After hearing this, Han Xiuche was filled with curiosity, "Rumor has it that you can read minds. Could it be that you're actually capable of it?"
"Regardless of whether I can read minds or not, I'm not someone you can get close to. I think it's best if we keep our distance," Tangning replied. "I can't be friendly towards people that I don't like. So, I hope Mr. Han can keep his distance."
"You're so difficult to get along with."
This time, Tangning did not respond as she turned to leave.
Originally, she thought that even though she was ostracized by the foreigners, as long as she didn't interact with them, it wouldn't be a problem. But, Han Xiuche made Tangning feel uncomfortable.
"Share your movie ideas with me. Who knows, I might be able to help you. After all, my sci-fi comics are quite popular, aren't they? Plus, how are you going to complete your film on your own? "
"How annoying."
Han Xiuche never expected to be rebuffed by Tangning.
Indeed, Tangning wasn't easy to get along with. Only someone that she was familiar with would make her willingly open her heart.
Thinking of this, Han Xiuche realized that Tangning was too difficult. But, it was exactly what he wanted.
But, as soon as this man approached him, Mo Ting sensed danger. Of course, he never doubted Tangning's ability to deal with the opposite sex. After all, his wife never made him feel uncomfortable. But, there were some things that he needed to be careful of.
"These foreigners' discrimination towards Asian actors really comes from the bottom of their hearts."
After studying for a week, Tangning couldn't help but sigh in front of Mo Ting, "I've heard that people don't respect us, but I've never felt it so clearly before."
"Have you been wronged?"
"Not really. I simply don't like being treated as an outsider," Tangning replied. "I can understand competing in society because it's for profit. But, in school …"
"It can't be helped. We're too far behind."
Tangning nodded her head in understanding. As the CEO of Hai Rui, he was bound to see this kind of treatment more often than not.
Eastern actors were rarely respected in the West. Although, with the rise of the East, the situation had improved, Eastern actors were still not welcomed in Europe and the US.
In reality, the first few days were just a preview of how she would be disrespected. Because, as the professor continued to talk about cases, Tangning felt completely humiliated.
"Speaking of movies, let me give you an example. A certain country releases around 150 movies every year for 10 consecutive years. But, not a single one of them has made it to the international market. What does this mean? Their movie standards are still at the beginner level. "
"The director looks like he hasn't graduated from primary school yet, or maybe he's still asleep."
"Relying on the support of the population, they can casually shoot a movie and get a good box office. So, they won't take the so-called good movies seriously."
"So, strictly speaking, they are just businessmen, not directors."
"Because in their eyes, it's written that I want money, not a message …"
"But this is art! No one can insult art! Therefore, I can foresee that in the next ten years, a certain country will not be able to come up with a film that can compete with us. "
The meaning and discrimination of these words were too obvious. It was so obvious that Tangning couldn't ignore it.
So, she lifted her head and rebutted the professor in fluent English, "I only agree with part of what you said. Your arrogance is not worthy of other people's respect."
"As you say, the East still has a lot of room for improvement. But, in the next 10 years, our awakening will make you Westerners tremble in fear."
"Since you don't accept my point of view, why did you appear in my class?" the professor asked.
In other words, didn't the East still need to learn from the West to understand what a real movie was?
If you're so capable, make it yourself!
"Because I admit that we are still weak, but we can learn and create."
"Hmmph, how dare you talk to me about creating? Do you even know what copyright means? "
"No, but we are currently learning. No one knows what the world will look like in 10 years. We have a saying in the East: 'the latecomer catches up to the leader'. I'm sure you understand what this means, right?"
The professor was speechless; he had no idea how to refute Tangning.
All he could do was glare at her angrily, "From now on, you don't need to attend my classes. Or, you can listen outside."
Tangning closed her textbook and smiled, "It seems, the professor is really afraid of the rise of the East …"
"Get out!"
Tangning did not say another word as she walked out of the classroom with her head held high.
At this time, Han Xiuche finally realized how sharp Tangning's thorn was.
How could a woman love her country so much? In a place like this where she could be beaten up at any time, she still chose to offend the professor. Wasn't she here to further her studies? How did she offend the professor in just one week?
Han Xiuche decided to have a chat with Tangning after class. But, just as he followed her to the school gates, she boarded Mo Ting's car.
The couple quickly disappeared from Han Xiuche's sight.
Yes, she was married …
And had three children.
At this moment, Han Xiuche suddenly felt a little disappointed …
In the car, Tangning was very quiet. But, Mo Ting noticed something was wrong with his wife, "Did you get into trouble?"
"Not really," Tangning replied. "I simply choked an old professor in class."
"You're almost 30-years-old, yet you still can't control your emotions. But … you did a good job. If anyone makes you unhappy, I'll make them unhappy," Mo Ting laughed. "So, what happened in the end?"
"He told me not to appear in his class."
"Was it that serious?" Mo Ting asked. But, there wasn't a hint of worry in his voice. "Since you can't attend, then don't. You can always learn on your own."
"You really understand me," Tangning replied as she leaned against Mo Ting's shoulder. "These people are used to being arrogant. They don't know what respect is and they won't teach you anything important. There are a lot of things that you can only learn on your own."
"Plus, I'm more than willing to join a Western film crew. That's where I can learn."
"No, before that, the more he dislikes you, the more you need to appear in his class. I want him to know what it means to kneel in front of money … Since he thinks so highly of himself, I want to hear him apologize to you!"
"Will he?" Tangning asked curiously.
