قسط 3: Kongming نے حکمت عملی کے ذریعے Eiko کو تہوار کی جگہ حاصل کی

3

In order to capitalize on Eiko's successful performance, Kongming manages to convince a local music festival to host her. However, since Eiko is still an amateur, she's given a small, out of the way stage and scheduled to perform at the same time as the main event, Jet Jacket, performs on the main stage. At the festival, Kongming tricks Jet Jacket into thinking Eiko's sound equipment has broken down, luring them into a false sense of security. He then employs one of his Thirty-Six Stratagems, "Create something from nothing." He reveals that he had thoroughly studied Jet Jacket and knows their lead singer has a sensitive throat, and with a big concert the next day, he won't sing his signature song for the festival. Kongming simply feigned weakness so Jet Jacket would lower their guard, allowing Eiko to make an explosive opening to her performance to steal the crowd's attention. Jet Jacket confronts Kongming about his underhanded tactics, but he manages to appease them by providing them a concoction that can treat sore throats. Kongming is happy that the successful performance at the festival has improved Eiko's self-confidence, as well as draw the attention of a major music producer. (Source: Wikipedia)
