Variety shows are crazy but don't cause internal conflict; I'm proud to drive others crazy

Chapter 26 I'm a bit of an idiot, but I'm not stupid.

【No way, you've just turned against me like that? Why don't you look in the mirror and see how much of a sycophant you are!】

I have a thousand reasons to suspect that this old Taoist priest has taken a liking to Jiang Nanxi's skills!

[Hahaha, following Jiang Nanxi's logic, I think I'd be suitable to be an emperor too.]

The director was speechless when he saw the old Taoist priest's obsequious behavior and finally realized that he might be a fraud!

"director."

Jiang Nanxi pushed past the old Taoist priest, walked over to the director, and pulled him to a corner.

"I've resolved the 'Mother and Child Curse' for you without any casualties. Shouldn't you pay me? You promised a million."

The director coughed lightly. "When you asked for a million, I didn't agree. Considering how long we've known each other, could you give me a discount?"

"Nine hundred and ninety thousand, that's the lowest I can go."

"..."

Seeing the director's conflicted expression and reluctance to pay, Jiang Nanxi had no choice but to say, "Well, considering how long we've known each other, I'll pay 990,000 to get rid of all the evil spirits here, and I guarantee your variety show can continue filming smoothly without having to move."

The director looked startled. "You mean, there are many evil spirits in this place, not just these two?"

"correct."

Jiang Nanxi pointed to the mountains shrouded in the night not far away, "This small village is in a basin on the outskirts of the mountains, surrounded by continuous mountains, and full of strange things. It's July now, and those evil things like to come out and be active at this time."

If you're still worried and insist on filming in another location, it'll probably cost a lot of money, right? The travel expenses for moving guests and staff, and the cost of renting a new filming location—that's a considerable expense. You might as well give that money to me.”

"That's true."

After thinking it over, the director decided to give the money to Jiang Nanxi, since he had seen Jiang Nanxi's abilities and she was indeed quite reliable.

He initially thought that Jiang Nanxi's first rescue of Li Chu was a coincidence, and the second discovery of the ghost doll was accidental. However, the third time she directly defeated two ghosts, and even the old Taoist priest became her lackey. He really had to believe in her abilities!
The director readily transferred the money to Jiang Nanxi, who then went to deal with the pair of evil spirits.

After resolving the "Mother and Child Curse," Jiang Nanxi prepared to return to her guesthouse to rest, but the old Taoist priest blocked her way.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The old Taoist priest smiled obsequiously at her, "I was blind and didn't know that such a noble soul resided within your body."

"Your Majesty, I have a Taoist temple in the mountains nearby. Would you be interested in visiting it?"

Jiang Nanxi: "Is it me you're offering to?"

Old Taoist priest: ?

Jiang Nanxi: "The one enshrined in the Taoist temple isn't me, so what's there for me to visit?"

Old Taoist priest: ?

The old Taoist priest's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "This person is highly skilled, how can he be so narcissistic!"

Seeing that Jiang Nanxi was about to leave, the old Taoist priest quickly added, "Your Majesty, the one enshrined in the Taoist temple is not you, but if you wish, we can enshrine you!"

Jiang Nanxi sneered, "Something must have happened to your dilapidated Taoist temple, otherwise why would you be so kind?"

The old Taoist priest's expression froze; he hadn't expected her to see through it so easily.

The old Taoist priest smiled awkwardly and said, "My temple has run into a little trouble, and now I have nowhere to live. I can only stay with the villagers. I usually earn money by performing exorcisms, and the villagers will let me stay there. But my temple was passed down from my master, and I can't let some weird things occupy it forever!"
"If Your Majesty could visit my Taoist temple and help me get rid of that thing, I can give you all the money I've recently made through swindling... oh no, I mean, I mean, I've earned."

"Don't go."

Jiang Nanxi decisively refused, "You're in this small, run-down village, and you can't earn much from a single order. You probably don't have much savings. Who cares about your little bit of money?"

Besides, something that dares to seize even a Taoist temple must be incredibly powerful. I may be a bit of an idiot, but I'm not stupid. I only take jobs that are low-risk and pay well.

The old Taoist priest: "..."

Jiang Nanxi left the old Taoist priest and went into the guesthouse. After washing up, she went straight to sleep.

When she woke up the next day, she found that all the negative topics about her online had disappeared, and her Weibo account had actually gained a lot of followers.

In her latest Weibo post, there are still many comments from netizens, including comments from new fans and comments from new haters.

Chosen Working Ox: [I love Jiang Nanxi's spirit! I'm a fan now! Who understands how I feel like dying every day at work? I wish I could go crazy like Jiang Nanxi!]

Jiang Nanxi V: Quit your job, I'll support you. Is 100 a month enough? If not, I'll add another zero, 100 for 10 months!

Chosen Working Ox: ??? Thank you so much, I was almost moved!

I'm never being a simp again: [Can Jiang Nanxi marry me? Ahhh, Jiang Nanxi! Nothing else, I just love crazy people! Ahhh!]

Jiang Nanxi V: Don't get so worked up. You deserve someone better, not someone like me who's the best.

I'm never being a simp again: ?

White Moonlight is Yan Shen: [Jiang Nanxi is such an idiot! How can anyone be a fan of such a crazy woman! She goes crazy every day, and then she acts like a scoundrel, taking advantage of my Yan Shen. I want to break her hand!]

Jiang Nanxi V: Oh, then come find me. I happen to know two human traffickers.

The white moonlight is Yan Shen: ?
When Jiang Nanxi's few fans saw the attacks from the haters, they originally wanted to defend her and fight back, but they found that Jiang Nanxi herself stepped in and shut them all down.

The key is,

After she finished criticizing someone, she stretched in front of the variety show cameras and said, "It feels so good, so good. I can start cursing right after I woke up. What a wonderful day."

Haters: ? ? ?
Because so much happened last night, the director postponed filming so that the guests and staff could get some more rest.

Filming only began after lunch.

The director told the guests, "Today's task is to pick mushrooms on the mountain next door. The team that picks the most mushrooms, whichever are more valuable, will get more points!"
There are many wild animals in the mountains, and the mountain paths are winding and easy to get lost on. For everyone's safety, it's best if the three teams stick together and follow the route planned by the production team to pick mushrooms, and be back before dark.

When the director announced the tasks and rules, Jiang Nanxi was seen with her head down, playing on her phone.

"Jiang Nanxi".

The director called her name and reminded her, "Especially you, once you're in the mountains, you're not allowed to act on your own or do anything strange."

"Can you just stay with the others and not cause any extra trouble for the rescue team?"

Jiang Nanxi looked up at the director, opened her mouth as if to say that she didn't need the rescue team.

Before she could even open her mouth, the director, to prevent her from spouting any more nonsense, said directly, "Just answer 'yes' or 'no,' no other words allowed!"

Jiang Nanxi: "Or."

It's the last day of the trial period for my new book! I don't know if it will advance in the rankings, so please give me some votes! Could someone please give me a five-star review?
