Joking aside, Saphir was still very perceptive and understood something from Chizhi's attitude.

This so-called investor doesn't seem to have a good reputation, at least in Qianzhi's opinion, it is not worth cooperating with.

But Xavier did not listen to the advice and still chose to cooperate with the other party, which led to this painful lesson. How should I put it, he deserved it.

But the problem with this investor is a little bigger, which makes Safire a little curious.

Most scams are either for money or sex, and basically cannot deviate from this logic.

But this Xavier... a pauper, he certainly has no money, and as for lust... Saphir can only say that Fontaine is not Chengdu, so it's not that outrageous.

What is he trying to achieve? The behavior of this investor always gives Safire the feeling that he simply doesn't want Xavier to make the film.

It seems that the other party's goal is to destroy the script. This is very interesting.

Little Paimon couldn't bear to tease anymore, so he spoke to comfort her: "Don't be sad, Xavier, we... maybe we can get some Mora for you?"

This little guy doesn't have much money, but he's so arrogant.

Xavier has also seen the world, so he naturally knows that Paimon is completely ignorant of the market and would only say this: "Thank you, Paimon, I appreciate your kindness. But Yingying's expenses are very high... I'm afraid we can't even pay the actors' appearance fees..."

This is a fact. After all, when making a movie, no matter how you save costs, the actors' appearance fees are indispensable, not to mention if you want to invite some big-name stars to participate, the treatment in all aspects must keep up.

Xavier wanted to make a great movie, so it was naturally impossible for him to take the low-cost route. What's more, even if it was a low-cost movie, it was not something that Ying and Paimon could handle.

They just don't have that ability.

After learning that there was a huge funding gap, Paimon looked at Saphir. She knew that Saphir must have money, so investing it would not be a big problem.

Saphir did have this idea, but this time, she needed to wait and see.

It is not impossible to inject capital, but one needs to be careful about the method. It is not impossible to directly deposit it into Xavier's personal account, but the question is, how to do this?

It would be fine to go from the Teahouse on the Rock or the Moonlight Tavern, but the problem is that doing so may not necessarily solve Xavier's current problem.

He thought his problem was financial, but Safire saw clearly that he was being suppressed, so money could only help to a limited extent.

If the investment is announced in Safire's external capacity, it can indeed avoid Xavier being suppressed. However, this will also bring up a new problem: what will be the investor's reaction after learning the news?

Should I just stop and give up or lie low and wait for the next opportunity?

Safire doesn't intend to be on guard against similar things when she starts to touch this circle. Just because the other party doesn't dare to touch her doesn't mean they won't touch Xavier.

When those people are pushed into a corner, they can do anything, including assassinations, fighting, intimidation and threats. If Xavier is not careful and is silenced, it will also be a loss for Saphir.

So, Saphir simply ignored Paimon's pleading look and watched the situation develop.

Qianzhi didn't know whether it was because she was talking without any pain in her waist or because she was open-minded, she said calmly: "Forget it, there is nothing we can do about what has happened, but now is not the time to give up."

"Eh? Could it be that... Chizhi, do you have any solution?" A glimmer of hope ignited in Xavier's eyes.

Qianzhi shook her head: "That's not what I meant. I just said that there is still room for discussion. After all, the actor I recommended pays more attention to other things than Mora."

After saying that, she continued to cross her arms and waited patiently.

The others didn't understand what was going on, but they had no solution, so they waited with her.

After a while, the patrol ship finally arrived. After docking, three familiar figures walked down from the ship. They were Kamisato Ayaka, Kamisato Ayano and Naganohara Yoshomiya who came from Inazuma.

Qianzhi stepped forward to greet him: "Welcome to Fontaine."

"Ms. Chiori, you have changed so much. This is the first time we have met since you left Inazuma." Kamisato Ayaka, who was wearing Fontaine-style clothing, had surprise in her eyes and was a little afraid to recognize the friend in front of her.

Qianzhi shook her head and said, "I didn't expect that such a long time had passed. I left in a hurry and didn't even say goodbye to you.

Come to think of it, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with this Miss Dark Priest."

She turned the conversation to Safire, who was leaning nearby.

Kamisato Ayaka and her group immediately discovered each other.

"I was just wondering why I didn't see you. It turns out you were hiding." Kamisato Ayaka chuckled and looked at Saphir, with a hint of teasing in her tone.

Saphir glanced at the young lady calmly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Kamisato."

