The area of ​​this dining table is not very large. Su Lingxi can clearly see Joey's facial expression, and Joey can also see the sarcasm that flashes across her eyes.

The flame in his heart burned even brighter in an instant.

"Joey, you and Selina have known each other for a long time. She has always been a director who values ​​filming above all else. You understand that, don't you?" Probably fearing that things would get completely out of control, Production Director Alexander took the initiative to smooth things over. "To be honest, Nicole's original hair color does suit her better, and it also suits Betty better. This is a fact that neither you nor I can deny."

After saying this, he gave Su Lingxi a soothing smile.

It was obvious that he was taking the opportunity to do her a favor.

It seems... Alexander is also optimistic about her as an actress.

Su Lingxi realized this and smiled faintly in response.

If such a big shot had expressed his appreciation for her when she first came to Paris, she might have been very excited. However, since the one-shot scene was shot two days ago, the number of people in the crew who showed kindness to her increased rapidly within 24 hours. Flowers, chocolates...all kinds of small gifts were sent to her as if they were free of charge. She has become numb to even the nicest compliments.

Under such circumstances, Su Lingxi was somewhat surprised at Alexander's goodwill, but not much.

I just found it funny. The situation was almost in chaos, but he still took advantage of every opportunity to step on Joey Cox and curry favor with him. He really has a strong mental strength.

Unfortunately, the young master was too stupid to understand the other party's intention at all. He just focused his firepower on her.

Judging from his expression, he would probably attribute today's farce to the trouble she caused.

Su Lingxi felt a little annoyed, but also a little happy.

She is not a masochist. Regardless of whether Cox was being used by others or was targeting her from the bottom of his heart, she has suffered a lot because of him in various aspects.

In that case, of course she had to return them one by one.

Being stupid doesn't mean being innocent, and she doesn't have that much sympathy.

Adults should pay the price for their actions.

So this time, Su Lingxi didn't pretend to be magnanimous and gently brushed off the matter like she did before. Instead, her eyes were red for the first time: "Mr. Cox, I really want to know why you have such a big opinion of me? I don't remember how I have offended you before."

As she spoke, she shed a few tears, "Or... you just don't like me because of my nationality and race?"

The fire wasn't burning brightly enough, so she had to add some more fuel.

Cox was startled by her sudden tears and frowned subconsciously, "Of course I don't think so, I just..."

"Just what? Don't you like me playing the leading female role?" Su Lingxi wiped away her tears and asked calmly, "If you are dissatisfied with my performance over the past three days, I am willing to accept your suggestions and improve in the days to come."

Cox, who thought she was going to take advantage of the situation to make a scene, was stunned.

The young master did not realize that this was a tactic of retreating in order to advance. Instead, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable because of the other party's sincere attitude.

He thought carefully about her performance on the set over the past few days. Even if he used the most stringent standards to criticize her, he couldn't find much fault with her.

She is undoubtedly a very gifted and talented actress.

Take the one-take shot that day, for example, which only took ten minutes to prepare. Even Verina, whom he had always been optimistic about, might not be able to do it.

But she did it.

Joey suddenly doubted the truth of the previous rumors - was Nicole really a relative who was inserted through the director's backdoor?

He didn't think the strength she displayed was something that a person with connections could possess.

With such strength, there is no need to use backdoors.

"Joey, if something like this happens again, I will ask you to leave my crew." Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Selina thought that he had arrogantly ignored everyone again (after all, he had done a lot of this before). Her face became colder, and she left with Su Lingxi after leaving an ultimatum.

With her back to the crowd, Su Lingxi slightly raised the corners of her lips.

Selina's reaction was exactly what she expected.

Selina is a strong and domineering person. She certainly won't allow anyone to bully her in her territory.

With her warning, Cox will probably not dare to act rashly again.

The troublesome person who had troubled her for several days was finally dealt with.

Su Lingxi let out a breath.

Alexander looked at the two figures walking away together, and his tone unconsciously became a little anxious: "Joey, you are a manager, you should know the power of public opinion better than me. Once rumors of racial discrimination spread, whether true or false, each of us will be brought to the forefront. This is not good for the crew, the movie, or Simon. Don't you understand this?"

Joey was still immersed in his own thoughts and didn't hear what he said at all. He just nodded dazedly.

Seeing him nod, Alexander sighed and hurried over to catch up with Selina.

"Joey, I really don't understand why you have to target Nicole?" Simon loosened his sleeves, his eyes full of confusion. "I know you wanted Verina to play with me at first, but... Nicole is very good, she is no worse than anyone else. If you can try to put aside some prejudices, you will find that she is actually a worthy opponent for us to respect."

"Rival? Simon, you think too highly of her." Joey subconsciously retorted: "I can make you a Hollywood superstar, but she is destined to be rejected by Hollywood. She will never be your rival."

Simon spread his hands disapprovingly. "Apart from other factors, she is indeed a better actor than me. You and I cannot deny that."

"It's just because you are younger than her and lack experience. If..."

"Hey, don't give me those excuses. She's only one year older than me, okay?" Simon interrupted him and said seriously, "Anyway, I just hope you can get along harmoniously - you know Selina has a bad temper, and we can't mess everything up."

"Of course, I know my limits." Joey tried to defend himself.

Simon looked at him helplessly and thought: Do you have any sense of propriety?

He would be thankful if he could control his temper.

Joey was a little angry at his look, but considering Selina's warning, he didn't dare to get angry again and barely suppressed his anger.

As for who this anger was directed at, he didn't have time to care about it for the time being.

More than anything else, he wanted to find out the truth of those rumors.
