Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Lin Qianyou said sincerely, "Lily made a very good point just now: Miss Hong Kong comes every year. After this year, when new girls come next year, how many people will still remember us?"

Privately, some entertainment companies have contacted Lin Qianyou. She was a hot prospect from the start, and two entertainment companies secretly approached her.

But neither Lin Qianyou herself nor her family agreed to her going into the film industry.

If Hu Xiaoxiao had connections, Lin Qianyou wouldn't have advised her against it, but she knew that Hu Xiaoxiao was new to Baogang and unfamiliar with the place. With such a background, it would be difficult for her to survive in the film industry, and she could easily become cannon fodder.

“You’re absolutely right. But I don’t like being confined; I love freedom.” Hu Xiaoxiao sat lazily in her chair and laughed.

Lin Qianyou told her, "Freedom comes at a price."

Don't you think that's more challenging?

"You—" Lin Qianyou looked at Hu Xiaoxiao, her fighting spirit burning like a flame. And like a flame, it seemed that nothing in the world could not burn her to ashes.

Just standing next to her, you feel warmed by her heat.

She thought of Hu Xiaoxiao from the beginning. In the preliminary round, Hu Xiaoxiao only had a good appearance, but didn't have much else to offer.

But with continuous selection and learning, Hu Xiaoxiao's growth was like a bamboo shoot breaking through the soil; in the time it takes for a heavy rain to make her grow to a height that Hu Xiaoxiao could only look up to.

Maybe--

Perhaps she can create a miracle?

So Lin Qianyou stopped trying to persuade her and said, "If the unit contract doesn't go through and you change your mind, I'll plead with Linda, and then you can go through the management contract process."

This can be considered a fallback plan.

"Thank you for your kindness." Hu Xiaoxiao finished packing her things, walked up to Lin Qianyou, and said, "I know Linda values ​​you a lot, but before you achieve the results Linda wants, it's best not to test her patience. I've inquired about the situation inside the TV station, and it's a very complex place. Linda has many people working under her, and the competition is quite fierce."

Only those who are valuable can do whatever they want.

"I know. When I watch TV dramas on Baogang TV, I see that many of the famous young actresses are Linda's people. I will cherish this opportunity and act well," Lin Qianyou said with a smile, sensing Hu Xiaoxiao's good intentions.

Hu Xiaoxiao's time spent training at the TV station wasn't wasted. She said, "A well-behaved girl like you with a scholarly air is very rare in the entire TV station. You also have a lot of audience appeal, so you don't have to worry about not having resources."

"Linda told me the same thing." Lin Qianyou finished her makeup, packed her things, and went out with Hu Xiaoxiao.

The staff from the program department had all finished work, and the two women, along with several staff members, drove to the hotel where the celebration banquet would be held that night.

After arriving at the hotel, Lin Qianyou was called away by Linda's assistant, while Hu Xiaoxiao went to the restaurant alone.

At the restaurant entrance, she saw Faye directing people, walked over, and asked, "Everyone's off work, why are you still busy?"

Faye was extremely busy. Hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's voice, she turned around and said, "Congratulations, Miss Hu! You were really amazing tonight! Please go and take a seat. The champion's seat is with the higher-ups. I'll take you there."

Hu Xiaoxiao glanced into the restaurant; many seats were still empty, less than a third were occupied. "No need to rush, I see many people haven't arrived yet. By the way, besides the TV station staff, will they invite anyone else to the celebration banquet?"

"Yes, we have invited all the prominent people in the audience tonight. As for whether they will come or how many will come, I don't know."

Will sponsors and advertisers come?

"Yes, they'll be there tonight too, and they're also clients of the company, so of course we'll invite them. They usually attend banquets as well."

Hu Xiaoxiao then asked Fei Yi to show her the seats for sponsors and advertisers.

Seeing that it was a small matter, Fei pointed it out to Hu Xiaoxiao and considerately told her which sponsors and advertisers would be coming.

Hu Xiaoxiao thanked Fei Yi and went to the beverage section to get Fei Yi's favorite Ovaltine to soothe her throat.

Then Hu Xiaoxiao went to the snack area, where she ate something to fill her hungry stomach while keeping an eye on the tables of sponsors and advertisers.

Unlike Hu Xiaoxiao, the other contestants were busy dealing with the TV station's staff, especially the management.

Only Hu Xiaoxiao took an unconventional approach.

The two advertisers she had her eye on arrived.

Hu Xiaoxiao immediately put down her snacks, went to the washroom, checked her makeup with a small mirror, and then took out the most fragrant rose hand cream from the magnolia brand from her bag. She applied a thick layer to her hands, ensuring that the fragrance could be smelled from ten steps away.

Then, looking in the mirror, she smoothed her long, shiny hair.

Then she went back to the drinks section, grabbed a glass of juice, and walked past the two advertisers.

With a seemingly unintentional glance back, her beautiful long hair traced a graceful arc as she turned her head.

Under the restaurant lights, her hair was black and shiny, like black silk.

Pan Rou's advertising representative noticed her immediately, his eyes lighting up: he hadn't expected that Hu Xiaoxiao's hair looked even better up close than he had seen on TV, and even more beautiful than he had seen on stage.

He immediately raised his hand to greet Hu Xiaoxiao, "Congratulations, Miss Hu Xiaoxiao! Congratulations!"

Hu Xiaoxiao looked at her with feigned surprise, "Thank you. Which department director are you? I don't think I've seen you before."

“I am not an employee of the TV station, but He Wen from Pan Rou’s company.”

"Oh! It's Mr. He from Pan Rou's company? Nice to meet you!" Hu Xiaoxiao smiled warmly and walked over to him, offering him a glass of juice instead of wine. "Mr. He, I really like your company's products. I usually use Pan Rou's shampoo and conditioner."

This made He Wen very happy. "Miss Hu's hair is so beautiful, is it because you're using our company's products?"

"Yes, people always ask me what brand of shampoo and conditioner I use, and I always honestly tell them that I use Panro. Your company's products are very good, and many families in Baogang use them."

Ji Lihua from Hongyulan Company, who was sitting next to her, smelled a familiar fragrance and, after searching carefully, found it on Hu Xiaoxiao.

Ji Lihua was quite surprised and asked, "Ms. Hu, is the hand cream you're using the magnolia rose scent?"

Hu Xiaoxiao was extremely surprised again, "How did you know?"

Ji Lihua smiled and said, "It's a new product from our company, so of course I'm familiar with it. I didn't expect Ms. Hu to like our company's product."

“I not only love this scented hand cream, but I also especially love using the magnolia face cream. My skin relies entirely on it for maintenance.” Hu Xiaoxiao took out the nearly empty magnolia face cream jar from her bag and showed it to Ji Lihua. “Look, it’s almost empty again. I’ll have to buy more tomorrow.”
