Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 447: The Stars Are Coming, and the Mall Is in Turmoil

Hu Mingqian was stunned: "Ah? Celebrity? Which celebrity? Tyrande's celebrity?"

Jiang Xue said, "It seems like a reality show. There are stars from Thailand, China, and Korea."

Hu Mingqian asked: "Xiaoxue, is your favorite Korean star coming over too?"

"Yes, congratulations, you guessed it right, Song Cheng is coming first!"

"Ah, as expected, you are a loyal fan of Song Chengxian. No, you should be a die-hard fan."

"Of course you do! You like it, too."

"I'm OK, I'm OK."

Song Chengxian is a very popular star in Korea right now. In fact, he is not only popular in Korea, but also all over the world, especially in Southeast Asia. It can be said that all young women are obsessed with him.

Song Chengxian also has a large number of fans in mainland China.

At that time, Korean entertainment was indeed very strong, while Western entertainment was on the decline, so Korean stars were quite popular.

However, in the next few years, mainland China's entertainment industry started to rise, especially the large number of costume dramas that attracted countless fans, and in Southeast Asia, it could at least compete with South Korean entertainment.

Hu Mingqian asked: "Who are the celebrities in China?"

Jiang Xue said: "I don't know, but I heard there are some big names there. Anyway, I'm going to go and take a look. I'll know then."

"Then I wish you meet your favorite celebrity."

Jiang Xue asked: "Qian'er, aren't you going?"

"I have something else to do now. I'll come back to you when I'm done."

"Okay then. I'll go over there and take control of the situation. I'll get a good position when there's a chance. You must come. Opportunities are rare and will never come back."

Hu Mingqian and Jiang Xue chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

Jiang Xue's anxious look is that of a typical star-chasing addict.

But it’s normal for young people to like fan culture, as long as it’s not too excessive.

The journey was smooth and there was not much traffic jam.

A moment later, Hu Mingqian drove to Mekong World.

This is a very large shopping mall, known as the largest shopping mall in Southeast Asia and is ranked among the best in Asia.

But if this shopping mall were moved to China, it would probably be the same.

Especially in the following years, when commercial complexes opened in major cities across China, it became even more inconspicuous.

Hu Mingqian drove the car into the underground parking lot. After parking, she took Hu Jiangshan to the first floor by elevator.

Similar to most shopping malls in the mainland, most of the restaurants in Tailand’s mall are concentrated on the first or second floor, and they have to take the escalator to the third floor.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "Are the uncles and aunts here?"

Hu Mingqian replied: "They probably haven't arrived yet. They will be late, probably half an hour later. Let's go to the restaurant and wait."

Hu Jiangshan nodded.

Hu Mingqian took Hu Jiangshan inside and prepared to take the escalator upstairs.

This shopping mall is indeed very popular, with traffic volume somewhat similar to that of shopping malls in mainland China during holidays, perhaps even more.

However, most of the people shopping in the mall seem to be locals, with some European and American tourists, but not many Chinese.

This is mainly because Chinese people are concentrated in major tourist attractions and places like popular restaurants, and not many people come to shopping malls like this.

Just then, I heard a commotion and noise up ahead, but I didn't know what was happening.

Many people also ran forward, shouting and yelling like crazy.

Hu Jiangshan was confused: "What's going on? Is this the end of the world?"

Hu Mingqian said: "Then they should also run outside."

"Well, you have a point."

As we were talking, a lot of people gathered in front, but they seemed to be blocked and unable to move forward.

I could vaguely see some uniformed security personnel blocking the crowd, forming a barrier.

Hu Jiangshan and Hu Mingqian both understood that the legendary celebrity group had arrived and the mall was controlling the flow of people.

Hu Mingqian said, "It's over. The road is blocked. Are they going to stop people from going up?"

Hu Jiangshan said: "It doesn't matter, it should be temporary. Anyway, there is no rush to eat now, so let's wait a while."

Hu Mingqian was not in a hurry. After all, she was a young girl and was very curious. She stretched her neck to look inside, trying to see through the crowd which stars had appeared.

With such a grand display in the shopping mall, it must be of some importance.

Hu Jiangshan also noticed that there were many more Chinese people in the crowd, mostly little girls, and they all spoke Mandarin.

It seems that China's star-chasers are also quite crazy and have even come to foreign countries to chase their idols.

Of course, they might just be traveling, living or working in Tyrande, and came here after hearing the news.

But it's still quite exaggerated.

