"Don't even say it, being praised by Feng Xiaoyue in such a manner was quite comforting for Liu Zhizhong."
Watching her cheerful and excited demeanor, like Columbus having discovered a new continent, Liu Zhizhong anticipated even more inwardly.
Being with a woman of profound background and winning her favor was a great achievement. Such were the people and affairs of the world.
Liu Zhizhong modestly said, "Director Feng, you flatter me too much. I was merely inspired by those exquisite promotional snippets. What are your thoughts? I'm all ears."
"It's different from hearing about someone to seeing them in person, and in our meeting this afternoon, I found your voice quality and tone quite unique and enchanting. If for this provincial tourism promotional video, we replaced the original narrator with Secretary Liu, would you dare to give it a try?"
Liu Zhizhong was genuinely flabbergasted.
Looking at the expectant look in Feng Xiaoyue's eyes and her beautiful, artistic smile, he found it somewhat hard to refuse.
However, as a genius of the officialdom, he still had to put on an act.
Liu Zhizhong shook his head, picked up his tea to drink, then set it down again. "No, Director Feng, how could I possibly do narration? The provincial station is filled with classically trained excellent broadcasters and narrators, each one no less capable than I. In front of these provincial big shots, I'm just a novice, totally lacking confidence in narration!"
With his unique magnetic voice, warm tone, and subtle humor, he managed to make Feng Xiaoyue feel a ticklish sensation inside, finding his words enjoyable and anticipatory.
Feng Xiaoyue clapped her tablet closed. "Secretary Liu, you can't be so self-deprecating! Alright, I've decided. The scriptwriter for the Provincial Cultural Tourism promotional video will be Liu Zhizhong, and the narrator will be Liu Zhizhong!"
"Ah? You've decided just like that?" Liu Zhizhong looked genuinely bewildered, performing to his true capabilities.
Actually, inside, a little figure was jumping excitedly, extraordinarily thrilled.
"Yes, it's you. I am the director of the provincial cultural tourism promotional video, and I have the power to choose cast members, including the narrator. As for your work, I will have someone send a message, it won't affect anything. Put Yangzhou's matters aside for now, let's focus on the Provincial Propaganda project first!"
Goodness, with this female director's tone and presence, how could you still see her merely as an exceptional, beautiful mature woman?
No! She seemed like a character who could call the winds and summon the rain even in officialdom!
Liu Zhizhong could only nod, "Alright then, Director Feng has decided, what more can I say? In front of a knowledgeable and imposing director like you, it's best I play a sensible narrator." Fınd the newest release on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵
Feng Xiaoyue smiled, her eyes sparkling actively, her smile suddenly sweet. She actually had dimples, cloyingly sweet ones. Her alluring, plump red lips paired with shiny, exquisite teeth, ah... utterly bewitching to men!
Then, right in front of Liu Zhizhong, Feng Xiaoyue actually made a call to the company, confirming Liu Zhizhong's role. The company was a bit surprised but immediately expressed no problem, saying they'd speak with the top male broadcaster at the provincial station, no need for him anymore, they'd use Liu Zhizhong.
"All set, hehe..." Feng Xiaoyue clapped her lovely bare hands, looking very happy, "Secretary Liu, how about... we try out the sound this afternoon? You deliver a segment on the spot?"
Liu Zhizhong could only offer a resigned smile, "Ah, at this point, I have no choice but to comply. Which segment shall we do?"
"Let me check..." Feng Xiaoyue reopened her tablet and really flipped through it. "Hmm, how about... 'Dongjiang Dawn Moon'?"
Dongjiang Dawn Moon, it was a particularly famous scenic spot in the Provincial City, quite renowned at least within the province.
Liu Zhizhong nodded and surprisingly even lit a cigarette.
In the spreading smoke, his handsome face closed his eyes.
Feng Xiaoyue was shocked; this guy was too handsome, too charismatic, every gesture was filled with flair!
Perhaps he was brewing something? Maybe he'd open his eyes to look at the script in a bit?
But unexpectedly, with his eyes closed, Liu Zhizhong delivered a frenzied narration:
"As the night gently flowed away, the winding, thousand-mile Dongjiang welcomed the dawn moon of summer. The river breeze, lingering and gentle, caressed every reed, passing through timeless eons, just to witness..."
Feng Xiaoyue's lips stretched wide, her eyes full of amazement!
This moving narration, this ear-pleasing quality of sound, wave after wave, assaulted her hearing, penetrated her soul, bringing her endless pleasure.
Slowly, she too closed her eyes, enjoying this extraordinary voice of heaven.
This genius... no, celestial talent!
In Feng Xiaoyue's heart, he was a man of celestial talent.
He apparently didn't need the script, picking it up effortlessly, flowing smoothly, deeply ingrained in his memory.
This astonishing memory earned exclamations of admiration, leaving no one unimpressed.
When Liu Zhizhong finished narrating, he opened his eyes to find the beauty across from him like a jade statue, arms crossed in front of a heaving chest. She leaned back on the sofa, in an artistic enjoyment pose, her face full of enchantment, looking like a serene, beautiful painting that took one's breath away.
Inside the room, a unique tranquility settled, not eerie, as the tea fragrance lingered, the rich aroma of bitter coffee spreading...
