Chapter 352 Being Surrounded
Mrs. Liu said, "The community has publicized that Miss Hu donated a large sum of money to help us solve our sewage and garbage disposal problems. Miss Hu, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, these problems that have plagued us for countless years, and we don't know when they will be solved. In the past, when it was hot, the whole village stank terribly, and people were as stinky as salted fish. The worst was when it rained. The streets would flood and be littered with garbage, making travel extremely inconvenient. Since you donated the equipment and arranged for the construction of the garbage disposal plant, our village has become much cleaner. The sewage ditches no longer accumulate water, and the garbage bins are cleaned daily..."
Mrs. Liu kindly pulled Hu Xiaoxiao into the house, made tea for him, and took out fruit biscuits to entertain the guests.
After Hu Xiaoxiao entered the house, he looked around the living room. In the middle of the living room was a 32-inch color TV, a three-seater mahogany sofa, and two single-seater mahogany sofas.
All three walls were covered with posters, including posters of superstars, posters of kung fu stars, but the most were her posters, which took up an entire wall.
Hu Xiaoxiao looked carefully at the posters of her, which showed her in different periods of her life. Through these posters, it seemed as if she was reviewing her journey over the past few years.
The oldest, yellowed one is a poster of her when she won the Miss Hong Kong title. She is wearing a crown on her head, a scepter in her hand, and a cape on her body.
There are three photos of her and Mingxu, one is a photo of Zhou Bijun and Ren Shaohua when she was filming "The Grandmaster"; one is a photo of Murong Qianluo and Long Yijiang when she was filming "The Legend of Long Yijiang"; and one is a photo of Mu Guiying and Yang Zongbao when she was filming "Mu Guiying".
There are also two stills from TV series and a few from recent movies. The latest one is her look in "The Queen of Treasures" and it's so fresh that you can almost smell the scent of Indian ink.
Mrs. Liu had already brewed tea and poured a cup for Hu Xiaoxiao. Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao staring at the poster, she smiled and said, "Miss Hu, you don't know, but my two daughters really like you. They have a lot of your posters in their rooms. Their notebooks are full of your stickers."
"Thank you, Mrs. Liu, and thank you, my two daughters." Hu Xiaoxiao took Mrs. Liu's tea with both hands and sat down with her. "I've been able to get to where I am today thanks to everyone's support. So, after I made my own money, I have always been committed to helping those who support me. This was the case with the previous garbage disposal project, and it is also the case today when I run for district council."
"Ms. Hu, are you really here to serve our residents? You are not just a big star who comes here to have fun on a whim?" Mrs. Liu asked seriously.
"I've proven it with facts," Hu Xiaoxiao said sincerely. "Mrs. Liu, please don't be prejudiced against me just because I'm a big star. Big stars are also human beings who want to contribute to the well-being of the residents. I really hope to use my celebrity status and my influence to help more people in need. Mrs. Liu, before I became a district councilor, I was committed to helping solve people's livelihood problems. I believe that after I am elected as a district councilor, I will do so in a more detailed and comprehensive manner. I hope to help the residents of our Dafang community live a more comfortable, exciting and fulfilling life..."
Seeing that Mrs. Liu was somewhat moved, Feng Junhao gave her a flyer and told her about the good things Hu Xiaoxiao had done for the Dafang community in the past, as well as the things Hu Xiaoxiao had participated in over the years.
Feng Junhao is professional in canvassing and persuading voters. Under his persuasion, Mrs. Liu quickly expressed that she would definitely vote for Hu Xiaoxiao.
When Hu Xiaoxiao left, Mrs. Liu not only personally saw Hu Xiaoxiao off, but also enthusiastically took Hu Xiaoxiao to the next house and helped knock on the neighbor's door.
With Mrs. Liu's help, Hu Xiaoxiao was able to establish a good relationship with the next voter more smoothly, and at the same time received a guarantee that they would vote for Hu Xiaoxiao.
After successfully visiting several voters, Hu Xiaoxiao also encountered several households with their doors closed and the owners not at home.
In the village, the news that the big star Hu Xiaoxiao was running for district councilor and was coming to visit voters spread like wildfire, and the whole village knew about it in a flash.
When Hu Xiaoxiao came out after visiting a voter, many villagers who had some free time to watch the fun had already gathered outside the door.
"Hey, it's really Hu Xiaoxiao! I thought the Hu Xiaoxiao on the previously announced candidate list was someone with the same name and surname."
"Are you kidding me? Everyone in Hong Kong is Hu Xiaoxiao. We live in the same community as us, in Tiancui City. How could we have the same name? Didn't you just look at the name and not the introduction? It says it's the action star queen Hu Xiaoxiao!"
"I didn't expect Hu Xiaoxiao to be so handsome in person. It seems that she looks even better without makeup than in the movie."
"That's strange. A famous celebrity making a fortune every day, why would she run for district council? Is she trying to gild her reputation? Does she want to be governor someday?"
"How can he be the governor? All the governors of Baogang are from foreign countries. Unless we return to China in the future, we Baogang people will be the governors."
"Move aside, move aside, I want Hu Xiaoxiao to give me an autograph!" A young villager squeezed forward with a notebook.
Hu Xiaoxiao came out of the voter's house and was surrounded by villagers after walking a few steps. From time to time, someone held a notebook and a pen and asked her to sign.
Hu Xiaoxiao pressed his hands together and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet! Today, I'm here with community staff to visit all the residents! Thank you very much for your interest in me. If anyone wants an autograph, please wait a moment. You can either go home and sign for them when I visit, or you can wait until I finish my work and sign for everyone. Okay?"
Some listened to Hu Xiaoxiao and went home to wait, while others, disliking him, shouted, "That's outrageous! You don't want to be a celebrity, but you want to be a district councilor. Do you think Dafang Community is a place for you to film movies and have fun? Get lost!"
Hu Xiaoxiao was about to speak when a constituent he had visited earlier stood up, pointed at the villager, and said, "Ms. Hu is a member of our community. Why should she be asked to leave? If you want to leave, leave now! Ms. Hu has helped our village so much and even donated to the garbage disposal project, solving a major problem that has been plaguing us. You didn't say thank you to Ms. Hu and instead told her to get out. Are you a human being? Do you have any humanity?"
"That's right, you're such an ungrateful person! The garbage you throw away and the sewage you discharge every day are all handled by Miss Hu at her expense. If you have the guts, don't throw garbage or pee or poop in the future."
"I think it's great for Ms. Wu to be a district councilor. She has selflessly helped us so much before becoming a district councilor. She will definitely do better than others as a district councilor. In any case, I will definitely vote for Ms. Wu."
