Chapter 76 -76: New Episode of Star Agency Aired
After drawing the lottery and spending another night in Shen City, Wu Mu flew back to his little nest the next day and started a laid-back life of lounging around.
However, his relaxation didn’t last long, as in the afternoon, Duan Ming came over with the people from Sha City TV Station to sign the contract.
According to the price he later quoted, it would be 2.2 million per episode, with recording starting next Monday.
Besides signing the contract, Duan Ming brought him some extra good news.
“Some brands that wanted you to return the endorsement fees and pay compensation have contacted us to withdraw their demands. Though they haven’t decided whether they want to continue the partnership, and are still observing, if your momentum doesn’t drop, they will definitely come knocking for a renewal.”
That was to be expected.
When Wu Mu’s house collapsed, his female fans were boycotting and reporting so ferociously that no one dared to continue working with Wu Mu. Any delay in making a statement would have easily resulted in a blast of public outcry.
But now that the worst had passed, not only were there no fans targeting him anymore, but Wu Mu was also busy selling merchandise and albums, seemingly with a fair amount of support.
Naturally, this made some people envious. They didn’t dare decide immediately to continue the partnership, but putting a stop to their claims for compensation and waiting to watch was necessary.
This was undoubtedly good news; at least it meant less money to compensate.
Wu Mu did some calculations. Excluding these two brands, he could save almost twenty million.
Moreover, adding the money he earned from selling merchandise and the album proceeds, minus the funds from Star Electronics, he was almost without any financial shortfall!
“It’s still thanks to the system.”
Wu Mu sighed to himself. With such a huge debt, relying on his typical game scripts would take an eternity, but with the system, he had earned it in less than two months.
Well, now that he had enough money, he wasn’t in a hurry to pay off the debts immediately. He decided to wait and see if other brands would also withdraw their claims.

After signing the contract for the new show, Wu Mu continued to lounge around, and before he knew it, August 2nd came, the day the new episode of Star Agency was broadcast.
…
In Beijing, within a luxurious villa.
Liu Lan, the culprit behind Wu Mu’s house collapse and his former sponsor, lay indifferently on the sofa, her attention half on the pre-show advertisements playing on the television.
She took out her phone and aimlessly clicked through various apps, trying to pass time and dispel the boredom within.
But no matter what she opened, there always seemed to be an elusive shadow flickering there.
On Weibo, Wu Mu’s Evolved account hadn’t posted a new update for several days.
But…
Mo Mo: “Tonight at seven, Teacher Wu Mu’s new show is airing, and it’s going to be amazing. Don’t miss it!”
Wu Mu Evolved: “Haha, you haven’t even watched it and you say it’s so amazing?”
Mo Mo: “Just the part where Teacher Wu Mu came to sing at our place is worth watching!”
Wu Mu Evolved: “It was just okay, not as good as Mo Mo’s new song that day. After all, it’s a difference of over two hundred points.”
Mo Mo: “Those low scores weren’t given by me!”
Wu Mu Evolved: “Fans’ actions reflect on their idols. Do you have confidence for the final round tomorrow, Teacher Mo Mo?”
Liu Lan watched the interaction on Weibo without any expression.
Their relationship sure seemed good. It looked like he had completely moved on.
Jealous? It didn’t seem so, it was more an irritation of feeling something of hers was taken away.
Opening WeChat, at the top was a message with a red exclamation point.
Liu Lan: “Baby, I’ve divorced. Can we meet?”
She had sent it in the morning, not expecting to get a prompt asking to add him as a friend in return.
That stung. It felt like finally lowering her head, only to realize that no one cared, a sense of anger and frustration.
…
Meanwhile, in Jiangning.
In the girls’ dormitory of Jiangning University.
Three girls had also gathered punctually in front of the computer screen.
Xu Tingting, while looking at the ongoing advertisements on the screen, chatted with her roommates, “I heard Wu Mu is going to sing at the singer-songwriter combo in this episode?”
His former non-celebrity girlfriend Jiang Qian nodded, “Should be. I saw it on Weibo. Even though Director Lin hasn’t released that information, according to the timeline everyone dug up, he was recording for Star Agency on that day.”
Liang Fang laughed heartily, “He really went to the singer-songwriter combo to be a security guard, huh? That’s bold.”
“It does fit his character. He was like that in our episode, just doing things on a whim,” reminisced Jiang Qian, who couldn’t help but feel the urge to cover her face when recalling the last episode they recorded together.
At the time of the recording, she had anticipated her own scenes would be disastrous.
And after it aired… it was even worse than she had imagined.
Now, students around the campus would ask her how to play the Meng Yue game at every opportunity, which was clearly a tease about her moment of being dominated by Wu Mu.
Liang Fang kept nodding, “Right, right, he’s so spontaneous. Yesterday I sent him a photo of the robot model our club made, and he actually said the design wasn’t good and wanted to redraw a new sketch for us.”
Hmm?
Jiang Qian and Xu Tingting gave Liang Fang a strange look, “You’re still chatting with him on WeChat?”
Liang Fang, slightly confused, looked back at them, “Yeah, don’t you guys have him as a friend too?”
Who’s like you, without any inhibitions, chatting up someone just because they’re a friend!
He’s a big star, for goodness sake!
The longer it’s been since we’ve seen each other, the more it feels like we’re not even in the same world. We don’t dare to approach him for a chat!
What if someone misunderstands that we have some design on him or that we’re trying to suck up? That would be so awkward!
Xu Tingting and Jiang Qian quickly pressured Liang Fang to show them her phone to see what she usually chatted about with Wu Mu.
After checking, they found they talked about everything. Besides the robot they had agreed on, Liang Fang occasionally sent Wu Mu fun things she encountered.
And Wu Mu actually replied, just like normal friends would.
Xu Tingting exclaimed, “He’s really that easygoing? I thought it was just for show.”
For a celebrity idol, that’s almost too good to be true!
Even Xu Tingting, who never chased stars, felt she might not resist becoming a fan!
As time crept closer to seven.
“Hey, the show is about to start.”
Seeing that the program began airing previews on the computer screen, Xu Tingting stood up.
“I’ll go call Mengmeng.”
Their remaining roommate, who had been studying in the library, clearly wasn’t interested in Wu Mu’s new show.
But in the end, she was still dragged back to the dorm by Xu Tingting.
At seven in the evening, the program aired on schedule.
It started with the production crew going to wake up the show’s guest.
But obviously, Zhang Haoran and the others, aware of the recording task for the day, had gotten up early. Who would actually appear on the show completely without make-up? They would at least get up a bit earlier to get ready.
Only one person was the exception…
Lin Qingyue had been knocking for a while, but there wasn’t the slightest stir within.
She turned around somewhat puzzled, asking the others, “Did Teacher Wu Mu go out this morning?”

PS: Just to clarify, Liu Lan is not the female lead, and she won’t be redeemed, but I need her to advance the plot.
