The Real Rich Daughter is a Future Genius Scientist - Chapter 177

177 Li Tuan Makes Things Difficult

It was evening when Guo Miao arrived at the capital, and Ning Zheng had specifically said that she wanted to bring her to a welcome dinner.

The welcome banquet was held at the congealing fragrance restaurant. Chengxiang Restaurant was private and the food was delicious, so it was the first choice for many production teams.

When Guo Miao arrived, more than half of the people at the table had already arrived, including the old actors, Tang Yue and Hang Zhen.

“Hello, everyone, this is the actress who will be playing Miss Noni, Guo Miao.”

!!
Everyone’s eyes turned to Guo Miao.

Guo Miao was wearing a simple black and white t-shirt and jeans. She had a pair of rimless glasses on her nose and her hair was tied into a high ponytail. She looked like a high school student, but the look in her eyes was so mature, like a bottomless pool.

“Hello, everyone, I’m Guo Miao.”

The crowd began to become excited.

“You’re the legendary Guo Miao. What grade are you in this year?”

“Why did you come alone? Didn’t you bring your parents or guardian?”

The ones who asked were a few well-known film critics in the industry. They were all about 40 years old, had big bellies, and stared at Guo Miao with shrewd and picky eyes. Most of these old men in the film industry were very sleazy and liked to comment on actresses and use sleazy eyes to evaluate them.

They had criticized Ning Zheng a few times before, but because Ning Zheng had not been in the industry for long, she did not dare to challenge them.

“I’m in my first year of high school this year. I can act on my own. Of course, I can come to Beijing by myself.” Guo Miao’s eyes coldly swept across the film critics.

“Don’t be so fierce. Little girl, can you drink? Come and have a toast with us?” Teacher Li stood up and poured a glass of white wine into Guo Miao’s glass.

The alcohol content of white wine was very high. With poor alcohol tolerance, one would definitely get drunk if they drank a little.

Guo Miao coldly looked at the greasy film critic and the shaking wine in the glass in front of her.

“What do you think? Don’t you want to have a drink with us? This way, we’ll be more than willing to write a few good reviews for Director Ning Zheng’s work in the future.”

“Mr. Li, Guo Miao is still a minor. It doesn’t seem appropriate for us to do this. If you need someone to drink with you, I’ll have a few drinks with you.” Ning Zheng was a little worried and stood up to help Guo Miao drink.

Li Tuan said, “Director Ning, please sit down. We’ve never seen Miss Guo before, so we want to have a drink with her. You don’t have to mind. When I was Miss Guo’s age, I already finished drinking with my dad.”

Ning Zheng looked at Guo Miao worriedly.

At the side, Hang Zhen stood up. “Teacher Li, why don’t you let me drink in Guo Miao’s place? Guo Miao is still a minor, so she really shouldn’t drink. If the news of you persuading an underaged girl to drink gets out, it won’t be good for your reputation.”

Shen Lan, who was sitting at the side, stopped Hang Zhen, “Hey, you don’t have to drink for Guo Miao. In our line of work, we’ll drink a lot more in the future, so why care about this time?”

Shen Lan was also an actress in Ning Zheng’s crew. After losing the role of Miss Noni, she took on another less favorable role, and now she was full of anger and wanted to find Guo Miao to vent.

Guo Miao looked at the people in front of her who were holding a glass of wine and pushing each other away, feeling annoyed. She used to hate this kind of meaningless drinking.

However, to Ning Zheng, this was inevitable.

Although these film critics were annoying, they had a good reputation on the internet. The movies recommended by them were sellouts at the box office, but many of the movies they criticized were even difficult to be released.

Although they were all middle-aged men, they all played a pivotal role in country C’s film industry.

“I don’t like to see you guys protecting this little girl. Come, little girl, how about having a drink with me?” Li Tuan had already been drinking, and now that he was being stopped by everyone, he became even more intoxicated.

In Li Tuan’s eyes, many young girls like her hoped that their acting careers would be smooth in the future. Some of them had already climbed into the bed of a famous director or film critic before they were even of age.

Guo Miao pushed the wine glass away. “Teacher Li, I’m afraid I can’t drink this wine today.”

“Why? Don’t you know who I am? How dare you reject me? You don’t want to stay in country C’s film industry anymore, do you?”
