Chapter 18: Movie King vs. CEO (18)
Xu Jinxiao put down his stool and looked at the stall in silence for a moment. An idea quickly came to his mind. "Master Gu, take a peach first, spread your hand, put the peach on your hand, and show it to them."
"Okay." Gu Liangchen nodded and acted according to his instructions.
Xu Jinxiao then bent down, holding five peaches in his hand. He looked at the people coming and going around him, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted:
"Dear fellow villagers, handsome men and beautiful women, come and have a look, it's a free performance and you'll miss it."
Many people were startled by his sudden shout and turned to look at him.
Seeing this, Xu Jinxiao smiled slyly and moved his hands at the same time, taking the opportunity to catch their attention.
The left hand suddenly throws up a peach, and while it stays in the air, throws up the second and third peaches, and catches the falling peaches with the right hand in turn. Then the left hand throws up the fourth and fifth peaches, and catches them with the right hand in turn, and repeats this cycle.
He was able to play with a few ordinary peaches in various ways in his hands, and his technique seemed very skillful.
Everyone was amazed by his performance, and burst into cheers and applause.
The audience in the live broadcast room were even more shocked.
[Breaking news! Actor Xu can actually juggle!!! I bet this will be the headline tomorrow!]
My eyes almost popped out of my head. Is this world a fantasy?
[Actor Xu is awesome!!! I will carry the flag for him!!!]
[Stacking, it’s hard to meet a movie star who is too amazing when you are young]
[Actor Xu is so handsome, is he the reincarnation of Xiu Er? ]
Gu Liangchen beside him was also shocked and speechless. He stood there motionless, staring at the man beside him with wide eyes.
Xu Jinxiao played with peaches while soliciting customers:
"Don't miss it if you pass by, handsome guys and beautiful girls, come and take a look, it doesn't matter if you don't buy anything."
Some people were hesitant at first, but after hearing what he said, they immediately gathered in front of the stall. One of the middle-aged men praised:
"The boss has great skills. He can actually play five at once."
Xu Jinxiao looked at the crowd surrounding the stall, smiled slightly, and said without any arrogance: "What's that? I can still sell eight at a time~"
"hiss."
There was a gasp from the crowd, all of them were a little bit disbelieving.
One person questioned: "Is this true? You're not lying to us, are you?"
Someone echoed him: "Yeah, isn't he bragging?"
One person said disdainfully: "I think the difference between playing with eight and playing with five is huge."
Gu Liangchen frowned and looked at the three people who were looking for trouble with a cold face.
Xu Jinxiao smiled indifferently, stopped juggling, and a faint light flashed across his eyes.
"If I successfully get eight peaches, the three of you can buy a basket, okay?"
"Don't even mention a whole basket. I'd even buy all of what you have here."
"A few broken peaches, I can afford double the price."
The three people who were poked were furious and their faces turned red as they pretended to be disdainful.
Xu Jinxiao smiled, and her white teeth were bright and dazzling in the sunlight.
"That's what you said, buy them all."
"Wait, they've bought them all, what are we buying?"
Someone who was originally watching suddenly interrupted and stopped Xu Jinxiao from fulfilling his agreement with him.
Because he was looking at the crystal clear peach in Gu Liangchen's hand, and even the tiny hairs were clearly visible, he suddenly felt greedy.
Although he didn't think Xu Jinxiao could win, what if he won? He didn't dare to bet.
"Yes, boss. I was planning to buy some fruit to eat today."
Another person stood up to oppose the bet.
Immediately afterwards, many people spoke out to stop them, fearing that they would not be able to buy peaches today.
Judging from their performance, they all seemed quite satisfied with Taozi.
This made the three people who had made the bet unable to move forward or backward, and they also took a closer look at the peach.
It seems like buying them all... wouldn't be a loss?
"Is that so? Then after everyone finishes shopping, let them buy the rest."
Xu Jinxiao smiled happily. He didn't expect that so many people would want to buy his peaches.
"Boss, your peaches look so good, you must be able to buy them, right? Why do you seem so impatient?"
