This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 670 - 454
(Don’t look yet, adding the title means it’s been revised.)
The first familiar face was Wang Xiaotian.
A companion from "Star Agency" a long time ago.
Wu Mu hadn’t seen him for a while and often received "jealous" texts and calls from Wang Xiaotian.
Seeing him again now was a bit surprising, "Brother Wang, what brings you to Bilibili’s gala?"
The overall atmosphere of Bilibili is quite youthful, which doesn’t really match Wang Xiaotian’s somewhat old-school image.
Wang Xiaotian was even more surprised, "Wu Mu, what are you doing here? Why aren’t you at the Spring Festival Gala?"
Like netizens, he thought Wu Mu was taking a break.
Turns out he wasn’t resting but working?
Then why not go to the more popular Spring Festival Gala?
Having been filtered out of the Spring Festival Gala, Wu Mu was stubborn, his expression unchanged, "Spring Festival Gala? Not interested, don’t want to go."
But Wang Xiaotian responded with an "Oh, I figured."
Yeah, when others say this, it might sound stubborn or absurd.
But when Wu Mu says it, it makes perfect sense.
Besides Wang Xiaotian, the second familiar face was Zhao Xue.
Recognized as one of the national-level actresses within the industry, Wu Mu didn’t have a deep relationship with her, but they had interacted during an early episode of "Masked Singer," so they were considered acquaintances.
Zhao Xue was originally a main invitee for this Bilibili event and had been in negotiations with them over the price, but for some inexplicable reason, Bilibili’s attitude suddenly became firm.
At the time, she didn’t understand what was going on.
Seeing Wu Mu now... she immediately realized what was happening.
Although she indeed had higher visibility than Wu Mu across the age demographics, among young people, it’s hard to say if she could surpass him.
And when it comes to program effects, comparing to Wu Mu, it was a bit challenging for her.
Zhao Xue proactively smiled and greeted, "It’s rare to see the king of popularity in our circle."
Wu Mu, you’re all the rage now, last time—

But before he reached the hotel, he unexpectedly spotted a familiar face on the roadside.
Huh, why’s she here?
Wu Mu curiously eyed a figure standing at the entrance of a restaurant ahead.
It was Su Meng, someone he met during the first season of "Star Agency."
She was standing next to a red Ferrari, looking quite upset, talking to someone inside the Ferrari.
Wu Mu couldn’t see what the person in the Ferrari looked like, but that person was evidently quite irritable, because after exchanging just a few words, they suddenly pressed the gas pedal, leaving Su Meng behind and driving away.
Leaving Su Meng standing there, frowning at the scene.
Wu Mu smilingly drove up, rolled down the window, and said amusingly, "Long time no see, Little Su."
Su Meng turned to look at him, appearing slightly taken aback.
This was only their second time meeting in person.
Still, Su Meng seemed to keep up with his life; Wu Mu often received feedback from her on his new songs via WeChat.
They didn’t chat much, just simply complimented how good his songs were.
Well, whether they’re haters or die-hard fans, at least they contribute to the viewership.
Wu Mu chuckled and said, "Did your driver run off? Want me to give you a lift?"
Su Meng hesitated slightly, "I’ll tell the folks at home first."
"Aunt Qing, you don’t need to come over, yeah, a friend is giving me a ride home, okay, I know."
After the call, Su Meng opened the passenger door next to Wu Mu and got in.
After learning her destination, Wu Mu was quite curious, "Aren’t you from Shen City? What brings you here?"
Su Meng shook her head, "I am from Shen City, but my family also has a house here in Beijing."
She paused for a moment, a rare smile on her face, "We were just at the venue, and when you sang your first song, my friends wanted to cover their ears."
Wu Mu laughed heartily, "Well, that’s not my concern, I didn’t sing anything wrong."
Wu Mu and Su Meng chatted idly, and soon he dropped her off home, at a large courtyard house not far from the Forbidden City in the Upper City District.
Yeah, confirmed, another member of the Heavenly Dragon People.
Wu Mu was quite surprised, although he could tell from her daily behavior that Su Meng’s family was likely well-off.
But he didn’t expect them to be this wealthy.
This courtyard house alone must be worth at least—
The host wasn’t available at the moment, Yang Rongfa asked, "Many top directors and industry moguls are here today, should I introduce you?"
This is an opportunity for a typical person in the industry.
It’s always good to know more people.
But... recalling the last experience at a wine reception, Yang Rongfa wisely chose to ask first.
Wu Mu shook his head, "No..."
But halfway through shaking his head, his eyes swept over a small lounge by the main living room, partially blocked from view, and paused slightly.
"Director Lin is here too?" Wu Mu inquired to Yang Rongfa.
He was referring to Director Lin, naturally not Lin Qingyue, but Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.
Even though Lin Qingyue could come back tonight, she needed to handle crew matters, so she won’t be here.
Moreover, he had mentioned to Lin Qingyue this morning that he was going to attend this reception; if Lin Qingyue was coming, she would have definitely informed him.
"Yeah, Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang are here too," Yang Rongfa nodded.
Wu Mu thought for a moment, these two were also top-level directors in the industry like Lin Xueming, belonging to the circle’s upper echelon.
However, he didn’t aspire to win over these top directors for resources, so he wasn’t pressed about meeting them.
But with Lin Xueming here, it would be disrespectful not to greet him.
"I’ll go say hi to Director Lin," he decided, and stepped toward the small lounge.
"Director Lin and they are here, would you like to say hi to them?" Yang Rongfa leaned over and whispered.
