June 28th
Today was Du Yuanzhe's birthday. Liu Xu and Xiaopang called him early in the morning to wish him a happy birthday.
Chen Rongsan wanted to help him organize a birthday party, but Du Yuanzhe refused without hesitation. He was not interested in turning his birthday party into a business exchange meeting.
Du Yuanzhe went home at noon to celebrate his birthday with his family.
"Mom, I've already made an appointment with Lu Xuan and the others tonight. They said they want to get together to celebrate my birthday."
Chen Rongshan was not surprised: "Be careful and don't drink too much."
When children grow up, they don’t like to celebrate their birthdays at home. Both Du Yuanwen and Du Yuanzhe are like this.
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "I am the God of Longevity, and I am the one who will give them wine."
Zhao Zhimeng said: "Lu Xuan has been very successful these past few months."
Du Yuanwen laughed and said, "He achieved his success by stepping on Jiang Chelin. With Jiang Chelin's personality, there's no way he would let him go."
Du Yuanzhe immediately asked: "Brother, have you received any news?"
Du Yuanwen: "You don't know yet? I guess Lu Xuan didn't tell you because he was afraid of being embarrassed. You can ask him tonight."
Zhao Zhimeng wondered, "Why don't I know?"
"You've been absorbed in work and pregnancy lately, so you don't have time to pay attention to what's going on in their circle. And it only happened in the past two days, so it hasn't spread yet."
The more Du Yuanzhe listened, the more curious he became, so he called Lu Xuan directly.
"Lu Xuan, I heard that Jiang Chelin took revenge on you?"
Lu Xuan was trying to pretend nothing had happened, but when he heard this his face suddenly turned pale: "Damn, which bastard betrayed me? They clearly promised to keep it a secret."
Du Yuanzhe: "Tell me what's going on."
Seeing that he couldn't keep it secret, Lu Xuan no longer concealed the truth and told Du Yuanzhe about it.
The main reason was that Lu Xuan was too low on guard. After successfully tricking Jiang Chelin once, he thought he was very powerful. He was still on guard against Jiang Chelin at first, but after a few months, when he saw that Jiang Chelin did not take any action at all, he forgot about it.
This guy recently got a girlfriend, whose appearance and personality completely met his aesthetic standards. Lu Xuan was very concerned about his girlfriend and often took her to various parties. Just half a month later, his girlfriend cheated on him at a party and was caught in bed by someone else.
Lu Xuan's face turned black on the spot, and he was so angry that he wanted to beat up the adulterer, but the adulterer was stronger than him, so he failed to beat him up and got beaten up instead. He lost all his face for a moment.
The eyes of the young masters at the party when looking at Lu Xuan suddenly changed. Lu Xuan had been showing off in front of them a lot in the past few months, and many people wanted to see him having fun.
Lu Xuan couldn't beat the man, so he could only hope that this embarrassing thing would not be spread. At that time, everyone swore to him that they would definitely not say anything nonsense, but who knew that this group of bastards would sell him out in the blink of an eye. This news was spreading little by little in the circle.
Du Yuanzhe asked, "Did Jiang Chelin find that woman?"
Lu Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "I have already checked. She is the lady of the club. Jiang Chelin specially let her play me. I thought I was lucky to meet someone who met my aesthetic taste. I wanted to slowly advance the relationship. But I haven't even kissed her yet, and she has slept with someone else."
Puff——
Du Yuanzhe couldn't help laughing. Lu Xuan was the worst. He thought he had met his destined girl, but it turned out to be all fake. He must have suffered a great shock to his heart.
Lu Xuan heard his laughter and said bitterly, "Yuanzhe, this is not very kind of you."
Du Yuanzhe said: "This thing is hard to guard against. Who is Jiang Chelin? He is determined to take revenge on you. You can't hide from him even if you want to."
Jiang Chelin is really cruel.
Lu Xuan stepped on him to become famous in the circle, so he made Lu Xuan lose face in the whole circle, and he made him lose face as an adult.
These young masters care a lot about their reputation, and it is the greatest humiliation for their girlfriends to be caught in bed with someone else in public. Moreover, Lu Xuan still has some real feelings for them, so this hurts Lu Xuan even more.
This is the worst kind of murder!
Lu Xuan also knew this, and said calmly: "Jiang Chelin is indeed someone you can't mess with. I'd better stay away from him from now on."
He no longer had the intention to look down on Jiang Chelin.
