Chang Sheng and Avril Lavigne's birthdays are on the same day. This fact was only discovered by the two in the first half of this year.
Before, they didn't know what month and day the other's birthday was.
Later, during a casual chat, Chang Sheng accidentally mentioned that he basically spent his birthdays every year busy and never had a good birthday 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 shrill scream coming from the other side of the phone.
Chang Sheng was so frightened that he almost dropped his phone. He took it away and put his other hand around his ear. He still felt a dull pain in his eardrum.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
"Why didn't you tell me before, uncle?" Avril shouted excitedly on the phone.
"Tell you what?"
"I told 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 confused.
"Do you know when my birthday is? Uncle!"
"It can't be just one day..." Chang Sheng curled his lips.
"September twenty-seven! September 27, 1984!"
Chang Sheng was stunned.
"We were born together, uncle! Is this what you call 'fate'?"
In this way, the two people discovered that they had birthdays on the same day, even though their ages were different.
So Avril excitedly expressed that she would come and celebrate the birthday with her uncle on his thirtieth birthday.
At that time, Avril Lavigne's new album had not yet been released, and she was busy working on it every day.
Chang Sheng didn't care in his heart, because no one can predict what will happen in the future. Who knows what will happen then?
And after the new album is released, if the response is super good, Avril will become famous in one fell swoop. Once she becomes a star, she will no longer be able to go wherever she wants. She will be bound by countless restrictions. Her manager will tell her
There are many things she is not allowed to do, and her record company will also tell her what things she needs to pay attention to. If she has commercial endorsements, her sponsors will also tell her what things are prohibited.
She is no longer an ordinary girl who can go wherever she wants, put on her backpack, pick up her guitar and set off.
By then, he wants to come celebrate his birthday?
I'm afraid it won't fit in the schedule first.
Avril Lavigne obviously hasn't realized how her life will change after she is about to become a public figure.
Although Chang Sheng is also a public figure, he makes a living by appearing in public and traveling around for publicity. However, his time is very tight and he no longer has freedom.
He used to think that if he had money, he would be free.
But now he finds that having money may not necessarily mean freedom, because in order to have money, 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.
Unless your money fell from the sky and was picked up for free, then he is very free...

Chang Sheng always thought that the matter was just a little girl's whim, and she could just talk about it.
Unexpectedly, he received a call from Avril Lavigne a few days ago. Avril Lavigne told him on the phone that she would come to Spain for promotion in late September, including a special stop in Valencia, and asked Chang Sheng not to arrange anything at that time.
, waiting for me to celebrate two birthdays with him.
Only then did Chang Sheng realize that Avril was serious at first.
Then on September 26, he met Avril Lavigne at Valencia Airport.

On the 27th, the team resumed normal training. After the training, Rudy Gonzalez stopped Chang Sheng: "Let's go."
"Where to go?" Chang Sheng asked.
"Happy birthday to you, my 30th birthday!"
Chang Sheng was very touched. Unexpectedly, Rudy Gonzalez still remembered his birthday and planned to celebrate it for him.
But he still rejected 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 beautiful woman did you date?"
Chang Sheng rolled his eyes at him.
"No comment!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without even asking Rudy Gonzalez to send him back.
Rudy Gonzalez looked at his hurried away figure and rubbed his chin: "Is there something wrong?"

Chang Sheng did not go home directly, but first went to the Central Market in the city center, which was not far from the apartment he rented.
But Chang Sheng doesn't go here very often. It's because it's so big and it takes a long time to go shopping. Chang Sheng doesn't have the time or mood.
I came here today to prepare ingredients for dinner.
The Central Market covers an area of more than 8,000 square meters and is a closed dome-style building. If you look at the appearance, you will think that this Mediterranean-style building with mosaics looks like a gathering center or a tourist attraction, but in reality
Up here is the Valencia Farmers Market.
It is one of the largest markets in Europe, with more than a thousand stalls selling vegetables, fruits, ham, eggs, fresh meat and seafood. The market is colorful. If you are a tourist, you can also experience the ordinary tiles here.
The living conditions of the Lencian people.
A woman holding a child is chatting with a familiar vendor, an old man wearing reading glasses is lingering in front of dozens of varieties of ham, and children are running and laughing in the market...
But Chang Sheng was not in the mood to appreciate these things.
He took out the list, pushed the shopping cart, and started shopping one by one.
The man simply went shopping. It didn't take long for him to choose what he needed, and then he returned home carrying large and small bags.
The first thing I do when I get home is turn on the stereo, listen to Avril Lavigne's new album, and then go to the kitchen to get busy.

