The next day, a new day began in Hong Kong Island.
The morning light shines through the mist of Victoria Harbour, casting a shadow on the still-inked front pages of countless newsstands.
Today's newsstands were particularly lively, with vendors shouting, waving newspapers, and shouting headlines.
On the first day after the Miss Hong Kong finals, there was no doubt that almost all newspapers in Hong Kong were using the most eye-catching headlines and pictures to freeze the same moment.
After the Miss Hong Kong finals, Rebecca Chu wore the crown and smiled sweetly; Peter Ho held a large bouquet of roses in his hands and presented the flowers to the beauty in a graceful manner.
The relationship between these two people, who had no scandals or rumors before, has become obvious because of this photo, and it will obviously become the hot headlines in the whole of Hong Kong Island today.
In the photo, the two people under the spotlight, no matter their identity or appearance, look like a princess and prince from a fairy tale world.
"Zhu Lingling is the most beautiful among all the beauties, and Mr. Huo is the new Miss Hong Kong!"
"A new Miss Hong Kong winner has emerged! Zhu Lingling beats favorite Liu Rumeng!"
"The Huo-Zhu romance ignites Hong Kong! A wealthy young man falls in love with a common, intelligent and beautiful woman!"
The reports between the lines of these newspapers are full of praise for the new Miss Hong Kong, Zhu Lingling, and flattery for the eldest son of the Fok family, Peter Ho.
Those newspapers that are pro-British or friendly with the Fok family did not hesitate to step on Kobayashi Tianwang while praising Fok Chun-ting's "winner in life" posture.
After all, the news that Xiaolin Tianwang and Huo Zhenting were competing for Liu Rumeng was known to everyone in Hong Kong. Moreover, the inside story that Xiaolin Tianwang was trying to support Liu Rumeng to become the Miss Hong Kong champion was also extremely explosive.
However, the winner now is Zhu Lingling, and Peter Ho has turned to pursue Zhu Lingling. Such a reversal and strong contrast is simply in line with the characteristics of breaking news.
"Liu Rumeng is flashy but not practical? She exposed her shortcomings in the Miss Hong Kong competition, losing to Zhu Lingling!"
"Did Xiaolinsheng misjudge? The 'Pearl' he pursued so carefully ultimately lost to the well-deserved champion!"
"Huo Zhen has a keen eye for true beauty! Roses are presented to beautiful women. Is the new Huo family mistress about to be revealed?"
The Sing Tao Daily even wrote a special article praising TVB's new Miss Hong Kong finals, saying, "This year's Miss Hong Kong finals features a unique format, especially the addition of a hands-on session that truly tests the contestants' comprehensive qualities and life wisdom. It is arguably the fairest, most equitable, and most groundbreaking beauty pageant of all time! Zhu Lingling is truly deserving of the title!"
Amidst the noisy praise and trampling and ridicule, the front-page headline of Kobayashi Tenmo's Asia Times appeared to be particularly "calm" and "well-intentioned."
Like other newspapers, the headline of Asia Daily also focuses on the new Miss Hong Kong champion, Rebecca Chu.
However, the Asia Times did not simply praise Zhu Lingling, but instead further delved into Zhu Lingling's non-family background and origins.
"Zhu Lingling: The legendary journey from 'factory girl' to Miss Hong Kong champion!"
The article describes in detail Zhu Lingling's growth background and family situation. Her father runs a small home appliance and furniture factory.
Although it is not large in scale, it still has a good reputation in the industrial area of Hong Kong Island.
Zhu Lingling has been exposed to the factory workshops since she was a child, and is much more familiar with various tools, parts, and assembly processes than ordinary girls.
The article objectively pointed out that "Ms. Zhu grew up in an appliance and furniture factory, so her knowledge and practical skills in metal structures and everyday hardware tools are naturally far superior to those of ordinary people.
This unique family background undoubtedly laid an incomparable advantage for her in the 'hands-on practice session' that was temporarily added to the Miss Hong Kong finals yesterday."
Obviously, the family background of Zhu Lingling revealed in this report directly points to the fairness of the final stage of the TVB Miss Hong Kong finals.
There is no doubt that such reports stand out among many flattering articles and instantly aroused different reactions among all classes in Hong Kong Island.
In a tea restaurant in Mong Kok, beneath the numerous news reports, there is a lot of noise and discussion.
"Hey! Have you read the Asia Daily?"
A middle-aged man in work clothes slammed his hand on the table and yelled at his coworker, "I told you! Why did they add a hands-on step and hardware assembly for no reason? So Zhu Lingling's family owns an appliance factory? Is this really such a coincidence? Does TVB think all Hong Kong citizens are idiots?"
"That's right!" another worker spat. "Anyone with a discerning eye can see what kind of shady scheme this is! Miss Liu lost so unfairly! She was ahead in all the previous stages, but in the end she had to come in second because she couldn't assemble furniture. It's so frustrating!"
"What's the point of talking about fairness? I think it's all a collusion between those rich guys and the TV station!"
A tea drinker reading a newspaper nearby scoffed, "Do you really think this is a Miss Hong Kong pageant? In the end, isn't it just a process for wealthy young masters to choose their wives? Zhu Lingling had just won the championship, and Master Huo smelled something fishy and immediately came over..."
In the office buildings in Central, these financial white-collar elites were also discussing last night's Miss Hong Kong finals with each other after work.
White-collar workers in suits held coffee and exchanged views in the tea room.
"This article in the Asia Daily...tsk, there's something there. It seems to be well-prepared, and every word is so sharp! I'm afraid TVB's reputation will be damaged because of this." Someone whispered.
"Yes! Isn't this article clearly saying that TVB has already made the decision and is paving the way for the future mistress of the Huo family? I know about the Zhu family's factory, it's a small business. This background was specifically mentioned, and the meaning couldn't be clearer."