Du Yuanzhe said, "Tit for tat. Jiang Chelin will not think of you anymore after he has taken revenge. You were implicated by me this time. I will compensate you someday."
Lu Xuan said, "You can't say that. You didn't force me at the beginning. I wanted to punish Jiang Chelin myself, and we succeeded. It's just that I was stupid and didn't realize I was deceived."
Lu Xuan was a little shallow after all, and couldn't tell whether a person was sincere to him or not. This showed that he had little experience and had never met someone who approached him on purpose. This could be regarded as a reminder for him.
Du Yuanzhe always felt a little guilty and said, "How about this, you tell me what type you like and I'll introduce you to a girlfriend."
Lu Xuan refused without even thinking: "Forget it, I've let it go. What's so good about women? They're not as good as wine."
Could it be that this guy has seen through the world?
Du Yuanzhe didn't want to provoke Lu Xuan any further, so he said a few words casually and hung up the phone.
Du Yuanwen looked at him and asked, "Have you asked everything clearly?"
Du Yuanzhe sighed: "I was careless. I always thought Jiang Chelin would only take revenge on me, but I didn't expect that he didn't intend to let Lu Xuan go. He actually thought of such a method. Lu Xuan must be scared by him."
Du Yuanwen said: "Jiang Chelin's current reputation is not undeserved. If he didn't have some tricks, how could so many people be afraid of him?"
"But this method is ultimately inferior, and can only be used to deal with a playboy like Lu Xuan."
Du Yuanwen looked at him jokingly: "You wouldn't fall for this trick, would you?"
Du Yuanzhe flatly denied: "Of course it's impossible."
Not to mention that he has someone in his heart, he is not as stupid as Lu Xuan who can't even tell whether the other person is sincere or not.
......
This afternoon, the Du family gathered together to celebrate Du Yuanzhe’s birthday. Everyone gave him a birthday present. After receiving the presents, he had only one thought - could he have another birthday?
Du Yuanwen and his companions are really generous.
His father gave him a house in Yancheng, his mother gave him a high-end handmade suit, his eldest brother gave him a luxury sports car, and his eldest sister-in-law gave him a famous watch.
After just one birthday, his income has far exceeded the salary for his two movies. No wonder rich people don’t take celebrities seriously. The two are really not in the same league.
Du Yuanzhe secretly asked Du Yuanwen: "Brother, will I be able to receive so many gifts in the future?"
Du Yuanwen smiled and ruthlessly broke his fantasy: "You're dreaming. Dad and I gave you these rewards because you performed well this year and learned to be filial to your parents."
Du Yuanzhe suddenly understood and said that the original owner had never received so many valuable gifts at once before.
Du Yuanwen said, "Your car is outside, just drive away when you leave."
Du Yuanzhe said excitedly: "Then I'll go out for a drive first."
Although he doesn't treat his sports car as his wife like other men, he still has a unique feeling for it.
What man doesn't want to experience the feeling of driving a sports car?
After Du Yuanzhe finished speaking, he took the key and went out. He soon saw the silver luxury sports car in the garage. The hood of the sports car was open at this time, and he could see the configuration inside the car at a glance. He didn't know much about cars, but he smelled the scent of money at the first sight of this car.
Du Yuanzhe opened the car door with the key and immediately closed the hood. It might be an actor's occupational disease, he didn't like being stared at. And based on the reputation of this car, the rate of people turning their heads when he drove it on the road was absolutely 100%.
Du Yuanzhe started the car and left the Du family's old house. As the car gradually accelerated, he was surprised by the speed of the sports car.
No wonder so many people like to drive a sports car. The feeling of smoothness is so great, and the silky speed makes them feel like they are driving at the speed of light.
When they were about to arrive at Qianying Entertainment Company, Du Yuanzhe called Xia Ningmi and said, "Qiqi, come down quickly. I'll take you for a ride."
Xia Ningmi didn't understand what was going on. When she left the company and saw the luxury sports car that had attracted countless people's attention as soon as it stopped, she immediately understood what Du Yuanzhe meant.
Xia Ningmi ignored everyone's gazes, opened the car door and got in. Du Yuanzhe immediately started the car and disappeared in a flash.
Du Yuanzhe breathed a sigh of relief: "I still underestimated the appeal of this car."
Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Birthday present?"
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Qiqi is really smart, my brother just gave it to me."
Xia Ningmi said: "If you like, I can also give you one."
