Dong Xuebing cursed in his heart. This bastard still has some tricks up his sleeves.
Wei Nan smiled confidently and turned to face Xie Huilan. He took out a long black handkerchief from his pocket. "Look carefully. I only have a handkerchief in my hand, and nothing else." Wei Nan shook the handkerchief and saw Xie Huilan nodding in interest. He laughed and held the handkerchief in his hand. Suddenly, he shook his wrist, and a beautiful rose appeared in his hand without any warning!
Xie Hao, who was exposed, was furious. "Come at me. I want to see what you can do."
Huh? I can't hide it from Sister Xie. But considering the current atmosphere, Dong Xuebing can't tell her anything.
Xie Haoai greeted a long-haired man. "Sis, Brother Wei." With Xie Huilan around, he doesn't dare to do anything.
"Ok. I will show you the card you picked earlier. Hehe … you don't believe me, right? Wait and see! " Xie Hao happily took the cards from Dong Xuebing. He did not even flip the cards over and started throwing them on the table. After throwing more than a dozen cards, Xie Hao suddenly stopped. He flipped the card in his hand and said. "Is this the card?" It's the Five of Diamonds.
Getting engaged soon? Dong Xuebing is disgusted. Damn!
"Haha … you go first." Wei Nan had heard from Xie Huilan's mother that she likes magic and had prepared a magic show for today. He had wanted to perform it at the cinema and see if he can kiss her. But since Xie Huilan cannot watch the whole movie, he might as well start the show now. Wei Nan is very confident in this magic show as he had spent a lot of money to learn it from a third-rate magician.
Xie Huilan smiled. "It's only a movie. I don't need to ask my mother to call me in the future."
Dong Xuebing replied. "That's right. We had fought over the seats."
Xie Huilan smiled and shook her head. She did not say anything. She seems to be in a difficult position.
The leaders of the General Affairs Office had special privileges. But the leaders of the General Affairs Office were special. They were responsible for the logistics of the branch, and the higher-ups could call them anytime to assign tasks. If the leaders of the General Affairs Office were to leave, who would the leaders look for? This was not like the Political Section and Commission for Discipline Inspection. Not many leaders in the General Affairs Office dare to leave work early. Also, this early will leave a bad impression to the leaders. But the person who left early was Chief Xiao Dong. Even Chief Zhen could not say anything about it because he was Chief Xiao Dong.
Wei Nan said, "It's okay, work is more important."
Xie Hao went crazy and grabbed Dong Xuebing's arm. "Brother Dong! You're too f * cking amazing! " Xie Huilan and Wei Nan were also shocked. The packaging of that box was never opened, and Dong Xuebing had never spoken to that man. It was Xie Hao who pointed to that box. But no one expected Dong Xuebing to know that it was a 1 RMB coin when even the owner of the box did not know the year of the coin. How did Dong Xuebing know that it was a 1 RMB coin?!
Xie Hao took the card back from Dong Xuebing. "Ok. This is it? I don't see any cards. " He then placed the card back and shuffled it over and over again. After that, he passed the card back to Xie Huilan. "Sis, you will be worried if I shuffle it. You can shuffle it however you like."
This was just too f * cking ridiculous!!
Xie Hao immediately shouted. "Damn! This is really a 1 RMB coin from 1992! "
Beiwei Road T-junction.
Dong Xuebing paid the bill and alighted from the taxi. He frowned and wanted to tell Xie Hao not to smoke. But he remembered that he was not Xie Hao's parent, and Xie Hao would not like to hear him scold him. So, he swallowed his words. "Xiao Hao, have you waited for a long time?"
At 4 pm, Dong Xuebing carried his bag and left work early.
In front of Maxim Restaurant.
There was no need to think about it. The only person Dong Xuebing knew who had the power to do this was Xie Huilan.
Dong Xuebing sighed in his heart. Xie Huilan was from a powerful family, and many things were out of her control. No wonder Xie Huilan was almost 30 years old and still single. She did not want to listen to her family and marry a businessman. She wanted to marry someone from the government. Sigh … Every family has its own difficulties.
