Suddenly, it was July, and the situation regarding Antarctica was escalating. There were frequent reports of various frictions in Antarctica, along with either real or rumored new discoveries. The news that China had developed new energy sources, which would spark an energy revolution, also attracted global attention.
The plans for the space station and the Mars exploration project caused a stir both domestically and internationally. Most people believed that China would seize this opportunity to rise and lead in the upcoming Interstellar Era.
Additionally, Crude Oil Futures plummeted, and the oil market was greatly affected by the impending emergence of new energy sources. Many countries reliant on oil exports were lamenting their situation, and the world economy faced significant impacts, including in the United States. Furthermore, there were some minor news items indicating that China would support its own automotive brands to develop electric vehicles powered by onboard energy sources and provide relevant technical support. There would also be some reforms in electricity, with plans for existing Nuclear Power Plant constructions being cut back or canceled.
As a result, sensational news followed one after another, causing the news about Bai Yujing to quiet down. Not long ago, his news was everywhere, making him afraid to go out. When he did venture outside, he wore a mask and a hat, fully armed as if he needed two bodyguards!
Recently, the buzz surrounding him gradually faded as people's attention shifted to changes in global affairs. The current situation was very delicate; everyone understood that a significant change affecting the world was imminent. The revolution in energy would impact not only the economic and financial sectors but also raised eyebrows regarding the increasingly fervent calls for the Interstellar Era, suggesting that it might genuinely be approaching.
Bai Yujing was dressed in pants and a tank top, looking quite unkempt. Wang Yi, Haiyang, Tangyuan, and others were at Bai Yujing's home, along with some company managers. Xu Ying had also brought along a good friend, while Li Hao made a special trip to the venue in the afternoon because today was Bai Yujing's birthday. Originally, they planned to find a place outside for the birthday party; however, Haiyang and others thought it would be better to hold it at Bai Yujing's house since there was more space and freedom.
The house was decorated splendidly with lights; ribbons and balloons were everywhere. They hired two chefs—one for Chinese cuisine and one for Western cuisine—spending a considerable amount to hire the most professional ones.
The lighting was adjusted to a dimmer tone to create an atmosphere: "Happy Birthday!"
Suddenly, the lights brightened, and all the champagne erupted at once as everyone shouted together and clapped continuously. Seeing such a lively scene made Bai Yujing feel extremely happy and excited; this was indeed the most festive birthday he had ever celebrated.
"Happy birthday to you!"
"Happy birthday to you!"
As everyone sang, Wang Yi pushed in a cake cart from behind and slowly walked up to Bai Yujing: "Bai Yujing, happy birthday! Wishing you eternal youth and handsomeness!"
Bai Yujing laughed heartily: "Is there even a need for blessings? This is obviously a fact!"
"Hey!"
Everyone expressed disdain for Bai Yujing's shamelessness. Xu Ying said to Bai Yujing, "Boss, it's time to blow out the candles. So, what wish do you want to make?"
"How can I say? If I reveal it, all my little secrets will be known by you!" Bai Yujing immediately replied.
The crowd burst into laughter: "Come on, tell us!"
"No way, if I say it, it won't come true. Wait a minute, Wang Yi, you're not being fair! You put so many candles here; it's obvious you want me to struggle to blow them all out at once!"
"Who told you to be so old? Twenty-five years old, twenty-five candles. Suddenly realizing you're no longer a young stud, huh? Can't accept that you're already an old piece of dried meat?"
"Jealousy! You're all just jealous!"
Bai Yujing joined his hands together, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and instantly blew out all the candles. After personally cutting the cake and chatting with everyone for a while, he accepted their blessings and then stepped aside.
Li Hao sat next to Bai Yujing: "Not bad, the girls in your company are quite pretty. Honestly, have you ever made any moves?"
Bai Yujing immediately replied, "Do you think I'm a beast like you? I have my moral standards!"
"Come on, since you've said that, I guess I have to show you what a beast looks like today!"
Li Hao immediately stood up and walked to the front of the table: "Alright everyone, come over here. I'm going to perform a little show for you!"