"Ahem..." Kamisato Ayaka turned her face away immediately. She knew her limits. It was okay to make a few jokes when meeting someone, but saying more would attract hatred.

She has always been very skilled in controlling Saphir's hatred and leading her towards Ying and Yae Shenzi, so that she can hide beautifully. This time Ying and the others didn't come, so she can't jump around, otherwise, if something happens, no one will be able to help her.

Kamisato Ayato exchanged pleasantries with Xavier: "Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Xavier. I am looking forward to what I will gain from this trip to Fontaine."

"It's my honor to have Mr. Kamisato here." Xavier was flattered and bowed repeatedly.

After all, as someone who has stayed in Inazuma for a long enough time, he naturally knows what a transcendent status the current society bugyo has in Inazuma. It is no exaggeration to say that he is second only to the one and above everyone else.

Little Paimon was shocked at this time, staring at Xavier who was very humble, "Xavier, the actors you mentioned, are they them?"

As soon as the little girl spoke, Kamisato Ayaka immediately noticed the two of them. Just now, Ying and Paimon were bored waiting, so they ran to check the timetable and did not show up immediately, so Kamisato Ayaka just saw them.

Seeing Ying and little Paimon were there, Kamisato Ayaka was a little panicked: "Huh? Ying and Paimon!"

Xiao Gong, who was following behind Kamisato Ayaka, also exclaimed: "Wow! What a coincidence! Ayaka and I were talking about you guys on the way! Are you guys here to take photos of Yingying as well?"

"We ran into Xavier at the venue, so we followed him here." Little Paimon said honestly. She really wasn't here for the photo shoot, so there was no need to lie.

Hearing Paimon's words, Xiao Gong laughed: "Haha, I'm not an actor either. Kamisato and Ayaka are, and they're the main actors! I'm just taking advantage of Ayaka and tagging along to have some fun."

After hearing what Xiao Gong said, Ying pretended to be depressed: "I thought I was the eternal female lead..."

She has worked with Inazuma and Xavier and shot several Shadow films, and has always been treated as a leading lady.

Xavier immediately began to defend himself: "Isn't it that... I couldn't contact you at all when I was preparing for Yingying? I thought you might be busy with your own affairs and didn't want to disturb you..."

When he spoke, his face was full of grievance, as if he had suffered a great injustice: "So, in this film, I can only keep you in my heart and find someone else to play the number one actor first."

As he spoke, he glanced at Kamisato Ayaka. Obviously, the other person he was looking for was Kamisato Ayaka.

"On the way to Fontaine, I thought for a long time about how to meet you and give you a surprise. Unexpectedly, you guys got there first." Kamisato Ayaka was much more dignified when facing Ying, completely different from when she faced Saphir.

Hearing this, Saphir immediately became unhappy: "You created a surprise for her and asked me to pick her up at the airport. Sure enough, love or not is actually very obvious, and you can tell at a glance."

As she spoke, she even pretended to wipe away her tears, as if she was an innocent girl who was betrayed by a scumbag.

This attitude of hers, coupled with her seemingly harmless appearance, can really deceive a large number of people. It's a pity that the people here all know that she was born in the year of the dog. In terms of being an inhuman, the only one who can compete with her among Quan Daozu is the Eightfold Son of God.

Kamisato Ayaka was a little panicked at the moment. It was not that she was worried about Saphir, but she really didn't know how to respond to such accusations.

Fortunately, Kamisato Ayato is here and he can help his sister out.

Ever since he met Saphir, Kamisato Ayato has been keeping an eye on her, so he quickly caught the details that no one else noticed.

He changed the subject and said, "Lord Saphir seems to have changed a lot."

"Hmm? Why do you think so?" Saphir was slightly stunned, not knowing why Kamisato Ayato said that.

Kamisato Ayato shook his head: "I don't remember you ever having a pair of different-colored eyes."

"What?" Kamisato Ayaka was startled and immediately looked carefully into Saphir's eyes.

In fact, Safir also knew that his eyes were a little weird, so he wore colored contact lenses on purpose. If you didn’t look carefully, you couldn’t tell the difference.

But unexpectedly, Kamisato Ayato still noticed it, and used it to help her sister out and change the subject.

After careful observation, Kamisato Ayaka also noticed this and immediately showed a worried look: "Why did your eyes become like this? Is there really nothing wrong?"

