"It's good that you know this. Our deputy director isn't someone that just anyone can meet."

With a shrewd glint in his eyes, Li Liu curled his lip, glanced at Qu Jian'er, and scoffed.

Li Liu was a paparazzi who loved creating hype and breaking news. He died suddenly from staying up all night to catch celebrities in scandals. If the organizers hadn't urgently needed someone familiar with the entertainment industry, he wouldn't have had this opportunity to appear in public.

He had no liking for Qu Jian'er whatsoever. He always felt that such a person couldn't possibly rise to prominence so quickly; he must have used some unknown, less-than-honorable means.

He has no shortcuts.

Therefore, he despises those who take shortcuts the most.

Normally, he wouldn't even have the right to say a word to Qu Jian'er, but now it's different.

Li Liu continued, "I advise some people not to overestimate their abilities; the underworld is not a place you can meddle in."

Because he had just died and had been busy with the funeral rites, he had no idea about the recent situation in the underworld.

They had no idea that Qu Jian'er was the Lord of the Underworld.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to make such a fuss.

Qu Jian'er stopped in her tracks: "Are you implying that I'm overestimating myself?"

She looked around at the people repeatedly.

She noticed that Li Liu's gaze was fixed solely on her.

Qu Jian'er hadn't encountered someone so eager to be humiliated in a long time, and was quite surprised.

Li Liu raised his chin smugly: "Of course, I know how powerful you are in the mortal world, but this is our underworld territory. If you are nicer, I might consider putting in a good word for you."

He gave Qu Jian'er an arrogant look.

This made Qu Jian'er laugh out loud.

She was about to speak.

Yue Jin ran out of the house with the schedule in her hand.

He glanced at Li Liu.

She looked at Qu Jian'er with a smile on her face.

Yue Jinyu paused: "Mr. Qu, Ms. Qu, our boss said you would be coming, and specially asked me to come and receive you."

She looked left and right.

I noticed that everyone's expressions were rather complicated.

Especially Li Liu.

His face looked absolutely sour.

Yue Jin frowned and asked, "Didn't I ask you to be in charge of filming? What are you doing at the reception desk?"

Li Liu was so frightened that he couldn't even speak coherently.

What's going on?

Why would the deputy director personally intervene?
