Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Hu Xiaoxiao then thought of Tan Yinglian in front of her, who was a role model. She used her social status and connections to constantly fight for the rights of women and children and helped many people.

One person can only do so much, but with the help of power, one can do much more and more extensively, and do it more smoothly.

Hu Xiaoxiao thought Tan Yinglian's words made a lot of sense. No matter how famous or rich you are, in the eyes of those in power, you are nothing more than a little thing that can be crushed at any time.

Hu Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid of those powerful and influential people. If they angered her, it was hard to say who would crush whom. But the fact that power allowed her to do more things intrigued her.

This is a very new way to play.

Hu Xiaoxiao became interested and, without any hesitation, asked Tan Yinglian to teach her.

Since Tan Yinglian had given Hu Xiaoxiao some pointers, she had no intention of holding back and gave Hu Xiaoxiao a general overview of many things. "We don't have enough time today, and the place isn't right either. Let's meet somewhere quiet another day to talk in detail."

"Aunt Tan is so kind..." Hu Xiaoxiao praised Tan Yinglian again and again with a sweet tongue, praising her in various ways.

Tan Yinglian liked Hu Xiaoxiao's quick wit and sweet tongue, and said, "Helping you is also helping myself. Women have it tough. If more women who can make a name for themselves stand up, we can all help and support each other in the future."

Seeing that she had been chatting with Hu Xiaoxiao for too long and was neglecting the other guests, Tan Yinglian said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Come on, let's go and get to know a few more people. Among the guests today, there is an official from the Civil Affairs Department and two committee members. I'll introduce you to them later."

Hu Xiaoxiao is a very proactive person. After deciding what to do, she learned that she would be running for district councilor this year, and immediately began preparing for the election.

If she doesn't get elected this year, she'll have to wait four years. She doesn't want to waste four years; there are so many things that can be done in four years, and wasting even one more year is a loss.

Having connections in the imperial court makes things much easier. The legitimate connections Hu Xiaoxiao had cultivated over the years finally came in handy. With Tan Yinglian's help, she smoothly obtained nominations from several committee members and passed the review process.

She lives in Tiancui City, a new residential area that hasn't yet been formally established as a new community, and it's currently under the jurisdiction of Dafang Community. Being a resident of Dafang Community and familiar with her neighbors, Hu Xiaoxiao put aside all her other affairs and devoted herself entirely to the election, striving for a one-time victory.

With Tan Yinglian's introduction, Hu Xiaoxiao hired Feng Junhao, an assistant who was familiar with the election process and community work.

After learning about the situation in Dafang Community, Feng Junhao said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "I think Ms. Hu has a very good chance of running for district councilor."

The place where Hu Xiaoxiao invited Feng Junhao was in the office building in Tiancui City, where she owned three floors. One of the offices, a little over 200 square meters, had just been vacated last month. Hu Xiaoxiao didn't plan to rent it out; instead, she decided to take it back, renovate it, and make it her own office space.

As her businesses grow, she needs a dedicated office space. If she is elected as a member of parliament or runs a clothing company, her agents will need an office to manage her affairs.

Hu Xiaoxiao poured Feng Junhao a cup of hot tea and asked, "Tell me in detail where you are most confident?"

Feng Junhao took out the research and analysis data he had prepared in advance and handed it to Hu Xiaoxiao, saying, "This is the data I have prepared. Please take a look, Miss Hu. Since being elected Miss Hong Kong, Miss Hu has been committed to charity. I'm afraid even Miss Hu herself doesn't know what charity work she has done."

Feng Junhao explained to Hu Xiaoxiao in detail: "Leaving aside other places for now, just in Dafang Community, we have received donations from Ms. Hu three times. Once was a care activity for the elderly led by the Hong Kong government, and the other two were relief efforts for women and children in need provided by the Women and Children's Foundation. All three activities were publicly announced, and Ms. Hu's donation list is on them."

Hu Xiaoxiao happened to come across this article. The donation for the elderly care activity was a sum of money she made after she became famous for filming "The Legend of Long Yijiang". As a charity ambassador appointed by the Hong Kong government, she naturally gave her full support to the Hong Kong government's charity work.

She couldn't quite recall the two donations to women and children's foundations, because Tan Yinglian was the chairperson of the foundation, and Hu Xiaoxiao would attend whenever invited. She not only donated but also helped to warm up the atmosphere. Her friendship with Tan Yinglian was built through these acts of mutual support.

Because she donated so many times, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't know which two Women and Children's Foundation funds were allocated to Dafang Community.

Feng Junhao added, "Another one was the largest charity event, which was also a project funded solely by Ms. Hu herself. It was a sewage and garbage treatment project. The Dafang community had publicized this act of kindness to Ms. Hu, and almost all the residents of the Dafang community knew about it."

Hu Xiaoxiao had a deep impression of the sewage and garbage treatment project, not only because Tan Yinglian had just mentioned it to her, but also because it cost her a lot of money. She had directly donated the box office revenue she got from Luo Cheng to that project, and the garbage treatment plant had also spent a considerable amount of money to complete it.

Although this project cost her a lot of money, it also brought her many benefits. For example, officials from the Civil Affairs Bureau called to thank her, and the Dafang Community sent her a gift to express their gratitude during the Lunar New Year.

At the time, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't think so much; she was simply moved by the poor living conditions in those villages. Little did she know that this would become her biggest asset and contribution to her candidacy for district councilor.

“Ms. Hu, you have consistently contributed to the Dafang community. This is your achievement and your greatest source of confidence. Therefore, as long as Ms. Hu does not have any major negative news before running for district councilor, I think I am 90% confident.”

With his strength, prestige among the residents, and support from the civil affairs department, Feng Junhao believed that Hu Xiaoxiao was 100% likely to be elected.

So, after learning about what Hu Xiaoxiao had done, he agreed without hesitation, thanks to Tan Yinglian's introduction.

Feng Junhao not only compiled information on what Hu Xiaoxiao had done, but also wrote out the detailed election procedures and handed them to Hu Xiaoxiao. "As long as Ms. Hu follows the procedures I have outlined, I am confident that I can help Ms. Hu win the district councilor position."

"I can tell you're very professional." After reading through the two thick documents, Hu Xiaoxiao expressed her appreciation for Feng Junhao's work ability.

Feng Junhao said confidently, "Ms. Tan recommended me to Ms. Hu, which means she knows I am capable enough to handle the task."

"If you can help me get elected as a district councilor, you can act as my proxy for the district councilor."
