Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 990: Day Party, Friends Reunite

February 13th is Xiao He's 26th birthday.

For Xiao He, it might not be important, but many people had already been secretly planning it.

Because this time coincides with the promotional period for the movie "Time and Space Standoff", Xiao He will definitely not be able to hold a birthday party this year, and everyone can only celebrate privately.

Even so, there are always different ways to celebrate a birthday. Whether it's the quiet company of parents at home, a private gathering with friends, or a blessing from the public, it's all unforgettable for Xiao He.

Especially when he saw that most of his friends, who rarely get together, were present today, Xiao He felt like he was being brutally attacked by their sincerity.

Here are his friends from before he entered the industry, friends he gradually got to know through collaboration within the industry, friends he just met recently, and friends he hasn't seen for a long time.

We used to be so busy that it was rare to get together. I always felt that one day in the future, we might just drift apart and it would be hard to see each other again.

How could I not feel regret? How could I not feel melancholy?

Until this moment, seeing those familiar smiling faces, all sorts of past memories came flooding back, and Xiao He couldn't help but become sentimental again.

"Thank you, thank you everyone!"

His throat was a little hoarse, but he was still able to maintain his composure. So, in Xiao Chen's lens, the young man who was surrounded by everyone in the center slowly developed a big smile on his face.

Thank you so much!

He thanked them loudly once more, then warmly embraced everyone there.

-

And so, Xiao He was surrounded by his friends as they lit the cake candles in front of him, and then sang, made a wish, blew out the candles, and cut the cake together.

Everything happened so slowly, yet so quickly. By the time Xiao He's malfunctioning brain started functioning again, he was already holding the last piece of cake he had saved for himself.

Xiao He only took a sip of the cream and knew whose masterpiece this cake was.

"He Xiaoshuai, isn't this another masterpiece of yours?"

Without much hesitation, Xiao He locked onto his target.

"Huh, is it that obvious?"

He Junhao said proudly, "It seems my cooking skills have improved again! It's also kind of you to have kept me in your thoughts all these years. You're just that good."

Xiao He was speechless: "You can tell who made this cake just by tasting it."

While it's true that this is his favorite flavor, only he could capture it so precisely.

It is very distinctive.

but--

"Thanks, it's delicious. You're truly amazing, Chef He."

Xiao He leaned in front of He Junhao's camera, held up the cake in his hand, and said very sincerely, "Everyone, please recognize Chef He! If he can't make it on the internet in the future, he'll open a cake shop. Please give him your support!"

He Junhao was so angry he laughed, and rolled his eyes: "Are you praising me or cursing me? My career is going incredibly well! You should be grateful you can eat my cake so easily! I'm already being generous by making it for you for free; nobody else gets this treatment!"

"Thank you, thank you for your support, godfather!"

Xiao He immediately and smoothly changed his tune.

"That's more like it!"

He Junhao was very satisfied, and then mentioned his other two old roommates: "By the way, you know about Lao Zhai's resignation, right? He went home to inherit the family business. Don't you think this kid is a little too low-key? His dad's company is about to go public, and he's only telling us now! This bastard wasn't usually this patient."

"What, what? I think I heard someone talking badly about me behind my back."

Someone behind him sneered, and Zhai Zhipeng walked over with his arms crossed: "Let me make this clear beforehand, my dad's company has only developed in the last two years. I didn't expect it either, we just happened to catch up."

He then couldn't help but complain: "Working at this stupid big company is too difficult. I've had enough of this life of being treated like a slave. My dad didn't give me a single word of advice until the end of the year when I couldn't take it anymore and quit to go back home. Only then did he say he would arrange a job for me at the company."

"Damn it, when I went back and saw our family's company building, I realized how much money my dad makes, and he still makes me work like a beast of burden! Can you believe it?"

However, in response to Zhai Zhipeng's words, He Junhao simply said quietly, "Okay, let's switch roles. You let me be the rich second-generation."

"That's not necessary."

As Zhai Zhipeng spoke, he couldn't help but lean closer to Xiao He, winking in another direction before raising his hand and whispering, "Speaking of which, what's going on with Lao Dai over there? Is he not planning to continue his doctoral studies?"

Dai Bai was the most highly educated among them, and Zhai Zhipeng thought that Dai Bai would continue his studies. However, when he heard the next news, he found out that Dai Bai did not continue to pursue a doctorate, but instead went to work with Xiao He on AI research and development.

Zhai Zhipeng was quite puzzled, but he couldn't find an opportunity to ask online, so he decided to meet in person this time to find out.

"Part of it is due to his family situation, and part of it is because I need him."

Xiao He said.

In fact, Xiao Hei AI's development to its current state is not only due to his efforts, but also to Dai Bai and his team. Xiao He often comes up with ideas on a whim and creates derivative software, such as map navigation and AI-assisted modeling. However, when it comes to the later stages of organization, operation, maintenance, and upgrades, Dai Bai and his team are mostly responsible for the work behind the scenes.

Most importantly, Dai Bai's arrival was not just with him alone; he also brought many other technicians he knew.

AI has only been developing for a few years; everyone is just starting out from here.

Therefore, in many cases, the young people in the teams he brought actually have a greater advantage in terms of development.

“However, I’m also planning to let him go back to his doctoral studies,” Xiao He said. “A professor I know really admires him and happens to have a spot available. If he’s willing, nothing will be a problem.”

"Wow, I almost forgot you're a Tongtian Daishi now."

He Junhao, who was also hearing the news, immediately gave Xiao He a thumbs up, "Xiao He, what you said really has the air of a behind-the-scenes boss who is strategizing and planning."

Xiao He: "So you call me father, we can each stick to our own way, there's nothing wrong with that."

He Junhao: "That won't work."

Xiao He: "..."

So they called Dai Bai, and the four old friends and classmates who had known each other since college started chatting together.

-

However, the happiness here is short-lived.

There were quite a few other people present, and Xiao He had to go over and say hello.

Xiao He was surprised to see Yuan Sitong sitting with Yan Shaohan and Guo Xinya for the first time ever.

Of course, the surprise here mainly refers to the fact that Sister Gua was sitting with Yan Shaohan.

After all, these two had a significant grudge against each other during the "Sumiya" period.

For Yuan Sitong, a director like Yan Shaohan is simply a hellish demon king.

But she was stubborn and refused to admit that she was actually very vengeful.

"Director Yan, aren't you currently preparing for 'The Corner'?"

Xiao He was somewhat puzzled.

This morning, Yan Shaohan was still in Beijing, according to his WeChat Moments post.

"Haha, that's to keep it a secret! Since it's a surprise, I definitely have to keep it a secret!"

Yan Shaohan chuckled.

Guo Xinya explained to Xiao He, "We all arrived in Rong City this morning. The time was arranged in advance by everyone. It's also more convenient to meet in Rong City, so the production team must have specifically arranged this roadshow here to make it easier for everyone to gather here."

In fact, it would be perfectly fine for people to have a small private gathering, but it would be quite difficult to gather so many people together at once.

Upon hearing Guo Xinya's words, Xiao He immediately understood what was going on.

This should be Sister Liu's responsibility.
