Chapter 50: Winning the Miss Hong Kong Title

Amidst applause, Wu Jiahui walked down the steps from the stage, like a queen stepping down from the throne, accompanied by a recording of her duties and responsibilities as Miss Baogang over the past year, as well as a summary.

Wu Jiahui, holding the arm of the etiquette master, walked down slowly, wearing a gorgeous gown and the crown she had won at the previous coronation. Whether in appearance or temperament, she was superior, worthy of being the champion of the previous competition.

The background recording sounded on the stage——

"Time flies! Before I knew it, a year has already passed. This past year has been the most fulfilling and meaningful period of my life. As Miss Baogang, I have represented Baogang, participated in various charity events, and helped many Baogang people.

At the same time, we are promoting tourism in Baogang and enhancing its international image. I have dedicated my efforts to serving Baogang. I will soon step down as Miss Baogang and hand over the responsibilities and obligations of the title to the next Miss Baogang. I hope she will continue to serve Baogang diligently and responsibly over the next year..."

As Wu Jiahui finished her background recording, she came to the center of the stage and accepted the applause from the audience with a noble temperament.

Chen Jinchu opened the envelope and took out the card.

The other three hosts all squeezed their heads over to see the result and exclaimed in unison.

"I believe everyone has been waiting for a long time and is already impatient. Now, I will announce the champion of this year's Miss Hong Kong." Chen Jinchu took a deep breath and announced loudly: "The champion of the annual Miss Hong Kong competition finals is - contestant No. 5 Hu Xiaoxiao -"

The applause was like a tide, surging and enthusiastic.

When Hu Xiaoxiao on the stage heard the result, even though he was very confident in himself, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.

This is applause specifically for her.

This is also an applause that recognizes her efforts over the years.

She pressed her violently beating heart in her chest and was in a trance for a moment.

My soul felt like it was soaking in a hot spring, warm, comfortable, and relaxing, filled with joy and happiness that seemed to overflow.

Perhaps, this is what has always attracted her and made her yearn for the excitement and bustle of the world.

The applause continued, Hu Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of joy, and her smile was bright and ardent. Even through the screen, the audience could feel her happiness.

She is really happy.

Hu Xiaoxiao walked up to the previous Miss Hong Kong champion with a smile on her face, her eyes filled with joy.

"Congratulations." Wu Jiahui congratulated.

"Thanks."

After Wu Jiahui put the sash on Hu Xiaoxiao, she straightened it out, took out a shawl inlaid with diamonds from the etiquette lady's tray, and draped it over Hu Xiaoxiao.

Under the light, the diamond cape sparkled, and at this moment, Hu Xiaoxiao seemed to be emitting brilliant light.

After the coronation, the staff moved a throne over and Hu Xiaoxiao sat on it.

Finally, Hu Xiaoxiao took the scepter from Wu Jiahui's hands.

She sat on the throne, holding the scepter, and once again accepted the thunderous applause and congratulations.

The other three award-winning beauties gathered around Hu Xiaoxiao's throne like stars surrounding the moon, and were recorded by the camera.

The camera will record this extremely meaningful historical moment.

All the cameras were aimed at them, and the focus of all the cameras was on one person, Hu Xiaoxiao.

Zhao Yanhong moved as close to Hu Xiaoxiao as possible, showing the most beautiful smile she had ever practiced, and used her most elegant posture, trying to squeeze Hu Xiaoxiao out of the spotlight.

Hu Xiaoxiao generously put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Come on, little cutie, this will bring us closer."

Zhao Yanhong had practiced in front of the camera countless times, and her most perfect smile almost broke.

Lin Qianyou and Zhu Wanwen also moved closer to Hu Xiaoxiao, trying to compress the image as much as possible so that all media could take a picture of the family.

The reporters pressed the shutter buttons of their cameras with astonishing speed, as they were all excited to record this historic moment.

At that time, they did not know that this Miss Hong Kong pageant finals would become the most successful and exciting Miss Hong Kong finals in history.

No one will come after him.

In addition, the four people in the camera had different lives later in life and often became hot topics of discussion in various gossip shows.

After the finals ended perfectly, the audience dispersed and the TV switched to commercials.

Hu Xiaoxiao returned to the backstage, removed her makeup, and went to the dressing room to change into a dress as she would attend the celebration banquet later.

As soon as I closed the door of the dressing room, many beauties came in.

After the competition, they all relaxed and discussed their future plans.

"I'm participating in the Miss Baogang pageant just to make a movie and become a star. I want to sign with Baogang Television, but I don't know if the HR department will accept me."

Another contestant consoled her, saying, "Those of us who make it to the finals, as long as we can endure hardships, are willing to learn, and are smart, we still have a great chance of getting signed."

"Yes, there have been unsuccessful contestants in previous years who have successfully secured contracts. However, the resources they were given were minimal, and they were treated similarly to talent recruited by the TV stations, starting out as extras or minor supporting roles. However, as long as they're willing to endure and learn, many have ultimately made it big."

"I'm really envious of those who got a ranking. If the four of them are willing, they can all get a contract."

"That's true, but even if they sign contracts, the resources the top three get are different. The champion basically doesn't have to worry about resources, as long as they are obedient. As for the runner-up and third place, the resources are much less. After all, there are many famous young actresses on the TV station, and everyone is competing fiercely."

"Being famous is a matter of luck. Even if you're a champion, if you don't seize the opportunity, you'll inevitably be eliminated. Every year there are champions, every year there are newcomers, but we only hear the laughter of the newcomers and the cries of the veterans. Look at the Miss Hong Kong winners from previous years; many of them were signed to TV stations, yet they didn't make a splash and were forgotten by the public."

Hu Xiaoxiao was about to go out after changing her clothes when she heard several beauties discussing the type of contract to sign.

"The management contract at Baogang TV is too controlling. Once signed, it's like selling yourself to the company. Everything you do needs the company's approval, and you're not allowed to take on private work. There's no freedom at all."

"But I signed a management contract and have a fixed salary every month. I don't have to worry about not having enough to eat when I don't have any films to shoot."

"You're overthinking it. The monthly salary is so small, it's barely enough to eat, and it's not even enough to buy more clothes. If you want to make money, you need to film more dramas and get more pay. But whether you can get a role or appear on a TV show depends entirely on the company."

"Do you want to sign another type of contract? The most flexible one is the unit contract. Besides filming a certain number of dramas for the TV station each year, you can allocate the rest of your time freely. You can take on private work, and it won't affect your ability to act in dramas for other entertainment companies."

"What a joke! You haven't even entered the industry yet, and you want to sign a franchise contract? You're dreaming! Don't you even ask around to see who the people who can sign franchise contracts are? They're either former top brothers or second sisters, or they're from wealthy families with a strong background.

You should first make a name for yourself at the TV station before considering a contract, otherwise the HR department will tell you to get out of here. Even champion Hu Xiaoxiao isn't qualified to negotiate a contract with the TV station, let alone you."
