Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Who is the Flying Guest?
Chapter 36 -36 Who is the Flying Guest?
“Bought it.” Wu Mu spread his hands, “I have a house in Beijing worth over eighty million.”
Lin Qingyue was puzzled, “Then why are you living here?”
Wu Mu didn’t bring up the reason involving Liu Lan again. Since this matter had been clarified before, there was no need to keep mentioning it, otherwise it would seem like he was still hung up on it.
He just said, “I don’t want to live there anymore, and I’m planning to sell it soon. It would be just right to cover the endorsement fee.”
Lin Qingyue was curious, “Is the four hundred million compensation you mentioned earlier true?”
“Close enough.”
“So how much are you still short?”
How much?
Wu Mu calculated in his mind. He originally had forty million in savings, the singer-songwriter was paid twenty million after taxes, and if the house was sold, there would be eighty million more, totaling one hundred and forty million.
The “Farewell” album had been a slow burn and sold over four million copies, which was more than forty-eight million. After deducting the music platform’s thirty percent, there was still over thirty-three million left.
Adding the payment from this Star Agency, the total income was roughly close to one hundred seventy-seven million.
Later, he planned to sell the streaming rights to a few of the singer-songwriter’s songs to a music platform, which would likely bring in a few million more, making it a total of one hundred eighty million.
So he was still short…
“A bit over two hundred million.” Wu Mu replied.
Hmm, he’d have to deduct the seventy to eighty million from Star Electronics. He wouldn’t pay this money first; he’d wait for the judgment, appeal, and drag it out for a year or two.
He had initially thought about repaying actively, but since Star Electronics was going to blacklist him, how could he continue to be eager to repay?
After deducting this seventy to eighty million, there would be about a little over one hundred million left.
*There was hope to pay it off within a few months!*
Once the Farewell album was fully realized, a few Performance Cards would be enough.
*Originally, he thought it would take at least a year or a half, but calculating like this, it seemed it wouldn’t take that long.*
*Wu Mu’s mood became uplifted.*
Lin Qingyue, however, looked at him with empathy, over two hundred million?
*How long would Wu Mu have to repay that?*
*She suddenly felt a little guilty about her previous negotiating down tactics.*
After the introduction segment at Wu Mu’s home was filmed, Lin Qingyue introduced the upcoming schedule to him, “Teacher Wu Mu, later we will fly together to Jiangning. The recording location for this episode is in Jiangning, and the other guests of the show will gather there.”
“Sure.”
The group went out for breakfast, then got on a plane to Jiangning.
…
Jiangning City, in front of Jiangning Hotel.
The “Star Agency” show had already started filming.
The talented variety show star Wang Xiaotian was creating a program effect as he shouted to a director summarizing last episode’s tasks, “Not listening, not listening, we want Director Lin to come out and talk, seeing Director Lin on the show is what I look forward to the most. Where is Director Lin?”

The new-generation actress Lu Yao joined in the fun, also shouting, “Yeah, where’s Sister Qingyue? We want Sister Qingyue! Without her, we’ll quit the show!”
Traffic star Zhang Haoran clearly was concerned but seemed too shy to join in.
Senior figure Zhang Lifeng seemed composed, “Director Lin went to pick up the guest, right?”
The director nodded helplessly, “Yes, Director Lin left around four or five in the morning to pick up the guest.”
Wang Xiaotian exclaimed, “Who is it, getting such special treatment, having Director Lin personally picking them up?”
Then he looked cautious, “Could it be a handsome guy?”
The director, knowing who the guest was, thought for a moment and said, “Indeed, he’s quite handsome.”
The new-generation actress Lu Yao’s eyes sparkled, “Compared to Haoran?”
Zhang Haoran snorted as if disdainful of the comparison.
The director, clearly an honest person, looked at Zhang Haoran and responded truthfully, “He’s better looking than Mr. Haoran.”
Huh?
Originally, Wang Xiaotian was deliberately creating a program effect, and now he was surprised. *Zhang Haoran, after all, was a proper traffic star and absolutely handsome; usually, in such comparisons, it’s rare to definitively say one is better looking than the other.*
*After all, everyone has their own subjective judgments.*
*But the director mentioned without hesitation that the coming person was handsomer than Zhang Haoran, suggesting a clear difference in appearance.*
*Wang Xiaotian thought about who could meet such standards come into focus quickly.*
Could it be Wu Mu? Just recently, he was looking for work on Weibo. Director Lin sure had guts.
Wang Xiaotian pondered in his heart.
He immediately guessed it, while Lu Yao took quite a while guessing name by name.
The director kept shaking his head.
*Despite mentioning nearly every celebrity around, none was correct. She suspected whether the director was teasing her.* “Those who are handsomer than Haoran are just a few people, if not them then who?”
Zhang Lifeng figured it out early, “It’s Wu Mu, isn’t it?”
Before the director could answer, Lu Yao shook her head, answering for him, “Uncle Zhang, how could it be Wu Mu? He’s been blacklisted; there’s no way he could be on our show.”
Idiot.
Wang Xiaotian muttered silently, while on the surface he joined the program effect, “Yeah, how could it be him? Humph, I wish it was him, he stole my goddess, I want to get revenge!”
Lu Yao was curious, “Xiaotian, who’s your goddess?”
“Mo Mo!” Wang Xiaotian said with an obviously “how could you be so dumb” look.
“Oh, Sister Mo Mo.” She waved, “Xiaotian, you’re overthinking it. Sister Mo Mo already said on the show before that there’s nothing between her and Wu Mu. Those rumors are baseless.”
Idiot.
Now it wasn’t just Wang Xiaotian, even Zhang Haoran thought to himself.
*You really believed Mo Mo just because she said that? Does she look like someone who wouldn’t act like nothing happened?*
*But Wu Mu coming on the show?*
*Zhang Haoran instinctively furrowed his brow.*
*He didn’t want it to be Wu Mu. Despite Wu Mu’s fall, their images still overlapped in parts.*
*Having two traffic idols in one show would mean more focus on one over the other.*
*Besides, even before Wu Mu’s fall, their relationship wasn’t smooth.*
*Traffic and traffic competition are fierce, competing for shows, endorsements, ranking, basically everything. Industry resources are limited; if you get more, I get less.*
*Previously, Wu Mu undoubtedly overshadowed him in popularity and reputation.*
*Wu Mu’s setback delighted traffic idols like him, thinking Wu Mu would fade away.*
*But who could have guessed Wu Mu would stabilize the situation with just a few singer-songwriter episodes.*
*Finally, with Star Electronics blacklisting him, he thought he’d have a win, only for Wu Mu to appear on his show again.*
*Zhang Haoran was displeased.*
