Chapter 221: So Embarrassing

Yet, even though he was her eldest brother, Tan Jinqi had no idea how to repay her.

Director Liu was shocked when he heard about this and shook his head, laughing. "So, I'm not the first person she's gotten favors from,,."

The director was utterly surprised by Tan Mo's ability.

Professor Zhao, Professor Guo, and President Mu were some of the most respected men in their fields.

And, yet, all of them had recognized Tan Mo as a special individual, to the point where they were willing to do anything to get her to work with them.

If that wasn't proof of how amazing she was, then the director couldn't think of any other way to convince people of her worth.

"And here I thought I'd seen how amazing she was during the past two days. Who knew she is even more amazing than that?" Director Liu laughed. "If Professor Zhao, Professor Guo, and President Mu all agreed to her requests, then it means my agreeing to her request must be the right thing to do."

"So, what did she ask for?" Tan Jinqi asked, extremely curious as to what kind of favor Tan Mo had requested from the director.

From what he had seen so far, Tan Mo's requests were always within reason. Even though she was capable enough, she would never ask the other party to do things they weren't comfortable with.

"Your little sister literally helped prepare for your future. She knew that directing your first film as a rookie director would be full of a lot of setbacks. That's why she asked me to help you when needed." Director Liu smiled as he explained. If Tan Mo had been present, she would've been shocked to learn that the director understood the real meaning of her request. "But, I don't think the little girl really knows how much she has helped me. If it hadn't been for her, this whole production would've lost a lot of money. There's no way I could take advantage of such a sweet girl, is there? That's why I promised her that when you direct your first film, I'll be your assistant director."

"Whaaat?" Tan Jinqi could not hide his surprise. Never had he ever thought that Director Liu would make such a huge promise, and one that he had proposed himself instead of Tan Mo requesting it.

It showed how smart the director was.

The reason he told Tan Jinqi his promise to Tan Mo was for the young man to remember what he had done for him.

There was no way the director would let his chance to act like a good person go to waste.

"Don't put any pressure on yourself because of that," the director said. "Even though I did say I'm going to be your assistant director, I'll mostly be there just to make sure no one screws you over. I can also help you with the makeup and costumes if you can't find suitable people to do that. The actors will most likely empty their schedules for you if they see me as your assistant director. As long as I'm there, no one will try to mess with you."

Despite the director saying that there was not much he would do, Tan Jinqi knew that it was more than he could ever ask for.

It was basically unheard of for a hotshot director like him to become a rookie director's assistant.

"Thank you!" Tan Jinqi thanked him with a bow.

Seeing that the young man had understood what he had done, Director Liu smiled and encouraged Tan Jinqi to work harder before heading off to finish his own work.

...

Director Liu had arranged for someone to buy a laptop for Tan Mo and had it delivered to the hotel.