She has a lot of luxury cars in her garage, but no sports cars.
Du Yuanzhe waved his hands and said, "One of these things is enough. I don't have a sports car collection habit."
"I want to take you for a ride today."
His first thought after getting the sports car was to take Xia Ningmi for a ride.
Xia Ning glanced at the roof and asked, "Just going for a ride like this?"
It would be a waste of the car's speed if you couldn't feel any wind at all.
Du Yuanzhe thought about it and said, "I'll open the roof when we get on the highway."
There is a road near Yancheng that is suitable for driving. Since we are planning to go for a drive, of course we should enjoy it to our heart's content.
......
While the two were enjoying the ride, someone had already posted a photo of Xia Ning getting into a luxury sports car online.
The luxury sports car and Xia Ningmi, these two highlights quickly attracted a large group of people to watch, and the popularity was getting higher and higher. It became a hot search an hour later. This was the time when people were slacking off at work, and they were extremely idle. The real-time comments increased at an alarming rate.
"Wow, it's so cool to see President Xia driving a sports car. I want to see how President Xia drives (love heart)"
"A sports car should be paired with a beautiful woman, and a luxury sports car should be paired with a stunning beauty"
"Alas, I can't afford it. To Mr. Xia, it's just a drop in the bucket."
The netizens who clicked in at the beginning didn't read the content carefully at all. They subconsciously thought that the sports car belonged to Xia Ningmi, so they praised it as usual and then envied the life of rich people.
直到有當時的目擊者指出跑車不是夏凝覓的，而是有人開跑車來接夏凝覓，評論開始有了變化，并且評論增加的速度變得更快。
網友起了吃瓜的心思，無數人猜測到底是誰開跑車接了夏凝覓。
或者直白點說，他們就想知道夏凝覓是不是談戀愛了。
無數網友跑到千影娛樂官微下詢問，甚至一些粉絲已經開始痛哭失去老婆。
但他們不知道官微也在震驚，管理官微的工作人員詢問身邊的人：“夏總談戀愛了？”
那人下意識道：“開什麽玩笑！”
這根本就是不可能的事好不好！
直到那人看到熱搜，整個人都被震驚到了。
“這，這是夏總？”
“我特意打電話了，前臺說夏總之前确實離開了公司。”
他最開始甚至懷疑這是夏凝覓的雙胞胎姐妹。
“這事我們處理不了，上報給秘書處吧。”
此時，秘書處也在看熱搜。
悅悅道：“哇哇哇，總裁的神秘男友終于露面了。”
“哪裏哪裏？”
其他人紛紛圍過來，卻只看到夏凝覓和跑車的照片。
“切，就一輛跑車，還沒有車牌號，算什麽露面？”
悅悅不服氣：“好歹出現了一次。”
“不過這車可不便宜，算是運費和一些雜七雜八的花費，沒五千萬下不來。”
“就是不知道這是總裁給他買的，還是他自己買的。”
程雨道：“不是總裁買的。”
這種車肯定得提前訂，如果是夏凝覓買的絕對瞞不過程雨。
程雨知道今天是杜元哲的生日，估計是他收到的生日禮物。
唉，又是日常嫉妒富二代的一天。
悅悅聽言興奮道：“那豈不是說總裁的男朋友很有錢，大概率和總裁門當戶對，難不成是青梅竹馬兩小無猜？”
“很有可能，以總裁的性格，只有長時間陪在她身邊的人才能俘獲她的芳心。”
“可是，總裁身邊真有這種人嗎？為什麽我們不知道？”
秘書處可是最了解夏凝覓的人。
悅悅猜測道：“我們才跟在總裁身邊兩三年，萬一那人一直在國外，最近才回國呢？”
其他人覺得有道理，不是沒有這種可能。
程雨明知道真相卻不能說一句話，只能任由她們胡亂猜測。
這時候公關部的電話打過來，詢問該如何處理這件事。
......