When Wei Nan heard pearl necklace, she remembered who Dong Xuebing was. She paused for a while and laughed. "Oh, it's you. I thought you look familiar."
Dong Xuebing was not doing magic. Actually, after Xie Hao pointed at the box, Dong Xuebing had used BACK to look at the item inside!
Wei Nan calmed herself down and nodded. "I will listen to you wherever I go in the future." Xie Huilan had always been domineering in front of her colleagues and friends. Wei Nan, who was about to be engaged to Xie Huilan, could not get used to it. He followed Xie Huilan's footsteps and acted like he was Xie Huilan's subordinate. Wei Nan liked everything about Xie Huilan, except for this. But Wei Nan's father might be famous in the business world, but he was nothing compared to Xie Huilan's family. If it wasn't for the fact that Old Xie was close to Wei Nan's father and Senior Xie wanted to marry into a business family, Wei Nan would not get the chance to marry into the Xie family. Even though Wei Nan was unhappy, he had to follow Xie Huilan's footsteps.
Two seconds …
Xie Hao does not know why Dong Xuebing is unhappy. But when he saw Dong Xuebing's expression, he replied. "You don't need to thank me. My sister and I had thanked Brother Dong." He was implying that Dong Xuebing should not be the one thanking him.
Xie Huilan smiled. "Oh, I see."
But Wei Nan laughed. "Ok!"
Xie Huilan and Wei Nan took in a deep breath and stared at Dong Xuebing!
But Dong Xuebing's performance earlier … … is not magic!
Wei Nan? Why does this name sound so familiar?
This kind of high-class western restaurant requires customers to wear formal wear. Dong Xuebing was still fine as he was wearing a jacket. But Xie Hao, who had just finished school, was wearing his school uniform. Xie Hao did not mind seeing all the customers in suits. He walked to the front and pulled out two chairs. "Sis, Brother Dong, have a seat."
Xie Hao was surprised.
Xie Huilan and Wei Nan immediately understood what Dong Xuebing was thinking. They stood up and was about to leave.
Xie Hao, Wei Nan, and the rest were stunned by the number!
Wei Nan was standing very close to Xie Huilan. "Yes. This friend had bid for the pearl necklace for Aunty at the auction."
Dong Xuebing listened to Xie Hao and said. "Your sister is very successful in the government service. She is a Deputy Divisional Chief before she is 30. Shouldn't she be looking for someone in the government service?"
Xie Hao was stunned. "What's wrong? Brother Wei also knows magic? Haha … … I want to know more. "
Who?
Wei Nan frowned. "Xiao Hao, Xiao Dong doesn't need to guess. I can tell you that there is a diamond ring in the box."
Xie Hao, who was wearing his school uniform, squatted by the roadside and smoked.
Xie Hao almost cursed out loud. He really does not want Wei Nan to be his brother-in-law. He wants Wei Nan to be his brother-in-law. He wants Wei Nan to be a good looking, educated, and well-educated man. When Xie Hao heard the word 'engagement', he replied. "That's right. If this is the case, then you should thank Brother Dong. If Brother Dong had not performed CPR on my sister, we will not be able to see her." He was trying to disgust Xie Hao.
Dong Xuebing laughed, and everyone entered the restaurant.
Wei Nan looked at Dong Xuebing coldly and then turned to Xie Huilan. "Huilan, I had booked a private room. Shall we go and watch a movie?"
"Let's go to Bei Wei Road. It is close to your school."
With a topic to talk about, the atmosphere at the table warmed up. Xie Huilan started to talk about red wine. She seems to know a lot about red wine.
Xie Huilan was stunned!
Xie Hao suddenly cursed. "Brother Dong, are you going to give my sister a gift to ask her for help?"
"Sigh … this is unnecessary. You are the one who saved my sister's life. How can she not help you? Why are you giving her a gift? "Xie Hao took out his phone from his pocket." I will call my sister now! "
Xie Hao replied. "A man called Wei Nan. His father, Uncle Wei, is close to my family. My father had been trying to matchmake Wei Nan and my sister. I respect Uncle Wei as he is the boss of a medical equipment company. He has a good family background and is well-educated. But that Wei Nan … … Tsk … … I don't like him. How can he match up to my sister? My sister also does not like him! Hmph, if it wasn't for the fact that my grandfather insisted on marrying into a business family and even chose Wei Nan, I would have f * cking kicked him to death! "
This is the first time Dong Xuebing left early. He is too ambitious and can't keep his thoughts to himself.
