Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Hu Xiaoxiao recovered quickly. After sleeping for a few days, her headache and dizziness subsided, and she felt much more energetic. However, because of the medication on her back, she still had to sleep face down. "Didn't I tell you I was almost better? Why did you rush back?"

"You've had such a big accident, how could I not rush back?" Xie Zhiheng pulled up a chair, sat down, and picked up an apple from the table to start eating.

The ward where Hu Xiaoxiao is staying is one of the best wards in Kanghe Hospital, where she stayed before. It has a large floor-to-ceiling window, and when you open the curtains, you can see a beautiful view outside.

Hu Xiaoxiao's back wound was treated promptly, and with the protective gear worn during filming, her recovery is going well. It's just that she felt a bit uncomfortable as her skin grew back during the recovery period.

She wasn't comfortable lying down, so she slowly walked to the window and chatted with Tse Chi-hang about developing her career in mainland China.

With the backing of the Xie Group, Xie Zhiheng easily acquired a piece of land. He had prior experience developing Tiancui City, and although industrial parks and commercial buildings are different, they share commonalities, allowing him to get started very quickly. Now, the development of the industrial park is progressing quite well.

“The labor costs there are very low, and the people are willing to work hard, so development is much faster than in Baogang. I’ll have them build our garment factory first, and once the garment factory is built, the others will be about the same. Our garment factory will be the first to start operations and will be able to get a lot of preferential policies.”

When Xie Zhiheng talked about starting a factory, he became radiant, exuding a more composed and mature air. His thinking became more flexible, and his perspective on things and the world changed completely.

Unbeknownst to him, he had grown up and was no longer the playboy who spent his days having fun and frequenting entertainment venues.

"Also, the entire management team for the garment factory has been assembled, and we've started contacting the European and American markets for orders. We'll start with exports, and once we've made enough capital, we'll build our brand." Xie Zhiheng explained the garment factory's development plan to Hu Xiaoxiao, which was largely the same as what they had discussed before.

Hu Xiaoxiao said, "If the export business is good, we can open a branch factory, make money from exports on one hand, and develop our own brand on the other."

Xie Zhiheng nodded and said, "When you're running your own brand, you need to open stores and chain stores. You need to open enough stores that are big, high-end, and have enough of them to convince people."

Otherwise, even if it's a branded clothing store, if it only has one or two small shops, it doesn't look professional and looks like a small business.

Only when you have enough stores, high-end decorations, and good locations will consumers believe that your brand is classy and trustworthy.

Xie Zhiheng continued, "This will require a lot of initial investment. We'll use the money we earn from exports to invest in building the stores. I've planned it out: when we're building the stores, we'll buy the premises as well. And if the clothing business fails, we can still rent out the premises and collect rent..."

The Xie family started out in the real estate business, and Xie Zhiheng, relying on his wealth, wanted to buy everything.

Hu Xiaoxiao listened with interest and chatted with Xie Zhiheng about the future development of the clothing company.

However, Hu Xiaoxiao was still recovering from her illness and lacked energy. After chatting for less than an hour, she felt tired and had to lie back down to rest.

After learning from the doctor that Hu Xiaoxiao's condition had stabilized, Xie Zhiheng gave some instructions at the hospital and rushed back to the mainland to continue his work. He was now enjoying his career immensely, feeling a great sense of accomplishment, which was far more interesting than his previous days of indulging in eating and drinking, being taken advantage of, and being gossiped about behind his back.

Everyone was busy, but Huang Yuliang took a moment to come over and explain what he had found to Hu Xiaoxiao.

After taking over some of the Qinglong Gang's businesses and people, he investigated the matter of instructing the bomb disposal expert again.

The Qinglong Gang targeted Hu Xiaoxiao, partly because they were unhappy that he had taken over the territory of the Fifth District and made a fortune by taking advantage of the destruction of the Sanren Society, and they wanted to teach him a lesson.

Another important reason is related to the bank robbery by Da Ya Lai: "The kidnappers Qiu Lihua ordered to abduct you have been released from prison."

After their release from prison, they returned to the Qinglong Gang. Upon reviewing their accounts, they suspected that Da Ya Lai's arrest was related to Hu Xiao Xiao, who had tipped off the officers. They compared the things they had confessed to Hu Xiao Xiao, including a few things she had let slip, and compared that to Da Ya Lai's bank robbery, which seemed like walking into a trap, immediately leading them to suspect Hu Xiao Xiao.

So, they used coercion and bribery to get Sun Lu to do the work. Sun Lu was afraid of retaliation from the Qinglong Gang if he refused, and he was also greedy for the money the Qinglong Gang was giving him, so he agreed to work for them.

"I see." Hu Xiaoxiao felt that time had passed very quickly, and that the legal system in Baogang was too humane. Such a serious crime, and he was only imprisoned for a few years before being released.

And, without realizing it, she had offended quite a few people.

However, in this society, it's impossible to get ahead and rise to a higher position without offending someone. This incident is not the first, nor will it be the last.

Don't want to offend anyone? Then become the fish on the chopping block, at their mercy, and naturally everyone will like you.

Hu Xiaoxiao, however, likes to control her own destiny. If anyone doesn't like her, she'll just keep doing it. Who's afraid of who?

"I will handle this matter," Huang Yuliang said. In other words, whether it was the previous kidnappers or the Da Ya Lai who would be released later, Huang Yuliang would take care of them.

After visiting Hu Xiaoxiao, Huang Yuliang left to attend to other matters.

The crew of "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts" is also busy.

Filming for "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts" is mostly complete, with only two scenes left unfinished. Unfortunately, both of these scenes are either Hu Xiaoxiao's or Jiang Muyang's.

In other words, there are still two scenes between the female lead and the male lead that haven't been filmed.

The female lead is currently hospitalized, making filming impossible in the short term, but the movie urgently needs to be released. This is the first film produced by Shengshi Entertainment since its inception, and it's crucial to the company's future development plans; its release cannot be delayed.

After discussions within the production team and consultation with the two bosses—Mr. Huang and Sister Xiao—those two scenes were cut!

Deleting these two scenes has no impact on the main storyline of the film; they are neither essential nor superfluous.

Therefore, the management team readily deleted the scenes.

The only person affected and deeply hurt was the male protagonist, Jiang Muyang.

But it's no use having opinions. The boss has already made the decision. Even if Hu Xiaoxiao wasn't hospitalized, would he have the right to object if the boss said the scenes would be cut?

He doesn't deserve it!

"But I'm the male lead!" Jiang Muyang, with tears welling up in his eyes, came to visit Hu Xiaoxiao, almost grabbing her sleeve and crying. "Sister Xiao, you promised I was the male lead! What kind of drama has a male lead who only gets one shot? One shot and he's gone? Who's more pathetic than me, this pathetic male lead?"
