Chapter 56 Charity Gala
Although she has won the title of Miss Hong Kong, this is only the first step and only gives her the entry ticket to the entertainment industry.
She has no backing and is picky. How can she gain a foothold in the entertainment industry if she doesn't work hard?
Moreover, she likes to work hard because it allows her to enjoy the joy of success.
The feeling of accomplishment after all the hard work was wonderful. When the applause broke out for her, the audience's enthusiastic emotions intoxicated her.
Hu Xiaoxiao wrote down his home phone number to Ah Zhen and said, "This is my home phone number. If the company needs to notify me, just call me."
"This is very convenient." Azhen wrote the number down in her memo, then called the program department to inquire about the situation in the studio, and secured an opportunity for Hu Xiaoxiao to practice singing.
By lunchtime, Hu Xiaoxiao had almost mastered the song, so she called it a day and invited Feiyi to lunch. Seeing Ah Zhen also there, she decided to invite her along. The three of them had a whole chicken feast, and they were all very full.
When night falls, the modern port city begins to light up with thousands of lights, and there is a constant stream of vehicles on the streets.
The city becomes more bustling and lively as the night goes on.
Hu Xiaoxiao wore a white evening gown and took the TV station's car to the hotel where the party was to be held tonight.
Coincidentally, she had been to the place where the charity banquet was held tonight, which was the Wei Zi Resort Hotel where the semi-finals of the Miss Hong Kong pageant were held.
A long red carpet was laid at the entrance of the hotel, with embroidered flower baskets placed on both sides.
The car was parked in front of the red carpet. The doorman came up, bent down, opened the door, and invited the VIP to get out.
A foot wearing pointed high heels stepped on the red carpet first. The foot was as white as porcelain and the ankle was slender. It attracted the attention of all reporters as soon as it got out of the car.
Reporters set up their cameras and aimed them at the beauty who was about to get off the car.
The beauty, wearing a white dress as white as snow and with a graceful figure, stood on the red carpet and smiled slightly in the direction of the reporters. The lights in front of the hotel seemed to dim under her face.
Countless shutter buttons were pressed quickly, chasing the figure of the beauty.
It was not until the beauty entered the hotel and could no longer be seen that the reporters asked in confusion: "Who is this beautiful woman?"
"It looks familiar, but I can't remember where it came from."
"It's Hu Xiaoxiao, the new Miss Hong Kong." A reporter who had attended the Miss Hong Kong pageant finals said excitedly, "It's her!"
"So it's her? She looked so familiar to me. Is this her first time attending an event?"
"She's much prettier than previous Miss Hong Kong pageants. No wonder the ratings for this year's Miss Hong Kong finals were so high."
"Not only that, the videotapes of this year's Miss Hong Kong finals were sold out as soon as they were released. They sold as many as they could, and T.V.T.A.R. made a killing. They even made a videotape of the semi-finals, and it sold quite well."
After Hu Xiaoxiao entered the hotel, the waiter waiting in the lobby guided her to the venue.
On the way to the venue, Hu Xiaoxiao saw few people and felt a little deserted, which surprised him.
When I arrived at the venue, I didn't see many people there, so I asked the waiter, "What time does the party start?"
"It starts in half an hour."
"Not many people, I think."
The waiter said, "Ms. Hu, don't you know that many people have canceled their trips?"
Hu Xiaoxiao really didn't know about this, "Why?"
"We had originally invited Mr. Qin Huan to be a guest at this charity gala. Unfortunately, something happened at the school where Mr. Qin Huan taught, and he had to cancel the gala and rush back. With Mr. Qin Huan gone, the guests who had come specially for him had to cancel their plans as well."
Hu Xiaoxiao then recalled what Ah Zhen had said about the last-minute singing request. "Did they originally invite Mr. Qin Huan to play the piano?"
"Yes."
Hu Xiaoxiao stood at the entrance of the venue, looking at the promotional posters covering one wall, and said to the waiter, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll stay here and watch for a while."
"Yes, Ms. Hu can call me over anytime if you need me." After that, the waiter returned to the lobby to wait for other VIPs to arrive.
Hu Xiaoxiao stood in front of the promotional poster and didn't expect that under the prosperous surface, there were so many people living in Baogang who were suffering.
Orphans who have lost their parents and elderly people who have no one to rely on live on the margins of society, with no way to get food or clothing every day.
Baogang's economy is booming, generating countless fortunes every year. However, this wealth does not belong to the Baogang people who created the value; it is all plundered by the foreigners.
This is a colony, and the people who manage it are foreigners. They lack sympathy for this place and the people living here, and they invest only a small proportion in public facilities and social welfare.
Therefore, the people of Baogang can only unite and help each other.
Looking at the pale and skinny children and elderly people in the poster, Hu Xiaoxiao's thoughts drifted away.
She thought of her original hometown, where there were also many people in need of help.
Both her original body and her hometown were in the mainland...
"Ms. Hu."
The man's voice interrupted Hu Xiaoxiao's thoughts. She turned around and saw that it was the hotel owner Wansheng.
Unlike the casual Wansheng we've seen in the past, today he was dressed very formally. His straight-cut suit made him look more refined and elegant, adding a touch of grace and grace to his demeanor.
"Wansheng, long time no see." Hu Xiaoxiao put on an elegant smile, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wansheng.
"It wasn't that long. Congratulations, Ms. Hu, for becoming Miss Baogang."
"Thank you, Wansheng. You are also the sponsor of tonight's charity banquet, right? Wansheng, you are such a kind person."
"Excuse me, I just have a few bucks." Wansheng laughed, looking even more mature and charming. "When the party starts later, we'll have Miss Hu sing a song. Mr. Zou Huan was originally scheduled to open tonight, but he had to leave Baogang for an urgent matter, so I have to trouble Miss Hu."
Hu Xiaoxiao was surprised. "You suggested that I sing the opening song? How could I deserve that?"
"Ms. Hu, you are too modest. The song you sang in the semi-finals was very nice."
"I've prepared another song for tonight." Fortunately, she had prepared a new song.
If we were to sing the opening song, it would be a bit perfunctory if we sang a song that had just been performed. In such a formal occasion, perfunctory is rude.
Unless, you are the original singer.
Wansheng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Hu Xiaoxiao to practice the new song specially. The corners of his lips curled up, "I'm looking forward to it."
At this time, the guests came in one after another.
We had quite a few guests invited tonight, and although some had canceled their plans, quite a few still showed up for the sake of the Hong Kong government. Even if they didn't show up in person, they sent representatives.
Lu Sheng from the TV station didn't cancel his trip and arrived on time. Hu Xiaoxiao walked over and took his arm as they entered the venue.
Lu Sheng was very satisfied with Hu Xiaoxiao's outfit. He praised her a few times and then asked, "Have you signed the contract?"