Just then, someone patted Hu Mingqian on the shoulder.

Hu Mingqian turned around and saw that it was her classmate Jiang Xue who had called her just now.

Hu Mingqian was happy: "Xiaoxue, you came so fast, did you fly here?"

Jiang Xue laughed: "My idol is here, how can I not be quick? I have to fly over here even if I have to fly."

Jiang Xue noticed Hu Jiangshan and her eyes lit up, that was the expression on her face when she saw the handsome guy.

This classmate Jiang Xue is obviously a fan of appearance. She is the type who can't help but be attracted by handsome guys.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan's appearance is indeed very good, and he is even more handsome than most stars.

Moreover, many of those male stars are simply handsome, and their temperament cannot be compared with Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan is indeed the ceiling, even fans like Jiang Xue were amazed by him.

Hu Mingqian asked: "Have you found out? Which celebrities are coming?"

Jiang Xue chuckled: "Anyway, my idol Song Cheng came first."

Hu Mingqian said "Oh" and looked inside.

Song Chengxian is very famous. Hu Mingqian has also watched his TV series and listened to his songs, but she doesn't admire him as much as Jiang Xue. However, it is quite good to have the opportunity to get Song Chengxian's autograph.

Jiang Xue said: "This opportunity is rare and will never come back. I must get Cheng Xian's autograph!"

"There are so many people here, and the security guards are blocking us, so we can't get close."

Jiang Xue frowned. The situation in front of her was indeed worrying. The security was too strict. Not to mention asking for an autograph from her idol, she might not even be able to see him in person.

I just heard some Chinese girls around talking about it.

"Why are there so many people here? I can't see anything!"

"Don't worry, there will always be a chance later."

"Is Song Chengxian really here? I'm worried that we've been cheated."

"They must be here, otherwise why would there be so many people?"

"Besides Cheng Xian, who else is there?"

"I don't know about that. No one else has announced it. It's confidential."

It seemed that many people were at a loss and at a loss. Jiang Xue finally became anxious. She had waited so long for this opportunity. Even if she couldn't get an autograph, at least she could take a look at her idol Song Chengxian.

At this moment, another commotion occurred not far away. It was even louder, and one could even hear the screams of many young girls.

No need to ask, those stars should have arrived.

My goodness, there are even more people surrounding us, three layers inside and three layers outside, it’s really tight.

Now it feels like even a fly can’t fly in.

Hu Jiangshan is tall and saw that there were indeed a few people walking towards this side under the escort of several other security personnel.

Hu Jiangshan thought the man walking in front looked familiar, and then he heard the Chinese girl who was standing in a good position shouting loudly.

"Song Chengxian! Chengxian! See me!"

"Song Chengxian! I do love you!"

"I want to marry you!"

"Sign! Chengxian, please sign for me!"

Hu Jiangshan understood that the person walking in front was Song Chengxian, the famous male star from South Korea.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan has never been able to appreciate Korean male stars. He feels that they look silly and not very smart. But maybe because they are taller, have a better figure, and dress and do makeup better, they can indeed be called handsome. Coupled with the blessing of film and television dramas and singing, they can attract so many fans.

Of course, Korean female stars can also attract a large number of fans, including both male and female fans, and sometimes the female fans are even crazier than the male stars.

Most people know what's going on. In South Korea, a very high percentage of men and women have plastic surgery on their faces, so Korean actresses all seem to look somewhat similar. Some even look exactly the same and cannot be told apart. These are products from the same medical beauty production line.

Jiang Xue was now very anxious. She rushed to the crowd and tried desperately to squeeze in, but after trying for a long time, it was all in vain.

There is no way. Other fans work harder than Jiang Xue and strictly guard every gap to prevent others from taking advantage.

Jiang Xue was helpless and could only stand on tiptoe to watch.

There seemed to be quite a few celebrities coming this time, probably around seven or eight.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Wow! Yifei! It's Chen Yifei!"

The crowd became agitated again. Those who had not originally wanted to join the crowd and just wanted to watch the excitement from the side also rushed over after hearing the shouting. Some people even jumped high to see clearly what was happening inside the crowd.

Hu Jiangshan was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Yifei to come over as well.

However, Chen Yifei is a star, so she has to travel around and participate in various activities. After all, this is her job for a living.

But then again, Chen Yifei seldom participates in events, reality shows, or variety shows. She seems to only focus on acting, making her a breath of fresh air among celebrities.

