The people in the courtyard were filled with emotion.

The situation outside the courtyard developed further.

A middle-aged man with a rather unpleasant expression asked, "Miss Qu, tell me, how much money would it take to settle this?"

Qu Jian'er barely managed to suppress her greed: "It's Director Sun! Look at what you're saying. We should uphold science and be wary of feudal superstition. However, we can daydream and realize our wish for things to be resolved in our dreams."

Σ(°Д°; Listener: You, a feudal lord, are talking to me about science?

Director Sun frowned deeply: "So, Miss Qu doesn't want to resolve this privately?"

Qu Jian'er smiled but remained silent. Some people's misdeeds could circle a planet. Since she had encountered them, it was perfectly acceptable for her to exert a little effort to hasten their retribution.

She only regretted that those small sums of money could no longer lie in her warm embrace.

Director Sun and Li Jie exchanged a glance, and then looked around to make sure there were no other people nearby.

Li Jie gritted her teeth: "I saw the termination contract you submitted to the company. If you can calm things down, we can provide some assistance."

It's no wonder Li Jie softened her stance; after all, Director Zhao, who had been confronted by Qu Jian'er, died on the spot during last night's car accident. Mr. He, who was in the same car as Director Zhao, became a vegetable.

Because they were traveling separately, Li Jie, Director Sun, and several assistants were only startled.

But it is enough to have a deterrent effect.

Qu Jian'er bluntly said, "I told you it wasn't me. You guys are basically doing a 'dancing on the edge of a cliff' kind of thing—your good days are over. In our line of work, we refuse to cooperate with those who are about to face disaster. You'd be better off choosing a good burial plot for yourselves."

Seeing that Qu Jian'er still wouldn't budge, Li Jie reverted to her shrewish nature: "Even if it wasn't you, you must have done something. Do you think you're the only one in the entire galaxy with any ability? Let me tell you, as long as you have money, you can save your life too!"

Qu Jian'er was easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force. She teased, "How about I enroll you in a literacy training class and have someone teach you how to write the character for 'death'? Hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Furious, Li Jie grabbed her bag and turned to leave, not even bothering to fawn over the equally pitiful Director Sun. However, as she walked downhill, she accidentally twisted her ankle.

"ah--"

Li Jie rolled down the slope.

Seeing this, Director Sun, who had originally intended to leave, became frightened and immediately turned back.

Qu Jian'er glanced at the lean and wiry Director Sun. Of all the people at the dinner that night, the man before her was the most fortunate. He had no shortage of bad deeds, but he had never committed any truly heinous crimes.

The old saying goes, "If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear." All evildoers will be affected that night.

Because that night was the Ghost Festival.

It is the day when all ghosts roam at night, the only day when all evil spirits can cause trouble.

Qu Jian'er didn't know if there was an underworld in the interstellar space, but the yin energy and resentment that day were very heavy. So heavy that even she was affected and encountered a ghost wall, something she had never experienced before.

There can be no gods in a certain world.

But after a person dies, there will definitely be rules and regulations governing them.

In her past life, she used her swords to draw arrays and establish contact with the underworld at that time. If possible, she would try to find a tool that could replace the Twin Nightmare Blades and use arrays to contact this underworld.

The fact that Director Sun has been able to remain unharmed until now suggests that his ancestors must have accumulated great virtue.

Director Sun suppressed his arrogance: "To be honest, I do like keeping mistresses, but it's always been based on mutual consent. Besides, I deeply love my wife. We don't have any illegitimate children, and I have no reason to get involved in a murder case. Miss Qu, I was only involved that night... Am I really beyond saving?"

Qu Jian'er chuckled softly.

Director Sun couldn't figure out Qu Jian'er's thoughts. He had already discovered that she wasn't as useless as rumored, and he regretted being tempted by Qu Jian'er's beauty that night.

If he could turn back time, he would definitely lock himself at home and ponder his friend's new variety show.

The thought of variety shows comes to mind.

Director Sun said excitedly, "Oh, right, Miss Qu, I have a really good role here. If you handle it well, you can definitely turn your career around with it. I can't guarantee you'll be able to clear your name, but it will free you from the stigma."

Seeing that Li Jie was trying to test Qu Jian'er with money, but the other party wasn't buying it.

Director Sun came up with this compromise.

Of course, if Qu Jian'er agrees to help him, he can also help her pay part of the termination fee.

Upon hearing this, Qu Jian'er began to worry, knowing that she was not good at acting.

You can make a living based on your looks, but you really can't rely on your acting skills.

Bai Wei ran over and rested her chin on Qu Jian'er's shoulder: "Director Sun, it's not that horror variety show that just aired its first season and became incredibly popular, is it?"

Director Sun vaguely remembered Bai Wei: "Yes, yes, I'm the assistant director for the new season. The director is my childhood friend Liu Dahao, a well-known director in the industry. If Miss Qu wants to go, I'll contact him right now!"

Bai Wei offered her opinion: "Sister, we wanted to terminate the contract, right? I heard that this variety show always invites whoever is popular, and that Qu Jiaorou has always been a regular guest."

Qu Jian'er never considered confronting Qu Jiaorou, who was favored by fortune.

But if there's an opportunity to successfully annoy the other person, she'll be very happy to seize it.

Seeing Qu Jian'er waver.

Bai Wei added fuel to the fire: "The variety show pay won't be low; at least it'll cover the down payment for installment plans."

Before you've built up your reputation, what's the best way to establish a solid foundation and make money the fastest?

Now there is one right in front of Qu Jian'er.

and.

Most importantly, there's a lot of money to be made!

Without a second thought, Qu Jian'er said, "Then, it's a pleasure to work together. Director Sun, come in and have some water before you leave."

Director Sun was warmly received, but as he stepped into the courtyard, he stumbled and was shocked by the dilapidated state of the place.

Meng Qingyang led three identical-looking babies to wash their faces, while Xiao Zhang replaced his old, broken hovercar with a magnetic electric car, which was undergoing routine maintenance.
