Chapter 224: Rare Sentiment

"Good evening, everyone! Welcome to our annual Starry Night Anniversary Celebration. Unlike previous years, this year marks the anniversary of T.O.T. Hong Kong. Unknowingly, T.O.T. has been with the people of T.O.T. for so many years. Since its inception, T.O.T. has been dedicated to producing dramas and programs, which have been well received by all sectors of society..."

On the stage, RT-Mart's mainstay emcee Chen Jinchu began his opening remarks.

The actors of "The Bund" were hurriedly preparing to go on stage. Jiang Yu was adjusting his headset, while Yuna and Xia Lu were busy touching up their makeup in front of the mirror.

Hu Xiaoxiao held up her Roman curls with both hands. She had just sprayed hairspray on them and was afraid that the style would fall apart, so she kept asking Song Yanan beside her to keep an eye on the back of her hair to see if it was messy.

Song Yan'an agreed while busy helping the staff maintain order.

In short, backstage was bustling with activity. Some were preparing to go on stage, some were waiting to go, and some were about to go on stage. With so many programs and guests, today was even more lively than Chinese New Year.

When the emcee announced the performance of the "The Bund Storm" crew, everyone backstage immediately packed up, took their positions, and walked onto the stage in their best condition.

Light background dance music sounded, and all the cast members came on stage in an orderly manner and began to dance to the lively music.

Song Yan'an and Jiang Yu stood at the front, dancing joyfully to the rhythm, one step with their right foot, then one with their left, then two more steps back. When they jumped and landed, their feet were splayed outwards, a comical yet joyful sight.

The artists seemed to have let go of themselves and did whatever they wanted to do happily, especially Hu Xiaoxiao's dance, which was so free and unrestrained. Her lively dance, coupled with her bright smile, made people feel happy and relaxed when watching it.

The audience in the audience watched and couldn't help but smile, clapping their hands and joining in the fun.

After finishing this cheerful Charleston dance, Jiang Yu stepped back and turned on his headphones. The background music also changed to the theme song of "The Bund".

As Jiang Yu's singing began, Hu Xiaoxiao walked to the front and danced with Song Yan'an in the classic duet from the mayor's dinner.

This familiar scene brought viewers back to the rare and heartwarming moments of Zhao Zhenchuan and Xie Weihua, bringing back many memories. How wonderful it would be if life could always be this high-spirited?

Perhaps it is because the ending is too tragic that the past seems so beautiful.

The lights shine on Hu Xiaoxiao and Song Yanan. They dance like the wind, following each other like shadows, accompanying each other and knowing each other, composing a romantic and colorful life.

The artists behind also paired up and started dancing tango. At this time, the stage seemed to have a more romantic feeling.

After the music and dance ended, Song Yan'an held Hu Xiaoxiao in his left hand and Jiang Yu in his right hand, bowed to the audience and expressed his gratitude, which drew applause.

After leaving the stage in an orderly manner and entering the backstage, the busy scene began again.

Hu Xiaoxiao was the most hurried. She rushed to the dressing room immediately. As soon as she found a vacant seat and sat down, the stylist skillfully used tools to undo her Roman curls, and then used the curls of her long hair to make another curly hairstyle for her.

After finishing her styling, Hu Xiaoxiao began to change into the red one-shoulder dress she brought with her, the latest diamond necklace from Quanfu Jewelry around her neck, and the same earrings on her ears, looking gorgeous and elegant.

This set of jewelry was a gift that Quanfu Jewelry had just given her and it was very valuable.

Since Hu Xiaoxiao became the spokesperson for Quanfu Jewelry, he has had a good image and unmatched sales power. Therefore, over the years, Quanfu Jewelry has been enthusiastic about renewing the contract with Hu Xiaoxiao and has proactively increased the endorsement fee every time.

Not only Quanfu Jewelry, but also major brands such as Luoji Food have always maintained a good cooperative relationship with Hu Xiaoxiao, and have renewed their contracts again and again. Now, even if Hu Xiaoxiao has no work for a year, he can still live a comfortable life just by relying on endorsements.

After changing into her dress, Hu Xiaoxiao looked at her watch. It was not long before the Best Actress award was announced, so she did not go to the audience to sit and watch the performance. Instead, she found a rest area backstage to wait.

Sitting in the lounge area were guests preparing to perform as well as those who had already finished their performances. Today was their anniversary celebration, and the company had invited nearly every major name that had collaborated with T.V., Hong Kong, and Taiwan. As a result, the lounge area was filled with big names, from A-list singers and queens to renowned film stars.

Hu Xiaoxiao went over and greeted these bigwigs enthusiastically one by one. Those who didn't have their contact information took this opportunity to leave it, especially those in the film industry.

If it were the Hu Xiaoxiao of the past, perhaps her status wouldn't have been high enough to warrant the favor of these bigwigs. But after several years of development, Hu Xiaoxiao's influence and status within the TV station have become second only to Jiang Yu's second sister. In other words, she's practically a bigwig in the TV industry, with one foot in the bigwig circle.

People at the same level tend to communicate more smoothly and are more willing to give each other face. Everyone is happy to deal with people at the same level. I have the resources you want, and you have the resources I want. Let's leave a way so we can meet in the future.

Hu Xiaoxiao exchanged contact information with everyone and chatted with them, especially with several movie stars. He had a particularly pleasant chat with them. It was not until the staff came to remind Hu Xiaoxiao to prepare to go on stage that Hu Xiaoxiao rushed to receive the award.

"It's time to announce the most anticipated Best Actress award. I have so many feelings for this year's leading actress. I've been following her since her debut, and although I was very optimistic about her from the beginning, I am still extremely surprised by her achievements in just a few years. In all my years at TTV, this is the first time I have seen someone so motivated, so hardworking, and so admirable. I believe everyone has guessed who she is, so please join me in welcoming Ms. Hu Xiaoxiao——"

As Chen Jinchu finished speaking, the lights shone on Hu Xiaoxiao who was standing in the audience.

Hu Xiaoxiao walked up from the stage. Under the lights, her elegant and calm posture made all the cameras focus on her. When her unparalleled beautiful face appeared in front of the camera, everything else in the camera became a foil except her.

She walked up to Chen Jinchu, smiling brightly, "Hello, Gavin, I'm sorry to bother you again."

"It's no bother, I'd be happy to." Chen Jinchu said to the audience with deep emotion: "I still remember that when Xiaoxiao won the Miss Hong Kong title from me, she was the center of everyone's attention. After several years of experience, Xiaoxiao has grown a lot and has become even more brilliant. Xiaoxiao, I'm honored to have been able to watch your growth and witness your achievements."

Hu Xiaoxiao took the microphone and looked at the familiar people and familiar places, the company where she had worked for several years and where she had left countless memories. Even though she had always been heartless, she became emotional at this moment.
