"Mr. Xia, what did you think of your singing just now?"
"very good."
"Mr. Xia, you flatter me. I know that the new play must have many shortcomings, so please do not hesitate to give me your guidance!"
Xia Zhi nodded and pondered for a moment.
He then began to point out some of the existing problems to her and offered suggestions for improvement.
Of course, this only applies to the lyrics.
Miss Yun Jin's movements were beautiful, but there are still areas that need improvement.
However, since his character is blind and cannot see, he couldn't say much.
Yun Jin listened intently, her eyes growing brighter.
"Miss Yun Jin, in my opinion, these are the parts of the new play that still need polishing."
"Thank you, Mr. Xia!"
"You're welcome."
"However, Mr. Xia, I still don't quite understand the change in the melody and singing style of those few lines of lyrics you just mentioned. Could you please sing them for me?"
"This one……"
"Cousin, sing! We want to hear it!"
"Forehead……"
"Yes, boss, we all want to hear it!"
"I really can't do anything with you guys... Well then, I'll try singing."
"Wait! I haven't turned on the tape recorder yet!"
"Me too!"
"Alright, cousin, you can sing now."
"Uh-huh!"
Xia Zhi stood up, cleared her throat, and began to sing a cappella.
"Finals transform into the Dark Sea, tail touches distant mountains..."
Xia Zhi sang a new version of the song that he had already revised himself.
Moreover, he felt this was also a good opportunity to test the [Enchanting Voice] feature, so he tried using [Siren's Voice] while singing.
Compared to "The Mermaid's Voice," "The Siren's Voice," while also carrying the charm of the sea, is not as gentle.
If I had to describe them, one would be like a calm seabed, and the other like a raging storm.
The story of "Hai Shan Zhuan" is a fierce battle between humans and sea monsters, so the "Siren's Voice" is the most suitable song to sing it.
The girls listened intently.
As Xia Zhi sang, they felt as if they were standing on the ship of the Southern Cross, witnessing firsthand the scenes of the Big Dipper's bloody battle against the sea and mountains.
The song ended.
The girls, however, remained immersed in the world of opera.
It seems that [Enchanting Words] is working quite well.
Xia Zhi sat down and quietly drank tea while waiting.
After a while, the girls slowly came to their senses and exclaimed in amazement.
"Boss, you sing so well!"
"Thank you."
"Mr. Xia's voice is so pleasant to hear!"
"Thank you for your compliment, Miss Yanfei."
……
Yun Jin's expression was the most astonished.
Her face was flushed a captivating crimson with intense excitement and an unusual thrill, and her eyes were fixed intently on Xia Zhi.
She didn't seem like a big star at that moment, but rather one of his most fervent fans.
It doesn't matter, since Xia Zhi is blind anyway, we can just pretend we can't see him.
"Miss Yun Jin, did you find anything?"
"Yes! Thank you so much, Mr. Xia! You sang so well! It's such a pity you can't perform on stage!"
"Haha, I only sing opera as a hobby, and I have no intention of becoming famous."
"Ugh……"
Yun Jin's eyes revealed a deep sense of regret.
She turned her head and saw Xiangling beside her.
Xiangling happened to turn her head and look over as well.
The two people looked at each other.
At the same time, I noticed a certain emotion hidden in the other person's eyes.
Yun Jin thought of the new dishes Xiang Ling had made before and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.
But there are differences. Xiangling is Mr. Xia's apprentice, so she can seek guidance from her master whenever she wants, unlike me...
Ah, I really wish I could hear Mr. Xia sing opera every day.
Yun Jin withdrew her gaze and sighed silently in her heart.
……
The girls are taking a bath together in the bathtub.
"Master Hu, you seem to have grown a bit!"
"right!"
"Let me see...it does seem a bit too big?"
"It's true! My clothes felt a bit tight the other day!"
"Huh? Which one?"
"It's the one I always wear, Akabane-nee! Let's go buy new clothes together in a few days!"
"Sure, I'll buy it for you since I'll be getting paid soon anyway!"
Zhu Zi remembered: "Oh right, the boss said last time that we would be given a year-end bonus."
What is a year-end bonus?
"The boss said it's a reward for the employees' work over the past year! Ms. Gan Yu, doesn't your Yuehai Pavilion offer that?"
"No……"
"Oh, I thought you guys had them too."
Ying'er laughed beside her.
Gan Yu glanced at Ning Guang silently.
Yes, why doesn't our Moon Sea Pavilion have one?
I've been working very hard over the past year!
Ningguang said seriously, "Secretary Gan Yu, rest assured, Yuehaiting will not treat anyone who works hard unfairly. We will also give out year-end bonuses in the future."
Gan Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Mm."
Keqing coughed and reminded him, "Ningguang, the national situation is not good this year, and the Seven Stars don't have much surplus food either..."
Ning Guang said, "Don't worry, it will come from my private vault."
Although she demolished one Qunyu Pavilion and rebuilt another this year, spending a lot of money, she later collaborated with Mr. Xia and made new investments in multiple industries such as papermaking, lipstick, hand cream, and whitening cream. It is foreseeable that she will be rolling in money next year and will really not be short of cash.
After everyone soaked in the bath and chatted for a while, Hu Tao couldn't wait to run out of the pool: "I'm going to find Mr. Xia for a massage first!"
The girls smiled and nodded kindly.
Hu Tao went to the back hall and saw Xia Zhi sitting there waiting.
"Mr. Xia!"
"Master Hu has arrived."
"Hehe, I'll have to trouble you again today."
"It's alright, would you like an aromatherapy massage again?"
"Hmm! I don't think I slept well last night. I feel a bit tightness in my chest. I'd like to ask Mr. Xia to give me a massage this time."
"I understand."
