Soon, the designer they were waiting for arrived.
He was a somewhat thin foreign man, wearing a modified short black tuxedo, his hair was meticulously styled, and he wore a monocle that was said to be able to be pulled off only by the three-dimensional features of foreigners. Paired with a high, aquiline nose, he had a slightly melancholic air about him and didn't look like a fashion designer.
Liu Rulan stood up with a smile, greeted the person, and then introduced Xiao He: "This is designer Theodore. He used to be the main clothing designer for C and L brands. Now he has started his own studio and usually only handles work with brands."
"Hello, Mr. Theodore."
Xiao He immediately stood up obediently and greeted him.
Theodore was exceptionally aloof. Faced with their attempts to be friendly, he didn't say anything extra, but simply nodded slightly as if to acknowledge them. He then turned and gestured to his assistant to go to a small room to get the clothes out.
Despite Theodore's coldness, Liu Rulan still smiled and communicated with him in English about the costume design they had arranged before, and then shamelessly confirmed the details with him again.
Theodore would still give her half-hearted answers, but more often he would scrutinize Xiao He from head to toe critically, then turn to his assistant and say something in French.
Xiao He vaguely heard the other party instructing his assistant to modify his accessories.
He raised an eyebrow slightly.
Seemingly surprised that Xiao He could understand, Theodore and his assistant didn't talk behind their backs, so Xiao He could openly listen to their conversation, which actually made him feel a little more at ease.
Although Theodore seemed difficult to talk to and had a cold attitude, he at least did not express any discrimination or prejudice against them in his words. He used very polite language, and the content of his discussions with his assistant was mostly about some adjustments to the styling and clothing design after meeting him in person. He was obviously taking it seriously.
Xiao He quite liked this official and businesslike attitude.
So when they came out of the studio, both Xiao He and Liu Rulan had satisfied expressions on their faces.

The next day, Xiao He and Liu Rulan landed in Cannes with their team.
Cannes is a small city located on the Mediterranean coast in southeastern France. It has a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine all year round, lush vegetation, beautiful scenery, and a rich historical and cultural heritage. It is world-famous for the Cannes Film Festival.
At this time of year, the area is filled with a dazzling and lively atmosphere, and even the palm trees lining the seaside promenade seem to come alive. Many travelers and pedestrians are dressed in fashionable and elegant attire, and the film festival's logos are displayed everywhere along the road. The traffic is also bustling with luxury cars and supercars, whose powerful exhaust pipes can be heard frequently as they speed past.
When Xiao He arrived at the hotel near the event, he realized that it was a true gathering of heroes.
Every ten steps you see a top-tier director, every five steps a Hollywood star, and at the very least, an internationally renowned model or singer—it's dazzling.
Ning Jiaqi is nearing retirement age. He has his own famous works, and although he is now focused on box office success, he was a prominent figure in his early years and still enjoys international recognition.
After standing there for only a short while, people started coming up to greet Ning Jiaqi, and Xiao He could also hear people around him talking about him and their film crew in foreign languages from time to time.
Xiao He observed for a while and found that most of these people were of Asian appearance, and they could tell from their accents that they were from several neighboring countries.
