Chapter 74: Will Not Bully Daddy Anymore
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Jiu immediately became excited. See, here’s the opportunity!
Before she had transmigrated, she loved watching parent-child variety shows. The children in the shows were simply too cute. They can easily attract fans.
Moreover, the filming process is not tough. In fact, it’s quite easy. After all, the participants are just young children. How can the production team make things difficult for them?
Therefore, it’s an easy way to earn money.
The perfect opportunity has just fallen into our laps.
Su Jiu was naturally happy to agree. Gazing at Su Shengjing, she asked, “Daddy, are we going to participate in the show?”
To her surprise, Su Shengjing’s expression was solemn as if he was quite unwilling.
Joining a parent-child variety show meant that Little Jiu would be exposed to the audience. Every move she made would be scrutinized. Moreover, with a father mired in all sorts of scandals, the majority of the audience would be prejudiced against her.
Su Shengjing pursed his lips as he recalled the nasty comments that attacked Su Jiu on Weibo.
Yang Fangping waited for his reply. “Su Shengjing, I really think this show suits you. Besides, your daughter is so cute. It’s a pity that she doesn’t appear on television. The remuneration you will get will also be good. Definitely a hundred times better than that if you worked outside! If we get a good viewership rating for the first episode, we can even increase the remuneration for the next episode!”
Yang Fangping felt that his offer was already tempting to the current Su Shengjing. And indeed, he was right.
Su Shengjing desperately wanted his child to live a good life instead of being stuck in that shabby 20-square-meter house with him. However, at the same time, he was afraid that the audience would hurt her with their comments and he would not be able to protect her well.
“I understand. Can I consider it for a while?”
Yang Fangping nodded, “Sure, but you have to give me an answer as soon as possible. The other four pairs of guests have basically been confirmed. If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll start filming the first episode next month.”
Su Shengjing did not want a person who offered him an opportunity to wait for too long. Hence, he replied, “Okay, I’ll give you an answer tonight.”
After exchanging their contact details, Yang Fangping actually felt a little reluctant to see Su Shengjing leave with Su Jiu.
It’s my first time seeing such an obedient and cute little child. I can’t wait to show her to the audience. If she doesn’t participate in this variety show, it’d be such a waste.
So if Su Shengjing does not agree, I must fight for it!
***
On the way home, Su Shengjing looked troubled and conflicted.
Since he had thought that he was going to act in a show, he had resigned from his job at the construction site. In the end, he ended up with nothing. There was no filming. Furthermore, he was unwilling to stay at the television station to run errands and get looked down on by others.
Now, without a source of income, his situation did not look optimistic. Although he could borrow money from Sheng Tianci, it was not a long-term solution.
Su Jiu knew what was on his mind. When they reached home, she looked up at him. “Daddy, can we earn a lot of money from the show that Uncle mentioned?”
Returning to his senses, Su Shengjing patted her head. “Yes.”
He could clearly see that the little girl’s eyes had lit up. She again asked, “Then, can we participate in the show? If we earn a lot of money, you won’t have to work so hard as a construction worker. No one would bully you anymore!”
“…” Su Shengjing’s heart suddenly ached.
Is Little Jiu only thinking about me?
She never thought about herself. Even though she had witnessed the luxurious lifestyle of the Sheng family while staying in such a shabby house herself, she had never uttered a single complaint.
She was as warm and radiant as a little sun, not like the other children who often kicked up a fuss and made people upset.
