Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

The words of the voters who helped reminded the villagers of Hu Xiaoxiao's past assistance to the community. Even the villager who had previously disliked and criticized Hu Xiaoxiao was now hesitant to say anything more.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Xiaoxiao distributed a stack of leaflets to the villagers to campaign for votes, and promised that if she became a district councilor, she would help the residents convey their opinions to the Hong Kong government and help them handle various daily affairs.

If Hu Xiaoxiao has never done anything beneficial for the community before, many villagers will be skeptical of his promises at this time, thinking that he is just like other district councilors, making empty promises and boasting for the election.

However, Hu Xiaoxiao had already contributed to the community before, and she had put in a lot of effort. This fact, coupled with Hu Xiaoxiao's celebrity status, made the villagers feel that Hu Xiaoxiao's promises were highly credible.

When Hu Xiaoxiao handed out flyers, everyone took them. Getting up close and personal with a celebrity is something ordinary people can brag about.

"Miss Hu, is it next your turn to visit my home? Come, come, please, I've already brewed the tea." The next household member warmly invited Hu Xiaoxiao over.

Some residents who were not registered voters looked disappointed. "We are not voters, so are we not qualified to entertain Ms. Hu?"

Hu Xiaoxiao smiled warmly and said in a very approachable manner, “Whether you are a voter or not, you are a member of the community. Please be patient, I will visit everyone. As long as you are home today, I will visit each household. I especially want to hear the residents' opinions, as this will help my work and allow me to better serve the residents in the future. If you are a resident who has not registered to vote, you can register if you have time. This is everyone's right. Everyone has a ballot and can cast a precious vote for their own interests. The community does not belong to one person, but to everyone. Only when everyone works together can the entire community become a better place…”

Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao skillfully calm the residents, Feng Junhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Celebrities participating in district council elections were bound to cause controversy and negative comments. This was his biggest worry and what he considered the greatest challenge.

But to everyone's surprise, Hu Xiaoxiao resolved the problem with ease.

Of course, a large part of the reason is the good karma that Hu Xiaoxiao accumulated in the past.

Feng Junhao was already quite confident about Hu Xiaoxiao's candidacy for district councilor, and now he was even more reassured. He exchanged a glance with several publicity staff, and together they distributed flyers to residents who hadn't received them yet, giving Hu Xiaoxiao plenty of publicity.

When Hu Xiaoxiao went to visit the residents, some villagers who had nothing to do followed her. When Hu Xiaoxiao entered the house, they would either peek out to listen to what Hu Xiaoxiao was saying to the residents, or wait for Hu Xiaoxiao to come out and then follow her to the next house.

After visiting several households, Hu Xiaoxiao arrived at one of their homes.

This family's living space was much smaller and the environment was much worse than others.

Before even entering, I saw a pile of empty bottles and cardboard at the entrance, and the house was also filled with scavenged items. Fortunately, everything was neatly organized, and the house was relatively clean.

Hu Xiaoxiao received information about this family from the community staff who were assisting her.

The family that lived here is now reduced to one person: an elderly woman. She lost her husband when she was young, and her son died in a fight when he became a gangster in middle age. Now, she lives alone and destitute.

Community workers reminded Hu Xiaoxiao: "Grandma is a key household in need that the community is focusing on. We will help her apply for any welfare benefits or assistance from the community."

Hu Xiaoxiao immediately thought of the previous activities to care for the elderly and the donations from the Women and Children's Foundation, which had been allocated to Dafang Community. She wondered if this elderly man had received them.

Feng Junhao, who was standing nearby, conspicuously handed over a piece of paper. This paper contained the names of the people in the village who had received donations from Hu Xiaoxiao.

The elderly woman named Chen Amei received two electrical appliances from the elderly care activity: a color TV and a fan. The Women and Children's Foundation also gave Chen Amei nutritional supplements and holiday red envelopes.

Hu Xiaoxiao walked into Chen Amei's house. It was a very small living room with only two small chairs for guests. It was so narrow that it was inconvenient for two people to stand inside.

The fan that was delivered earlier is in the room, but the color TV is nowhere to be seen.

Chen Amei walked out of the cramped bedroom, squinting, making it difficult to see people clearly.

"Grandma, I've come to visit you," Hu Xiaoxiao said gently.

"Who are you?" Chen Amei squinted at Hu Xiaoxiao, looking completely bewildered.

Unable to squeeze through, Feng Junhao shouted from behind Hu Xiaoxiao, "Grandma, do you remember when someone donated appliances to you, and gave you nutritional supplements and holiday red envelopes? It was this Miss Hu. Miss Hu donated a lot of money to these activities. Thanks to the help of caring people like Miss Hu, the community is able to help many people in need."

Chen Amei then realized what was happening and came up to shake Hu Xiaoxiao's hand. "Oh, it's you! You kind person. Thank you so much, you kind person. Kindness is rewarded."

“It’s not just me who did this good deed; many people did it together.” Seeing that there was no room for anyone to sit inside, and also worried about messing up Chen Amei’s tidy home, Hu Xiaoxiao reached out to help the old woman to go outside. “Grandma, let’s sit outside for a while. I want to chat with you and hear if there’s anything you particularly need. If I can, I’ll mention it to the Women and Children’s Foundation.”

Although Chen Amei's eyesight was a little blurry, her hearing was still good. When she heard that this matter concerned her own interests, she followed Hu Xiaoxiao outside.

The nearby residents all knew about Chen Amei's situation, so they brought out some stools from their neighbors' homes for Hu Xiaoxiao and the staff to sit down.

Hu Xiaoxiao first helped Chen Amei sit down. When she saw that her neighbor had brewed a pot of tea, she thanked him repeatedly and praised the villagers for being kind, helpful, humane, and righteous.

These compliments pleased not only the neighbors who offered stools and tea, but also the villagers who came to watch the spectacle. Naturally, they found Hu Xiaoxiao even more agreeable.

"Grandma, are the color TV and fan we gave you before still usable?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked, handing the tea to Chen Amei first.

Chen Amei took the tea, sipped it, and found it a little hot. Since there was no table, she placed the teacup on the ground and said, "It's very useful. The electric fan has helped me a lot; it's kept me warm on this hot day."

"Where's the TV?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked.
