CHAPTER 854: CHAPTER 353: PUNISHING THEM...

As soon as everyone saw Shu Ran nod, they all showed knowing smiles.

Xiao Fei glanced around the room and then said, "Boss Zhang, you can’t play favorites now!"

"You mentioned that more than one person here can testify to your skills, but I’ve never played it myself. I want to give it a try too!"

Zhang Jingdong blinked quickly: "You can definitely play, but you can only do it on our own turf. Otherwise, if someone secretly records it, you’ll become famous worldwide prematurely!"

Xiao Fei pouted slightly: "As long as you agree, we can take our time choosing a location."

"Alright."

Zhang Jingdong chuckled, then turned to An Lu: "An An, it’s your turn now!"

An Lu quickly thought for a moment and then said, "I have a skill that you probably don’t have. I can tell you how many banknotes are in a stack just by weighing it with my hand."

Everyone knew An Lu worked at a bank and most likely had this special skill, so Xiao Fei and the others bent one finger and all looked at Zhang Jingdong.

But it turned out he hadn’t bent his finger.

Lin Xiran curiously asked, "Boss Zhang, you didn’t bend your finger. Do you also have this skill?"

Zhang Jingdong laughed freely: "Did you forget I’m a magic expert? Actually, most top magicians like us have this skill because we play with cards all the time, and over time, we become very sensitive to the mass of various objects, especially paper-like things."

Saying this, Zhang Jingdong noticed everyone’s disbelief and promptly took his handbag, pulled out a stack of money, roughly one or two thousand, and placed it on the table.

"No bragging, no pushing; let me demonstrate for you now, and also let An An verify."

"To prevent cheating, I’ll close my eyes, and you guys extract some cash, then I’ll weigh it with my hand."

Zhang Jingdong said, turning his head and covering his eyes with his hands.

Lin Xiran and Xiao Fei went forward and randomly pulled out some cash.

"Alright, Boss Zhang, you can go ahead."

Zhang Jingdong lowered his hands, opened his eyes, and glanced at the money on the table: "Now you see I can’t cheat, right?"

Seeing that Zhang Jingdong was serious, everyone nodded in amazement.

"Sure."

"One hundred percent sure."

"Boss Zhang, seeing you like this, do you really have this skill?"

Zhang Jingdong gave a mysterious smile, then picked up the money and pretended to weigh it for four or five seconds before saying: "It should be... 153 notes."

This immediately piqued everyone’s curiosity!

An Lu was also a bit taken aback by Zhang Jingdong.

Because she could not only weigh by hand but also estimate visually, and as long as it’s under two thousand cash, she could roughly judge the amount at a glance, with a deviation of usually no more than two notes.

And this stack of money, she estimated earlier as precisely 153 notes.

Zhang Jingdong noticed the slight surprise in An Lu’s eyes and handed the money to her: "An An, you validate it, please."

An Lu took the money, weighed it slightly, and then said to everyone: "Wow, there’s no denying it, Boss Zhang is indeed extraordinary, it is 153 notes!"

Everyone instantly praised in disbelief.

"Boss Zhang, you’re too amazing, you even know this!"

"Boss Zhang, I concede, you’re truly an all-rounder!"

Huo Chengcheng said at this point, "I think we need to count it."

Liang Feng agreed, "I also find it hard to believe, it’s just so incredible!"

Zhang Jingdong chuckled: "Then you guys go ahead and quickly count it."

The others were still somewhat skeptical, so Xiao Fei and the others divided the money and counted it in no time.

Shortly after, Xiao Fei was the first to say: "I got 22 notes."

Liang Feng followed up: "I got 24 notes."

"I got 26 notes."

"I got 25 notes."

"I got 29 notes."

"I got 27 notes."

"22+24 is 46, 46+26 is 72, 72+25 is 97, 97+29 is 126, 126 plus 27... it really is 153 notes!"

"Sister An, Boss Zhang, you are incredibly amazing. How did you practice this?"

Zhang Jingdong got a bit proud: "Nothing special, just practice makes perfect."

"Okay, let’s continue the game, Su Man, it’s your turn!"

Su Man thought seriously for a moment, then said: "I... I’ve shaved my eyebrows before, completely shaved them. Have any of you done that?"

Everyone was instantly surprised.

"Manman, that’s quite extreme, I haven’t!"

"Me neither!"

Seeing everyone else bending their fingers, Su Man turned to Zhang Jingdong: "Boss Zhang, how about you?"

Zhang Jingdong sighed: "That’s really something else, I haven’t done that either, but maybe you could tell us why? Was it because your eyebrows got burned and you decided to shave them all off?"

Su Man shot him a look, then explained: "No, it was during the summer vacation before my junior year; senior year was about to start. My grades were always around 200th in the grade, and according to our school’s previous second-tier university admission numbers, I had to rank within the top 120 to get into college."

"So that summer, I started studying like crazy, and to stop myself from going out and playing, I shaved my eyebrows off!"

Everyone suddenly understood.

Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but exclaim: "No wonder you’re the grand champion of the modeling contest, you’re truly hardcore!"

"Alright, now it’s Lin Xiran’s turn."

Lin Xiran had already thought ahead, so she said directly: "This one you might not know either; even my sister doesn’t know it. Have you all seen ’The Return of the Condor Heroes’? I know Zhou Botong’s Left and Right Mutual Combat Skill; I can draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other."
