Shu Jinhui wanted to invite Wu Mu for dinner to express his thanks.
But Wu Mu looked at the time; it was already nearly eleven o’clock at night after the live stream ended, so he declined, saying it was too late.
He got into his small A8 to head home, while Shu Mei went home with her dad.
However, before parting ways, Shu Mei didn’t forget to remind Wu Mu, "Boss, keep an eye on the online buzz. The things from our live stream today will definitely make it to the trending searches."
This was inevitable; although the live stream had ended, the reactions after it hadn’t.
Being at the center of attention, facing so much criticism, and yet managing to achieve 1.5 billion in sales?
Even for a top-tier influencer, that’s a lot.
If this doesn’t make it to trending, that would be strange.
Shu Mei was quite usual now with her brother trending; after all, it seemed like the trending list was owned by him, going viral anytime.
She mainly reminded him, "After this trending search, the previous negative trending topics online will be less of a threat. Everyone’s attention will definitely shift."
Previously, the negative trending topics made by Wu Mu’s haters and the various negative trending topics sparked by behind-the-scenes videos were still on the list.
Those trending topics, although not as impactful as imagined, unexpectedly brought Wu Mu quite a few casual fans.
But if it keeps hanging there, being handled coldly and calming down, it would still somewhat negatively impact the perception of random passersby, leaving a bad impression in the minds of those unfamiliar with him.
But if they use new trending topics to thermally squeeze out the previous negative ones, the result would be completely different.
This person is morally corrupt, his persona collapsed?
And then at the peak of the collapse, he sold 1.5 billion?
So does this mean the more he collapses, the more impressive he becomes?
The perception these two scenarios leave on passersby is completely different.
No matter how much the online discussion spreads, ultimately, it comes down to performance and real money. Since so many people are still buying, it proves that the online buzz has no real impact on him.
"Okay." Wu Mu nodded, indicating that he understood. This update is available on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
He drove off, and even before the online feedback came in, the real-world feedback was already there.
After Wu Mu left, Shu Jinhui originally planned to call his daughter Shu Mei to leave too.
But turning his head, he found that his daughter was still craning her neck, looking in the direction her boss left.
Shu Jinhui didn’t mind, just found it amusing, "Stop looking, he’s already gone. You can see him at work tomorrow."
He sighed a bit, "Your boss is quite impressive. If he weren’t a celebrity, I would’ve introduced you to him."
Shu Mei, who was still looking in Wu Mu’s direction, perceived the implication, turned her head suddenly, and clenched her small fists, "Just because he’s a celebrity doesn’t mean you can’t introduce us. I think it’s completely possible!"
This genuinely surprised Shu Jinhui. He always knew about her fangirling and was open-minded enough not to interfere.
He understood and accepted her having a favorite idol.
But liking an idol and having actual intentions and plans to be with someone are two completely different things.
Initially, Shu Jinhui furrowed his brow subconsciously, but looking at his daughter’s expression and then in the direction Wu Mu left... it doesn’t seem impossible either?
If Wu Mu really became his son-in-law, couldn’t he have Wu Mu host live streams and sell goods every day?
If every session had today’s results, wouldn’t their Jia’an Appliances push competitor companies into bankruptcy?
And based on today’s interaction with Wu Mu, he seemed relaxed and steady, in line with previous investigations, with a high moral standard, remembering small favors done by his daughter.
If he truly ended up with his somewhat offbeat daughter, could be good?
Shu Jinhui hesitated for a moment, "If you really like him, I won’t oppose. But you need to be mentally prepared. Liking someone and being in a relationship are two different things. You need to think first, whether you can accommodate each other in life, especially since he’s a celebrity, always traveling... plus that scandal of his, it’s a bit problematic."
Well, anyone who truly cares about their daughter wouldn’t completely ignore Wu Mu’s scandalous past.
After all, those kinds of scandals have been spread everywhere, and everyone nationwide knows he had an unforgettable ex... Who wouldn’t have some concerns?
But listening to her father’s words, Shu Mei couldn’t help but look up at the sky, still worrying about her brother’s situation. He’s long been pursued by those who don’t worry!
And who knows how many people are keeping an eye on him in secret!
Aside from Shu Jinhui’s refreshed impression of Wu Mu because of today’s live stream,
on the other side, countless companies within the circle also had a refreshed impression of Wu Mu.
The performance of Celebrities in selling products has always been less than ideal. Plenty of companies want a piece of the live-stream selling pie, but their past attempts haven’t been well-received.
So when Wu Mu’s live-streaming announcement came out, it’s unknown how many companies in the circle were watching.
Once his live stream started, these people watched the entire event from start to finish.
Take Wu Mu’s old rival, Xiao Yi, for example.
He watched the whole thing without skipping a second.
And when he finished, his face was filled with a difficult expression and... apprehension.
The agent watching beside him understood why he had such an expression and sighed, "The gap is too large, huh."
