"Don't let me find out what you've been up to at Superstar Media," Lin Qian warned Han Xiuche.
Han Xiuche shrugged his shoulders innocently and did not say another word before he turned and left.
From his point of view, without Tangning, Superstar Media was nothing more than a paper tiger. Destroying it would be a piece of cake.
Since he had misjudged Tangning, he decided to mess around with Superstar Media. It would be a good way to vent his anger.
Most importantly, controlling Superstar Media was good for his own promotion. He didn't want to be the one being tied down. What warning? He didn't even care about his brother, let alone a mere manager.
Should he try to get to know the fake Tangning?
That would be interesting!
Tangning, let's see if you can hide to the ends of the earth.
If you don't show yourself, I'm going to make you show yourself!
…
Tangning had no idea what was happening in Beijing. It wasn't easy for her to meet with the famous American sci-fi director, the legendary father of sci-fi.
After understanding Tangning's intentions, the man in his early 60s felt her thoughts were ridiculous.
"It's not easy to produce a good sci-fi film. Especially since the East is so far away from it."
"That's not a problem …" Tangning replied straightforwardly.
"In that case, what do you think is the biggest problem?" Director Jones asked.
"You're afraid that I'll surpass my master!"
After hearing this, Jones burst into laughter, "You sure have an interesting way of talking. It's not that I'm biased against Eastern culture, but I'm getting old and about to retire. I want to spend more time on my family. So, I'm sorry, Mrs. Mo."
In reality, Tangning could tell that Jones wasn't as narrow-minded and mean as the professors in the UK. From the look in his eyes, he didn't look down on others at all. Anyone that could be considered a great person was usually broad-minded and easy to get along with.
In reality, Tangning had already expected this response. But, it wasn't easy to get the approval of a master like him.
Especially since she was rude to begin with.
In the end, the three of them only had one dinner together. Soon, Director Jones' phone alarm rang and he hurriedly left the dinner.
"Don't be discouraged. If worse comes to worst, we'll just try a few more times. It took a lot of effort for you to convince Qiao Sen to come out of seclusion."
Tangning turned to look at Mo Ting and nodded her head, "I'm not someone who gives up so easily. Let's go, we'll talk about it next time."
After that, they paid the bill and walked out of the hotel.
"Since we're not far from the manor, why don't we walk home?" Mo Ting suggested.
"Fortunately, Aunt Yun is here too. Don't worry about Yan 'er. Let's go." Tangning nodded her head. The couple held hands as they walked through the streets of the US. However, at this time, a middle-aged woman suddenly bumped into them from behind.
Tangning and Mo Ting immediately turned around to find the woman lying on the ground. Tangning immediately knelt down to help her up, but Mo Ting said to her, "Don't touch her for now. Hurry and call the US ambulance."
Tangning nodded. Although it was troublesome, Tangning patiently found someone to ask for help. Soon, the woman was sent to the hospital.
Afterwards, the woman woke up in the ambulance. But, the first thing she did after waking up was question her husband.
The paramedics told the woman that Tangning and Mo Ting had saved her. So, she immediately asked the nurse to grab her phone from her pocket and give her husband a phone call.
After arriving at the hospital, Tangning and Mo Ting decided to head straight home since the woman had someone to take care of her.
"Don't go, I haven't thanked you yet. My husband is a famous director, he can give you a reward."
Hearing the word 'director', a possibility flashed across Tangning's mind. But, she did not stop in her tracks.
"Let's go home."
"Aren't you going to take advantage of such a good opportunity?" Mo Ting asked as they left.
"Like you said, I'm just using you," Tangning disagreed. "I don't like to force people."
"I can't do anything about you," Mo Ting patted Tangning on the head and escorted her away.
...
Soon, Jones received a call and rushed to the hospital. However, he did not see Mo Ting and Tangning.
"Luckily, you're OK."
"The people that saved me were an Asian couple," the woman told Jones. "But, when I told them to stay and wait for your reward, they directly left. What a shame."
After hearing from his wife, Jones had a rough idea of who the Asian couple were, "How could it be them?"
"Do you know them?"
"Yes, I met them tonight. But, since they saved you, I'm sure they know who you are and will come looking for me."
He didn't believe that Tangning would miss out on such a good opportunity.
After all, this was his wife's savior. It was supposed to be a simple matter, but, because they had met before, Jones had a misunderstanding.
"If you see them, you need to thank them properly."
"OK, I will."
Jones nodded his head in agreement.
But, after waiting for a good few days, Tangning and Mo Ting still hadn't shown up. Could it be that they still hadn't decided how big of a request they were going to make?
In reality, to avoid suspicion, Tangning had already decided to look for another director. She knew that if she took the initiative to look for Jones under these circumstances, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"Think about it carefully. Other directors may not be as easy to talk to as Jones."
"What else can I do?" Tangning shrugged helplessly. "No matter how difficult it is, I still need to give it a try."
So, Mo Ting and Tangning tried to contact other famous directors and look for influential figures in the sci-fi industry. However, this matter quickly spread to Jones's ears.
"This young woman sure has a stubborn temper..."
So, Jones gave his assistant a phone call and asked him to contact Tangning.
Tangning never expected that Jones would contact her.
As the two men spoke on the phone, Jones looked at them helplessly, "I feel like I should apologize for misunderstanding the two of you. Plus, I feel like I need to repay you for saving my wife. So, I'm willing to teach you."
"Director Jones, although I'm happy to receive your phone call, saving your wife was just a coincidence. I didn't..."
"I now know that you guys aren't that kind of people. That's why I'm willing to be your teacher. Isn't that what you Chinese call me?"
"Are you saying..."
"I'm saying that you should come and look for me tomorrow. I am about to direct my last sci-fi film, 'The Resurrected Specimen'. So, I can take you with me. Consider it your luck... I think this is fate. But, you need to be prepared. It's going to be tough. I won't treat you well just because you are a woman."
