Roaming in the world of film and television

At the front of the lawn are two Arabic numerals "3" and "0" made of flowers and light boxes, symbolizing Gu Jia's 30th birthday. Art lamps of various shapes are placed on the ground nearby, and a Yamaha piano, with flower baskets on both sides.

In the middle of the venue is a dining table several meters long, and it is not yet time for meals. Fruits, desserts, drinks and some small snacks are placed on it for guests to take by themselves.

Wang Manni glanced around, but didn't see Chen Xu's figure, so she couldn't help frowning.

Gu Jia noticed her expression: "What are you looking for? Xiaoqin sent a WeChat message saying that she just got off work and is rushing here with Zhong Xiaoyang."

"Zhong Xiaoyang? Did you invite him too?"

"Well, when I called Xiaoqin before, he answered it. He wants to celebrate my birthday. I can't refuse."

"Oh." Wang Manni nodded, feeling that it would be even more difficult for someone surnamed Chen tonight. It was only a few days after Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu divorced, and she found a rich second-generation boyfriend who knew how to love others. As Chen Yu's Brother, seeing my ex-sister-in-law with a young, outstanding, and rich boy, it's no wonder she wasn't stimulated.

Gu Jia said: "Why don't you play with Ziyan for a while first, he and my dad are in front, someone is coming over there, I'll go and entertain him."

"Okay." Wang Manni nodded, and went to play with Xu Ziyan.

And Xu Huanshan, Shen Jie, and Liang Zhengxian were talking about each other's love stories.

Half an hour later, the sky gradually darkened, and Zhong Xiaoyang came to the banquet hall with a large bag of flowers and Zhong Xiaoqin.

Wang Manni still didn't catch Chen Xu in the crowd.

When the modeling lights on the ground and the "30" lantern at the front were lit, a person walked from the entrance of the park.

"Chen Xu is here."

Gu Jia patted Xu Huanshan on the shoulder, stood up and greeted him there.

"Why are you here so late?"

"I originally wanted to pick someone up at the airport, but the plane was delayed. After much deliberation, things here are more important, so I came here first." After speaking, Lin Yue handed over a beautiful handbag: "Your birthday present."

"Thank you." Gu Jia took it with a smile.

Xu Huanshan said: "I'm waiting for you, take a seat quickly."

Lin Yue nodded, walked to the front of the long table and took a look.

The vacancy on Shen Jie's left is reserved for him, and on the right is Gao Qiang, the backbone of the fireworks company's business. The key is the people sitting on the other side of the long table. Wang Manni is directly opposite, Liang Zhengxian is next to him, and Zhong Xiaoqin and Zhong Xiaoyang are diagonally opposite.

If you think about it seriously, it would be hard to say that it was carefully arranged, because Shen Jie called him twice and three times to thank him, and he tactfully refused to invite him to dinner in order to settle the matter of those college students and the fireworks factory. , now that Xu Huanshan arranged for him to sit there, it should be Shen Jie's request.

And Shen Jie, as a good friend of the male host, it is only natural for him to drink with Liang Zhengxian.

"You're here." Shen Jie stood up and said, "I haven't seen you since I came out of the police station last time. Sit down quickly. You must have a good drink today."

Lin Yueyiyan sat down beside him.

Yoyo from the fireworks company proposes to sing birthday song.

Everyone agreed.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Amidst the singing and clapping, Gu Jia's father and Xu Ziyan pushed the cake trolley to the long table.

Just like in the drama, Xu Huanshan and Xu Ziyan first played a piece of music together, and then said something nasty to Gu Jia, and took out a specially customized diamond ring for today's birthday star.

Of course, the proprietress of the fireworks company celebrates her birthday without fireworks.

Boom~

Boom~

Boom~

Bouquets of colorful flowers bloom in the night sky, colored light rains down, red flames occupy the east, purple waves flash in the west, and then are covered by the swelling green of the south.

After a while, the fireworks rain stopped, and the waiter brought the cooked steak, smoked salmon, salt and pepper shrimp, vegetable salad and other dishes to the long table in turn. Xu Huanshan took Gu Jia's hand and toasted everyone, and the work was over Go a little behind and talk quietly.

Shen Jie toasted Lin Yue with a glass of wine, said sorry after drinking, and walked to the bathroom.

Zhong Xiaoyang cut the steak on the plate with a knife, and picked out the most delicate pieces of meat and put them on Zhong Xiaoqin's plate.

"Today is Gu Jia's birthday, you can no longer use weight loss as an excuse not to eat."

Zhong Xiaoqin glared at him, but did not refuse the little milk dog's overtures. While picking up a piece of meat with a fork and putting it in her mouth, she aimed at the opposite side intentionally or unintentionally.

She didn't speak, but the meaning revealed by her eyes was simple and clear. Compared with when I was not divorced, I was living a very good and wonderful life. People like Chen Yu are not as rich, considerate and interesting as Zhong Xiaoyang. She really regrets not Divorce early.

Over there, Liang Zhengxian raised his goblet to touch Wang Manni with a devilish smile, and took a sip from the glass.

