology."

Bai Yuheng was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the HR department did not seem to mention the probation period when he joined the company.

But isn’t the default period for this thing three months to six months?

"Don't worry. Although I'm not in Ysou, we at Youzi Technology will never fire an employee without a reason. If you don't believe me, take a look at the employee handbook. There's no such thing as firing in the employee breach of contract liability list. The most serious liability is being struck by lightning, hahaha."

Hua Zecheng laughed out loud as he spoke.

God bless you, it's so funny. I want to laugh every time I think about it.

"You should also use TeamPulse, right? Check your contribution value on your Pulse page. As long as it is above the bottom line, you are safe. Even if it is below this line for three consecutive quarters, you will be trained first and then transferred to another position. You will most likely not be fired."

Bai Yuheng found it a little unbelievable: "If the company doesn't fire employees, what will it do if it encounters unsuitable employees?"

Hua Zecheng thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about this, but at least our team hasn't had any employees who are so bad that they have to be fired. All the people are recruited by Shu Yao and her team. I don't know what their recruitment criteria are, but the people who are recruited to make it to the final interview are all good and capable."

"If you are interested in this, why don't you just ask Shu Yao directly?"

After saying that, Hua Zecheng pointed to the front of the carriage and then took a bite of the pig's head.

Shen Shuyao? Bai Yuheng couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Can you just ask HRD?

Do you think everyone is you, Hua Zecheng?

"Okay, Mr. Hua, you're cheating again while Sister Lu Si is away!"

A pleasant voice with a slight nasal tone was heard, and then a pretty face showing both joy and anger appeared in Bai Yuheng's sight.

"Brother Bai, I'm Shen Shuyao, do you remember me?"

Shen Shuyao smiled apologetically at Bai Yuheng: "I just knew you were in this technical team before I got on the bus. Just now I suddenly remembered and came to ask you, if you signed some confidentiality agreements related to this mission when you resigned from Qianxun, you don't have to participate."

"Maybe Mr. Hua and his colleagues were more used to considering the issue from a technical perspective, so I came to you to confirm. After all, this is about the legal responsibility of individual employees. A normal company should not let its employees take such risks."

Hearing Shen Shuyao's words, Bai Yuheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Normal companies shouldn't let their employees take this kind of risk?
"I did sign a confidentiality agreement, but... you know, it was about that incident, and it should have nothing to do with this mission."

Bai Yuheng suddenly felt that there was a hint of nasality in his voice when he spoke.

Is this a normal company? If this is a normal company, then what is the place I worked in the past?
Shen Shuyao nodded suddenly, and was just about to ask Bai Yuheng to send the confidentiality agreement to the legal module of TeamPulse to let the AI ​​check whether there are any risks, when the sound of the high-speed rail car arriving at the station was rang out.

"Dear passengers, Yujun Station is coming soon. Passengers who are getting off the train, please pack your belongings and prepare to get off the train in advance. Ladies and gentlemen, the next stop is YuJun station..."
