Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Despite the efforts of the organizers and the Hong Kong government to cover up the alleged trade between the international jewelry exhibition and thieves, the news still spread like wildfire.

Liang Jiafeng was struggling to come up with ideas for the third installment of "The Inspector Wears Skirts of Baogang," unable to find any material or inspiration. Upon learning of this, he had a sudden inspiration and immediately went to Hu Xiaoxiao to inquire about the details of the international jewelry exhibition.

"You want to use the events at the international jewelry exhibition as material to write the script for the third part?" Hu Xiaoxiao wondered if it was feasible.

Liang Jiafeng explained his idea to Hu Xiaoxiao: "The protagonist, Yunxiao, is based on Sister Xiao's image. The story involves a jewelry exhibition where thieves have infiltrated to steal jewelry. Madam Yunxiao is tasked with a dangerous mission: to disguise herself as a model and enter the exhibition, engaging in various exciting battles of wits and courage with the thieves. To facilitate the participation of our company's artists, I'm considering changing the international jewelry exhibition to the Baogang Jewelry Exhibition, reducing the presence of foreign characters..."

Liang Jiafeng's thoughts flowed like a spring, and he became more and more excited as he spoke. This subject matter, coupled with the rumors of the jewelry exhibition, was bound to be another box office hit.

Hong Kong has a lot of crime, so there's no shortage of material or audience for crime films. With the huge success of the first two films, the third film's base will be very solid.

Hu Xiaoxiao thought it was feasible, but Jingfang made a huge mistake during the international jewelry exhibition, even infiltrating ICPO, which was a scandal. "Give me a few days to think about it."

While saying she was considering it, Hu Xiaoxiao actually planned to ask Steven's opinion. Steven was in charge of security for the jewelry exhibition, and as a friend, she definitely wanted to let him know first.

Another reason is that she is a legislator, and she had worked hard to restore Baogang's reputation at the International Jewelry Fair. How to make this film maximize its benefits? It should not only add a splendid page to her legislative resume, but also further enhance Baogang's image through the film, at least increasing the confidence of Baogang citizens.

The Legislative Council elections are about to begin, and Hu Xiaoxiao is ambitious and determined to become a member of the first Legislative Council of the new Hong Kong government.

Just then, Steven's matter finally came to an end, and he called to invite Hu Xiaoxiao to dinner.

The two met at their usual spot, ordered food, and had tea. They then started talking about the wrap-up work for the international jewelry exhibition.

"I've heard a lot of inside stories about the jewelry exhibition," Hu Xiaoxiao said. "The problems that went wrong weren't your fault at all, but I didn't expect you to have to take the blame in the end."

As someone who participated in the jewelry show and was familiar with the people at Quanfu Jewelry, Hu Xiaoxiao knew more inside information than others.

Hu Xiaoxiao felt sorry for Steven. Those foreign high-ranking officials interfered recklessly, allowing the ICPO mole to take advantage of the situation. Not only did they steal the deployment map, but they also locked the command room from the inside. The ICPO mole, in collusion with various thief gangs, created such a huge blunder, yet the foreigners who interfered and messed things up got away scot-free, and Steven took all the blame.

Steven had calmed down and said, "Fortunately, with your help, we were able to recover a lot of losses, which can be considered as making amends."

In Baogang, the upper echelons are mostly managed by foreigners, and no matter how high Steven's position is, he has to obey their orders. Even if he is dissatisfied, Steven can only endure it.

“It’ll be fine once those foreigners leave.” Hu Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea and said to Steven, “Steven, you better work harder and become the first number one in the new Hong Kong government. Then you’ll be in charge of everything.”

"Thank you for your kind words." Steven was naturally an ambitious man, and besides, his abilities were the best among his colleagues. "You helped me this time, and I have reported your contribution to the authorities."

Hu Xiaoxiao listened with a smile. With Jing Fang's records as proof, her resume would look even better.

Steven laughed along; he could tell that Hu Xiaoxiao was quite ambitious. "I know people in the Legislative Council. If you want to run for a seat, I can help you garner votes."

Hu Xiaoxiao wasn't one to stand on ceremony. She wouldn't say things like "I'm so sorry" or "Won't this be too much trouble for you?" She simply said, "Then it's settled."

Every vote she can get increases her chances of success, so why should she be polite? Isn't this the time to use friends and relationships? Isn't this the time to bother them?

Steven nodded with a smile, without telling Hu Xiaoxiao that he knew about her ambition when he learned she was running for district councilor, and had already been keeping an eye on her connections there.

After dinner, Hu Xiaoxiao talked to Steven about the filming of the third installment of "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts".

"...Jingfang will definitely feel it's bad for their image and won't be willing to cooperate, but that's okay. The film will be artistically embellished, beautifying some aspects. For example, originally it was their oversight that allowed the thieves to take advantage of the situation, but our script will change it so that Jingfang takes the initiative and deliberately falls into the trap to lure the thieves out..."

In short, all the loopholes they exposed were portrayed as Jing Fang's strategic planning and that everything was under control.

Steven was drinking tea when he heard this and accidentally choked on his tea, saying, "No need to exaggerate, everyone knows what's going on."

Hu Xiaoxiao disagreed, saying, "When you say 'everyone,' you mean a small group of people in the know, but most people are unaware. Films are media, and their propaganda effect is significant. Even if there are some negative aspects, positive guidance is still needed. Once the public loses confidence in the Hong Kong government, your future security management will face significant challenges. Moreover, regarding the International Jewellery Show, you were fighting against several forces. Baogang is a small place, and achieving this result is already remarkable. Otherwise, the ICPO wouldn't have specifically commended you, and Baogang's reputation in the international community wouldn't have suffered any damage."

A warm feeling welled up in Steven's heart. He knew all too well that Hu Xiaoxiao wanted to help him. "Have the screenwriter bring over the script outline. If there are no problems, then Jingfang will cooperate with you in filming."

Hu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. "The screenwriter is already writing it and will bring it to you in a few days."

With Jingfang's cooperation, the scene will be even bigger, and the final result will be even better.

With Steven's help, the film quickly gained support, and Hu Xiaoxiao immediately began preparations.

The film is set against the backdrop of a jewelry exhibition, and it will showcase a great many pieces of jewelry. However, the international jewelry exhibition has already ended, many jewelers have left, and it's impossible to find any jewelry materials.

To showcase the effect of a jewelry exhibition, you have to figure out how to build your own jewelry showroom for filming. Fortunately, the background was changed to the Baogang Jewelry Exhibition instead of an international jewelry exhibition, so it doesn't matter if the jewelry is of slightly lower quality.

Hu Xiaoxiao's first thought was of the jewelry she had collected over the years. When she went back and took stock of it, she was shocked to find that she had so much jewelry that it could fill an entire exhibition hall.
