Chapter 483 Sleepless Night
"I might not be nervous at other times, but tonight, it's hard not to be nervous," said Hu Xiaoxiao.
Tan Yinglian's expression became even more serious.
The handover ceremony seemed peaceful and orderly, but in reality, tensions were already building and ready to erupt. If the handover failed, war would ensue.
The visitors to the convention center appeared calm and composed, but in reality, they were all apprehensive, fearing something unexpected might happen. However, those who could stand here were almost all accustomed to large-scale events and had long since mastered the art of concealing their emotions.
However, the situation was tense after all. If you looked closely, you could see that everyone was somewhat serious. The usual lively conversations and laughter were much less seen tonight.
Everyone was in a state of trepidation until the early morning, when all the handover ceremonies were successfully completed and the national flag was raised at the convention and exhibition center, and only then did they feel relieved.
When the bright red flag fluttered in the Great Hall of the Convention and Exhibition Center, it also meant that from now on, the foreigners had officially withdrawn from the rule of Baogang, and this land had finally returned to the embrace of the Chinese people. The return of Baogang also symbolized the end of national humiliation.
Hu Xiaoxiao stood in the viewing gallery of the Great Hall, gazing at the red flag, with many emotions welling up in his heart.
Coming out of the convention center late at night, Dong Peiyu, who was waiting outside, was about to drive Hu Xiaoxiao back when Hu Xiaoxiao said, "Let's go for a walk on the street together."
"A lot of people won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Indeed."
It rained yesterday and the streets of Baogang were a little damp, but the streets were full of pedestrians and many banners celebrating the return were hung on the streets.
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the bright banners, as if he saw a new breath injected into the city of Baogang.
After the return, life for the citizens was no different from usual. Those who went to work still went to work, those who did business still did business, and everything was in order.
It is impossible to say that nothing has changed. The biggest change is that there are fewer gangsters who used to be everywhere.
The Changxing Society was disbanded, and the gang members went their separate ways. Those who stayed in Baogang planned to find a proper job, while those who were unwilling to work hard followed their boss and went overseas, ready to show their talents overseas.
The Yi Hai Gang had already been cleansed before their return, establishing the Yi Hai Group. Luo Cheng was now known as Mr. Luo. After their return, Luo Cheng spent some time in fear and observed for a long time. After finding that the past was forgiven, he felt relieved and began to think about finding some legitimate business.
Luo Cheng saw that Hu Xiaoxiao's business in the mainland was booming, and other bosses who had invested in the mainland early on were also making a lot of money, much more than he had made when he was running a social organization. So, he decided to test the waters in his hometown in the mainland.
The mainland was in need of investment, and any legitimate business was welcome. Luo Cheng had a natural talent for business, and it wasn't long before he established himself and his business flourished.
Hu Xiaoxiao's work remains the same, or even busier.
In addition to filming, there are also business matters, and the election for the first legislative council after the return will also begin next year.
Her assistant Feng Junhao had already helped her make all the preparations.
When serving as a district councilor, Hu Xiaoxiao did an excellent job and was highly praised by residents in the district. He was one of the best district councilors in Baogang.
During his term of office, Hu Xiaoxiao helped residents solve many livelihood issues, served as a bridge between the government and residents, and did a very good job of communication.
"Sister Xiao, this is the content of the district meeting next week, and you need to attend. Also, the problems raised by the residents last time have been resolved, so you just need to report on it at the meeting." Feng Junhao reported the sorted information and the next work to Hu Xiaoxiao.
Hu Xiaoxiao flipped through the materials and nodded with satisfaction. "Well done. I heard you took some further studies in recent years, right?"
"Yes." Feng Junhao smiled and said, "I hope I can become more professional and help Sister Xiao do more work in the future."
"Okay, I'll give you a chance. If I'm elected next year, you can continue to be my assistant."
Feng Junhao had worked diligently for the past few years, even taking time out for further studies, all for Hu Xiaoxiao's sake. He was overjoyed, "I will definitely be a good assistant to Sister Xiao. She's sure to win next year's election."
Even judging by her resume, Hu Xiaoxiao's outstanding achievements in recent years are enough to qualify her for election. Furthermore, Hu Xiaoxiao has a very good relationship with the new Hong Kong government team, so it would be surprising if she wasn't elected.
Feng Junhao had already received the news, and Hu Xiaoxiao was almost certain to be chosen.
"As for Zhang Baoguang, you can hand over the work to him in advance," Hu Xiaoxiao instructed.
Zhang Baoguang was Hu Xiaoxiao's competitor when he was running for district councilor. Later, when he realized that he could not beat Hu Xiaoxiao, he immediately changed his strategy and showed goodwill to Hu Xiaoxiao. In the past few years, he has also run around to help Hu Xiaoxiao a lot.
Hu Xiaoxiao promised her that she would help Zhang Baoguang get elected after she left office, so she helped train him over the past few years and let Zhang Baoguang participate in all the work at hand. Once he was elected, Hu Xiaoxiao's work in the district would continue, so that he would not be forgotten and all the things she had worked hard to do for the residents would not be wasted.
It is a good thing for Zhang Baoguang and the district that she can take over.
Feng Junhao certainly knew Hu Xiaoxiao's plan, and Zhang Baoguang helped him a lot, allowing his work to progress smoothly, so starting this year, he has been helping Zhang Baoguang familiarize himself with the work at hand.
"I'm already working on it. He even said last time that he didn't know if he had the presence of mind to treat Sister Xiao to a meal." Hu Xiaoxiao's status wasn't what it was a few years ago. The difference between Zhang Baoguang and Hu Xiaoxiao was enormous. Even if he wanted to maintain some rapport with Hu Xiaoxiao, Zhang Baoguang was worried he wouldn't have enough face.
Hu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Please help me arrange a time. When I'm free, I'll treat him and his men to a meal together."
Hu Xiaoxiao has always been generous and treats those who have given her convenience and helped her as friends.
"Okay, I'll go down and arrange it." Feng Junhao guessed that Zhang Baoguang would be very happy to hear the news.
All of Hu Xiaoxiao's work went smoothly according to her plan. Even if there were twists and turns, she was not someone who would give up easily. When encountering difficulties, she would try her best to solve them and achieve her goals.
When the Legislative Council election came the following year, Hu Xiaoxiao successfully ran for election and became a member of the first Legislative Council after the return of Hong Kong to China, and her reputation rose to a new level.
