He Baoshan looked at Jiujiu with a gentle expression and the corners of his mouth curled up. His gentle expression made him look like a magnanimous elder.
He Baoshan looked at Jiujiu and said softly, "I've seen your movie. It's not bad."
He Baoshan said that he had seen Jiujiu's movie. The way the actresses looked at Jiujiu instantly changed. Although they didn't really like Jiujiu, they still praised her.
"Jiujiu's acting is so good at such a young age. She'll definitely be amazing in the future." An actress sitting next to He Baoshan spoke first.
Hearing her praise for Jiujiu, He Baoshan revealed a gentle smile on his face, looking as if he was proud of her. This made those who were still waiting to see what was going on between He Baoshan and Jiujiu completely start praising them.
Even if they didn't like Jiujiu, it didn't matter. As long as they praised Jiujiu for being able to make He Baoshan happy and get the benefits they wanted, they would praise her again and again.
Those actresses had been in the industry for a long time and their ability to talk to people and talk to ghosts was full marks. When they praised someone, they were full of different ways and didn't repeat the same thing. Jiujiu was sick of listening to them.
They praised her all the way to the restaurant.
He Baoshan had booked the restaurant and it was the most famous restaurant in the area. If you didn't have connections, you wouldn't be able to get in. Last time, Jiujiu had heard from a small actress that she wanted to make a reservation to eat here. She had been in line for a whole month, so it was clear how popular this restaurant was.
He Baoshan had casually brought them here to eat, so it was clear that He Baoshan had connections.
When they arrived at the private room, everyone sat down.
Although it was the director who invited everyone to eat, everyone pushed He Baoshan to sit at the head of the table. He Baoshan also specifically asked Jiujiu to sit next to him. Even the director sat next to Jiujiu. He Baoshan handed the menu to Jiujiu and said with a smile, "Jiujiu, quickly take a look and see if there's anything you like."
He Baoshan's concern once again attracted the jealous gazes of many small celebrities. They looked like they wanted to pull Jiujiu away and replace her.
Under everyone's gazes, Jiujiu couldn't put on an expression and casually ordered a few signature dishes before handing the menu to He Baoshan.
When he saw Jiujiu order a few dishes, He Baoshan furrowed his brows and said in a reproachful tone, "Why did you only order a few dishes? Your appetite is so small. No wonder you're so skinny."
He Baoshan picked up his pen and ticked off a few more dishes. Then he handed the menu to the director and said to Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, you're still growing. Don't skip meals just to lose weight. You have to eat more in the future, okay?"
Jiujiu nodded and lowered her eyes shyly.
Looking at Jiujiu's lowered eyes and her pink lips that were bitten by her rice-sized teeth, He Baoshan's heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat's paw.
After the director ordered a few dishes, he handed the menus to the actresses.
After the actresses each ordered a dish, they handed the menus to the waiter.
When the waiter took the menus away, He Baoshan turned his head and said something to Jiujiu.
However, He Baoshan said ten sentences and Jiujiu only responded once. Moreover, no matter what He Baoshan said, Jiujiu always acted shy. It didn't seem like she was trying to avoid him. Instead, it gave people the feeling that she was afraid of strangers.
Although He Baoshan was a little angry, he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart when he thought about how this was the first time he had met Jiujiu.
After the dishes were served, He Baoshan couldn't help but put food in Jiujiu's bowl. His attitude was particularly attentive. However, he kept using the excuse that he was an elder who cared about the younger generation. If Jiujiu rejected his kindness, not only would others not be able to find fault with He Baoshan, but they would also think that Jiujiu was making a mountain out of a molehill. Her thoughts were not pure.
After the meal, the director found an excuse to take away the group of actresses who wanted to hit on He Baoshan, leaving Jiujiu alone with He Baoshan in the private room.
Speaking of which, the director also felt that it was very strange. Yesterday, He Baoshan suddenly increased his investment and was willing to be the martial arts director himself. He didn't want a single cent and only wanted the director to help him with one thing.
At that time, the director was carried away by the good news that He Baoshan increased his investment and was willing to be the martial arts director. He Baoshan almost immediately agreed without thinking. When he came back to his senses, he found that the thing He Baoshan asked him to agree to was not as good as he had imagined.
He Baoshan asked him to create an environment for him and Jiujiu to be alone. Although he said that he cared about the younger generation and wanted to build a good relationship with Jiujiu, he wanted to poach Jiujiu into his studio after the contract between Jiujiu and Director Han ended. However, the director's eyes naturally saw through too many things. However, in this world, there were no eternal friends, but there were eternal interests.
He Baoshan could bring him benefits, so he was naturally willing to play dumb. That was why he took advantage of He Baoshan to be alone with Jiujiu.
Sensing that most of the people around them had left, He Baoshan lowered his head to look at Jiujiu, who was drinking fruit juice. His gaze changed from loving to repressed.
Because of Jiujiu, he was exposed and Jiujiu was captured. He had sacrificed so much, but he didn't get to eat her. Even though Jiujiu was old now and might no longer fit his taste for children, if he didn't eat her, how could he live up to the price he had paid?
He Baoshan raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of Jiujiu's hand. "Jiujiu, your contract with Director Han is about to end. Do you have any plans for your future career?"
The moment He Baoshan placed his hand on the back of Jiujiu's hand, Jiujiu quickly pulled her hand away from He Baoshan's hand. "Uncle He, what are you doing?"
He Baoshan's expression was slightly awkward, but he quickly calmed down and smiled. "Sorry."
After He Baoshan apologized sincerely, he continued to look at Jiujiu and asked, "What plans do you have for your future career? Would you like to work at uncle's studio?"
He Baoshan paused for a moment, then looked at Jiujiu with a kind gaze that was practically his entire life's worth of acting. He softly said, "I have high hopes for you. Your acting is impeccable, and you're willing to work hard to learn. As long as you're willing, I can definitely make you into a domestic A-list superstar. What do you think?"
He Baoshan first drew a big pie and used a domestic A-list superstar as bait to attract Jiujiu.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and looked like she was in a dilemma. After a moment, she bit her lip and said softly, "Thank you uncle, but I'm still in school. Let's talk about this after I go to university."
"Haha ~" He Baoshan didn't think that after he drew such a big pie for Jiujiu, she would still refuse. After being stunned for a moment, he continued. "It's good that Jiujiu likes to study. If you want to study, that's fine too, but we can sign the contract first. What do you think?"