"What kind of show?" Most people present were aware of Li Hao's identity as the second-generation heir of Billion Group. He was handsome and had a good personality. When he entered, many girls in the room had already taken notice of him. Of course, there were also several girls circling around Bai Yujing.
Li Hao quickly used his hands to stack all the cups on the table into a shape resembling a tower, and soon two boxes of goblets were stacked one by one.
"Wow!"
"Impressive!"
Everyone present was astonished, and Bai Yujing did not expect Li Hao to have such a skill. Li Hao, feeling proud, opened the red wine he brought and poured it down from the top of the cup tower. Instantly, the wine spread out like a waterfall, flowing downwards, filling every cup one by one.
Li Hao immediately declared, "Everyone today, let's drink until we drop!"
Bai Yujing smiled and gave Li Hao a thumbs up. Li Hao became even more pleased with himself. Xu Ying stood behind Bai Yujing, gazing at her figure in a daze. Her best friend beside her was also very excited, her face flushed: "Xiao Ying, he's really handsome! Even more so than what I saw on TV."
"Little Orange, stop daydreaming! He already has a girlfriend!" Xu Ying said as she knocked lightly on her friend's forehead.
The girl named Little Orange quickly shifted her focus: "That Li Hao is pretty great too. I heard his family is super wealthy. Just look at the car he drove here today! If you could get close to either of them, you'd never have to worry about anything in life, not to mention he's so good-looking!"
"Stop embarrassing yourself! If you keep this up, I won't bring you next time!" Xu Ying almost covered her face in disbelief.
Little Orange was dissatisfied: "You're no different! Just look at how you're staring at your big boss. Don't think I can't see through it. So what if he has a girlfriend? As long as you wield your shovel well, there's no wall you can't dig through."
Bai Yujing turned on the lights in the backyard and began replacing the water in the swimming pool when suddenly her phone rang. She glanced at it and immediately stood up to dial out.
"Emma, you're in China? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Bai Yujing asked in surprise.
"What? You're already at the door? No way! I'll come out to pick you up right now!"
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yujing immediately said, "Sorry everyone, I need to go pick someone up. Please enjoy yourselves and don't hold back. If you want anything, just let me know; I've prepared everything for you all. Let's make sure we have a great time today!"
Bai Yujing immediately said to Wang Yi, "My girlfriend Emma has arrived, I need to go pick her up, can you entertain the guests for me?"
"Really? Is she coming to visit or to catch you cheating?" Wang Yi said with a mischievous grin. Bai Yujing quickly pushed him, "I haven't done anything, can't you say something nice?"
Bai Yujing walked to the entrance of the community and saw Emma waiting at the door with a suitcase. He rushed out to greet her, "If you had told me earlier, I would have gone to the airport to pick you up!"
Emma smiled, "I've been here once before, so I'm quite familiar with this place. But I'm really disappointed that you couldn't make it to my graduation ceremony!"
"Oh, I'm really sorry, Emma. You know, it's not very convenient for me to go to the UK recently. My situation is a bit sensitive right now, and it might take a long time before I can!" Bai Yujing quickly apologized.
Emma covered her mouth and chuckled, "Alright, I know. I was just joking with you. Today is your birthday, Ian, happy birthday!"
When they arrived at Bai Yujing's house, they saw that the lights were bright and there were quite a few people inside. Emma looked at Bai Yujing teasingly and said, "Are you guys having a party? It seems like I came at the wrong time!"
"No, no, no! It's just a normal party; I've invited friends and colleagues. Wang Yi and Li Hao are also here!" Bai Yujing hurriedly explained.
Bai Yujing led Emma into the living room and introduced her to everyone: "Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce my girlfriend Emma, who just arrived from the UK today!"
Emma immediately greeted everyone in Chinese: "Hello everyone, I'm Emma. I'm very happy that you all could come to Bai Yujing's birthday party!"
"Oh! The proper hostess has arrived!" Little Orange said with a smirk as she glanced at Xu Ying beside her, who smiled somewhat awkwardly.
