Chapter 18 Is it possible to withhold pay? Director Sun is trying to curry favor.



The incense wouldn't light several times in a row. Encountering this strange situation before filming started was a real challenge for the directors and planners.

Director Liu asked, "What happened? It's been raining for almost a week, could it have gotten damp?"

Director Sun shook his head, pondering carefully: "I remember you told them to pay special attention and buy only fresh incense. It's not the people's fault, and it shouldn't be the incense's fault either."

A tall, Mediterranean-looking planner sarcastically remarked, "It's hard to say. Maybe it's because a jinx came to the production team and ruined the feng shui."

Director Sun frowned: "Chen Ping, what do you mean?"

Chen Ping sneered, "Assistant Director, don't be so hasty. I didn't name names because of your lover."

Director Sun's heart skipped a beat: "Wait, you just said 'mistress,' who is my mistress?!"

Chen Ping's words were blunt: "At this point, stop pretending to be stupid. Everyone knows that Qu Jian'er only got the chance to participate in the show because she slept with you."

Upon hearing this, Director Sun nearly fainted in front of everyone.

Director Sun, supporting Chief Director Liu, said tremblingly, "Who else is going to talk about this?"

Director Liu, supporting the person, said, "Everyone says that, but I've always wanted to ask you, is she really not..."

Director Sun interrupted sharply: "No! How can you think that too? Then wouldn't that mean... it's all over!"

The thought that Qu Jian'er might get angry made Sun Buhui break out in a cold sweat.

He seemed to foresee the other party's thunderous rage.

Chen Ping assumed that Director Sun was afraid of his wife: "Are you afraid your wife will come to the show and catch you cheating?"

Director Sun glared at Chen Ping and urged Chief Director Liu, "Chen Ping, you'll be ruined by your foul mouth sooner or later! Quick, Lao Liu, stop the rumors. Once she gets angry, it won't just be me who suffers."

Director Liu was surprised: "I can understand what you're saying individually, but I don't understand it when you put them together."

Director Sun boldly guessed: "Yes, the incense offering failed... Oh no, oh no."

All the question marks couldn't express the confusion of those around them; they could only follow the hurried Director Sun.

Let's go together to find out.

Many staff members noticed the actions of Director Liu and others, and then saw that they were heading towards Qu Jian'er.

Everyone speculated that Qu Jian'er had caused trouble, and they all started to secretly criticize and spread rumors.

"What are the directors doing? Looking for Qu Jian'er, it seems she deliberately spread those rumors!"

"Look how angry our Director Sun is, he can barely walk straight. I really don't know what Qu Jian'er is thinking."

"Qu Jian'er thought that by having a relationship with the director and spreading the word, she could win people's favor, but little did she know that she was digging her own grave."

"I'll just wait quietly for Qu Jian'er to be driven away, so that our production team can have twice the fresh air."

Director Sun was unaware of what the staff were thinking. He hurriedly found Qu Jian'er in a corner. On his way there, he thought about many things.

After failing to obtain incense, eliminating impossible options, only one last reason remains.

He's been a director for so many years.

He had never heard of incense failing to light when offered.

Therefore, it's no wonder that he naturally guessed that Qu Jian'er was angry and that's why she did something.

Qu Jian'er wasn't used to other teacups, so she brought over the large tea mug from the Taoist temple.

now.

Qu Jian'er lay back in the chair, holding a cup of goji berries, drinking with great relish: "Oh, Director Sun is here. Don't be shy, make yourself at home."

(▼皿▼#) Others: Tone it down, don't act like this is your private property.

Director Sun waved his hands repeatedly, respectfully saying, "No, no, Master Qu... is Teacher Qu angry?"

Qu Jian'er squinted: "No, are you going to cut my pay? The contract doesn't say anything about deducting wages for slacking off, does it?"

(oAochuan) Others: What kind of lazy money-grubber is this?

Director Sun quickly shook his head, carefully reminding him, "No, no, it's a rumor, it's that rumor."

Qu Jian'er said in one breath, "Oh, I understand. You mean I'm angry that someone is making up those baseless and nonsensical things about us behind our backs?"

Director Sun nodded repeatedly: "It's my fault for not paying attention. I've already told them to shut up. Don't be angry, Teacher Qu."

Qu Jian'er looked around: "I'm not angry at all. I'm overjoyed to be able to connect with such a big director."

Director Sun broke out in a cold sweat: "Teacher Qu, please don't say that. It's my honor to be associated with you!"

Those around them were so astonished they forgot everything else.

They never expected that Director Sun would be in such a hurry, just to apologize to Qu Jian'er.

Why?

Could it be some kind of interest/fun?

Are they out of touch with the times?

Director Sun breathed a sigh of relief, his tone full of obsequiousness.

The reason he didn't notice the rumors immediately was because he saw the news about Li Jie's hospitalization.

On her way to work, Li Jie mistakenly got into an unlicensed taxi, where she was robbed of all her Star Coins and stabbed more than a dozen times. Although the stabs avoided vital organs, the pain was real and intense.

The news report caused an uproar on the Star Network and convinced Director Sun that this bad luck was no coincidence!

so.

He was in a daze all morning not because he was stupid or hadn't slept well, but because he was filled with lingering fear.

So much so that he was too busy celebrating his narrow escape from death to stop the rumors.

Qu Jian'er smiled and said, "You're alright, no need to worry so much. Oh, you saw her accident?"

Seeing Sun's unpleasant expression, Qu Jian'er unusually spoke a few more words.

Director Sun breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked him: "Yes, thank you, thank you, Teacher Qu."
