Su Lingxi is not a nosy person - giving people privacy is the most basic courtesy in social situations.

He didn't say anything more and changed the subject, "What a pity! Tonight is indeed a good opportunity to make some connections."

Connections are always valuable, just like many supermodels and celebrities would rather not take any pay but would still try their best to attend luxury brand dinners and events.

On the one hand, it is for exposure, and on the other hand, it is to meet people who can provide them with resources.

“Who said it wasn’t? Not only was Zheng Jue invited, but several directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan were also invited. Weibo really spent a lot of money this time.” Bei Ning sighed softly and subconsciously glanced at the front row.

Su Lingxi followed her gaze and didn't pay much attention to other people, but met the eyes of Zhou Jiaming who was looking at her from the side.

The other party smiled first, and Su Lingxi had no choice but to smile back.

"Do you know him too?" Bei Ning approached her curiously and lowered his voice. "I just heard about his private life a few days ago... I feel like he's quite hypocritical."

Due to the large number of people around, Bei Ning was not in a position to say much and just gave her a look that said "you know".

Su Lingxi understood what she meant, smiled and shook his head, "It's just that we've met briefly a few times in Hong Kong City before, so we're not that familiar."

"That's good." Bei Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "Just don't be fooled by the image of a good husband and a good father that he has created."

Although he didn't know what the melon was specifically about, Su Lingxi could guess it roughly based on these few words.

There are many people in the business world who like to show off their stable family and their love for their wives and children. Their purpose is just to emphasize their image of being loyal, reliable and dedicated to their partners. However, they still spend more money than anyone else in private.

The same is true for many middle-aged male actors in the entertainment industry. They pretend to be more "tall" than anyone else, but in fact they cannot resist temptation at all, and cheating is common.

Su Lingxi didn't care about Zhou Jiaming's private life. She and him were just trading interests for the sake of each other.

She promised to introduce him to Fujita Ryo, and he helped her canvass votes for the Academy Awards judges.

Kill two birds with one stone, mutual benefit.

But... in this transaction, Su Lingxi played a little trick.

She did not introduce Zhou Jiaming to Fujita Ryo directly, but chose a roundabout way - taking him to a private party hosted by Kitagawa Yoshiko first.

In response to this, Su Lingxi explained that she was afraid that Zhou Jiaming would go back on his word after hooking up with Fujita Ling and stop helping her canvass for votes.

This reason sounded reasonable, and since it was well known that Kitagawa Yoshiko was the student that Fujita Ryo relied on most, Zhou Jiaming agreed.

However, in fact, Su Lingxi had never intended to help him introduce Fujita Ryo from the beginning to the end.

This was just a scheme designed by her and Kitagawa Yoshiko.

There is no need to alarm Fujita Ling, and Zhou Jiaming's connections in Hong Kong City can be used to his advantage.

Guaranteed profit without loss.

Su Lingxi's plan was that if she won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards, she would let Kitagawa Yoshiko treat him perfunctorily for two months, and then find an excuse to slowly distance herself from him; if she didn't win... then she would just have to consider herself unlucky and continue to pretend to be nice for a while.

Fortunately, everything went well.

Not only Zhou Jiaming, there were several other judges of the Academy Awards who appreciated Su Lingxi's performance more.

"The Rose Thorn" has good reputation, box office and international fame. Even the judges who want to defend local actors cannot deny that Su Lingxi's performance in the film is outstanding.

What's more, "The Rose Thorn" has been doing very well at the box office since its release in Hong Kong, and it has also attracted a wave of movie fans.

They believe that the story of the film takes place in Hong Kong in the last century, which is equivalent to the story of Hong Kong. Awarding the Academy Awards to "The Rose Thorn" can be regarded as a heritage and recognition of Hong Kong culture.

In this way, Su Lingxi winning the award became a natural thing, and except for Zhang Siying's supporters, everyone else accepted it well.

In this matter, Zhou Jiaming's effect was not as great as initially expected.

So Su Lingxi has nothing to feel guilty about.

They only feel guilty when they should.

To him? Definitely not.

I think that by then this calculating senior will have a very unhappy look on his face.

The Hong Kong city today is not the Hong Kong city of the last century. Even Lanjia Entertainment is busy showing goodwill to the mainland. Even if he wants to retaliate... it may be difficult.

I can only bear this loss by myself.

Thinking of what Bei Ning had specifically told her just now, Su Lingxi couldn't help laughing.

Maybe the friend filter was too strong, and she was treated as an innocent little white flower who was easily deceived.

Unfortunately, she is a "bad guy" who has his own evil ways.

Meanwhile, the process of awarding and receiving prizes on stage continues.

Having attended too many thrilling award ceremonies, Su Lingxi couldn't help feeling a little bored when suddenly switching to a calm event like Weibo Movie Night.

If it weren't for Bei Ning, a walking gossip book, filling her with audio, she might have dozed off on the spot.

The award has little value, and neither the award presenters nor the winners are very interested.

Rather than the awards themselves, most people seemed to be more concerned about who wore the latest season's haute couture and who wore haute couture jewelry.

It’s not like a Weibo movie night, but more like a Weibo fashion dinner.

Su Lingxi sighed silently in her heart and decided to talk to Yang Qian later and try to reduce the frequency of participating in such activities.

If you want to increase your exposure, you can participate in various film festivals, such as the Beijing Film Festival, Shanghai Film Festival and Pingyao International Film Festival. They have received a lot of attention in recent years. There is no need to sit here and waste your time.

In the boredom, Su Lingxi suddenly remembered that her teacher had said before that she was a natural warmonger.

Only challenges and setbacks in this world can excite her.

Now it seems that the teacher is indeed very good at judging people.

After finally waiting for the event to end, Su Lingxi was about to go back to the lounge to change back into her private clothes, but was stopped by a strange man in the corridor.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Su Lingxi had the ability of [photographic memory], and she was very sure that she had never seen the person in front of her.

The obviously ill-fitting suit, the too-long trouser legs, the messy hair... he looked a bit like an uninvited guest who had mistakenly wandered into the backstage.

Thinking of the previous attack, Su Lingxi frowned slightly and stood cautiously within the protection circle of bodyguards.

The man seemed to be frightened by the dozen people surrounding her. He adjusted his glasses with shaking hands and whispered, "Teacher Su, I'm a screenwriter. I've just written a long script. I think it's very suitable for you."

As he spoke, he took out the folder in his arms and said, "My name is Shi Zhicheng, please believe me, I am really not a bad person..."