One second … …
Dong Xuebing knew Xie Hao was trying to find a way out of this awkward situation. Other than a diamond ring, there should be nothing else in that box. It must be a proposal from a man.
Wei Nan almost cursed out loud!
Xie Huilan laughed. "Interesting … … This is interesting. I often see this on TV, but I don't know how people do it. Hahaha … … Today is an eye-opener." Xie Huilan paused for a second and continued. "Alright. Xiao Hao should be convinced now. Let's go and watch the movie. But can you tell me how you did it after the movie?"
"It's really an eye-opener. I've never seen such a wonderful magic show in my life, and it's even an impromptu magic show without any preparation. This is even more difficult. Even those shows on the Spring Festival Eve can't compare to this one!" Xie Huilan laughed and turned to look at Wei Nan. "Sorry. I can't go back on my words. Xiao Dong's magic is too amazing. Haha … … I think I can only leave with Xiao Dong today."
After dinner, the waitress started to serve dessert.
Xie Hao was stunned!
Dong Xuebing stared at Wei Nan. Damn! This guy had stolen the limelight! Sister Xie really likes magic tricks!
Wei Nan glanced at Dong Xuebing, and his eyes turned cold.
Xie Huilan smiled and took out a five of diamonds.
But Wei Nan said. "Haha … … you did not look at the back of the card when you took it from Xie Huilan, but your fingernails had marked the back of the card, right?" Dong Xuebing looked at the five of diamonds, and there was a fingernail mark on it. "That's why I can tell which card Xie Huilan chose from the back."
Wei Nan was stunned!
Dong Xuebing nodded in his heart. This Xie Hao is quite cute.
Wei Nan interrupted. "Xiao Hao, let Xiao Dong tell you. The movie is about to start."
Xie Hao was also stunned. "… … Did you hide the flowers somewhere?"
After confirming the location, Dong Xuebing hailed a taxi and rushed there. Previously, Dong Xuebing did not tell Xie Huilan about Xie Hao's incident at State Security, and Xie Hao had called him several times to express his gratitude. He even sent Dong Xuebing a congratulatory message on the 15th. After this incident, Dong Xuebing and Xie Hao had gotten closer.
Wei Nan smiled and nodded at Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Hao, you are here. Who is this?" Wei Nan looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing almost fainted. He also wants to change, but how can he know magic?!
"Wait!" Xie Hao, who was embarrassed, was furious. "Sis, you said we should follow the person who can perform magic tricks better? My Brother Dong is still the same. "Xie Hao looked at Dong Xuebing with anticipation." Brother Dong! Give me a try! "
Xie Hao laughed. "Since Brother Dong is looking for me, I must be here as soon as possible. One or two lessons are nothing."
Under everyone's gaze, the man opened the box, and a silver light flashed!
Dong Xuebing knew the flowers must have been hidden beforehand, or else, they will not appear out of thin air. But he could not tell how the flowers were hidden. If not, it will not be called magic.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "It's magic, and some tricks cannot be revealed. I'm sorry. I cannot tell you."
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing paused for a while and smiled. "Actually, that is not a diamond ring. It is a 1992 1 RMB coin. Haha …"
Only Dong Xuebing did not look at it and did not say a word.
Xie Huilan and Wei Nan looked at the coin, and Xie Hao also looked over.
Dong Xuebing walked to the train station and frowned. It's not easy for him to transfer from State Security to the Public Security system. Dong Xuebing's relationship with the Bureau's leaders was good, but because he had made many contributions, Xu Yan and Zhen Anguo will not let him go. They will not transfer him to the Public Security system, and he can only get someone else to transfer him to the Public Security system.
Xie Huilan laughed. "Since when did you change your looks?"
