Around 8 pm.
The ball is almost over.
1 song … 3 songs … 5 songs …
After the dance with Xie Huilan, Dong Xuebing did not rest. It was Hu Silian, Luo Haiting, a woman in her 40s from the Civil Affairs Bureau, a woman in her 30s from the County's Party Committee Guest House, and a young girl from the County's Cultural Troupe invited Dong Xuebing for a dance. After Dong Xuebing agreed, the rest of the Cultural Troupe also invited Dong Xuebing for a dance. After seven to eight dances, even Dong Xuebing, who has good stamina, is exhausted. His forehead is covered in sweat.
Dong Xuebing had always been tolerant of women and did not reject them.
Everyone at the ball realized Chief Dong is very popular.
Especially the older female leaders. Why are they dancing with Dong Xuebing before?
Actually, this is not surprising. Dong Xuebing is a legend in Yan Tai County, and he is younger. Most of the male leaders around him are in their forties or fifties. Among the male leaders, Dong Xuebing is the youngest. He is still in his early twenties. Compared to those older leaders who are not good at dancing, who does not like to dance with young men? It's a pleasure to dance with them.
Luo Haiting is also popular. Firstly, she is still attractive and skilled in dancing. Secondly, Luo Haiting does not reject anyone who invites her. That's why many staff members chose to work with Luo Haiting instead of meeting with Xie Huilan and Hu Silian. Dong Xuebing is satisfied. Seems like the people in the Investment Promotion Agency are quite capable. But Sister Luo, when can you apply your passion for dancing to your work? Dong Xuebing had seen Luo Haiting wearing heavy makeup these two days and wanted to scold her. But he could not bring himself to say it. Although Luo Haiting is not focused on her work, there is nothing wrong with her office, and it's not his place to scold her.
"Xiao Dong!" Someone called out to him.
Dong Xuebing looked around and saw Xie Huilan.
Xie Huilan smiled and waved to Dong Xuebing. "Come over for a while. I am waiting for you. Haha …"
Dong Xuebing quickly walks over. "Mayor Xie, what can I do for you?"
"It wasn't easy to find you. I wanted to call you a few times, but seeing that you were dancing on the dance floor, I didn't." Xie Huilan laughed. "It's like this. The ball will be ending soon, and the finale is a group dance performance by the Performing Troupe. But I had discussed with Secretary Xiang, and we felt this performance is not good enough. So, if you have prepared a magic trick, can you perform it for all of us? The group dancers of the Song and Dance Troupe can also be your accompaniment. How about it? If you don't, then forget it. It's just a spur of the moment idea, hehe. "
Dong Xuebing blinked and asked softly. "Dance can perform magic. Does this match?"
"What's wrong with it? I think the atmosphere is very good. "
"Ahem, I don't need to prepare for my magic. I can come at any time, but … should I go?"
Xie Huilan looks at Dong Xuebing. "I don't think it's a bad thing to show my face in front of the leaders."
"Alright then." Dong Xuebing knew this is not Xie Huilan's idea. But since Sister Xie did not say anything, he does not mind. Sometimes, Dong Xuebing wants to show off.
Half past eight.
The dance party came to an end.
The music stopped, and Hu Silian walked up the stage with a smile. She picked up the microphone and said a few words on behalf of the County Government. "Next will be the last song. Let's welcome the Investment Promotion Agency's Chief Dong to perform his magic." After that, she left the stage for Dong Xuebing. The music started again.
Clap, clap, clap. The applause was very enthusiastic.
Many people were interested. Dong Xuebing's performance at the Spring Festival Gala had left a deep impression on them.
After all, this is a dance party, and the magic show is only to lighten the mood. The dancers on the dance floor did not stop. They only looked at Dong Xuebing and moved back to make space for him. A few women from the Song and Dance Troupe came up to the stage and started dancing for Dong Xuebing. After knowing this is the last song, some people stood up to look for dance partners. Even Xiang Daofa invited Hu Silian, and Hu Silian smiled and agreed. Ding Li also invited Luo Haiting for the last dance.
Dong Xuebing went up the stage with some props in his hands.
A wide piece of cloth, a 1 RMB coin, and a watercolor pen.
Dong Xuebing laughed as he held the microphone. "Good evening, everyone. It's my honor to have a performance for the opening ceremony of the dance party. Because Party Secretary Xiang and Mayor Xie had instructed me to do this, I did not bring any props with me. I will be performing a small magic show." Dong Xuebing looked at the people on the dance floor looking at him and picked up the 1 RMB coin. "This is 1 RMB. Please take a look at the front and back. Are there any problems? This is issued by the government, and it is not a fake coin or magic prop. "
Someone below chuckled.
Dong Xuebing looked around and asked. "Leaders who are not dancing, can anyone help me?"
