Chapter 55: Birthday preparations (2-in-1)
Qiao Dai’s birthday soon spread among her acquaintances. As soon as she returned to COCO’s dormitory, she realized both the company and her fans had been preparing to celebrate, but because she had spent all her time in the program, she seemed to not have heard of it.
After knowing about this, Qiao Dai felt her heart warming. A subtle emotion spread in her chest and she fell on her bed with a soft sigh. She held her phone and wondered who she should invite.
Her sisters from the program were definitely getting invitations. So were the teachers, Meng Lingsi, as well as the boys from Sirius who had accompanied them for the second performance…
Qiao Dai listed names one by one until her eyes fell on Cheng Su’s name among her contacts. She blinked, silently sat up on the bed, and kept staring at the screen, not knowing what to think.
Would Cheng Su come to her birthday party?
Qiao Dai was not sure. She sat cross-legged and fell into an involuntary contemplation.
She kind of wanted to invite him but she didn’t know how to ask. After all, Cheng Su seemed to always be very busy and sounded almost always angry every time he spoke. Although she wasn’t sure if he really was, she did feel that he was always in a bad mood. Wouldn’t she waste her time if she invited him to something as trivial as her birthday?
“Daidai, you’re here. Sister Ling wants to know whether you like the hotel or not. If you don’t, she can find something else.”
The other girls opened the door of the dormitory and walked in when they saw Qiao Dai inside. She was in a daze on the bed and they hurriedly took her to fing Ling Na to check if she was satisfied with her birthday arrangements; Qiao Dai was famous now, and she definitely deserved a good party!
Qiao Dai still hadn’t decided whether she should ask Cheng Su or not, but as Luan Zhen and the others called her, she forgot about it and went with them to look for Ling Na. They walked to the office happily, where their agent awaited them with a smile.
She had just finished a call with a new investor. Many companies had heard Qiao Dai was about to celebrate a birthday party and had expressed their interest to sponsor venues, gifts, and other various items. COCO had already planned and negotiated several partnerships, but unexpectedly, more people were still contacting them only a few days before the party. Of course, Lin Na felt really happy about it; her smile reached both ears and she was determined to make the best birthday party ever.
“Qiao Dai, you’re here. Let me talk you through the party’s process.”
Qiao Dai listened to Ling Na’s detailed explanation and flipped through the thick planning folder in her hands, but the more she looked at it, the dizzier she felt.
She had originally thought she would spend an ordinary birthday with her friends, who knew there were so many things to do that day! From 8 in the morning to midnight, there were so many activities, including a live broadcast just like !
Luan Zhen looked at Qiao Dai and realized she was still in a daze. She smiled and said: “Daidai, this shows everyone loves you very much and they want to prepare such a grand celebration for you.”
Shi Qing also smiled. She nodded and added: “From now on, many people will come to our birthdays!”
Jiang Ruowei frowned as soon as she heard this. Wasn’t this a little inappropriate? They all knew Qiao Dai came from a small remote village and had no relatives back home. Even if there were some, such a family wouldn’t necessarily have celebrated her birthday and Jiang Ruowei was worried Shi Qing’s words would evoke sad memories. But as she thought about it, her throat choked and she couldn’t say anything.
“Yes, many people will accompany you on your birthday in the future.” After a long while, Jiang Ruowei whispered it too. Even if the sentence was a bit sad, this was a beautiful thing for Qiao Dai to look forward to.
While Qiao Dai and the others were discussing the party’s arrangement, the Internet also did.
[COCO’s birthday party for Qiao Dai is so elaborate, I admire it!]
[I heard that they have more than a dozen alternative venues, all of which are famous hotels. I guess we can all say Qiao Dai is the apple of COCO’s eye, can’t we?]
[Who do you think Qiao Dai will invite? The girls are still only trainees, how many really famous people will go? Maybe they shouldn’t stir up the topic so high, if no one comes in the end, that would be a huge disappointment.]
At first, only fans of Qiao Dai or the program were talking about the birthday party. But as the topic heated up, more passersby and provocative black fans joined the discussion.
