I have to say that in this era, it is quite difficult to make the People's Daily pay so much attention to you and send someone to discuss your job transfer.
This also shows how great the influence of Qian Shuzhen's previous reports and articles related to forest fires was.
However, just as the People's Daily finished speaking, Comrade Li Yuanchao of Xinhua News Agency immediately took over and also tried his best to argue: "Comrade Shuzhen, Xinhua News Agency's positioning is different from that of People's Daily.
We are not only the authority on domestic news reporting, but also the eyes of the country looking out to the world.
Joining Xinhua News Agency means you'll not only have a voice on major domestic news events, but also have the opportunity to participate in international reporting, which will greatly broaden your horizons. Our foreign correspondents are located all over the world, and we need people like you who are thoughtful, hardworking and daring.
In addition to positions at the capital's headquarters, you may also be assigned to Hong Kong, Macau, or even permanently stationed abroad in the future, truly standing on the front lines of international news! This is an irreplaceable opportunity for journalists to hone their personal qualities and grow.
Qian Shuzhen was completely stunned, and a huge sense of surprise and disbelief hit her.
This is the People's Daily and Xinhua News Agency!
This is the highest hall that journalists across the country dream of!
How could a few of her reports cause such a big stir?
How could I become the "hot commodity" that these two giants are fighting over?
She was also confused for a moment, as the conditions on both sides were extremely attractive.
The capital's platform is indeed grand, but the international perspective... Hong Kong and Macau... even going abroad...
She fell into deep hesitation, her brows slightly furrowed. This sudden surprise made her unsure of what to do for a moment.
Going to the People's Daily undoubtedly reached the pinnacle of domestic news and had a huge influence.
But if you go to Xinhua News Agency, it means opening a door to a wider world, which is naturally full of unknown challenges and opportunities.
These two choices were now like the two ends of a scale, and began to swing violently in her heart.
Seeing Qian Shuzhen's hesitation, Chen Feng and Li Yuanchao looked at each other and realized that if they wanted to win over an outstanding journalist like her, they had to add more effort.
Chen Feng spoke again, emphasizing to Qian Shuzhen the core position of the People's Daily in the domestic public opinion field and its unparalleled advantages in policy interpretation, and also emphasized the sense of honor of being able to participate in the reporting of major historical events.
It has to be said that journalists of this era have an extremely high social status, not to mention journalists from the People's Daily. Even decades later, the resume of a journalist from the People's Daily will be quite impressive.
Li Yuanchao elaborated in more detail on the unique charm of Xinhua News Agency's overseas correspondents' work and its important role in the country's external propaganda, especially emphasizing the great benefits of overseas assignment experience to personal career development.
Working at Xinhua News Agency, the chances of being assigned abroad are dozens or even hundreds of times greater than working at other domestic units. In fact, as long as you perform well and actively apply for an assignment abroad, there is a great chance that it will be approved directly.
"... Especially for our Hong Kong branch, as a crucial national outpost in a complex and sensitive region, the tasks are arduous and the responsibilities are heavy, but it's also the best way to train people. The workload there has been heavy lately, and we urgently need to recruit a group of politically reliable, professionally competent, and daring personnel..."
"Hong Kong branch?!"
These four words immediately made Qian Shuzhen excited.
Hong Kong Island!
Forest fire is raging!
Liu Rumeng!
What I just saw in the newspaper...
"Comrade Li! I'm going to Xinhua News Agency! But I have an unsolicited request. Please arrange for me to go to the Hong Kong branch!"
Liu Rumeng immediately said decisively.
Li Yuanchao was delighted and said, "We can send you to our Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch. But Comrade Shuzhen, the working environment of the Hong Kong branch is special and the requirements are higher.
Cantonese is the main local language, and English is the international lingua franca. Especially when it comes to reporting on foreign affairs, the language barrier is a hard barrier. How are your English and Cantonese proficiency levels?
Qian Shuzhen's heart sank when she heard this, and she became a little nervous.
English? She had learned it in college, and her basics were decent: she could read and write, but her listening and speaking were passable.
Cantonese? Absolutely zero!
But these difficulties could not stop her determination to go to Hong Kong Island at this moment.
"I have a basic understanding of English, and my reading and writing are fine. I can improve my listening and speaking skills. Cantonese... I don't speak Cantonese!
But I can learn right away! I can learn right now! Please trust me, I will conquer the language barrier as quickly as possible and it will not affect my work at all!
She said this with an eager and pleading look in her eyes.
Li Yuanchao thought for a few seconds and nodded in response, "Good! I'm glad you have this determination! The Hong Kong branch is in urgent need of comrades like you who are driven and thoughtful.
Language is a tool, capable of sudden breakthroughs. On behalf of Xinhua News Agency, I welcome you to join us! We will work with the Jilin Daily to quickly coordinate the formalities and follow-up arrangements. Be prepared to depart at any time!
"Thank you, Comrade Li! Thank you for the organization's trust! I will definitely do my best!"
Qian Shuzhen was so excited that she stood up immediately and shook hands tightly with Li Yuanchao.
Hong Kong Island!
She is going to Hong Kong Island too!
The Hong Kong Island with Lin Huowang and Liu Rumeng!
After leaving the president's office, Qian Shuzhen almost ran home.
The feeling of loss in my heart before has now been completely replaced by a huge excitement with some kind of secret expectation.
