Braun didn't like the way that Tangning hurt his pride, so he began to attack back, "If your country really had such great actors, would they look for a model to act?"
Tangning maintained her smile. Her tone was obviously gentle as she spoke...but she was firm and determined to defend her nation's actors.
"That's because our citizens are mult.i.talented. I'm simply the least impressive type," Tangning devalued herself but shocked the foreigners with her flawless method of attack.
When did Asians become so tricky?
When did a woman have the ability to make a bunch of men speechless?
"Bro, don't treat Tangning this way, her acting is actually really good. You'll know what I mean after you watch the film," Taka tried to convince his brother after noticing everyone was getting a little awkward. "She is honestly a great actress. Don't be rude to my friend."
Braun looked at Tangning and then looked at his brother. In the end, he brushed his brother aside and walked off.
Taka sighed before smiling to Tangning apologetically, "I swear today was just a misunderstanding."
"It's OK," Tangning replied in a forgiving manner. After all, she was on foreign territory, yet she already managed to be on the winning side of the argument. It wasn't necessary for her to continue forcing them into a corner.
A while later, Taka also turned to leave and the atmosphere returned to normal. Meanwhile, Taka's team resumed control over the event. However, they no longer underestimated Tangning after what she had said to Taka's brother. So, for the rest of the event, they treated her with courtesy and politeness.
During this time, plenty of people approached Tangning to ask her about Mo Ting, "This man has good taste. He is..."
"He's my manager," Tangning replied politely.
"In that case...which agency does he belong to?"
Tangning could see through the woman's intent, so she smiled and replied, "Sorry, apart from me, he won't be anyone else's manager. He is the CEO of Hai Rui - my husband."
The woman was a little surprised as she lifted the gla.s.s in her hand apologetically.
This wasn't originally a grand scale event, but Tangning's winning battle ended up making her famous in the US.
This was because a paparazzi was hiding in the hotel and captured footage of Tangning and Braun's argument. He then posted the footage on a popular American website.
How did an Asian woman manage to capture the attention of the Americans over and over again?
Apart from her Qipao, which represented the culture of her nation, her response to Braun was impressively powerful.
One year ago, she changed the American ideal of beauty. And today, she changed the American view on Asian actors.
Her words showed that the US wasn't an accepting country and Braun's insulting actions made it impossible for the Americans to deny this point.
It didn't take long before news spread to China. Grandfather Mo followed this story intensely. Seeing Tangning standing before the Americans without any fear and saying words that made him proud, he felt all the embarra.s.sment he once suffered was finally flushed down the drain.
He once felt that Tangning was still missing something. But, he didn't figure out what it was.
It wasn't until now that he finally realized; he wanted to see Tangning show the same strength in character as the Mo Family.
It goes without saying that after this incident, Tangning completely received acknowledgment from Elder Mo. A great granddaughter-in-law like this, deserved to be doted upon.
Of course, Tangning didn't only walk out of this ordeal with Elder Mo's adoration. The news of her battle with Braun ended up spreading throughout the whole of China.
