After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 140 Female Internet Celebrity's Unbearable Thirst

The director called a meeting with everyone to find out exactly what had happened.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense and heavy. Everyone held their breath, afraid that they would become the target of blame.

The director looked around and asked, "What exactly happened? Can anyone tell me what happened?"

The assistant director and the others appeared somewhat uneasy under the director's gaze, exchanging glances but none daring to speak first.

At this moment, Zhao Ning mustered up her courage and stepped forward.

"Director, actually, this is what happened..." Zhao Ning recounted the events in detail, pointing out how the assistant director and others treated me unfairly.

Upon hearing this, the assistant director's face turned pale.

He quickly interrupted the male model, trying to explain, "Director, that's not how it is. I didn't intentionally target Gu Mo; there were just some things I needed her to do. Besides, I didn't bully her; she might have misunderstood me."

As I listened to the assistant director's explanation, a surge of anger welled up inside me.

I stood up, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "Assistant Director, that's not right of you. You clearly knew those things weren't part of my job description, yet you deliberately assigned them to me. Isn't that bullying?"

The director frowned as he watched us argue.

He tapped the table, signaling us to quiet down: "Alright, stop arguing. Assistant director, don't forget your responsibilities. The most important thing now is to focus on filming and finish the task as soon as possible."

The director paused, then continued, "We are a team, and the most important thing for a team is unity and cooperation. I don't want to see this happen again. Everyone needs to remember that we are here to work, not to cause internal strife."

The assistant director glared at me fiercely, but with the director present, he toned down his arrogance.

With the director overseeing the filming, the production proceeded smoothly, and the others toned down their previous arrogance and dared not cause any more trouble.

Soon, the filming was successfully completed, and the director nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the results on camera.

The director turned to everyone, a satisfied smile on his face: "Everyone did a great job today, and the filming went very smoothly. To celebrate this success, I suggest we all go to a wrap party tonight and relax together, what do you say?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, their faces beaming with joy.

However, I hesitated. Thinking back to what had happened before, I still felt some lingering resentment.

I gently shook my head and declined, saying, "Director, I won't go. I'm a little tired today and want to go home and rest early."

The director looked at me, seemingly a little surprised, but quickly nodded in understanding: "Alright, since you're tired, go back and rest early. You have filming tomorrow, so it's important to be well-rested."

I ignored the expressions of the others and left alone.

……

In the evening, I went downstairs to buy some fruit, hoping to relax. At the fruit stand, I chatted with Mr. Liu for a few minutes.

On the way back, suddenly, a figure stumbled and bumped into me. I looked closely and saw that it was Zhao Ning.

He was so drunk that he could barely stand, and his eyes were glazed over; he had clearly drunk quite a bit.

I quickly went over to support him, afraid he would fall: "Oh dear, what happened to you? How did you get so drunk?"

"Gu Mo?" He swayed, gripping my wrist tightly; it hurt a little.

Zhao Ning looked at me with a slightly unfocused gaze, but still managed a forced smile: "It's nothing, it's just that the filming went so smoothly today that everyone was very happy and we had a few too many drinks."

I shook my head helplessly, helped him sit down by the roadside, and then ran to a nearby convenience store to buy him a bottle of water.

Once he was a little more awake, I asked him where he lived so I could help him get a taxi home.

However, he couldn't give his address at all, and mumbled some incomprehensible words.

"Right..."

Seeing his condition, I sighed and decided to take him to the nearest hotel to settle down.

"Honestly, how could he drink like this?" I muttered to myself.

When I was registering at the front desk, I realized that I had forgotten to bring my ID card in my haste to leave home.

Left with no other option, I searched Zhao Ning's pockets, hoping to find his ID card to help him book a hotel room.

I searched his clothes and pants thoroughly.

Fortunately, I found his ID card and was able to book a room for him without any problems.

After taking him back to his room, I helped him settle in and made sure he was alright before leaving.

Seeing him lying peacefully asleep in bed, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I hope he can drink less alcohol in the future and take better care of himself.

The next day, I went to school and as soon as I entered the classroom, I noticed that my classmates were looking at me strangely.

They either whispered among themselves or cast strange glances at me, which made me feel somewhat confused.

"It's her..."

"I heard she was last night..."

Although Song Yuan didn't directly cause me any trouble, she would occasionally whisper to her deskmate and then look at me with a wicked smile, which made me even more uneasy.

I didn't understand why, but I didn't want to let these trivial matters affect my mood, so I chose to ignore their gazes and comments.

My phone kept vibrating during class, but I ignored it because I was focused on doing the problems.

When the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, I eagerly took out my phone to check and found that Lao Mo had called several times.

I quickly called back, and as soon as the call connected, Lao Mo's anxious voice came through: "Grandma, how come you're trending again!"

When I heard that, my heart skipped a beat. I wondered what had gotten into me this time that had dragged me into this media storm.

I took a deep breath and tried to remain calm as I asked, "What exactly happened? Why am I trending again?"

"Look at the trending topics."

I saw the trending topic: "Female Internet Celebrity's Insatiable Thirst"

The photo was attached, which immediately gave me a headache.

Last night, a passerby took a picture of me taking Zhao Ning to the hotel and uploaded it to social media.

Because Zhao Ning is a public figure, this photo quickly attracted attention and sparked heated discussions among netizens.

As the woman in the photo, I was naturally drawn into this public opinion storm.

I couldn't help but laugh and cry. I never expected that my good intention of taking Zhao Ning to the hotel would actually make me a trending topic.

However, this kind of thing has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that I become famous, and during the live stream, I can gain a surge in both haters and fans.

The bad news is... I'm most likely going to get criticized.

I soon received a call from Jiang Yichen, and I hesitated for a second before answering.
