Chapter 118 Final Preparations for the Variety Show (Gift Value Plus)

Li Chunyan had several meetings to attend in the afternoon and had to rush back to Gulin City in the evening, so Jiang Ningyue didn't stay long. Before leaving, Feng Xin saw Jiang Ningyue out, and she looked conflicted all the way.

Jiang Ningyue understood what she meant, "Sister Xin, I didn't bring much this time. Next time I'll bring a special portion for you."

"I don't feel comfortable with this." Feng Xin immediately refused with a smile on his face. However, although he refused, he was actually very happy.

Jiang Ningyue smiled and said a few more words before leaving with Feng Xin's warm farewell.

——

Although Jiang Ningyue's appearance on the Oriental White Stork some time ago made her a little famous in the industry and also made Haizhou Provincial TV station stand out among its peers, the provincial TV station has not lifted the ban on Jiang Ningyue.

As Jiang Ningyue had said before, she went to the Variety Show Department of the Arts Center.

As soon as Jiang Ningyue got out of the elevator, she felt a different atmosphere. The entire corridor was extremely noisy. It was like a vegetable market, constantly buzzing. Jiang Ningyue came to Han Jiajia's large office and came to Han Jiajia's side.

Han Jiajia was staring blankly at the computer screen, where two girls were singing and dancing. Because Han Jiajia was wearing headphones, Jiang Ningyue couldn't hear anything.

"Jia Jia?"

Jiang Ningyue patted Han Jiajia on the shoulder. Han Jiajia took off her headphones and turned her head.

With the deep dark circles, tired eyes, and messy hair, Jiang Ningyue suddenly felt that coming to the variety show department to help was a bad move.

"Xiaoyue, you're here?!"

Han Jiajia was immediately excited when she saw Jiang Ningyue. She stood up suddenly and grabbed Jiang Ningyue's arm, "Director, Xiaoyue came to our department to help."

Several people gathered around the computer screen in the corner stood up immediately. One of them was Director Zhai from the Variety Department. He looked much older and smiled at Jiang Ningyue, "It's good that you came, Xiao Jiang! We're really short of people right now!"

"Forehead……"

Jiang Ningyue blinked and said with a slightly awkward smile: "Can you tell me what happened here?"

Han Jiajia pulled Jiang Ningyue to sit down and introduced, "Our 'Girl Group 101' will officially begin live streaming in mid-April, and we're currently in the final screening phase. We're selecting '101' contestants from over 20,000 idol trainees. In addition to the few already selected, we're also reviewing audition samples from tens of thousands more."

Jiang Ningyue understood. With tens of thousands of people and 3 minutes for each team, that was an astronomical figure. Otherwise, why would Han Jiajia be in such a sloppy state?

"I seem to have something going on at the news center. I won't bother you anymore. I'll be leaving now."

"no!"

Han Jiajia held onto Jiang Ningyue tightly, "Please take my place for a moment. I'm dying of sleep!"

"All right."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Ningyue sat down, while Han Jiajia lay down beside her and fell asleep soon.

It seems she is really tired.

Jiang Ningyue took over Han Jiajia's job and began to review the idol trainees one by one.

Seeing so many beautiful girls dancing on the computer screen is a pleasant thing. Unfortunately, when it becomes a job, it starts to become boring.

The review criteria are also very simple, only focusing on two points: "ability" and "appearance".

If you don’t have the ability, look at your appearance; if you don’t have the appearance, look at your ability.

Those who don’t have any will be eliminated.

As for those who have a background, there is no need for review at all and they will be directly selected.

Each video was about 5 minutes long, and sometimes, if she couldn't find the right one, she would watch it two or three times over to compare. Jiang Ningyue watched them one by one with a serious and responsible attitude, but after an hour, she had only completed less than 10.

Jiang Ningyue was a little tired. In the end, anything that didn't catch her eye within 1 minute was rejected by her.

Even so, there are still countless materials in the library.

