Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Tong Xin forced herself not to shed tears. After all, she put on makeup to see someone. It took her a long time to finally hold it back. new

Seeing that Tong Xin was speechless, Zhou Rui handed over a pack of tissues and said, "Let's go in first, the place has been reserved."

Li Wenqian naturally walked side by side with Tong Xin. Although she knew that Tong Xin was moved, she still felt a little distressed.

Several people entered the mall and went directly to the Cantonese restaurant on the third floor. I guess everyone was tired from eating the local food and took the opportunity to change their taste.

Li Wenqian looked at the recently popular "Haidilao" sign and asked curiously: "Why don't we try Haidilao? It's so popular recently!"

Zhou Rui raised the cake in his hand: "No one carrying the cake can be fished out of the bottom of the sea alive."

Li Wenqian was curious: "Why?"

"The club is dead."

When he arrived at the reserved restaurant, Zhou Rui handed the cake to the waiter and asked him to refrigerate it before starting to order.

Tong Xin also adjusted her mood and discussed military training with a few people.

Song Bin: "Our shabby school is full of squeamish people. Military training is not interesting at all. There are 30 people in our class, and five of them asked for leave on the first day."

Although he is also a "rich second generation" in a broad sense, it does not prevent him from looking down on those pampered people. new

Due to Song Bin's personal experience, having a rich family is only his "characteristic", but not his "background". He was even depressed in high school, and it wasn't until he met Zhou Rui that he became cheerful.

In essence, his character and ideas are similar to those of his friends, so he looks down upon those in his school.

Zhang Xin was a little envious of the fact that Zhou Rui and the others had live-fire training: "We just stand in military posture every day, which is quite boring."

Zhou Rui had just finished ordering food, and Han Ziyin was also late. She had already returned to her aunt's house. When she heard there was a party, she changed her clothes and came out again.

She didn't make it to the last party, and everyone was having a heated chat again.

When they were almost done eating, Zhou Rui asked the waiter to help bring the cake.

Since they were in a public place, the few people did not sing happy birthday, but just lit candles and asked Tong Xin to close her eyes and make a wish. The girl's eyes turned red again.

I don’t know what I wished for.

Then everyone took out their gifts.

Sending gifts on birthdays is not a fixed procedure. This gathering is the first time for any of the friends to celebrate their birthdays in Shanghai, so everyone has a sense of ritual.

It's just a matter of feeling and joining in the fun.

Zhang Xin gave a book as a gift, which he bought temporarily in the bookstore just now. It was related to Tong Xin's professional "photography and videography". Since he was pressed for time and had to consider financial issues, he thought it was time to be simple.

Li Wenqian is an exquisite ornament that she bought just now at the gift shop on Daxue Road. It is a ceramic kitten. Inexplicably, she feels that Tong Xin's personality is a bit like a small, um, big cat.

The items are not expensive, just over a hundred yuan.

Song Bin gave an MP3 as a gift. He likes to tinker with these electronic products, so this is also the direction for giving. Originally, he wanted to give a mobile phone directly, but Zhou Rui stopped him.

It’s too expensive, and where can you give me a mobile phone?

Where do you put your eldest brother?

So I gave Song Bin a new one, Apple's latest "ipod nano", which is small and exquisite and costs about 800 yuan.

Han Ziyin gave a bottle of perfume, which seemed to be taken from home, and its value was unknown.

Only Zhou Rui didn't take out a gift.

Song Bin joked: "Boss, you didn't express yourself."

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "I was just looking for cakes. Do you know how many places I went to find the ready-made cakes? I could only buy one online and send it to Tong Xin."

Tong Xin has never received so many gifts in her life, nor has any birthday been treated with such solemnity. It feels like a dream in her heart.

Not because of the value of the gift, but because it made her feel that someone in this big and scary city still remembered her.

"No need Zhou Rui, I'm already very happy. This cake is my birthday gift."

She didn't know what to do to express her gratitude to her friends, but the smile on her face never left her face.

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "Let's eat the cake first. After we finish eating, I will take you to Daxue Road for a walk, so that you can see how prosperous the schools in the downtown area are."

After dinner and cake, the six friends left Wanda and strolled along the pedestrian street of Daxue Road. There were restaurants, shops on both sides, as well as some semi-open cafes and bistros.

There is a feast of lights and a petty bourgeoisie atmosphere.

Song Bin was envious: "This is so beautiful. It's just my fault that my grades are bad. There is no shit around our school."

Zhang Xin looked at the young people coming and going. He felt like he was in a market. Compared with the commercial street at the back door of his school,

Except that fried rice is more affordable, there is no competitiveness

Six people were sitting in a semi-open small bar, listening to the resident singer's melodious music and watching the hustle and bustle on the street, creating a unique atmosphere.

None of them drank, but ordered some non-alcoholic drinks. Song Bin listened to the resident singer for a long time and said, "The voice and appearance are okay, but the pitch is a little off."

Zhou Rui turned around and saw a female singer in her twenties on the stage. She couldn't see clearly due to the lighting, but she seemed to have pretty good looks.

"What's wrong? You want to sign someone?"

Song Bin said embarrassedly: "How can I have the courage? If I want to sign, the boss will sign it."

Zhou Rui shook his head: "I don't have time to do this. Besides, we can do production just fine. We have no resources and no experience. Signing people is just asking for trouble."

Song Bin looked at the lively scene on Daxue Road and looked up. The second floors of the shops along the way seemed to be some training institutions and the like. He said, "Boss, I think the atmosphere here is quite good, and it's all Young man, it’s also close to your school, why don’t we open our studio here?”

Zhou Rui looked around and felt that it did mean something.

"What about you? Your school isn't close to here."

Song Bin said: "To tell you the truth, boss, my school is a place where you pay money to get a diploma. They are all young masters and ladies who have money at home but are not good at studying. From teachers to students, they are very perfunctory. They all went abroad in their second and third years. I wasn’t going to learn anything real.”

"I originally wanted to be on Quyuan Road, but now I feel that the atmosphere here is better, and it is more convenient for you and Li Wenqian to come."

Zhou Rui thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible. If you find a suitable house, let's talk about it. Find a house on the second floor, not too big."

As the current main source of income, Zhou Rui still pays more attention to music.

Seeing the boss nodding, Song Bin put the matter on the agenda.
