Beauty Magazine is currently the most prestigious magazine in the world and a fashion trendsetter. As the editor-in-chief of the magazine, my sister also bears an extremely heavy responsibility.
As soon as she had breakfast in the morning, she couldn't wait to go to the company, and her driver was waiting downstairs early.
Because of the senior sister's invitation, Ling Xiaowei also followed her to visit her company.
This will be a very good learning opportunity for her. Visiting a large company is not a common opportunity.
So Ling Xiaowei was still very happy. She arrived at the company in her senior sister's car. The senior sister was dressed in fashionable clothes and walked with wind. In order to take care of her, she walked a little slowly today.
When we arrive at the company lobby, everyone who comes in front of us will greet the senior sister.
Without exception, they all called the editor-in-chief. Those people even glanced at Ling Xiaowei curiously, but no one dared to comment on the senior sister's strong aura.
Senior sister's office is on the top floor, on the twelfth floor. This is the highest building in this area.
As soon as Senior Sister stepped onto the twelfth floor, she saw that the people on that floor were all nervous, including those on the phone, those immersed in work, and some waiting in line with documents for Senior Sister to sign.
As soon as she entered the office, assistant Aileen immediately brought the coffee she had brewed herself. When she saw Ling Xiaowei was there, she immediately said: "Xiaowei, what do you want to drink? A cup of coffee, okay?"
?” (All English here are translated into Chinese for the convenience of reading! Okay! To be honest, the author’s English was taught by a physical education teacher.)
"Okay!" Ling Xiaowei doesn't like coffee very much, it's bitter, but she found that foreigners like it quite a bit.
After a while, Irene brought her a cup of brewed coffee, with sugar cubes in the small tray. Ling Xiaowei scooped some with a small spoon and took a sip. It was so bitter!
"Xiaowei, you're not used to drinking! I'll ask Irene to buy you a caramel macchiato. The one is sweeter." After the senior sister finished speaking, she picked up the phone.
"Senior sister, no need, I don't drink coffee!" Before Ling Xiaowei finished speaking, senior sister had already given the order.
"I'll deal with today's work first. You read these magazines first. When I'm done, I'll show you around here." The senior sister smiled at Ling Xiaowei.
Her smile was kind and gentle. It was so different from the cool face she had when she first joined the company. Ling Xiaowei suddenly felt like she was being loved. The senior sister was very gentle to her!
Ling Xiaowei picked up the magazines on the bookshelf. These were beauty magazines. They looked very high-end from the printing and paper used. Looking at the cover photos of these magazines and the content and layout inside, they were all popular styles of this era.
.
This style seems to be very popular now, but for people like Ling Xiaowei who have read magazines from ten years ago, these are really ordinary.
No matter from the printing, typesetting or the photos inside, it was not satisfactory. She flipped through the last issue of the magazine, read it for a while, and then closed it because it was uninteresting.
Then pick up the next one.
After a while, there was a knock on the office door. Senior sister's subordinates came to report on their work. One document after another was handed into the hands of senior sister, as well as documents from other departments that needed to be signed, one after another.
Then Irene came with coffee and pastries. Ling Xiaowei ate some cakes, coffee, and read magazines. This little life was so wonderful. Seeing the senior sister reading one report after another, Ling Xiaowei felt sad.
I feel so sorry.
"Xiaowei, I'm going to a meeting, do you want to come with me?" Senior sister suddenly said to Ling Xiaowei.
"Is it appropriate for me to go?" Ling Xiaowei hesitated.
"What's inappropriate? Let's go! Let's study." Fu Rong said with a smile. Seeing that there were black cake crumbs on Ling Xiaowei's mouth, she took a tissue and wiped her mouth clean.
"Thank you, senior sister!" Ling Xiaowei thanked with a smile.
"Don't be so polite to me." Fu Rong really liked Xiaowei more and more, and she felt vaguely close to Xiaowei as if she were her daughter, and she deliberately wanted Ling Xiaowei to become a fashion editor.
guide.
If Xiaowei likes this industry, she will definitely support it in the future.
After a while, Ling Xiaowei followed her senior sister to the meeting. She listened as a bystander and learner. She really understood the process of starting a fashion magazine from scratch.
Today's meeting was mainly about topic selection and film selection. There were editors, art editors, and photographers present. Four or five people discussed it for two or three hours, and then initially decided on the theme for the next month.
After the meeting, the senior sister finally had some free time. She also started to fulfill the main purpose of today. She took Xiaowei to visit the company and left from the office area. Downstairs, Ling Xiaowei discovered that this company is really big. There are
There is a dressing room, a cloakroom, and a photo studio. Walking through each one is really eye-opening.
At the same time, Ling Xiaowei learned a lot, and also learned that running a magazine well is really not that simple. In fact, Ling Xiaowei has always had such a dream in her heart, to make her own fashion weekly and let people in China
, all understand fashion and remind themselves of their own taste and personal charm.
She just thought about these things before, because she had never been exposed to them and didn't know how to do them, so she only dared to think about them. But today, she understood the entire operating rules and process, and she started to have some thoughts.
Lunch here is very simple, a cup of coffee, a sandwich, or a few cookies.
The most important thing is dinner, and I may not be able to go back to eat tonight's dinner. When I went out in the morning, the senior sister said hello to the master and his wife, and she will not come back for dinner because she has an appointment in the evening.
The so-called appointment was to go to a reception held by CC Group, the company that recruited Ling Xiaowei for contract design.
As soon as noon passed, Ling Xiaowei followed her senior sister to the CC Group. The senior sister went to borrow clothes. Their magazine was going to promote the company's autumn and winter styles next month. She also took the opportunity to take Ling Xiaowei to visit the company's studio.
I heard that this company specializes in high-end couture, and the clothes they produce are all hand-made. Ling Xiaowei was so happy when her senior sister told her to take her to visit the factory of this company!
This is a great opportunity to learn from my master! You must not miss it.
After more than half an hour's drive, Ling Xiaowei saw the studio of a legendary international brand in a building not far from the city.
There is no luxury as imagined. In the large open workshop, everyone is like a craftsman, doing the work of their own hands meticulously.
Every accessory that comes out of the hands of these workers is made by hand, stitch by stitch, and the resulting works really stand up to scrutiny. Even in the era of industrial machine pandemic, truly good craftsmanship will never be eliminated.
of.
Ling Xiaowei learned a lot of hand-making skills and got to know some machines she had never seen before.
