Chapter 427: Street Fighter
After hearing this, Hu Xiaoxiao knew that the manager did not recognize her and had forgotten that he had asked her to sign up for the Miss Hong Kong pageant.
Hu Xiaoxiao is no longer a novice in Hong Kong. After so many years of experience in social etiquette, she naturally knows that the manager had encouraged her to sign up for the Miss Hong Kong pageant with the intention of making fun of her and playing a prank on her, and had no good intentions.
However, the result was good, so she thought she should say thank you to him.
Although with her personality and the development of the film and television industry in Hong Kong, she would have entered this circle sooner or later, but entering the entertainment industry earlier has saved her many detours, which is generally a good thing.
"Do you still remember the girl who came to look for a job that year? You suggested that she participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant." Hu Xiaoxiao told the story of that year.
The manager was stunned for a moment, and soon, this incident came to his mind.
That incident was also very memorable to him, as he was the only one who suggested to an applicant that they run for Miss Hong Kong. He also treated it as a joke at the time and told it several times to colleagues and friends.
The manager took a while to come back to his senses. He looked at Hu Xiaoxiao in surprise and asked, "Sister Xiao, do you know that girl?"
Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Can't you recognize me? I'm the girl from back then."
What? !
The manager was shocked and looked at the glamorous and dazzling Hu Xiaoxiao in disbelief. Is this the girl who looked so thin and old-fashioned back then?
"You, Sister Xiao, are you joking?" The manager still couldn't believe it.
Hu Xiaoxiao didn't explain much, just smiled and said, "I just happened to pass by here, and I remembered a lot of things in the past. I also happened to see you, and I was touched, so I came over to say thank you. Thank you."
After saying that, Hu Xiaoxiao closed the car window and drove away.
The manager was left alone on the street, looking disheveled, until a colleague came over and called out to him, "What are you doing standing there? Looking up, are you crazy?"
The manager slapped himself suddenly, a look of ecstasy on his face, "Do you know who was talking to me just now?"
"Who? Could it be that Hu Xiaoxiao is talking to you?" Because Hu Xiaoxiao has been so popular recently that the whole of Hong Kong is talking about her, whether in newspapers and magazines or on the streets, everything is about her, and the colleague said this subconsciously.
"That's right, it's Hu Xiaoxiao!" The manager said intoxicatedly, "Do you know what Hu Xiaoxiao said to me? She said thank you! Big star Sister Xiao thanks me!"
My colleague didn't believe me. "I think you haven't woken up yet. You're not a big shot. How can you expect Hu Xiaoxiao to say thank you?"
"Why not?" the manager explained smugly, "Do you know why Hu Xiaoxiao wanted to participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant? It was me! I suggested she go! Without me, there would be no superstar Hu Xiaoxiao!"
Seeing that his colleagues didn't believe him and other colleagues in the restaurant also laughed at him for being wishful thinking, the manager quickly told his colleagues what had happened that year in detail.
Several colleagues at the restaurant were veterans, and the manager's words immediately brought back memories of the past. After all, the manager had mocked Hu Xiaoxiao for quite a while, saying she was a mainland Chinese girl with such wishful thinking that she couldn't even speak proper Cantonese and still wanted to participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant. She was completely clueless.
Moreover, the manager once boasted: "If she is elected, I will crawl from one street to another!"
He had said this several times back then, and colleagues who recalled the events immediately recalled it. "Hey! Didn't you say that if she won, you'd crawl from one street to another? And then she not only won, but also became Miss Hong Kong. Now she's a huge star. Aren't you going to keep that promise?"
"Yes! Climb the streets! Climb the streets!"
Because the manager usually had a bad mouth, many employees were dissatisfied with him, so they used this incident to urge him to crawl on the street.
The manager's face immediately turned green, and he immediately pretended to be dumb and said, "Did I say that? I don't think so. You must be remembering it wrong. How could I say that?"
But more than one colleague remembered what happened back then, and there were witnesses. After getting proof, they all went over and started to jeer as they pushed him out onto the street, saying, "There's no point in playing dumb. Crawl! Crawl for us!"
The noise was heard by the boss lady who came to check out the shop. Coincidentally, she was a fan of Hu Xiaoxiao and had learned disco from him in Chen Tianhua's dance class. When she heard that her employees had looked down on her idol and her half-teacher, she joined in the commotion and said to the manager with a half-smile, "Men should treat their teeth as gold and crawl when they are told to."
When the manager saw the boss lady's half-smile, he knew that she was serious. His heart skipped a beat and in his nervousness he stepped on empty air and accidentally fell to the ground on the street.
When the restaurant employees saw this, they couldn't help laughing and went over to help him up.
Although the manager was spared from crawling on the street in the end, he was nicknamed "Flop" because of the fall he made on the street.
