Chapter 188: September 27
Chang Sheng and Avril Lavigne's birthdays are on the same day, and this situation was only discovered by the two in the first half of this year.
Neither of them knew what month or day each other's birthdays were.
Later, during a small talk, Chang Sheng happened to say that he basically spent his birthday every year in a busy way, and he didn't have a good birthday at all.
Avril then asked, "Uncle, when is your birthday?" I'll give it to you then! β
Chang Sheng replied to her: "September 27." β
Then he heard a shrill and shrill scream coming from the other side of the phone.
Chang Sheng was so frightened that he almost threw away his phone, he took the phone away, and covered his ear with his other hand, feeling some faint pain in his eardrum.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked.
"Why didn't you tell me before, uncle?" Avril shouted excitedly on the other end of the phone.
"Tell you what?"
"I'll tell you it's September 20th!"
"You didn't ask me...... Besides, wouldn't you be so excited if you knew this? "Chang Sheng is confused.
"Do you know what my birthday is? Uncle! β
"It's impossible to ...... in one day," Chang Sheng pouted.
"September 27! September 27, 1984! β
Chang Sheng was stunned.
"We're born in the same day, uncle! Is this what you call 'fate'? β
In this way, the two find out that they turned out to be on the same birthday, despite the difference in age.
So Avril excitedly said that she wanted to celebrate her uncle's birthday with her uncle on his thirtieth birthday.
At that time, Avril's new album had not yet been released, and she was busy with it every day.
Chang Sheng didn't care about it, because no one could say for sure what would happen in the future. Who knows what the situation will be?
And after the new album comes out, if the response is super good, Avril will become famous in one fell swoop. When she becomes a star, she can no longer go wherever she wants, she will be bound by countless rules and regulations. Her manager would tell her that there were a lot of things she wasn't allowed to do, and her record label would tell her what to look out for. If she still has a commercial endorsement, then her sponsor will also tell her what things are to be forbidden.
She's no longer a person who can go wherever she wants. Put on a backpack and lift the guitar to set off as an ordinary girl.
At that point, he wants to come and celebrate his birthday?
I'm afraid I can't get it on the agenda in the first place.
Avril clearly hasn't realized what kind of changes will happen to her life when she becomes a public figure soon.
Although Chang Sheng is also a public figure, he does not rely on nothing to show up in front of the public, and travel around to promote his life. But just like that, his time is also very tight. Nor is it free anymore.
He used to think that when he was rich, he would be free.
But now he finds that having money is not necessarily free, because you have to make a lot of sacrifices, put in a lot of effort, and do things that you may not be willing to do in order to be rich.
Unless your money fell from the sky and was picked up for nothing, then he is very free......

Chang Sheng has always thought that that thing was a little girl's whim, just talk about it.
Unexpectedly, he received a call from Avril a few days ago, and Avril told him on the phone. He will come to Spain in late September to do publicity, including a special stop in Valencia, and asked Chang Sheng not to arrange anything at that time, waiting for himself to spend two birthdays with him.
Chang Sheng realized that Avril was serious at the beginning.
Then on September 26, he met Avril Lavril at Valencia Airport.

On the 27th, the team resumed normal training. After the training session. Rudy. Gonzalez pulled Chang Sheng: "Go." β
"Where?" Chang Sheng asked.
"Here's a birthday, my thirtieth birthday!"
Chang Sheng was very moved, but he didn't expect Rudy. Gonzalez actually remembered his birthday and planned to celebrate his birthday.
But he still rejected Rudy. Gonzalez's proposal.
"Thank you, Rudy. But I've already made an appointment. β
Rudy. Gonzalez looked Chang Sheng up and down, then pointed at him and said, "Which beautiful woman did you date?" β
Chang Sheng gave him a blank look.
"No comment!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, even let Rudy. Gonzalez didn't say anything about sending him back.
Rudy. Gonzalez watched his back as he hurried away. Rubbing his chin: "Conditioned?" β

Instead of going straight home, Chang Sheng first went to the central market in the city center, which was not far from his rented apartment.
But Chang Sheng doesn't usually go here much. Because it's so big, it takes a long time to shop for something. Chang Sheng doesn't have that time and mood.
Come here today. It's to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
The central market covers an area of more than 8,000 square meters and is a closed dome-type building. If you look at the outside, you will think that this mosaic Mediterranean-style building looks like a meeting center or a tourist attraction, but in fact it is a farmer's market in Valencia.
One of the largest markets in Europe, with more than 1,000 stalls selling vegetables, fruits, hams, eggs, fresh meats and seafood. If you are a tourist, you can also get a feel for the life of ordinary Valencians.
Women with small children chatting with familiar vendors, old men with reading glasses wandering in front of dozens of hams, and children running and laughing in the market......
But Chang Sheng is not in the mood to appreciate these things.
He pulled out the list, pushed through the shopping cart, and began to shop one by one.
It didn't take long for the man to choose what he needed, and then he went home with a bag of big and small bags.
The first thing I do when I get home is turn on the stereo, listen to Avril's new album, and then get down to the kitchen.

Avril looked absent-minded.
The afternoon campaign was over, and she thought it was all right, and began to plan a "prison break" in her headβhow she would sneak out of the hotel and find her uncle, avoiding her agent and the record company, and the others.
But who would have thought that the organizers would suddenly come to say that they knew that it was Avril's birthday, and arranged a surprise for Avril Lavril - they organized Avril fans in Valencia to hold a birthday dinner for her!
Avril looked at the organizer's representatives with wide eyes.
When the representative saw Avril like this, he thought he had really surprised the other party. Laughed happily.
But then Avril lost her temper with her agent and the record company behind closed doors: "No one informed me that there was such a damn birthday party!" I don't need this bastard birthday! β
Broker Cliff. Fabry and the record label representative Ken. Klungard has to face the wrath of this rebellious girl.
The two of them looked at each other, they didn't know why Avril was so angry. In fact, they knew that there was still this birthday party, but the organizer specially notified them, asking them not to tell Avril that they must surprise Avril at that time.
Birthday is a great gimmick, and the idea of having a birthday with fans is great. Doing so will strengthen the fans' attachment to Avril. Increase the number of followers of Avril Lavigne. So they didn't stop either.
Avril seemed dissatisfied.
And no one knows why she is dissatisfied.
Cliff. Fabry advised, "It's your eighteenth birthday, Raven. It's a big birthday ......."
"How about eighteen? I'm going to get married at eighteen, right? Or can I drink? I could have done it a long time ago! Avril was still angry.
Neither the agent nor the representative of the record company understood what she was angry about.
Avril knew very well that she was angry because she had made an appointment with her uncle to celebrate her birthday together, especially her uncle's thirtieth birthday.
Uncle said that in China, the age of 30 is a very important age, because at the age of 30, people will be completely independent. So it's a very important birthday.
On such an important day, I definitely have to be by my uncle's side.
But now she is stopped by a sudden birthday party arrangement......
If it weren't for my uncle's birthday. She was happy to accept the organizer's kindness.
But now she just wants to explode.
"If I don't have this on my itinerary, can I refuse to attend?" She asked two people.
The two looked at each other again, and finally it was her agent Cliff. Fabry stood up and said, "Uh...... Laven, it's just that you don't have this on your itinerary because it's to surprise you...... Practically all of us have this on our itinerary......"
"That means I can't refuse to attend, can I?" Avril asked, staring at her economic man.
Fabry nodded.
Avril was unrelenting: "What if I have to refuse?" β
This time Ken. Krogard coughed. Then he said, "Raven, I advise you to dispel those unrealistic thoughts quickly...... If you refuse to attend, you will be responsible for the losses caused to the organizers. And most importantly, if you refuse to attend, there will be a lot of negative news about you circulating the next day. It's definitely a damaging ...... your personal image."

In the end, Avril came out with her agents Fabry and Crongard and attended a birthday party just for her.
About fifty of her die-hard fans were happy to see Avril change into casual clothes. When Avril smiled at them, some of the girls even cried with emotion.
The organizers are very satisfied with the results.
Avril's agent and Crongard were also happy with the effect.
Fearing intimidation, they finally succeeded in convincing Avril.
Avril wore a plain T-shirt and a pair of black denim shorts. The colorful hair was also tied into a ponytail, and the whole person looked much fresher.
It gives a completely different image from the stage.
After coming out, Avril first used the Spanish she had learned to thank the fans for being so enthusiastic and organizing her birthday.
Cliff. Fabry and Ken. The two of them were on the side, observing Avril's expression. Seeing that she had a smile on her face, she breathed a sigh of relief......
Then it's the fans who give Avril their elaborate little gifts.
Avril opened each gift and looked at it, and then let out a joyful exclamation.
Seeing the gifts she prepared, Avril liked it very much, and the fans were also very satisfied.
The atmosphere was full of joy......
