"When Mr. Lin expressed his concerns about the prospects of the international market, it was Your Excellency who took the initiative to show sincerity and wanted to appease Mr. Lin's anxiety through actions, right?"
Qiao Sen felt that something was off about what was being said, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he could only nod and say, "That's true."
"If that's the case, what about your sincerity? Have you demonstrated it?"
Chen Bin abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming questioning.
"I was planning to sign the agreement with Mr. Lin and then immediately return to China to handle this matter."
Johnson was puzzled. After all that, it was just for this?!
"That's the problem."
"What's the problem?"
Qiao Sen was puzzled.
"Regarding the promotion of 'The Legend of 1900,' your original intention was to demonstrate the strength of Luo Kingdom to Mr. Lin, and it was not a transaction, right?"
Johnson's eyes widened.
He instinctively wanted to deny it, but seeing the ugly expressions on Lin Rui and Chen Bin's faces, the words he wanted to blurt out stuck in his throat.
Given the circumstances at the time, although it differed from his original intention, it was indeed the case from a factual perspective.
Seeing that Qiao Sen remained silent, Chen Bin continued, "So, since you suddenly brought up the agreement, can I interpret this as you being prepared to renege on your promise?"
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
Qiao Sen could no longer sit still and quickly stood up, waving his hands: "This is absolutely a misunderstanding, Mr. Lin, please believe me."
“My friend, of course I’m willing to believe you.”
Lin Rui smiled again: "I also look forward to 'The Legend of 1900' gaining international recognition."
"Rest assured, I can guarantee that 'The Legend of 1900' will be a huge success!"
Johnson nodded quickly, then asked, "Regarding the agreement...when shall we sign it?"
Lin Rui's expression changed again, and he became completely serious: "Brother Chen, see the guest out."
"Mr. Johnson, please."
Seeing Lin Rui turn hostile, Qiao Sen secretly cursed.
It was a kind of anger and embarrassment after being teased by others. Qiao Sen made the absurd discovery that he actually understood all the emotions in Lin Rui's eyes in that instant!
“Mr. Lin, it’s just an agreement. It’s good for me to go back and explain myself. That way, I can get the license to handle the film’s distribution.”
Qiao Sen did not leave, staring intently at Lin Rui's back.
Lin Rui said calmly, "Mr. Johnson, you are more sincere than Mr. Granger, and I would be very willing to be your friend. Unfortunately, you have disappointed me too much."
Qiao Sen didn't understand why Lin Rui's reaction was so strong.
"I don't understand what I did wrong?"
Qiao Sen was somewhat bewildered, and even a little angry. He felt that Lin Rui was making a mountain out of a molehill!
Faced with the questioning, Lin Rui remained silent.
In contrast, Chen Bin's expression also darkened.
“Mr. Qiao Sen, two hours ago you agreed to help promote ‘The Legend of 1900’, but two hours later you suddenly changed your mind and said that Mr. Lin needs to sign an agreement with you.”
"Mr. Lin always thought this was a helping hand between friends, which touched him deeply. He never expected that this friendly mutual assistance would turn into a transaction!"
"In Mr. Lin's opinion, you not only lack sincerity, but also integrity!"
"This agreement is inherently binding. Can I understand that, in your eyes, and even in the eyes of Luo Guo, Mr. Lin is a liar who doesn't keep his promises?"
"Can I still understand that your capricious behavior is mocking and insulting a master of the piano world?!"
Qiao Sen was speechless after Chen Bin's words. He opened his mouth to try to explain, but Chen Bin had no intention of giving him the chance.
"Furthermore, promoting 'The Legend of 1900' is, in itself, a trivial matter for Luo Guo."
"Mr. Kelin is going to become a distinguished guest of the Kingdom of Los Angeles, but he will have to bear the huge risk of damage to his reputation and interests, and may even lose everything!"
"Under such unequal conditions, you actually take it for granted that this is a fair deal. How can Mr. Lin believe in the sincerity of the people from Luo Kingdom?"
"Lacking sincerity and integrity, and even mocking and insulting a piano master, do you really think there's no problem with that?"
"Is this the attitude of the Kingdom of Luo?"
Chen Bin loudly questioned, "Just because Mr. Lin is from China? Or are you implying that China has no one to rely on?!"