Avril seemed distracted.
The afternoon promotional event was over, and she thought it would be all right, so she began to plan a "prison break" in her mind - how she would evade her agent, record company, and other people, sneak out of the hotel, and go to
Find the uncle.
But who would have thought that the organizer would suddenly come over and say that they knew today was Avril Lavigne’s birthday and had specially arranged a surprise for Avril Lavigne – they organized Avril Lavigne’s fans in Valencia to hold a birthday dinner for her.
!
Avril Lavigne looked at the organizer’s representative with wide eyes.
When the representative saw Avril's appearance, he thought he had really given her a surprise and laughed happily.
But then Avril got angry at her manager and record company behind closed doors: "No one informed me that there was such a damn birthday party! I don't need to celebrate this bastard's birthday!"
Manager Cliff Fabry and record company representative Ken Krongard both had to deal with the wrath of the rebellious girl.
The two of them looked at each other. They didn't know why Avril lost such a temper. In fact, they knew that there was a birthday party, but the organizer specifically notified them and asked them not to tell Avril and they must give Avril a birthday party at that time.
surprise.
Celebrating birthdays is a good gimmick, and the idea of celebrating birthdays with fans is great. Doing so can strengthen fans’ stickiness to Avril Lavigne and increase the number of Avril Lavigne’s fans. So they didn’t stop her.
Unexpectedly, Avril seemed very dissatisfied.
And no one knows why she is dissatisfied.
Cliff Fabry advised: "This is your eighteenth birthday, LaVine. This is a very important birthday..."
"What about being eighteen? I can get married when I turn eighteen, right? Or should I say I can drink? I can do it a long time ago!" Avril was still angry.
Neither her manager nor her record company representatives understood what she was fuming about.
Avril knew very well that she was angry because she had made an appointment with her uncle to celebrate birthdays together, especially his thirtieth birthday.
Uncle said that in China, thirty is a very important age, because by the age of thirty, people will be completely independent. So it is a very important birthday.
On such an important day, I must be by my uncle's side.
But now she was stopped by an unexpected birthday party arrangement...
If there was no such thing as uncle's birthday, she would be happy to accept the organizer's kindness.
But now she just wants to use foul language.
"This is clearly not on the schedule, 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... Raven, it's just that you don't have this arrangement on your itinerary, because in order to surprise you... actually we
Everyone has this arrangement on their itinerary..."
"That means I can't refuse to attend, right?" Avril asked, staring at her manager.
Fabbri nodded.
Avril Lavigne refused to give up: "What will happen if I must refuse?"
At this time, Ken Krongaard coughed, and then said: "Laver, I advise you to quickly give up those unrealistic ideas... If you refuse to attend, the losses caused to the organizer will need to be dealt with by you alone.
Bear it. And the most important thing is, if you refuse to attend, a lot of negative news about you will spread the next day. This will definitely be a damage to your personal image..."
※※※
In the end, Avril came out with her managers Fabbri and Krongaard to attend a birthday party specially held for her.
About fifty of her die-hard fans present were very happy to see Avril Lavigne change into casual clothes. When Avril Lavigne smiled at them, some girls even cried with excitement.
The organizer was very satisfied with the result.
Avril Lavigne's manager and Krongaard were also pleased with the effect.
For fear of being frightened, they finally succeeded in convincing Avril Lavigne.
Avril Lavigne was wearing a plain T-shirt and a pair of black denim shorts, and her colorful hair was tied into a ponytail. She looked much more relaxed.
It gives people a completely different image from the one on stage.
After coming out, Avril Lavigne first used the Spanish she had learned temporarily to thank the fans for being so enthusiastic and organizing this birthday for her.
Cliff Fabry and Ken Krongaard were nearby, paying attention to Avril's expression. Seeing a smile on her face, they breathed a sigh of relief...
Then fans sent them small gifts carefully prepared for Avril Lavigne.
Avril opened each gift and looked at it, then exclaimed with joy.
Avril liked the gifts she prepared and her fans were also very satisfied.
The atmosphere at the scene was joyful... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature to recommend this work as a registered member. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
