123. Honor

At that time, when everyone had turned silent after listening to Li Zhilan's words, direcptor Yang returned but he wasn't alone like when he had left. Instead, there was someone following behind him in a black trench coat. From the figure of the person in the dark, the person looked to be around 185 cm. The way the two were coming made everyone feel like they already had a good relation with eachother. Not just good but an incredible relation because not just anyone could walk side by side with the greatest director that too with his arm around director Yang's shoulder.

Under everyone's stunned and questioning gazes, director Yang arrived and the light from the camp fire illuminated the face of the person unknown.

''Ah...'' The staffs who had already worked with director Yang before let out a sound which expressed recognition while the rest including the actors were even more confused after the 'recognizing' sound they let out.

Li Zhilan eyed Sylvia asking her who this new person was while the later replied with scrunching her eyes saying that even she didn't know. Next, the two of them stared at Jacob at the same time asking him if he knew, ofcourse they didn't ask him out loud rather used their eyes to ask. But the reply was the same. Even the best actor, Mr. Jacob Wright didn't know.

Li Zhilan, who was sitting between them quietly said in a voice that only the two closest to her could hear.

''What's the use of being the best actor and actress if you can't even answer such a simple question.''

''Then why don't you say who he is afterall you are the great Oleander who made the great director Yang run after you.'' Sylvia retorted in the same low voice.

''If I knew who he was, would I have asked you two idiots for an answer.''

...

''Everyone, let me introduce my best idiot friend, Tang Yemin. He is a great director as well but this damned idiot is so stuck on staying in his country that he rejected every other invitations and is only working in Country C. Now he is one of the best if not the best director in Country C.'' Director Yang said with pride swirling in his voice and eyes.

''Yemin, this is my crew for The Abyss. These are my the male lead Jacob, the other female lead Sylvia and the main female lead, Serenity. The three of them are playing the lead roles in the movie.''

''Hello Director Tang.''

''Pleasure to meet you director Tang.''

The three of them shook their hands with director Tang, but when Li Zhilan shook her hand with director Tang, director Yang started shooting his mouth off.

''Oh yeah, Serenity is also from Country C, I think you guys will have a lot of common things to talk about. You an also call her little lier by by way.''

''Little Yang, you better keep your mouth shut if you dont want to suffer.'' Li Zhilan spoke through a soft smile.

''Hello Director Tang. Nice to meet you. You can call me Li Zhilan. That's my name used in Country C. ''

The way she greeted Director Tang was completely different compared to how she was talking with director Yang a moment ago.

How could Tang Yemin not notice such an obvious difference. He wasn't stupid. On top of that, Yang's hint was very obvious to him.

One had to know that Yang has very strict requirements just like himself. Yang won't praise anyone let alone recommend. But the way he talked about this miss Serenity was like he was making a path for him to walk well. His hint was too blatantly obvious. He wanted him to connect well with this miss Serenity and work with her.

But his way of talking wasn't like Yang was requesting him to work with her. Instead it seemed like Yang was sharing his gem with him. As if it was his honor if he could work with her. This made his interest in her rise of another level.

To be able of get Yang's recognition to such a degree, she had to have extraordinary talent in acting. Not just that, her character should also be outstanding because Yang doesn't just value talent, he also values character and personality to a very high degree.

This girl seems very interesting.

''Miss Li. The honor is all mine. And you don't have to be so courteous. I am not your immediate senior'' At the moment.

Director Tang didn't know why the other half came on his mind but it did and it shocked him too. Luckily he didn't say it out loud or it would have been embarrassing.

''Then you should also not call me Miss Li. It makes me feel old.''

''Hahaha... Yeah sure. Did you grow up here in Country M?''

''You could say that. I have been here since I was 4. Before that I stayed in Country C.''

''Oh... so do you know how to speak the language of Country C?''

''Ofcourse I do. No matter what, I am still a citizen of country C. You shouldn't belittle others like that.''

''I didn't mean that. I'm sorry it came off wrong.''

After learning that Li Zhilan knew how to speak the language of Country C, Tang Yemin directly spoke to her in Country C's language and Li Zhilan also replied back in the same way.

''It's ok. No worries but you better take care in the future.''

''Ofcourse. But I am surprised. I didn't think you would be so fluent. There isn't even a little accent out of place.''

''Though I grew up here, the people at home still use Country C's language to converse so it's quite simple for me. There is nothing...''

And just like that the two of them continued to converse until director Yang couldn't help but butt in.

''Do the two of you need more time? You better think before you answer. There are a lot of us who are waiting for the two of you to resume our game.''
