This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 55 - The Client is a Game Company
Chapter 55: Chapter 55 The Client is a Game Company
Chapter 55 -55 The Client is a Game Company
Someone immediately reported the issue of Wu Mu’s inflated sales to the platform’s customer service.
The platform’s customer service, receiving multiple reports, took it very seriously and started an investigation right away. Then, they quickly gave out the investigation results,
“The vendor did not inflate sales; all purchasing accounts are real and valid.”
Not inflating sales?
Everybody was undoubtedly bewildered.

The platform shouldn’t be making mistakes—it’s quite easy to check something like inflated sales, especially in situations with tens of thousands of transactions in a short period.
Whether it’s a real person buying or the buyer is part of a scheme, such things are generally clear at first glance.
Now that there’s no inflated sales, the items in Wu Mu’s store were actually sold…
“…Don’t tell me there are people who actually buy Wu’s stuff.”
“???”
“What idiot would buy something that’s clearly a scam for the gullible? ”
“Who the hell is buying Wu’s stuff?!”
“Was it his fans?”
“No way, Wu’s reputation is in such shambles, and there are still fans buying?”
Wu Mu’s Weibo exploded again.
Everyone was trying to find out who bought the stuff.
After thinking it over and over, they concluded that only Wu Mu’s fans might have bought it.
After all, it couldn’t have been a thousand normal people buying, right?
The scythe for reaping the gullible is practically in their face; could a normal person really be that foolish?
Any way you look at it, only brainless fans would disregard the price and rush in.
*Discovering* this fact made everyone feel like they’d just eaten something revolting.
They had been loudly berating Wu, saying only idiots would buy from someone so blatantly exploiting people.
Yet in one night, everything was sold out?
This dog of a person has such a ruined reputation, yet secretly, there are so many fans still supporting him?
Doesn’t this make us look like complete fools!
Damn it, can these brainless fans just go die!
…
Everyone on Weibo was feeling sickened.
At the program site, the guests and staff were also shocked.
Everyone looked at Wu Mu like he was some kind of monster.
No way, bro, you actually have fans?
With prices that practically grind people’s brains into the ground, fans are still supporting you?
Over two million in one night, two million!
Wang Xiaotian looked at Wu Mu as if he were some kind of deity.
He was feeling incredibly jealous inside.
The envy was all-consuming!
Is it because he’s good-looking that he can be so reckless? Even with such scandals out, he still has fans secretly supporting him?
Good looks and vanity are the worst!
Next to him, Zhang Haoran was even more envious!
He always thought his own popularity wasn’t much less than Wu Mu’s, with only slightly fewer fans.
But having thousands of fans willing to spend more than two hundred each… even after his fall…
Was Wu Mu really that popular?
He began to lose a bit of confidence.
Or maybe the scandal with Wu Mu wasn’t as damaging as he thought?
Could all the shouting online to beat him down actually be fake? Saying one thing but doing another?
The atmosphere at the program’s recording site was a bit odd for a moment.
It was Director Lin Qingyue who finally broke the silence.
She jokingly teased Wang Xiaotian, “Xiaotian, couldn’t it be you riling us up while secretly snapping up the goods?”
Wang Xiaotian almost couldn’t hold back. Was he really that big of a buyout sucker?
But with Wu Mu right beside him, he couldn’t speak too bluntly. So he replied relatively mildly, “I might not be the target audience for Wu Mu’s store. Hmm, maybe Yaoyao is.”
Lu Yao, suddenly called out, panicked a little on her face, “Ah, me? I didn’t buy it, how could I buy such a thing!”
…You’re really the target, huh.
Everyone was somewhat speechless.
Wang Xiaotian squinted at the attempt of a calm front from Lu Yao, sneering, “Inside person.”
Lu Yao’s face flushed, “I really didn’t buy it, that cup is so expensive and not at all pretty. How could I buy it?”
After defending herself, she quickly shifted the topic, “Sister Qingyue, what’s our commission for this episode?”
The show finally got back on track.
Lin Qingyue pulled out the commission letter and began to introduce it, “This episode’s client is a local Shen City game company—Mingyu Game. They’ve recently launched a new job simulation game, and they want to promote it through our program. So they’re commissioning you clerks to play the characters in their new game, personally experiencing the game process, and getting involved in various job activities.”
Game company?
Wang Xiaotian and the others instinctively glanced at Wu Mu.
Who doesn’t know—having watched the last episode and the first four episodes of the singer-songwriter group—that Wu Mu likes playing games, always clutching a game console without letting go.
Could this be another theme tailored for Wu Mu? Director Lin is really playing favorites.
Wang Xiaotian and the others muttered in their hearts.
Sure enough, as they suspected, Lin Qingyue was somewhat partial to Wu Mu—within the limits of ensuring the show’s watchability, she chose a theme more compatible with Wu Mu.
After all, it’s because Wu Mu delivered good results.
Just last episode, their show’s average viewership rating reached a record high of 0.45%, with more than 0.5% during the segments where Wu Mu completed tasks and sang.
Though this result was still quite short of the top variety shows’ average of 0.55% by some distance,
compared to their usual 0.41, 0.42 results, it was already a significant improvement.
With such great effects, she certainly wanted to continue leveraging it.
This episode’s commission didn’t require actively finding a client anymore.
After Lin Qingyue finished introducing the commission task, a slightly nervous man, dressed in a checkered shirt and wearing glasses, probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, stood up.
“Hello, everyone, I’m Wei Chen, the project director at Mingyu Game Company.”
Wang Xiaotian dashed over, grabbing Wei Chen’s hands and shaking enthusiastically, “Hello, Director! I’m the star clerk Wang Xiaotian of our show!”
Wei Chen was flattered, nodded repeatedly, “Hello, Mr. Xiaotian, I’m a long-time viewer of the show, and I especially like your performance.”
Not to be outdone, Lu Yao also came running over, pushing Wang Xiaotian aside, “He’s not the star clerk. I am! Give all the tasks to me!”
The smile on Wei Chen’s face was unstoppable, “Hello, Lu Yao, I’m a loyal fan of yours.”
Wu Mu also went to greet him, “What’s the name of the game you made? Is it launched?”
Wei Chen’s smiling face suddenly sagged slightly, politely responding, “The game is called ‘All Living Beings,’ and it has been launched on the Steam Platform’s EA version.”
Tsk.
Wu Mu clicked his tongue, his little hater radar went off again.
Judging from Wei Chen’s attitude, this was undoubtedly another one of his haters.
*Why did he have so many haters!*
*Just appearing on a couple of episodes, and they’re everywhere.*
Zhang Haoran and Zhang Lifeng also went up to greet him.
After getting to know each other, Wei Chen began to introduce their company’s new game.
