Chapter 48 -48: Watching the Show
“Although the production team was still playing coy with the audience, not revealing the identity of the mystery guest,
Mo Songlin, with a hint from his daughter beforehand, couldn’t not know that the guest was Wu Mu.
“Is this Wu Mu’s house?” Mo Songlin asked curiously.
It was somewhat strange: the old and dilapidated security door and hallway didn’t seem to fit the status of a big star like Wu Mu.
Mo Mo shook her head; she didn’t know either.
Even though she had already taken a liking to Wu Mu, she had to admit that she knew nothing about his personal life or private status.
She hadn’t neglected to look up Teacher Wu Mu’s previous program materials during this time, but after watching them, she felt that while Teacher Wu Mu from the past programs seemed nice, something was missing. He didn’t quite match the image of Teacher Wu Mu she had in her heart.
However…
After hearing the muffled “Who is it” through the security door on the TV, Mo Mo felt an unexplainable sense of relief and couldn’t help but smile: that was more like it.
The security door opened, and Wu Mu appeared on the screen, sleepy-eyed, bare-faced, with his hair in disarray.
Watching his half-awake complaints about the production team, Mo Songlin got a general first impression of Wu Mu.
Easygoing, down-to-earth, and approachable.
Not bad, but he wondered whether Wu Mu was putting on an act.
Gu Yu, Mo Mo’s mother, was more interested in another aspect as she looked at Wu Mu’s face with keen interest, “Is he really this handsome in person?”
Mo Mo, who had a lot to say on this topic, confirmed, “Teacher Wu Mu really is this handsome in person! His bare face looks exactly the same as on TV!”
Gu Yu exclaimed, “He was born to be in this business.”
On the TV, the camera had begun to push its way into Wu Mu’s home.
After the shaky footage stabilized, an undeniably modest house appeared in front of the three viewers.
“How can his home look like this?”
Mo Songlin asked in surprise.
He had thought the security door was just an exception and that things would look better inside.
But to his astonishment, the interior seemed even less impressive than the security door.
That was somewhat odd.
As someone in the industry, Mo Songlin was well informed about the incomes of stars at various levels. Wu Mu had once been a top-trending celebrity, and even if his life had taken a turn for the worse, logically speaking, he shouldn’t be living in such a place.
It’s like on many shows, where stars talk about their most helpless and painful times being when they had “only a couple of million in the bank.”
Even if Wu Mu’s situation had deteriorated, in theory, he shouldn’t have just a couple of million in his bank account.
Could it all be a deliberate attempt at crafting an image?
Mo Songlin murmured to himself and subconsciously glanced at his daughter.
Mo Mo, however, had no thoughts about whether Wu Mu was intentionally creating an image or not; she was watching intently.
Is this the kind of place Teacher Wu Mu lives in?
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.
It looks old; does he like this style?
Mo Mo thought to herself.
On the TV, after the camera settled for a few seconds to give the audience an overall impression, it began to scan the interior of Wu Mu’s home.
But as it panned, the camera suddenly stopped, and the frame zoomed in.
A cluttered couch appeared before everyone.
Seeing the various items carelessly placed on the couch, Mo Mo found it amusing.
It’s a bit messy; Teacher Wu Mu is quite lazy.
And Teacher Wu Mu really likes gaming!
So it wasn’t just for the show; he’s really gaming even when he’s at home!
Mo Mo mused to herself.
The TV camera then cut to a close-up of the garbage can.”
Mo Mo immediately noticed that Wu Mu’s trash bin was filled with takeout containers.
Doesn’t Teacher Mu know how to cook?
She didn’t know how to either, so would she have to hire a nanny or learn by herself in the future?
Mo Mo’s mind wandered as she pondered on this.
On the television, after a segment of following Wu Mu’s daily routines, Lin Qingyue briefly interviewed him.
Hearing Wu Mu say that he owned an apartment worth over eighty million, Mo Songlin nodded, realizing that his previous speculation about Wu Mu establishing a public facade was wrong.
If he was really faking his image, there would be no need to say those things now.
However, with a four hundred million compensation, they were still two hundred million short…
Mo Songlin couldn’t help but remind his daughter, “Xiao Mo, you must think this through. If you really get together with him, you’ll have to help him pay off two hundred million.”
Gu Yu also nodded, “That’s no small sum, it would take many years to earn.”
Mo Mo herself was quite relaxed.
Two hundred million?
She had it!
After the daily life footage at Wu Mu’s home ended on the TV, the program cut back to the initial segment where they were guessing the identity of the guest.
Wang Xiaotian played the fool, saying it couldn’t be Wu Mu, and if it was, he would claim his goddess Mo Mo was tricked away by Wu Mu.
Hearing Wang Xiaotian say his goddess Mo Mo had been snatched away by Wu Mu, Mo Songlin and Gu Yu both shook their heads with amusement.
It could only be said that their daughter’s popularity was just too high; the slightest rumors were spreading everywhere, both inside and outside the circle.
Mo Mo’s face burned with embarrassment.
When had she been tricked away by Teacher Mu?
What had the rumors outside turned into?
She could only muster her strength and say, “Teacher Wang Xiaotian is just making jokes on purpose.”
Amidst the guessing and chattering of the regular members at Star Agency, Wu Mu finally appeared on the scene.
Watching Wu Mu and Wang Xiaotian banter as if performing a comedy skit about Wu Mu being boycotted by Star Electronics, Gu Yu found it quite amusing.
“He really dares to speak his mind, provoking on purpose despite the boycott.”
Mo Songlin nodded in agreement, “His attitude is good; maintaining such a mindset after being boycotted is impressive indeed.”
As someone within the industry, he was all too aware of the severity of being boycotted.
It might seem like just one private company’s boycott.
But with Star Electronics’ influence and backing in the business sector, it could greatly affect a celebrity’s commercial value.
Many TV stations and production companies would tend to avoid inviting Wu Mu due to such a boycott.
After all, there are so many celebrities in the industry, and in situations where anyone else could be called upon, why go out of the way to offend others?
Sigh, if his daughter really ended up with him, he feared she might get dragged down as well.
Mo Songlin sighed internally.
Watching up to now, he unexpectedly found Wu Mu’s entire persona to actually be quite appealing.
He was very interesting, relaxed, and at the very least, one wouldn’t have to worry about him living a life filled with tremendous hardships and deep hatred.
But the issues surrounding Wu Mu were indeed very headache-inducing.
A bad reputation might just be considered superficial, something one can overlook if they’re not personally bothered by it, but compensating money and being boycotted were concrete troubles.
Life is not just about love; beyond romance, one must also consider material factors.
Objectively speaking, he definitely wouldn’t approve of his daughter’s relationship with Wu Mu.
But his daughter was also an adult capable of taking responsibility for herself, and their family’s approach to education had always been to give advice, not to force acceptance.
At the end of the day, it was still up to his daughter to make her own choice, and all they could do was offer their opinions as guidance.
Mo Songlin didn’t rush to share his thoughts out loud but smiled and said, “I’ve never watched Star Agency before, now I find it quite interesting.”
