Hello Mr. King

Chapter 48



Old Man Min looked at this woman with clear eyes, who was stubborn and yet persistent against him.

Compared to his successor which he had groomed personally at such an age, her aura, her motivation, and her calmness did not pale in comparison.

Yun Xiangxiang allowed Old Man Min to assess her. She was not even afraid of death, what else could scare her?

“Grandpa, can we eat already?” Min Yankai’s voice rang from the outside.

“Alright, respect your own wishes.” Old Man Min stood up. “Come, let’s eat.”

Old Man Min was already seventy years old. Although his bones and body were still very strong, he still held a walking cane. When Yun Xiangxiang saw it, she instinctively went ahead to hold him by the arm.

Old Man Min raised his brows, but he did not refuse.

As Min Yankai pushed the door open, he was a little baffled by the scene but immediately recovered. Yun Xiangxiang refrain from looking at Min Yankai out of courtesy, so she did not catch his change of facial expression.

When the people downstairs saw Yun Xiangxiang holding Old Man Min by the hand, everyone’s facial expression changed. The gaze they used to stare at her also changed drastically.

After greeting each and every person, Old Man Min sat down first before others sat down. There were many courtesies in a big family.

The Min Family was a famous family with a huge population. Although his wife had passed away, Old Man Min never married another woman, as he held sentimental feelings towards his deceased wife. However, he had three sons and two daughters, all of who had their own family by now. Han Jing introduced everyone who was present, but that only made up one-third of the family’s population.

When they were eating, Old Man Min also asked Yun Xiangxiang about her food preference, and introduced the family chief’s best dishes to her.

This caused everyone to stare at her occasionally in a secret manner. Luckily, Old Man Min did not go overboard, which allowed her to enjoy her meal peacefully.

After dinner, Old Man Min’s son seemed to have some matters to discuss with him, and they all went to his study room. Yun Xiangxiang, however, was surrounded by the ladies.

These ladies from the Min Family was different from those imagined by others which possessed a prideful atmosphere around them. Instead, they were all very well-mannered, and did not look down on Yun Xiangxiang even though she was an entertainer.

They were also not eager to curry her favour just because of the way Old Man Min treated her. They were all very polite, and did not cross any boundaries when conversing with each other. Yun Xiangxiang did not feel any sense of discomfort while talking to them.

Maybe this was how an actual famous big family should act.

After talking for around an hour or so, Yun Xiangxiang stood up to greet them farewell.

At this time, Min Yankai came downstairs while holding a drawing scroll and a can of tea leaves. He then handed it over to her. “Miss Yun, these are grandfather’s gifts for you.”

When the eldest wife saw this scene, her gaze were fixated onto Yun Xiangxiang, and her smile became much more friendlier, “Since Sister Yun is filming in Hong Kong, do find me next time if you are free.”

“I will come for sure if I have the chance.” Yun Xiangxiang answered politely.

The whole family sent her off to the front gate enthusiastically. When they sat in the car, Han Jing asked, “What did you do for this old man like you so much? He could not even bear to give my grandfather this Darjeeling Tea in SFTGFOP grade [1].”

“Darjeeling Tea in SFTGFOP grade [1]?” Yun Xiangxiang was a little shocked, “You’re talking about that can of tea?”

“That’s right. These tea leaves have practically no market even if you have the money to offer. Whenever it was being auctioned, Old Man Min would always snatch away the highest quality ones. Thanks to this, him and my grandfather argued a lot.” Han Jing thought and chuckled.

Yun Xiangxiang did not expect Old Man Min to gift her such precious tea.

Min Family’s tea was definitely not some low-grade tea. She only accepted it because she liked it, and did not want to go against her heart and reject it.

Secondly, she also hoped that the entanglement between Old Man Min and herself would finally be settled. She did not want to let him feel as if he owed her something.

“Let me see what kind of painting this old man gave you.” Han Jing took the drawing scroll over, expecting a painting to be inside.

However, it was not a drawing, but a sentence in calligraphy. On it wrote: “Elegance and Intelligence.”

Han Jing took a deep breath, “This is the old man’s personal calligraphy.”

“Oh.” Yun Xiangxiang was afraid that it would be the drawing she saw in the study room which worth hundreds of millions. Her hand would definitely tremble.

Fortunately, the old man just praised her and gave her these words.

This reaction caused Han Jing which was usually calm and collected to lose her calm. “Oh? Do you know what this means?”

“Min Lao’s calligraphy is worth a lot of money?”

It wouldn’t be more expensive than Huang BinHong’s art, right? Her heart couldn’t take it.

“How did you become so materialistic? Only you would want to sell the calligraphy written by Old Man Min. This was supposed to be a promise.”

Han Jing scorned her, “Old Man Min has a habit of gifting others words as a form of promise. You must keep this calligraphy nicely. When you meet something which might cause you danger, bring this calligraphy to the Min Family. Old Man Min will fulfill one of your wishes.”

“You should know that in the whole of China, those who were gifted calligraphy by Old Man Min number maybe fewer than five. With this, you can practically walk around Hong Kong without worrying about anything.”

Yun Xiangxiang really didn’t know that Old Man Min had such a rule. No wonder everyone was so enthusiastic when they left. She was a VIP.

This calligraphy was really nice. She decided to just keep it, and hope that she won’t be using it in the future.

Seeing how Yun Xiangxiang was not excited by this, Han Jing was a little impressed by her. If she was the one getting the calligraphy, she would definitely be unable to contain her excitement. This girl really didn’t think anything of it.

It wasn’t that Yun Xiangxiang was very calm, it was just that she did not want anything from Old Man Min or the Min Family. She knew that since they were people of different levels, they wouldn’t have any deep entanglement with each other.

As for her future, she preferred to settle her own problems herself.

Just like how she signed a contract with Huan Yu Century Entertainment without needing to lean on her connection with Han Jing to walk the shortcut.

However, there were still benefits from Old Man Min appearing. She didn’t have to worry about The Era of Stars spreading bad rumours or talking behind her back anymore.

Huan Yu Century Entertainment’s efficiency was very high.The next day, He Shen went to find her in order to sign the contract. From that day onwards, she officially became an entertainer under Huan Yu Century Entertainment.

On that day, in order to show how important Yun Xiangxiang was, the Weibo account of Huan Yu Century Entertainment released the news. After they announced it, both international movie superstars Li Man and Xue Yu followed Yun Xiangxiang on weibo, and posted on their weibo as well.

[Li Man V: Welcome, Little Princess @Yun Xiangxiang]

[Xue Yu V: Let me introduce my junior @Yun Xiangxiang]

The post of these two almost caused the whole weibo system to go down. Li Man was an international professional, and while she did not have a billion fans, her position was still so high that most actors could never catch up with her.

Xue Yu was even worse. He was only thirty five years old, he was already a myth in the entertainment circle. Everyone would call him “God Xue”. It was easy to see how high his position was in the entertainment industry.

He even caused the trend of new language of “Let me introduce, my XX” to become famous very quickly. It was apparent that how large Xue Yu’s influence was.

Unlike Li Man, Xue Yu called Yun Xiangxiang his junior. That meant that both of them would have the same manager!

Xue Yu’s manager was one of the most badass people in Huan Yu Century Entertainment, even having rejected becoming Li Man’s manager....

All of a sudden, Yun Xiangxiang became the most searched person on Weibo. The topic was #GodXue’sJunior#.
