Chapter 548: Chapter 385_2

Then among the other contestants, there were also two who were tracked down and eliminated by the West Mouth Group and the Fukuda Group.

Now there are only 15 contestants left on the field.

But while Wu Mu continued to search for people, a video was going viral online.

It’s the video from the morning where Wu Mu and the others took Cha Sujeong away from Asahi TV Station.

Since this video hasn’t been verified, it can’t be directly broadcast on their channel, but the host uploaded it directly to Twitter.

Asahi TV Station Kitayama Norika: "A suspected member of the violent West Mouth Group intimidating and threatening with a young girl on video at the entrance of Asahi TV Station!"

A violent gang member threatening and coercing a girl?

And in broad daylight at the entrance of Asahi TV Station?

This headline quickly drew a lot of attention.

Although Cha Sujeong seemed to know Jin Huiyan and Wu Mu who appeared later, her initial attempt to run away was very real.

Her extremely resistant and unwilling expression when she was taken away was vividly shown.

When netizens compared the online footage to various exposed photos of the West Mouth Group found online, they really identified the people from the morning!

This caused quite an uproar among netizens.

Before he reached the hotel, he unexpectedly spotted a familiar face on the roadside.

Huh, what’s she doing here?

Wu Mu curiously looked at a figure standing at the entrance of a restaurant ahead.

It was Su Meng, whom he met a long time ago during the first episode of Star Agency.

At this moment, she was standing next to a red Ferrari, looking angry and saying something to the person in the Ferrari.

Wu Mu could not see the person inside the Ferrari, but it seemed that person was also temperamental, as they suddenly stepped on the gas, leaving Su Meng at the spot, driving away alone.

Su Meng was left standing there, frowning as she looked in that direction.

Wu Mu chuckled as he drove over, rolled down his window, and said amusingly, "Hey Little Su, long time no see."

Su Meng turned to look at him, seemingly taken aback.

This was only their second meeting in reality.

However, Su Meng seemed to follow his circumstances closely, as Wu Mu often received feedback from Su Meng on his new songs via WeChat.

They didn’t chat much, just commented that the songs were nice to listen to.

Hmm, whether it’s haters or fans, at least they’ve contributed to the viewership.

Wu Mu smiled and said, "Your driver ran off? Need me to give you a lift?"

Su Meng hesitated slightly, "I’ll let my family know."

"Aunt Qing, you don’t need to come over. Yep, a friend is giving me a ride home. Got it."

After finishing the call, Su Meng opened Wu Mu’s passenger door and sat inside.

After getting her address, Wu Mu asked curiously, "You’re from Shen City, why are you here?"

Su Meng shook her head, "I am from Shen City, but my family also has a house here in Beijing."

She paused, and for once, had a bit of a smile on her face, "We were just at the venue, and my friends wanted to cover their ears during your first song."

Wu Mu laughed heartily, "That has nothing to do with me; there was nothing wrong with my singing."

Wu Mu chatted casually with Su Meng and soon dropped her off at her home, a large courtyard in the Upper City District, not far from the Forbidden City.

Hmm, confirmed, another member of the Heavenly Dragon People.

Wu Mu was rather surprised. Although from her daily behavior and manners, one could tell her family must be quite wealthy.

But he didn’t expect them to be this wealthy.

Just this courtyard alone would likely cost at least

The host couldn’t be seen for the moment, so Yang Rongfa asked, "Quite a few top directors and company bosses from the circle have come today. Do you want me to introduce you?"

This is an opportunity for anyone in the industry.

Getting to know more people is always good.

But... recalling the experience from the previous reception, Yang Rongfa wisely chose to ask first.

Wu Mu shook his head, "No..."

Though in the midst of shaking his head, his gaze swept across a figure in a small parlor partitioned off from the main living room, and he paused slightly.

"Director Lin is here too?" Wu Mu asked Yang Rongfa.

