Xun Mi walked up to Tong Ran and asked, "What are you doing?"

Tong Ran opened his eyes and saw Xun Mi staring at his hand. With a thought, he hid the coin in his hand and stuck it between his fingers.

When he spread his hands, there was nothing in his palms: "I didn't do anything."

Xun Mi raised his eyebrows, suddenly leaned forward, grabbed his right hand, and naturally touched the coin held vertically between his fingers.

Tong Ran: "..."

"Host, you should reflect on yourself." In the consciousness, the voice of the app sounded in time.

Tong Ran: "This kid doesn't have martial ethics, so I hid him well."

"The audience is not obligated to cooperate with your performance. Their thoughts are independent and changing, so unexpected interferences often occur. And an excellent magician can guide the audience's reaction and let them fall into their own presets unconsciously.

, so as to successfully complete the performance.”

This is the secret of magicians' manipulation of people's hearts and the essence of "misguidance".

It's not that Tong Ran doesn't know, but as a rookie, he is far from reaching that level of cultivation.

He snatched the coin from the proud Xun Mi and asked in a nonchalant manner: "Do you want to see me for anything?"

Xun Mi smiled slightly: "The list of promotions will be announced soon."

"Well, what's wrong?"

Xun Mi looked straight into Tong Ran's eyes, but couldn't see any fluctuations in the other person's eyes. He opened his mouth and said after a while: "It's nothing. I wish you good luck."

A quarter of an hour later, the election administrator came to call someone.

All the trainees gathered in the studio, and everyone was in a tense state.

Those in high positions are afraid of falling, those in low positions are afraid of being eliminated, and those in high positions are afraid of not being able to get in and out of the lane. Only Tong Ran has a calm mind and still spins his coins.

There was no suspense about the final result, at least for Tong Ran - he was eliminated.

If he could wait until Sangong's episode was released before closing the voting channel, he would have a great chance of reversing the situation, but the reality is that there is no such thing.

Amid faint sobbing, Tong Ran and a dozen eliminated contestants stood on the stage to prepare their final speeches.

Because Tong Ran's performance in San Gong left a deep impression on PD, when it was his turn to speak, PD's tone was particularly gentle: "Is there anything you want to say to the audience who support you?"

"I want to say thank you." Thank you on behalf of the original owner.

In fact, the original owner did not have a strong obsession with the stage. He was quiet by nature and was not used to the spotlight of fame and fortune. But reality drove him to embark on this road. Some people were willing to accompany him on the road, and he stood firm in the smoky public opinion environment.

Support him unswervingly and never give up on him. The original owner is grateful and takes responsibility. He does not dare to disappoint his supporters, so he wants to work harder and become better, and he will bear the pressure and overload training.

And now, Tong Ran has taken over this body. Although it is not his subjective wish, he has truly accepted the original owner's affection.

But if he was bound to his future life for this love and lived like a puppet or a redeemer, he wouldn't want to.

He has something urgent to accomplish, and he must do his best for it, but he will always respect this body as he respects himself, without being scornful or blasphemous, and will always be in awe and gratitude.

Tong Ran's eyes were focused and her smile was sincere: "Today's farewell is only temporary. There is no need to be sad for me or to be reluctant to leave. I will not leave the stage. Although it is no longer the stage of "National Idol", I will still work hard for

You gave a wonderful performance, a performance that was unexpected by you, like a miracle."

PD heard something else from it and asked tentatively: "Oh? Do you have any new plans?"

Tong Ran's eyebrows widened: "Maybe you can become a magician instead?"

Just like Sangong that night, no one believed what he said.

But many years later, some Tongran fans wanted to relive their old dreams. When they clicked on this video, they saw a uniform barrage - the place where the dream began.

But there are no prophets here, and the future has not yet arrived.

After the announcement of the promotion list, Tong Ran said goodbye to everyone one by one. When it was Xun Mi's turn, the other party raised his hand slightly and hugged him politely.

"Tongran." Xun Mi called softly, but there was no reply for a long time.

It wasn't until they separated that Tong Ran heard an inaudible "I'm sorry".

He looked over in confusion, but Xun Mi smiled as if nothing had been said: "Remember to add me on WeChat."

Tong Ran readily agreed and then forgot about it.

After returning to the room, he packed his luggage and went straight to the airport. It was already afternoon when he arrived in Yancheng.

Although it was early in the afternoon, the heat wave that hit him when he got off the gangway still almost steamed Tong Ran to death. Fortunately, the company sent assistant Li Mingming to pick him up.

He is said to be an assistant, but he is actually the financial and administrative manager, because the original owner's company, Kangcheng Entertainment, currently only has three people left. In addition to him and Li Mingming, there is also Kang Fufu, the chairman, agent, business manager and publicity.

