Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Pan Yanji laughed: "If you can't be praised, who can praise you, Young Master Xie? All the spendthrifts in the entire Baogang area combined don't even amount to one-tenth of Young Master Xie's extravagance. I wonder if Mr. Xie would rather have another daughter than give birth to a traitor like you if he knew what you've done."

Xie Zhiheng was furious and was about to retaliate when Hu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting to the side, understood what was going on and said, "Every cloud has a silver lining. Young Master Pan, you're laughing too soon."

Pan Yanji turned his gaze to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Miss Hu Xiaoxiao is indeed as rumored, the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong. However, I think you are very beautiful, but unfortunately you are a femme fatale."

Hu Xiaoxiao disagreed with him, saying, "I'm a lucky star. You should worry about yourself first."

"Yeah, worry about yourself. Instead of wasting time whining here, why don't you go back and see how many more illegitimate children your dad has given you?" Xie Zhiheng said sarcastically. "With your dad being such a womanizer, I wonder if you'll end up with a stepmother when you're chasing after girls."

"Go ahead and be arrogant, let's see how long you can keep it up." Pan Yanji waved to Xie Zhiheng, laughing as he walked away. "I'm going back to celebrate first, Young Master Xie. Once my grand commercial city in Fu'an is finished, you're welcome to come and spend your money. By the way, if you have any extra milk or beef, I can help you sell it. Wait, you're building a golf course, I'll patronize it then, I love playing golf, hahaha—"

Xie Zhiheng became even angrier.

I was not only angry, but also worried; it seemed he had really gotten into trouble.

What should we do? Should we go to Europe to hide again?

Lost in thought, Xie Zhiheng didn't even notice what Hu Xiaoxiao was saying to him. He stumbled and staggered away from the auction house.

A gust of autumn wind blew, carrying with it a chill that made Xie Zhiheng shiver. He immediately drove off, intending to go to his brother-in-law's house to hide for a while.

News of what happened at the auction reached Xie's father as soon as it ended.

Hu Xiaoxiao had just come out of the TV station when a black van stopped in front of her, blocking her way.

The car door opened, and four burly men with tattoos stepped out, surrounded her, and said in a cold voice, "Miss Hu, Mr. Xie invites you to get in the car."

Xie Sheng? Xie Zhiheng's father?

Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at the four burly men. They had fierce faces, exuded a murderous aura, and faintly revealed a bloodthirsty scent. Hu Xiaoxiao guessed that all four of them had blood on their hands.

"Wait a minute, I need to buy something." Hu Xiaoxiao walked towards the fruit shop next to the TV station building.

The four men moved aside, blocking her path again, and said coldly, "Miss Hu, please get in the car obediently, otherwise, we won't show you any mercy."

His eyes were fierce, as if he was about to make a move.

Hu Xiaoxiao's expression remained unchanged. She simply pointed to the TV station building and said, "This is Ji Sheng's territory. Are you sure you want to cause trouble here?"

"That depends on whether Miss Hu knows what's good for her and whether she'll put us in a difficult position."

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. It's just some fruit. I have some connection with Young Master Xie. His father invited me, and this is my first time visiting. I should bring some fruit, right? Otherwise, it would be a bit impolite."

Having lived in Baogang for so long, she has learned a great deal about interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

The four men were stunned. Whenever Xie Sheng sent the four of them, not to mention women, even tall and strong men would go weak at the sight of them. This seemingly delicate and frail woman was not afraid of them at all? Not only was she not afraid, but she even said she wanted to buy fruit for Xie Sheng?

Did she really think that Xie Sheng invited her as a guest?

Is it carefree or just too naive?

Hu Xiaoxiao had already arrived at the fruit shop, selected two pounds of fresh tangerines, a bunch of ripe bananas, and two pounds of imported apples, filled two bags, and paid the bill.

Carrying the fruit, she got into the car and chose a comfortable seat by the window. Then Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the four burly men standing outside, "Didn't you say Xie Sheng wanted to see me? Why aren't you leaving?"

The four men then came to their senses, hurriedly climbed into the car, and told the driver to start driving immediately.

Inside the car, the way they looked at Hu Xiaoxiao was a little strange.

The car took Hu Xiaoxiao to the Xie family's villa halfway up the mountain. It was getting late, and the western mountaintops were bathed in the orange glow of the sunset.

Hu Xiaoxiao got out of the car carrying the fruit, handed it to the butler who came to greet her, and said apologetically, "This is my first time visiting, and I didn't know what kind of fruit Mr. Xie likes, so I bought some common fruits. I hope Mr. Xie won't think I was being impolite."

The housekeeper originally intended to give Hu Xiaoxiao a hard time, but unexpectedly received two bags of fruit first.

They seem quite polite.

The housekeeper, carrying two bags of fruit, followed behind Hu Xiaoxiao, still somewhat dazed.

The Xie family's living room was decorated in an antique style, with all the furniture made of rosewood and quite old.

The furniture, being older, was dark in color, and because it was evening and the lighting was insufficient, the living room was even darker without the lights on.

After Hu Xiaoxiao sat down, she thought she would see Mr. Xie, but after waiting for a long time, no one came.

She turned on a desk lamp next to her and took out a notebook from her bag. It was a collection of acting training courses she had borrowed from previous trainees.

Hu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and began to look through the pages, pondering as she read and recalling the performances of the actors in the production crew, trying to thoroughly understand the knowledge.

As night fell, Xie Lisheng, leaning on his black cane, slowly walked down from upstairs.

As he walked down, all the lights in the living room were turned on, illuminating the room.

Hu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw clearly the appearance of this famous tycoon from Baogang. He looked very much like Xie Zhiheng, but he was less unrestrained and more serious and profound.

Hu Xiaoxiao stood up and said politely, "You must be Xie Sheng? I've heard so much about you!"

Xie Lisheng walked into the living room, stared at Hu Xiaoxiao for a few moments with a gloomy expression, then sat down in the main seat. His gaze, now cold, fell on Hu Xiaoxiao again. "You are Hu Xiaoxiao?"

“That’s right. May I ask what brings you here, Mr. Xie?” Hu Xiaoxiao asked as she sat down.

"I heard you're dating my son?"

"That's not true. I'm not interested in dating, and I'm just friends with Young Master Xie."

Xie Lisheng sneered: "Just a friend? A friend dared to spend millions of my son's money?"

Hu Xiaoxiao corrected him, saying, "I have not spent a single penny of your son's money. The millions you mentioned, are you referring to the donations? Young Master Xie is kind-hearted, a good person, and compassionate towards the weak. He has made outstanding contributions to the charitable cause in Baogang."

Mr. Xie, please rest assured that every single donation is under the supervision of designated personnel, ensuring it reaches those truly in need. The Xie family's support for charitable causes will surely be rewarded.
