5. Birthday
When he arrived at the hotel, Li Man said hello when he entered the door, and went upstairs directly with Tong Yu and Ai Xin. The boss behind this hotel is also the president of a brokerage company, there are few waiters and receptionists in the hotel, it is extremely difficult to book, generally through self-service, the private room is large and soundproof, plus the consumption is high, it is the first choice for many artists to gather and negotiate.
"Hey, let me tell you, I specially ordered your favorite ......" Li Man turned his head to talk to Tong Yu and pushed open the door of the private room. As soon as the door opened, there was already a table of people sitting inside, with wine and food on the table, apparently having eaten for a while.
"Oops, sorry to go wrong. Before Tong Yu and Ai Xin could react, Li Man immediately apologized, and the people at the table looked at them, and Li Man looked at a man at the table with an unexpected expression, "Oh, Mr. Wang, such a coincidence?"
The person known as Mr. Wang glanced at Li Man, he couldn't tell what the expression was on his face, the room was silent for a few seconds, Tong Yu looked around, and they were indeed people he knew.
"Xiao Man. Mr. Wang finally opened his mouth, stood up, and said hello, "This is Tong Yu, right, such a coincidence, you also come to eat?"
After Mr. Wang spoke, the atmosphere in the room eased, and everyone looked at them with smiling faces.
"Yes, Tong Yu has a birthday today, but I didn't expect to go to the wrong private room and disturb Mr. Wang's dinner. Li Man smiled embarrassedly and was about to exit the door.
"It's all here, let's have a glass of wine and go over, it's not easy to be so coincidental. When Mr. Wang heard this, he also smiled and picked up the wine glass on the table. The two men next to him should be assistants or secretaries, and after listening to this, they handed the wine glass to Li Man and Tong Yu. Tong Yu listened to what Mr. Wang said, and suddenly understood. Why did you go to the wrong private room, it should be that Li Man heard that Mr. Wang was eating here today, so he deliberately pushed the door in, showed his face and saw if he could meet some other so-called "presidents" by the way. Although Tong Yu didn't like this, he didn't dislike it either, he deeply understood that face was not worth mentioning in this circle, and Li Man did this for himself, so he immediately changed his smile and took the wine glass.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, then we might as well be respectful. Li Man took the cup and drank it down.
"That's a lot of alcohol. Mr. Wang smiled and put down the cup, but looked behind the two of them, trying to see the person hiding behind them.
"Isn't this Ai Xin?" Seeing that Mr. Wang had been watching, the assistant next to him opened his mouth and instantly called out Ai Xin's name.
"I'll just say it!" Mr. Wang laughed, and Tong Yu could see that this time it was a smile from the heart. Mr. Wang left his seat, walked in front of the three people, and frowned again, "Ai Xin, what are you doing hiding behind!"
"Hehe, Mr. Wang......" Ai Xin saw that he couldn't hide anymore, so he stood up and said hello quite embarrassedly.
"Okay, you won't tell me when you go back to Beijing. Mr. Wang pretended to be angry and said.
"Really not, Mr. Wang, I just arrived in Beijing on my plane this afternoon to catch up with an event, and this has just ended. Ai Xin smiled, she really didn't lie about this.
"That's over, just sit down and eat with us!" Mr. Wang pulled Ai Xin and was about to take a seat, but Ai Xin shrank lightly and withdrew his hand.
Ai Xin pointed to Tong Yu beside him, looking apologetic: "I'm really embarrassed, Mr. Wang, you see that my friend here has to accompany him on his birthday." This weekend, this weekend, you ask the secretary to call me, I will definitely mention myself, respectfully invite you to have a special meal!"
"Okay, you, flamboyant, if it weren't for Siwen thinking about you very much, I wouldn't have time to eat with you. Although Mr. Wang's words were ugly, he didn't look angry at all, and patted Ai Xin's arm, "It turns out that you have such a good relationship with Tong Yu." ”
"Hehe, then Mr. Wang, let's go first. Ai Xin showed a standard smile again, "This time I brought you the sea cucumber that my wife mentioned last time, and I will send it to you to the company tomorrow." ”
"Stop, stop, just get there. Go ahead and have fun. Mr. Wang smiled and returned to his seat, and several people at the table also said hello to Ai Xin, and the three of them exited the private room.
Out of the private room, the three of them didn't say a word, Li Man pushed open the private room next door, and sure enough, there were already a few people sitting in the room, and there was a huge cake on the table. Ai Xin took a look around, and they are basically people who can be seen in the entertainment industry: actors Jinghai, Jiang Xixi, Wu Yin, and singers Su Ya and Pepe, those who don't know their names may be amateur friends, but they may also be agents or behind-the-scenes friends.
"Tong Yu, you can be a little later!!" As soon as the door was opened, Jing Hai shouted. Ai Xin took a look, but she didn't expect that Xiaosheng, a hot idol in recent years, and Tong Yu are also friends.
"Hey, hey, there's a newcomer?!" Su Ya next to Jinghai stood up as soon as he saw Ai Xin, "Tong Yu, this is your girlfriend!"
Ai Xin shrank behind and didn't speak, Li Man smiled and waved his hand, and Tong Yu opened his mouth leisurely: "Li Man's friend." ”
"I'll just say, it's impossible for Tong Yu to fall in love!" Jiang Xixi laughed.
