When the sun sets and the night falls, the Jiangjia Hotel is brightly lit and full of people.

Jiangjia Hotel had a good reputation as early as when it was still called Hongyun, and the business was prosperous, and it was later bought by Jiang Li and given to his parents, and it was on the next level, but tonight it was even more popular than usual, the hall on the first floor was crowded, and the long queue at the door even went all the way to the other side of the street, why is this?

It turned out that in order to celebrate his sister Lianyi's birthday, Jiang Li specially decided to give a 50% discount to all the consumption in the hotel tonight, which is a real half-price, not half a point of falsehood, unlike those promotions that raise the price first and then discount or shoddy, in addition, he also let the Wude, Liu Hui, Liu Yueyu Band and Tingting Yuli Group under the Bird Record Company perform in the hall, which has the meaning of having fun with the people.

This move is like stabbing a hornet's nest, attracting a tide of guests, for fear that they will miss the opportunity if they are late, they only hate that the Spring Festival is short, if they know that Jiang Li, Jiang Ripple, Zhang Nara and other idols gathered in the best private room upstairs, I am afraid that there will be a collective riot.

Although Jiang Li has paid attention to controlling the scale of the birthday party, many people have not been notified, but there are still many attendees, first of all, the five members of the Jiang family: Jiang Li, Ripple, Jiang Mu, Shui Mengying and grandfather Jiang Hongdao, and then the three members of the Zhang family: Zhang Nara, Zhang Guoli and Liu Lili, and then the other three members of the angel group: Xu Xiaoyun, Zhou Mengyan and Zheng Xiaofei, even brought Li Wanrong, Zheng Xiaohua and their parents were also present, as well as Tang Shishi's family, Shu Yutong, Liu Qianqian, Zhou Zi, Yan Fei, Li Mo, Mi Xue and Mi Qi's mother and daughter.

Wang-Lin Feng, the general manager of Jiangjia Hotel, was not invited, but he personally pushed the dining cart in to deliver food, and after being busy, he almost regarded himself as an ordinary waiter, so that Jiang Li was a little embarrassed, so he smiled and invited the other party to take a seat, Wang-Lin Feng was immediately flattered, and carefully moved a seat, and sat down with half of his ass restrained, making Jiang Li speechless for a while.

As a result, a total of twenty-six people attended the party, but fortunately the round table prepared in advance was large enough, otherwise it would not have been possible to sit down.

The most conspicuous thing on the round table is not those exquisite dishes, but a one-meter-high fifteen-layer super cake placed in the center, which is specially customized by Jiang Li for Ripple's fifteenth birthday, which is decorated with strawberries, apples, oranges and other fruits, as well as colorful cream to draw and shape the pattern, each layer is written in a different font "Happy birthday to Jiang Ripples", and fifteen candles are inserted, and in the center of the top floor sits a cute chocolate bear.

Tonight's protagonist Ripple is sitting beside Jiang Li obediently at the moment, looking sideways at half of his handsome face, watching him calmly greet everyone to eat, his eyes are rippling with infinite tenderness, all of this is carefully planned for her by her favorite brother, she feels that she is really the happiest sister in the world, and the whole person seems to melt in the fifteen layers of cream.

After the five flavors of the dish, the atmosphere gradually warmed up, laughter and laughter continued, and warmth filled the box, so after a while, Jiang Li saw that everyone had eaten almost, so he got up and said with a smile: "Without further ado, let's enter tonight's theme." ”

Wang-Lin Feng immediately understood, opened the door and summoned a team of service personnel who had been waiting outside for a long time, and cleaned up the cups and plates on the table in three times and five by two, and a total of two hundred and twenty-five candles on the fifteen-layer cake were also lit, and the lights in the room were turned off, which suddenly made people's eyes shine, like a shining pyramid in the dark.

Just when everyone was amazed by this rare beauty, they only heard Jiang Li say loudly: "Now, there is something I want to ask you to cooperate." ”

Everyone's attention was attracted by Jiang Li's words, and they listened attentively, and they were curious and puzzled in their hearts, because Jiang Li didn't reveal anything in advance, so everyone didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Jiang Li looked around and smiled mysteriously: "Actually, it's like this, I made a birthday song, so I hope everyone can sing with me." ”

Wow - there was a lot of commotion in the crowd, I didn't expect Jiang Li to directly compose a song for his sister's little birthday, it was simply "willful", so that those who racked their brains couldn't think of how embarrassing a song was, and at the same time, people like Zheng Xiaohua's parents who were not very good at singing were also a little overwhelmed, because if they sang hard or couldn't sing, it would be embarrassing, of course, there were also people who were excited and eager to try, such as Tang Shishi and Zhou Mengyan, who couldn't wait to witness Jiang Li's new song immediately.

Jiang Li seemed to guess the difficulties of some people, so he explained seriously: "Please believe me, this song is very, very simple, even a three-year-old child can sing it quickly after listening to it, okay, listen to me sing it first." ”

After saying that, Jiang Li turned to face the ripples, with a doting face, and sang affectionately while clapping a brisk rhythm with his hands: "I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday." ”

When Jiang Li sang the last "Happy Birthday to You", the rippled tears couldn't help it, and the crystal pure light flashed under the reflection of the candle flame, she quickly turned around and buried her head in Zhang Nara's arms, making Jiang Li confused and at a loss.

Zhang Nara couldn't help but laugh when she saw that Jiang Li was no longer at ease before, and said, "Okay, Ripple is just shy of your singing, don't be nervous, go on, Ripple's good brother." ”

Jiang Li nodded embarrassedly, and Ripple cheered up her courage under Zhang Nara's encouragement and re-faced everyone, but she didn't dare to look at Jiang Li, not only her face was red, but even her eyes were red, everyone just thought she was crying with joy, and didn't think much about it, and then, under the leadership of Jiang Li, sang a song of blessings in unison: "I wish you a happy birthday......

This birthday song is indeed as Jiang Li said, no matter how simple, but its origin is not simple at all, in the original world, this "Happy-Birthday-to-You" (Happy-Birthday-to-You) is one of the three most popular English songs in the Guinness Book of World Records, translated into many Chinese, sung all over the world, enduring, its melody was originally written by the Hill sisters in 1893 when they were teaching at the school in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, originally used for classroom greetings, called " Good-Morning-to-All.

As for the lyrics of "Happy Birthday to You", that is, the simple repetition of a few sentences, I don't know who wrote it, and then I don't know how the copyright was acquired by Warners, and since then, whether it is using this song in film and television works on radio stations, or making toys or music greeting cards that can play the song, or even when someone sings this song, there are a certain number of listeners present and they are not relatives and friends, they have to pay!

It is said that therefore, in the United States, not to mention singers, even restaurant employees usually only shout "Happy Birthday" for customers' birthdays, and rarely sing to avoid infringement, and singing "Happy Birthday to You" in the movie is about $10,000, so most of the birthday songs in the movie have only one sentence, or simply replace them with other songs, and Warner has made at least millions of dollars with this birthday song, which is simply terrifying.

Of course, all of this has now become Jiang Li's ...... (To be continued.) )
