“Chen Tian’s technique has always allowed him to be recognized as one of the better magicians in the industry. He has handled the details of the tricks very well. But even so, why have I never heard of Chen Tian having skills in this aspect of magic?”

This magic act called “Myriad of Changes” had even shocked the industry insiders, not to mention the common folk. Everyone knew that magic was just an illusion. There was no such thing as instant teleportation or supernatural powers to speak of. But as for where the trickery lay, no one could figure it out!

Thinking to back then, Tianxi Purified Water and Family Spring were direct competitors in the bottled water industry. That earth-shattering advertising battle between Li Xiaoxiao and Zhang Ye was still fresh in the minds of everyone. It could be said that Tianxi Company and Zhang Ye were foes since he had dominated them. But it was precisely because Tianxi and Zhang Ye had such a confrontation that they knew how good he was. There were no eternal foes, so they also took part in the bidding of the advertising rights for the Spring Festival Gala this time. In their bid, they had even identified that they wanted Zhang Ye to design the way their ads appeared. From the looks of it, this decision couldn’t be more correct!

This was the most popular acrobatics show in all of the Spring Festival Galas in Zhang Ye’s previous world. Its difficulty, set design, and admiration for it were all spectacularly marvelous. Zhang Ye had spent a great deal of effort in approaching many acrobatic and performance troupes before he managed to bring the act to this world.

There was a woman who wasn’t paying attention to any of the performances. Her name was Zhao Ke, the wife of Gao Xiliang who was the successor to the art of cross-gender acting. Watching the acts onstage and listening to the cheers and applause of the audience around her, she was completely indifferent to it all. Right now, she was very nervous because her husband was about to take to the stage. How could she care to watch the other acts?

Right now, she was very nervous because her husband was about to take to the stage. How could she care to watch the other acts?
Honestly speaking, this was the first time that Zhao Ke was seated in the audience to watch her husband perform. In so many years, she had always been around whenever her husband performed. That was because she was his agent as well. However, she had not once sat in the audience to watch him perform. She was afraid that she would have to listen to the people around her speaking ill of her husband. The thing that angered her most was listening to others criticize her husband, so she might as well not hear that and just wait in the backstage for her husband to finish performing. But it was different today. She was seated in the front row to cheer her husband on. She wasn’t going to hide anymore!

Zhao Ke’s heart jumped into her throat. She could feel the veins in her neck pulsing hard. The only worries she had now were that the audience would not accept the performance and not give her husband recognition. She turned her head and looked around at the audience who was still discussing the previous act. In her head, she was screaming out pleas.
