Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Introducing a Few Friends to You

Wu Mu’s hot-search situation from the evening program undoubtedly rocketed back into the limelight quickly.

And there were several entries, both about his evening performance and about the scuffle between his fans and Xiao Yi’s fans.

The latter even generated more buzz than the former.

After all, you can watch the evening program anytime, but the thrill of watching a dramatic scene unfolds only when you witness it live.

After grasping the whole story from the verbal battle between the fans, of course, the bystanders were dying of laughter.

This was just too ridiculous. Wu Mu’s anti-fans got upset with Xiao Yi as an unworthy teammate and turned against him instead—just reading the headlines felt explosively funny.

The onlookers might find it amusing, but Geng Wei certainly couldn’t crack a smile.

His face looked extraordinarily grim after receiving feedback from his subordinates.

Before buying the negative press stories, he had never in his wildest dreams anticipated things to spiral out this way.

Unlike Wu Mu and Beijing TV Station, who thought Geng Wei must have been out of his mind to engage in such attacks, he was indeed a prideful individual from the Sky Dragon People, but his mind was perfectly intact.

His purchase of Wu Mu’s negative press was simply a result of misjudging the situation.

He had never expected Beijing TV Station to value Wu Mu to such an extent. He thought that if Wu Mu had to find someone else to sing a song he wrote himself, it clearly meant Beijing TV Station wasn’t that invested in him, wasn’t taking him seriously.

Therefore, he figured that stirring up the public opinion might lead Beijing TV Station to drop the dispensable Wu Mu.

But instead of dropping Wu Mu, they ended up dropping their own He Jie...

When he received the warning from Beijing TV Station, he knew he was in trouble, that Wu Mu might be more valued than he had imagined.

Moreover, it was bad enough that Beijing TV Station valued Wu Mu, but his own artist, Xiao Yi, had thrown a huge blunder in his face...

Now that things had escalated to this level, he had spent money, offended people, and seemingly even helped Wu Mu inadvertently?

There was no way Geng Wei could swallow his pride!

Besides, since he had already offended others, was he supposed to wait passively for Wu Mu to retaliate with increased power?

He immediately summoned his assistant, "Spread the word, I want to ban Wu Mu! If there’s a program that involves him, none of our company’s artists will participate!"

...

Wu Mu soon learned about this from Sha City TV Station’s director Sun Cheng.

He was unfazed—in fact, he was almost amused.

Oh, yet another company wants to ban him?

Little brother, you’ll have to wait in line behind Star Electronics.

This move might have affected him a bit when his house had just collapsed, but now it could hardly be considered impactful.

Through so many episodes, he had already established his irreplaceability, and production houses wanting to work with him wouldn’t possibly be deterred by Geng Wei’s ban.

Moreover, as his fame and ability increased incrementally, Geng Wei’s ban might even turn into a self-imposed one.

Wu Mu didn’t take the matter to heart, but he made a mental note about this person.

After recording the evening party, Wu Mu didn’t return to his hotel but flew back to his hometown in Nangang City.

He was going back to move house!

The Qingyun Mountain Villa apartment had been transferred to his company’s name.

The house was fully furnished and ready for immediate move-in.

It was called moving, but in reality, there wasn’t much to move—just some everyday electronics and game cartridges.

Daily beddings and other living necessities would be bought anew in Beijing.

After thoroughly cleaning his old house and sealing it as it was when he first moved in, Wu Mu left the house he had lived in for several months.

He didn’t intend to make a fuss about moving into the new house.

However, Lin Qingyue, who came to visit, laughed, "Isn’t it inappropriate not to throw a housewarming party? After all, you’re moving into a new place. Shouldn’t you celebrate with a bit of ceremony?"

She had a point—it indeed required a touch of ceremony, especially as it was a departure from the past.

Wu Mu nodded.

But he spread his hands, "I don’t have many friends I could invite. It would be odd to throw a housewarming party for just one or two people, right?"

Indeed, there were scarcely any people he could invite—other than Mo Mo, Wang Xiaotian, Lu Yao, and Liang Fang, very few others were worth inviting.

Not only were there few people, but they were also mostly not in Beijing and probably didn’t have the time.

"Your social circle is abysmally narrow."

Lin Qingyue laughed, then she thought for a moment and said:

"I was planning to have a get-together with my friends soon anyway. If you don’t mind, I can throw it at your place, introduce you to some new friends, and help you celebrate moving into the new house."

Wu Mu didn’t mind at all. While he enjoyed staying in to play games and watch movies and novels, he wasn’t averse to socializing, "Yeah, sure."

Lin Qingyue flipped through her phone, "Let’s do it the day after tomorrow then. It’s a good day for moving, plus it’s a Sunday, and the weather is fine—it’ll be overcast."

"Okay."

Lin Qingyue went on to prepare for the gathering.

Wu Mu also messaged Mo Mo and the others to see if they had time to come.

But as expected, Mo Mo was abroad and couldn’t make it.

Wang Xiaotian had a program to record and was unavailable.

Liang Fang and the others had exams and were cramming.

Even Lu Yao, who was in Beijing for the party yesterday, had jetted off to Hainan for a vacation.

Worse than he thought—none of them could come.

Ultimately, he had to rely on Lin Qingyue’s connections.

...

The day of the gathering arrived quickly.

Early in the morning, Lin Qingyue was shouting from outside, "Wu Mu, come down and help with the stuff."

Yawning, Wu Mu came down, rather helplessly grumbling, "Director Lin, even if you’re not recording a show, why pick such an early time?"

Outside, Lin Qingyue had somehow come in a blue pickup truck, with the truck’s bed filled up with stuff that looked like sound equipment.

"We need time to set these up, can’t start too late," Lin Qingyue said, pointing back at the equipment with a smile.

Besides the things she brought, there was also a person by her side.

"This is my old friend, Zhou Min," Lin Qingyue introduced. "A journalist from Youth Weekly."

Zhou Min was about twenty-four or twenty-five, very easy-going in appearance.

It seemed she didn’t get a heads-up from Lin Qingyue and was eyeing Wu Mu with a surprised and perplexed look.

Lin Qingyue also introduced Wu Mu, "Well, this is Wu Mu."

Zhou Min had a speechless expression, "I know, the big star."

Wu Mu, somewhat sleep-deprived, nodded politely, "Hello, Journalist Zhou."

Zhou Min clearly didn’t anticipate Lin Qingyue introducing her to a celebrity; her eyes swept back and forth between Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue, skeptical, "What’s the situation with you two? Boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Lin Qingyue let out a sound, "Don’t spoil someone’s reputation now. If Wu Mu’s going to date, it would be with Mo Mo."

She laughed as she explained, "Wu Mu’s moving into a new place and doesn’t have anyone to celebrate with, so I thought since we’re getting together anyway, let’s just have it at his place."

Seeing Zhou Min’s continued puzzled look, she further clarified, "Wu Mu’s a really nice guy. I just thought I’d introduce him to you all."

Wu Mu’s nice?

Him?

A celebrity who’s scandalously known as a home wrecker?
