Chapter 347 Attending a Cocktail Party
Hu Xiaoxiao sighed and said: "The Spring Festival period is the real Shura field."
Huang Yuliang leaned back in his office chair, crossed his arms, and looked at Hu Xiaoxiao with a raised eyebrow: "When will you have the confidence to challenge the Shura Field?"
Hu Xiaoxiao put down the information in his hand and said, "I have challenged the Spring Festival period, but Shengshi has never challenged it."
What I mean is that she has the ability, but I don’t know whether Shengshi has the ability to compete for the Spring Festival schedule.
"Are you confident about the 2nd season of "The Princess Diaries"? " Huang Yuliang just asked.
Hu Xiaoxiao calculated that if the film was to be released during the Spring Festival next year, there would still be more than a year left, ample time to polish the film. "We can give it a try."
Although several film stars are strong in comedy, Hu Xiaoxiao prefers challenging things. "But the film schedule depends on whether Mr. Huang can pull it off."
The fierce competition in the Spring Festival period is not only due to the quality of the films, but also to the strength of the film companies. If the company has no strength and cannot get the screening schedule, everything is empty talk.
In previous years, only the most powerful and large studios dared to compete for the Spring Festival movie release. Ordinary film companies could not get a seat at the table and automatically avoided it.
"Leave the scheduling to me," said Huang Yuliang.
Now Huang Yuliang has taken over most of the territory in District 6, plus a piece of land in District 5. He owns a lot of territory and is a well-known figure even in the entire Baogang underworld circle.
In the film industry, where gangs are rampant, Shengshi has the ability to compete.
After talking with Huang Yuliang about the company's future development, Hu Xiaoxiao returned to her office. Dong Peiyu was already waiting for her there, bringing over the latest worksheet.
"Xiaoxiao, is your back injury better? If it's not healed yet, I will continue to turn down those business for you." Dong Peiyu said.
After a period of recuperation, with the best doctors and medicine, and thanks to her extraordinary resilience, Hu Xiaoxiao's skin has almost healed. Unless you look closely, you can't tell the skin on her back was ever burned.
Hu Xiaoxiao took two mirrors, one facing the skin on her back and the other facing the mirror to look at herself. She saw that the skin in the mirror was closer to her real skin color than the pink color of the previous two days.
As long as I don't wear clothes that expose my back, no one will notice anything unusual. "I can take on a few events. If I don't go out and see people, the paparazzi will say I'm at home recuperating after my baby's birth."
Dong Peiyu also saw the paparazzi's gossip about Hu Xiaoxiao staying home to care for her baby, and she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It was just that the more you tried to clarify this kind of news, the more the paparazzi got excited, so she could only ignore it.
Fortunately, the public all knew how outrageous the paparazzi were. Once Hu Xiaoxiao officially showed up and was in good condition, all the rumors were naturally dispelled.
Dong Peiyu said, "I'll make you some delicious soup later to nourish you. Otherwise, if you look a little haggard, who knows what the paparazzi will write about you."
"I want to drink a lighter soup. Sister Xi cooks fish maw and bird's nest almost every day, and I'm a bit sick of it." Sister Xi said that drinking fish maw and bird's nest is good for the skin and promotes wound healing. She forced Hu Xiaoxiao to drink it every day. Hu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to drink it every day.
No matter how delicious the soup is, if you drink it every day, you will get sick of it.
Hu Xiaoxiao brought over a worksheet, which recorded the business she was looking for cooperation with and the to-do items.
Hu Xiaoxiao saw an invitation for a cocktail party this Saturday from Ms. Tan Yinglian. "Sister Dong, please decline all other events this week except the cocktail party on Saturday."
Dong Peiyu took a pen and crossed out all the activities for this week, and only accepted two large-scale activities for next week with higher exposure.
On the night of the cocktail party, Hu Xiaoxiao chose a high-necked silk shirt with a silk scarf at the neckline, paired with a black fishtail skirt and black high heels.
After the back of her hair was burned a little, she asked the hairdresser to trim it a little shorter. After styling her short hair with hairspray in front of the mirror, Hu Xiaoxiao picked out a pair of big earrings and put them on.
Hu Xiaoxiao has bright and unparalleled facial features and a strong temperament, which makes her look rich and gorgeous even when she wears light makeup. To complement her makeup, she bought many very exaggerated earrings to match.
The earrings she chose were designed with flowers as the theme, with rose-shaped flowers of different sizes scattered around and long tassels underneath.
After Hu Xiaoxiao put it on, she looked extremely noble. The blank spaces between the flowers were embellished with tiny diamonds, which sparkled brightly under the light.
When Hu Xiaoxiao arrived at the cocktail party and walked into the venue, almost all the guests were attracted by her and turned to look at her.
The hostess, Ms. Tan Yinglian, came out to welcome her in.
"Why do I see you're even more beautiful?" Ms. Tan Yinglian sized up the dazzling Hu Xiaoxiao and exclaimed, "I don't know if it's because fame nourishes you, but you're even more beautiful than when you first debuted. You used to be as pretty as a princess, but now you're like Her Majesty the Queen."
Hu Xiaoxiao took Ms. Tan Yinglian's arm and leaned against her and said affectionately: "I think it's Aunt Tan. You look so good tonight, even more radiant than when I first met you."
"Me? I'm old. I don't look as radiant anymore, but I do have a few more wrinkles." Tan Yinglian waved her hand and said, "I don't know how I look, but I've gained several pounds. When I get older, I don't eat much, but I still gain weight easily."
The two had known each other for several years, their relationship much better than that of ordinary friends. Whenever Tan Yinglian wanted to organize an event, Hu Xiaoxiao was the first to come and support her. And whenever Hu Xiaoxiao needed any connections, Tan Yinglian would help introduce them.
Because they hadn't seen each other for a while, the two of them took a glass of red wine and started chatting in a corner of the party.
Tan Yinglian said, "I met Mr. Xie at the dance last time, and he told me that you and Zhiheng are cooperating to set up a factory in the mainland, right?"
Hu Xiaoxiao took a sip of his drink and said, "I did it for fun. It's a clothing factory. I plan to create a clothing brand, so I set up a clothing company with two friends."
"You've always had good taste, so you could definitely develop a career in the clothing industry. And since you're a big star, your clothing brand will already be popular, so you can save a lot of advertising costs."
"I think so too." Hu Xiaoxiao asked, "Aunt Tan, do you plan to develop in the mainland? In recent years, the mainland has offered many preferential policies to attract foreign investment. It would be a shame if Aunt Tan missed this opportunity."
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Tan Yinglian opened her heart to Hu Xiaoxiao, "I'm planning to invest in a chain supermarket in the mainland, but I'm busy in Baogang and worried I won't be able to handle it all. Going to the mainland means I'll be in a new place, and chain supermarkets are a nascent industry there, so new industries carry a lot of risk. I'm planning to find an investor to work with and spread the risk. Holding this cocktail party today is also about finding a partner."
