Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Chang Wanming's face turned deathly pale. He stared at Hu Xiaoxiao's back, gritting his teeth, his eyes looking like he wanted to devour him: "You stop right there!"

Not wanting to waste her breath, Hu Xiaoxiao continued walking towards Charlie's office.

Suddenly, Chang Wanming rushed over from behind, ran up to Hu Xiaoxiao, and glared at her fiercely.

Seeing his expression, Hu Xiaoxiao thought he was going to fight her to the death, and was about to make the first move when Chang Wanming suddenly slammed his fist on the ground—

He knelt down on both knees, in front of Hu Xiaoxiao.

Even Hu Xiaoxiao, who had seen a lot in the world, was stunned.

"Xiaoxiao, don't go to Charlie. What I just said was all nonsense. I apologize! I was bewitched, I had wicked intentions, I was a toad trying to eat swan meat! If you're still not satisfied, hit me, hit me to death!"

Hu Xiaoxiao scoffed, "Then you can go to a reporter and cry, saying I hit you, and you'll become famous, won't you?"

If he's really blacklisted, he'll never be famous again! "No, no, no! I'll tell everyone I fell, it has nothing to do with you, Xiaoxiao..."

Hu Xiaoxiao corrected his form of address: "Please call me Miss Hu."

She felt uncomfortable whenever he called her Xiaoxiao.

Chang Wanming immediately changed his tune, "Miss Hu, it's all my fault. As long as you forgive me, I'll do anything for you. If you don't believe me, I'll show you my determination right now."

After saying that, Chang Wanming raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face, his face quickly turning red. While slapping himself, he also cried and repented.

Hu Xiaoxiao gained a new understanding of Chang Wanming. This man was shameless, ruthless, and a complete rogue. Moreover, when in a disadvantageous situation, he could bend and kneel, cry easily, and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

This person is a ruthless character.

"It's not impossible for me to forgive you for plotting against me, but you have to atone for your sins," Hu Xiaoxiao said.

Seeing that there was a chance for things to turn around, Chang Wanming immediately wiped away his tears and snot, and said with a smile through his tears, "Just tell me, and I will definitely take care of anything I can do."

Hu Xiaoxiao found it a bit offensive and asked, "You agreed to everything without even asking? Aren't you afraid I'll send you to commit murder and arson?"

Chang Wanming shamelessly said, "Miss Hu is so beautiful and kind, how could she possibly ask me to kill or commit arson? Even if you asked me to kill or commit arson, it would definitely be that person who deserves to die."

"Stop with the glib talk. Didn't you see the person who took the photos the other day? I want you to find that person, and also find out who is secretly monitoring me and what their purpose is."

Chang Wanming said hesitantly, "I'll fight, even cripple someone's legs, but I don't know how to investigate cases, and I don't understand it..."

"You can do it, you know what I mean." Such a ruthless character, if he wanted to, there was nothing he couldn't do. Hu Xiaoxiao gave him a deadline, "Tomorrow is my reply to Charlie. If you haven't found information about the person who took the photos, then good luck to you."

Chang Wanming gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll go to the program department to find someone right now."

He remembered the man's approximate height, build, and hairstyle; if he searched carefully, he might be able to find him.

"Then we'll wait for your good news." Hu Xiaoxiao bent slightly, looking at Chang Wanming kneeling on the ground, his eyes darting around. "Whatever I tell you to do, you'd better behave yourself. You're a ruthless person, but I'm not exactly a good person either. However, I really want to be a good person, do you understand?"

Chang Wanming looked up and saw that Hu Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes were devoid of any warmth, cold and ruthless to the point of being inhuman.

He shivered inwardly and unconsciously reached out to rub his still aching stomach.

Thinking back to how Hu Xiaoxiao, wearing high heels, ran faster than him, who was wearing sneakers, and even dared to jump down and kick him.

This woman is no ordinary woman at all; if you anger her, she might be even more ruthless than him.

"I will definitely do it, and do it well," Chang Wanming assured him repeatedly. He wanted to avoid being blacklisted, and he also didn't want to make an enemy of this unpredictable person who made him wary.

Hu Xiaoxiao straightened up and walked past Chang Wanming. The rhythmic sound of her high heels seemed to pound on Chang Wanming's heart, making his heartbeat feel suppressed and uneasy.

Chang Wanming regretted that he hadn't investigated properly before provoking Hu Xiaoxiao.

Only after Hu Xiaoxiao had walked away did he dare to get up, rub his knees and stomach, and head towards the program department floor.

The next day at noon, Chang Wanming was waiting in the parking lot when he saw the familiar red car. He rushed over with a big smile on his face, full of enthusiasm.

"Miss Hu, you've arrived." Chang Wanming opened the car door for Hu Xiaoxiao with great enthusiasm. "Miss Hu, are you thirsty? Would you like me to buy you a drink? Miss Hu, are you hungry? Would you like me to buy you some snacks or desserts?"

After Hu Xiaoxiao took her bag and documents and got out of the car, she locked the car and asked him, "How's the investigation going?"

Seeing that Hu Xiaoxiao was holding some documents, Chang Wanming knew she was going to see Charlie. He immediately reported, "I waited at the door for an hour yesterday and finally found him when the program department was leaving get off work. I also asked someone for his name. His name is Guo Yuanqing. He is a photographer. Because of his profession, it won't arouse suspicion if he carries a camera around."

Seeing that there was no one in the parking lot, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't rush up, but instead asked a lot of questions about Guo Yuanqing.

Chang Wanming was indeed resourceful; in less than a day, he had obtained Guo Yuanqing's age and address. However, because of the short time, he didn't know whether Guo Yuanqing had only photographed Hu Xiaoxiao or had photographed others as well.

"I'm going to record the 'Aunt Dan's Soup Show' first. I'll go to the dressing room later. You—" Hu Xiaoxiao instructed Chang Wanming, "follow me as before, understand?"

“Understood. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I’ll be the oriole, catching the bug for Miss Hu,” Chang Wanming said, quite understandingly.

Hu Xiaoxiao took her things and went up first. Chang Wanming waited behind for a while, and seeing that no one was following Hu Xiaoxiao, he followed from behind.

As I passed a trash can along the way, I saw a lot of bouquets and gifts lying around it, all of them intact.

The TV station has many artists and fans from all walks of life. Every day, they receive flowers and gifts for their idols, and the building's cleaners have to throw away countless of them every day.

Chang Wanming picked out a bunch of flowers that looked intact, held them in his hand, and followed Hu Xiaoxiao up the stairs.

The TV station is a bustling place with people coming and going. Chang Wanming had been constantly trying to find out Hu Xiaoxiao's whereabouts and deliberately creating chance encounters. Although he was careful, he was noticed by many. The TV station is full of shrewd people, and given the gossip surrounding him, many at the station already knew about Chang Wanming's attempt to seduce Hu Xiaoxiao.

Those who noticed Chang Wanming acting suspiciously weren't surprised. Besides, he was holding flowers, clearly indicating he knew what Chang Wanming was up to, and they even watched with amusement.