Most of the dancers are on the dance floor, and after a short silence, Zhao Xinglong walked over. "Can I do it?"
"Thank you, Mayor Zhao." Dong Xuebing passed the coin to Zhao Xinglong. "Please check this coin first. If there are no problems, here is a watercolor pen, and you can write anything on it." Zhao Xinglong looked at the coin, and there are no problems. He picked up the pen and wrote a 'Zhao' character on the coin. Dong Xuebing thanked Zhao Xinglong and raised the coin to show everyone. Dong Xuebing thanked him and raised the coin to show everyone. "Mayor Zhao had written the word 'Zhao' on it. I believe this coin is unique in this world."
The people who were dancing slowed down when they saw that the highlight of the show was about to begin.
Some people even stopped dancing and look at the stage. They want to see what Chief Dong is going to do this time.
"Now, it's time to witness a miracle."
Dong Xuebing placed the coin on the table and covered it with the red cloth. Dong Xuebing rubbed his hands on the red cloth as if he is casting a spell. This is not the first time he did this, and he is very familiar with it. Dong Xuebing smiled when he saw everyone's interest was piqued.
STOP！
Time stopped!
Dong Xuebing looked at the dancers and took out the coin from the red cloth. He walked down the stage and walked towards one of the dancers. About ten seconds later, he returned to his original spot and took a deep breath.
STOP！
… …
Time returned to normal!
Dong Xuebing, who was on the stage, laughed and patted the red cloth. "Haha!"
Everyone's eyes were glued to Dong Xuebing, and Luo Haiting stopped dancing.
"Done!" Dong Xuebing was overjoyed. He slowly lifted the red cloth and shook it in the air. But the coin is nowhere to be seen.
Uh, the applause was sporadic and not very enthusiastic.
It couldn't be helped. It wasn't that this magic trick wasn't good, but it was a far cry from the previous one-handed splitting of bricks. There were ten bricks, and they disappeared right in front of everyone's eyes. The visual impact was undoubtedly very big. But now, they were replaced by a coin, which was a little disappointing. The bricks couldn't be hidden on one's body, and they couldn't disappear into thin air using the trick that everyone knew. That was why the one-handed splitting of bricks looked good. But if it was a coin, it should be able to be hidden with a little skill.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Why is the reaction so bad? Haha … I am not done with my magic trick. "
"Huh?" Many people were stunned.
Dong Xuebing continued. "Now is the time for a miracle."
Everyone is hooked by Dong Xuebing again.
Dong Xuebing rubbed his hands and looked at Xiang Daofa. "Secretary Xiang, I'm sorry to disturb you. Can you check your suit pocket on your right?"
Everyone turned to look at Xiang Daofa.
Xiang Daofa, who was still dancing, was stunned. He let go of Hu Silian's hand and touched his pocket suspiciously. His eyebrows twitched as he felt something cold on his palm. It was a coin. But his pocket had never been used to store anything. When did this coin come out of his pocket? Xiang Daofa took out the coin from his pocket and looked at it. He was stunned and shook his head with a smile. He passed the coin to Hu Silian.
Hu Silian took it and looked at it. She took a deep breath, smiled bitterly, and raised the Quentin.
Everyone saw the word on the front of the coin. It's Zhao Xinglong's' Zhao 'character!
Gasps could be heard one after another, and some of the young female members of the troupe even covered their mouths.
What's going on?!
Zhao Xinglong did not believe it. He immediately went over to take a look. In the end, he helplessly said to everyone, "It is indeed my handwriting, and it is also the coin from just now. It can't be wrong." After saying that, he also took the lead to applaud. This magic trick was indeed beautiful.
Everyone's jaws dropped. The stage is more than ten meters away from Xiang Daofa! How did the coin on the table suddenly appear in Xiang Daofa's pocket? Xiang Daofa and the rest did not notice it? Damn! How did he change it? Dong Xuebing did not leave the stage for even a second! This is too miraculous! Of course, no one will guess that Dong Xuebing had stopped time before putting the coin into his pocket. Everyone is shocked by Chief Dong's magic skills!
Dong Xuebing knew his magic trick is a success from everyone's reaction. He smiled and was about to get off the stage.
But at this moment, a woman's voice suddenly rang out, "Ah …"
It's Luo Haiting, who is dancing with Ding Li.
Many people looked over, and Dong Xuebing is speechless. Sister Luo is too slow to react. Why did you only scream now? You are slower than everyone else by 30 seconds. Eh? Wait a minute … Dong Xuebing noticed something is wrong, and Luo Haiting is furious. She stopped dancing and pulled her left hand from Ding Li's hand. She gritted her teeth and walked off the dance floor. She did not scream because of magic!
