When the Bai couple heard this, they understood what Zheng Wen was implying and said, “That’s right! It’s been more than 20 years, and it’s completely changed since we were here. 1 don’t know which restaurants are good anymore.”
Zheng Wen immediately chimed in, “I like to eat when I’m free. I’m familiar with this! Are you free next Wednesday night? Let’s have a meal together. Treat it as me making a new friend and welcoming you.”
Mi Li replied jokingly, “Then we won’t be polite. We’ll bring our family to eat.”
Satisfied, both parties agreed on a time for their next meeting.
The matter of the spokesperson was not announced during the opening ceremony. However, the next day, Tan Ming followed the filming team to an island to take promotional photos. There was also a short video that was filmed on a small island in Southeast Asia for three days and two nights.
Considering that the babies had a cold, Tan Ming and Li Mei discussed it and only brought their assistants to the shoot. Otherwise, delaying it would be worse.
Li Mei was the founder of Tianqi Clothing and was also the former chief designer. Later on, she retired to be behind the scenes and left the company to be managed by the Jiang Corporation.
The costume that Tan Ming was wearing for this shoot was designed by Li Mei. The new season of Tianqi’s costume was designed with the combination of eastern and western elements as inspiration. Li Mei perfectly integrated the theme and Tan Ming’s own temperament through the design.
In order to finish the shoot successfully, filming began the same afternoon they arrived at their destination. There was no filming at night, so everyone got their free time. It was rare for Tan Ming to get to go overseas, so she wanted to go out for a walk. She knocked on Wang Zhen’s door. “Wang Zhen, I’m going out to take a look. You sprained your ankle today, so rest well in the hotel.”
Wang Zhen was a little worried. She turned around and jumped on one leg to get her backpack. “An’an, I’d better follow you.”
Tan Ming pulled Wang Zhen back and said with a smile, “With your legs, if you really follow me far, I’m worried that your feet will swell up like pig trotters tomorrow. I’ll just walk around by myself. The vendors in the touristy cities will definitely know some common phrases. Furthermore, mobile phones have translation functions. I can communicate with them when I buy things and ask for directions. There won’t be a problem.”
Wang Zhen thought that the safety of this city was ranked in the top three in Asia, so she did not insist. “Then call me immediately if you need anything.”
Tan Ming nodded. “Don’t worry. I’m already 26 years old.”
Tan Ming had gone out into society to work part-time to earn money before she had even reached adulthood. She had seen a lot of the dark side of society. She had not lived those years for nothing!
Huanlang Island was a world-famous scenic spot. Tan Ming was a little excited as she walked through the exotic streets and alleys.
Due to historical and political reasons, there were buildings of both East and West styles. However, when they were combined, they did not feel discordant at all. This land had experienced many wars in the last century, but fortunately, the buildings were intact.
Compared to the fast-paced life in Sea City, this seemed to be another world. Walking on the streets of Huanlang Island, Tan Ming felt that even the speed at which the leaves fell was much slower.
There were many snack stalls along the way. Tan Ming had intentionally skipped dinner for this. As she ate, she shopped and bought many local knick knacks to bring back to China.
Tan Ming walked all the way to the reef shore. It was just past ten o’clock, but there was almost no one by the sea. Tan Ming walked in and took a look. She planned to return from the way she came from. Unexpectedly, from afar, she saw a man in a shirt and trousers surrounded by a group of bare-chested men with knives and sticks.
Tan Ming first turned and looked around. She did not see any police officers. After some hesitation, she took out her phone and called the police. “Hello, 1 want to report something. There’s a fight by the beach!”
The police officer’s voice came from the phone. “Hello, how many people are involved in the fight?”
Tan Ming counted with her fingers. “Eight men against one man! They’re even holding a steel pipe.”
As Tan Ming was not familiar with the local roads, the two of them spent a lot of time communicating to confirm the address. When Tan Ming looked around for landmark buildings, she was spotted by the group of men.
The two men pointed at Tan Ming and shouted a few words. Then, they ran towards Tan Ming in large strides. Tan Ming could tell that they were speaking in the local language. This was a little out of line. However, when she saw how aggressive they were, she knew that they definitely wanted to teach her a lesson.
Tan Ming looked at the distance between this place and the main road. It was a little far. Even if she made it, she wouldn’t be able to get a ride immediately.
While blaming herself for being nosy, Tan Ming threw the food she had packed to the side and began to take out the pepper spray from her bag..contemporary romance
