This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 555 - 389: This is not defamation, it’s complete promotion!

Chapter 555: Chapter 389: This is not defamation, it’s complete promotion!

(The previous Chapter has been modified, with the plot of Professor Li Qidong deleted and skipped simply, moving directly to the online follow-up.)

Yangcheng, Sun Yat-sen University student dormitory.

Sophomore student Li Feifei opened her sleepy eyes.

Every winter, getting up in the morning is a torment. On days with classes, she can barely struggle to get up, but on days like this without classes, she simply can’t get up at all.

It’s already past ten in the morning now, and her stomach is grumbling a bit from hunger. But she just doesn’t want to get up to eat, doesn’t even want to order takeaway, because she’d have to get up to take it.

"I’ll just count it as losing weight; I’ve just started to gain a little." After finding an excuse for herself in her mind, she contentedly lay back down.

Taking out her phone, she planned to scroll through the Zhihu novel she hadn’t finished yesterday.

As she opened her phone, before clicking into Zhihu, she noticed several new notifications in the notification bar.

Weibo: [Wu Mu’s new movie behind-the-scenes exposed, he claimed to have learned Korean, Japanese, French, and German languages within two months after dropping out of middle school.]

Wu Mu?

Li Feifei had some impression, seems like a celebrity in China, often seen on the hot list while she’s reading novels or answering questions on Zhihu.

But she’s not very interested.

There are always people in the world who don’t pay attention to celebrity entertainment, and only know some they saw in childhood DVDs; they can’t name a few of the new generation.

She’s one of them.

"Besides, this content is really ridiculous, learning Korean, Japanese, French, and German in two months... The capital thinks we’re all fools." Li Feifei shook her head speechlessly. Clearly, this is clickbait, and clicking into it will reveal some kind of joke show. There’s a lot of this kind of trick online.

She casually swiped it away.

But unexpectedly, the next one was the same.

Douyin: [Number six on the current social hot list: Professor Li Qidong criticizes celebrity Wu Mu, saying language learning is not a tool for some people’s amusement.]

Hmm?

Li Feifei’s finger, about to swipe away, paused.

She wasn’t concerned about the situation of that Wu Mu, but she’s pretty concerned about Professor Li.

This is a professor from her school!

She was intriguingly drawn to click in.

Online, there were many like her, drawn in by the name Li Qidong.

They weren’t interested in celebrity news but were very interested in renowned scholars criticizing celebrities!

And once clicked in, the first impression would be swayed by the video content and comments section.

Especially the comments section.

"The domestic entertainment circle turned into this chaotic mess because there are too many celebrities with moral failures. Listing various moral failures of this so-called top celebrity Wu Mu: one, debuted by being a mistress to sponsors..."

Li Feifei was shocked.

She had never paid attention to this celebrity before, didn’t know that this celebrity was originally such a morally bankrupt person?

"How come no one manages these celebrities? With morals so low yet so popular!" For the first time, Li Feifei, who learned about these, was somewhat indignant. Is the domestic entertainment industry really so dark? Such a celebrity, despite doing many bad things, is still thriving?

She couldn’t help but exit to search for any follow-ups; with such a big scandal for this celebrity, did official or media outlets criticize or ban?

But to her disappointment, no official media came forward to speak, not to mention criticism; even no official media reposted related videos, which was contrary to usual styles of local media randomly reposting anything.

Not only did official media not weigh in, but she also found some other negative videos about Wu Mu. Hmm, seems like negative videos.

"Big drama happened, Wu Mu’s image collapsed! Always known for authenticity and no persona, Wu Mu stupidly started creating a genius persona, boasting he learned Korean, Japanese, French, and German in two months. Clearly an indisputable marketing tactic; we all know he speaks Korean, and had previously interacted effortlessly in South Korean variety shows, but that wasn’t..."

Hmm?

Li Feifei froze; this person speaks Korean?

Then... not entirely the kind of school dropout who had to pretend to be great and an illiterate top celebrity.

Her impression improved slightly; everyone has learned foreign languages, having learned English from childhood, so the average person understands the difficulty of learning foreign languages. If someone speaks a foreign language, it at least proves they’re not entirely ignorant, they’ve invested effort in learning and self-improvement.

But just a slight improvement; as the bloggers said, just because he speaks Korean, now he wants to market himself as a genius with a script; that’s a bad intention!

She continued scrolling.

"I’m Xiao Li; everyone should have seen the recent big news in the entertainment circle, the top celebrity Wu Mu... As everyone knows, Wu Mu does speak English and Korean..."

...English too?

Li Feifei’s finger paused, her face surprised.

Well, well, there seems to be some substance?

She curiously continued to scroll down.

"Top celebrity Wu Mu’s image collapsed, marketing himself as a genius backfired massively! We all know Wu Mu speaks English, Russian, Korean, and Cantonese; also, according to foreign media, he seems to speak Japanese, but..." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

No, I didn’t know!!

Wait, isn’t this odd!?

Li Feifei, bewildered, rewound the video to listen again.

Wasn’t everyone saying this celebrity is ignorant!?

Yet this person speaks English, Russian, Korean, Cantonese, Japanese, plus his native language, making six languages?

Wait, is this ignorance!?

Have we misunderstood the definition of ignorance somehow?

Li Feifei was left dazed, feeling somewhat duped.

From the first video, her mind held the public’s impression of Wu Mu as the kind exclaiming "Tai Ku La," smoking e-cigarettes, and responding with "Mom saves," a traffic celebrity impression.

Yet after watching this series of videos...

Why does she feel this celebrity seems rather high-quality?

Li Feifei had a baffled look.

A celebrity who speaks six languages... seems, probably, perhaps without marketing is also a genius?

There was also another aspect.

"He’s a middle school dropout celebrity? With such strong learning Talent, why didn’t he even finish middle school?"

Li Feifei felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

Originally what proved ignorance, now compared with this person’s overly powerful learning ability, it immediately reveals there’s certainly an issue.

To know five foreign languages plus Cantonese, no one in their right mind would doubt this person’s learning ability. Yet someone with such a remarkable ability didn’t even finish middle school...

This clearly indicates there’s a story behind it, right?

Li Feifei’s mind instinctively visualized a scenario of family difficulties, or a sick family member preventing continued education, but inherently loves learning, not relaxing despite being a celebrity.

If it were truly like this, it might even be less satisfying than these contents learned within months... At least it would mean he didn’t experience a painful past.

Li Feifei began to truly want to understand what exactly is the situation with this celebrity.

She simply exited Douyin and switched to Zhihu, planning to search for this person’s details on the Zhihu she’s used to.

But she didn’t even need to search.

Opening Zhihu, the top trending topic was a question about him.

"How to view the incident of celebrity Wu Mu claiming to learn four languages in two months and Professor Li Qidong’s criticism?"

This kind of topic involving celebrities, in usual times Li Feifei definitely wouldn’t click in.

But now, having just scrolled through Wu Mu’s news, she immediately clicked into the question.

And the responses below the question further shocked her.

Top liked response:

The Traveler: "First folding an armor piece, I am a cyber student of Professor Li Qidong, who used to fantasize about being Professor Li’s student while preparing for the doctoral entrance exam, so I’ve always respected Professor Li greatly."

"But, Professor Li might have slipped this time... The recent various online remarks and uproar have hit everyone, I feel like everyone seems swayed by common sense and black fans, and have not considered Wu Mu’s character and style."
