Hello Mr. King - Chapter 120

Chapter 120: Chapter 120 - Ambergris

Chapter 120: Ambergris

Her previous scripts were all modern films . There wasn’t much research on Yun Xiangxiang’s part .

The script for “The King’s Plan” was set in a time too far gone . Not to mention that it would be an on-the-spot recording too . She had to figure out what almost every single line was trying to portray .

She tried her best to blend herself into that era to imagine herself as the character and put herself into her shoes .

To see what kind of expression or mood should be shown when she was saying that line in that scene .

The feeling would differ every time she tried to figure it out . She wrote down her opinion on the sticky notes .

She also had to research the relevant materials when the scene cited real history to make it simpler to understand . It would also make it easy when they had to play with other actors .

It was fortunate that this was a film script . And a film that was dominated by males too . Yun Xiangxiang’s part only took up the middle part . She finished making all the notes in an afternoon’s worth of time .

She couldn’t help but recall the scripts for her TV dramas in her previous life . Sometimes there were seven to eight books of scripts for a single drama…

Yun Xiangxiang thought that her efficiency saw a dramatic increase especially when there was an intermission when her boyfriend served delicious snacks and fruit tea .

Song Mian had already started cooking when she was done with her work . Yun Xiangxiang went to wash her hands and then called Yun Lin over .

“Sister, you finally remembered your adorable little brother,” Yun Lin appeared in front of the door with Little Angel in his hands .

“Aiya, shouldn’t you thank me for letting you and Little Angel be together for so long?” Yun Xiangxiang pinched Yun Lin’s little face .

He better not think that she didn’t know that this little kid would have come knocking out of frustration if it wasn’t for Little Angel being there .

“Tosh . What I was doing was not letting Little Angel interrupt your lovey-dovey time,” said Yun Lin seriously . “You will never ever find another little brother as good as I am .

He really never let the chance to fight with Yun Ting go . Yun Xiangxiang pushed him inside feeling half amused, half annoyed . “Wash your hands fast . ”

Yun Lin consciously took Little Angel away after dinner . Yun Xiangxiang helped Song Mian with washing the dishes .

Song Mian made a cup of herbal tea for digestion and sat on a sofa . A folding table was sitting in front of him . He continued doing his work .

Yun Xiangxiang sat on the sofa with her back against Song Mian’s shoulder . She took the script in her hands and memorized the lines while figuring out the mood of the scene .

She went home at nine o’clock and told Coco and the others about her request of having them move before they left . She asked He Wei about his opinion on it, to which he replied that he would not interfere .

She then called Guan Zi to ask her whether or not she could come over to stay at her home . She agreed readily .

She then delegated the remaining task of welcoming Guan Zi and arranging a room for her to Coco .

Yun Xiangxiang, who was lying on her bed after practice, was pondering about the gift she should bring with her on her visit tomorrow .

She didn’t know that she would be visiting last time . Not only did she not prepare any gifts, she even took a pot of orchid from Mr . Song before she left .

This time, she would be visiting with a different status . She had to prepare some presents .

It would be redundant to give the Song Family any supplements . It would also be unnecessary to give them any food that wasn’t made by her own hands . She also didn’t know their preferences on necessities . They might probably be quite particular in their choice of food, clothing, and necessities .

The bored Yun Xiangxiang opened her WeChat contacts to find someone to discuss . She instead discovered that Li Xiangling had sent a message .

She said that a friend of hers wanted to sell a piece of ambergris . Buyers should private message them for the price .

She immediately called Li Xiangling, “Xiangling, is that friend of yours who’s selling ambergris trustworthy?”

“Absolutely . She’s my roommate . Her family makes spices,” Li Xiangling said to her . “I went to her house before . ”

“I saw the picture you sent . That ambergris of hers should be a wholly natural one . They shouldn’t face a shortage of buyers,” Yun Xiangxiang was puzzled .