另一邊，杜元哲也接到了劉旭的電話，他直接開着擴音：“劉哥怎麽了？”
劉旭的情緒莫名：“你去公司接夏總了？”
杜元哲道：“對啊，我們正在兜風呢。”
劉旭嘆氣：“你直接去公司接夏總也就罷了，為什麽還這麽高調，開那麽貴的超跑去，生怕別人注意不到你們嗎？”
杜元哲問：“有人拍照了？”
“何止啊，夏總被超跑接走的熱搜已經爆了，所有人都在找開車的人是誰。”
杜元哲道：“這一點你不用擔心，汽車公司是不會洩露客戶信息的，不過他們有拍到車牌號嗎？”
劉旭道：“這倒沒有，也算是不幸中的萬幸了。”
只是好事者随手一拍，他們不是專業狗仔，沒有拍車牌號的意識，主要是也沒有那個時間，杜元哲在公司門前就停了幾秒。
杜元哲：“既然這樣那就不用理會了，等時間一長他們見沒熱鬧看也就散了。”
劉旭叮囑道：“你小心點。”
他這邊剛挂了電話，夏凝覓的手機響了。
夏凝覓淡聲道：“不用理會！”
說完就把電話挂了。
杜元哲道：“公司那邊也問你這件事？”
夏凝覓點頭：“一群人跑到官微下問跑車的主人是誰。”
夏凝覓當然不可能回答，她沒有回答網友問題的義務。
杜元哲苦笑：“還是我警惕性太差，這跑車确實太高調了。”
【看來效果不錯】
夏凝覓扭頭看他：“你在算計什麽？”
剛才她就發現杜元哲并沒有他表現得那麽緊張。
杜元哲疑惑：“什麽？”
“哪怕是不懂跑車的人，看到這車都知道價值不菲，你開車去公司接我，不會想不到被人圍觀。”
夏凝覓得出結論：“你是故意想被人拍到。”
杜元哲臉色一僵，無奈道：“七七別這麽聰明好不好？”
“你想公開？”
杜元哲看着前方，道：“暫時還不行，不過宣示主權還是可以的。”
錄制《鄉下小屋》的時候，他先是見到夏凝覓的小迷弟，又親耳聽着馮茂幾人八卦夏凝覓和蔣澈霖。
他心裏能舒服才怪。
兩人現在還不是公開的時候，但不露臉也可以宣示主權，他這幾天一直在找機會，杜元聞送的跑車正好給了他機會。
本來一切都在按照他設想的那樣發展，結果轉眼就被夏凝覓看穿，他果然瞞不過夏凝覓。
夏凝覓收回視線：“你可以提前告訴我，我會配合你。”
杜元哲道：“我一個人也能完成。”
主要是他之前一直調侃夏凝覓醋壇子，結果發現自己也好不到哪兒去，讓他不好意思和夏凝覓說太多。
這只是個小插曲，夏凝覓并不在意杜元哲宣示主權的行為，他們本就是情侶，哪怕杜元哲想要公開，夏凝覓都會配合他。
......
杜氏，總經理辦公室
助理敲門走進來，面色古怪道：“杜總，您看看這個。”
助理把熱搜上的那張照片給杜元聞看。
杜元聞一眼就認出夏凝覓，緊接着就看到自己剛剛送給杜元哲的跑車。
雖然照片中沒有拍到車牌號，可杜元聞親自送出去的禮物怎麽可能認不出來。
又看了眼微博內容，整個人震驚了。
忍不住詢問助理：“這是我讓你訂的那輛車？”
他開始懷疑自己可能認錯了。
助理肯定地點頭：“就是這輛。”
這輛車是助理親自去提的，他比杜元聞還熟悉。
最關鍵的是，整個煙城只有兩輛這個牌子的超跑，想認錯都不可能。
杜元聞得到肯定回答，莫名想起之前蔣老爺子壽宴上夏凝覓和杜元哲跳舞的情景，當時就驚掉了一群人的眼睛。
當時杜元哲好像說過他和夏凝覓交往的事，但杜元聞沒信，自己弟弟幾斤幾兩他是清楚的，心想夏凝覓再眼瞎也不能看上他啊。
如今看來，夏凝覓貌似真的眼瞎了。
杜元聞揮手讓助理出去，拿出手機下意識就想給杜元哲打電話，但剛撥出去就被他挂掉，轉而打給趙之夢。
“老婆，出大事了。”
一分鐘後，趙之夢走進總經理辦公室。
“你說的是真的？”
杜元聞讓她看那張照片。
趙之夢愣愣道：“小弟長能耐了。”
杜元聞很納悶：“夏凝覓怎麽會看上元哲？”
這實在讓人想不通。
趙之夢白他一眼：“有你這麽看不起自己親弟弟的嗎？元哲長得那麽帥，又潔身自好，哪一點不好？”
杜元聞道：“你又不是不知道他的性格，有時候就像個長不大的孩子，夏凝覓能受得了他時不時搞怪的性格？”
杜元聞在腦海中想象了下那個畫面，頓時打個冷顫，總覺得太過幻滅。
趙之夢笑道：“蘿蔔青菜，各有所愛，夏凝覓那麽強勢的人，或許就喜歡元哲這樣脾氣好的人。她要是選蔣澈霖那種性格的人，兩個人一天能吵八回。”
這一點倒是，杜元哲脾氣是真的好。
杜元聞道：“那我還打電話問不問？”
趙之夢搖頭：“別問了，元哲又不是小孩子，沒道理談個戀愛還和家裏報備，他願意說就說，不願意說我們就假裝不知道。”
杜元聞看着網上的熱搜，笑道：“就憑他現在這高調的樣子，我估計瞞不了多長時間。”
趙之夢突想到一件事，連忙問道：“媽會不會認出來這車？”
杜元聞愣了下道：“應該不會，媽沒見過。”
這車一直被杜元聞放在車庫，今天才送給杜元哲，陳蓉珊出門從不自己開車，更不會無緣無故進車庫。
趙之夢松口氣：“那就好。媽如果知道元哲談戀愛，估計會立刻打電話刨根問底。”
杜元聞想到之前陳蓉珊提起夏凝覓的态度，臉色變得有些古怪，莫名覺得今後家裏要熱鬧了。
......
杜元哲帶着夏凝覓在外面兜風到四點才返回花湖公寓。
這輛車已經上了熱搜，短時間他不會再開它，打算讓它在車庫吃灰一段時間。
“七七，你打算怎麽給我過生日？”
杜元哲騙杜家人說和路軒一起過生日，實際上他是把晚上的時間空出來和夏凝覓一起過，
夏凝覓道：“你不是想吃長壽面嗎？”
杜元哲愣了，他當時只是随口說說，沒想到夏凝覓真信了。
不過長壽面也簡單，下碗面條就行，倒是不用擔心夏凝覓弄出黑暗料理。
他剛松了口氣，在聽到夏凝覓接下來的話後心又提了起來。
夏凝覓道：“我上網查了，長壽面就是一根面條，網上有詳細教程，按照上面說得的做應該很容易。”
