Chapter 21 Business Value

"Hello everyone, I am contestant No. 23 Hu Xiaoxiao. I hope you will support me. Thank you." A very short self-introduction.

The entire screen is filled with long wavy hair, beautiful, good-looking long hair, but the camera shot looks very natural.

The cameraman is very professional. Whether it is the angle used, the white space left in the lens, or the language of the lens, it is all first-class.

Hu Xiaoxiao was very satisfied; the effect was just what she wanted.

But, even if I am satisfied, what do others think?

Hu Xiaoxiao held his chin and thought for a while, then went to bed early.

I got up early the next day, practiced singing, and ran to the teahouse to meet the old uncle and aunt for morning tea.

"Uncle, grandma, did you watch the self-introductions of the beauties last night?" Hu Xiaoxiao had just entered the teahouse and had not yet taken a seat when he asked several elderly people for their opinions.

"I see, they are all so beautiful." Grandma Zhou asked the waiter to bring boiling water and a basin to heat the bowls.

Hu Xiaoxiao sat down immediately and asked again: "Grandma, what about me? Have you seen me?"

Xu Bo was amused by Hu Xiaoxiao's eagerness and said, "I saw it. She was sitting in front of the TV waiting before the show even started. As soon as she saw you appear, she called the whole family over to watch."

Hu Xiaoxiao said happily: "Thank you grandma for liking me. I'll treat you to morning tea today."

She then asked Grandma Zhou, "Grandma, what do you think of my little sample?"

"She's pretty, very beautiful. I think Axiao is the prettiest among all the beauties." Grandma Zhou smiled and praised.

Besides being pretty, is there nothing else to it? Hu Xiaoxiao felt a little disappointed.

Mr. Huang also watched the show last night and asked Hu Xiaoxiao, "Why is your self-introduction so short? Why didn't you say a few more words?"

Hu Xiaoxiao was like an eggplant hit by frost. "Maybe I'm not good at speaking."

"It's okay. You'll learn it if you practice more. If you can sing well, you can definitely improve your eloquence as well." Uncle Li comforted her.

Hu Xiaoxiao was not comforted.

She took the kettle of boiling water brought by the waiter, brought over everyone's bowls and chopsticks, and prepared to boil the bowls.

After the waiter brought the kettle, he didn't leave. Instead, he stood beside Hu Xiaoxiao, looking at her thick, long, black hair with envy, and asked, "Ms. Hu, what brand of shampoo do you use?"

Hu Xiaoxiao's drooping expression suddenly brightened up again. "Do you think my hair looks good?"

The waiter nodded and said, "Yes, it's very beautiful. I watched the show last night, and the thing that impressed me most was your hair. I'm so envious. I wonder what shampoo Miss Hu uses to wash it?"

"Pan Rou." Hu Xiaoxiao said, "I use Pan Rou shampoo."

After the waiter left, the old lady and uncle followed and asked, "Are you really using Pan Rou? Is this brand really that good?"

Hu Xiaoxiao just smiled and said nothing.

Grandma Zhou said, "Ah Xiao, your hair is really beautiful. It looks even better than in shampoo commercials. When I read your self-introduction, I thought you were the spokesperson for a shampoo commercial. Ah Xiao, you will definitely sell well in shampoo commercials in the future."

Hu Xiaoxiao kept nodding: She thought so too.

Hu Xiaoxiao's confidence rose again.

She picked up the chopsticks and quickly ate the zhu hou jin qian tripe and steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce.

When Grandma Zhou saw him, she said, "Eat slowly and don't choke. You still have two hours before work starts. You still have time."

Uncle Huang also said, "Yes, they are freshly steamed. Be careful not to burn yourself if you eat too quickly."

"I'm in a hurry. I have something important to do later."

Hu Xiaoxiao hurriedly finished a bowl of fish porridge and a serving of salted dumplings, then picked up the bill for everyone at the table.

Grandma Zhou said, "Put the bill aside. I'll treat you to a meal today."

Hu Xiaoxiao had already stood up and left. "Next time, grandma will treat me to chicken next time."

"Okay, when you win the championship, I'll invite you to an old restaurant to eat boiled chicken." Grandma Zhou said with a smile.

After paying the bill, Hu Xiaoxiao went to a nearby supermarket.

The big supermarket has a complete range of goods, and Hu Xiaoxiao wants to buy everything every time he comes here to shop.

Every time she came to the supermarket, she felt that her wallet was too thin and the road to making money was long and far.

Hu Xiaoxiao pulled a shopping cart out from the door and walked towards his destination.

In the toiletries section, Hu Xiaoxiao picked up a bottle of Panrou shampoo and conditioner. He then looked at other brands of shampoo and conditioner, but none were as extensively displayed as this brand.

Most of the shelves were filled with this brand's shampoo and conditioner, with a wide variety of functions, such as anti-dandruff, repair, oil control, and so on.

Hu Xiaoxiao pushed the cart to the skin care products area again.

As soon as she saw the brand Red Magnolia, which had the most advertisements and the most extensive displays, she bought all of its face creams, lotions, face masks, and hand creams.

Then she stood in front of the shelf and examined other brands.

She found that the most popular category of skin care products in the area was those with whitening functions.

With an idea in mind, Hu Xiaoxiao picked up all kinds of whitening masks, creams, etc. and filled up most of the car.

Finally, I went to the protective area and bought a few sun-proof hats and a sun umbrella.

When she checked out, she filled several large bags with stuff and spent all the money she had earned from teaching dance.

After taking it home, there was still an hour before leaving for the TV station, so Hu Xiaoxiao opened the package, washed her face and started applying a whitening mask.

Lying on the sofa with a facial mask on, she memorized the functions of various products, especially the advertising slogans.

After applying the mask, Hu Xiaoxiao felt that her makeup went on much smoother, and her face in the mirror looked whiter and more radiant.

It would look even better on camera.

Hu Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with the effect.

Wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat and carrying a bag, Hu Xiaoxiao went to the TV station to start work.

The song chosen for performance this Saturday is the disco-style "monica". Compared to the slow-paced "The Little Rain in March", this disco song is more difficult to sing and dance.

In order to make it easier for the contestants to learn, the program department specially set aside a spacious stage for them to rehearse.

Hu Xiaoxiao hasn't practiced singing for long, so she doesn't stand out among the other contestants. But dancing, especially disco, is her comfort zone.

During this rehearsal, Hu Xiaoxiao danced so easily, naturally and beautifully that even the dance teacher praised her highly.

Charlie watched backstage for a long time, nodded secretly, and when the beauties were resting, he called Hu Xiaoxiao to the office upstairs.

"Xiaoxiao, you've worked hard, right? Come, have some tea first." Charlie personally poured a cup of tea for Hu Xiaoxiao, very approachable. "I watched your rehearsal just now. You danced very well. If you can get the center position and give you more shots during the performance, you will have a great chance of winning in the finals."

Hu Xiaoxiao took the tea from Charlie and thanked him.

Hu Xiaoxiao has lived in Hong Kong for quite some time, often watches TV, and is good at studying. She can already understand the implicit meaning behind Charlie's advances and words.
