Chapter 312


    Gu Jingyuan walked over. "Shi Jin, your friends are here."


    Shi Jin looked over and saw a few old friends. After Ye Ke and Wang Boyan''s college entrance


    examination, their dressing and demeanor had be more mature.


    Ye Ke was a little reserved at first, but when she saw Shi Jin, she rushed over excitedly and said


    loudly, "Happy birthday, Shi Jin."


    "I brought you a present." Wang Boyan handed the item over.


    "Thank you." Shi Jin epted it. "I thought you guys were attending summer camp in America and


    couldn''t make it back in time."


    "I''d already predicted your birthday and nned to rush back at this time. Even if you hadn''t invited


    me, I would have done it myself," Ye Ke said proudly.


    Shi Jin smiled. The corners of her lips curled up into a bright and valiant smile. "It''s a good thing that


    I invited you. Otherwise, you would have missed out on me."


    The three of them chatted andughed for a while more. When Ye Ke saw that her other friends had


    come, she pulled Wang Boyan away and sat to one side obediently.


    The person who came this time was Gu Qinghua.


    Ever since she left ''Ultimate Singer Songwriter'', although she was not as popr as Shi Jin, her


    career had been stable and her business activities were stable.


    After oveing the problem of appearing on stage in public, her stage presence had also


    improved greatly. Her career could be said to be going smoothly.


    Meeting again now, she was apanied by a dutiful manager who took care of everything for her.


    Although they had not seen each other since thepetition, Gu Qinghua took off her sunsses


    the moment she saw Shi Jin and smiled like a little girl. "Little Stone!" She opened her arms and


    hugged Shi Jin. "I missed you so much."


    "Me too."


    "I finally have the chance to see you. You have no idea how much I missed you."


    "If you miss me in the future, look for me on WeChat."


    How could Shi Jin not know why she had not been looking for her recently?


    Gu Qinghua had signed a contract very quickly after thepetition. Being in fourth ce, she did


    not sign with Diamond Music, but with anotherpany.


    If Gu Qinghua came to look for her, she would be able to gain a lot of poprity. That was what her


    company thought. They urged her to look for Shi Jin and act as her best friend so that they could


    act in sister roles, because of this, not only had Gu Qinghua not openly looked for Shi Jin, she had


    even avoided arousing suspicion on Weibo.


    The more she cared about this rtionship, the more she was afraid of tarnishing it.


    Shi Jin understood her concerns and had heard about Gu Qinghua from Yao Jiahong.


    Gu Qinghua was really treating her as a friend.


    Shi Xuexin and Chu Ling were waiting outside. Before Chu Ling''s friends arrived, they saw a few


    people from the entertainment industry. First came Gu Qinghua, then Yu Guannan.


    There were even the famous producer, Liu Ning, who had been very popr recently, and a few


    popr artists who had participated in "Burning Sun, Long Sky."


    Shi Xuexin felt a little sour in her heart. Shi Jin''s current circle of friends was really different from


    before.


    She subconsciously reached out to hold Chu Ling''s arm and consoled herself. "Shi Jin has only


    made friends in the entertainment industry. Those are nothing. Brother Chu Ling has more than her.


    Now that I have made some progress in the business world, I can make friends with masters like


    Wen Wang. There''s no need for me to be calctive with Shi Jin."


    Chu Ling thought so too. He lowered his head and said to her, "My friend wille overter. You''ll


    be surprised to see him."


    Shi Xuexin understood. The friends that Chu Ling could bring were definitely more famous than Gu


    Qinghua, Yu Guannan, and the rest.


    A momentter, Cai Xinyi, the current boss of the Unquestionable Answers app, came over,


    followed by the current boss of the beauty and skincare product line Allure, Zhou Feng, who


    unlocked the door.


    Shi Xuexin subconsciously asked, "Do the big bosses of these endorsementpanies personally


    attend an artist''s birthday?"


    Chu Ling frowned. That was impossible. Those big shots had so many things to do every day. No


    matter how much they valued celebrities, they would only arrange for the relevant department


    heads to celebrate. How


    could they personally go to such events?


    He did not respond. He only felt that Shi Jin''s birthday was a little ridiculous. Was this all arranged


    by Gu Jingyuan?


    After Cai Xinyi and Zhou Yue unlocked the door, a few familiar faces appeared.


    Shi Xuexin''s pupils constricted. It was Ji Huan and Principal Lu.


    As the top student of Second High School and the city''s top schr, Shi Xuexin had invited


    Principal Lu to attend her eighteenth birthday. However, Principal Lu only arranged for his secretary


    toe over and had note personally.


    The difference between the two immediately became apparent.


    The people behind them looked a little unfamiliar, but Shi Xuexin had seen the Mathematical


    Olympiad Competition before. She quickly remembered. Weren''t these the teachers who had been


    leading the national team?


    Shi Jin was really shameless. She had actually sent out invitations so widely. Was she going to


    invite everyone she knew?


    Shi Xuexin''s fingers tightened secretly. If she had known this would happen, she would have sent


    more invitations. There was no reason for her to be at a disadvantage over such a trivial matter.


    Chu Ling looked at the teachers thoughtfully.


    He recalled that when Shi Jin was young, her grades had indeed been not bad and she had always


    been able to


    endure studying. When had her grades plummeted?


    Chu Ling furrowed his eyebrows. He recalled how he had decisively abandoned all her matters


    back then and felt an inexplicable sense of mncholy.

    Shi Jin had just weed Liu Ning and Yu Guannan. When she saw Principal Lu and the others,


    she was stunned for a moment. She said to Liu Ning, "Producer Liu, help me keep Teacher Yu


    company."


    Liu Ning and Yu Guannan sat to one side and chatted happily.


    "Principal Lu, Teacher Ji... Teacher Xia, Teacher Fang, Teacher Wu!" Shi Jin''s birthday really did not


    rm these teachers.


    She knew they were busy, and she had no intention of causing them any trouble.


    Ji Huan was the first to speak. "Why? It''s only been a few days since you graduated, and you didn''t


    tell me about your birthday? Are you afraid that I''de over to control you, so you avoided me?"


    "Why would I? I just know that you guys are usually busy. It''s unusual for you guys to have a break,


    so I didn''t want to cause you any trouble."


    "You still have to tell us about your birthday. Principal Lu and I have already spoken about it. No


    matter what, we have to share your joy."


    "Wee!" Shi Jin knew their intentions as elders and was speaking sincerely.


    Teacher Fang said, "As for me, firstly, I want to celebrate your birthday. Secondly, I wanted to set up


    aption of the internationalpetitions over the years. There''s also..."


    "Teacher Fang, you really have a lot of reasons foring here today. Don''t forget that today is my


    sister''s birthday. She''s the most important person in the world today. One or two things is not


    enough, so you even have a third reason to talk to her?" Gu Jingyuan walked over, smiling as he


    teased.
