Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

"That being said, it does fit..."

Alecino fully played the role of a supporting actor and responded positively to Xavier's words.

By the way, during this process, Alechino was always paying attention to Finina's expression.

"Ah... but who could have thought that there would be a problem with the funds? Now... how am I going to explain this to Ms. Chiori and the actors who came all the way from Inazuma!"

Xavier sighed and lowered his head, looking very depressed.

"Chiori? Mr. Xavier, are you talking about the owner of the clothing store [Chiori-ya]?"

Arecino asked.

"That's right, Ms. Perewilli. It's her... Ms. Chiori was specially invited by me to be the artistic director of Yingyingzhong. She is also responsible for the image design of the actors in Yingyingzhong that I am in charge of."

Xavier nodded and said.

"Ah, it's her! I know her... Miss Chiori is a famous fashion designer in Fontaine, but there are always many controversies about her designs. I personally don't care about it."

Furninna spoke at the right time.

"As far as I remember, she designed the clothes for Navia, the eldest daughter of the Thorn Rose Society. I also want to ask her to design a set of clothes for me."

Alechino glanced sideways. Furninna's praise of Chizhi was not unexpected to her.

After all, as an executive officer and servant of the Fatui, Arlecino's job is to handle intelligence.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is almost nothing about Fontaine that she doesn't know, and her eyes have long spread across the seven countries.

After the Thousand Shadows Festival, Alechino will leave Fontaine for a while, because her [Eyes] have discovered something incredible in Mondstadt.

"Since Lady Funina also thinks highly of Miss Chizhi, I would be remiss if I don't pay her a visit."

Alechino curled her lips and said.

"Hmm... what do you think of Ms. Chiori? She speaks directly and does things efficiently. The Fontaine fashion industry calls her the Thundering Brocade Tailor."

"Ms. Chiori's clothing designs are extremely outstanding. Because of this, many Fontaine people have developed a keen interest in Inazuma."

"Speaking of which, this international screening is also thanks to Ms. Chiori. The actors invited from Inazuma are all people Ms. Chiori knows. She is really a kind-hearted lady."

Xavier smiled and praised sincerely.

"The actors of Inazuma... I'm a little curious about their identities."

Furninna stroked her chin, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

Although she lived for five hundred years, Funina never left Fontaine once.

Even though she has met many foreigners, she is still very curious about foreign scenery and foreign friends.

"Haha, then why don't you... Lady Funina and Lady Peruvian come with me to the patrol ship terminal to greet them? According to the time, they are here too."

Xavier smiled and put one hand on his chest, extending a sincere invitation.

……

Let’s quickly get to the patrol ship terminal, which is not far from Momang Palace.

On the platform, a woman in strange clothes seemed to be waiting for her friend.

"Ms. Chiori..."

Xavier took Fernina and Alechino to the woman and called out to her.

"Well... you talked to the investor pretty quickly, and the patrol ship hasn't arrived yet."

Qianzhi heard someone calling him, and the voice was familiar, so he turned around and responded.

"These two... Lady Furninna and the stranger."

At the same time, Chizhi also noticed Finnina and Arlecino beside Xavier. She showed obvious surprise when she saw Finnina, but became very cold when she saw the disguised Arlecino.

"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Peruvian. She is a producer and investor from Shadow of Winter."

Xavier pointed at Alecino and said.

"Hello."

Chiori nodded calmly, her cold temperament comparable to that of Arlecino.

However, there is more to Alecino than just aloofness.

"Hello. Since I entered Fontaine, I have heard people praising the owner of Chiori-ya more than once. Now I finally get to see him in person."

Alechino smiled politely and said some polite words.

These words fit her current disguise and would not arouse suspicion of her.

"Thank you, this is just what I should do as a fashion designer."

Chihiro nodded, modestly.

After a simple polite remark, Qianzhi's eyes returned to Xavier. Obviously, the politeness with Ms. Peruvian was far less important than the business.

"You don't look right... So, what happened? With the investor?"

Chihiro had a look of seeing through everything.

"Alas... I can't escape your eyes..."

Xavier sighed softly and explained to Chiori what had happened previously.

During this time, Finina and Alechino did not interrupt Xavier's narration.

"Ugh……"

After hearing what Xavier said, Qianzhi sighed.

"Uh, wait a minute, Ms. Qianzhi, I... I know you warned me that there was something wrong with this investor..."

Before Xavier could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chizhi.

"He definitely has."

"But I really couldn't refuse... He proposed a budget that was twice as high as others. It was twice as high!"

Xavier tried to defend himself, but Chiori continued to speak without mercy.

“That’s the problem.”

Simple, but straight to the point.

"I... I also have my reasons. I got such an excellent script, so of course I want to make this movie well. But the budgets of other investors... are totally insufficient. I finally met someone who is willing to pay a high price, so I..."

Xavier lowered his head guiltily, feeling lost and regretful.

Obviously, if Xavier had known that this investor, Mr. Morris, would run away halfway, he would rather choose other investors. Even if the funds would not be enough, he would not choose Mr. Morris.

"Well... although according to the contract of the Thousand Spirits Shadow Festival, you cannot find a new investor. So can you try to find a loophole..."

"I will lend you money to finance your filming of Yingying, and we only need to sign a contract with the following conditions: if your Yingying becomes popular, we will split the revenue 80% to 20%, and the adaptation and screening rights will also belong to me. How about that?"

Alechino asked.

As she spoke, she created the image of a hateful capitalist who took advantage of the situation to rob people.

The adaptation rights and screening rights of Yingying are the most important things for a Yingying. If Xavier gives up these two, it means he has given up this Yingying.

After filming was completed, Xavier had nothing to do with the film anymore.
