Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Why Be a Security Guard If You Don’t Slack Off Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Why Be a Security Guard If You Don’t Slack Off “Alright, young man, here you go.” The middle-aged uncle nodded and took out five dollars for Wu Mu.
“Sir, can you leave your phone number? I’ll add you on WeChat and pay you back once my phone is charged,” Wu Mu said.
The middle-aged uncle chuckled, “No need to pay back.”
He then walked away.
Wu Mu, seeing Lin Qingyue hiding on the side filming, smiled and said, “Director Lin, this isn’t considered exploiting celebrity privileges for profit, right? The uncle didn’t even recognize .”
Lin Qingyue was speechless, “No, it isn’t.”
Wu Mu really had a bit of a social phobia; he didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
You could say Wu Mu had the confidence of soone completely unbothered!
He never worried about feeling embarrassed if soone rejected him.
After buying a ticket with five dollars, he boarded the subway to the Shen City Olympic Sports Center.
…
Thirty minutes later, Wu Mu arrived at the Shen City Olympic Sports Center.
The semifinals and finals of the singer-songwriter competition were broadcast live, and were arranged in the form of a concert.
Not only would the number of audience mbers inside the venue increase to ten thousand people.
But also, the big screen outside the Olympic Sports Center would broadcast the scene from inside the venue live.
Thus, by just before eight in the morning, there were already quite a few people standing in groups outside the center.
Among them were audience mbers waiting to enter and fans of the various contestants who had co to the venue to support their idols.
Presumably because there were more people than expected, the event organizers had to hire additional security at the last minute.
Wu Mu avoided the crowd and went to an employee entrance.
The broker he had contacted earlier was already waiting there, along with thirty or forty other part-tirs.
The scene was chaotic, with people everywhere asking nas, distributing clothes, and instructing others to line up.
Wu Mu blended in while the broker was overwheld.
“What’s your na?”
Wu Mu mumbled a response.
“Give your ID card, go over there to collect your clothes and a temporary badge, and then co back here tonight to return the clothes and get your ID card back,” the broker, not paying him much attention and completely unaware that he was the big star Wu Mu, stated.
However, a staff mber distributing clothes seed slightly puzzled as she looked at Wu Mu.
But because Wu Mu was wearing a mask, she ultimately did not recognize him.
After changing into the security uniform and putting on the security cap, and still wearing the mask, Wu Mu looked even less recognizable.
The audience hadn’t entered yet; his main responsibility that morning was the security work outside the venue.
Wu Mu was assigned to a specific area around the periter of the venue.
The job was simple, just stand there and guard, usually not requiring their involvent unless there was an ergency.
It was undoubtedly boring just standing there.
And what was key was that this kind of footage would certainly be cut; he wouldn’t earn any points from it.
So, he still needed to find a way to get on cara.
Wu Mu approached a group of fans excitedly chatting.
“Hey, which groups are left in today’s semifinals?” he started the conversation.
The three or four people chatting together were clearly taken aback.
Was this security guard so friendly, chatting with people he didn’t know?
And why would a security guard care about today’s competition groups?
A girl with long hair hesitated before responding, “The remaining groups are Mo Mo, He Jie, and Zheng Qiang.”
Unsurprisingly, the strongest contenders, Mo Mo, He Jie, and Zheng Qiang, had made it to the final.
Wu Mu asked with interest, “What about Xu Zhiwen? Was he eliminated?”
The long-haired girl shook her head, “No, he’s now partnered with He Jie.”
He wasn’t eliminated.
Wu Mu thought the guy who stepped on his face earlier had been kicked out.
He clicked his tongue, “This production team is no good, how could soone of his caliber still be here?”
The long-haired girl was speechless, “Xu Zhiwen’s strength is still very strong. He may not be great as a team leader, but I think he’s a good co-worker.”
Is this security guard an anti-fan of Xu Zhiwen, looking down on him like that?
Naturally, Wu Mu looked down on him, “His level and you call that strong? It’s only because Wu Mu isn’t there. If Wu Mu were there, he’d have been eliminated long ago.”
Although the long-haired girl didn’t understand what the connection between Wu Mu being there and Xu Zhiwen being eliminated was, since Xu Zhiwen wasn’t the weakest among the eight.
But she still agreed with Wu Mu’s abilities, nodding earnestly, “Wu Mu’s level is indeed stronger than his.”
It’s like they say, you only cherish what you have once you’ve lost it.
When Wu Mu was on the show, these viewers gave him low points like crazy. Once Wu Mu left, they started to miss him.
The long-haired girl’s companions all sighed in agreent, “Wu Mu’s performances were indeed impressive, especially the one with the Heavenly Queen. I was moved to tears just watching him.”
“His three performances were just too spectacular. These past few episodes, no one has matched up to those three.”
Soone curious asked, “Where is Wu Mu now? Is he still in the industry?”
The long-haired girl shook her head, “I don’t know, I haven’t kept up with him. He might have been blacklisted and left the industry.”
“What a pity.”
Not everyone follows the trending searches daily.
Even though Wu Mu had been trending for a few days because of Star Agency and so rchandise sales, many people were still unaware of his whereabouts.
Wu Mu ca out to show himself off, “Hey, he’s doing quite well, hasn’t left the industry. He’s currently at the Beijing TV Station’s Star Agency, shining as brightly as any singer-songwriter.”
Hmm?
The long-haired girl was clearly puzzled that a man, and a security guard at that, sounded like a fan of Wu Mu.
It was a bit odd, n rarely chased celebrities, let alone male celebrities of the sa sex.
Afraid of being recognized, Wu Mu didn’t continue chatting with her and switched to mingling with another group.
Hidden in the shadows, Lin Qingyue and the production staff watching Wu Mu’s actions were just speechless.
He was really entertaining.
Was he really here to work as a security guard? He didn’t care whether people recognized him or not, he just went up and chatted with anyone.
If soone had snacks, he would shalessly sidle up and ask if he could try so.
If he wasn’t wearing a security uniform, you’d think he was just a spectator.
Not just chatting around, this guy was slacking off too!
Watching Wu Mu go to the restroom for the fifth ti under the pretense of reporting to his supervisor, Lin Qingyue couldn’t hold back, “Hey, isn’t it a bit wrong to slack off like that?”
Wu Mu looked at her quizzically, “What’s wrong with it?”
You tell what’s wrong.
Lin Qingyue looked at him with a speechless expression.
Wu Mu argued righteously, “Nothing’s wrong! I ca here to work as a security guard, not slacking off would be insane!”
You can’t be serious, there aren’t really people who work as security guards and don’t slack off, are there?
Who becos a security guard to earn a low salary or work long hours?
Righteous and emboldened, Wu Mu finished speaking, then as if rembering sothing, he earnestly said to the cara, “Oh, I’m doing this to better simulate real working conditions, I’m actually a very diligent person, I never slack off in private.”
Lin Qingyue: “…”
Ti passed quickly as they chatted idly and slacked off.
As noon approached, a sudden burst of shrill screams erupted from the outskirts of the crowd.
“Mo Mo, Mo Mo!”
“He Jie, I love you!”
“Zhao Hongwei, you’re the best!”
The singer-songwriter guests had arrived.
