Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Song Yan'an found it hard to refuse such a studious and polite junior, and did his best to answer Hu Xiaoxiao's questions and resolve her doubts.

After the set was rearranged, Hu Xiaoxiao changed into her costume, a white dress with exquisite makeup and Xie Weihua's signature Roman curls.

The male lead, Song Yan'an, had also changed into his costume, a sharp suit. He walked over and stood next to Hu Xiaoxiao. The two of them shone like the sun, instantly becoming the focus of the entire scene.

"Action!"

As night fell, the social dinner for the newly appointed mayor of Shanghai began. Xie Weihua walked into the banquet arm in arm with Zhao Zhenchuan, and the eye-catching couple attracted the attention of everyone present.

The newly appointed Mayor Wu greeted Zhao Zhenchuan and shook hands with him, saying, "Mr. Zhao, you've arrived. Please, please, please. Mr. Zhao is one of the most sought-after new elites in Shanghai in recent years. It is my honor to have you attend today's banquet."

"I wouldn't dare," Zhao Zhenchuan said modestly but with grace. "It would be my honor to receive an invitation from the mayor."

Mayor Wu saw Xie Weihua. Although Xie Weihua was his subordinate's subordinate at work, after get off work, she was the daughter of a wealthy man in Shanghai. If he wanted to remain mayor in Shanghai, he had to give her some face.

Therefore, Mayor Wu said to Xie Weihua in a friendly manner, "Weihua looks beautiful again tonight. If it weren't for Mr. Zhao as your dance partner, I think the line of people wanting to invite you to dance would stretch all the way to Wutong Road."

"Just because they invite me doesn't mean I have to accept!" Xie Weihua said arrogantly.

Mayor Wu was used to Miss Xie's temper, so he quickly invited the two of them into the banquet. Then, when he saw that another distinguished guest had arrived, he went to greet him personally.

Zhao Zhenchuan and Xie Weihua each took a glass of wine, holding it in their hands as if to drink, but didn't actually drink it. They had important business to attend to tonight, and drinking could easily lead to mistakes; they also worried that the strong smell of alcohol might attract attention.

They exchanged a glance, a gesture that appeared affectionate to outsiders, but in reality, they had exchanged more than one piece of information. Then, Zhao Zhenchuan chatted amiably with the celebrities present, while Xie Weihua discussed fashion trends with familiar female guests.

Mayor Wu hosted this banquet to ensure the smooth progress of the new government's work. He invited not only Shanghai celebrities but also Japanese people.

Masako Yamamoto was accompanying her teacher, Ichiro Sato, to the banquet. After taking a glass of wine from a waiter, she noticed Zhao Zhenchuan.

Zhao Zhenchuan's actions in Shanghai were noticed by Yamamoto Masako several times. Although he was not caught by Yamamoto Masako, she had become suspicious of him.

At the same time, Zhao Zhenchuan was handsome and cultured, with both elegance and taste, and she was involuntarily attracted by his charm.

Therefore, upon seeing Zhao Zhenchuan, Yamamoto Masako went over to him and, using her position in the Japanese government, questioned him about his whereabouts a month prior.

After seeing the signal Zhao Zhenchuan gave her, Xie Weihua walked over and bumped into a wine glass that Yamamoto Masako had thrown, spilling wine onto her dress.

Xie Weihua then questioned Yamamoto Masako about why she had splashed her drink for no reason, asking if this was the proper manners of the Japanese.

Masako Yamamoto had just tried to get information from Zhao Zhenchuan, but she was instead provoked by his words and lost her composure. In her excitement, she flung her hand back, but accidentally splashed the drink on Xie Weihua.

Many guests at the banquet witnessed Masako Yamamoto throwing Xie Weihua's water, and they all looked on in disbelief. Masako Yamamoto was speechless, and even her teacher, Sato, was very dissatisfied with her rudeness.

Mayor Wu quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Wei Hua, Miss Ya Zi didn't do it on purpose. Let's just let this matter go."

Xie Weihua said unhappily, "My dress is all dirty. How can I attend the ball later? I specially went to the department store to buy this dress for tonight's ball."

"I'll make it up to you. I'll have someone from the department store send you a new dress right now." Mayor Wu's kind words finally appeased Xie Weihua, and he invited her to rest in the dressing room for a while. She could change into the new dress when it arrived, just in time for the ball to begin.

Xie Weihua could only follow the servant to the dressing room with a pitiful expression, which aroused the sympathy of many people.

After arriving at the dressing room, Xie Weihua dismissed the servants and quickly took off her outer dress, revealing light clothing underneath that was unstained by the wine.

She picked up her bag, quietly left the dressing room, and went upstairs to Mayor Wu's study when no one was looking.

She narrowly escaped being discovered several times, and even nearly fell from the building while trying to avoid the mayor's secretary, a truly harrowing experience.

Finally, she sneaked into the mayor's study, found Mayor Wu's special seal, stamped it on several certificates for the release of prisoners, and forged Mayor Wu's handwriting to sign her name.

This certificate is to rescue several people who have been captured by the security team. They are very important undercover agents, and the security team is investigating their identities. They must be rescued and sent out of Shanghai before their identities are exposed.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Zhao Zhenchuan seemed distracted several times after Xie Weihua went to the changing room. When asked about it again, he said, "Weihua has never suffered such injustice. I'm worried about her. I'll go check on her first and try to cheer her up before she comes down."

Amidst the teasing from the crowd, Zhao Zhenchuan used this excuse to go upstairs. When no one was paying attention, he took out a set of keys after turning a corner. These were the keys he had stolen from Yamamoto Masako when she was flustered after splashing Xie Weihua.

Zhao Zhenchuan had already figured out the situation at Mayor Wu's house. He went down from the third-floor window, left the banquet, got into a Japanese military vehicle on the way, entered a Japanese agency, and stole an important piece of intelligence that would affect the battlefield.

After Zhao Weihua finished her work, she returned to the dressing room, put her dirty dress back on, and then opened a window in the dressing room.

During this time, a servant asked at the door if she needed any drinks. She pretended to be arguing with Wu Zhenchuan in the room and chased the servant away.

She kept glancing at her watch, anxiously waiting for Zhao Zhenchuan to return. Ten minutes before the ball was to begin, Zhao Zhenchuan finally climbed in through the window. She quickly checked him for any marks. Just then, the department store deliveryman arrived, bringing several outfits for Xie Weihua to choose from.

Xie Weihua randomly picked one item and handed over the stamped and signed certificate, along with the information Zhao Zhenchuan had stolen, to the person who delivered the clothing.

It turned out that this person was arranged by Zhao Zhenchuan in advance. He left the banquet with his belongings and a few clothes, then called his men and split them into two groups. One group sent out the intelligence, while the other group pretended to be people from the puppet government and went to the security office to pick up the person.

The ball was about to begin. Xie Weihua changed into a new dress, took Zhao Zhenchuan's hand, and walked gracefully onto the dance floor.

Zhao Zhenchuan was elegant and refined, showing no signs of having just experienced a thrilling and dangerous spy mission.
