After Hu Die arrived in front of Lin Ye, the girl who had just been there quickly brought her a stool.
Slowly sitting down, she smiled and looked at Lin Ye.
"You're Lin Ye, right? The one who called earlier about applying for the Magician position."
"Yes." Lin Ye said, slightly embarrassed, sitting up straight with his hands clasped on his knees.
"Don't be nervous, I don't bite."
As she spoke, Hu Die crossed her legs, and the slit in her long skirt inadvertently revealed her fair thigh.
Seeing this, Lin Ye quickly turned his face away, but his reddened ears betrayed him.
Hu Die's lips also curved into a perfect arc. She casually took out a pack of slim ladies' cigarettes from her bag and was about to light one with a lighter.
Before lighting it, she asked, "Do you mind if I smoke?"
"Uh, please, go ahead."
"You're such a cute boy. Never mind, I won't smoke. Too much smoking isn't good for your health."
With that, she put the cigarette and lighter back into her bag.
"YOYO should have already told you about the situation here. We generally don't welcome men here, but you're probably not a man yet."
Lin Ye: ?????
"Don't misunderstand, I mean you're still a boy right now. Your eyes are very clear, unlike those men outside who only know how to sweet-talk and only think about getting into bed with women," Hu Die explained with a smile.
"This is your advantage, and also your disadvantage, because if you want to work here, you must learn how to make people happy, how to make women happy. When they are happy, they will spend money here."
"So you understand what I mean, right? I open for business to make money. If you can't make money for me, no matter how much I like you, I won't keep you here."
Hearing this, Lin Ye nodded.
"I understand what you mean. Although I don't really know how to make women happy, I think my magic should be able to."
"Oh? That confident?" Hu Die said softly.
"Of course, I am very confident in myself."
"Alright then, show me what you've got. If it works out, we'll sign a contract. I'll give you 1000 yuan every time you come, and all tips from guests are yours. If the results are good, there will be bonuses. I, Hu Die, never mistreat talent."
"Oh, right, do you need to prepare any magic props?" Hu Die asked after sizing Lin Ye up and down.
"No need, I have them on me." With that, Lin Ye got up and walked towards the small stage in the middle of the dance floor.
Since it wasn't officially open for business yet, the center of the stage was completely dark.
When Lin Ye stepped onto it, Hu Die immediately said to the bunny girl YOYO beside her:
"Go turn on the lights for him."
Just as YOYO was about to turn on the lights, Lin Ye's voice suddenly came from the darkness.
"No need."
Before YOYO and Hu Die could react, a bright light suddenly appeared in the center of the stage.
At first, it was only the size of a firefly, but it quickly grew to the size of an egg, and then they witnessed a shocking scene.
The egg-sized light source suddenly rose slowly, like a small sun. As it flew higher and higher, its volume also grew larger and larger. In a short while, it became as big as a basketball.
This basketball-sized light source quietly floated above the small stage, emitting a soft white glow.
And Lin Ye stood beneath the light source, his figure straight, one hand placed in front of him, the other behind his back, facing Hu Die and bowing slightly, a faint smile on his somewhat youthful face.
"The show officially begins. Don't blink."
"Next, please welcome my magic assistant—Black the Black Cat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp meow suddenly echoed through the quiet bar.
Hu Die's eyes immediately widened when she heard the meow.
The next second, a pair of eerie green eyes slowly emerged from behind Lin Ye.
Then, an elegant Black cat walked out from behind Lin Ye.
After the Black cat walked out, Lin Ye slowly squatted down and silently issued an instruction to it in his mind.
"Black, turn into a hat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Black transformed from a Black cat into a Black top hat with a 'pop'.
This trick alone made Hu Die and YOYO gasp in surprise.
Lin Ye then elegantly placed the Black top hat on his head.
This one move was already enough to astonish Hu Die and YOYO.
Just then, Lin Ye pulled a doll from his waist.
"Next, I will introduce my other magic assistant, Brian the Crow."
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and then blew a breath.
The next second, a crow's caw echoed through the bar.
A large, completely Black crow emerged from Lin Ye's clasped hands, looking vibrant and alive.
It was his other magical pet, Brian.
At this moment, Brian had not transformed into his full form but was disguised as an ordinary crow.
Even so, Lin Ye's trick of conjuring a crow out of thin air was still incredibly unbelievable.
"Oh my God, how did he do that? Is that a crow?!"
The bunny girl YOYO covered her mouth, her face full of shock.
"I thought he was just an ordinary amateur Magician. He's already on par with a professional Magician, isn't he?"
"Boss, where did Tangtang find such a talent? You absolutely must sign him! I have a feeling that if he can perform in our bar, he'll be a huge hit."
Hearing her words, Hu Die, who was nearby, gave her a fierce glare.
"I have eyes, I can see!"
"Hehe." YOYO chuckled awkwardly.
At this moment, Lin Ye also issued a command to Black through his mind.
"Turn into a staff."
As soon as he finished speaking, Black transformed from a crow into a staff with a 'pop'.
The staff was about a meter long, completely Black, with a crow perched on its top, and two rubies embedded in the crow's eyes.
It looked extremely mysterious.
With the Black top hat on his head and the crow staff in his hand, Lin Ye, who had originally looked like a youthful college student, suddenly had the aura of a professional Magician.
However, this was just the beginning.
His gaze swept to the side and landed on a bottle of wine and a wine glass on the bar counter.
The next second, he directly cast Magician's Hand, simultaneously taking both the wine bottle and the wine glass.
Since Magician's Hand is intangible and formless, to Hu Die and YOYO, they appeared to be floating in mid-air.
After the wine bottle and wine glass floated in front of Lin Ye, the wine bottle slowly tilted, and the wine inside was poured precisely into the wine glass.
When the wine was about to fill the glass, the wine bottle stood upright again.
Lin Ye casually picked up the wine glass floating in front of him and walked towards Hu Die.
Upon reaching Hu Die, he offered the wine glass to her.
"Please."
Looking at the wine glass offered to her, full of wine, Hu Die was first stunned, then smiled and prepared to drink all the wine in the glass in one gulp.
However, as soon as she took the wine glass, she suddenly felt that its weight was off.
Looking down, she was shocked to find that the full glass of wine had disappeared; the glass was empty, without a single drop of wine.
It was at this moment that Lin Ye's voice came again.
"Drinking right after waking up isn't very good for your health, so it's better not to drink it."
