Chapter 334 Career Development
Inside an office building in Binjin City, Hainan Province, Zhai Ningle sat at her workstation, fished out her phone, swiftly disconnected from the company's internet connection, and began browsing the day's hot news on her own. As soon as she opened the app, a long list of content popped up, and she scanned it from top to bottom.
[Ji Shao is suspected of signing with DL, official announcement coming soon!] [The official Weibo account of "Flower Journey" announced a comeback next week!] [Popular Science: Spoon-billed Sandpiper with its own rice spoon] [Fashion Pioneer: Hainan Province blockbuster] [……]
Adjusting her glasses, Zhai Ningle glanced disinterestedly at the previous news item. Her gaze shifted downward, and when she saw her province, her finger, which was about to scroll down, paused. Inertia forced her to click on it.
As soon as she clicked on the news, a large picture grabbed her attention. It was clearly a super cool image. The "female warrior" in the picture had a slender figure, and her cyberpunk style made her look domineering and powerful.
But the surprise this cover brought to Zhai Ningle was far more than that. The tough machinery and the little life with spread wings in the blockbuster, one moving and one still, made her enjoy the harmony and beauty of this moment.
This is a good piece of work, she thought.
"Tsk, slacking off during work hours again?" A teasing laugh came from the side. As the other person's body approached, a wave of heat rushed towards Zhai Ningle.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm looking for inspiration for our newspaper." Zhai Ningle leaned forward and responded with his neck stiff.
She placed her phone on the table and pointed at the bird she'd just learned about on the screen. "This Spoon-billed Sandpiper is a Class A protected species! Didn't our boss contact the Forestry Bureau about this earlier? I think this is something we can talk about."
Ai Wei leaned over to watch with interest at first, but once he saw the bird on the screen, he couldn't help but curl his lips. He rested his hands on the back of Zhai Ningle's chair, slowly straightened up, and said with a look of disinterest, "Stop talking about flowers, plants, and animals all day long. Try something more active, okay?"
The current environment for print media is visibly deteriorating, with sales of the Binjin Evening News declining year by year. If it weren't for support from above, the sales figures would be disheartening.
"What do you think of this photo? Doesn't it have an environmentally friendly feel?" After sliding the page back with his index finger, Zhai Ningle turned his head and gestured to Ai Wei.
Ai Wei didn't take it seriously at first, but the moment he saw the picture, he understood what Zhai Ningle meant by "environmental protection".
Seeing Ai Wei's thoughtful expression, Zhai Ningle recalled the friendly cooperation between the newspaper and several units. If they could take advantage of this favorable situation and make good use of it, perhaps they could inject new vitality into the newspaper.
And she noticed one thing from the beginning, that is, the news of [Fashion Pioneer Hainan Province Blockbuster] also had the shadow of the Hainan Province Forestry Bureau.
It was obvious that the full name of the Forestry Bureau was added so clearly after the two sides cooperated. Thinking of this, Zhai Ningle became a little jealous. This is traffic delivered to the door!
She'd just checked online and found that Spoon-billed Sandpipers also winter in Bingin City every year! If they could collaborate with the City Forestry Bureau and the City Wildlife Conservation Association, they could definitely run a "City Bird Selection" feature in the evening paper, much like "Star Path 101," to encourage citizen participation.
Zhai Ningle got the idea for this competition from Ji Shaona, who appeared in the news. Don't audiences love talent shows? So why not try it out in our evening newspaper?
With this in mind, Zhai Ningle quickly opened a Weibo account. Sure enough, the news stories she'd just read on the app were all trending. Knowing the Spoon-billed Sandpiper was likely related to the magazine photoshoot, Zhai Ningle clicked directly on the trending search term.
——A certain blog——
@老实说鸟V: The bird in the picture is a Spoon-billed Sandpiper, a critically endangered species. It's even rarer than the giant panda, so seeing one is truly remarkable. The magazine's video suggests the bird was probably attracted by the light reflected from the reflector. The photographer's skills are excellent, and the shot was beautiful. The key is sheer luck! //@秆瓜不加糖: @老实说鸟V: What species is this bird? I've never seen one before, and it looks so adorable!

