Xiang Ni arrived at the living room to see Xi Wang and a man was sat on opposite sofas facing each another. Xiang Ni saw that Ming Zhen have introduce the man to Xi Wang and vice versa. From that introduction, Xiang Ni knew that the man was the famous international director, Ang Hong and he was introduce here via Ming Zhen elder brother.

"sorry for disturbing you early in the morning but I am quite urgent. So that is why I choose to disturb you so early despite I knew that you have just recovered and came home from the hospital. I may have a strange request to ask of you" Ang Hong said while slowly sipping the cup of tea that he was holding. The tightly clenched hands around the cup holder betray the director anxious feelings.

"to me director Ang, you are Ming Zhen's uncle. So, you are also my uncle since I have already adopted her as my goddaughter. So do not worry about anything and just state your request." Xi Wang politely replied.

"I pushed the start of the production of this drama in hopes that you will recover as you are my mind best person for the leading actress of this drama series. And I hope you will agree to my request to act as the leading actress of this drama. Luckily, heaven answer my prayers and here you sit. This is the overall script for the leading actress of the drama series that I intend to produce. This drama series is dear to my heart as it is the story of an ancestor that I deeply respect. It is the story of the famous female general of C country, Ma Mulan. Although it is thick face of me, but here is also the agreement that I prepared for your signature just in case I got the luck that you will agree to accept the role today." Ang Hong said.

"the story of Ma Mulan. And you as the director of this drama series. Do not worry. I agree. In fact, director Ang, you are even helping me, as I also have intentions of going into this field anyway. And here you give me a role. And some more it is as a leading actress. Which newbie actress will get such a meaty role as her first role?" Xi Wang politely replied while glancing through the thick agreement with ten lines at one glance and signing it when she found there was no issue with the agreement before handing it over to director Ang.

Director Ang and Xi Wang stood up and shook their hands with Xi Wang mentioning for director ang to stay for lunch while they continue discussing the details of her role. Director Ang agree and they proceed to the dining table where lunch was already prepared. The whole family dig through lunch while Xi Wang and Director Ang continue their discussion.

Xi Wang asked "director ang, when will you want me to report for duty at the set?"

Director Ang replied "there is no need to call me director ang so formally. You could also call me uncle ang like what Ming Zhen is calling me. in fact, you could for duty three days later at Heng studios in C country. I have already prepared for everything and just waiting for you to agree before I start shooting. Is three days enough for you to prepare, Xi Wang?"

"three days will be fully enough. Do not worry, Uncle Ang. I will report for duty on time at the set". Xi Wang replied.

By this time, they have finished lunch and finish their discussion. So, Director Ang happily left while holding the agreement in hand.
