Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Before leaving, Feng Junhao added, "We need to use Ms. Hu's photos and portraits during the election. Ms. Hu can have a set of photos taken specifically for the election campaign, with an image and temperament that is approachable and friendly."

He almost said outright that they shouldn't be so ostentatious and dazzling, lest the residents immediately think they're from a different world and feel resentful.

Feng Junhao specifically reminded her because in the news reports, magazines, newspapers, movies, and television shows he saw about Hu Xiaoxiao, she always appeared stunningly beautiful.

Such an image might seem glamorous for a celebrity, but it wouldn't work when she's working at the grassroots level; she'd appear out of place. Furthermore, it could provoke resentment from those with a sense of envy or resentment towards the wealthy, leading to negative comments about Hu Xiaoxiao.

"I know what I'm doing," Hu Xiaoxiao said, indicating that she was confident in her abilities.

Having come from a beauty pageant background, Hu Xiaoxiao is a professional at winning elections—she knows how to impress the judges and how to present herself in a way that benefits her.

After seeing Feng Junhao off, Hu Xiaoxiao began to think about how to take campaign photos and what kind of look to adopt.

Lin Zhini watched the whole thing and was filled with admiration for Feng Junhao's professionalism: "I wish I could have his skills and abilities so I could help Sister Xiao with more things."

“You cook delicious food for me every day, which is much more effective than him,” Hu Xiaoxiao comforted her. “You don’t need to envy him. Even if you are more professional and know more than him, I still won’t choose you as the district councilor’s representative.”

"Why?" Lin Zhini asked, feeling hurt.

Hu Xiaoxiao explained the reason to Lin Zhini: "A district councilor's representative needs to help the district councilor understand the residents' needs and go deep into the community to deal with them. The community is full of all kinds of people. There are people who like to take advantage and make trouble, people who like to make things difficult for others and boss people around, and there are even some lecherous people hiding among them. You are a young girl, and you are pretty. If you go to deal with them one day, you might get dragged into their house and no one will know."

Lin Zhini suddenly shivered and immediately lost all desire for the job, thinking that being a life assistant, cooking, and making soup would be quite nice.

With so many people in the community, besides lecherous men, there are also quite a few gangsters and triad members. One wrong move and your life is in danger.

However, seeing Lin Zhini's ambition, Hu Xiaoxiao asked her to collect stories of good deeds and good people in Dafang Community that were worth turning into a play. Finding these stories was easy; just ask around in areas with many elderly people in the community. The elderly especially liked to tell these stories, and they told them in an interesting, vivid, and highly engaging way.

Lin Zhini accepted the task and happily went to do it. She was Hu Xiaoxiao's personal assistant, and when there were filming commitments, she was busier with more things to do. But once Hu Xiaoxiao wasn't filming, she had nothing to do except cook. Even when cooking, with Mingxu across the street who liked to cook and Sister Xi upstairs who liked to feed Hu Xiaoxiao, Lin Zhini was incredibly bored.

With such a high salary and so many bonuses every year, Lin Zhini felt a little guilty. That's why she was just thinking of helping Hu Xiaoxiao with her election campaign, but unfortunately, she didn't understand elections and wasn't cut out to be an agent.

Now that she has been given a job, and an easy one at that, Lin Zhini feels incredibly fulfilled.

Hu Xiaoxiao designed her own promotional photos with a focus on simplicity. She even went for a walk on the street and looked at ordinary clothes.

The most common and widely worn clothing item is the T-shirt. After browsing around, Hu Xiaoxiao had a new idea.

She found a clothing factory and ordered a batch of white T-shirts with her name and campaign slogan printed on them. She would wear them for photos and give them to her campaign staff as work uniforms, which would make them look professional and neat.

The clothes were made quickly. Hu Xiaoxiao put them on and took several photos without any makeup or cosmetics, including half-body and full-body shots.

Feng Junhao's promotional flyer content and format were ready and sent to Hu Xiaoxiao for review.

After reviewing it, Hu Xiaoxiao found nothing to criticize; it was very professionally done. She then discussed some details with Feng Junhao, such as which photo to include on the flyer and the color of the flyer.

Dong Peiyu and Lin Zhini also came over to help with the selection. After discussing it, they chose a simple full-body photo of Hu Xiaoxiao, and the promotional flyer was mainly in a festive bright red.

Then there are questions like what slogans should be printed on the flags, how many T-shirts are needed, and how many staff members should be hired to help with the promotion.

Although Hu Xiaoxiao is only responsible for decision-making, there are too many and too many trivial matters to handle, and the workload is no less than that of filming.

After the recruitment was completed, flyers, T-shirts, banners and flags were all ready, and Hu Xiaoxiao's competitors had already started campaigning.

Hu Xiaoxiao quickened her pace and began the building cleaning operation.

That morning, Hu Xiaoxiao, accompanied by several publicity assistants, Feng Junhao, and community staff, arrived at the first village under the community's jurisdiction and began cleaning the buildings from the village entrance.

Hu Xiaoxiao's arrival surprised many villagers.

A big star like him actually came to their poor village to campaign for a district councilor position?

The first villager we visited was a registered voter with a ballot.

Voters are eligible citizens of Baogang who, after registration, possess the right to vote and to be elected.

Hu Xiaoxiao frequently participates in events organized by the Hong Kong government, gets to know many people, and learns a lot about government affairs. In order to make it easier to help vote when needed, she registered as a voter when she bought the property in Tiancui City.

When Hu Xiaoxiao knocked on the door of the first voter's house, the voter, Mrs. Liu, recognized Hu Xiaoxiao and thought that the big star had come to film a TV program.

When Hu Xiaoxiao explained that it was a district councilor election, he looked extremely surprised: "District councilor? You're a big star, why would you run for district councilor? Are you even capable of doing this kind of thing?"

Hu Xiaoxiao had already prepared for this situation. "Mrs. Liu asked a good question. I believe many voters have the same thought: why don't big stars live comfortably and glamorously as big stars, but instead come to be district councilors, working hard and earning little money?"

Mrs. Liu nodded, looking at Hu Xiaoxiao with a puzzled expression.

Instead of answering Mrs. Liu's question, Hu Xiaoxiao asked about something else: "Mrs. Liu, I wonder how convenient it is to dispose of garbage in the village since last year? How is the sewage discharge problem? Is it still like before, with floods everywhere after rain and sewage everywhere? And the sewage ditches smelling bad all day long when it's hot?"

Upon hearing these things, Liu Tai suddenly remembered, her smile broadened, and her gaze towards Hu Xiaoxiao softened considerably. "I remember!"
