Chapter 71: Filming the Show
“I’m not working as a construction worker anymore. I’m going to act in a show!” As Su Shengjing said those words, his eyes lit up.
He wanted to leverage this opportunity to do a good job and hoped that he could change his image. If the job allowed him to make a comeback and earn some money, supporting Su Jiu would become easy for him.
All Su Shengjing could think of was to raise his daughter well. Nothing else was within his consideration.
“Act in a show?” Su Jiu’s eyes lit up as well. “Daddy, I also want to go!”
Looks like I did not waste my efforts trying to please Sheng Zhiyan. Daddy can finally act in a show now. This is his first step in returning to the entertainment industry.
A very good start!
To Su Shengjing’s surprise, his daughter seemed to be looking forward to the job more than he was. He thought that she was just being inquisitive and playful like a child, so he decided to bring her to the television station.
He had read some parenting articles on the Internet. They said that a young child like Su Jiu would naturally be curious. It was best for parents to not discourage the child. If possible, they should bring the child to explore more new things.
It would be good for the child’s intellectual development.
Su Shengjing tidied himself up and changed into a clean shirt and a pair of trousers. Su Jiu also changed into her most beautiful dress and carried her rabbit bag. Hand in hand, both of them left the house.
They arrived at the television station very early. The staff was still busily working inside.
This was the first time that Su Jiu had visited a television station. Finding it to be a novel experience, she started gazing around.
When many people saw her and Su Shengjing, they started discussing in low voices. However, the way they looked at her was different from how they looked at Su Shengjing.
The first thought that came to everyone’s mind when they saw Su Jiu was: What kind of cutie is she? How adorable!
On the other hand, when they noticed Su Shengjing, a look of disdain crossed their faces.
They even felt a little heartbroken that such a cute little girl had such a father. How unlucky is that?
According to the usual procedures of filming shows, the guests would have to do their makeup and styling for the show after arriving at the venue. However, no one bothered with Su Shengjing even after a long time passed.
In contrast, the few young celebrities who arrived after him were warmly received by the director and the staff.
The moment these people arrived, the staff led them to the dressing room.
Su Jiu found it to be a little strange. Tugging at Su Shengjing’s shirt, she asked, “Daddy, didn’t they ask you to come over to act in a show? Why are they ignoring you?”
Su Shengjing’s expression also worsened. Although I’m very unpopular now, do they have to be so disrespectful?
Since they invited me here to act in a show, someone should at least tell me what I should do, right?
“I don’t know either. Let’s wait a little longer.” Carrying Su Jiu, Su Shengjing walked to the break room to wait.
After a while, someone finally spotted him and hurried toward him.
Just as Su Shengjing was about to greet him, the person impatiently spoke first, “You’re Su Shengjing, right? Why did you bring your child here?!”
“There are no other adults at home. I’m worried about her being alone at home, so I brought her along.”
“Ugh…” The man looked annoyed. “Forget it. Settle her down and come with me. The shooting is about to start!”
Su Shengjing quickly asked, “What’s the content of the show?”
Shouldn’t they have told me beforehand so that I could’ve prepared? Could it be a scriptless reality show?
That man thought that he had heard wrongly. He found it ridiculous. “No way! Did you think you’re going to appear on the show? Dream on! Do you think you’re still that handsome, popular celebrity from before?”
Su Shengjing’s expression changed as he found himself rendered speechless.
“What do you mean?”
