Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Hu Xiaoxiao poured herself a cup of tea and said, "The film company that produced 'The Hitman's Bodyguard' was owned by Luo Sheng. Luo Sheng was very generous to me and gave me half of the box office revenue."

These few seemingly casual words contain a wealth of information.

Everyone knows how stingy and greedy Luo Cheng is, yet he was willing to share half of the meat in his mouth with Hu Xiaoxiao. This friendship far surpasses that of ordinary friends.

Zhang Rongguang was startled and dared not underestimate Hu Xiaoxiao even more, otherwise it would be tantamount to disrespecting Luo Sheng.

Just as he was thinking this, he turned his head and saw that his younger brother had ordered the entire table. He was so angry that he reached out to slap him again: "You ignorant brat, you have no sense of propriety!"

"Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? Who told you to order so much?"

The younger brother instinctively flinched, dodging Zhang Rongguang's slap. "I... I was thinking of packing some for Abin and the others to take over..."

Zhang Rongguang's face turned green; he had completely lost face, and he wanted to take action again.

Hu Xiaoxiao stopped him and praised her younger brother: "He still remembers the other staff members, which shows he is a loyal person. Here, pack a few more portions for the hardworking people. You just reminded me that I also need to pack a few breakfasts for my assistants."

Zhang Rongguang knew perfectly well that Hu Xiaoxiao was giving him a way out. As far as he knew, the publicity staff Hu Xiaoxiao hired had very good benefits and had probably already eaten breakfast.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. "How about this, I'll pay for breakfast today."

"I promised to treat you, how can I let Mr. Zhang pay? If you keep being so polite, I'll get angry," Hu Xiaoxiao said, feigning annoyance.

Zhang Rongguang had no choice but to give up, unable to taste the food. However, his underlings next to him ate with great relish, thinking to themselves that this was indeed a grand restaurant, the taste was superb, and they couldn't stop eating.

Zhang Rongguang was a smart man. Seeing that he couldn't win against Hu Xiaoxiao, he immediately changed his strategy and switched his support to Hu Xiaoxiao. After leaving the restaurant, he went back to the stall immediately, took away Hu Xiaoxiao's flags and banners, and took a flag and half of a flyer from Hu Xiaoxiao's stall to help him garner votes.

This series of actions left Feng Junhao, who was in charge of setting up the stalls, completely bewildered. What were his rivals doing? Were they trying to sabotage the stalls? This is a district councilor election, not a triad fight for leadership. They're trying to sabotage the stalls in broad daylight?

"Why are you taking our flags and leaflets?" Feng Junhao stopped Zhang Rongguang, trying to snatch back the leaflets.

Zhang Rongguang patted Feng Junhao on the shoulder in a friendly manner and said, "Don't be nervous. I came here specifically to help Miss Hu campaign for votes. We're on the same side."

"In cahoots?" Feng Junhao asked with a look that said, "Do you believe me or not?"

Are you kidding me? You're a candidate yourself, clearly an adversary, a competitor!

There must be a conspiracy!

It's still an extremely despicable and shameless conspiracy!

He must be trying to throw our flyers and banners in the trash, leaving us with nothing to advertise!

Zhang Rongguang demonstrated his sincerity through his actions. He took a flyer and handed it to a passing resident, saying, "Auntie, remember to vote for Miss Hu Xiaoxiao. Miss Hu Xiaoxiao is beautiful and kind-hearted, and she will surely lead Dafang Community to a bright future..."

Feng Junhao stood to the side, watching strangely for a while. Although Zhang Rongguang seemed to be really campaigning for Hu Xiaoxiao, he always felt that there was a conspiracy involved!

He walked to a phone booth, called Hu Xiaoxiao, and told her everything about Zhang Rongguang's unusual behavior: "Miss Hu, I will keep a close eye on him and won't let him have a chance to ruin us!"

Hu Xiaoxiao was surprised that Zhang Rongguang was so understanding. She said, "He must be sincere. I'm friends with Zhang Rongguang now. It's normal for friends to help each other. You don't need to worry about what he does. Just tell him thank you for me."

Feng Junhao found it even more outrageous. When did Hu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Rongguang become friends? They were at each other's throats yesterday, and now the situation has completely changed?

He put down the phone in a daze; the world was changing too fast, and he could no longer keep up.

Over there, after deciding to withdraw, Zhang Rongguang had another plan: he decided to make Hu Xiaoxiao owe him a huge favor.

So he took Hu Xiaoxiao's flyer to the Zhang family's residence, handed one to a cousin, and said, "Uncle, remember to vote for Hu Xiaoxiao in the district council election, don't get it wrong."

My uncle took the flyer and casually said, "I know, I'll vote for you. You've said it a million times, I'm sick of hearing it."

Upon closer inspection of the flyer, I realized it belonged to Hu Xiaoxiao.

Uncle scolded Zhang Rongguang, saying, "You even got the flyers wrong! Why did you give me Hu Xiaoxiao's flyer? It's all so irrelevant!"

"I'm not mistaken, I'm asking you to vote for Hu Xiaoxiao, but I'll vote for her myself."

Uncle stared at Zhang Rongguang as if he'd seen a ghost: "You're going to vote for Hu Xiaoxiao? And even campaign for her? Are you possessed?"

My uncle quickly turned around, called his wife out, and exclaimed, "Go quickly and pick some pomelo leaves to ward off evil spirits!"

Auntie hurriedly came out of the house and asked what was wrong. Uncle told her that Zhang Rongguang wanted to vote for Hu Xiaoxiao and was even campaigning for her.

When Zhang Rongguang saw that his aunt also thought he was possessed and was about to pick pomelo leaves, he stopped her and said, "Listen to me, there's a reason why I voted for Hu Xiaoxiao. Please tell me the reason."

"Tell me about it," said the uncle and aunt, who clearly believed that Zhang Rongguang was possessed by an evil spirit.

Zhang Rongguang cleared his throat and said, "I'm doing this for the sake of Dafang Community and the future of our village. Although I also really want to be a district councilor, after careful consideration, I think Hu Xiaoxiao is more suitable than me. Think about it, before Hu Xiaoxiao ran for district councilor, she did so many good things for our community. If she runs, she will definitely seek more and more benefits for our community in order to achieve her goals."

"Is that so?" My uncle and aunt were skeptical. "When did you become such a kind person?"

He was clearly the most dishonest and most manipulative person in the entire family.

Zhang Rongguang said righteously and sternly, "I am a native of Dafang Community. As long as it is for the good of the community and for the good of all the uncles and aunts, what does it matter if I suffer a little grievance? As long as my sacrifice is worthwhile, I am willing to give up all my interests to seek the greatest benefit for the community and the village."

Zhang Rongguang's uncle and aunt seemed to be meeting him for the first time. "Are you serious?"

“Real! Realer than pearls! I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m going to talk to the other uncles and brothers and make sure they remember to vote for Hu Xiaoxiao on election day for the future of the community.” Zhang Rongguang left in a hurry.

The uncle and aunt exchanged a glance, and the uncle asked, "Do you believe it or not?"

My aunt turned and walked towards the neighbor's house. My uncle asked her, "Where are you going?"

My aunt said, "Go to Amei's house. There's a pomelo tree behind her house. I'll pick some pomelo leaves to boil in water for Aguang to bathe in and ward off evil spirits!"