Xie Hao replied. "Didn't you ask me to study hard? Can I?"
1992!
Dong Xuebing had saved Xie Huilan's life before, and if it's nothing else, he would have called Xie Huilan. But because of the stockings incident, Dong Xuebing had used Xie Huilan's stockings to do something shameful, and Sister Xie found out about it. Dong Xuebing felt he should not ask Xie Huilan for help.
Dong Xuebing nodded embarrassedly. "Err … I guess so."
Xie Hao cleared his throat and knew his sister was unhappy with his words. He did not dare to say anything else.
The chandelier above them shone on the box. It is not a diamond ring, earrings, or necklace. It is … … a shiny silver 1 RMB coin!!
"Are you skipping classes? When I passed by your Yu Cai Middle School, no one is coming out. "
Xie Hao got excited. "Brother Dong, are you going to fight? No problem! Where are you? I will bring my men over! "
"Wait! Wait! " Xie Hao thought for a while and points to the table beside them. A man and a woman in their thirties are sitting at the table. They should be a couple, and they had finished their dinner. There is a bouquet of roses on the table, and there is a small box. "That box. Brother Dong, guess what is in that box. If you guess it correctly, my sister will leave with you!"
Dong Xuebing is furious. He admires Xie Huilan, and he does not want Xie Huilan to get married. He does not want her to marry Wei Nan. But no matter how angry he is, he must suppress his anger. The Central Government Leader is standing beside them, and he does not want to leave a bad impression. He smiles at Wei Nan. "Nice to meet you. How is the pearl necklace?"
Xie Hao was furious. "Is studying more important than watching a movie? My Brother Dong is not good at Maths, and my sister will do it. Sis, just tell me if she can do it! "
Wei Nan smiled and passed the bouquet of roses to Xie Hao. "This is for you, Huilan."
The atmosphere froze.
Xie Hao remembered what Dong Xuebing said about 10 seconds ago, and he could not believe his eyes. He was stunned for 3 seconds before exclaiming. "Which era is that coin from?!"
Xie Huilan starts to shuffle the cards. "… done."
"No problem. Where are you, Brother Dong? I will go and look for you!"
Dong Xuebing was unhappy when he heard they are going to watch a movie and a private room. But his status is too high, and he cannot say anything.
Magic? Even if I learn it now, it will be too late. "… anything else?"
Dong Xuebing is also nervous. He also wants to disgust Wei Nan, but how can he mention CPR? He does not want Sister Xie to remember the stockings incident. He still needs her help.
Dong Xuebing hopes Xie Hao will win, as he is trying to help him. "Ok."
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. "Alright. Xiao Hao, thank you."
"Also … also …" Xie Hao thought for a while. "Oh, she likes to watch magic shows recently!"
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Dong and Wei Nan. "Let's talk in the dining room, ok?"
That's right. Other than Xie Huilan, no one else can be transferred to Dong Xuebing. This is not a simple change of department. It's a change of system. Even if Chief Zhen and Xu Yan want to help Dong Xuebing, they can't do anything. Only Xie Huilan can. When they had dinner at Wang Fu's residence, City's Party Committee Member and Public Security Bureau Chief Feng Xueliang had spoken to Xie Huilan. If Chief Feng is willing to help, Dong Xuebing's transfer should not be a problem.
Dong Xuebing is furious when Wei Nan addresses him as Xie Huilan. He also does not like to hear Wei Nan addressing him as Xiao Dong. Wei Nan is in his thirties and is much older than Dong Xuebing. But in Dong Xuebing's unit, there are even people in their sixties under Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing had treated people in their thirties as his peers. Other than the leaders in the branch, who dares to call him Xiao Dong? Even Political Section Chief Pang Bin had to address Dong Xuebing as Chief Dong. Who is this Wei Nan?
Xie Huilan's eyes had turned into crescent moons. She is overjoyed by Dong Xuebing's magic show. "You also know magic?"
Xie Huilan looked at Xie Hao and then Dong Xuebing. "Let's talk about it another day, ok?"