Xu Jinxiao smiled mysteriously and didn't answer him.
[Can actor Xu really play eight? ]
[OMG, I thought playing with five people was awesome at first.]
Then Xu Jinxiao bent down and picked up three more peaches. The eight big peaches could hardly fit in his arms.
The three people who saw this breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were many people here who wanted to buy peaches, there should still be a lot left after they bought them.
Even if the three of them bought it all, they wouldn't be able to finish it, and they didn't know how much it cost. It didn't look cheap.
They were very poor and were just pretending to be tough. If they had known earlier, they should not have agreed to his request on impulse.
"Hiss, it's a little difficult, but it will definitely succeed, don't worry."
Xu Jinxiao smiled confidently at the three of them, his fox eyes sparkling and reflecting the sunlight.
[Actor Xu's smile touched my heart.]
[Help, me too]
[Don’t even think about it, I already have a boyfriend]
[If you have a boyfriend, then go for it. It will make you happier (so happy)]
Then Xu Jinxiao threw a peach high up with his left hand, more than twice as high as before. While the peach was in the air, he threw up four more peaches. His right hand was not idle either, and he passed the peach in it to his left hand, successfully completing the superb juggling of throwing eight peaches.
Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded.
"Pa pa pa"
After a brief silence, applause suddenly broke out.
[Holy crap! Actor Xu is awesome!!!]
[Shocked me for a whole year...]
[I suddenly realized his strength. I always thought he was just a pretty face, but I didn’t expect him to be so talented. I’m just superficial.]
[Isn't Actor Xu really that awesome?! He's going crazy on this show!]
[Kukusha, I'm so impressed]
The three people looked hopeless, and their hearts ached as they looked at Xu Jinxiao's five big baskets of peaches.
Xu Jinxiao looked at the three of them and said, "I'm willing to accept the loss. Everyone is watching."
The three of them looked at the crowd around them and felt that they could not afford to lose face in front of this person, so they had to grit their teeth and accept it.
"I won't regret it."
"Come over to me, or what if he runs away?"
Xu Jinxiao stared at them with a look of distrust.
The three of them were almost vomiting blood in anger, but there was nothing they could do. They could only walk to his side and wait for everyone to finish buying.
"Boss, how much are these peaches?"
"Selling by the peach, eight dollars a peach."
The three of them were the first to feel their vision go dark and almost faint.
Eight dollars a piece, and they thought it was three dollars at most!
I took out my phone and checked the balance. I almost cried T﹏T. I might as well run away.
The three of them looked at each other secretly and nodded to each other, obviously wanting to escape, but they didn't expect to be discovered by Xu Jinxiao.
He curled the corners of his mouth coldly, raised his hands and held down two of them, using some force.
The two men, who were already very strong, felt unable to move in an instant. Their shoulders, which were being held down, felt as if they were about to be crushed. It was no exaggeration to say that it was like a mountain pressing down on their heads.
The two men's expressions changed drastically, with red and white flashing alternately.
"Don't even think about running away."
Xu Jinxiao's cold and threatening voice slowly came out, and there was an inexplicable strong sense of oppression.
"Don't worry, there's no way we could possibly run away with the bill. It's impossible, absolutely impossible."
The two of them, feeling Xu Jinxiao's strength, immediately changed their expressions and expressed their loyalty timidly.
"That's good. We live in a harmonious society now, so we can't just run away from paying."
"Oh, oh, of course."
The three of them were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. They had kicked a tough guy.
"OK, everyone can buy it now. It's eight dollars per piece. Just buy it if you like."
Xu Jinxiao turned his head to look at everyone, and his expression changed instantly like magic, and he spoke to everyone in a soft voice.
"It's a little pricey, but the peaches look great, so it should be worth it. And after your performance just now, boss, I have to buy a few more."
An old lady looked at Xu Jinxiao gently and lovingly, and spoke very fairly.
"Indeed, it looks very good. I will buy a few more."
"yes."
"Since everyone is like this, I will support it too."
Everyone nodded to each other in satisfaction.
