Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Recording for the New Season of Star Agency Begins

Inside the hotel where the production crew was staying, Lu Yao and the others looked at Wu Mu with peculiar expressions.

"This bro is so scary that even foreigners who don’t understand Chinese can be moved to tears, huh."

Originally, Lu Yao thought that the song "Star" that Wu Mu performed on the first episode of Masked Singer had been scary enough, but it turned out that Wu Mu’s use of his emotive singing style could be even scarier.

Anyway, if it was "Star," she couldn’t imagine the scene of so many audience members being moved to tears.

Lin Qingyue was marveling at Wu Mu’s new song and her gaze took on a somewhat strange quality as she sized up Wu Mu.

What’s with Wu Mu, his songs getting more emo one after another, yet he can still be this happy every day?

Although she wasn’t a singer, as a fellow creator, she could still feel a bit of the deep meaning in the songs.

To be so anguished and numb to the world that even death seemed like a release, could he really still wear that happy demeanor?

Not only Lin Qingyue couldn’t understand, but the netizens online were also puzzled.

The previous songs could be said to have been written for that bad woman, implying Wu Mu had transformed after moving on from the bad woman’s affair.

But this new song obviously wasn’t written just for the bad woman.

This indicated that Wu Mu had other sources of pain and struggle.

In such a situation, it was hard to imagine him being as jovial as he’d been on the variety shows.

Some people, like Han Yan, started to wonder if Wu Mu was suffering from depression, faking his happiness on the surface.

But quickly, others refuted the idea, claiming there was no way Wu with his demeanor could be depressed.

Judging whether someone is depressed typically involves looking at the light in their eyes, their enthusiasm for life.

And Wu... the light in his eyes was practically spilling out!

When he looked at people, when he looked at the camera, that feeling in his eyes was such that even with his face covered, you could see the smile!

He really seemed as if nothing upset him!

As for passion, could a person who wasn’t passionate about life do things like teasing fans on purpose, dissing rivals on other shows, disguise himself, give haters a taste of their own medicine, and impersonate big names in the music industry...

With all these incidents, it seemed impossible for someone without a zest for life to do such things.

Some people dug up frames from Wu Mu’s collapsed performance in the show for analysis and ultimately concluded that Wu was purely a "fun person" without a worry in the world.

How he managed to maintain such joy in this materialistic and realistic world was anyone’s guess.

But in the end, instead of worrying about whether he was depressed, it might be better to worry about whether one’s own salary was enough to live on.

Ultimately, everyone unanimously felt that whatever painful experiences Wu might have had in the past, he must have put them all behind him by now.

The new episode of Masked Singer sparked heated online discussions, and the program’s entry made it to the top trending lists on major platforms.

And over at Wu Mu’s end, the filming for the new episode of Star Agency had begun.

...

On the second morning after Wu Mu moved into the hotel where the production crew was staying, filming for the new program began.

Four clerks gathered at the hotel entrance.

Lin Qingyue came out to announce, "Firstly, congratulations to Teacher Wu Mu, who, after facing the challenges of the previous tasks, has officially been promoted to a full-time clerk of our agency."

The guests applauded.

Wang Xiaotian stood up with great style, "Well done, I, as your senior, think highly of you."

Lu Yao looked around and then stood tall and proud, "That’s right, I am also a senior!"

Only Zhang Haoran had a sullen look, knowing that he might end up being overshadowed by Wu Mu again this episode, making him feel out of sorts.

Wu Mu looked at everyone, a trace of amusement showing.

Lin Qingyue finished discussing her matters and continued to announce today’s assignment.

"Today’s client is the principal of a township junior high school. He wants to commission a few clerks to be teachers at his school for three days."

Be a teacher?

Lu Yao’s eyes immediately lit up, "Is it a real school?"

She, who was only a few years older than middle schoolers, undoubtedly harbored great enthusiasm for the idea of teaching them.

But it had to be a real school to be interesting; private tutoring centers just wouldn’t be the same.

Lin Qingyue nodded, "Yes, it’s a regular township junior high school that is publicly funded by the state."

A regular township junior high school publicly funded by the state?

Wang Xiaotian, who had a bit more common sense than Lu Yao, said, "Director Lin, if we go there to teach, we’re definitely going to be criticized."

They might call themselves stars, but in the eyes of the public, their status was nowhere near that of a teacher.

If it were a well-respected old artist with both virtue and skill, like Zhang Lifeng, had he not withdrawn from the show, he would have been suitable.

But them... Wang Xiaotian, a comedian with only elementary school education; Wu Mu, a former top idol who dropped out of junior high; and Zhang Haoran, a fresh-faced star who dropped out of high school.

The three of them together couldn’t even make up one college graduate.

Lu Yao was a college student, to be sure, but one from a film academy at that.

Them going to be teachers would only invite criticism for taking students’ education lightly just for the sake of filming a show.

Lin Qingyue had naturally considered this.

She said with a smile, "The client’s school is a township junior high school in need of financial aid due to insufficient government funding. They want to go on our program to promote and raise some donations. Plus, the subjects you’ll be teaching won’t affect the students’ grades — they are all elective classes."

In that case, it wasn’t so bad. Using the excuse of helping the school raise funds made it less likely they’d be criticized.

Wang Xiaotian relaxed and eagerly asked, "So Director Lin, when do we set off?"

Who didn’t like the idea of being a mentor? The opportunity to be a real teacher in a real school was quite exciting.

Lin Qingyue said with a smile, "We can set out once we’ve assigned the subjects each teacher will be teaching."

A small box was brought over.

"Not drawing lots again!" Wang Xiaotian exclaimed in dismay, still spooked by the drawing they did in the last episode.

In the previous episode, where they experienced different jobs, he had drawn nothing but hard-luck professions for the first two days.

He was psychologically scarred by the experience, but Lu Yao couldn’t wait any longer, "I’ll draw first, I’ll draw first!"

She reached into the box and pulled out a slip of paper, "Music Teacher!"

Although music was not her forte, she knew a bit about it and it kind of matched her specialty.

Wang Xiaotian resigned himself to his fate and drew a slip, "Mental Health Teacher."

It seemed he had drawn the short straw again. Wang Xiaotian asked in disbelief, "What even is a Mental Health Teacher, and what am I supposed to teach in class?"

He had no understanding of mental health.

Luckily, the production team was well prepared, "We will provide you with teaching materials later on."

The drawing continued, and Zhang Haoran’s subject was Art Teacher.

Finally, Wu Mu stepped forward and drew Physical Education Teacher.

Music and Physical Education were fine, but a township middle school offering classes in Mental Health and Art?

Clearly, the show had added these subjects specially for the celebrity participants; a township middle school wouldn’t have so many electives.

Even if they were electives, the production team of course wouldn’t let a group of inexperienced celebrities just wing
