Chapter 162: Chapter 162: The Former Big Fan

A rating of 0.5 was considered the threshold for popular variety shows, and ever since Wu Mu had joined the Star Agency, the viewership had consistently increased, reaching peaks of even 0.65.

But unfortunately, the average viewership was still just a breath away from 0.5.

Now, as the first season was concluding, Lin Qingyue undoubtedly hoped her program could break through that line into the realm of hit variety shows.

Everyone naturally nodded, indicating their support.

The next day, the production crew and Lu Yao and Wang Xiaotian took a flight back home.

Wu Mu, however, didn’t leave, as the Paris Game Show hadn’t finished yet, and he definitely wanted to see it through before leaving.

Once the game show ended, he finally took a flight back alone.

Then, as soon as he disembarked, he encountered an unexpected incident.

He got trapped and couldn’t exit the airport.

The airport’s exit hall was completely packed with people.

A dense crowd filled the exit hall, seeming to wait for someone.

Though the person they were waiting for was probably not exiting from Wu Mu’s gate, as they were all facing another exit, the crowd was so massive that they ended up blocking his exit as well.

At first, Wu Mu thought something serious had happened, and he was baffled.

Then he heard a wave of screams from the noisy crowd in front of him.

"Ah, Xiao Yi!"

"Xiao Yi, I love you!"

"Happy Birthday, Xiao Yi!"

Tsk, it was just fans picking up a celebrity.

Wu Mu found it amusing, especially since it was a celebrity he knew well.

But could Xiao Yi really have so many fans at a pickup?

He was familiar with fan pickups; before his house collapsed, he always had fans waiting for him at his trips.

But usually, it was just a few dozen or a hundred at most, and having two hundred was considered a busy event.

Not just for him, but that was generally the max for other celebrities in the circle as well.

However, at a glance, there seemed to be at least a thousand people here.

Was Xiao Yi’s fan club gathering, or did they simply hire actors?

Wu Mu pondered this, not too interested really.

"Hey, make some way, let me get through!"

He tried to squeeze through.

But the fan he pushed was in the midst of shouting excitedly, obviously annoyed by the interruption, "Can’t you just wait, what’s the hurry?"

"Hey, blocking the way like this with your pickup isn’t really right, you know." Wu Mu chuckled.

It’s always you with the issues!

Everyone else is fine with it, but you have complaints, huh!

The fan glared at Wu Mu, but upon looking up and seeing his face clearly, she was taken aback.

This guy looks kind of familiar...

With a mask and a hat, Wu Mu’s face was hard to recognize from a distance, but up close, one could feel a sense of familiarity.

Especially since Xiao Yi’s fans had recently had a big clash with Wu Mu’s "fans," this made him even more recognizable.

She quickly recalled who Wu Mu was, whispering in shock, "Wu Dog!"

Among Xiao Yi’s fans, "Wu Dog" was undoubtedly a sensitive term.

The others nearby immediately looked over with puzzled eyes.

Then, they also noticed.

Wu Mu?

What was he doing here?

Xiao Yi’s fans were undoubtedly shocked, having never expected to run into a rival star.

Everyone momentarily forgot to cheer for their own idol, instead alerting the people nearby that Wu Mu was also there.

Then quickly, the news that Wu Mu had returned to Beijing today spread.

Just as they exited the terminal building, Xiao Yi’s team also found out.

Xiao Yi’s manager, after a moment of astonishment, grew anxious, "Everyone, keep calm, please don’t start a fight!"

Although Wu Mu was a rival to his artist, and though he secretly wished Wu Mu would disappear to stop hindering their company’s earnings, he definitely didn’t want Wu Mu’s disappearance to be caused by his artist’s fans.

That would be bad for Wu Mu, but they’d be in trouble too.

Xiao Yi’s manager quickly squeezed through the crowd, wanting to go to Wu Mu’s side to ask his fans to restrain themselves.

But he overthought it.

Nobody actually intended to physically attack Wu Mu.

The Xiao Yi fans around Wu Mu, although all glaring at him with dissatisfaction, no one actually went up to throw a punch at him.

Well, although everyone online cursed Wu Mu, wishing him dead, in reality, they still managed to stay somewhat rational.

Xiao Yi’s manager breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting to talk to Wu Mu, didn’t even bother to greet him, just directed the surrounding Xiao Yi fans, "Make way, please, let the people inside come out."

Wu Mu, relaxed and exceedingly calm, walked out under the watchful eyes of Xiao Yi’s fans.

Then, just as he was about to reach the door, he stopped, looking curiously towards the inconspicuous corner where seven or eight people were standing.

He had bumped into acquaintances again, but they were from his past memories.

It was a major fan from his past, who had spent a lot of money to help him climb the charts and boost sales, and also managed many fan groups for him.

She was always present at every fan event and picking-up event, and they had met in private and exchanged contact information, so he remembered her well.

He looked at the positioning of these people, then approached with a smile, "Hey, you guys didn’t come to pick me up, did you?"

Wu Mu’s major fan, Shu Mei, felt very conflicted.

Having spent so much money on Wu Mu and put so much effort into managing fan groups, she was truly a hardcore fan of Wu Mu.

Then, as deeply as she loved, she was equally wounded by the incident of Wu Mu’s scandal.

The moment she confirmed the truth of Wu Mu’s scandal privately, she immediately had a mental breakdown and dissolved all the fan groups she managed, deleted Wu Mu’s contact info, and resolved never to engage with this despicable person again.

Then... after uninstalling all social media apps, archiving old contacts, and deliberately avoiding any news about Wu Mu, she unexpectedly read about Wu Mu’s name in a magazine her father subscribed to, which leaned towards official releases.

To be honest, when she saw the report about Wu Mu, she was stunned.

What kind of person was this Wu Mu who knew English and Russian, had self-studied university courses, and knew how to make games?

Apart from the name, could this person really be the same Wu Mu she remembered?

She couldn’t resist going online to search for news about Wu Mu again.

Then she found out that in the months since she had stopped being his fan, everything had changed!

Her familiar idol, always positive and serious, when did he become someone who liked to enhance show effects?

And what was going on with his songwriting and singing abilities? Could that be possible?

After watching all the shows following Wu Mu’s scandal, Shu Mei had to admit, she was confused, but deeply shocked.

But confusing as it was, the Wu Mu who emerged from the ashes was indeed a bit captivating...

After looping the songs Wu Mu sang for several days, she ultimately couldn’t resist and reactivated her old account.

Well, since that darn thing said he was also deceived, she might as well give him another chance...