Fans didn’t want to humor them, after all, this was about Qiao Dai’s birthday and they didn’t want arguments to pollute her mood. But more and more people came to provoke them and as the two sides were about to quarrel, Jiang Fengchi posted on Weibo to wish Qiao Dai a happy birthday and said he would give her a present at the party.
Soon after, the other mentors also revealed on Weibo they would attend, followed by Lang Xing who said “to leave a spot for him”. Qiao Dai might have only been just a newcomer, the black fans who had started to argue earlier could only stop and feel like they had been slapped in the face multiple times in a row.
[Why don’t we talk about how nobody would go to the party?]
[Oh my god, so many people are attending! Our baby Daidai’s popularity is great!]
[Daidai is an eternal favorite! Everybody she meets goes to her birthday! This mother fan is moved to tears!]
Netizens started to marvel at Qiao Dai’s popularity and wondered how she was doing it. She made so many people willing to befriend her, and all these people would stand up and speak of her any time she was scolded on the Internet. Who said anything about the scheming showbiz? This was obviously a warm family!
In addition to Qiao Dai’s fans, fans of the guests were also getting a little emotional. Not all of them had supported their idols and Qiao Dai’s friendship at first, especially fans of Jiang Fengchi who was considered the top idol of the country. Fans had been worried Qiao Dai just wanted to rub Jiang Fengchi and Lang Xing’s hype and fame for a while.
But after two public performances, they had gradually found Qiao Dai’s dazzling light and understood why people wanted to befriend her. After all, they also couldn’t help but fall in love with this girl.
[I’m so happy to see Fengchi is going to the birthday party!]
[+1. Although Fengchi is a top star now, we want him to laugh as much as before!]
[It’s been so long since Brother Fengchi attended a private party! I really hope he can come out of his shell and make more friends!]
Jiang Fengchi’s fans were the most touched because while they had witnessed the birth of a legend over the years, they had also realized the shadow and shame of being banned before had really hurt their idol. His teammates had turned their backs on him and ruthlessly discredited him under the company’s order and since then, he could no longer trust others.
Over the years, Jiang Fengchi had been focused on work. He had reached a top position step by step but his fans occasionally missed the former more easy-going Jiang Fengchi. They hoped he would come out of the shadows of his past, make more friends and be able to show a bright smile again.
As for fans of Lang Xing, their excitement was really different.
It was really not easy for him to get fans to begin with. Although he was fantastic and didn’t deliberately make people angry, his disappearances created trouble for everyone and he managed to make his own fans annoyed with him. People called him “little wolf boy” on the Internet and wanted to scold him on a regular basis.
But today, fans of Lang Xing were about to shed tears. Not only he hadn’t gotten mad at many people lately, he had also started to talk to others even on Weibo. They hoped Lang Xing would make friends in the entertainment circle, so as to not be blocked if he offended someone he really shouldn’t one day.
With Jiang Fengchi and Lang Xing’s fans joining the conversation, Qiao Dai’s birthday party, which was already hotly discussed, got once again a soar in popularity. It soon spread to the whole circle and everyone was surprised.
Nobody had expected the birthday party of a girl who had not debuted yet would bring such high traffic. The event hadn’t started and everybody could only wonder how incredible the discussion would be on the day of the party!
But while the discussion was in full swing, a sudden message was dropped like a bomb without warning and attracted everyone’s attention.
[Happy birthday, Ruan Tao.]
Ruan Tao’s name had long disappeared in the circle but was once again pushed to the public’s eye when a video celebrating Ruan Tao’s birthday in advance was displayed to the whole country on huge LED screens in major places, shocking everyone at Ruan Tao’s lavishness.
All of a sudden, this top rushed to the hot search and netizens couldn’t help but envy Ruan Tao and her family’s extravagance.
[Wow, this is too rich, right?]
[I went to look at Ruan Tao’s background and I came back. She’s really a rich little princess, I’m so jealous!]
[I wanted to see which company would do such a thing and it turned out it was Ruan Tao! Ah, the little princess’s birthday, ordinary people can’t compare.]
As people boasted and talked about Ruan Tao’s rich family background on the Internet, someone finally noticed something:
[Qiao Dai and Ruan Tao’s birthday are on the same day?!]