Seeing that she seemed to be really worried about him, Saphir waved his hands quickly: "Oh, it's okay, it was an accidental whisper, an accident..."

“I heard from Master Kitsaigong that you suffered a great blow this time.

So I thought, since I’m here, I might as well play with you. I really didn’t mean to not create a surprise atmosphere, it’s just… I don’t have much confidence that I can find you…” Sincerity is the eternal killer move. Even though Kamisato Ayato changed the subject, Kamisato Ayaka seemed to be blessed and hit a beautiful straight ball.

After saying this, even Safir was embarrassed to say anything. The little girl hadn't done anything wrong, and it would be inappropriate to continue to be aggressive.

Until now, Xavier, who didn't understand the atmosphere, came to his senses belatedly: "Huh? You all... know each other? This is such a coincidence! It's really not easy for us to meet again.

How about this, we move to the Debo Hotel and eat and chat. I have reserved a seat as well. ”

"Huh? Do we have a share?" Paimon was surprised. He didn't expect Xavier to be so well prepared.

Xavier laughed: "Of course, of course! I will ask the boss to serve more delicious dishes."

Although he said he had no money, that was only relative to the cost of filming Yingying. He still had some money to treat people to dinner.

Kamisato Ayato nodded slightly: "Then Mr. Lauzever will lead the way."

He wanted to leave here quickly because the atmosphere just now was too weird.

Safir also thought it was a good idea. It was indeed getting late and it was time for dinner, so they should go eat something. So, the group walked towards the Debo Hotel in a mighty manner.

When they reached the entrance, Xiao Gong couldn't help but exclaim once again: "Wow! The buildings in Fontaine are so tall and big!"

"And there's the fountain that Abel mentioned. It looks very exquisite and gorgeous." Kamisato Ayaka's attention was on the fountain in the square. The fountain in the square of Fontaine was indeed a rare sight.

Looking at the huge fountain, Xiao Gong was very curious: "How does the big ball in the middle rotate? Is it a clockwork mechanism?"

"Almost. Fontaine's energy output is not proportional to its consumption, so it can be understood that the country's energy is in an overflowing state. Although a while ago, due to some events, the energy accumulated over hundreds of years was exhausted at once.

But it consumes the stored energy and has no impact on the daily life of residents. Because energy is cheap, you can see many mechanical creations that rely on energy in Fontaine, which is also a unique scenery of Fontaine. "As a half-local, Saphir naturally took on the job of explaining.

This made Kamisato Ayato a little surprised: "Energy overflow? Is the energy in Fontaine so cheap?"

"In fact, energy is not cheap or not. It's just that the situation in Fontaine is different from that in other countries." Saphir knew what Kamisato Ayato was thinking. "But don't think about replicating this system. The original construction required the assistance of the Heart of God, so Inazuma no longer has this condition."

Hearing Saphir's words, Kamisato Ayato felt a little regretful. As a social minister, people's livelihood was a direction he paid close attention to. Seeing that such abundant energy could not be popularized, he felt a little complicated.

The Inazuma people are still in a relatively backward social system, and their industries have not been sufficiently developed, which is completely incomparable to Fontainebleau.

A few people chatted and laughed, and went to the second floor of the Debo Hotel for dinner. Although the meal was not expensive, it was rich and exquisite enough, and everyone was very satisfied.

Xiao Gong rubbed her bulging belly and clicked her tongue: "Is this the delicacy of Fontaine? The taste is really different from Inazuma. How should I put it, the cooking method is even more..." She scratched the back of her head, searching for adjectives in her mind.

Finally, she uttered this word: "Complex? The flavors are very layered!"

Xavier laughed, "Hahaha, when I first went to Inazuma, I found the food there too bland, and it took me some time to get used to it.

Lady Aurora should also have experienced this feeling, right?"

Saphir held a cup and shook it gently, nodding slightly: "The taste of food in each place is different. Fontaine pays more attention to seasoning, which is a bit similar to Liyue's Licai.

Since Inazuma is an island country, there is a lot of seafood, and the ingredients in the sea contain salt, so the people of Inazuma don’t like to add too many seasonings when cooking, which makes the dishes more like Liyue’s moon dishes.

These are habits that have been developed over a long period of time. They involve humanities and cannot be explained in a few words. "

"As expected of you, you always come up with words that are full of experience..." Ying opened her eyes wide and fell into self-doubt. She has traveled to several countries, so why can't she say such words?
