Hello Mr. King

Chapter 54: New Script

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“I haven’t seen Almighty Xue for a few months. He seemed to be even more handsome. What should I do? I really want to get his signature!”

“Only Brother Wei can summon Almighty Xue here in the whole company. I didn’t think that they would come to the company today. The guy who wanted me to replace him today will cry his heart out tomorrow.”

“Look at the young lady standing by Almighty Xue and Brother Wei. She is so pretty.”

“That’s probably Yun Xiangxiang, who the general manager went to Hong Kong himself to sign a contract with. I watched “University Dream” too. However, the appearance of Yun Xiangxiang inside that movie was already made unclear. Didn’t think that she would also be so beautiful even in her natural state.”

“I passed by her just now. Her skin was so delicate and fair. No wonder Brother Wei took her himself. She must be in our team after this.”

The employees started their discussion after they went into the elevator. Yun Xiangxiang still heard some part of it. Yun Xiangxiang roughly knew their personalities even if there were some new faces. That was why she ignored it.

He Wei’s office was on the twenty-eighth floor. He Shen’s was on the twenty-ninth, and He Zhen was at the thirtieth.

He Wei took the script from his study once he reached his office. It was in a sealed bag. In other words, this script wasn’t open to the public yet. They didn’t even have time to prepare. Only the top management knew about this. However, they couldn’t take it away from the company. That meant that this wasn’t an everyday big production.

“Your senior will be the male protagonist in this film. This is the company’s choice.” He Wei handed the script over to Yun Xiangxiang. “So you can only work hard to get the female protagonist.”

Naturally with her and Xue Yu both being He Wei’s actor and actress would have its disadvantages. It was impossible to let He Wei have too much of a share in this kind of mega production. Nobody could eat the whole cake alone. Peace can only be attained when everyone’s had their fair share of benefits.

As for the company’s decision, naturally it was the right one to make. Her status couldn’t be compared to He Wei’s. A company is there to make profit. It isn’t a charity organisation.

They had to make sure that the risk was at its minimum every time they invested big sums of money. It was a huge capital after all. It would also affect the company’s performance, reputation, and their relationship with other partners.

He Wei still could contest a fighting chance for her even when Xue Yu was already confirmed as the male protagonist of this mega production. He must have worked hard for it. This was the capability of a super capable agent.

Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t be able to see the script for this film if Wen Lan were the agent.

This was a theme that was almost forgotten by people everywhere in the nation and overseas — master thief!

The female protagonist was a high school student who lived with her grandmother in the slums. Her father was a great thief. However, he slipped up in his work and was caught. The court decided that all his assets were stolen goods and so confiscated them. Her father died in the slammer.

Her father nurtured her since she was young until he passed away. Her mother died with regret. The mother held the female protagonist’s hand before she died and pleaded her to never become someone like her father.

That was why she kept this promise no matter how poor she was. However, the people around her would look at her with prejudice once they knew that she was the daughter of a thief.

Everyone still thought that she did the things which she obviously didn’t. Every time her identity as a thief’s daughter was known, it would mean that they had to move. Growing up under these circumstances turned her into a cold person.

Until she turned eighteen and was about to enrol into a university, she needed money as her elderly grandmother had fallen terribly ill.

Fortunately, her mother applied for an insurance plan for her grandmother that was due soon. She would work part time after her exam to sustain the plan at least until maturity. She would be able to take a break then.

At this moment, the person in charge of investigating the jewelry thief, Lu Zheng, met her secretly. It turned out that some valuable jewelry had been stolen. They had already locked onto someone. However, they had no evidence to point to the thief. That was why they decided to lay a trap. It was to use another valuable jewelry to bait this thief.

The band of thieves happened to need one more member. The cops hoped that Tiantian could be the spy that infiltrated the band of thieves. They were already observing and testing Tiantian in the dark numerous times. They were sure that Tiantian was able to handle this.

In exchange, they would pay a sum of money to her. She would also receive a medal after the case was resolved so that she could hold her head up high after that.

They were tempting conditions. However, Tiantian refused.

She promised her deceased mother that she would not walk the path her father did.

She wouldn’t budge no matter how the cops persuaded her. She didn’t agree to it even when someone threatened her into turning her into a persona non grata.

In the end, Lu Zheng’s girlfriend inadvertently stumbled upon Lu Zheng’s frustration. As the management staff of the insurance company, she approached Tiantian’s grandmother herself when Tiantian wasn’t home.

Nobody knew what she said to Tiantian’s grandmother. Tiantian’s grandmother, who was a simple old lady, killed herself by jumping off a building.

The voice recording kept her last word. The kind old lady thought that Tiantian would get the insurance company’s recompense after she died. She thought she could live a better life with that money.

What she didn’t know was that the recompense that was almost due would be only three hundred thousand yuan instead of the original three million due to her reason of death being suicide.

Lu Zheng had rigged the whole thing. Tiantian didn’t know that Lu Zheng’s girlfriend approached her grandmother before. Coincidentally, Tiantian’s uncle caused some trouble out there. The other party was only willing to let it go if they were paid five hundred thousand yuan.

Tiantian had no other choice but to finally seek out Lu Zheng.

She quickly got along with the band of thieves with the police’s arrangements. She was dumbfounded when she saw the face of the band’s boss. It was because he looked exactly like Lu Zheng. Except that he was disfigured. He was actually Lu Rong, Lu Zheng’s identical twin.

Lu Rong had three subordinates who had their own job. Not only did they steal China’s jewelry; some of their feats also included international ones.

Lu Rong seemed to think highly of Tiantian. He took her on several minor heists to test her out, until one jewelry show.

Tiantian was a smart girl. She noticed that Lu Rong actually had his guard up against her. She purposely drew Lu Zheng’s men to where she was during a collaboration with Lu Zheng to let Lu Rong and the others escape. She almost lost her life during that incident.

She didn’t expect Lu Rong to turn his back to save her. She dared to pull that off because she knew that she would be fine even if Lu Zheng captured her.

Her skullduggery managed to win Lu Rong’s trust, but she started to waver once she found out that her grandmother’s death might have had something to do with Lu Zheng.

Tiantian had utterly changed her heart after she found out that Lu Rong was sustaining a lot of orphanages while also giving large sums of money to charity funds every year.

Tiantian took Lu Rong’s side during Lu Zheng’s last scheme. She went into the blaze herself.

Lu Rong took the dazzling jewelry and fled to safety along with the others. However, she left a video for Lu Rong.

She actually already knew that Lu Rong was using her from the start. He used the paternal love that was missing from her life and the warmth she craved as a tool for counterespionage.

She still helped him fulfill his ambitions even if she already knew about it. It wasn’t because his plan was perfect. It was because he could grant abundance to more people.