Xie Hao replied warmly. "Brother Dong, you are too polite. Why don't I call my Sis and ask her out for dinner? Anyway, it's almost lunchtime, and after dinner, you can tell me what you want to say. If you don't want to say anything, I won't interfere. What do you think?"
Dong Xuebing knew this, but it is too expensive, and Sister Xie will not accept it. "Is there anything else?"
Damn! Dong Xuebing almost fainted. Why did you mention CPR?!
Dong Xuebing is a person who remembers grudges, and he recognized Wei Nan immediately. This Wei Nan was the leader of the group of people who arrived late at the Hanhai Auction. He and his friends had wanted to chase Dong Xuebing away from his seat and let them sit there. But Dong Xuebing did not agree, and a few of them got into an argument. Damn, enemies are bound to meet. Sister Xie's grandfather wants her to marry this guy?
They all stood up and were about to leave when the man and woman at the table suddenly spoke. The man gently opened the outer packaging of the small box, revealing a small wooden box inside. He immediately smiled at the woman and said, "Do you still remember how we met?" Seeing the suspicious look on the woman's face, the man smiled and said, "A few years ago, I dropped something at that intersection, and you were the one who helped me pick it up. Our fate began there. If it weren't for this thing, we wouldn't have come this far. I've kept this thing for five years, a whole five years. Today, I want to give it to you for safekeeping. This is the proof of our love."
"No, no. I have connections here." Xie Hao refused. He still wants to help Dong Xuebing. "Sis, you must come with me today. I have a few math questions, and you must help me."
"Ok. Let me go first." Xie Hao took out a pack of poker cards from his school bag and started shuffling the cards. "Sis, this is a new trick I learned. I promise you will not guess it." After shuffling the cards, Xie Hao did not look at the cards and spread them out. "Sis, just pick a card and don't show it to me. That's right. Pick a card."
Dong Xuebing did not expect Xie Hao to take it seriously. He replied. "Why are you fighting?! You only know how to fight! If your sister knows about this, she will beat you to death! " Dong Xuebing heard Xie Hao laughing and said. "Err … I have something to discuss with you. After school, let's meet at a place."
Wei Nan smiled embarrassedly. He was afraid Xie Huilan would not give him face and had told Xie Huilan's mother.
Xie Huilan had just got off work, and she was still wearing her black suit. She smiled. "Xiao Dong, Wei Nan, you all know each other?" Dong Xuebing was stunned.
Wei Nan had prepared for this for a long time. Xie Huilan had asked Xie Hao to have dinner with her savior, and Wei Nan was pissed. Xie Hao had gone against him several times, and he frowned. He looked at Xie Huilan's red lips, and his mood worsened.
Xie Hao blinked. "My sister likes to collect antiques."
"You …" Dong Xuebing shook his head and laughed. "Actually, it's nothing serious. I just want to ask you about your sister. Err … why are you looking at me like that? Let's walk and talk." Dong Xuebing turned around and saw Xie Hao looking at him suspiciously. He cleared his throat and asked. "Xiao Hao, Director Xie … does she have anything she likes? Something that she will be overjoyed after I give it to her. " Dong Xuebing had decided to give Xie Huilan a present she likes and make use of the atmosphere to ask for her help. This way, he can ease the awkwardness caused by the stockings incident. But it's not easy to choose a present. It must be something Xie Huilan likes, and it should not be more than 2,000 RMB.
Xie Huilan suddenly laughed. "Alright. I am interested in magic recently. I had watched the reruns of this year's Spring Festival Gala three times. Haha … Wei Nan, didn't you say you had prepared a magic show for me over the phone? My younger brother's magic is also very good. Do you all want to have a competition? I'll go with whoever's magic is better, whoever's magic is unfathomable. That way, we won't be in a difficult position, right? " Xie Huilan had asked Wei Nan out, but she changed her mind. She is siding with Xie Hao. Firstly, they are not close, and secondly, Sister Xie does not want to watch any movies.
Xie Huilan smiled. "There must be a diamond ring in the box. You call this magic? This is called reasoning. "
Dong Xuebing walked out of the restaurant in a daze, and Xie Hao asked anxiously. "Brother Dong, tell me! How did you know? "
After eating, Xie Huilan wiped her lips with a napkin and smiled. "Xiao Dong, what's up?"
