Chapter Eighteen: Her Radio Debut Sparks a Craze
The voice was so beautiful it was like heavenly music; Fu Hengzhi had no idea that there was such a beautiful singer among the broadcasters in Jiangcheng.
His cutting motion stopped.
Meanwhile, outside the broadcasting room of the "Heartbeat Voice" program in the GX Radio building, a tall figure stood quietly, his dark pupils fixed on Su Muci, who was broadcasting for the first time, through the louvered glass wall.
Huo Junyan approached from the side: "Uncle..."
"Sh-!"
He made a gesture and then focused intently on Su Muci inside.
Huo Zhan, who had never frowned when discussing international cooperation worth tens of billions, found his palms sweating unknowingly at this moment.
He worried about her repeatedly.
Are you nervous about your first time broadcasting?
If the broadcast results are bad, will you be so sad that you hide in your apartment and cry alone again?
These thoughts piled up, and Huo Zhan felt as if he were being roasted over a fire.
In the broadcasting studio, Sister Loulan asked in a low voice with her unique, mature tone, "Little sister Susu, do you know how I felt when I first met you?"
What is it?
The shy yet gentle voice made listeners who had unintentionally switched to this radio station unconsciously slow down their breathing.
Sister Loulan continued, "You are wearing a pure white dress, with long, gentle hair, and a silk bow hairpin on your head. You give me the feeling of a virtuous lady from ancient times, well-behaved and quiet."
This deliberate description easily conjures up an image of the new anchor in people's minds, immediately causing a small stir in the industry.
Loulan is a celebrity in the radio industry, so why is she suddenly giving such high praise to a newcomer?
Could it be that GX Radio has some new plans?
Faced with Loulan's high praise, "Susu" calmly replied, "Loulan, since you say so, I can only confess. I am indeed a time traveler from ancient times."
...
[Friends, listen up! The new female host on GX Radio claims she's from another time!]
Oh? That's interesting! I'll go check it out too!
...
"Oh? You've traveled from ancient times?" In the broadcasting room, Sister Loulan performed according to her prepared lines: "Can you sing ancient music? I believe our listeners are very interested in ancient vocal music."
Loulan's words instantly piqued the audience's curiosity.
Su Muci did not refuse and replied gently, "Then I will sing 'Picking Ferns' first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the background music that had been prepared beforehand began to play.
Accompanied by melodious and gentle background music, Su Muci sang softly in her unique and gentle voice:
"When I left, the willows were swaying gently..."
"Now I come to think of it, and the rain and snow are falling heavily..."
As soon as the voice came out, the radio station's listenership index soared exponentially, because she wasn't singing this song about picking wild herbs in modern language, but in ancient language, which immediately created a sense of time travel!
"Walking slowly on the road, we are both thirsty and hungry."
"My heart is grieved, none know my sorrow..."
The unique and poignant melody caused radio listenership to surge.
Upon seeing the data, Deputy Director Huo Junyan excitedly said to Huo Zhan beside him, "Uncle, look! The data is rising so fast!"
Huo Zhan lowered his eyes and looked at the phone screen that Huo Junyan handed him.
The listening data is synchronized in real time.
He glanced at her, then looked up again at Su Muci in the broadcasting room, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
It's gratifying—for a newcomer, achieving this result in their debut is already quite remarkable.
But there is also a sense of loss—this ancient-style song depicts the scene of ancient soldiers returning to their homeland after going to war, only to find that everything has changed. However, this bittersweet feeling also subtly reflects her feelings for her ex-boyfriend.
She once had high hopes for that man, longed for a happy future together, and even proposed to him publicly.
But when I looked back, the place was deserted.
He could hear the heartbreak in her melody, and he could hear her unrequited love for Fu Hengzhi.
Her obsession with Fu Hengzhi made Huo Zhan's jaw involuntarily tighten, and his desire to kill Fu Hengzhi grew a hundredfold.
Many of the listeners at the radio station who listened to this song were far from their hometowns, busy in big cities, and they were moved to tears.
[Did she sing this herself? It's so beautiful...]
This new broadcaster's voice is absolutely comparable to that of a pop star!
I'm going to listen to her radio show every day from now on. Does she have a personal account? If anyone knows, please share!
Many car enthusiast groups and work groups were buzzing with excitement.
Loulan was also somewhat shocked. Su Muci hadn't used any ancient language during rehearsals, yet she gave such a big surprise when the show officially started airing!
This ancient Chinese song earned GX Radio an 8% listenership, making it the second most popular radio station in its time slot after Chow's Radio, breaking GX Radio's best daytime performance in nearly ten years.
"It seems you've prepared quite a few side jobs to become famous? Where did you learn those ancient phrases?"
After the broadcast ended, Sister Loulan took off her headphones and asked a meaningful question.
Su Muci did not shy away from the question: "My mother taught me."
The most common impression people in Jiangcheng have of Zhou's Group's chairman's first wife is that she had mental problems and committed suicide by jumping off a building.
Few people know that Su Muci's mother, Su Nuan, was a radio singer who could sing not only classical Chinese songs but also folk songs, which boosted the Zhou family's business traffic in its early stages.
Zhou Wangyuan said that her singing voice was beautiful and he only wanted to enjoy it alone, so Su Nuan was willing to stay behind the scenes and cook for him.
The final outcome was bleak and tragic.
Loulan seemed skeptical upon hearing Su Muci's reply: "Really? With such talent, you must be quite famous in Jiangcheng. May I have the honor of visiting your mother?"
Su Muci was slightly taken aback, her eyes darkening slightly.
"My mother has passed away."
"..."
Loulan was slightly taken aback.
Looking at the girl in front of me, I thought she was only in her early twenties and her mother was at most in her forties. I never expected it to turn out like this.
"Su Su, your debut performance was very good, but our listeners are very discerning. In particular, Zhou's Radio has many singing stars under its banner. If you only rely on singing ancient songs, you will be eliminated soon."
"In this line of work, talent alone is not enough; you also have to constantly offer something new."
As Su Muci listened to the guidance of her senior, Sister Loulan, she walked out. When she stepped out of the broadcasting room, she suddenly bumped into two men.
Huo Zhan was wearing a perfectly pressed black suit, with his shirt and tie neatly trimmed.
Huo Junyan was standing next to him.
Sister Loulan greeted the two of them: "Deputy Director Huo."
Then, turning to Su Muci, he said, "You should rest for a while. I'll train you again this afternoon."
"Thank you, Master."
Su Muci politely watched Loulan leave.
When she turned back, Huo Junyan had already tactfully left, leaving only her and Huo Zhan in the corridor.
Huo Zhan gazed at the faint blush on her face, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Congratulations, the premiere was a great success."
Su Muchi smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Deputy Director Huo, for giving me this opportunity."
Huo Zhan's smile vanished instantly, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Deputy Director?"
