Niall brought Violeta to the dinner.

Upon seeing Violeta for the first time, Stanley gave her a once-over and greeted her politely.

Niall introduced them, "This is my sister, Vio. Vio, this is Mr. Stanley."

Violeta smiled and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Stanley."

Stanley, with his high emotional intelligence, responded, "Oh, con, no need for 'Mr. Stanley." Just call me

Stan. Let's sit down and chat."

Once they sat down, the waiter began serving the food.

When Niall introduced Violeta as his sister earlier, Stanley was puzzled since he hadn't heard of Niall having a

sister. He wondered if Niall meant something else.

To clarify and avoid any misunderstanding, Niall introduced Violeta again more formally once they sat down.

"Stan, this is my little sister, Violeta."

This time, Stanley understood completely.

During the meal, the conversation shifted to recent investments, and Violeta sat quietly, not saying a word.

Finally, Niall brought up the topic, "Stan, do you need more funding for your next film?"

Stanley replied, "Mr. White, to be honest, we are still a bit short on funds. Are you interested?"

Niall smiled slightly, "Violeta is

studying acting, and she's my only sister. | want to give her good opportunities. Seeing her struggle would worry

our parents. You have a wide network in the industry so I'd appreciate it if you could look after her."

Stanley responded, "Of course. Ms. White has excellent qualities, and with her background in acting, she

certainly has a bright future. If she's interested, | have a trilogy project coming up that she could audition for

Niall asked, "Can you tell us more about the details?"

Stanley then explained the entire trilogy of Blind Detective, including the directors, the script development, and

more.

Violeta, in her previous life, never had such a great opportunity to understand a project's early stages from an

investor's perspective. The reality of the industry was clear: even the glamorous producers on the film set had to

humble themselves in front of the big investors.

Money truly makes the world go round, a fact Violeta was well aware of.

Niall didn't explicitly say he wanted

Violeta to be part of Blind Detective. Violeta didn't show much interest either. After Stanley finished his

introduction, Violeta smiled and said she would consider it and would go through the audition process if she liked

the role.

In terms of appearance, Violeta was qualified.

Stanley, having seen countless faces in the industry, was used to beautiful people.

A pretty face might be rare in the ordinary world, but in the entertainment industry, it was just a ticket to enter.

What was truly scarce were resources, connections, and power.

If Niall had bluntly asked Stanley to cast Violeta as the lead, Stanley might have found it difficult but wouldn't

outright refuse.

Yet, Niall didn't say it directly, and Violeta didn't act overly interested either.
