Relying on Physics to Exorcise Ghosts, I Became Famous on a Science Popularization Variety Show

Ji Qian thought she was having a bad day. In five years in the entertainment industry, she was still a barely known, faded starlet, with a pile of weird black gossip accusations. Recently, people e...

Chapter 17 Ambassador for the Promotion of Metaphysics

"Teacher Ji, please sit down!"

"Teacher Ji, have some tea!"

"Teacher Ji, have some fruit!"

"Teacher Ji, let me carve an apple blossom for you!"

"Teacher Ji, would you like some sunflower seeds? I just cracked some open, they're still warm!"

Once inside, Han Mengyao realized that it wasn't just the assistant director who was acting strangely; everyone in the room, from the screenwriter to the production assistant, was fawning over and trying to please Ji Qian.

Even Director Liu managed a stiff smile on his wrinkled face.

"Director, we've come to talk about what happened this afternoon." Seeing Ji Qian gradually overshadowed by the people trying to curry favor with her, Han Mengyao had no choice but to speak up herself.

"Ah, we've already prepared that." Director Liu picked up two documents from the side and pushed them in front of Ji Qian and Han Mengyao respectively.

"We made an urgent application to our superiors this afternoon, and this is a newly approved contract. Please take a look."

As soon as Ji Qian broke free from the crowd, she saw the contract handed to her.

As Ji Qian sipped her tea, she flipped through the contract. She nearly choked on the first clause; several large characters were glaringly written on the white A4 paper:

"To help promote metaphysical culture."

"No, Director Liu, wasn't this prohibited before?" Han Mengyao also saw this line of text and immediately became agitated.

As we all know, according to policy, these non-scientific events are prohibited from being publicized. If Ji Qian really wants to follow this contract, he will probably be directly banned by the higher-ups in a few days.

Director Liu wasn't surprised by their reaction; after all, he wasn't exactly calm when he first saw the policy.

"Haha, you're surprised, aren't you? I was shocked when I first saw it too."

I called my superiors and some high-ranking friends, and they said that there have been more and more paranormal events happening in various places in the past two years, and the higher-ups can no longer keep it a secret.

After several meetings and discussions, the leaders finally decided that it is better to guide than to block. Rather than avoiding the issue and causing people to get hurt, it is better to actively promote awareness and help people increase their defense awareness and resistance.

The relevant policies are expected to be released tomorrow. The higher-ups were still worried about the difficulties in promoting them, but then the incident that happened this afternoon happened to Teacher Ji Qian, and now netizens' attitudes are starting to waver.

The higher-ups now hope to hire Teacher Ji Qian as a member of the metaphysical promotion team to help people adapt to a world where humans and ghosts coexist as soon as possible.

Then Director Liu took out another document: "This is the official appointment document issued by the higher-ups. If Teacher Ji Qian agrees, she can officially take office tomorrow."

Ji Qian was stunned by Director Liu's words and couldn't react for a moment.

Han Mengyao was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She immediately pulled Ji Qian aside and said to Director Liu, "Director, this is not a small matter. Ji Qian and I both need to go back and think about it."

Director Liu didn't force them. He even handed all three contracts to Han Mengyao, asking them to go back and study them carefully to see if there were any complaints. He promised to make appropriate adjustments based on their needs.

Ji Qian was dazed and confused as Han Mengyao pulled her back into the house.

As usual, Mi Yesi was applying a face mask in the living room when she heard them return. She didn't greet them, probably because she was still holding a grudge about what happened yesterday.

Han Mengyao was also in a state of confusion and didn't care about Mi Yesi at all. She pulled Ji Qian straight into the bedroom and locked the door behind her.

Han Mengyao covered all the cameras in the room with a cloth, and then removed Ji Qian's and her own microphones before finally sitting down to ask Ji Qian, "What are you thinking?"

Ji Qian finally came to her senses and looked up at Han Mengyao: "Is this true? I feel like I've been transported into a fantasy novel."

Han Mengyao was clearly not quite sober either: "I also find it unbelievable. Do you need to contact your agent?"

Ji Qian certainly needed to contact Liu Xia, but she had left in such a hurry that she forgot to get her phone back.

"Bang bang bang!" "Who is it?" Two knocks came from the outside room, and Mi Yesi was the first to stand up and open the door.

Ji Qian and Han Mengyao, who were inside, also heard the knocking, but they were a step too late. Just as Mi Yesi closed the door, the two of them were peeking out from the door frame.

As soon as Mi Yesi turned her head, she saw two heads stacked by the bedroom door, which startled her so much that she almost dropped what she was holding.

What are you two doing?!

Mi Yesi was quite annoyed at being startled, and her tone wasn't very pleasant, but she still handed the things in her hand to Ji Qian and Han Mengyao, saying, "The assistant director just came to give you your phones, here." As she spoke, she handed over three phones.

Ji Qian and Han Mengyao took back their phones and thanked the seller, then both turned their attention to the third phone.

—The pink phone case features a large photo of Miyesi, surrounded by Y2K stickers, each corner highlighting her strong personal characteristics.

Mi Yesi noticed the gazes of the two people opposite her and instantly put on a proud expression: "The assistant director said that we will need the cell phones tomorrow, so we're distributing them now."

Then, as if casually saying, "My phone cases are all custom-made and very expensive. I was worried about scratching them when I put them away."

They actually gave out cell phones?!

Something big is going to happen tomorrow!

Am I the only one wondering what Ji Qian and Han Mengyao went to do inside just now?

They even covered the cameras; it looks like they're up to something big.

【Yaoyao! Mommy won't allow you to make this friend】

[This Ji Qian really knows how to ride on anyone's popularity; she's riding on Xu Qi during the day and Han Mengyao at night, she doesn't miss a beat!]

[A time management guru?]

This phone case should be able to prevent theft, right?

[Hahaha, the thief was laughed at by his peers for three years for stealing]

Lin Xiao, you...

Oh no, I'm about to be overwhelmed by the smell of tea!

Technology is so advanced now; I can almost smell the fragrance of tea through the screen!

Ji Qian and Han Mengyao didn't know how to respond to Mi Yesi, so they smiled and agreed twice before retreating back into the bedroom.

"Sister Xia, Director Liu gave me two contracts today. I'll send them to you in a bit so you can take a look."

Liu Xia was wearing a face mask when she answered the phone, and her speech was a little slurred: "My salary has arrived, Director Liu told me."

Director Liu contacted Liu Xia about this matter that afternoon.

Liu Xia had reviewed the contract, and all the terms were reasonable and legal.

Liu Xia had also inquired about the new policy, and it was indeed going to be implemented tomorrow. Director Liu was in such a hurry this time because he wanted to ride the first wave of popularity after the policy was announced.

While removing her face mask, Liu Xia explained to Ji Qian, "I think this is a great idea; it kills two birds with one stone."

You no longer need to hide your ability to see ghosts, and the contract promises to provide you with corresponding assistance. You also don't need to become a nun to avoid disaster anymore. Isn't that perfect?

Looking at Liu Xia's relaxed expression on her phone, Ji Qian felt utterly exhausted.
