"When I was struggling in Hollywood, Professor Chu helped me a lot."
Gratitude permeated Tang Yao's tone.
That was two or three years ago when Tangyao Film Company was expanding into overseas markets, and he had traveled far across the ocean to start a business.
In an unfamiliar land, every step was a setback.
At a casual meeting of Chinese expatriates, he met Nanxi's father, Chu Wenxuan, a university professor known for his erudition, respected in both Chinese circles and international cultural spheres.
Knowing Tang Yao's difficulties, he went back and forth, helping Tang Yao network, enabling Tangyao Film Company to survive its initial obstacles.
"I remember back then the professor mentioned he had a daughter studying directing, never thought it would be you. Unfortunately, I never met her!"
"At that time, I was in school."
Her school and her father's home were not in the same city, so it was not strange that Tang Yao had not met her.
