Chapter 311: A Deep Impression

Joseph owed Eric a lot. If it weren't for Eric, Joseph wouldn't have this success today.

Eric asked Joseph for help, saying that he needed a Chinese actress to be the protagonist of Joseph's new film.

Joseph thought Eric had an actress as his sugar baby as most wealthy men did, and now Eric was going to give her a leg up.

Joseph felt disgusted by that, and he rejected Eric's request.

But Eric did not give up. He told Joseph that this Chinese actress would impact Cardicra's image.

This role was crucial to him, and Eric hoped Joseph could lend him a hand as repayment for Eric's help back then.

When Eric brought up the past, Joseph could only agree to his request.

He had already started to talk with his partner on modifying the female protagonist to keep the essence of the film.

When Joseph's partner knew he would hire a Chinese actress as the female protagonist, he almost broke the partnership with Joseph.

It took Joseph a long while to convince his partner to change the protagnoist.

He poured many efforts into this. In the end, he only needed Eric to bring the actress to him.

But he was informed by Eric that Yun Xiangxiang did not choose him.

Eric could see Joseph's reluctance. That was why he prepared two choices while Yun Xiangxiang chose the latter.

Joseph was one of the directors at the top of the filming world.

If any film had his name on it, investors and actors would come in droves.

Almost nobody could order him around in his films. He was the absolute authority in his every film.

Since he became famous, nobody had ever rejected him until today. Today, he was rejected by a no-name Chinese actress.

If this news were to be heard by those old gits in Hollywood, Joseph would be their laughing stock.

Joseph was now more curious about Yun Xiangxiang, as they had started changing the script.

"May I know why you rejected to playing in my film?" Joseph wasn't a diplomatic person.

When they arrived at the café, Joseph blurted this question out before he even ordered a cup of coffee.

He looked up on Yun Xiangxiang and even went to watch the films she played in.

To Joseph, Yun Xiangxiang's acting skills were just average. Their country had tons of actors who were better than her.

No matter how he looked at it, Yun Xiangxiang shouldn't be able to refuse him. That was why he had to get to the bottom of this himself.

Yun Xiangxiang did not answer him immediately. Instead, she politely took over the menu from the waiter and ordered her favorite drink. She smiled at Joseph, "What are you having?"

"A cup of long black, no sugar, and add some foam. Thank you." Joseph handed the menu back to the waiter.

After the waiter had gone to prepare their drinks, Joseph continued, "Can you answer my question now?"

Yun Xiangxiang smiled at Joseph. "I love the book "Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau." You must have read it before, Mr. Joseph."

"Of course." Joseph nodded.

"I think "Confessions" is a confession book of the soul. Jean-Jacques Rousseau even wrote about when he was a thief, the time he abandoned his best friend, and the time when he framed someone." Yun Xiangxiang continued.
