6.30 pm.
The Arts Gala starts on time.
The lights are flashing, and a few cameras are pointing at the stage.
Although the stage equipment of the evening party was a bit crude, but under Director Sun's arrangement, it produced a good effect, which showed Director Sun's professional level.
A female host invited by the county TV station walked up to the rostrum with a smile on her face. She was accompanied by a very eloquent man from the county cultural bureau. He was the male host for today. "Leaders, guests, and viewers in front of the television, good evening. Today is a special day. It's the first large-scale Merchants Cultural Festival Gala held by our Jiaolin County …" After saying a bunch of things, the male host finally said, "Next, let's welcome Jiaolin County's County Head Zhang Dongfang to give a speech."
Huh?
Mayor Zhang?
Why is Mayor Zhang the first to go up the stage?
Many government officials, leaders, and guests do not know what is going on and were stunned.
By right, the first person to give a speech should be a Provincial Government or City Leader. But none of the Provincial Government's leaders are here. The City Leader, such as the Investment Promotion Agency's Chief, is sitting with his wife and children. But Dong Xuebing has no intention to let the City Leader speak. This is because the City Leader had refused to attend the Gala, and Dong Xuebing is a person who bears grudges. That's why he skipped the City Leader's speech and let Jiaolin County's Leader speak.
The big-bellied Zhang Dongfang went on stage. He had been waiting backstage for a long time. He took two steps up the stage and stood there with the microphone.
Clap … clap … clap … clap …
Although the applause is not loud, it's not small. The people did not clap as they are waiting to see the celebrity. Who would want to talk to a fat man? But there are many Jiaolin County's staff in the audience, and they must support the leader.
"Hello, everyone." Zhang Dongfang looked a little nervous and sweated a lot. After all, it was a live broadcast. Perhaps it was because he thought that people from all over the world might be watching, so his expression was even more unnatural. After taking out the script, Zhang Dongfang read it out stiffly and then hurriedly got off the stage. Old Zhang looked very confident and was still talking to Dong Xuebing casually earlier. But the moment he got on stage, he was exposed. He only had a few paragraphs of his speech, and he was still stuttering when he read it.
"Let's welcome Jiaolin County's Party Secretary, Dong Xuebing, to give a speech." The host stepped aside and started clapping.
At this moment, the gap between them could be seen.
He did not even bring his speech script with him. Actually, he had not prepared any speech script and had been speaking on the spot. "Many leaders, guests, investors, and friends from all over the world are here today. I represent the County's Party Committee to welcome all of you. It's our honor to have all of you take time out of your busy schedules to attend our first Business Fair Cultural Gala."
Seeing that the leader was about to start his long speech, the tens of thousands of people behind him started to complain in a low voice.
But Dong Xuebing did not panic and smiled at the audience. "I can hear the audience booing. They are asking me to get off the stage."
Puff!
Someone in the audience burst out laughing.
The audience did not expect the County's Party Secretary to say this during a live broadcast. The grumbling turned into laughter.
The people from Jiaolin County were sweating profusely.
Dong Xuebing replied calmly. "Haha, then I will listen to the crowd and end my speech. Hmmm … the lines are quite long. Let's just skip 200,000 words." Dong Xuebing looked at the host. "Alright. I have finished my speech. Let's go into the performance segment. If not, the audience will throw things at us."
This was a phrase that had never been discussed before.
The male host was a civil servant and had not experienced such a big stage before. He was caught off guard by Dong Xuebing's reaction. He had memorized the lines given by Director Sun, and this time, he did not know what to say.
Director Sun was sweating profusely.
The female host is very flexible. She is an experienced host and often does live broadcasts. She smiled and said. "Why do I feel that we have entered the performance segment? I heard Secretary Dong will also be performing today."
Dong Xuebing was shocked. "I have a performance?"
This time, even Meng Hanmei, Chang Lin, and the rest laughed.
"Haha …" The commoners also laughed out loud with good intentions.
"Who is lying to me?!" Dong Xuebing pretended to be angry. "Host, is it you?"
The hostess smiled bitterly and waved the program list. "How would I dare lie to you? This is the program list I got. Aiyo, let me confirm it again. Don't get it wrong." The female host looked at the program sheet. "That's right. Your program is written on it. Ah … it's still a magic performance."
Dong Xuebing wiped his sweat. "What should we do now?"
The female host laughed. "I don't know. Should we change to the next program?"
"That's right. Pretend I was not on the stage." Dong Xuebing said. "Cut out that part. Don't broadcast it!"
"Hahaha!" The audience burst out laughing again!
The female host laughed. "This is a live broadcast. Secretary Dong, you can't cut out that part."
Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead. "Oh no. I had embarrassed myself today, and my image is ruined. I must find a hole to hide in. Oh, there's a whole table here!"
The female host pretended to be surprised. "What are you going to do?"
"I will go under the table first. You all can continue with your hosting. Don't wait for me." After saying that, Dong Xuebing lifted the tablecloth and entered the room. The tablecloth was very big and covered Dong Xuebing's body. Even the host could not see Dong Xuebing.
The male host was stunned.
The guests and audience were also dumbfounded.
But before everyone could figure out what was going on, in the next second, a voice suddenly sounded behind everyone. "Who is everyone looking for?"
Everyone turned their heads in shock!
The cameras also chased after that voice!
It's Dong Xuebing!
At this moment, he was standing on a rockery at the very back, holding a wireless microphone in his hand and talking to everyone with a smile on his face! This is a few hundred meters away from the stage!
The audience burst into an uproar!
No one expected Dong Xuebing to perform such a magic trick in such a way!