“Some details in there are related to her family’s privacy . I can’t really tell you about that . But this piece of ambergris is absolutely safe,” Li Xiangling guaranteed it . “The quality is okay, and the source isn’t shady either . ”

“I trust you,” Li Xiangling was someone who did things steadily . She would do anything on a whim . The merchandise must have been sound if she dared to post it on her wall . “How much is she asking?”

“It weighs eight hundred and one grams in total . She’s asking for two thousand yuan for each gram . Round that down to eight hundred grams,” Li Xiangling answered .

It was slightly higher than the market price, but its quality seemed to be not too shabby . Besides, it was a rare merchandise that was about to get even rarer in the market .

“Can she send it over to me tonight?” Yun Xiangxiang enquired .

“Let me ask her,” Li Xiangling called her roommate over . “Send me your address,” she answered Yun Xiangxiang after two minutes . ”

“I’ll transfer the money to you first?” Yun Xiangxiang asked again .

“I discussed with with her just now . She’ll send the item to you first for you to check it . You can transfer the money if you find no problems with it . I’ll be the guarantor . ” Naturally, Li Xiangling would make more consideration for Yun Xiangxiang .

Yun Xiangxiang was moved, “Send your bank account details to me . ”

She could only make the transfer that involved this much money through online banking’s USBKey .

Yun Xiangxiang hung up and sent her address to Li Xiangling .

Li XIangling replied: [Just give the address of the entrance, Xiangxiang . I can say that the buyer’s my friend, but how many of my friends can afford this? A lot of people would be able to guess that it’s you . You’ll expose your address too easily . I’ll ask the courier to call Sister Qian when they arrive later . You can ask Sister Qian to take it . ]

Yun Xiangxiang was a public figure now . Countless people wanted to know her address, and the courier was her classmate’s relative .

Li Xiangling might be able to guarantee that her classmate wouldn’t say anything, but she couldn’t say the same for everyone else . She didn’t want to cause trouble to Yun Xiangxiang .

[Okay, thank you, Xiangling . ]

Yun Xiangxiang immediately notified Song Qian of this matter . She looked at the time and found out that it was only ten after ten . Song Qian received the call after they waited for about fifty minutes . She then texted Song Mian .

[Are you asleep?]

[Just laid down . ]

[Wait ten minutes for me . I need you to help me examine something . ]

[I’ll go down . ]

Song Mian appeared in front of Yun Xiangxiang in pajamas, “What’s the matter?”

“I just bought a piece of ambergris . Don’t know whether it’s authentic or not . Help me examine it,” Yun Xiangxiang said smilingly .

Ambergris wasn’t just an ancient spice . It was also a traditional Chinese medicinal ingredient . She believed that Song Mian must know it .

“Girlfriend, I’m jealous,” Song Mian said suddenly . “You didn’t even prepare any gifts for me yet . ”

She bought it so hurriedly at this hour . Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t interested in spices either . Who else would the gift be if not for the old fogey they were going to visit tomorrow?

“I will definitely make detailed preparations when it’s your birthday . It will be better than anyone else’s,” Yun Xiangxiang assured .

“It’s still a long way to my birthday,” Song Mian didn’t back off .

“New Year then . It can’t be sooner . Or else I’ll just forget it,” Yun Xiangxiang took a step back .

Only then did he smile and marched into her home .

It didn’t take long before Song Qian took a very classy looking box up and handed it to Song Mian directly .

He opened it; smelled it; took it for a couple of glances before asking, “How much did it cost?”

“I’m not telling,” Yun Xiangxiang made a face at Song Mian . It wasn’t customary to tell someone’s son about the price of the gift they were giving to their father .

Song Mian seemed to see through what she was thinking before saying, “It’s authentic . The appearance is great . It’s a steal if it’s below two million yuan . ”

Yun Xiangxiang instantly smiled until her eyes were narrow curves . She packed the item nicely, “Thank you, boyfriend . I won’t disturb your rest anymore . You can go now . ”
