Chapter 280: I'll do a little bit of magic

"Can you help me?"

Huo Yin'er looked puzzled and frowned slightly.

As the second son at the helm of the Simon family, he is well-informed, but he has not encountered many liars. When most of these people meet, they will throw out a topic that attracts your attention, and then use their skillful words to invite you into the urn.

The Simon family is the second largest business in Peacock City after the "Moses Voyage", and his father taught him this knowledge from an early age.

Huo Yin'er looked the young man in front of him up and down.

The other party looked the same age as himself, or even younger, and his appearance was a little too handsome, and his temperament was extraordinary, which even surprised and envied him. The black outfit is very tasteful, especially the hat and the silver cane in the hand, which are like tailor-made.

"It doesn't look like a liar or a salesman, but it doesn't rule it out...... After all, there are some scammers who are very proficient in makeup and disguise, and specialize in picking on the powerful. ”

Huo Yiner reminded himself in his heart.

"Yes, Mr. Hoyiner."

Chen Lun took off his hat and stuck it to his chest, bowing his head slightly.

"I'm the head of Jack's Circus, you can call me Jack...... With us on board, your theatre may be able to surpass 'Tartar' and 'Golden Rum' and become the number one theatre in Peacock City." Even if it is upgraded by a notch, its reputation may spread far and wide to other cities. ”

Huo Yin'er didn't speak, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

The bearded man beside him couldn't help but sneer.

"Are you kidding? If yes, I just want to say that you have a good sense of humor, sir. ”

Chen Lun glanced at him and raised his eyebrows.

"Who is this?"

"This is Mr. Covey from our 'City Garden', and the best magician in the theatre, and a lot of the audience is here for him."

Huo Yiner introduced.

Hu Kewei took off his hat slightly proudly, turned a hat flower in his hand, and said:

"Mr. Jack, you are really not humble, even the Royal Drama Troupe in the Royal City is not as big as you...... Aha, beyond the other two opera houses? Or even a notch? ”

With a shake of his hand, a white dove flew out of his hat, fluttered its wings around it, and returned to his shoulder.

After Covey showed his hand, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

There was a hint of wariness in his eyes.

"I really don't know how good your circus is, in terms of taming animals, we already have 'Sister Selena', in terms of burlesque, in terms of 'elf troupe', in terms of magic, there is me...... Although the 'City Garden' is now facing a little trivial dilemma, it is not a place where any third-rate team can join and cheat and cheat. ”

Chen Lun felt this person's hostility, and his heart suddenly became clear.

It was a kind of exclusion of peers, plus a little bit of food protection.

Huo Yiner was silent for the time being, although Kewei's words were a little ugly, but they were also what he wanted to express.

"Mr. Jack, you must have seen the job advertisement, so you came, right?"

Huo Yiner pointed to the notice on the side of the entrance of the opera, which said that the performance team was hired to settle in, and the treatment was preferential.

Chen Lun glanced in the direction the other party was pointing at, and then withdrew his gaze.

He really didn't see it.

"What is 'Jack's Circus' good at? In this way, I can judge whether there is a possibility of cooperation between the two sides. ”

Huo Yiner's words were very tactful, but in fact, he had some doubts about this strange circus that was not well-known and had never heard of.

"Hmm...... I don't seem to be particularly good at anything. ”

Chen Lun groaned.

Covey scoffed.

Huo Yiner on the side was also a little disappointed.

As the second son of the Simon family, he, like several other siblings, received a share of the family's inheritance from his father, which was actually a kind of test.

Only by developing and expanding the industry can you be qualified to prove that you have the ability to inherit the family property and take over the "steering wheel" from your father.

This is a very simple method of identification, and at the same time it is a cruel business test.

Whether you use legitimate or improper means, as long as you can grow the industry, it will more or less prove that you are a good leader in the business.

At that time, the "City Garden" Opera House was chosen as the "test paper", and Huo Yiner was also mixed with some feelings in it. Because when he was a child, he often liked to go to his theater to watch performances, and over time he fell in love with it.

He regarded the theater as his second home.

But after taking over, Huo Yiner found that the "city garden" was far more difficult to manage than he imagined. Compared with the industries of other brothers and sisters, the opera house has a more difficult problem to develop and grow, and the biggest and most core problem it faces is the resident performance troupe.

No matter how exquisite and luxurious the decoration of the theater is, how comfortable the seats are, and how it is hyped, operated and promoted, what is finally presented to the audience is a performance on the stage.

Once the strength of the performance troupe is not good and the performance is not exciting enough, then the reputation of the theater will gradually decline, and eventually it will become a third-rate theater and no one cares about it.

Huo Yiner's goal is lofty, but the reality is cruel.

With the end of the older generation of actors and performance troupes, and the departure of new recruits, the current "City Garden" is about to fall from the ranks of the three major theaters. If it weren't for the glory of the past and barely supporting the fame, I am afraid that he would have become a member of the third-rate theater long ago.

