Chapter 335 – Magic Show! (2/2)

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and held it. He clenched his fist tightly for ten seconds, until his face turns red, before exhaling. “I remembered Political and Legal Committee Secretary Huang had drawn the first card. I will read out Secretary Huang’s card first. Secretary Huang, is your card 8 of Diamond?”

Huang Li smiled and lifted his card to show Dong Xuebing. He is holding on to 5 of Hearts.

Dong Xuebing knew he would guess wrongly, and quickly shouted BACK 3 seconds in his heart!

…….

Time returned to 3 seconds earlier.

“I remembered Political, and Legal Committee Secretary Huang had drawn the first card. I will read out Secretary Huang’s card first. Secretary Huang, is your card 5 of Hearts?”

Everyone turns to Huang Li.

Huang Li was stunned for a second and lifted his card. The camera zoomed in on the card he is holding. 5 of Hearts! Dong Xuebing had guessed it correctly!

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Next is Mayor Geng. 3 of spades!”

Geng Yuchao did not look at his card earlier and turns it over. Hah! It’s really 3 of spades! He raised it up towards the camera, and the audience cheered!

Someone among the audience shouted. “Don’t follow by order!”

“That’s right! Can you go by random order? What card am I holding?!” Someone else in the crowd shouted and lifted his card.

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Sure. Your card is… Ah… It’s a big card. Is it a King?”

That person was stunned and showed everyone his card. It’s really King.

Everyone in the audience can tell that it is not a coincidence for Dong Xuebing to guess three cards correctly in a row. Of course, Dong Xuebing channeling energy is all bullshit. There must be some techniques for him to remember the cards, or else, why is it called a magic trick? But no one knows how Dong Xuebing did it.

Xie Huilan smiled and said. “What about my card?”

“Mayor Xie’s card…” Dong Xuebing paused for a second and used BACK secretly. “It’s an advertisement card.”

Advertisement card is the extra card within a pack of the poker card, and advertisements are printed on it. Xie Huilan raised her card gracefully to show the camera. It is really an advertisement card!

Clap… clap… clap… the audience cheered. This magic trick is very interesting!

Xie Huilan smiled and looked at Dong Xuebing.

After that, Dong Xuebing used BACK to continue to guess everyone’s card.

Huang Li nodded. This Xiao Dong is very capable. Even without any preparations, he still can make such an outstanding performance. Now, Dong Xuebing only needs to finish his magic trick, and people might forget about performance. Of course, changing the performance last minute will still have some negative impact. The leaders will not care whether if Dong Xuebing has been setup. They are more concerned about how Dong Xuebing handles interpersonal relationships with other departments. The audience will push the blame to the organizers for messing up the performances.

But Dong Xuebing has no choice but only to minimize the severity of this incident.

Suppose Dong Xuebing can break the bricks gracefully and not tarnish his reputation as the Investment Promotion Agency’s head. In that case, it will be the best solution. But… this is not possible. Breaking bricks is only demonstrating brute strength, and the head of the Investment Promotion Agency should not be doing this in the first place.

After a while, the poker cards trick ended, and Dong Xuebing bowed.

Someone in the audience shouted. “Oh, when are you going to break the bricks with one hand?”

“That’s right. When are the bricks breaking performance starting? I am looking forward to it.”

“Oh, I almost forgot about it. Why is this performance changed to a magic show? What are the organizers doing? How can they make such a simple mistake?”

“Are you trying to trick people?”

The audience started to voice their displeasure. Those that were waiting for Dong Xuebing to make a fool of himself were insisting Dong Xuebing to perform the bricks breaking. Lui Dafa even started to clap. If Dong Xuebing really breaks bricks, he will be the laughing stock of the whole County.

Xie Huilan and Huang Li frowned.

Qin Yong started winking and making eyes at Dong Xuebing to signal him to leave the stage. At least he had performed something now.
