Chapter 554: Chapter 388_2

Things are quite heated, but there’s still a spark missing; everyone is waiting for the follow-up behind-the-scenes video.

Unexpectedly, the follow-up video hasn’t arrived yet, but the spark has already been filled.

As it got closer to noon, Wu Mu was wondering where to have lunch when Mo Mo called him.

Her voice sounded a bit anxious in the call, "Teacher Wu Mu, quickly check Weibo; I just saw Academician Li commenting on you!"

Huh?

"Academician Li?" Wu Mu asked puzzled.

"It’s Academician Li Qidong!"

Wu Mu recalled and remembered that he’s a renowned and respected scholar from Blue Star Hua Country.

But he knew this Academician Li was upright and serious, a real national scholar type; why would he care about a celebrity’s affairs and even comment on it?

With confusion in his heart, he searched the keywords Mo Mo provided.

Then he quickly found the content.

It was a video with few views, but the comments had already reached hundreds.

The environment in the video should be in a university classroom, where Academician Li was giving a lecture.

After finishing a segment, Academician Li allowed the students below to freely ask questions.

The questions were initially serious ones, directed at the lecture just given.

Until the video shooter stood up, "Teacher Li, I heard you were still a linguist when you were young, knowing more than ten languages. What is your opinion on the recent domestic celebrity Wu Mu saying he can learn four languages in two months?"

As soon as this question was asked, there was an uproar in the classroom, and all the classmates turned to look at the questioner.

Academician Li on stage was also slightly surprised as he looked over, then frowned tightly and said displeased, "The classroom is a place for you to learn, not a place to care about celebrities. If this question comes up again, get out!"

The university classroom is arguably the place where ordinary people most easily come into contact with these scholars.

Scholars come to teach you, is it just to let you ask this type of question?

Well, there’s nothing special here, just a video of a student with a bad mindset being reprimanded.

However, language is indeed one of Academician Li’s specialties, so after scolding the student, he sternly said, "Language carries a country, a nation’s culture and thoughts; it’s the first window to understand other countries and nations. Learning a language is a very serious and precious matter, not something to joke around with, nor is it to boast about how many languages you know!"

Actually, he didn’t explicitly name Wu Mu, and the content should have leaned more towards advising the students.

But...

Wu Mu shook his head, understanding why Mo Mo was so anxious.

The online trend never really cares about the truth.

He already had many haters, who are now deliberately defaming and stirring things up.

Now gaining a powerful and overwhelmingly famous weapon like Academician Li’s comment, they would definitely go all out.

However, before reaching the hotel, he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance on the roadside.

Huh, why is she here?

Wu Mu was quite curious, looking at the 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 upset, talking with someone in the car.

Wu Mu couldn’t see who was in the Ferrari from his side, but the person seemed to have quite a temper because right after a few words, they stepped on the accelerator and drove off leaving Su Meng behind.

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

Wu Mu smiled slightly, drove over, rolled down his window, and said humorously, "Little Su, long time no see."

Su Meng turned her head towards him, seeming a bit stunned.

This was their second meeting in real life.

Although Su Meng should be quite interested in his situation, Wu Mu often received feedback from Su Meng about his new songs on WeChat.

They didn’t chat much, simply commented that the song was very nice.

Well, whether it’s haters or fans, at least they contributed to his viewership.

Wu Mu smiled and said, "Your driver left? Want me to give you a ride?"

Su Meng hesitated a little, "I’ll inform my family."

"Aunt Qing, you don’t have to come over; I’ll go back with a friend. Okay, I know."

After finishing the call, Su Meng opened Wu Mu’s passenger side door and got in.

After confirming the address where she wanted to go, Wu Mu was quite curious, "Aren’t you a Shen City person? Why are you here?"

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

She paused, with a rare smile on her face, "Just now we were at the venue, my friends wanted to cover their ears during your first song."

Wu Mu laughed, "That’s not my fault; there was nothing wrong with my singing."

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

Well, confirmed, yet another Heavenly Dragon People.

Wu Mu was quite surprised; although from daily actions and behaviors, it was obvious Su Meng’s family should be quite wealthy.

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

This courtyard alone must be at least...

The host is currently unavailable, Yang Rongfa asked, "Many directors and company bosses from the industry have come today. Would you like me to introduce you to some?"

This is an opportunity for normal insiders.

Knowing more people is always beneficial.

But... remembering the experience at the previous banquet, Yang Rongfa wisely chose to ask first.

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

But halfway through shaking his head, his gaze swept over a partially obscured small lounge next to the main living room, slightly pausing on a figure inside.

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

The Lin Director he mentioned was naturally not Lin Qingyue but Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.

Lin Qingyue could return tonight, but she needed to deal with matters of the crew and wouldn’t appear here.

Moreover, he had mentioned to Lin Qingyue this morning during their conversation that he would attend this banquet; if Lin Qingyue were coming, she would’ve informed him.

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

Wu Mu pondered for a moment; these two are also top-tier directors in the industry, belonging to the top of the circle.

However, he’s not expecting to curry favor with these directors for resources, so he doesn’t care much about them.

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

"I’ll go greet Director Lin." He walked directly towards the small lounge.

"Director Lin and the others are here too; want to go say hi?" Yang Rongfa leaned over, whispering.

As he spoke, he pointed with his fingers at the small lounge next to the main living room.

The small lounge seemed to be a place for everyday private meetings, partitioned in the middle by decorations, and its full view was not visible, only appearing smaller than the main place.

Then it featured some closer sofas, with many people sitting and chatting there.

Director Lin?

Wu Mu contemplated for a moment and immediately knew it was Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.

Although Lin Qingyue could return tonight, she still needs to handle the crew’s matters and won’t be here.

Additionally, he mentioned to Lin Qingyue this morning during their chat that he’s attending this banquet; if Lin Qingyue were coming, she wouldn’t have failed to tell him.

"I’ll go greet him." He nodded affirmatively.

With Lin Xueming here, he certainly needs to go say hello.

"Light Shadow Media and Yahua Film and Television bosses, along with Director Tang and Director Xie, are here too." Yang Rongfa whispered again.

Light Shadow Media, Yahua Film and Television?

Even without being deeply involved in the circle, Wu Mu knows these two companies; if Yang Rongfa’s company is mid-tier in the industry, then these two are truly upper tier.

Not only listed companies, but they also consistently produce large-scale films annually, and have artist management businesses, boasting many big-name celebrities.

These two need no further introduction.

As for Director Tang and Director Xie?

If they’re worth Yang Rongfa mentioning, they must not be ordinary figures.