Therefore, Huo Yiner is now very anxious and eager to find a performance troupe that can lead the theater to glory again.

At this time, he noticed that the young man in black hat in front of him raised his head, and the other party showed a smile:

"Don't get me wrong, I mean, I'm good at everything, so there's nothing particularly good at it."

Huo Yiner couldn't help but be stunned.

Kewei on the side also stiffened his smile.

I saw Chen Lun raise his hand and whistle in his mouth.

Hugh –

The white dove, which had rested on Covey's shoulder, suddenly flew into his hand, and then swayed from side to side in his palm to the simple melody of whistling, and danced.

They even cooed and sang along with the melody.

Such a fairy tale scene directly made Huo Yiner's mouth open slightly, and Kewei also ignored the "betrayal" of the white pigeon, and his eyes widened.

"This ...... This......?! ”

But the next scene was even more shocking.

I saw a few goldfinch, blue, and an owl flying low at the entrance of the opera house, all of which heard the whistle, and landed on the black hat gentleman, and swayed with the melody.

That scene simply made the two of them dumbfounded.

"Ah, I'm really sorry, although I'm only the head of the circus, not a real performer, but I also know a little bit about the art of taming animals."

Chen Lun smiled politely.

He then waved his hand, and the birds on his body soared and hovered above his head as if they were hugging their master.

"It's just a little bit of a thing...... Tricks on taming beasts?! ”

Huo Yiner's voice trembled slightly.

As for Kowei and the little salesman on the side, they were already sluggish and silent.

"Of course, animal taming is also very good, and I am just an apprentice who has just gotten a glimpse of the door......"

Chen Lun's tone is gentle and his posture is very humble.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

"Oh, yes, I'll do a little bit of magic."

I saw that the silver cane in his hand was gently stretched out, and the hat in Mr. Covey's hand was hooked, and then snapped his fingers.

Syllable!

I saw a white dove fluttering out of the hat, just like Covey's magic just now.

But the difference is that another one flew out of the hat immediately afterward.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth......

The white doves seem to be out of the cage, more and more. The hat that couldn't be more ordinary, but it was like a bottomless pit.

In the eyes of Huo Yiner and Kewei, dozens of hundreds of white pigeons, one by one, directly filled the air at the entrance of the entire opera house.

"Too ...... It's incredible! This can't be called magic, it's simply magic! ”

Huo Yin'er jumped up on the spot like a child, blushing with excitement.

He cheered and looked up at the white dove in the sky.

Covey was so shocked that he took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.

"It can't be! What kind of trick is this?! How is it possible to hide so many pigeons in your hat, in your cuffs...... Wrong! That's not possible! How?! How the hell is it done?! ”

This scene directly subverted Kewei's three views, destroyed all the magic tricks in his heart, and even made him feel ashamed of his inferiority. It seems that his painstaking honing and study of his skills over the past few decades is a joke in front of real magic.

Immediately.

Circling white doves and other birds, leaving countless white feathers and bird droppings.

Fell precisely on Covey's body, instantly dousing it into a foul-smelling dung man.

"Phew! Vomit......! ”

Covey fell to his knees and vomited all the sandwiches and milk he had eaten in the morning.

Huo Yiner and the little salesman were startled, and avoided this "dung man" one after another, covering their noses with a disgusted expression.

"Oh my sun, Mr. Covey, you stink more than my grandmother's feet now."

The little man pinched his nose and said the urn.

"You shut up for me...... Phew! Phew!

Covey was shocked, angry, and angry, and wanted to speak, but when he reached his lips, it was full of the smell of food scraps.

He felt like he was throwing up his stomach.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect these little guys to be so naughty, maybe they have a bad stomach."

Chen Lun looked apologetic.

He's snapping his fingers again.

Syllable!

The white doves in the sky disappeared, turned into playing cards and fell, scattering all over the ground.

This series of scenes has attracted the attention of countless passers-by around them, who are curious to watch.

There was silence for a few seconds.

Enthusiastic applause followed.

Cracking sound......!

"Mr. Jack! Please come in with me! There are so many people here...... Go to my office for a detailed discussion, please rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory contract! ”

Huo Yin'er's bright eyes stared at Chen Lun.

His tone was nervous and urgent, even with a hint of pleading.

"Please join the 'City Garden' and ask for your ......"

Huo Yiner knew that the young head in front of him was the person he had been looking for, and only such an outstanding person could save the theater and lead the theater to glory.

"Of course, I also want to sit down and rest, the chairs in the rental carriage are too hard."

Chen Lun shrugged and said.

"Please come in, Mr. Jack, please ......"

Huo Yin'er was full of hospitality, and the haggard and dark circles on his face seemed to have faded a lot at once, leaving only vitality and hope.

As the two entered the theater, Covey, who had been completely ignored, was still vomiting on the ground.

The little salesman forced a smile and ran in after him.

"Damn!"

Covey wiped a handful of tears choked by the stench and gritted his teeth.
