Even if Hu Die didn't mention her birthday in the WeChat group, Zhou Yiyang would definitely send her his sincere birthday wishes and gifts.
What's more, Hu Die also invited Zhou Yiyang to celebrate her birthday together.
"Besides me, is there anyone else I know?" Saturday sunlight came in through the window and fell on Zhou Yiyang's face.
"Jiang Xiaoliang!" There were a few girls laughing over there. Hu Die was shopping with her bestie: "Brother Yang, my friends all want to see you. You must come tonight!"
"Okay, your sister isn't going?" Zhou Yiyang sighed slightly. After all, he is an understanding boss!
"I spent it at home yesterday, and I'm going out with friends today. My sister definitely won't come!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yiyang walked to the mirror and tidied his hair.
Not bad, already very handsome.
The only regret was that he couldn't see the final result of the performance on TV first.
Hu Die was eating at a Korean restaurant near her alma mater. Zhou Yiyang had never understood how rice cakes and fried chicken became their country's specialties...
Hu Die specially booked a private room. In her opinion, Zhou Yiyang is now well-known enough to be a star. If he is surrounded by people asking for his autograph, wouldn’t she, the birthday girl, lose her spot as the center?
When Zhou Yiyang entered, the private room was already full of people.
He didn't expect that as soon as he reached the door, the people inside stood up in unison as if they had received professional training.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou!" a chubby boy said excitedly, even offering to shake Zhou Yiyang's hand. This made Zhou Yiyang feel like this wasn't just a birthday party, but a handshake party for him.
"Just call me Brother Yang. Everyone, please sit down. It's quite a grand occasion. I'm here to celebrate Hu Die's birthday today. She is the protagonist." Zhou Yiyang handed the gift to Hu Die generously.
Although Hu Die couldn't tell what the gift was from the packaging, she knew Zhou Yiyang's character and knew that the gift must be very valuable.
"Thank you, Brother Yang." Hu Die happily accepted the gift, and then looked proudly at a girl at the same table who was drinking lemonade with her head down.
Let’s go back two hours.
"Butterfly," five girls, after a day of shopping, stopped at a milk tea shop to rest. A girl with long, flowing hair, while admiring her nails, asked casually, "Is Mr. Zhou Yiyang really coming to celebrate your birthday?"
"Yeah," the girl with pigtails next to her put down her phone. "What boss would celebrate their employees' birthdays specifically? That's so fake!"
"Really." Hu Die smiled slightly: "Although he is my boss, privately he is like an older brother."
"Really?" the long-haired girl propped up her chin with her hand. "Then I really envy you. Back then, my mom always told me not to hang out with that Hu Die, saying she was a poor student and a socialite. I never thought you'd even know the big boss now. So, are you familiar with Bai Yueguang's people?"
"I know them well!" Hu Die seemed not to understand the other party's hidden meaning: "The sisters are very nice, but they are busy recording the show, so I won't bother them."
The long-haired girl said, "I thought they would send you birthday wishes! After all, they are big stars, different from us little people."
If Zhou Yiyang were here, he would definitely ask Hu Die loudly, why did you invite her!
Friendship between girls is really a science.
"Brother Yang," Jiang Xiaoliang was one of the only people Zhou Yiyang knew here. He gestured for Zhou Yiyang to sit next to him, "Brother Yang, about us..."
Zhou Yiyang directly covered Jiang Xiaoliang's mouth with his hand: "We'll talk about work another day."
Jiang Xiaoliang nodded and tactfully changed the subject.
Zhou Yiyang's appearance had clearly stirred up a stir in the room, with almost everyone trying to find ways to chat with him. However, Zhou Yiyang always ended the conversation by bringing up today's protagonist, Hu Die.
This also surprised many people. It turned out that Hu Die did not lie, and Zhou Yiyang had a really good relationship with her in private.
To say they weren't envious would be a lie. After all, a month ago, Hu Die was just like them, or even worse than them. But now, she seemed to have embarked on a completely different path.
"Brother Yang," the long-haired girl said, seeming to be full of courage again after drinking the lemonade. "Is Hu Die working as Bai Yueguang's assistant? Do you think I can do it? We were classmates in junior high school. My grades were better than hers back then. You might consider me."
Zhou Yiyang was caught off guard by a side plot where two fake besties turned on each other in public. He gave the answer without hesitation:
"It seems Hu Die didn't explain it to you clearly. She is Bai Yueguang's exclusive makeup artist, not an assistant. I chose her not because she's a bad student or lucky, but because she has good makeup skills. Since you're a good student, you can achieve something if you study hard."
The girl with long hair understood that Zhou Yiyang spoke so tactfully because he was considering her, and she immediately lowered her head in shame.
She lost her mind because of jealousy!
So the long-haired girl, feeling completely ashamed, found a lame excuse to leave early.
Hu Die's mood didn't seem to be affected by this incident at all. When her alarm went off, she immediately turned on the TV in the private room: "The new episode of 101 has started!"
"You've been to the scene to see it, and you're still so enthusiastic." Zhou Yiyang said with a smile.
"That's different. Who knows what the editing city will be like, and I want to see if I will be on TV."
Hu Die, who was sitting next to Zhou Yiyang, got to appear on TV as she wished, although she was only a background board for Zhou Yiyang, the main star of the camera.
Later, even Jiang Xiaoliang joked: "Brother Yang, you must have paid for it, there are so many shots!"
Zhou Yiyang was also helpless: "I didn't expect them to keep filming me. I was really just watching the performance!"
When Wang Xingrui appeared on stage, everyone in the private room cheered. They were also amazed by Wang Xingrui's contrasting performance.
When Lin Xuan'er was injured, a boy even covered his chest nervously. He seemed to be a fan of Lin Xuan'er.
"Is Lin Xuaner okay in the end?" everyone asked with concern.
Zhou Yiyang nodded: "It will be fine in two days, but I also reminded her to be more careful next time."
Although Su Yin's performance still had flaws, it had already shown considerable improvement in the eyes of the general audience. Zhou Yiyang glanced at the comments, which were mostly positive.
The host took the statistical results and handed them to Luo Chen.
"The place suddenly became much quieter," Luo Chen joked about the clearing. "I'm sure all 71 of you are nervous, as am I. First of all, I want to announce that the most popular performance of this concert is from Group 5! Congratulations to Captain Wang Xingrui and your team!"
