The alarm was lifted, and Iron Head finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Xu Xiangbei curiously watched the girl draped in a black veil on the stage.
The black-veiled girl also gave Xu Xiangbei a faint smile.
That smile was like a blooming white lily, vibrant and fragrant, making one feel a warmth from within, as comfortable as a spring breeze.
Xu Xiangbei waved to Iron Head, "Iron Head, I’m giving you face, how are you going to thank ?"
Iron Head chuckled awkwardly, "Dr. Xu, you’re a real brother. All your expenses tonight are on ."
Xu Xiangbei joked with a hint of teasing, "Looks like you’ve made a fortune recently, offering so generously. When did your Crown KTV start having a stage performance?"
Iron Head rubbed his bulb-like shiny head, smiling proudly, "That was my idea. Boss Peng spends most of his energy on the food factory and left this place to to manage. I thought besides having KTV rooms, we could also utilize the hall, so I set up a stage. We specially invite bands to perform and do so entertainnt shows. Hehe, our Crown KTV’s daily turnover is now double what it used to be."
Xu Xiangbei laughed, "Who would have guessed that iron head of yours could co up with such a great idea? Boss Peng sure picked the right person."
Iron Head bead, "Thank you, Dr. Xu, for the complint."
Xu Xiangbei didn’t hold back, "Seeing as you’re making so much money, I’ll take advantage. Get a pot of premium Longjing tea, a bottle of Bordeaux wine, a big bucket of popcorn, so chocolate cupcakes, and the like."
"Anything you need, just ask the staff."
Iron Head was about to leave when Xu Xiangbei caught him again, "Who’s that girl in the black veil?"
"She’s the magician’s assistant and also a singer, nad Wind Chi. Watch slowly, the show is guaranteed to be exciting."
Xu Xiangbei stared at the stage intently, his gaze fixed on Wind Chi. Her voice was clear and resonant, and although she hadn’t started singing yet, he could imagine how sweet her voice would be.
Apart from being attracted by her voice, Xu Xiangbei felt there was sothing indescribable in her eyes, sothing that could make one forget everything else.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei staring at the magician’s assistant Wind Chi, Iron Head smiled, "Dr. Xu, you have so many beauties around you, each different, and you won’t fall for this Miss Wind Chi, will you?"
Xu Xiangbei smiled faintly, with a hint of skepticism in his eyes, "I am a bit tempted, but this kind of temptation isn’t the love-at-first-sight, mutual affection kind. There’s sothing else I can’t quite describe."
Hearing Xu Xiangbei’s explanation, Iron Head gave an evil grin, thinking Xu Xiangbei was making an excuse for his lust, "Dr. Xu, worthy of being a master, even a single sensation is expressed so elegantly, but in simpler terms, you like her, right?"
After chuckling dryly, Xu Xiangbei took the red wine poured by a waiter and gently swirled the glass, "I do like her a bit. What, do you want to be my pimp?"
Shan Mingzhi, sitting nearby with a wide grin, said, "If you like her, have her co sing at our company. If we could invite this beauty to our company’s annual gala, it would certainly add a lot. Monica, don’t you agree?"
Monica smiled without speaking, took a gentle sip of red wine, and nodded in agreent.
Wind Chi announced with a smile, "Next, let’s welco Mr. Magician Wind Valley to the stage."
With Wind Chi’s announcent, a man dressed in a black evening suit, styled as a magician, walked onto the stage.
The magician was tall and thin, with a gaunt and pale face. Whether his face was naturally so white or coated with powder was unclear, but it lacked any blood color, resembling a vampire from a horror film.
His eyes were deep and bright, scanning the faces of everyone in the room. It might have been an illusion, but when he looked at Xu Xiangbei, Xu Xiangbei felt as if the magician’s gaze was like a knife, piercing his head, making him montarily dizzy.
It was just a brief dizziness, and when he regained clarity, Magician Wind Valley was smiling and bowing to everyone.
Xu Xiangbei suspiciously looked at his glass. The red wine inside was vibrant in color and tasted exquisite, so it shouldn’t have been the wine’s fault.
He couldn’t understand why he felt dizzy. Was he drunk, or was he sick?
He quietly applied his Inner Strength, and it flowed normally with no abnormal feelings.
Wind Chi’s smile was as radiant as a flower as she introduced Mr. Wind Valley’s background to the guests. They did touring performances in various places. Xu Xiangbei was surprised to learn that they were actually a brother-sister duo, with faces that bore so resemblance.
Mr. Wind Valley’s pale face revealed a slight smile, "Now, I will perform a simple magic show for you."
Like a television magician, Magician Wind Valley perford vividly with props. Shan Mingzhi and Monica watched with great interest, clapping their hands enthusiastically from ti to ti.
Xu Xiangbei unexpectedly noticed that in the front row, only Qiao Jun was seated there, while Big Shrimp and Coach Big Beard were quietly hiding at the back, not daring to appear in front of Xu Xiangbei.
Xu Xiangbei even waved to them, gesturing to the empty seats in the front row, suggesting they co over and sit. As a result, they disappeared without a trace.
Magician Wind Valley’s performance was quite brilliant, eliciting continuous applause from the guests: "Next, I will perform a grand human transformation magic, requiring enthusiastic participation from the guests present. Anyone willing to co up and assist , please raise your hand."
", ..."
Many audience mbers eagerly raised their hands, including Shan Mingzhi, who was evidently a guy who enjoyed excitent. He raised his hand high, and the shadow cast by his chubby body was like a moving iceberg, blocking the view of those behind him.
There were continuous complaints from behind: "Hey, fatty in front, sit down."
But Shan Mingzhi remained oblivious.
Xu Xiangbei did not raise his hand; he was busy eating seeds. He unexpectedly felt the magician’s eyes focused on him, a smile appearing on that pale, bloodless face.
Xu Xiangbei felt dizzy again as he heard Magician Wind Valley slowly say, "The second row, the chubby one in the middle..."
Shan Mingzhi thought it was him, happily jumping from his chair, not that he was actually seated, almost running to the stage.
Unexpectedly, Magician Wind Valley added a few words that greatly disappointed him, "The handso guy next to the chubby one, please co up and assist with the magic, thank you for your courage."
When Magician Wind Valley’s eyes looked toward him, for so reason, Xu Xiangbei felt a surge of heat and a wave of impulse. He stood up from his seat.
On his face appeared a kind of entranced smile, sweet and infatuated, as he walked toward the stage.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei walk onto the stage, a subtle, hard-to-detect expression flashed in Magician Wind Valley’s eyes.