"Gu Jia and Mr. Xu are really an enviable couple. I want to learn from him."

Wang Manni said: "Then you have learned something."

Liang Zhengxian said: "It doesn't matter, I can work hard."

"How hard?"

"I love you as much as I work hard."

Wang Man shook his body slightly, smiling brightly, and also glanced at Lin Yue intentionally or unintentionally, with a lot of small emotions in his eyes.

Don't you like me?

For this reason, he did not hesitate to hit her again and again, and tried every means to break them up. As a result, their relationship became more and more mature, and all the tricks of those villains became jokes.

Poor, sad, ridiculous people...

So do it to get her attention? He really thinks he is a domineering president.

Lin Yue looked amused at the two couples in front of him, one didn't know the green tea man, the other didn't know the boundless sea, tsk tsk...

"By the way, why didn't Chen Yu come? I remember seeing an invitation card with his name written on it from Gu Jia." The person who spoke was Gu Jia's father, Gu Jinghong.

Lin Yue frowned when he heard this, he didn't understand why the old man was so nervous, why didn't he open which pot and which pot he lifted?

Didn't he know that Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu had already broken up?

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoyang answered, "I heard that he no longer works at the TV station."

"Oh." Gu Jia's father showed a thoughtful expression.

This green tea is so cheap.

To say that Chen Yu can do well among this group of people is the job of the TV station. Now that he loses his job, it is natural that the enviable capital is gone.

The child is gone, the marriage is divorced, the wife has a new love soon, and now she even lost her job. Is it miserable? Poor or not?

Lin Yue quietly took out his phone, unlocked the screen, opened the WeChat app, and selected the user with Kilimanjaro snow top as the image, sent two text messages and applied for a video call.

After about thirty seconds, the video connection is established.

Lin Yue stood up and waved towards that side. Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan came over after seeing it.

"Yo, isn't this Teacher Chen?"

Xu Huanshan recognized the face in the middle of the screen at a glance.

"Mr. Xu, hello."

"I heard from Gu Jia that you went out to relax?"

"Well, I'm in Africa now. I heard from Chen Xu that today is Gu Jia's birthday, and I specially chose a place with a good signal to camp. Not to mention, the 4G broadband here is okay, and there is basically no lag."

Gu Jia interjected, "Africa? Teacher Chen, you ran so far."

"Actually, I've wanted to come here for a long time, but I never had the chance." He said apologetically after speaking, "I wanted to ask Chen Xu to buy a gift for you to bring there, but I felt too hasty, wait for me to go back, go back I'll make it up for you."

"Thank you, Teacher Chen."

"No……"

He wanted to say that you are welcome, but he was interrupted by something, the camera shook for a while, and a white man with a big nose flashed in the middle of the screen.

"Chen, you have to help me, Chen Yu is unreasonable."

The people on the camera side were stunned, unable to understand what was going on.

Lin Yue said, "What's the matter? Mr. Smith."

"I thought he had some really good pictures of animals, so I chose the best one and submitted it to the BBC Wildlife Photography magazine, and they replied that it would be in the next issue, which was a real pleasure, but He actually lost his temper and thought I was nosy. Oh, this is too hurtful." The big nose in the picture has a SOSAD expression.

"Thank you, Smith, I think you are doing the right thing."

"Have you heard, Chen Yu, beauty knows no borders. Wu, come, bring me the photos you developed today in those guys' camps in Michigan."

The camera shakes slightly, and a photo appears on the screen.

The morning light ignited the horizon, and two black rhinos, one big and one small, were walking slowly in the direction of the rising sun on the grassland under the dim light. A courage to face the hardships of life.

"How? It's great. If it's available in East Asia, you'll see this image in the next issue of the BBC Wildlife Photography magazine."

"And this one..."

The camera flickers again, and it shines on a lioness and three cubs.

The lioness is squatting on a boulder, with her head raised to watch out for the distance, while the three cubs behind her are playing carefree beside her.

"He spent almost a whole day in the sweltering bushes in order to take this photo. I have never seen anyone like him."

"Okay, Smith, do you have to make my embarrassing story known to everyone?" Chen Yu snatched back the phone.

"How is this embarrassing? You are the best animal photographer I have ever seen." Smith's praise came from the side.

"That's the photographic equipment provided by my brother."

"Oh, are all Chinese as humble as you? But I think too much modesty is an insult to talent."

"..." Everyone at the birthday party was dumb. Those who knew English were dumbfounded listening to the bickering, while those who didn't understand English listened.

"Chen Yu, check if the color is right, I might... overcook the vegetables again." A woman's voice came faintly from the loudspeaker.

"Hey." He agreed, and turned back to look at the camera: "Jane has a little problem, let's stop here today, and we will talk later when we have time. Gu Jia, happy birthday."

Gu Jia glanced at Xu Ziyan, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, those two photos you took are the best birthday presents for me. I will definitely buy the next issue of BBC Wildlife Photography Magazine and keep them for collection."

"good!"

Chen Yu disconnected the video connection.

The audience was silent.
