Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Hu Xiaoxiao switched the tape to a youthful and energetic song called "YMCA," which was even more upbeat than the previous "Sha la la la."

"Young man, there's no need to feel down.

I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.

I said, young man, cause you're in a new town.

Theres no need to be unhappy.”

Hu Xiaoxiao's dance became even more lively and playful, full of energy, and her smile brightened with the music, filling the whole piece with sunshine.

"Young man, there's a place you can go.

I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.

You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find.

Many ways to have a good time…”

When the chorus started, Hu Xiaoxiao let loose, jumping and spinning around to the beat of the music—

"It's fun to stay at the YMCA.

It's fun to stay at the YMCA.

They have everything for you men to enjoy,

You can hang out with all the boys."

Red 5-inch high heels are usually inconvenient for most people to walk in, but on Hu Xiaoxiao's feet, they make walking feel like walking on flat ground. When she jumps, her movements are natural and smooth, making her legs look even longer, whiter, and straighter.

"It's fun to stay at the YMCA.

It's fun to stay at the YMCA.

You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal,

You can do whatever you feel…”

Red high heels, a red dress, Hu Xiaoxiao's bright smile, and her passionate dance moves—even though there was no light in the room, the audience seemed to see light shining on her at that moment.

Radiant with youthful energy, the girl's cheerful and lively spirit was on full display at this moment.

At that moment, the judges were completely captivated by the girl before them, their hearts and minds leaping with the rhythm, their bodies swaying with her dance.

As the music and dance came to an end, Hu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and bowed slightly to the judges. "Thank you, thank you for your appreciation. You have all worked hard. I hope to reward you with a short dance."

The judges unanimously applauded.

Even Linda had to admit, "I think you're very suited for a career in dance; you'll definitely bring a huge surprise to the audience..."

Hu Xiaoxiao said confidently, "Who says I can't do both?"

Linda was speechless; she had almost forgotten that the person in front of her didn't know much about humility.

Charlie clapped the loudest. After he finished, he said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Ms. Hu, I can announce on behalf of the other judges that you have successfully entered the semi-finals."

Normally, after an interview, you wait for a notification. But we can announce directly that Ms. Hu will report to the semi-finals on the 20th.

The other judges had no objection to Charlie's words, and even Linda did not say anything was improper.

If a contestant with such talent, beauty, and youth cannot even make it to the semi-finals or the finals, she would suspect that there might be something fishy going on.

After watching Hu Xiaoxiao leave and closing the door, Linda turned her gaze to Charlie. "You want to sign her?"

Charlie shrugged and said, "Can't we? We didn't have to go through all this trouble as judges, but we put aside our work to do this hard job, all to find good talent."

Given Charlie and Linda's status, even if they were to serve as judges, they would have to be there in the semi-finals. However, they chose to come early to look for promising talents, which shows that the competition within the TV station is extremely fierce.

Linda replied, "You can't keep such a beautiful woman."

Charlie laughed and said, "I know you're jealous of me."

As Hu Xiaoxiao emerged from the interview room, she faced another beauty, also dressed in a red dress and sporting long, wavy hair.

This is the next contestant to be interviewed; she is also very beautiful.

"Ms. Zhao Yanhong, please wait a moment, it's your turn next," Fei said to her, holding the file.

"You can just call me Lily." After saying this to Fei Yi, Zhao Yanhong turned to Hu Xiaoxiao and asked with a smile, "What should I call this lady?"

"My surname is Hu, just call me Miss Hu. I don't have an English name," Hu Xiaoxiao said.

Zhao Yanhong's eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "How come you don't have an English name? That's such a shame. How about I help you choose one?"

"No need, I think my Chinese name sounds pretty good."

"I just heard the judges applauding. Ms. Hu, could you tell me what performance you gave that the judges liked so much?"

Although the other person had a smile on their face, Hu Xiaoxiao still sensed a strong hostility from them.

Hu Xiaoxiao brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and winked at Zhao Yanhong, "Guess?"

Zhao Yanhong almost lost her smile. "I didn't expect that, that's why I came to ask you."

"You'll find out when we go in."

After saying that, Hu Xiaoxiao grabbed her bag and walked away with a swaying gait.

Zhao Yanhong stared at Hu Xiaoxiao's exceptionally alluring back, her face already darkening. She muttered under her breath: "You damned hag, you vixen!"

"Miss Lily, it's your turn." After knocking on the door three times, Faye turned around and said to Zhao Yanhong.

Zhao Yanhong immediately put on a bright smile and walked in with her head held high.

After passing another level, Hu Xiaoxiao rewarded herself with three chickens again.

After a good night's rest, when she went to have breakfast the next day, the magazines and newspapers she had ordered had been delivered.

Pick up the magazine on top; the cover features gossip about this year's Miss Hong Kong pageant.

Upon seeing the title, Hu Xiaoxiao almost choked on her water.

Beauty and the Beast: A Black Boar Demon Infiltrates the Land of Women

The headline was extremely eye-catching, and the accompanying photo was taken from the worst angle of the contestant, showing her with an uncontrolled expression.

Furthermore, the location of the contestant's buck teeth was magnified into a close-up, circled in red, and placed right in the center.

Hu Xiaoxiao had seen this beauty before; she was one of the several beauties interviewed by reporters before she joined the TV station.

Hu Xiaoxiao remembers that the beauty was very pretty, with only a slight overbite that was barely noticeable unless you looked closely, and was even a little cute.

However, the reporter's photos focused on the unsightly parts, even exaggerating the flaws by zooming in for close-ups.

Readers who have never seen her in person might imagine from this gossip magazine that the beauty is so ugly that she is considered extremely ugly.

Hu Xiaoxiao patted her chest. These paparazzi reporters are too ruthless!

Next, she looked through other magazines and newspapers. Almost every magazine and newspaper had news about the Miss Hong Kong pageant, and the headlines of each one were very exaggerated, even sensational.

The accompanying photos are all taken from unflattering angles, aiming to make them look as ugly as possible.

After reading it, Hu Xiaoxiao gained a preliminary understanding of the destructive power of paparazzi.

On the day the semi-finals began, the sky cleared and it was slightly warm.

Out of two hundred contestants, only one hundred were selected to advance to the semi-finals.

But only ninety-nine beauties actually arrived.

The reason one contestant is missing is because one of them withdrew from the competition.

That contestant was the poor thing who was called the "Black Pig Demon" by the gossip magazine. After seeing the magazine, she broke down and withdrew from the competition.