The "Director Lin" he referred to was naturally not Lin Qingyue, but Lin Qingyue’s father Lin Xueming.

Although Lin Qingyue was coming back tonight, she’d need to handle some crew matters and wouldn’t show up here.

Besides, when he was chatting with Lin Qingyue in the morning, he’d mentioned attending the reception. If Lin Qingyue were coming, she would have definitely told him.

"Yes, Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang are also here." Yang Rongfa nodded.

Wu Mu pondered briefly, and these two were also top directors in the circle, on par with Lin Xueming, and among the most influential figures.

However, he wasn’t hoping to curry favor with these individuals to seek resources, so they didn’t really matter to him.

But with Lin Xueming here, it wouldn’t be appropriate not to greet him.

"I’ll go say hello to Director Lin." He stepped directly toward the small parlor.

"Director Lin and the others are here too. Want to go and say hi?" Yang Rongfa whispered close.

As he spoke, he gestured toward the small parlor beside the main living room.

The small parlor seemingly served as a place for informal private gatherings and was partitioned in the middle for decoration, so the full view wasn’t clear; it appeared smaller than this side.

Couches were placed closer together there, with quite a few people sitting around chatting.

Director Lin?

Wu Mu quickly realized it was Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.

Although Lin Qingyue was returning tonight, she’d need to handle crew-related matters and wouldn’t appear here.

Besides, when he was chatting with Lin Qingyue in the morning, he’d mentioned he was attending this reception. If Lin Qingyue were coming, she would have definitely told him.

"I’ll go say hello." He nodded.

With Lin Xueming here, he definitely needed to greet him.

"The bosses of Light Shadow Media and Yahua Film and Television, and Director Tang and Director Xie are also here," Yang Rongfa whispered again.

Light Shadow Media, Yahua Film and Television?

Even Wu Mu, who didn’t usually engage with the circle, knew these two companies. If Yang Rongfa’s company was considered mid-tier in the industry, these two were undoubtedly top-tier.

Not only publicly listed companies, but they also consistently produced major films annually, and handled artist agency businesses, with numerous big-name celebrities under them.

There’s no need to explain about these two.

As for Director Tang and Director Xie?

An explicit mention by Yang Rongfa meant they weren’t ordinary figures.

Wu Mu quickly realized who they were.

They were Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang.

Directors on par with Lin Xueming.

Figures already established in the industry, possessing both status and reputation.

All the bigwigs are over there, huh.

He and Yang Rongfa walked toward the small parlor.

As they got closer, they could discern the situation over there.

Indeed, Lin Xueming was present, seated centrally on a couch, holding a wine glass and chatting.

Around him were several people, two clearly possessing a CEO demeanor, alongside a few middle-aged men standing by, who seemed to be handlers for various artists.

Director Tang Wei, clearly trying to cover something with a cotton beret, yet unable to hide his baldness. Director Xie Chunfang, who despite his name featuring the word ’Fang’ is tall and robust, towering above everyone else.

And...

Wu Mu paused.

A woman, probably in her forties, draped in a fitted black suit and adorned with a pearl necklace, was engaging in low conversation and laughter, appearing elegant and dignified.

Lin Qingyue’s mother also came?

This was his first time encountering Lin Qingyue’s mother in reality. Previously, when visiting Lin Qingyue’s house, he coincidentally missed meeting her.

But Lin Qingyue’s mother, Du Lan, was a previous-generation award-winning actress, so he recognized her from photos.

After pausing briefly, Wu Mu continued walking forward.

Just after a couple of steps, he encountered another familiar face.

At the edge of the small parlor, a man around thirty was holding a dish and listening attentively to Lin Xueming.

It was Geng Wei.

The initial owner of Xiao Yi Company, who tried to sign him and, after Wu Mu’s rejection, became enraged and attempted to blacklist him.

However, Wu Mu wasn’t particularly concerned about this person, and continued moving straight ahead.
