Cute Brother Badass Family Protector

Chapter 264: Working Together

Tan Mo could only stare at Director Hou speechlessly as this was the first time they had actually met and spoken.

Since when are we this close? Entertainment business is strange.

It was as if Director Hou was paying attention to what Tan Mo was thinking, and he smiled. “Because I'm your sister's teacher, doesn't it make sense that we're also close? Come on, don't be a stranger. You have to write a script for me in the future, deal?”

Tan Mo blinked and quickly thought of an excuse. “But I only know how to write a script for a historical drama.”.

“One coincidence!” Director Hou exclaimed with a loud clap of his hand. “I'm also very good at directing historical dramas!”

Tan Mo was made speechless once again.

Professor Tang, what kind of teacher did you get for my brother …

The little girl turned to look at her eldest brother for help, but she simply smiled at him and did not help him.

“Hou, you know he is willing to work for me because I agreed to help Jinqi in her first drama, right?” Director Liu said.

Tan Mo looked at Director Liu and thought, Isn't that the deal we made when I agreed to write the script for “Legenda Wei and Jin”?

Director Liu winked at Tan Mo discreetly, and he soon realized that he was trying to help her. Because Director Liu has agreed to work as an assistant director for Tan Jinqi on his older brother's first film, the, he was trying to help get Director Hou to accept the same deal so Tan Jinqi could benefit from it.

Realizing that, Tan Mo quickly nodded in agreement.

It was as if he was desperate to get as much help as he could for his eldest brother.

Director Liu could not help but laugh as he thought, Wait, are we working together to deceive Hou now?

Director Hou then said, “So... Then, how about this? If you agree to help me, I will help your brother with his second drama. With Liu and I helping her, I can say with certainty that her first two dramas will be hits, and that will help boost her popularity as she gains experience. Once that was done, he should have been able to direct his own drama from then on.”

Tan Mo was so happy that his lips twitched as he tried his best to hide his smile.

However, he failed as he spoke because his grin looked like it had ever been. “Then..I'll help with Director Hou's script as well. Nice to work with you!”

“That's new spirit!” Director Hou laughed happily.

Tan Jinqi smiled, knowing that her sister had agreed to help the two Directors just so that they would help her in return.

Then he turned around and saw Xu Miaotong was chewing on one of the cakes that Tan Mo had given him. He quickly said, “You should thank Miaotong. He was the one who ran everywhere to find us and warned us that you were in trouble.”

“Bulkah?” Excited Tan Mo and ran to hug Xu Miaotong.

“H...hey! Slowly – slowly! I still eat here.” Xu Miaotong almost choked on the cake he had just put in his mouth.

“Thank you very much, Sister!” Tan Mo wanted to kiss Xu Miaotong's cheek, but realized she was wearing lipstick and decided to blow the kiss.

“Come on, there's really nothing. You've always been so kind to me. There's no way I can just shut up and let you be bullied, right?” Xu Miaotong said, blushing.

“You're the best!” Tan Mo smiled and opened the bag of snacks that Zhou Jingan had brought for him. “This! I have more snacks here.”

Xu Miaotong thought of taking more for a moment, but quickly rejected the idea. “No no! I have to stop! Or my manager will scold me!”

The actress quickly put the rest of the cake in her hand back into the bag.

That was when his manager, Zhao Anqi, interjected, “Wow! It seems you still have self-control. And here I wait to see how much you will eat before you stop.”

Throughout the incident with Yu Yixian, Xu Miaotong happily chewed on her snacks while watching, as if she was enjoying a good drama.

Xu Miaotong quickly pulled Tan Mo away with him to avoid being scolded by his manager.

As they waited at the entrance, the cold wind grew louder, to the point that Tan Mo could feel the chill even when he was wearing a thick jacket.

“Yes Gods! It froze! Can I retract my words and not do this?” Tan Mo asked as his teeth chattered.

She immediately regretted not listening to Wei Zhiqian's advice, that being beautiful was not as important as she thought.

Xu Miaotong also chatted next to Tan Mo and said, “You can, but this is the only entrance to the venue here. Are you sure you want to walk back outside and withstand the cold wind all the way to the guest entrance?”

Of course, the event is only open to invited guests and not to the public, but even so, it would be strange for guests to enter the venue through the same entrance as the celebrities.

“The time needed may be longer than waiting here,” Xu Miaotong said.

Hearing that, Tan Mo changed his mind.

Only regret could he feel at that moment.

I should have listened to uncle and entered the venue through the guest entrance instead …

“How about you keep wearing that jacket?” Tan Jinqi suggested.

“No!” Tan Mo insisted. “If I have to withstand the cold, I will do it beautifully!”

They wait until the staff comes to tell them it is their turn. Tan Mo took off his jacket and handed it to Zhou Jingan.

As he took it off, he could not help but shudder a little.

“Do not worry. The chill will disappear once we start walking on the red carpet, ” seasoned veteran Xu Miaotong comforts Tan Mo.

Tan Mo nodded. “I have many hot patches in my dress.”

However, there was no one near her shoulders and arms because she was wearing a sleeveless dress.

A single breeze was enough to make him shudder.

“Me too,” whispered Xu Miaotong.

They then held hands and followed the crew and walked to the red carpet.

“See!” the host announced. “We have a whole team of ‘Legenda Wei and Jin’!”

As Xu Miaotong was famous, the reporters continued to photograph him while the guests continued to ask for a handshake with him.

Tan Mo released Xu Miaotong so he could interact with his fans.

Since Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi were people working behind the scenes, no one recognized them. The hosts did not introduce them either because it was a big team, and it would take a long time to introduce everyone.

They have to wait until a short interview after they sign on the wall to be introduced.

However, most of the questions during the interview were addressed to the director and the actor.

No one was directed to Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi.

The two brothers tried not to stand out as they walked the red carpet, but the reporters thought they were actors from “Legenda Wei and Jin” because of their good looks.