Rarely participating does not mean not participating at all. Chen Yifei will still choose some programs to participate in occasionally.

As mentioned earlier, Hu Jiangshan met Chen Yifei at an event in his previous life, and the two worked very well together at that time.

At this moment, Hu Jiangshan suddenly found that his cousin Hu Mingqian, who was standing next to him, was missing. He looked up and found that she was also squeezing into the crowd, looking very excited.

No way, Hu Mingqian is also a fan? Wasn't she quite calm just now?
Is it because he heard Chen Yifei was coming?
Hu Mingqian likes Chen Yifei? This is quite new.

As expected, Hu Mingqian and Jiang Xue were unable to squeeze in and were firmly blocked outside the crowd. Soon, those stars got on the elevator and they didn't even have a chance to sign autographs for their fans.

Hu Mingqian and Jiang Xue walked back dejectedly, both with their heads down.

Hu Jiangshan smiled: "Did you see anything?"

Jiang Xue shook her head.

Hu Mingqian said: "I did see her, but I couldn't get close to her. However, Chen Yifei is really beautiful! It was my first time seeing her in person, and I was amazed!"

Hu Mingqian is taller, which is an advantage at times like this.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "Do you like Chen Yifei?"

"Yes, I have liked it for a long time. I have watched the TV series and movies starring Chen Yifei many times!"

It seems that Chen Yifei is also quite popular in Hong Kong Island and has many fans.

Hu Jiangshan hesitated whether to reveal that he and Chen Yifei knew each other. He thought Hu Mingqian would be very happy, but he thought it would be better not to say it for the time being. It would be troublesome to ask him to contact Chen Yifei and get his autograph or take a photo with him.

It doesn’t matter when Chen Yifei is free, but the key is that she is obviously working, so don’t disturb her.

The stars had already gone up, security measures were relaxed, the crowd quickly dispersed, and the first floor of the mall returned to its original calm.

Hu Jiangshan and three others went upstairs and when they reached the second floor, they did not see any security measures.

Jiang Xue said: "Strange, where did they go?"

Hu Mingqian said: "He must have found a place to rest."

"That's true. We came all the way here, so we should at least have a meal."

When Jiang Xue said this, her eyes lit up again: "By the way, as long as they are still in the mall, there is still hope!"

Hu Mingqian said: "It seems you still don't give up."

"Then you must not give up! If I miss this day, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

"Well, since you are here, come and have dinner with us."

"Ah? That's not good. It's too disturbing."

"What's the bother? It's not like you haven't eaten at my house before."

"Aren't you going to entertain guests today?"

As she spoke, Jiang Xue also glanced at Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan quickly waved his hands: "I am not a guest. I am a relative, not an outsider."

Hu Mingqian chuckled: "Look, you don't mind, just eat with us, it's more lively with more people, and I won't be bored anymore."

Jiang Xue naturally agreed. What was wrong with having a free meal? Besides, Hu Jiangshan was indeed handsome, and it was not unpleasant to have a meal with him.

A moment later, Hu Kaiyang and Zhao Lina arrived.

Zhao Lina had booked the restaurant in advance, so they could go in directly.

This restaurant also focuses on Southeast Asian flavors, and the dining environment is also very good.

The atmosphere became much more lively with the addition of Jiang Xue.

Halfway through the meal, Hu Jiangshan went to the bathroom.

Just like shopping malls in mainland China, there is no toilet in the restaurant. You need to leave the restaurant and go to the toilet in the mall.

When he came back, Hu Jiangshan suddenly met an acquaintance, Zhang Xiaorou, Chen Yifei's assistant.

Since Chen Yifei came, it was normal for Zhang Xiaorou to follow. However, Hu Jiangshan was still quite surprised. This shopping mall is very big, and it was really a coincidence that they met each other like this.

Zhang Xiaorou was obviously not mentally prepared when she met Hu Jiangshan here, and was stunned on the spot.

“…Huh? It’s you? You, you’re following us!?”

Hu Jiangshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can I talk to you? Do you think I'm a crazy fan?"

"Then why are you here?"

"I just happened to be doing something in Tyrande."

"Then you don't know Yifei is here too?"

"You guys made such a big noise just now, how could I not know about it?"

Zhang Xiaorou felt that what Hu Jiangshan said made sense and did not seem like he was lying.

Just then, Hu Mingqian and Jiang Xue also came out and saw Hu Jiangshan communicating with Zhang Xiaorou.
