Chapter 248  : Director Liu Could Have Been Ruined

HMM? Professor Zhao found this whole situation strange.

Wasn’t Tan Mo there?

The students from Tsinghua University didn’t want to interact or socialize with Tan Mo, yet she was the consultant of “Legend of

Wei and Jin”.

Professor Zhao understood what was going on now. He rubbed his chin.

Things were getting interesting.

Song Mingqi saw how Professor Zhao was beginning to act and hinted to him. “You didn’t really inform us who the consultant was. It wasn’t as if our teachers knew when everyone else from school was asking. That’s why I got sent especially with Yang Guangyuan to come and ask you about it.”

On their way here, Song Mingqi had been thinking about it. Perhaps the reason why the teachers said nothing about it was because they didn’t want to make the students from Tsinghua University feel cheated. And if they did talk about it, maybe the students wouldn’t have believed them and would’ve thought that Beijing University was lying to them.

Now Director Liu was smart.

He had a thriving career in the entertainment industry. Not even thinking about what made him a good director, he was already a master at calculating people and relationships.

Seeing Song Mingqi’s reaction to Professor Zhao saying that Tan Mo was around, obviously those from Beijing University knew that the consultant of “Legend of Wei and Jin” was Tan Mo.

Yet they had said nothing despite knowing and had even brought along an idiot from Tsinghua University to ask Professor Zhao about it.

Director Liu decided to get involved in the situation.

He faked a shocked expression and said, “Tan Mo is with you?”

Song Mingqi smiled to himself. Director Liu wanted to cooperate with them?

What a great director!

They’ve got so much ammunition to destroy the students from Tsinghua with.

“Yes,” Song Mingqi nodded. “Tan Mo is part of our exchange program. As as student of Professor Zhao, he allowed her to come along.”

At this moment, Song Mingqi wasn’t pretending anymore.

Yang Guangyuan was here, and he was soon going to have some message to deliver to the others at the exchange event.

Everything would be cool as long as he kept a close eye on Yang Guangyuan and made sure that he didn’t take his phone out.

Yang Guangyuan’s face turned pale.

Tan Mo was Professor Zhao’s student?

Not only was he shocked, but before he knew it, he said it out loud.

Song Mingqi said with a surprised look, “Didn’t Tan Mo tell you that already? She was interested in history, so she became a student of Professor Zhao. We’re that welcoming at Beijing University.”

Tan Mo had a pretty good line there, and it was good to use it.

No wonder, since she was also a student of Professor Guo.

Yang Guangyuan had become speechless.

Now, who do you think you’re able to lie to?

With a professor like Professor Zhao, there’s no way someone could just stroll up and become his student.

If that really were the case, how come he has so few students right now?

Those people outside the History Department at Beijing University, there’s no way that if you decided to take History you could just go and find Professor Zhao.

Yang Guangyuan was in such disbelief that he couldn’t hide it. It was written all over his face, and Song Mingqi was able to read it.

He shrugged at him and said, “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, Tan Mo is a student of the Finance Department who was interested in History and Professor Zhao took her in.

“Not only was it Professor Zhao, but this occurred with Professor Guo too. She was interested in ancient Chinese so he took her in.” Song Mingqi shrugged his shoulders. “Do you all have that kind of opportunity at Tsinghua University?”

Professor Zhao was trying hard not to laugh, but he was already shaking.

This Song Mingqi, what a man!

He was now paying attention to him closely.

As long as he had good character and a decent amount of knowledge, he could train him for a few years and have him become his disciple.

Lately, Professor Zhao had really been traumatized by the Shen Jingyi situation.

He decided he needed to observe his students’ characters before making any judgments.

Yang Guangyuan had nothing to say once again.

They didn’t have this at his university.

“But you all only have one Tan Mo?” Yang Guangyuan thought that Song Mingqi was just fooling around.

“That doesn’t matter. This is just the way it is at Beijing University.” Song Mingqi shrugged his shoulders again.

This had started to annoy Yang Guangyuan to no end.

Director Liu laughed. “I came this time not only to see Professor Zhao, but also to see Tan Mo. Now that I hear that she’s here, do you mind if I come over and mingle with the crowd?”

“Of course not!” Song Mingqi was touched. “If you were to go, I’m sure our teachers and students would be overjoyed! They all watched ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’ and have been discussing it all this time.”

“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. All right then, I’ll follow along with you.” Director Liu laughed.

Professor Zhao rubbed his chin. “Then it’s settled. I’ll come along too.”

Originally, it had just been Song Mingqi and Yang Guangyuan coming over to ask a few things.

Where did this initiative from these two come from?

Yang Guangyuan was completely dumbfounded.

They’d only come to ask Professor Zhao about the consultant of “Legend of Wei and Jin”.

Why are he and Director Liu now both heading back with them?

It was all quite surprising with these two around.

Halfway there, he suddenly felt that something was off.

A little later, he thought of just exactly what was wrong.

“Professor Zhao, you still haven’t told me who the consultant of ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’ is,” Yang Guangyuan said. “Additionally, we really would like to talk to her if we could get the chance. Would that be possible?”

“Rest assured,” Professor Zhao said, “you’ll have the chance to.”

Yang Guangyuan didn’t say anything else.

What did that mean?

But if Professor Zhao had left it like that, then he shouldn’t keep pestering him.

The four of them continued walking to the venue.

Song Mingqi and Yang Guangyuan walked in first.

Professor Zhao and Director Liu followed closely behind.

Seeing Professor Zhao made the crowd go wild.

Professor Yuan wanted to ask Song Mingqi just how had he gotten Professor Zhao to walk over here.

Before he was able to open his mouth to ask this, everyone saw Director Liu enter behind the professor.

The crowd was stunned.

They weren’t hallucinating, were they?

They needed to make sure that they were seeing properly.

It was indeed Director Liu.

“Director Liu?” Professor Yuan asked in shock.

Song Mingqi ran over to Professor Yuan and whispered, “While I was there, Director Liu was in Professor Zhao’s office. Hearing that Tan Mo was here, he came with us to see her.”

Professor Yuan understood immediately.

It was because of Tan Mo.

That wasn’t strange.

Indeed, she had been the consultant for “Legend of Wei and Jin”, and now that the show had done so well, it did prove that her hard efforts had paid off.

Director Liu came over to a few teachers and smiled. “Since I was just shooting a historical drama, I’ve come over to just take a look as I’m interested. Is that okay?”

Not seeing the errors in Yuan Qishan’s original script had almost caused a disaster. He would have made a huge cultural mistake and suffered a shameful and financial loss.

He had almost been ruined in terms of his reputation and his finances by Yuan Qishan and Shen Jingyi.

If he’d followed their script, just how well would his show have done?

He would have been lucky if it had only been criticized.

He could only imagine how people would’ve taunted him after seeing it.

That would have been horrible. He would have become a joke.

He initially hadn’t seen any problems with the script written by Yuan Qishan.

But Tan Mo had spotted the problems in an instant.

And that was why Director Liu had decided that he needed to improve his knowledge of history.
