The uploaded video was quickly posted on the official Weibo account of Starfeather Company and was then shared by many netizens.

Among them are many artists, who have all praised Mu Chen's approach and even expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhao Simin and her studio in their comments.

From Zhao Simin to her studio, many artists try to avoid her if they can. If they can't avoid her, they always maintain a polite demeanor. Zhao Simin and her paparazzi team infiltrate everywhere, considering it their duty to excavate celebrities' privacy. Naturally, the artists dare not offend her, fearing that she will unearth their little secrets.

There is also a group of artists who have been greatly harmed by this. Their experiences are similar to Mu Chen's, except that a few baseless photos, which were falsely depicted by Zhao Simin, have caused them to suffer reputational ruin. Even if they were to sue her, they would be unable to salvage their reputation in time.

However, this time Zhao Simin ran into Muzhen, a tough nut to crack. Once his explosive temper erupted, he wouldn't give anyone face. If Zhao Simin pissed him off, how could he tolerate it? He would scold people first before anything else. How much resentment did this scolding relieve in the hearts of the artists? Once the artists showed their support, their fans also followed suit to attack Zhao Simin. In addition, Muzhen's talent agency handled the scandal more promptly this time. Besides a few photos, Zhao Simin didn't have any more concrete evidence. Liang Xiao also represented the company in clarifying that legal action would be taken regarding this matter.

So Zhao Simin could only admit defeat, and that evening, she posted an apology on Weibo to Mu Chen, stating that the recent rumors about Mu Chen being homosexual were not true. She also called Mu Chen's manager, Liang Xiao, hoping to privately resolve the matter.

Muchen was no longer worried about the future development of this matter; someone will naturally take care of it for him.

In short, there were no further reports from the media regarding the scandal between him and Lu Ze. Occasionally, some netizens would casually discuss it online, but it had no real impact on him.

Without the burden of scandal, Mu Chen felt a profound sense of relief. He completely forgot about Lu Ze and they had not been in contact since the press conference.

In the following few months, his work became increasingly busy. By the end of the year, Mu Chen, as a singer and actor, was invited to various award ceremonies. He even made it to the nomination list for several major awards. However, he ended up being just a participant and did not win any awards.

As a result, he was voted as the most pitiful male celebrity of the year on a well-known online forum in the country.

Mu Chen felt that the nickname given to him by netizens was well-deserved. It wasn't because he didn't win any awards in the major competitions, he knew his own abilities very well - his singing skills and acting were lacking. It was probably because the company had given him a backdoor entry to the nomination.

He felt this way because on New Year's Eve, a day of family reunion, after busying himself all afternoon, he could only stare blankly at the table full of New Year's dinner by himself.

Opening my phone and looking at Weibo and WeChat Moments, I see familiar celebrities and friends sharing photos of their reunions with their families.

Mu Chen felt even more that the title of "the most hapless artist of the year" was particularly fitting at this moment.

With a sigh, Muchen, feeling a little lonely, turned on the television with the remote control. As he listened to the sounds of laughter coming from the TV, he picked up his chopsticks, ready to spend the night watching the Spring Festival Gala, an evening that should have been spent with loved ones.

"Ding dong."

Just at that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

On New Year's Eve, as everyone busied themselves with reunions, who would come to seek him? Mu Chen stood up from the dining table and went to open the door.

He glanced outside from the doorway and, illuminated by the lights in the corridor, saw that it was empty with no signs of anyone.

Puzzled, Mu Chen opened the door and with a gust of cold wind, a figure suddenly jumped in front of him.

Before Muchen could clearly see who the person was, he was embraced by this tall figure. "Happy New Year!"
