Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s
Chapter 133 A Gathering of Celebrities
Yao Wenlong didn't know what Hu Xiaoxiao was up to, but having cooperated with Hu Xiaoxiao so many times, he knew that Hu Xiaoxiao was a very reliable person. If she dared to say that, she must already have a plan.
Yao Wenlong immediately packed his things and left work early. When a colleague asked him about the script, he said, "It's finished. I'll go back and tidy it up a bit, and I can hand it in tomorrow."
“I thought you weren’t going to hand over the script,” the colleague said.
As a fellow screenwriter, I can best understand Yao Wenlong's feelings. Creating a good script often requires the right timing, location, and people; it's something that can't be forced.
You finally manage to write something, only to have it ruined. All your hard work ends up in a cesspool. Anyone would be furious in that situation.
Yao Wenlong simply smiled and did not answer the question. "I'll be at home this afternoon working on the script, so I won't be coming to the company."
Over here, Yao Wenlong packed his things to go home, while over there, Hu Xiaoxiao picked out a well-tailored dress from the closet, suitable for formal occasions, and changed into it.
After putting on her makeup, Hu Xiaoxiao put on a newly bought diamond necklace.
Then, carrying his bag, he drove to the art exhibition organized by the Hong Kong government.
This art exhibition, organized by the Hong Kong government, is not open to the public and is only open to the most elite members of Po Kong. It is an exchange activity between the Hong Kong government and the elite members of Po Hong Kong.
To promote friendship and enhance the Hong Kong government's friendly relations with the upper class, in layman's terms, it means maintaining relations with the wealthiest and most prestigious people in Hong Kong so that they can support the government's policies in the future and not oppose them, so that everyone can save face.
Because the VIPs attending the exhibition are all of very high status, ordinary people can't even get through the door.
At the same time, being able to enter this art exhibition also indicates that one already has a certain influence in high society.
Even the top male and female stars of Hong Kong Television were not qualified to participate in this art exhibition. However, Hu Xiaoxiao had another identity: a charity ambassador title granted by the Hong Kong government.
This title may seem insignificant at first glance, as it involves performing thankless and unpaid tasks. However, on certain occasions, this title represents the Hong Kong government's recognition of her.
For example, today's art exhibition is an event organized by the Hong Kong government, and Hu Xiaoxiao can barely get an admission ticket by using this title. Even if it's a bit of a stretch, it's often a threshold that many people can never cross in their entire lives.
Hu Xiaoxiao drove to the art exhibition, adjusted her makeup in front of the camera, looking beautiful without being glamorous, very appropriate, and dignified.
Hu Xiaoxiao opened the car door, handed the car keys to the valet, and entered the venue where the art exhibition was being held.
This is the most mysterious association in Baogang. It is never open to outsiders, and people who are not of high enough status do not even know which way the door opens.
The interior decor isn't as opulent or lavish as a hotel, but rather exudes understated luxury. Every item displayed here is either a work of art of extremely high artistic value or an antique worth astronomical sums.
As Hu Xiaoxiao walked in, her eyes first fell on the government officials standing at the door, among whom Mr. Shao Zhongchang from the Social Affairs Bureau was chatting with his colleagues.
Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and went over to greet Shao Zhongchang.
Her title as a charity ambassador was applied for with the help of Shao Zhongchang and Chairman Dou Yu, as the two were acquaintances.
"Miss Hu, what brings you here today?" Shao Zhongchang asked, somewhat surprised to see Hu Xiaoxiao.
There are too many big shots here today; he, the director of the social affairs bureau, is just here to do odd jobs.
Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I came to see if there's anything I can do to help Mr. Shao. If Mr. Shao needs anything, just ask, and I will definitely complete the task."
"Thank you for your kindness." Hu Xiaoxiao spoke kindly, and Shao Zhongchang was willing to give her more help. The funds Hu Xiaoxiao raised also helped him a lot, making his work much smoother. Perhaps in the future, there will be places where he'll need Hu Xiaoxiao's support.
So, Shao Zhongchang casually introduced a few of his colleagues to Hu Xiaoxiao.
Hu Xiaoxiao is a well-known figure in Hong Kong. She is also beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Several government officials who were free chatted with her for a few minutes.
We meet today, exchange names, and tomorrow we'll be old acquaintances.
Just then, a distinguished guest entered through the door, and two officials from the Administrative Secretariat personally went to greet him.
Hu Xiaoxiao took a look and thought, "Okay, it's someone I know again."
She followed him and greeted him familiarly, saying, "Mr. Xie, it's been a long time."
Xie Lisheng stopped when he saw Hu Xiaoxiao, and a kind smile appeared on his face. "If I had known you were coming today, I would have had the driver pick you up and come with me."
“I don’t live far away, so it’s more convenient for me to drive alone,” Hu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
The officials nearby only knew that Hu Xiaoxiao and Xie Zhiheng had a scandal, but they were surprised that Xie Lisheng treated Hu Xiaoxiao so well. They all put away their initial contempt.
Xie Lisheng knew all too well about these intricacies and complexities of human relationships, so he called Hu Xiaoxiao over and they went into the art exhibition together.
“Before I came, that brat repeatedly told me to keep an eye on you and not let anyone bully you,” Xie Lisheng said.
Hu Xiaoxiao followed Xie Lisheng and said, "I'm not a child, who would bully me?"
Hu Xiaoxiao knew about today's art exhibition and the list of VIPs because Xie Zhiheng gave her the information.
Xie Lisheng gave Hu Xiaoxiao a few pointers, "Everyone here today is a cunning old fox. Be careful, or you might get swallowed whole without even realizing it."
Hu Xiaoxiao's eyes crinkled into crescents: They're all old foxes? Then she must have gone back to her hometown.
After bringing Hu Xiaoxiao in and explaining the Xie family's stance, Xie Lisheng went to chat with his other old friends.
Hu Xiaoxiao was left alone—she felt there were many familiar faces here.
The candy tycoon Luo Gui, who was closest to her, was an acquaintance. Hu Xiaoxiao took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray, walked over, greeted Luo Gui, and said, "Mr. Luo, when will Luo's store release a new product? I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
Luo Gui was overjoyed to see Hu Xiaoxiao, who had helped him make a fortune. In business, who wouldn't like someone who could bring wealth? "It'll be done soon, it'll be done soon. Remember to take some time to come out and help me shoot a few more commercials."
"As Luo Sheng instructed, I will make time for it no matter how busy I am."
After greeting Luo Gui, Hu Xiaoxiao saw Chairman Chen of Quanfu Jewelry.
She had never met Chairman Chen, but he was a prominent figure in Baogang, and she had seen his photo in the newspaper.
"Hello Mr. Chen, I haven't had a chance to thank you properly until today. I'm so glad to meet you today and have come to express my gratitude," Hu Xiaoxiao said sincerely as she walked over.
After becoming the brand ambassador for Quanfu Jewelry, Hu Xiaoxiao's advertising value doubled. Not only did she get more advertising opportunities, but her endorsement fee also increased significantly.