"That's right, how can a girl stand a turtle like him. Su Ya complained, and floated to Ai Xin's side again, "Then are you single!"
"I ......" Ai Xin was stunned and looked at Li Man as if asking for help.
"Don't make a fuss!" Li Man shouted, lifted Su Ya back to his position, and pressed down heavily before adding, "It's single." ”
"Hahahahaha-" Several people laughed, the expression on Su Ya's face was like a resurrection, the atmosphere was warm, and Tong Yu couldn't help but laugh too.
"Little sister, what are you doing, actor, singer, director?" As soon as she sat down, Su Ya leaned in front of Ai Xin and asked questions. In fact, without him asking, everyone can guess that Ai Xin is mostly an insider.
"I'm kind of an intermediary. Ai Xin smiled, and for a while he couldn't understand what he was doing day by day, "Producer." ”
"Woohoo~" Su Ya cheered, "Sure enough, it looks like a producer." ”
Ai Xin seemed to want to answer, Tong Yu also turned his head to look at her with some curiosity, but he didn't expect Ai Xin to immediately shut up again as soon as he saw Tong Yu turn his head.
"Hey, Tong Yu, can you stop intimidating people's little Ai Xin!" Su Ya followed Ai Xin's gaze, and sure enough, when she saw Tong Yu with an ice cube face, she shouted angrily.
"I didn't. Tong Yu turned his head speechlessly, strange, this Ai Xin seems to be able to talk to anyone, why does he look like he is being bullied, could it be that she was really scared in the lounge today?
"People are fans of Tong Yu, so they naturally have to be gentle in front of idols. Li Man answered, passed the motions, and looked at Ai Xin again. She was still thinking about the scene in the private room next door just now, Ai Xin is also an insider, it is not strange to know Mr. Wang, but it seems that the two are very familiar with each other during the conversation, if they can climb a high branch like Mr. Wang, how can Ai Xin be a small ...... Although curious, these words are also not to be asked. Li Man lost his thoughts, no longer bothered with Ai Xin's network, turned his head and asked: "By the way, Ai Xin, I thought you had something to do in Beijing, but I didn't expect you to arrive in Beijing in the afternoon?"
Although Li Man asked this to find a topic, Tong Yu was also a little curious, after all, they all felt that Ai Xin's answer just now was just a prevarication. Having learned the lesson just now, although Tong Yu was curious, he didn't turn his head to look at Ai Xin.
"Well, a good friend's mother is sick, but I don't have time to go back, so I'll go back to take care of my aunt on his behalf. Ai Xin nodded, "Although I bought the nearest ticket, I was still late for the birthday party......" After saying that, he secretly glanced at Tong Yu, and lowered his head a little apologetically.
Is that so...... Tong Yu was stunned, the person who will help take care of the family must be a very close friend, but in this era, it is very convenient to hire a nanny, and the hospital also has nurses, who fly over to take care of it, it should be more of a heart. Tong Yu suddenly felt a little sorry for the nameless fire in the afternoon, "Although I was late, it was good to come here", this sentence came to his lips, but Tong Yu still swallowed back: "Cut the cake." ”
"Cut the cake and cut the cake!!" As soon as the birthday star spoke, everyone became lively again, Jing Hai and Jiang Xixi turned around to get candles and paper plates, Wu Yin accompanied Su Ya to put on the birthday hat for Tong Yu, and Pepe walked to the door to turn off the lights.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, the candle hasn't been planted yet!" Jing Hai shouted, and turned his head to look at Tong Yu again, "How old are you this year?"
“......”
"Plug in two. Li Man replied.
"Ouch, it's started again, why do you care so much about age!" Su Ya laughed, "Jinghai, plug 33 into him!"
"33 you're big!" Tong Yu finally couldn't help but stand up, slapped his palm on Su Ya's head, looked at Jing Hai again, and said awkwardly for a long time, "Count the first birthday, 32!"
"Flutter. Ai Xin couldn't hold back for a moment and laughed, and the others laughed too. Jinghai nodded, and obediently put two candles on the cake: "Congratulations to Tong Yu's child for being two years old." ”
"Ready, I'm going to turn off the lights!" shouted Pepe as he stood next to the switch.
"Wait, wait, who's going to shoot the video!" Wu Yin reacted and asked.
"I'll shoot it. After all, it's a friend's birthday, and no one should want to appear outside the video, so Ai Xin took out his mobile phone and replied.
"Thank you, little Ai Xin. Suya smiled and shouted, "Pepe, turn off the lights and come here." ”
"It's coming, it's coming!" Pepe turned off the lights and hurried over.
"I wish you a happy birthday~I wish you a happy birthday~" Su Ya started up, and everyone sang along. Tong Yu glanced up at Ai Xin, who was recording a video, and she sang along with her mouth, but she didn't seem to make a sound at all.
"Make a wish! Make a wish! Make a wish! Make a wish!" After singing the birthday song, Suya took the lead and shouted again.
"Okay!" Although Su Ya was noisy, Tong Yu still couldn't hold back the smile on his face, closed his eyes and made a wish, and blew out the candle in one go.
"Happy birthday. Ai Xin turned on the light in the room, looked at Tong Yu standing in front of the cake, and couldn't help but whisper.
