An hour later, Mu Wan arrived at the airport, and the driver helped her place her luggage on the airport transport vehicle. Because the cameras were following her, the airport staff kept glancing at Mu Wan, guessing which celebrity she might be. Soon, Mu Wan joined the other guests.
Li Shuqin, dressed in a white dress with a beige knit cardigan, had a beautiful face and graceful temperament. When she saw Mu Wan, her eyes flashed with surprise.
“Hello, I’m Li Shuqin, an actress.”
Mu Wan shook hands with her.
“Hello, I’m Mu Wan, a violinist, and I currently run a classical music agency called Jian Jia.”
“A violinist? That sounds impressive. You don’t look very old. Did you just graduate?”
Mu Wan saw the smile at the corner of her mouth and the unfamiliarity in her eyes, and immediately understood that Li Shuqin didn’t recognize her. That was for the best; she didn’t want to cause any awkwardness between her and Li Shuqin because of Kuang Shuyu.
“Yes, I graduated last year.”
Afterward, Mu Wan greeted the other two guests. Fang Li, a new idol at 21, and Zhong Yi, a mature actor with great acting skills, 36 years old.
After greeting the two, Mu Wan had a bad premonition. Why were they all either actors or idols?
Finally, the last guest arrived, and Mu Wan’s heart, which had been hanging in suspense, sank. It was a rock singer carrying a guitar case, dressed in punk style, with sapphire earrings on his earlobes. He was very popular, and Mu Wan had seen him on Weibo.
“Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Yang, a rock singer.”
【Ahhh, Yang Bao, so handsome, so handsome! And he brought a guitar. Will he sing on the show?】
【The production team really spent big this time, with top stars like Li Shuqin and the popular singer Zhou Yang. They must have paid a lot for their fees.】
Mu Wan: “…”
All. Celebrities.
【Mu Wan is about to break down.】
【Where are the people from all walks of life?】
【Someone suggests downloading a scam app.】
Once everyone had gathered, the production team cut off the solo live stream and switched to the main live broadcast, where all the viewers joined in.
“What scam?”
Someone shared how Mu Wan had been tricked by the production team, and everyone burst into laughter, though there were also some who nitpicked.
“Seriously? Do you really believe that? Li Shuqin and Zhou Yang are both incredibly popular stars. There’s no way an ordinary person would make it on the show. They’re definitely new signees from an entertainment company.”
“Yeah, I don’t buy the claim that the other guests aren’t celebrities.”
“Starting the show by lying to show how ‘different’ they are… that’s a bit of a green tea move.”
With some time left before boarding, everyone was waiting in the lounge when Zhou Yang suddenly noticed the platinum ring on Mu Wan’s finger.
“Wow, is that ring from HW’s merchandise? It’s really nice, do you have the link? I also play HW.”
Mu Wan shook her head. “No, I bought it at a mall counter.” She paused and added, “It’s a couple’s ring.”
Zhou Yang’s eyes flashed with surprise, and Li Shuqin and Zhong Yi also looked up in surprise.
【What?】
【Did she just announce her relationship before debuting?】
【Explosive!】
Zhou Yang glanced toward the live stream direction. “Does your company allow you to date? You’re not just making up a story because you don’t want to give me the link, right?” He was trying to remind Mu Wan that they were live.
Mu Wan realized that he misunderstood her as a celebrity. She quickly explained, “I’m not a celebrity. I run a classical music agency, and the producer said I could promote my company, so I came on the show.” She pointed at the director, Zhuang Xian, who was behind her. “He told me the guests would be from all walks of life, so I thought there would be a pianist or maybe a financial manager or something.”
Zhuang Xian sighed. “After all, this is an entertainment show! I thought you knew that!”
The group: “…”
【So Mu Wan really didn’t know in advance.】
【The producer even admitted it.】
【No wonder she can just casually announce a relationship. Earlier, those who called Mu Wan green tea need to be corrected—how much malice is there toward a beautiful woman?】
【Zhou Yang is a good guy. At first, he didn’t know and thought Mu Wan misspoke. He even subtly reminded her she could say it was a joke.】
【Zhou Yang is an angel.】
Fang Li subtly let out a sigh of relief. Since Mu Wan wasn’t from the entertainment industry, she wasn’t a competitor. She glanced at Mu Wan’s clothes, unsure of the brand, then looked at her wrist, where she wore a simple bracelet. She pulled up her sleeve, revealing a Cartier bracelet, and walked over to Zhou Yang.
“Yang Ge, you also play HW? I do too! We still have some time, let’s play together on our phones!”
Zhou Yang nodded. “Sure!”
The two took out their phones and entered the game interface.
Mu Wan asked curiously, “Does HW have a mobile version?”
Before Zhou Yang could explain, Fang Li answered first. “Yes, Wan Jie, you play HW, don’t you know?”
【Uh…】
【The green tea tactics are so transparent that I’m not even angry, it’s almost kind of funny.】
【Let me analyze—she’s probably trying to subtly criticize Mu Wan for buying an HW-themed ring, while not even knowing about the mobile game version?】
【That sounds about right. She might even want to show off her knowledge of the game to make Zhou Yang think more highly of her.】
【I predict her next line will be about her rank.】
“Yang Ge, what rank are you? I’m just two stars away from reaching King. Can you help me level up?”
【…】
【Wow, the previous prediction was spot on, are you a worm inside her stomach?】
