1056: Little Jiu Brings In the Viewers

Little Jiu Brings In the Viewers

The director personally poured everyone a glass of red wine. When he poured it for Su Jiu, he hesitated and asked, "Little Jiu, can you drink?"2

This girl was the apple of Su Shengjing's eye. He could not get her drunk. Although the entire production team was here and so were many staff members, if anything really happened, Su Shengjing would make the director suffer. Therefore, it was better not to tempt fate.

Su Jiu nodded. "It's all right, but I won't drink too much. Just half a cup will do."

The producer smiled and said, "Director, you just said that you wouldn't leave until you were drunk. Are you being biased by pouring so little wine for Little Jiu?"

The director said righteously, "That's right. So what if I'm biased? Little Jiu is the one bringing in the viewers for our movie. It hasn't even been released yet, but it's already so popular online. Of course, I have to be biased!"

As he spoke, he muttered in his heart. Isn't it because I'm afraid of Best Actor Su? The Su family is the sugar daddy of the production team. Could I afford to offend them?

The producer tutted. "If you're biased, then so be it. How dare you admit it? You're shameless, aren't you?"

Everyone laughed. The atmosphere was lively and infectious. Su Jiu was in a good mood. As she clinked glasses with them, she finished the wine the director had poured for her without realizing it.

The director had drunk a little too much and was growing increasingly excited. Without thinking much, he poured her another half cup. At this moment, Su Jiu suddenly received a call from Su Shengjing.

Unfortunately, the scene was too noisy, so she could only get up and leave the private room. She walked outside to pick it up.

"Hello? Daddy?"

Su Shengjing's deep voice came from the other end. "Baby, are you guys holding a wrap-up party tonight?"

"Yeah. The crew's eating at the hotel now."

"You can eat, but you can't drink, understand? If they persuade you to drink, don't drink. It's illegal for anyone to pressure people to drink now!"

Su Jiu laughed at his nervous tone. "I know, Daddy. I only drank a little. I'll never let myself get drunk. Don't worry."

"If you dare to get drunk, I'll teach you a lesson. How about this? As soon as the wrap-up party is over, get the bodyguards to send you home. I wanted to pick you up personally, but I've been busy with work for the past two days. Therefore, even if many people are around you, you have to be careful. After all, you can't judge a book by its cover…" Su Shengjing's tone was very serious as he spoke non-stop.

Su Jiu suppressed her smile. "Daddy, you're such a worried old father."

"Hmph, of course. I've been worried sick about you, girl. Why? Are you tired of me?!"

"No, no. Why would I find you annoying? Dad, I love hearing you nag. And I love being cared for."

Su Shengjing was speechless.

Nagging? Is this girl praising me or laughing at me?

After chatting with Su Shengjing for a while, Su Jiu returned to the private room. When Xia Yi saw her, he immediately stood up and pulled out a chair for her. Smiling, he asked, "Little Jiu, who were you talking to on the phone for so long? Was it your boyfriend?"

She shook her head. "No. My father. He was worried about me drinking and told me not to drink too much. It wouldn't be good if I got drunk."

At the mention of drinking, Xia Yi's eyes flickered, then he smiled warmly. "Is that so? I was planning to toast you. After all, we were acting partners. It wouldn't make sense not to have a drink."
