“Daddy?” Su Jiu also looked at Su Shengjing in surprise.
Su Shengjing snapped back to his senses and apologized to Xue Zhen. Taking the name card, he said, “Thanks. I’ll think about it.”
Xue Zhen was a little taken aback. “What’s there to think about? Our company is one of the top entertainment companies in the country. In addition, I can personally manage you and your daughter. I promise that you’ll become extremely famous!”
Su Shenjing heard something significant, and he frowned. “My daughter?”
“That’s right! Don’t you plan to let your daughter join as well? Since she’s so popular now, we can take this opportunity to get her more advertisements and variety shows. She can even film television dramas and movies. Within a short period, your daughter will definitely become the most popular child star!”
As Xue Zhen enthusiastically spoke, she started to imagine how much money this little girl could earn for the company.
It would definitely be a lot!
Su Shengjing tightened his grip on the name card, and his expression suddenly turned serious. “If you want my daughter to join as well, I won’t agree.”
“What?” Xue Zhen was stunned. She thought that she had heard him wrongly.
Su Shengjing enunciated each word. “I don’t want my daughter to be a child star, nor do I want her to become a money-making tool. I only agreed to let her film “Daddy, Let’s Go” and shoot the advertisement because she said that she wanted to. However, if she were to sign with your company, she would be restrained by your rules and would be flooded with work. I won’t agree to that.”
At her age, Su Jiu should grow up without any concerns and worries. She should not be involved with money and commercial interests. After joining a company, she would not enjoy as much freedom as she did now.
Since she was still young, her company would arrange everything for her. She might become a puppet at the mercy of others, forced to do things against her wishes.
And Su Shengjing did not want to see Su Jiu suffer.
Even if she did not earn any money, he would be content. All he wanted was for her to be free and happy.
An Yuan looked at Su Shengjing with admiration.
However, Xue Zhen’s smile faded, and she said in a similarly serious tone, “Su Shengjing, I understand how you feel as a father. However, not everyone gets a chance to rise to greatness. Many people never get a chance to do so in their entire lives. If you fail to grasp this chance, it’ll definitely be your loss. You might regret it for the rest of your life.”
To be honest, she would rather hire Su Jiu than Su Shengjing.
The little girl had unlimited commercial value!
However, Xue Zhen had not expected Su Shengjing to refuse.
Su Shengjing smirked. “My daughter is more important than me being successful. So, I’m sorry.”
After all, he was someone who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time. He had learned how to read people well, and he could see the greed and ambition in this lady’s eyes. How could he possibly entrust his daughter to her and allow her to do whatever she wanted?
Su Jiu gazed at Su Shengjing. At this moment, she suddenly felt that her father was extremely dependable!
She had only joined the variety show for her father. She did not want it to become her job, nor had she ever dreamed of becoming a child star. Furthermore, she did not have a good impression of this manager. That lady was staring at her as if she were looking at a gold nugget.
Fortunately, her father was not a materialistic person. Some parents could actually exploit their children just for their personal gains.
The unhappy Xue Zhen became speechless.
In all these years she spent as a manager, Su Shengjing was the first person who dared to reject her!
Noticing that the atmosphere had become strange, An Yuan interrupted them. “Xue Zhen, didn’t you say that my schedule was very full? Let’s not waste time here.”
