Chapter 716: Chapter 716
If not erupting in silence, then just silently enduring...
Helplessness and sorrow lingered in Liu Zhizhong and Yang Bingbing's hearts, leaving them speechless for a long time.
Liu Zhizhong could only tightly embrace Yang Bingbing's fragrant shoulders as her small face pressed against his chest.
Liu Zhizhong's arms were so strong, and his inner flame so explosive, yet nothing actually exploded.
After a while, he finally said in a low tone, "Alright, Mr. L's latest work is about to be launched. Let me hold back the feeling of nausea and properly review these manuscripts!"
Yang Bingbing nodded gently, rising from his embrace, and said, "Zhizhong, this is tough for you."
"It's alright, glorifying suffering is expected; we should actually get used to it."
"It seems, deciding your throat is a problem, is appropriate."
"Mmm, the sooner the problem appears, the better!"
"But still, after Mr. Lei's funeral?"
Liu Zhizhong thought for a moment and said, "I think, at the funeral, I should indeed have some problems, neither too big nor too small." Googlᴇ search 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Let's talk later, work comes first."
Then, Yang Bingbing immediately left the President's Office to make space for Liu Zhizhong and to arrange the production process.
As the new executive president of the entertainment media company, Yang Bingbing was meticulous and responsible, which was both her responsibility and her style.
Feng Xiaoyue entrusted the company to her hands out of trust, and she did not want to let down that trust.
In the President's Office, Liu Zhizhong read through the latest manuscripts three times, filled with anger, sorrow, and helplessness, yet profoundly familiar with the material.
An hour later, Mr. L's latest work was to be released before midnight, rocketing into the trending searches.
The charm of an internet sensation was indeed formidable, overtaking several other negative news stories in popularity.
By this time, Liu Zhizhong had briefly hydrated, eaten a little food, washed up, taken medication to clear his throat, and thoroughly rinsed his throat, before he gathered his emotions and entered the recording studio to start the production process of this reluctant yet necessary work...
It took him over three hours to complete the initial recording, as Liu Zhizhong couldn't control his emotional fluctuations, leading to many imperfections and mistakes.
Recording the base track had never felt so disheveled before. Each mistake brought only a helpless smile, and once even resulted in an outburst of foul language!
However, the recording team, including Yang Bingbing supervising in real-time, were very understanding and tolerant of his mistakes, as the audio content for this session indeed made everyone uncomfortable.
Even Liu Zhizhong, a master at managing emotions, had moments he couldn't control, not to mention Yang Bingbing and the other staff.
Regardless, the initial recording was complete, and Liu Zhizhong could catch his breath. The post-production was being rushed as the release deadline drew closer.
At this time, fans on various short video platforms could hardly wait, leaving comments, guessing the potential content, and generating high enthusiasm, leading to trending ranks on platforms, but still falling short of suppressing the latest trending disaster.
Overall, Mr. L's new work was about to be released, with its peak trends ranging from fourth to sometimes fifth, and even tenth at times.
Yet, the traffic monetization potential of the work remained terrifying—within less than five hours, it reached a staggering 60 billion.
The company's operations team predicted that if the new work went live, it could achieve a hundred-billion level of consumer spending within an hour.
Liu Zhizhong, somewhat tired, returned to Yang Bingbing's President Office and sat down, sulking in silence.
Understanding his feelings, Yang Bingbing had already prepared top-notch cuisine, having the restaurant deliver it to the office.
"Zhizhong, cheer up and eat something. You've performed excellently; you're my hero, and that will never change. Your value far exceeds the potential billions to be made within an hour after release."
Liu Zhizhong silently nodded, accepting the chilled rice wine Yang Bingbing handed him, took a sip—it was fragrant and quite delightful.
He softly said, "Mr. L's decline starts tonight. This might be my last billion-level traffic monetization."
Yang Bingbing felt melancholic, "Ah… let's see how it goes! Damn it, a good hand messed up by interference!"
"But well, this could be good, as my throat ought to be troubling by now. Besides, the big fish wants to swallow up the company; seeing a decline in popularity, they might decide against acquiring it. Such ups and downs in the world are quite normal."
Hearing this, Yang Bingbing responded, "Hmm? Zhizhong, you make sense, how did I not think of that? Does that mean… we've got to do something big tonight?"
As she spoke, a charming smile played across her lovely face, her beautiful hands elegantly lifting the chilled rice wine glass in front of her, her eyes warmly gazing at Liu Zhizhong.
Liu Zhizhong smiled faintly, a blend of charisma and allure radiating from him as he too raised his wine glass, and in his warm, magnetic voice burst forth, "President Yang, shall we accomplish one big thing tonight, or shall we indeed do just that?"