In fact, six months ago, there were more than 30 people in the company, including five trainees. However, the garment factory founded by Kang Fu had an accident, and he had to sell the factory to pay off the debt. He lost the subsidy from the garment factory's profits and had no income.

Kangcheng Entertainment, which came from, could no longer operate any longer. Employees left one after another, and only Tong Ran was left as a trainee.

As for why the original owner didn't leave, firstly it was due to his personality, and secondly, Kang Fu was a big help when the original owner's grandmother was seriously ill. Although the original owner's grandmother unfortunately passed away, in the original owner's heart, Kang Fufu was his benefactor.

Tong Ran followed the location and found the underground parking lot, and found that Li Mingming actually drove a Jinbei F50, which was neither new nor old.

"..." How poor is this company?

He got into the car with a normal expression, and as soon as he sat down, he heard some bad news.

"Director Kang knew you were eliminated and was in a daze. He was hit by a battery car when he went out the day before yesterday..."

Tong Ran felt a little guilty in her heart, but she didn't blame the original owner or him for this, she could only blame the show crew for not being a good person.

"Is it serious?"

Li Mingming shook her head, "I twisted my waist and will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"I want to see Director Kang."

"Dr. Kang had known you would say this. He asked me to take you home to rest first," Li Mingming started the car, glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Let's pick him up from the hospital together tomorrow."

"……oh."

Along the way, Tong Ran used small talk to secretly gather information. Li Mingming just graduated last year, and she still had an obvious student spirit when she spoke and acted. She was completely unprepared for Tong Ran, so she was easily tricked.

It's a pity that the impostor gradually faded out of the circle after getting married, and Li Mingming didn't know much about him.

Tong Ran's plan failed and he had to find another way. He urgently wanted to see Tong Yichen, because only through face-to-face contact could he have the opportunity to find out clues to the counterfeit's true identity and make targeted arrangements.

About half an hour later, Jin Bei stopped under an apartment building. Tong Ran refused Li Mingming's offer to help pack her luggage and entered the community alone.

The apartment was rented by the company. The original owner had been sharing it with several other trainees before moving here four months ago.

Tongran walked around inside and out. The house was not big, with one bedroom and one living room, but it was very warmly decorated.

There is a piano in the living room and several musical instruments displayed on the cabinet shelves; the clothes in the wardrobe have been ironed and hung neatly; the refrigerator is filled with ingredients, and there are many green plants planted on the balcony.

No one has lived in it for several months, and the floor and furniture are also spotless. It can be seen that they have been taken care of with care.

He walked slowly to the piano, sat down, opened the cover, and gently pressed a note.

Tong Ran can actually play the piano, but his level is very average, but playing the piano is just a way for him to relieve stress. Whenever he is upset or needs to calm down and think, he will always want to play the piano.

The soothing melody flowed from his fingertips. Tong Ran closed his eyes and immersed himself in the music.

When the song ended, he exhaled heavily and sat there in the same posture as playing the piano for a while before getting up and going to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Tong Ran made a bowl of noodles and then turned on the computer to search for Tong Yichen's itinerary. It was the same as every day before, but nothing was gained.

He thought for a while and then went to check for information about the "Yan City Magician Competition", but he didn't know whether the event was too niche or not professional enough. There was very little information online. Tong Ran could only infer from the fragmented news that the competition usually takes place in August.

.

Of course he also asked the app, but the app asked him to explore on his own. Tongran poked around and found a magic forum and found information about members' gatherings.

And tonight, there happens to be a party.

Tong Ran looked at the time and immediately decided to take a trip.

He originally wanted to take a taxi, but considering the current economic situation, he chose the more affordable subway.

It was the rush hour after get off work, and the subway was very crowded. After seven or eight stops, Tong Ran was lucky enough to find a seat.

As soon as he sat down, he took out the coins.

Nowadays, he is becoming more and more skillful in turning coins, and his fingers are as light as twisting a flower. Even in a rickety carriage, the coins are like an adsorbed magnet, sticking firmly to the back of his fingers.

Gradually, more and more eyes were attracted to him.

Some people looked away after looking at it, but after a while their eyes couldn't help but turn around again; some stared at his hands intently, not missing a moment; some were more daring and secretly took out their mobile phones to record the video.

Tian Jiao is the bold one. She made an appointment with netizens today to go to the "Rabbit House" party in St Plaza. Unexpectedly, there was a performance to enjoy on the way, so she quickly took a video and shared it with her small group.

【Jiaojiao】What level do you meet on the way to the party?

[Hotpot Nest] Jiaojiao is going to the party tonight? I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been there for more than a month.

[Hotpot Wozi] After watching it, it’s not bad, the movements are very beautiful, but the technique is too simple.

[kmeow] A monk would want to lick it when he sees it!

【Pretty】This is a very good hand, it should be a boy, what does it look like?

Tian Jiao glanced at the well-armed young man and typed with regret -
