This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 550 - 386_2

The assistant also tactfully said, "I’ll take the subway back to the company dorm with Brother Wang."

"Okay, you should head back and rest early too."

Wu Mu nodded, driving his little A8 home alone.

By the time he reached home, it was already past ten in the evening.

Apart from the scattered lights from other residents in the distance and the street lights, the area was tranquil.

However, just as Wu Mu got out of the car and walked to his front door, hands emerged from the darkness to cover his eyes from behind, and a voice said, "Guess who I am."

Wu Mu’s mouth curved into a smile, "Zhou Min?"

The voice behind him also carried an unstoppable smile, "Wrong."

"Lu Yao?"

"Nope."

"Sister Yan?"

The person behind him couldn’t help but laugh, "My voice is so different from Sister Yan’s, how could you mistake me for her?"

The person behind him then tightly hugged him, burying their face in his back, silently savoring his presence.

Wu Mu turned around the person hugging him from behind, and then looked at the beautiful Lin Qingyue in front of him, hugged her face-to-face, and smiled, "Did you miss me?"

However, 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 the figure standing at the entrance of a restaurant ahead.

It was Su Meng, who he had met a long time ago during the first episode at Star Agency.

At that moment, she was standing next to a red Ferrari, looking angry, talking to someone inside the Ferrari.

Wu Mu couldn’t see who was inside the Ferrari from his side, but that person evidently had quite a temper as well, because after a brief conversation, the person suddenly revved the engine and drove off, leaving Su Meng standing there.

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

Wu Mu smiled slightly as he drove over, rolled down the window, and jokingly said, "Little Su, long time no see."

Su Meng turned her head towards him, seeming somewhat surprised.

This was only the second time they met in real life.

However, Su Meng seemed quite aware of his situation, as Wu Mu often received feedback from her on his new songs through WeChat.

They didn’t chat much, just simple comments like how good the songs sounded.

Well, whether they’re haters or fans, at least they contribute to my viewership.

Wu Mu smiled and said, "Your driver ran away? Do you need a ride?"

Su Meng hesitated slightly, "Let me let my family know."

"Aunt Qing, you don’t need to come over, a friend will give me a ride back, alright, I understand."

After the phone call, Su Meng opened the co-driver’s seat and got in.

After finding out the address she needed to go to, Wu Mu asked curiously, "Aren’t you from Shen City? Why did you come here?"

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

She paused, rare to see a bit of a smile on her face, "We were just at the venue earlier, my friend wanted to cover their ears during your first song."

Wu Mu laughed, "That’s not on me, my singing was fine."

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

Well, confirmed, another Heavenly Dragon person.

Wu Mu was quite surprised, though he could tell from her usual demeanor that Su Meng’s family should be quite wealthy.

But he hadn’t expected them to be this wealthy.

Such a courtyard house would probably cost at least...

The host could not be seen for the moment, Yang Rongfa asked, "Many industry directors and business owners came today, shall I introduce you to them?"

It’s an opportunity for someone in the industry.

Getting to know more people is always good.

But... Thinking about the previous banquet, Yang Rongfa wisely decided to ask first.

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

But halfway through shaking his head, his gaze swept past a figure in a small lounge adjoining the main reception room, he paused slightly.

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

He was referring to Director Lin naturally not being Lin Qingyue, but Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.

Although Lin Qingyue could come back tonight, she needed to handle the crew’s matters and wouldn’t appear here.

Moreover, he had talked with Lin Qingyue in the morning about attending this banquet, if Lin Qingyue was coming too, she would have surely mentioned it.

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

Wu Mu thought for a moment, these two were also top directors in the industry like Lin Xueming, belonging to the elite circle.

However, he did not expect to ingratiate himself with these directors for resources, hence it didn’t matter.

But with Lin Xueming here, it would be inappropriate not to greet him.

"I’ll go say hi to Director Lin." He directly walked toward the small lounge.

"Director Lin and others are there; do you want to go greet them?" Yang Rongfa whispered.

As he spoke, he pointed to the small lounge adjoining the main reception room.

The small lounge seemed to be a place for private casual meetings, its entire space blocked by decorations, so its full view was unclear, just revealing it was smaller than here.

Some sofas were arranged closer to the center, with quite a few people sitting there chatting.

Director Lin?

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

Although Lin Qingyue could come back tonight, she had to handle other matters around the film crew, so she wouldn’t be here.

Also, he had mentioned to Lin Qingyue that he planned to attend the banquet this morning; if Lin Qingyue were coming too, she would have surely said so.

"I’ll go greet him." He nodded.

Since Lin Xueming was here, it was necessary to say hello.

"The bosses from Light Shadow Media and Yahua Film and Television, along with Directors Tang and Xie, are around too." Yang Rongfa whispered again.

Light Shadow Media and Yahua Film and Television?

Even he, not involved deeply in the circle, knew about these two companies. If Yang Rongfa’s company were considered mid-tier, these two were definitely top-tier.

Not only were they publicly traded, but they also consistently produced major films annually, and had artist management business with many prominent stars.

No need for explanations for these two.

As for Director Tang and Director Xie?

Definitely not simple figures if Yang Rongfa especially mentioned them.

Wu Mu thought again, quickly knew who it was.

It was Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang.

Same level as Lin Xueming.

Well-established veterans with status and fame in the industry.

All the big names are there.

He and Yang Rongfa headed toward the small lounge.

As they got closer, they could see the situation in the lounge more clearly.

Lin Xueming was indeed there, sitting centrally on a sofa, holding a wine glass, seemingly talking about something.

Many were seated around him, including two men who appeared very boss-like, and several men standing on the side, middle-aged, apparently managing artists.

Director Tang Wei, wearing a cotton cap, seemingly trying to cover something, but couldn’t conceal his baldness. Director Xie Chunfang, with a name including "Fang," turned out tall and robust, taller than anyone present.

And also...

Wu Mu suddenly paused his steps.

A woman, approximately forty-something, dressed in a fitted black suit, adorned with a pearl necklace, elegantly and dignifiedly conversing softly with people beside her.

Lin Qingyue’s mother is here too?

It was Wu Mu’s first time seeing Lin Qingyue’s mother in real life, having missed her previously during visits to Lin Qingyue’s house.

However, Lin Qingyue’s mother, Du Lan, was a past-generation iconic actress; he recognized her from photos.

Wu Mu paused slightly before continuing forward.

Just a few steps ahead, another familiar face appeared.

On the fringe of the small lounge, stood a man in his thirties, holding a plate, listening earnestly to Lin Xueming.

It was Geng Wei.

The initial boss from Xiao Yi Company who wanted to sign him, but upon refusals, aimed to blacklist him out of spite.

But regarding this person, Wu Mu didn’t care much, continuing to walk forward without stopping.