This made Jiang Ningyue feel desperate.

It was not until 7 o'clock in the evening that Jiang Ningyue felt sore all over. The people from the variety show department pushed a food cart full of boxed lunches, and Jiang Ningyue was able to take a short rest.

"Your work is too tiring."

"yes."

Han Jiajia rubbed her eyes and said, "I feel like my eyesight has worsened."

"It can't be outsourced yet." Jiang Ningyue sighed. The right of review is a big power, and it is easy to cause problems if it is outsourced.

"yes."

Han Jiajia opened the lunch box lid and pushed it to Jiang Ningyue. "Thank you for your hard work today. I feel like I'm going to die if I keep working overtime."

"Your intensity is too high."

Jiang Ningyue sighed, "We should hire some temporary workers for you."

“Normally we don’t need so many people.”

Han Jiajia sighed, "It's just that the intensity of the work this time is really very high."

"How's the endorsement deal going?"

"not bad."

Han Jiajia thought for a moment and said, "I heard that they have already negotiated several advertisements. After all, the cooperative company is a large enterprise."

"Um."

Jiang Ningyue nodded after hearing this. As long as she could make money, it was fine. After all, it was the first program she planned, so she was quite interested in it.

After helping out in the variety show department for a few days, the Xia Ze City Public Security Bureau released the results of its investigation into the "Oriental White Stork", and Jiang Ningyue took the opportunity to leave.

When we arrived at the Xiaze City Public Security Bureau, many people from major media outlets had already finished their interviews and were preparing to go to the ecological park to photograph the release of the rescued Oriental white storks.

After seeing Jiang Ningyue, everyone, whether they knew her or not, greeted her with a smile.

"Do you want the footage? We'll send you a copy after we finish filming, saving you the trouble."

"Hurrah."

Jiang Ningyue smiled and nodded, "Just post it in the group later."

Liu Jiawen, who had come with Jiang Ningyue, asked curiously, "When did you become so close to the reporters from CCTV and Xinhua News Agency?"

Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "This is called 'respect from peers'."

Liu Jiawen smiled helplessly.

"Hello, Captain Wang." Jiang Ningyue walked up to a middle-aged man. "I'm Jiang Ningyue from the provincial station. I've arranged an interview with you."

"Hello, reporter Jiang."

Captain Wang nodded politely and said, "We're doing the interview here?"

"OK."

Jiang Ningyue nodded, adjusted the equipment and the rack, and asked, "What is the reason for the mass death of Oriental white storks this time?"

"According to our investigation, the Oriental White Storks were maliciously poisoned with a highly toxic pesticide called 'carbamate', which is extremely toxic to fish and birds. Following investigations by our local police and the leads you provided, we have already apprehended over 30 suspects. These suspects are all nearby fishermen and restaurant owners. They soaked fish or corn kernels in the pesticide and then spread it in the stork's habitat, killing the storks."

Although Jiang Ningyue knew the reason, she still asked, "What are they trying to do by poisoning the Oriental White Stork?"

Captain Wang explained, "According to our interrogation, these fishermen poisoned the animals so they could sell them to nearby restaurants, which would buy them for 1,000 yuan each. The restaurants would then sell them to regular customers who love wild game, and the prices were very high."

"So what kind of sanctions will these people face?"

Captain Wang: "According to Article 341 of the Criminal Law, illegal hunting or killing of precious and endangered wild animals under state protection is punishable by up to five years of imprisonment or criminal detention, and a fine. In serious cases, the offender may be sentenced to between five and ten years of imprisonment, and a fine. In especially serious cases, the offender may be sentenced to ten years or more of imprisonment, and a fine or confiscation of property."

"Also, according to the 'Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in the Trial of Criminal Cases Involving the Destruction of Wildlife Resources,' killing four or more Oriental White Storks is considered 'particularly serious circumstances.' Of course, the final decision will depend on the evidence gathered by the procuratorate and the final judgment of the court."
