Meanwhile, Tangning had been on set with Director Jones for an entire month. At times, she would return home with burns all over her body. Although Mo Ting's heart ached, he was happy for Tangning when he saw that she was doing well.
Because of Tangning's needs, the post-production of 'The Ant Queen' was secretly moved to the US. After all, Tangning had improved a lot, especially with the guidance and support of the 'Father of Sci-fi'.
While she was studying with Director Jones, a lot of big name companies approached Director Jones to invite him to participate in the production of a sci-fi film in Beijing. But, he rejected every single one of them.
Some agencies even went through a lot of trouble to get their hands on the set of 'The Specimen', just so Director Jones could spare some time for them. But, Jones simply ignored them. Of course, some people also noticed the tall woman beside Jones …
Although she was wearing a hat and sunglasses, her superstar aura made it easy for people to recognize her.
But, no one knew what was going on, so no one expected that Tangning was actually Director Jones's apprentice!
They could only guess that Tangning was doing odd jobs on set because that was her daily job.
Afterwards, these people returned to Beijing and began to spread rumors to the media that they had seen Tangning on set and that she was now working for the Americans as the most humiliated odd-job worker in the industry.
She had become the lowest rung in the industry!
Yet, Hai Rui ignored them. Could it be that Mo Ting had completely given up on Tangning?
"Look at Tangning's tattered clothes. She must have already been dumped by Mo Ting. They simply haven't announced their divorce yet!"
"Did a superstar like her ruin her life just like that?"
"That must be the case. Hai Rui doesn't want to talk about Tangning at all. How is this how they treat their own wife?"
As a result, rumors about Tangning's change in marriage began to spread like wildfire.
Long Jie was extremely worried about the rumors. So, when she returned home that night, she lost her temper at her husband, "Can't you find out anything from President Mo? It's fine that Tangning isn't contacting us, but did something really happen to her? "
"The President told me not to ask anything, so I didn't dare to be a busybody," Lu Che replied. "But, do you believe that the President has a change of heart towards the Madam?"
"It's not a matter of whether I believe it or not. Rumors are everywhere, so I have no choice but to believe it."
"I think that since the president didn't allow me to ask, Madam is fine."
"She's fine my ass. What if Tangning gets bullied and we all think she's fine?" Long Jie scoffed. "How can you be so sure about men?"
"Don't be so suspicious. How about this, I'll go ask around and see if I can get any information." Lu Che comforted his wife and prepared to use his own methods. But, Tangning's relationship with Director Jones was extremely low profile, so no one knew about it.
As a result, Lu Che could only return in low spirits.
"How I wish Madam could come back now …"
Lu Che wasn't the only one who noticed how anxious Long Jie was, even Han Xiuche noticed.
"If President Long is worried about Tangning, you can go to the US to look for her. There is no need to sit here and worry."
"You think I don't want to? But Superstar Media needs someone to support it. " Now that she had heard so many rumors about Tangning, she was extremely anxious. How could she still be in the mood to help a newcomer?
"Don't worry, Superstar Media still has us."
Han Xiuche said with a deeper meaning.
Long Jie waved her hand. Her heart was filled with worry and complicated emotions.
But, this time, Mo Ting had passed on Long Jie's worries, so Tangning decided to help her calm down. So, after a busy day, she gave Long Jie a phone call, "I heard you're so worried about me that you're getting angry …"
"You still remember to give me a phone call? Do you know how bad the rumors in Beijing are? They've even started to talk about you and the President's divorce. "
"Do you believe them?" Tangning raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm doing well. You simply need to believe in me …"
"Are you sure? What do you mean by running errands for an American? "
"It's just a rumor that someone from Beijing came to look for a master to direct a film and accidentally saw it. I am indeed running errands, but I'm not that 'errands'. You just need to know that …"
"Master?"
"I've been accepted by Director Jones as my master. I'm currently learning how to produce sci-fi films," Tangning replied.
"Are you referring to the father of sci-fi, Jones?"
"Uh huh," Tangning nodded.
After hearing this, Long Jie suddenly became excited, "Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't be Tangning if you didn't stir up some trouble. I never expected you to be accepted by a master without a word. Quick, tell me about your adventure in the US."
"I don't have time to talk to you. Either way, you need to trust me, I will be back very soon …"
"But, you can't tell anyone that I'm Director Jones' apprentice, not even Lu Che."
"Maintain a sense of mystery. That way, we'll have a good show to watch in the future."
Long Jie was so excited that she started kicking her legs, "OK, I understand. I promise I won't tell anyone, not even Lu Che or Lin Qian. I'll focus on waiting for your return."
"Since you're reassured, focus on managing Superstar Media's artists!" Tangning instructed. "Even if I'm not around, you can't let anyone take advantage of you."
"Understood."
Since she was able to talk to Tangning, the stone in her heart naturally fell off. Not only was Tangning not as pitiful as the rumors said, she had also become a master's disciple. Just this identity alone was enough to blind people's eyes.
She was simply waiting for Tangning's return!
As a result, Long Jie's attitude towards Superstar Media changed.
This made Han Xiuche a little suspicious.
"Long Jie, are you no longer worried about Tangning? Why have you been so focused on work these past few days? "
Long Jie lifted her head and looked at Han Xiuche. She then replied, "It's because I've thought it through. Whatever Tangning does on the outside is her choice and I have no right to interfere. Since I've taken over Superstar Media, I have a responsibility to continue developing it. So, I've decided to focus on training all of you to become superstars."
"I thought you contacted Tangning and she was coming back. I knew it, with all the bad rumors about her, she wouldn't want to show her face."
"Just ignore the news. Let's not talk about Tangning. How long have you been preparing for your new comic? Is it ready?" Long Jie asked. "I'm looking forward to it."
"In that case, keep looking forward to it. It's going to be spectacular!" Han Xiuche replied.
As for how spectacular it was, Long Jie was waiting to see. It was definitely going to surprise her.
