Chapter 224: A Little Humble

However, the next second, Director Liu's tone of voice changed respectfully. “Professor Gu! Nice talking to you.”

The others quickly turned to look at the director.

Professor Gu? Professor Gu of Beijing University?

That was the only person anyone else could think of, and they quickly turned to look at Tan Mo.

After speaking for a while on the phone, Director Liu quickly gave his guarantee to Professor Gu. “Of course. I will make sure to take good care of Tan Mo. You don't have to worry about it.”

“Liu... I can call you Liu, right?” Professor Gu asked because that was how Professor Tang spoke to the Director.

“Of course. It would be an honor.”

No matter how rich or famous he was as a film director, his standing was still far from those two Beijing University professors who were hailed as heroes of their nation.

These two people were respected by everyone and their names were engraved in the hall of fame.

They are the ones who are invited to the most important event in the country.

Director Liu clearly understood the difference in their social status and that he had to show respect to these two professors.

“I heard from Tang that Tan Mo helped with your script, right?” Professor Gu asked with a gentle laugh.

Just like I thought. He called to inquire about Tan Mo. Director Liu thought to himself.

Ever since the caller identified himself as Professor Gu, the director knew that the only people around him who would get the professor's attention were Tan Mo and Professor Tang. However, since both professors had equal fame and standing, it was unlikely that the caller would call to inquire about his colleague.

The director's heart raced so fast that he could even hear his own heartbeat. He could not believe how high the two professors thought about Tan Mo, a 15-year-old girl.

“Ya.” Director Liu nodded in agreement. “If it wasn't for him, this drama would have been a disaster.”

“How amazing he is. You should thank your lucky star for meeting him.” Professor Gu laughed.

Director Liu stared blankly at his phone. You're not wrong, but can't you be a little more humble.

“Tan Mo is my favorite student. Please take good care of him as long as he is there,” urged Professor Gu.

“Of course.” The director nodded his head. “He is now the key of our whole operation. Not only did he write our script, but he also acted as our historical consultant. You don't have to worry about anything. He will get the best hospitality we have to offer. I will bear all responsibility if Tan Mo ever complains to you about his time here when he returns.”

The reason Professor Gu's call was so that he could make sure the crew would take good care of Tan Mo. Since he was thousands of miles away from her, this was all he could do. He did not want the people there to look down on Tan Mo just because he was a teenager.

After hanging up the phone, Director Liu sighed in relief and said, “Tan Mo, your professor thinks highly of you.”

“Why else do you think I became their student?” Tan Mo smiled. “The way they talk about me proves how amazing I am. You better make sure I'm well looked after here. You're really lucky to have met me.”

Director Liu fell silent once again. Tan Mo actually repeated what Professor Gu had just said, further convincing him that he was the professor's student.

However, the more the director interacted with the little girl, the more he found her attractive.

Most people will act humbly when they are praised, and the conversation will be over soon.

“You're really rude, right?” Director's laughing.

Since there was no sarcasm in the director's words, Tan Jinqi relaxed a little.

Tan Mo tilted his head and looked at the director with a cute expression.

“To be too humble is a form of arrogance,” says Tan Mo. “Because the professors have showered me with praise, and they even go to great lengths to ensure that I have the ability to help you, she said, wouldn't I humiliate them if I acted humble and said they were just exaggerating? Instead, it is better to acknowledge what they say and thank them for their kind words.”

“Finally I understand why the professors like you so much now.” Director Liu shook his head with a smile and turned to Tan Jinqi, who was sitting next to him. “Your sister is really amazing.”

They were sitting in a small van. When they went to the airport, Assistant Director Liu stayed in the same car as Yuan Qishan so he would not try to escape.

Now that Yuan Qishan had left, the assistant had returned with the rest of the gang and was now sitting in the passenger seat.

“He is not only smart at such a young age, but he also has a high EQ.” Director Liu praised him.

When a person receives a compliment, their mind takes time to react. So, most people's first reaction was to give a humble response, unlike Tan Mo.

Only Tan Mo could understand the praise he received and give a precise response a few seconds later.

“You're right.” Tan Jinqi nodded in agreement. “In the end, not many people can get full marks on the high school graduation exam and get into Beijing University at the age of 15 as he did.”

This time, the director was even more silent.

Are all the people from the Tan family like this? There's nothing wrong with being a little humble, you know?

The director even thought of saying how much he wished his own son had half of Tan Mo's prowess. Now, there was no way he could say it. He did not want to help inflame the Tan brothers' egos.

The vehicle took a detour to the hotel to drop Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian off before returning to the studio.

Despite being jealous at how close Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian were, Tan Jinqi was also relieved that Wei Zhiqian was there to take care of him.

The only problem was that whenever Wei Zhiqian was there, there was nowhere for him to shine. Although her ranking as her younger sister's favorite was about the same as Wei Zhiqian, she knew that it would only take a few years to widen the gap.

As for leaving Tan Mo alone with another man, Tan Jinqi was not worried about that because that man was Wei Zhiqian. He was convinced that Wei Zhiqian was neither a pervert nor a pedophile and that his relationship with Tan Mo was purely as an uncle and nephew.

No matter how much the Tan family disliked Wei Zhiqian, they still had faith in his moral standing.

For the rest of the day, Tan Mo locked himself in his room, fully focused on completing the script.

Wei Zhiqian remained close to him, not leaving his side even for a split second.

He even ordered a simple meal through room service for their dinner so Tan Mo wouldn't have to distract him from his work.

As for Tan Jinqi, he also worked in the studio until late at night. He was happy that Wei Zhiqian was also here so he would not have to worry if Tan Mo had eaten or not.

Despite only a simple meal, Wei Zhiqian made sure that the food had all the nutrients Tan Mo needed.

Food is something that the little girl can quickly eat but stay healthy.