"Oh, Brother Dong, you are here." Xie Hao stood up and extinguished his cigarette. "I had just arrived."
That man got a fright. He does not understand why these people are so surprised. "Why are you asking about the year? I had also forgotten. " The man frowned and looked at the coin. He does not know when this coin was made. After looking at the coin, he asked. "1992. What's wrong?"
Wei Nan took a sip of red wine. "Of course, I must thank you. Xie Huilan and I are getting engaged soon. If it wasn't for Xiao Dong, sigh …"
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes. "Xiao Hao, is the steak nice?"
Xie Hao replied softly. "Brother Dong, I had tried my best."
Xie Hao cleared his throat and pulled a chair for Wei Nan unwillingly.
Xie Huilan was surprised.
"Heh … why are you still so polite with me? I had told you that you had saved my sister, and that is the same as saving me. You are my brother in the future!" Xie Hao took out his phone and dialed Xie Huilan's number. "Hello, Sis. I had met Brother Dong earlier. We are looking for a place to have dinner. You should join us … What? Why is he looking for you again? Don't … I had told Brother Dong … he is looking for you for dinner, right? Where did you all book the reservation? I will go with Brother Dong … I will just eat and not cause trouble … Ok … ok … we will be there now. Sis, you can hang up now. "
Three seconds …
Xie Huilan's smile turned cold.
Dong Xuebing was not happy when he heard Xie Huilan might be getting married. He felt even worse when he saw Wei Nan!
Xie Hao replied. "That's right. My sister also thinks the same way. But my grandfather does not want my sister to enter politics. He said she is a woman, and no one can go against his wishes. That's why it's not easy for my sister to get married until now. But this time, my grandfather is serious. I wonder how my sister and Wei Nan are doing! Damn! "
Xie Hao rolled his eyes and did not say a word.
Dong Xuebing quickly stops him. "Don't … it's hard to talk about this. Never mind. I will speak to Director Xie another day."
Dong Xuebing patted Xie Huilan's shoulder. "Thank you."
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. "Err … I know a little."
Both Xie Huilan and Wei Nan did not think much of it. They laughed and packed their things, ready to leave.
Xie Huilan looked at her watch and said. "Alright. I still have one and a half hours, and I have work to do tonight. I might not finish the movie, and if I leave in the middle of the movie, it will be my fault. Haha … "
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and called Xie Hao. "Hello, Xiao Hao? Is class over?"
Dong Xuebing had decided who to ask for help, but how to ask Xie Hao?
Wei Nan's hand, which was holding his wine glass, trembled, and his face changed! Artificial respiration? Artificial respiration? At that moment, Wei Nan felt like he had swallowed a hundred flies. On the day he gave Xie Huilan's mother a pearl necklace, Xie Huilan's mother was overjoyed. She told Wei Nan that Xie Huilan had never dated since young and asked him to cherish her. Wei Nan understood Xie Huilan had never slept with a man and did not even have her first kiss. Because of this, Wei Nan became more interested in wooing Xie Huilan. But a few days later, he heard the word he doesn't want to hear. Artificial respiration! Even if Xie Huilan did not do it willingly, they had kissed before! Damn!
Xie Hao could tell Dong Xuebing and Wei Nan had quarreled, and he whispered into Dong Xuebing's ear before entering the dining room. "Is Wei Nan an eyesore? I also don't like him! "
A few seconds later, Xie Huilan smiled and took a sip of her wine. She twirled the wine glass in her hand elegantly. "Chateau-Le-Pin, 1990 vintage red wine from France's Ripon Chateau. I had only seen this wine once at an auction. Did you bring it from home? Haha … this meal is equivalent to two to three months of my salary. Wei Nan, let's have simple meals in the future. If not, I will not dare to have meals with you, alright? "
Dong Xuebing saw Xie Hao keeping his phone and asked. "Someone is treating Director Xie to dinner?"
What is magic? To put it bluntly, magic was a kind of trickery! A smokescreen!
