Chapter 744 - 508: Competing for the Young Master? Over 20 Billion!? (4k)

As soon as Wu Mu sat back down, she attracted the attention of everyone around her.

Especially Sun Yueqing behind her and Mo Mo beside her, whose gazes almost felt tangible.

But since she had just sat down and everyone was still watching, it wasn’t really the right time to chat, so they had to temporarily hold back and watch the performance.

Once fewer people were paying attention, Sun Yueqing behind Wu Mu couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Mu, you were too impulsive just now."

Though she said "impulsive," her tone was completely different from her usual sharpness, it was soft and fluffy.

And meeting her gaze, it was softer than water.

Wu Mu put on a serious facade, "Qing, you were too impulsive just now."

Sun Yueqing paused, then blushed a bit and lightly hit him, "I just couldn’t stand him, nothing but a pretty face. Why should he look down on us... Anyway, without you, Mu, I wouldn’t act in his movie."

Wu Mu chuckled, "Well, we think alike."

Sun Yueqing’s gaze softened more, "It might affect your development."

Wu Mu was unconcerned, "I have plenty of enemies, one more won’t hurt."

Yeah, forget about Lin Xueming, even if X were to ban him, it wouldn’t matter; he could just use Douyin, Zhihu, Instagram, or even a personal blog.

Using the Performance Card would surely bring heat, use it enough and X might even chill out.

Sitting in front and behind each other, it wasn’t convenient to talk much, so more words had to wait until after the event, otherwise with Sun Yueqing’s posture, she’d want to jump into his arms immediately.

Listening to Wu Mu and Sun Yueqing’s exchange, Mo Mo, sitting beside Wu Mu, naturally heard it too but didn’t interrupt.

She only sighed softly after they finished talking, "Wu Mu really knows how to cause trouble, but..."

She chuckled, eyes shimmering, "So handsome."

Although Wu Mu’s earlier actions weren’t great for the image of X Night, such boldness for a friend was highly attractive to girls... Well, boys too.

Li Cheng, sitting a seat away, couldn’t help but speak up, "Wu Mu, do you know that much about movies?"

It’s strange, the internet generally says this guy does nothing but play around.

All the reality shots on shows show him lounging around like a slacker.

But from the words he just said, why does he seem so knowledgeable about Lin Xueming and the Dawn Star Plan? Looks like he’s done a lot of research privately.

"I occasionally watch all sorts of films," Wu Mu replied casually.

"Occasionally watching grants you this level?" Li Cheng was puzzled.

"It’s not that hard, just pay a bit more attention while watching," Wu Mu was still unconcerned.

Yeah, he hadn’t intentionally studied Lin Xueming’s films, those ideas just came.

He often watches movies when idle, reads, and takes notes.

His mind was originally quite sharp; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been a big game company boss in his past life. Now with enhanced physique, he’s even more observant and thoughtful.

At this rate, add a bit more and he’ll become a genius.

As people around Wu Mu couldn’t help but speak up, the event on stage continued.

After several more programs, it was time for the annual humanitarian awards.

The person honored last year as "Moving Hua Country" was invited on stage, an old village doctor from a remote mountain.

His story is quite legendary, early on he was among the first college graduates after the resumption of entrance exams, a qualified doctor from Beijing Xiehe, but due to a family incident, he retreated to the mountains to hide from reality.

Seeing locals often ill and left to die, out of compassion he started treating them, and has been doing it almost a lifetime, riding a motorcycle daily to visit and treat villagers.

And last year, when a flash flood hit, he courageously organized rescue for hundreds of villagers, gaining public recognition.

But though the story’s legendary, with public welfare, truth be told, many people barely live well themselves, not having the energy to focus on these matters.

So when he took the stage, he wasn’t very popular, with many on the scene pretending to attentively watch.

However, Wu Mu paid real attention.

Indeed, after all, his reason for attending X Night was to cooperate in public welfare promotion.

Soon after the humanitarian awards, Mo Mo went on stage to sing.

Even though it was an old song, compared with Lu Yao’s earlier performance... it was like listening to a heavenly melody.

Comparing the two would be an insult to Mo Mo.

With Mo Mo’s stature on stage, the event was nearing its end, only a few major awards remaining unannounced.

Especially the one many here cared greatly about...

Focus heightened with such anticipation that Wu Mu occasionally glanced behind him and noticed some opponents in the second row were almost fidgeting.

Still, they didn’t wait long.

After the Annual Star Person award, the host began teasing the audience’s anticipation.

"Next up are the powerhouse awards, the ones most eagerly awaited yearly, representing the two hottest, most talked-about artists on our platform from the past year."

"Indeed, countless viewers and guests inside and outside are eagerly waiting for these awards to be announced, I can see many guests struggling to sit still." The female host playfully teased.