She originally planned to find Cheng Yu to practice a few times, but after reading the tutorial, she felt that it was okay not to practice in advance. To make longevity noodles, she did not need to heat oil, cut meat slices of the right thickness, or add various seasonings in appropriate amounts. She only needed to knead the dough and then pull the noodles into noodles little by little. It looked very simple.
Du Yuanzhe's heart shuddered when he heard her words, and he twitched his lips and said, "Qiqi, do you know how to knead dough?"
Xia Ning said: "The tutorial has the specific ratio of flour and water. You just need to spend some time kneading it into a dough."
Obviously, Xia Ningmi is very confident in her learning ability.
Du Yuanzhe didn't want to undermine her self-confidence, so he said weakly, "Then I'll wait to eat the longevity noodles you make."
At this moment, he wanted to slap himself twice. He knew that Xia Ningmi would take his words to heart, but he still spoke nonsense.
He no longer had any extravagant expectations about the taste of the noodles, he only hoped that Xia Ningmi could make the noodles successfully and not undermine her confidence in her learning ability that she had built up since she was a child.
Xia Ningmi was very mobile. As soon as she got home, she took out the electronic scale she had used before, weighed out the flour and water she would need, and then found a basin to start kneading the dough.
She must have memorized the entire tutorial again, and she even knew to add water little by little. Once all the water was added, she began to knead the dough.
Du Yuanzhe watched her movements and guessed that she should have memorized the three tips for kneading dough - light noodles, light bowl and light hands.
But unfortunately, this is not something that can be done just by knowing it.
Du Yuanzhe once thought that kneading dough was easy, but in fact he was unable to knead the dough into a smooth dough the first time he tried.
And now Xia Ningmi was repeating her previous failure, and she also failed to follow the Three Lights formula.
A few minutes later, Xia Ningmi looked at the ugly dough in the basin and fell into deep thought, with quite a bit of dough still stained on her hands.
The dough she kneaded was not smooth at all, and she didn't even knead all the flour in the basin. The bottom of the dough was stuck to the bottom of the basin and could not be kneaded smoothly at all.
In short, it is far from what is said in the tutorial.
The author has something to say:
