Chapter 188 September 27 (Fifty One/One Hundred Thirty Six)
The birthdays of Chang Sheng and Avril Lavigne are on the same day, which was only discovered by the two in the first half of this year.
They didn't know the date of each other's birthday before.
Later, during a small talk, Chang Sheng accidentally said that he basically spends his birthday in a busy way every year, and he didn't spend his birthday well at all.
Avril then asked: "Uncle, when is your birthday? I will celebrate it for you then!"
Chang Sheng answered her: "September 27th."
Then he heard a piercing, high-pitched scream from the phone.
Chang Sheng was so frightened that he almost dropped his phone. He put the phone away and covered his ear with his other hand, feeling a dull pain in the eardrum.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
"Why didn't you tell me before, uncle?" Avril Lavigne shouted excitedly on the phone.
"Tell you what?"
"Tell you that your birthday is September 20th!"
"You didn't ask me... Besides, you won't be so excited if you know this, right?" Chang Sheng was at a loss.
"Do you know when my birthday is? Uncle!"
"It's impossible for a day..." Chang Sheng curled his lips.
"September 27th! September 27th, 1984!"
Chang Sheng was stunned.
"We were born on the same day, uncle! Is this what you mean by 'fate'?"
In this way, the two found out that they had the same birthday despite being different ages.
So Avril excitedly expressed that she would celebrate uncle's birthday with him on his 30th birthday.
At that time, Avril Lavigne's new album hadn't been released yet, and she was busy with it every day.
Chang Sheng didn't care about it, because no one could tell what happened in the future. Who knows what will happen then?
And after the new album came out,
If the response is super good, Avril Lavigne will be famous in one fell swoop. After becoming a star, she will no longer be able to go wherever she wants, and she will be bound by countless rules. Her manager would tell her there were a lot of things not to do, and her record company would tell her things to watch out for. If she still has a commercial endorsement, then her sponsor will also tell her what things are prohibited.
She is no longer a person who can go wherever she wants. An ordinary girl who puts on a backpack, picks up a guitar and sets off.
By then, he wants to come and celebrate his birthday?
I'm afraid it won't work out in the first place on the schedule.
Avril Lavigne apparently hasn't realized how her life will change when she is about to become a public figure.
Although Chang Sheng is also a public figure, he does not rely on nothing to show his face in front of the public. And touring around to live a life. But just like this, his time is also very tight, and he is no longer free.
He used to think that if he had money, he would be free.
But now he finds that being rich may not be free, because you have to make a lot of sacrifices in order to be rich. Put a lot of effort into doing things you might not be willing to do.
Unless your money fell from the sky and was picked for nothing, then he is quite free...

Chang Sheng always believed that the incident was just a whim of a little girl, and it was fine to talk about it.
Unexpectedly, he received a call from Avril a few days ago. On the phone, Avril Lavigne told him that she would come to Spain for publicity in late September, including a special stop in Valencia, and asked Chang Sheng not to arrange anything at that time, waiting for her to celebrate two people's birthdays with him .
Only then did Chang Sheng realize that Avril Lavigne was serious at the beginning.
Then on September 26, he met Avril Lavigne at the Valencia airport.

On the 27th, the team resumed normal training. After the training, Rudy Gonzalez stopped Chang Sheng: "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Chang Sheng asked.
"Give you a birthday, thirtieth birthday!"
Chang Sheng was very moved. Unexpectedly, Rudy Gonzalez still remembered his birthday, and planned to celebrate his birthday.
But he still turned down Rudy Gonzalez's proposal.
"Thank you, Rudy. But I already have a date."
Rudy Gonzalez said that Chang Sheng looked him up and down, then pointed at him and said, "Which beauty are you dating?"
Chang Sheng rolled his eyes at him.
"No comment!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without even asking Rudy Gonzalez to send him back.
Rudy Gonzalez watched his back as he left in a hurry. Rubbing his chin: "Is there a problem?"

Chang Sheng didn't go home directly, but 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. Because it is so big here, it takes a long time to shop around to buy something. Chang Sheng didn't have the time and mood.
Come here today. It's for preparing ingredients for dinner.
The central market covers an area of more than 8,000 square meters and is a closed dome-shaped building. If you look at the appearance. You'd think of this mosaic-inlaid Mediterranean-style building as some sort of convention center, or tourist attraction, but it's actually Valencia's farmers' market.
It is one of the best large markets in Europe, with more than a thousand stalls, selling vegetables, fruits, ham, poultry eggs, fresh meat and seafood, and the market is colorful. If you are a tourist, you can also experience the living conditions of ordinary Valencians here.
A woman with a child in her arms is chatting with a familiar vendor, an old man wearing reading glasses lingers in front of dozens of types of ham, and children are running and laughing in the market...
But Chang Sheng is not in the mood to appreciate these things.
He took out the list, pushed the shopping cart, and began to buy one by one.
The man bought things simply. It didn't take long for him to choose what he needed, and then he went home with big bags and small bags.
The first thing I do when I get home is to turn on the stereo, listen to Avril Lavigne's new album, and then go to the kitchen to get busy.

Avril looked absent-minded.
The promotional activities in the afternoon were over, and she thought it would be all right, and began to plan the "prison break" in her mind-how would she sneak out of the hotel, avoid her manager, the record company, and others, and go to Find uncle.
But who would have thought that the organizers would suddenly come and say that they knew that today was Avril Lavigne’s birthday, and they specially arranged a surprise for Avril Lavigne—they organized Avril Lavigne fans in Valencia to hold a birthday dinner together for her !
Avril Lavigne stared wide-eyed at the representative of the organizer.
Seeing Avril's appearance, the representative thought it was really a surprise for the other party. I laughed happily.
But then Avril closed the door and lost her temper with her manager and record company: "No one informed me that there was such a damn birthday party! I don't need to have this bastard birthday!"
Manager Cliff Fabry and record label representative Ken Krongard both had to face the wrath of the rebellious teenage girl.
The two of them looked at each other, they didn't know why Avril would lose her temper so much. In fact, they knew that there was still this birthday party, but the organizer specially notified them, asking them not to tell Avril Lavigne, and must give Avril Lavigne a surprise when the time comes.
Birthdays are a great gimmick. The idea of having a birthday with fans is a great idea. Doing so can strengthen fans' stickiness to Avril Lavigne and increase the number of Avril Lavigne's fans. So they didn't stop either.
Unexpectedly, Avril Lavigne seemed very dissatisfied.
And no one knew why she was dissatisfied.
Cliff Fabry persuaded: "This is your eighteenth birthday, Lavin. This is a very important birthday..."
"How about eighteen? Can I get married at eighteen? Or can I drink alcohol? I have already!" Avril was still furious.
Neither the manager nor the record company representatives understood what she was throwing.
Avril was very clear that she was angry because she had already made an appointment with the uncle. We want to celebrate birthdays together, especially uncle's 30th birthday.
Uncle said that in China, thirty years old is a very important age, because at the age of thirty people will be completely independent. So it's a very important birthday.
Such an important day. I absolutely have to be by Uncle's side.
But now she was stopped by a sudden birthday party arrangement...
If there was no such thing as the uncle's birthday, she would be more than happy to accept the host's kindness.
But now she just wants to swear.
"It's clearly not on the itinerary, can I refuse to attend?" She asked the two people.
The two looked at each other again, and finally her agent Cliff Fabry stood up and said: "Uh... LaVine, it's just that you don't have this arrangement on your itinerary, because to surprise you... actually we Everyone's itinerary has this arrangement..."
"It means I can't refuse to attend, right?" Avril Lavigne asked, staring at her agent.
Fabry nodded.
Avril Lavigne persisted: "What if I have to refuse?"
At this time, Ken Krongard coughed, and then said: "Lavin, I advise you to quickly dispel those unrealistic thoughts... If you refuse to attend, you will need to be responsible for the losses caused to the organizers alone Bear it. And most importantly, if you refuse to attend, there will be a lot of negative news about you the next day. It will definitely be a damage to your personal image..."

In the end, Avril Lavigne came out with her agents Fabbri and Krongard and attended a birthday party specially organized for her.
About fifty of her die-hard fans were very happy to see Avril Lavigne come out in casual clothes. When Avril Lavigne smiled at them, some girls even burst into tears.
The organizers are very satisfied with this effect.
Avril Lavigne's agent and Krongarde are also very satisfied with this effect.
Fearing to be intimidating, they finally succeeded in persuading Avril Lavigne.
Avril Lavigne was wearing 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 more refreshed.
Give people a completely different image from the stage.
after coming out. Avril Lavigne first used the Spanish she learned temporarily to thank the fans for being so enthusiastic and organizing this birthday for her.
Cliff Fabry and Ken Krongard were at the side, paying attention to Avril Lavigne's expression. Seeing her smile on her face, she was relieved...
Then there are small gifts that fans have carefully prepared for Avril Lavigne.
Avril Lavigne opened each gift to see, and then exclaimed with joy.
Seeing the gift she prepared, Avril Lavigne liked it very much, and the fans were also very satisfied.
The atmosphere at the scene was joyous...