The picture is the cover of "Fashion Pioneer" by Hui Anxin
There are even fewer of them than giant pandas. I'll have to take a closer look.
[Chubby like a sparrow [covering face]]
[Wow, I went to Hainan Province for a few months last year and didn't see any. Who took this photo? I was really lucky!]
[Ah, this... I can actually see my sister Zhou filming here! 23333 It feels like the dimensional wall has broken.]
Everyone's focused on the bird, am I the only one whose attention is drawn to the cover? Oh my goodness, it's gorgeous!
[Even Mr. Bird said the photos were good, so he must have really taken good photos of birds, haha, but this is People magazine.]
【……】
The comments and reposts for this blog post were still rising, but even so, Zhai Ningle was practically drooling. Even at this level of popularity, it was already a huge deal for them.
The official account of the Hainan Provincial Forestry Bureau, in particular, gained nearly 10,000 followers in just a few hours. In the comments section of recent blog posts, new followers are asking officials about the birds in the photos.
From morning to afternoon, Zhai Ningle was saving the data in real time. She felt this was an opportunity! More importantly, she had already quickly found the Provincial Forestry Bureau at noon and obtained the contact information of Fashion Pioneer!
Although she felt a little sorry for the Municipal Forestry Bureau, Zhai Ningle felt that this opportunity was really great. Now she had to wait and see what the leaders thought! The waiting time was always long. As she watched the clock move from 4 o'clock to 5 o'clock, and there was no news coming back, her heart began to sink slowly.
Zhai Ningle didn't learn much online, but what she did learn was valuable. She already knew that Fashion Pioneer was a top-tier women's magazine in China, as it was barely a competitor.
In addition, the cover of this magazine features an international supermodel, and the photographer who took the photo recently won an international award. This triple buff is so exciting to see!
If she didn't capitalize on this buzz now, she wouldn't be as enthusiastic about organizing the so-called "City Bird Selection" event in the future. Thinking about this, she didn't know how much time had passed, and her palms were sweating with anxiety.
The phone vibrated on the table, and Zhai Ningle swallowed nervously. Suddenly, his fingers moved like a rusty robot, mechanically sliding across the screen.
The first time, it didn't slide open, and the phone continued to vibrate. The second time, it didn't slide open... Zhai Ningle wiped his sweaty palms vigorously on his clothes, and this time, the call finally connected.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you take so long to answer the phone?" It was Ai Wei on the other end of the phone. After the two of them discussed it, he came forward to communicate the matter with the leader.
“…” Zhai Ningle did not reply. She just wanted to know whether the plan she proposed had been approved.
Listening to the shallow breathing on the other end of the line, Ai Wei also realized Zhai Ningle's nervousness. A smile appeared on his face, but his tone was flat. "There are two pieces of news. One good, one bad. Which one do you want to hear?"
"Hear the good news!"
"Your plan has been approved... by the leader. Hey, don't be so happy too soon," Ai Wei said in a heavy tone, "You haven't heard the bad news yet."
This sudden change made Zhai Ningle silent. In a short period of time, she thought a lot. Maybe the project leader let someone else take the lead, or maybe...
The original enthusiasm seemed to freeze suddenly, but after thinking for a moment, Zhai Ningle also became more open-minded. "Then tell me the bad news."
"Alas, I was not given the lead on this plan."
Zhai Ningle was a bit slow to react. When she heard Ai Wei's words, her mind automatically extended the words and tone. Suddenly, a surge of anger surged in her heart, and she wanted to kill the leader directly.
But the next second——
"Hey, the boss said you have a lot of ideas, so he wants you to be the team leader..."
“…”
Where Ai Wei couldn't see, Zhai Ningle had a blank expression on his face, raised his right middle finger, and mouthed the words "divine gold".
After hanging up the phone, she stared at the cover of Pioneer magazine on the screen. She was lost in thought for a moment before burying her face in her scarf, an uncontrollable smile hiding beneath it.

【Topic】Li Tao and Hui Anxin's cover photo shoot
[Main Post] Honestly, a supermodel is a supermodel! Maybe the previous mediocrity was all paving the way for this time kkkk Okay, I hope Hui Anxin can open a class to teach me how to pose. The inside pages just released by Fashion Pioneer are really beautiful!
Beauty is the epitome of our teacher Hui.

Zhou Xiao is such a great photographer; she captures the expressions in the stills so well. And this set of photos gives me the feeling that exaggerated makeup looks are made for supermodels! Normal people, including celebrities, wouldn't easily try it; after all, they're born to do it.
Of course, don’t try to force yourself to use the filters on Douyin! I don’t know what it will look like in real life [covering face.jpg]

I didn't think much of it before, but now, comparing it to Huijie's previous photo album, I really feel it's not as good as the ones in the main post. Yes, I think even the planning photos are better~ The relaxing feeling is awesome!

I feel like a certain blogger is going to start cosplaying this cyberpunk makeup hhhhh hoping to find the essence, especially the sense of power of this woman, which is what I feel most charming when I look closely at the cover [saliva]

Is this the top of the new season magazines? Although there are still magazine previews to be released, it seems that it will be hard to find anything that can rival this.
I have to say, Fashion Pioneer is really lucky… I just saw an entry on their official blog saying that this is the first magazine cover shot by Zhou Xiao after winning the award. It seems that the inside pages do care about this~
