Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Artists from His Company Should Be Careful in the Future

Wu Mu’s new Weibo post undoubtedly added fuel to the already bustling online frenzy.

Now it wasn’t just his anti-fans hopping on the bandwagon, but also plenty of onlookers who excitedly came over to watch the drama unfold.

A company invited Wu but got angry and bought negative press to bash him when they failed?

And this company is rumored to treat its artists like slaves?

How thrilling is that!

"Wu really dares to speak his mind!"

"Pass the popcorn, pass the popcorn!"

"Front-row seat for the drama!"

"Who’s going to dig up which artists are under Tianwei Entertainment’s control? I want a list of all the slaves in five minutes!"

The onlookers were spamming his new Weibo post.

Then swiftly, a list of artists under Tianwei Entertainment Company was exposed.

Leading the pack, unquestionably, was the top star, Xiao Yi.

This only intensified everyone’s eagerness to watch the situation unfold.

The general public was already weary of the anti-fans’ clamor and boycott against Wu; it had started from a previous scandal and initiated several boycotts since.

If something substantial had resulted from these efforts, it might be different, but each time, absolutely nothing came of it. Wu just seemed to be doing better and better despite the boycotts, leaving onlookers feeling indifferent—who could be interested in that?

Everyone was keener on discussing whether other top celebrities were indeed being treated like slaves.

People were digging through various channels to uncover what Xiao Yi’s situation was really like within the company.

Xiao Yi’s fans were naturally outraged and struck back against these suggestions.

However, a portion of Xiao Yi’s fans started to sense something amiss.

Wait a minute, if Wu really rejected Tianwei Entertainment’s offer, wouldn’t that actually be a good thing for their idol?

After all, if Wu had really signed with Tianwei Entertainment, he would undoubtedly have to share the company’s resources allocated for Xiao Yi. Given Wu’s performance on variety shows prior, there was a risk that he could completely overshadow their brother’s resources.

Their brother wouldn’t want to see this kind of scenario, right?

But then why were the fan group admins rallying them to go against Wu Mu?

Damn it, could their brother actually be a slave in all this...

...

Wu didn’t take the online buzz seriously after receiving confirmation from Lin Qingyue that the post wouldn’t be taken down—he didn’t pay much more attention to the matter.

He made a mental note to remember Tianwei Entertainment Company and that Geng Wei. He’d definitely have to pay them back in the future.

Wu continued to be busy with rehearsals and house hunting. The house wasn’t sorted out yet, but he went ahead and bought a car first.

A black, fully loaded Audi A8, totaling just over two million.

Getting around in Beijing without a car was quite inconvenient.

The car, like the house, was registered under one of his companies, complete with license plates.

A two million car was a fairly average price among first and second-tier celebrities; it was also visually discreet and low-profile.

Wu chose it simply because in his past life, he’d driven an A8, and he was used to it.

A few days after he picked up the car, the rehearsal period finally concluded, and the day for the official recording and live broadcast arrived.

...

On the day of the program’s taping, at 6:40 PM, twenty minutes before the official recording,

the head of Beijing TV Station, Hu Qing, along with the deputy head, Xiong Guanglin, were leading some staff members, waiting outside the venue, looking like they were ready to greet someone important.

They didn’t have to wait long; the person they were there to welcome arrived soon after.

A blue BMW halted in front of them.

Lin Qingyue got out of the car, smiling as she greeted them, "Director."

The director of Beijing TV Station, Hu Qing, had a face full of kind smiles, "Qingyue, traffic must have been tough."

Then, looking through the window at the back-seat passenger about to disembark, he put aside small talk and hurried to help open the car door, "Elder Du."

An elderly man, full of vigor and probably in his seventies or eighties, stepped out of the car.

This was Lin Qingyue’s grandfather, Du Xingguo, who was also the respected elder guest that the TV station director had been waiting to welcome.

Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming, was also present, he got out from the other side of the car and, nodding at Hu Qing and Xiong Guanglin, went to the other side to assist Du Xingguo.

However, Du Xingguo declined their help with a wave of his hand, saying quite effortlessly, "There’s no need for all this fuss, I just came to join the fun and have a look at the show."

"How long until it starts?" he asked, leading the way inside.

Hu Qing quickly followed beside him, making conversation.

Lin Xueming was half a step behind, keeping an eye on his father-in-law’s condition.

Xiong Guanglin and Lin Qingyue walked at the rear, he laughed, "Qingyue, it’s thanks to you that you were able to invite Elder Du."

Lin Qingyue laughed, "I can’t take all the credit; grandpa just wanted to get out and about."

Xiong Guanglin nodded, not dwelling on the matter, but switched to another concern, "What’s the situation online now?"

The recent online buzz had, after all, put some pressure on them at the station.

After all, online bashing alone didn’t matter, but when calls of complaints came through various channels, it inevitably caused some trouble.

Who wouldn’t worry that this matter might catch the attention of higher-ups and then leave a bad impression on them?

But as troublesome as it was, the more it was a time like this, the less he could pull Wu Mu from the program.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it prove that his decision to invite Wu Mu onto the show was indeed a mistake?

Moreover, with the trouble being quite insignificant, especially since they had just managed to invite Lin Qingyue’s grandfather to watch the show and Wu Mu was someone Lin Qingyue had recommended.

"It’s the same old online. Plenty of people are still cursing, but after we reached out to Tianwei Entertainment Company, they pulled the negative articles," Lin Qingyue said nonchalantly.

Speaking of Tianwei Entertainment, Xiong Guanglin couldn’t help but scoff, "Lawless. In the future, we’ll be cautious about inviting artists from his company onto our station’s programs!"

If it weren’t for the last-minute rush, he would even want to drop Xiao Yi and He Jie from the evening show.

The group chatted as they entered the venue of the evening show.

Guests and the audience had already started to arrive.

Unlike other variety shows that invite random audiences to the recording, the audience for the 6-7 evening show were all specially invited by Beijing TV Station.

Mostly social elites, well-known intellectuals, their station’s advertising partners, people from various departments, and so on.

Hu Qing ushered Lin Qingyue’s grandfather to his seat, and not long after, the live broadcast of the evening show officially began.

But though it was called a live broadcast, it was actually a delayed live broadcast. They started recording the program at seven o’clock, but it wouldn’t be broadcast on TV until seven-thirty, delayed by half an hour.

At the front, the program announced the start of the broadcast.

Backstage, in Wu Mu’s resting room, the atmosphere was undeniably a bit weird and delicate.

The reason, of course, was that he wasn’t the only one there resting; Xiao Yi and another young fresh meat singer, Xu Zhichun, were also present.

Xiao Yi’s expression was undoubtedly gloomy.

He had no sense of superiority over Wu Mu now; all he felt was regret for participating in this program.

He must have been cursed for eight lifetimes!

To encounter such a moronic boss, to come across such moronic colleagues!

He truly couldn’t understand how Geng Wei could be such an idiot.

If that damned guy didn’t want to sign, just don’t sign; what the hell was he doing going for revenge?

And even with revenge, could he not have used some other method? Just target that guy alone, what was the point of dragging Beijing TV Station into it?
