Song An said, "Then should I go wake them all up?"
He meant the staff members who were seizing the chance to sleep.
Qi Gu motioned with his eyes for Song An to look at Miao Yue. "Those two just went to the graveyard. There were quite a few water corpses there. They were briefly brought under control earlier, but they should be moving again by now."
What he meant was that there would be too many people, making things inconvenient.
Song An said, "...True."
As the task grew less easy than it had seemed at first, Song An increasingly felt that he, the director, had become a dispensable decoration.
He also knew full well that Qi Gu was single-handedly carrying Investigating the Strange. Without him, the show would have ended up on a legal affairs program in its very first episode.
"Then... I'll give you a raise. Double your appearance fee," Song An said.
Qi Gu's eyes immediately curved slightly, and he nodded in satisfaction. The same work, with a raise-and on top of his appearance fee here, the Anomalous Affairs Bureau paid him a monthly salary. This was simply paradise.
If he were not such a slacker, he really would have asked the director not to leave any time between episodes, preferably moving seamlessly from one to the next.
[Gugu suddenly looks so happy, so cute.]
[If your boss told you in the middle of the night that your monthly salary would double tomorrow, you'd be happy too.]
[That makes a lot of sense ()]
[Wake up. We're not rare specialists like Gugu. We're just expendable resources, an inexhaustible supply, and you want a raise?]
[Hey, person above, what did I ever do to you? Why would you say that!]
[Who got called out? Oh, it was me.
