Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

All eyes of the audience were on contestant number 19, Hu Xiaoxiao. Even the whispering audience members stopped talking, sat up straight, and looked at Hu Xiaoxiao.

Facing countless gazes, Hu Xiaoxiao showed no fear; on the contrary, she became even more radiant and composed.

She walked around the stage, as if a princess were touring her palace.

"Hello, Gavin."

“Hello, Ms. Hu Xiaoxiao, I have a personal question.” Chen Jinchu glanced at the dazzling girl beside him, “I saw from the information that Ms. Hu is only 18 years old this year. Don’t you think you are too young to fulfill the mission of Miss Hong Kong?”

Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I think it's just right. Since I meet the age requirement for participating in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, it means that I am capable of fulfilling the mission and responsibilities of Miss Hong Kong in terms of age. As for ability, being young means that I am full of potential and an immeasurable future."

Perfect timing! As a young person, I'll have more time to build our young Baogang, transforming it into the most dazzling pearl on Earth, a brilliance that no one can ignore.

"Indeed, the young are formidable," Chen Jinchu praised, then turned to the audience, "Please welcome Shi Gao."

Fang Shigao sat down next to a media professional named Li Wenchun. "Please invite Mr. Li to ask Ms. Hu a question."

Li Wenchun nodded, took the microphone, and asked Hu Xiaoxiao, "Ms. Hu, if an unreasonable old lady wanted to argue with you, what would you do?"

This topic inevitably brings to mind the previous incident concerning Athena.

Immediately, everyone perked up, eager to hear Hu Xiaoxiao's answer.

Hu Xiaoxiao's smile remained unchanged as she replied, "There are many ways to resolve things; you don't necessarily have to argue. She's an elderly woman, and we young people will always be courteous to her."

Li Wenchun clearly wouldn't easily evade this question: "But what if Grandma just likes to argue and insists on arguing with you, and you have no choice but to argue with her?"

“If we have to argue, the old lady will speak Cantonese and I will speak Hakka.”

Li Wen-Chu continued to press the issue: "What if that old woman speaks Hakka?"

"Then I'll speak English."

Li Wenchun couldn't help but laugh and said, "So, you've decided it's like talking to a brick wall? What if that old lady could speak English?"

Hu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "If this old lady is so amazing, I will definitely treat her with utmost respect, and then ask her to be my apprentice so that she can teach me her skills."

Chen Jinchu laughed and said, "What if Grandma refuses to teach you skills?"

Hu Xiaoxiao replied, "Doesn't Grandma like to argue? Since she won't teach me any skills, I'll just hold back and not argue with her, so she can't do what she likes."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Chen Jinchu said, "Thank you, Ms. Hu. Please return to your seat. Next, please welcome contestant number 20, Shen Yihao—"

After showing off her skills, Shen Yihao came to Chen Jinchu's side. "Hello, Gavin."

"Hello, Ms. Shen Yihao, now we'd like to invite our guest to ask a question."

A male guest took the microphone and asked a similarly tricky question: "Ms. Shen, if you accidentally entered the wrong men's restroom and there happened to be a man using it, how would you resolve the awkward situation?"

Shen Yi thought for a moment and said, "I will pretend to be blind."

"You mean you're pretending you didn't see anything, right?"

"Yes."

"What if that man is a pervert?"

Shen Yihao was stunned for a moment, "Then, I'll just have to run quickly."

Another burst of laughter erupted on the field, making Shen Yihao's ears turn red.

As the contestants began interacting with the guests, the audience started taking out forms to score them.

When you see a beauty you like or admire, you can cast a vote for her; each vote counts as one point.

After the scores are assigned, several scorekeepers will tally the results.

After the interactive session, Chen Jinchu said, "Please invite the 24 beauties to walk around the stage and show themselves. This is your last chance to win votes."

The 24 beauties, with their most beautiful smiles and most elegant postures, walked across the stage facing the audience.

"Next, Wang Yiqun, Brother Qun, will sing a song called 'Orchid Grass' for us to relax."

Wang Yiqun is a high-ranking figure at the television station, a guarantee of high viewership.

His closing performance boosted the show's ratings once again.

The contestants backstage were nervously waiting for the statistics. One of them, who hadn't done well in the interactive segment, was panicking: "Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be eliminated."

Even after the performance ended, the host invited the contestants out again. Some were resigned to their fate, while others walked out in a line from backstage with great anticipation.

The 24 beauties stood in a row again, in the center of the stage.

Fang Shigao had left the audience and walked onto the stage with Chen Jinchu to host the most intense segment.

"Alright, thanks to the scorekeepers' tallying, the score is in my hands." Chen Jinchu held up a folded piece of paper.

"The eight contestants with the lowest scores will leave this stage. I believe everyone is looking forward to finding out which eight they are. Including me, I am also very much looking forward to it."

Fang Shigao said, "At such a tense moment, I wonder how you ladies are feeling? Let me interview you first."

Fang Shigao randomly selected a contestant, "Contestant number 15, Lu Meilian, I'd like to interview you. How are you feeling right now?"

Lu Meilian was so nervous she could hardly breathe. "I'm so nervous."

Fang Shigao comforted her, saying, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. It's no use being nervous now, because the results are already in."

Hearing this consolation only made Lu Meilian feel even more like the sky had fallen.

"You're almost making her cry." Chen Jinchu chuckled at Fang Shigao. He then asked Lu Meilian, "Ms. Lu, I'm not asking about your results now. I'm asking about the other contestants. Which of the 24 contestants do you think has a good chance of making it to the finals?"

When asked about other people's topics, Lu Meilian finally relaxed a bit and replied, "I think Lin Qianyou (No. 9) and Hu Xiaoxiao (No. 19) will definitely be able to enter the finals."

"Are you sure?" Chen Jinchu asked.

Lu Meilian nodded and said, "Yes, definitely. They are excellent. During training, they are always the hardest working and most proactive. Especially Hu Xiaoxiao, she is very capable, learns things very quickly, and is extremely hardworking and diligent. The teachers all like her very much."

Fang Shigao asked mischievously, "Since you're so sure that contestants number 9 and 19 will make it to the finals, then tell me, which contestant are you sure will be eliminated?"

Lu Meilian was so frustrated by his questions that she almost shut up. She said, "I don't know who will be eliminated because I didn't vote for them. But I hope I won't be eliminated, and I hope I can make it to the finals."
