Mike and Jon, Hans and Liangli, the four people in the conference room were all looking at Su Yang.
Their thoughts varied, but Su Yang knew that only Liangli was on his side.
Mike and Jon hadn't expected Su Yang to say what he did, nor had they anticipated such a formidable guest from Long Country.
After Su Yang finished his conversation with the system, these people were still staring at him.
Su Yang smiled faintly and said, "The fundamental issues here are quite serious, but if you put it another way, they aren't. It all depends on your attitude.
I'll say it again, we people from Long Country don't offend easily, but we also won't let anyone who offends us off the hook."
After speaking, Su Yang looked at Mike and asked, "Do you have any more questions for me?"
Mike swallowed and then looked at Jon.
Jon, perhaps feeling uncomfortable under Su Yang's imposing presence, frowned and then said to Su Yang, "The essence of our program will not change. The situation you described... perhaps we cannot completely avoid it, but I promise you here.
If you feel uncomfortable about anything, please speak up, and we will do our best to resolve it for you."
In fact, Jon's statement conveyed a great deal to Su Yang.
They couldn't prevent others from being discriminatory towards Long Country, but if it happened, Su Yang could voice it.
They would try their best to resolve it, but whether it could be fully resolved was another matter.
Looking at the people before him, Su Yang nodded. "Alright."
Even if this was just a verbal promise, it was better than nothing.
Jon's statement was already the furthest he could go for Su Yang.
There was no point in saying more. Su Yang's situation in Mei Country for the next three months was uncertain.
Su Yang had anticipated this and was mentally prepared. He wouldn't have come if he hadn't been.
Although it was a system directive.
"Any other questions?" Su Yang asked them again.
"No, just fill in an address, and a driver will pick you up tomorrow to participate in the program," Mike said, handing Su Yang a piece of paper and a pen.
Su Yang took them, wrote a string of Mei characters on the paper, and then said, "I'll be going now. See you tomorrow, Director. See you tomorrow, Producer."
After finishing, Su Yang turned and left the conference room.
Liangli, after a moment of stunned silence, followed Su Yang out.
"Su Yang."
Once outside, Liangli called out to Su Yang.
Su Yang turned to look at her. "What is it?"
"You were... so handsome just now," Liangli said to Su Yang, her face flushed.
Su Yang blinked in surprise and then smiled at Liangli. "I've always been this handsome. Are you only realizing it now?"
Hearing Su Yang's words, Liangli smiled even more brightly.
Looking at Su Yang, Liangli said, "You were exceptionally handsome today. When you were talking to them, I've never seen a man so handsome."
Hearing Liangli's words, Su Yang smiled and looked at her. "It's alright. I think any person from Long Country standing here today wouldn't have remained silent."
"Then perhaps I'm not from Long Country. Facing such a situation, I wouldn't know what to say."
Su Yang looked at Liangli in confusion. "Aren't you a host? Your adaptability should be very strong. Why wouldn't you know what to say?"
Liangli looked at Su Yang a little sheepishly. "That's when I'm at home, on my own turf. My adaptability is strong then. And Mike and Jon, the two of them, are really quite intimidating."
Liangli explained to Su Yang, who didn't quite believe her.
Liangli wasn't young, and she had been in the industry for over a decade. She shouldn't be at a loss for words in such a situation.
Even abroad, Liangli should have been able to respond quite well.
This left only one possibility: Liangli had been influenced by some reason.
There was no need to overthink it; it was undoubtedly Su Yang who had influenced Liangli.
Su Yang didn't say it directly, as girls valued their pride.
Looking at Liangli, Su Yang smiled and said, "Alright. But I was a bit nervous today too. I didn't expect that although the director and producer appear to treat everyone equally on the surface, they actually favor their own countrymen deep down."
"Yes, it's hard to say about this kind of situation."
Su Yang pursed his lips. "There's nothing hard to say about it. If everyone were truly equal, even Hans, being their countryman, would have sided with us."
Su Yang sighed. "I also didn't expect that Mike and Jon, who were like that at the beginning, would reveal their true colors so obviously later on."
"Everything that just happened was recorded, you know that?" Liangli asked Su Yang.
Su Yang nodded. "I know. You do too?"
"I've been a host for so many years, of course I know," Liangli replied.
Su Yang nodded in understanding.
"What was recorded will likely be broadcast in video format later. Your performance was excellent. I just don't know how it will be received abroad. But domestically, the reaction will definitely be explosive," Liangli said, looking at Su Yang.
Su Yang pursed his lips, then looked at Liangli. "We came out to record this program not to please our own people, but to gain recognition from foreigners.
Therefore, we can't just look at the domestic reaction; the main focus should be on the international reception.
When you return to Long Country, you must pay close attention to the situation abroad and send me updates."
Su Yang had originally just intended to participate in a dating show, but after arriving, he felt that as a person from Long Country, he couldn't tolerate being ridiculed, especially seeing Long Country being ridiculed.
No one could stand by and watch their country be mocked without doing anything.
Su Yang certainly couldn't.
He was a true man of blood and sweat, and now, in addition to accepting the system's mission, he also carried the responsibility of promoting Long Country's traditional culture.
Liangli hadn't expected Su Yang to think this way.
She looked at Su Yang, slightly shocked.
Seeing Su Yang's expression, Liangli admired him even more.
Looking at Su Yang, Liangli said, "Okay, no problem. I'll also talk to Director Wen about this situation when I get back, so they can pay more attention to how Long Country is being perceived abroad."
Hearing this, Su Yang nodded with relief and then said, "That's all for now.
By the way, when are you leaving?"
Liangli glanced at her phone. "The handover of work is almost complete. I don't have much to do now, so I can leave."
"Good, and when do you plan to leave?"
"I originally wanted to stay and play for a while, but I thought about the many things waiting for me back in Long Country. I'll leave the day after tomorrow. I'll watch you record for a day, see how things are, and then I'll leave."
Su Yang nodded. "That's fine. But don't worry. Everyone knows the situation. Just face what's unavoidable with a calm heart.
Leave the rest to fate.
Moreover, through this experience, I will be more mindful. Even if I encounter problems, I will have the ability to handle them."
Liangli knew Su Yang's capabilities. "I know your abilities. I believe in you. Everyone in Long Country believes in you. Long Country stands with you."
Su Yang smiled faintly. "With those words, it's enough."
The two of them took a car back to the manor. Upon their return, Yang Mange helped Su Yang pack his luggage for his departure the next day.
Around six o'clock the next morning, the driver sent by the program team arrived.
Because the manor was some distance from Sunshine Beach, the driver arrived quite early.
Su Yang could have asked his own driver to take him, but since the program team offered to pick him up, Su Yang didn't want to refuse.
He was worried that Mike and Jon might target him again because of this.
Su Yang wasn't afraid, but he wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Besides, Su Yang's car was too expensive. Taking it to the filming location would likely cause quite a stir.
About an hour after departing, Su Yang arrived at the filming site.
Sunshine Beach looked significantly different from when Su Yang had first arrived.
The site was beautifully decorated.
Su Yang, carrying his suitcase, dressed in casual wear and wearing sunglasses, walked towards the recording area with a full stride.
