Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s
Chapter 77 A Small Fire
This was the first time Xie Lisheng had heard his son praised for his kindness and good character. These words sounded so foreign and didn't seem to be referring to his spendthrift son at all. He slammed his cane down heavily on the floor, making a dull thud. "Good reward? You tricked my son into losing 2 million, and this is what you call good reward?"
"So that's what it is." After understanding Xie Sheng's purpose in inviting her over, Hu Xiaoxiao did not hide anything and explained to him, "You mean the land in Liantangling? That's a good piece of land, you won't lose money buying it. I did suggest that Young Master Xie buy it. Young Master Xie is also very decisive and bought it on the spot."
Xie Lisheng touched his chest; it hurt a little.
Manager Guo had already told him what had happened. Hearing that Hu Xiaoxiao spoke so lightly about losing 2 million, even the richest man in Baogang was so angry that his chest felt tight and painful.
Hu Xiaoxiao then explained to Xie Lisheng, "I told Young Master Xie not to buy that piece of land in Nilongkeng. That land is not a good place; it has too much yin energy. Buying it will affect your luck and bring bad fortune."
"What do you mean by 'too much yin energy'? That's just nonsense."
"If Mr. Xie doesn't believe it, just wait and see what happens when the Pan family starts construction. Once they start digging, something bad is bound to happen."
Perhaps Hu Xiaoxiao spoke with too much certainty and confidence, Xie Lisheng's grip on his cane tightened slightly, and he glanced around subtly. "You mean, that piece of land is haunted?"
I don't know if there are ghosts or not, but perhaps we can ask someone with spiritual abilities to take a look.
"You have quite a few tricks up your sleeve to deceive people, no wonder my son fell for your scheme." Xie Lisheng said angrily, thinking Hu Xiaoxiao was talking nonsense.
Hu Xiaoxiao remained calm and said, "Xie Sheng, I'm not lying to anyone. Time will tell. You can wait with peace of mind. If the Pan family breaks ground one day and nothing happens to them, then you can come and cause me trouble."
I'm currently in Baogang. Even if I were to deceive you, I could only fool you for a day, not a year. 2 million is no small sum, and I know how hard it is to earn money; I wouldn't try to cheat Mr. Xie. Besides, I hope your Xie family can become even wealthier and make greater contributions to charity in the future.”
It is better to give money to those with a kind heart than to those who are unwilling to do charity.
"Miss Hu, do you know that no one in Baogang has ever dared to mess with the Xie family?"
"Of course I know that in Baogang, without means and connections, it is impossible to gain a foothold. Xie Sheng is able to thrive in Baogang and become one of the richest people. Without outstanding skills and ruthless methods, he would not have achieved what he has today."
"You know it is good that you know. I don't think you want to know the consequences of playing tricks on the Xie family, especially for a woman. The cruelty is beyond your imagination."
"I have always had a clear conscience." Hu Xiaoxiao looked directly at Xie Lisheng calmly.
Her gaze was too frank and too confident, which dispelled some of Xie Lisheng's original plans.
He loosened his grip on the cane and then stroked the smooth tip of the cane.
His deep gaze swept over Hu Xiaoxiao again, and after a long while, he said, "I'll let you off the hook today. You can go now."
"Okay, let's talk again another time." Hu Xiaoxiao packed up her notes, put them back in her bag, stood up, and said goodbye to Xie Lisheng.
Stepping out of the Xie family villa, it was already dark outside, and the night wind was noticeably chilly.
When Hu Xiaoxiao arrived at the spot where she had gotten off the bus, there wasn't a single car in sight. She looked around but couldn't find the car that was supposed to take her away.
The villa was built on a mountain, and it took almost an hour to drive there from where she lived.
Hu Xiaoxiao walked back to the Xie family villa and found Xie Lisheng, who was still sitting in the main seat deep in thought. She said, "Mr. Xie, has your driver gone off duty? Why didn't he wait for me?"
Xie Lisheng looked up at Hu Xiaoxiao with a slightly puzzled expression.
Hu Xiaoxiao said, "He brought me here, and now that I'm leaving, I don't know where he's gone."
Xie Lisheng stared intently at Hu Xiaoxiao for a while, then whispered, "Old Li, take Miss Hu home."
Butler Li looked at his master with surprise: "Aren't you going to teach him a lesson?"
You've offended the Xie family; the fact that they let you leave on foot is already a mercy. Now, you want a driver to take you back?
Xie Lisheng had already closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind.
Butler Li had no choice but to say, "Miss Hu, please wait a moment, I will arrange a driver right away."
The TV series "All the Way With You" aired on Baogang TV at noon, but the television response was lukewarm. However, Hu Xiaoxiao's cameo role became a minor hit among students.
Her image and attire were exquisite and beautiful, with fashionable and unique accessories that incorporated current popular elements, perfectly matching the sense of style that Baogang residents pursue.
Because her character is a student, and her outfit is inexpensive and affordable for students, it sparked a trend of imitation.
The hats, clothes, and shoes worn by Hu Xiaoxiao in the drama all sold out quickly, boosting the business of Baogang Garment Factory.
The bracelets she wore were especially popular, and students followed suit and bought them. They also learned to disassemble them and reassemble them into unique items, which was both meaningful and fulfilling, and they became a hit on campus.
Although it was a small-scale success, some discerning businesses recognized Hu Xiaoxiao's fashionable qualities and came to discuss cooperation.
Ah Wei found Hu Xiaoxiao and said, "Quanfu Jewelry Company wants to ask you to shoot some posters for promotion. You have to do a good job shooting them. Quanfu Jewelry Company is very famous in Baogang. If the promotion is effective, you will have the opportunity to become their spokesperson."
His company is known for its generous endorsement fees. Furthermore, securing an endorsement from them significantly boosts your commercial value, allowing the company to further increase your market value when accepting future endorsements.
When it comes to making money, Hu Xiaoxiao will definitely go all out.
Quanfu Jewelry Company asked Hu Xiaoxiao to promote a platinum tassel earring, but sales were not very good. They asked Hu Xiaoxiao to promote it because her outfit had become a hit, and they were just testing the waters of the market.
Compared to the other endorsements Hu Xiaoxiao had taken on, the promotional fee offered by Quanfu Company was incomparable, as it was a small promotion and far inferior to the status of a full-fledged endorsement. However, Hu Xiaoxiao did not slack off at all, and carefully selected makeup, hairstyle and clothes to match the earrings.
She tried on more than a dozen outfits and finally chose a low-cut dress that could fully display her earrings.
The hairstylist did several hairstyles for me, and I tried on different earrings one by one, patiently selecting the one that would look best in the photos.
Her long, wavy hair was loosely pinned up, creating a natural and casual elegance.
The black low-cut dress perfectly showcased her fair, slender, and beautifully curved neck.
Wearing tassel earrings from Quanfu Jewelry, she tilted her head slightly to the side, the tassels drooping gently, exuding a serene and refined elegance.
The photographer kept pressing the shutter button, marveling that he could be sure every single one of his shots was a masterpiece without even waiting for the final prints.
