Chapter 57 The Beginning of the Game
"No." Facing Lu Sheng's puzzled look, Hu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows curved slightly and he smiled, "I want to change the contract."
"What contract do you want to change?" Lu Sheng frowned.
"It's a contract." Hu Xiaoxiao said.
"Impossible." Lu Sheng refused without hesitation.
Hu Xiaoxiao also knew that he would refuse, but she still smiled and said nothing more.
The game has already started.
Lu Sheng wanted to ask Hu Xiaoxiao what he thought, but at this time an acquaintance came over to say hello, so he could only put the matter aside.
Hu Xiaoxiao said considerately, "Lu Sheng, go get busy. The show is about to start. I'll go get ready first."
Lu Sheng nodded and let Hu Xiaoxiao leave.
Hu Xiaoxiao went to the stage and told the staff the title of the song, and the staff went to the song library to find the song.
The songs chosen by Hu Xiaoxiao are also familiar to people in Hong Kong and the staff found them quickly.
Holding the microphone, Hu Xiaoxiao stood at the edge of the stage, watching the distinguished guests in the venue chatting in groups of three or four.
Those present today were largely members of Hong Kong's upper class, all of them elegant and refined. No wonder Wansheng, usually known for his casual attire, had donned a suit tonight.
There were dozens of tables set up in the venue, but only more than half of the guests were present. However, guests kept walking in from time to time at the entrance.
The emcee came on stage first, announced the official start of the evening party, and gave an opening speech.
"...Next, please welcome this year's new Miss Hong Kong, Hu Xiaoxiao, to sing an opening song for everyone!"
The VIPs who were chatting stopped talking and turned their eyes to the stage.
Sure enough, everyone is still somewhat curious about this year's new Miss Hong Kong.
Hu Xiaoxiao walked onto the stage with the microphone in hand. The music started and a song that everyone could hum, "Love Across Thousands of Mountains and Rivers," began.
After being taught by a professional vocal teacher, Hu Xiaoxiao's voice is no worse than that of a professional singer, and has her own unique characteristics, just like her personality, bright, sunny and full of vitality.
"Don't say that the green mountains are full of obstacles,
The wind is strong and fierce,
White clouds passing over the mountains can also convey feelings."
The graceful and distant singing attracted many people's attention. Wansheng held a glass of red wine, leaned against the Roman column, held the glass in one hand and put the other hand in his pocket, quietly enjoying the singing and taking a sip of wine from time to time.
"Don't say there are many changes in the water,
The water is clear and still,
Tenderness is like water and love is eternal."
After listening for a while, Lu Sheng's friends said to him, "The Miss Hong Kong contest selected by your TV station is of very high quality. It won't be difficult to make her famous."
Lu Sheng hummed absentmindedly, thinking about what Hu Xiaoxiao had just said to him.
Is she mentally unstable when she wants to negotiate a full-time contract with someone who hasn't even debuted yet and has no productions? Or has she been in contact with other entertainment companies and is interested in switching to another one? So she's deliberately making demands that the company won't agree to?
If it was the Miss Hong Kong contestants of the past, if they wanted to leave, he would not try to stop them, but would politely say a blessing. But Hu Xiaoxiao——
She is the most popular among all the Miss Hong Kong pageants, and she has helped the company earn a lot of money before she even signed a contract.
The spectacular performances at the finals immediately drove up the ratings, driving up advertising revenue. The follow-up was also incredibly strong, with the company's videotapes running out of stock throughout Hong Kong, something unprecedented.
There are also advertisers who particularly favor her. Yesterday, an advertiser called him and asked if Hu Xiaoxiao had signed the contract and whether she was free to shoot an advertisement for their company's products.
Pan Rou Company directly asked Hu Xiaoxiao to be the spokesperson for the new shampoo.
These two companies are big clients of the TV station and are very generous with their money. The commission from Hu Xiaoxiao's advertising revenue alone is enough to make the company pay attention.
It was the first time that Lu Shengkang saw a Miss Hong Kong with such strong money-making ability.
However, the company only gives unit contracts to experienced artists and has never given them to newcomers, so they cannot break the rules.
Lu Shengkang remembered that Hu Xiaoxiao was the first person Charlie favored, and he planned to let Charlie handle this matter after he returned.
"I'm not afraid that the strong wind will blow away my passion,
Love is always there, no matter how far we go."
On the stage, Hu Xiaoxiao was immersed in the music, singing with great enthusiasm, and swaying her waist to the music.
At the entrance of the venue, a very young man came in. He was wearing a Bulgari shirt and a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.
A pair of slender almond-shaped eyes are slightly upturned, with flowing eyes, showing a bit of elegance and charm.
He walked slowly, with a somewhat lazy look, which was out of place among the well-mannered guests at the venue.
Hearing the beautiful singing, he stood at the door, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked towards the stage.
But the woman singing on the stage was extremely beautiful, with a soft, slender waist that swayed gently.
The man put his hands in his pockets and blew a long whistle to show his admiration.
The VIP next to him was a little dissatisfied when he heard the whistle, but when he saw that it was this person, he got used to it and greeted him, "Xie sir, you are here too?"
Xie Zhiheng's eyes were still fixed on the stage as he replied, "The old man is busy, so he asked me to come over and donate some money. Who's singing on the stage?"
"Master Xie, don't you watch TV? Almost everyone in Hong Kong knows the new Miss Hong Kong. There's no reason why you wouldn't know her."
"I just got back from Europe yesterday."
The new Miss Hong Kong? Xie Zhiheng curled the corners of her lips into a wicked smile.
"Meeting and separation are also destined by heaven,
Don't blame the heavens or your fate,
I only ask for the mountains and rivers to bear witness to this.”
After Hu Xiaoxiao finished singing, the atmosphere became lively. She walked off the stage and the emcee came on stage to give her speech.
After Hu Xiaoxiao handed the microphone back, he overheard Shao Zhongchang, an official from the Secretary for Administration, and Dou, the president of the Charity Federation, say, "What a shame! We thought we could raise millions of dollars tonight thanks to Mr. Qin Huan's influence, but now it looks like even a million dollars won't be enough."
President Dou said: "The world is unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen. We can't blame them for not donating much. We have already organized two charity donations this year. Rich people's money doesn't fall from the sky."
"Try to talk to them about the situation and ask them to donate more so that these orphans and elderly people can be properly cared for."
"I'll do my best, you don't have to expect too much."
Evening parties are the best place for socializing and bonding. It is a good opportunity for familiar friends and business partners to get together.
Hu Xiaoxiao didn't know them. Seeing the wide variety of desserts arranged at the party, she couldn't help but feel hungry.
She filled a large plate with food, took it to a place where no one would notice her, and started eating it bite by bite.
She eats very fast, but her eating manners are very beautiful. When she eats her favorite food, her eyes narrow slightly with joy, and her whole body is filled with happiness. Seeing this makes people's appetite increase, and even if they are not hungry, they will want to eat something.
This action caught the attention of someone, who also went to get a plate, put a few cookies on it, and handed it to Hu Xiaoxiao, saying, "Miss Hu, try this."
Hu Xiaoxiao looked up. The middle-aged man in front of him had a round face and a very kind smile.
