Kevin's expression remained unchanged, and he still smiled gently and warmly, with only a slight ripple on the tip of his nose and a barely perceptible flicker in his eyes.

However, Su Lingxi could feel that he seemed... very surprised by the answer she gave.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Due to the nature of his work, Kevin Cowan has come into contact with many Hollywood stars, but almost no one would be as decisive as the one in front of him to give up the opportunity to take shortcuts.

In this industry, most people have low moral standards. It is very common for male celebrities to look for female sponsors or male bosses for resources, and some people are even proud of it.

Kevin never criticized their behavior because "saints" can't make it in Hollywood.

People only have weaknesses when they have desires, and only then can they be accepted and recognized by others.

Otherwise, you will be regarded as a weirdo.

But she seemed different.

When she rejected him, she didn't hesitate or feel afraid. Instead, she stared at him with those disgusting yet determined eyes.

What was she thinking at that moment?

Kevin couldn't help but feel curious.

He thought, no wonder that arrogant guy Joey Cox was willing to spend a lot of money on her. Putting other factors aside, this girl did have some unusual charm.

Every step was beyond his expectations.

Kevin had no idea that his mentality had begun to change unconsciously.

"You're very smart. I mean - I'm very happy to have a clear-headed partner in a foreign country." Kevin curled the corners of his lips miserly and said calmly.

His expression returned to its initial calmness, and seemed a little indifferent.

This made Su Lingxi feel a little relieved.

It seems she made the right bet.

"Well, with all due respect, this isn't a joke that people can laugh at," she complained half-heartedly. "Thanks for your approval, Kevin, but I hope we can talk about it openly next time."

"We are partners, aren't we? I think everyone should understand the difference between a partnership and a master-servant relationship."

Su Lingxi smiled gently, but the weight of her words was enough to make people think deeply.

Kevin is a representative sent by Columbia Pictures and symbolizes the key to Hollywood. Su Lingxi doesn't want to offend him, but she also cannot leave him with the impression that she is a cowardly soft persimmon that is easy to bully.

She needed him to understand that she could do business with him on an equal footing, and was not just a decorative vase as he thought.

At least at this stage, a simple warning is necessary.

If he was going to fly into a rage over a specious warning, then even if he was the president of Columbia Pictures, there would be no value in making friends with him for Su Lingxi.

People who are too narrow-minded and have too narrow a vision will eventually be doomed even if they are in a high position now.

On the other side, Kevin carefully observed Su Lingxi's expression. After confirming that she was not really angry, he pulled the corner of his lips and said, "People with strength are certainly worthy of respect. What just happened was just a harmless episode. Let's forget about it together, okay?"

After being in the entertainment industry for so many years, Su Lingxi understands one thing very well: the higher the status of the boss, the less likely it is that he will do something without a purpose.

Their time is precious, so they rarely waste it on meaningless things.

The same applies to Kevin Cowan.

But Su Lingxi knew in her heart that even if she continued to ask, she would not get an answer as long as Kevin didn't want to talk.

So, she didn't ask any more questions, but just put on her impeccable smile again and clinked glasses with him.

The interior of the yacht is luxurious, and the pearl headband is even more eye-catching under the bright lights.

Kevin subconsciously took a few more glances.

As I was reading this, I remembered the gossip that my good friend Stephen Meyer brought me two days ago.

Although it is new news, it is not that new - Stephen is an avid extreme sports enthusiast. He has been obsessed with rock climbing for some time, from free climbing to ice climbing. He even went to Iceland for more than a month and only returned home recently.

Kevin was thinking absentmindedly that even Stephen had heard the rumor that "Joey Cox was suspected to be infatuated with a foreign actress", but he was the last one to know about it.

There is no doubt that he is not a friend at all in Joey's heart, and his status may not even be comparable to that of the "saint" Nicole in front of him.

To introduce the wonderful relationship between Kevin and Joey, we have to start with Cox and Cowan, two famous surnames in the last century.

Dean Cox, the "King of Movies", started his career very early. He had already devoted himself to the industry before the technology of movies became popular all over the world. Even the Oscars, which are recognized as the most prestigious awards, were first proposed by him, and then the system was improved step by step, leading to the now famous Oscars.

In comparison, Richard Cowan's father and Kevin Cowan's grandfather, Luke Cowan, became rich much later. It was not until the middle of the last century that he relied on Dean's support to jump from an unknown third-rate director to a mainstream recognized director.

To him, Dean Cox was a noble person who had given him opportunities.

So even though MGM Group was on the decline, the Cowan family always maintained a good relationship with the Cox family and always moved forward hand in hand.

Kevin Dean and Joey Cox are no exception.

Kevin is five years older than Joey. Even before Joey could walk, he knew that this was the younger brother he had to take good care of in the future.

Kevin is an only child with no brothers or sisters. He has never been close to his half-cousins. Even though they all have the last name Cowan, it cannot change the naturally destined competitive relationship between them.

In contrast, Kevin prefers to invest his brotherly love in Joey, who is younger than him, has blond hair and blue eyes and is well-behaved. He plays various ball games with him and helps him review his homework... It is no exaggeration to say that even if Kevin has a younger brother, he may not be so good to him.

Good times are always short-lived, and everything came to an abrupt end one summer day.

Joey Cox, who was considered the most well-behaved child by all the elders, had a big quarrel with his father and ran away from home in anger. He did not return home for three months.

When Kevin heard the news, he was so angry that his eyes turned red: he didn't blame Joey for running away from home, but he was angry that Joey didn't even say goodbye to him before leaving.

How could he ever consider him as a brother or a friend?

Since then, Kevin unilaterally cut off contact with Joey, and the other party also tacitly never contacted him again.

To this day, the relationship between the two has not improved at all.
