Quincy Zimmerman couldn’t help but feel a jolt in his heart when he heard her sudden remark.
Recently, preparations for reality shows like "Inspiration" had been especially sensitive, and being suddenly handed a talisman would make anyone subconsciously feel uneasy.
Donovan Jennings and Juno Wilder also instinctively looked at Scarlett Jennings.
Donovan wore an expression of pride, as if watching his own child taking action again.
Juno, on the other hand, was curious.
Finally, Quincy Zimmerman couldn’t resist speaking up, "Is there any significance to this?"
He knew that this eldest daughter of the Jennings Family was about to attend the Taoism Academy, but he wasn’t sure if she had any real skills.
Ultimately, his agreement to do this show with Director Clark was more for the sensationalism.
Scarlett Jennings slowly shook her head, her almond eyes lightly gazing at him,
"It’s just that your luck has been low lately, it’s for protection."
People with low fortunes have weak positive energy, and if they go to places heavy with shadow energy, they’re more prone to encounters with ghosts.
Especially since the show he was planning involved such themes.
Quincy Zimmerman looked at Scarlett Jennings, unable to tell if she had truly discerned something or was just making a show of learning, but he couldn’t possibly disrespect the young lady from the Jennings Family.
So he received it sincerely and happily, and right in front of her, placed it on his person.
Juno Wilder wasn’t surprised at Quincy Zimmerman’s way of handling things, but waited until he left before smiling at Scarlett Jennings,
"Since it’s a meeting gift, do I get one too?"
Scarlett Jennings looked at her with a serious face and shook her head, "You don’t need one."
Juno couldn’t help but smile even wider.
Sometimes, getting such a meeting gift could be more troubling than not getting one.
Scarlett Jennings said she didn’t need one, which meant everything seemed fine for her.
Whether or not she had real skills, Juno Wilder was pleased to hear such words.
At that moment, she also felt that this eldest daughter of the Jennings Family was rather interesting.
If she weren’t currently not recruiting new talents, she would have genuinely wanted to sign the young lady in front of her.
Meanwhile,
After bidding farewell to Scarlett Jennings, Quincy Zimmerman also received word from Director Clark to conduct an on-site survey of the location selected for "Inspiration" the next day.
The thought of what Scarlett Jennings had just said about the "shadow energy-heavy place" instinctively made Quincy averse. Excuses came readily to his lips,
"Tomorrow... I might not feel well."
Director Clark on the phone: ...
"Do you think your excuse is even remotely reasonable?"
You can already predict you won’t feel well tomorrow?
Are you possibly a female?
Even elementary school students wouldn’t use such a clumsy excuse for leave.
Quincy Zimmerman knew his friend’s temper and realized he couldn’t avoid it, so he merely chuckled, saying he was just joking before.
"I’ll go, I’ll definitely go tomorrow!"
Even though he felt a bit uneasy, Quincy knew it was work and couldn’t just leave it because he felt uncomfortable inside.
Even if he didn’t go tomorrow, as long as he was responsible for this show, he couldn’t escape visiting the site later.
So he resolved to go.
Who’s afraid of whom?
With this resolution, Quincy Zimmerman indeed went with the production team for the site survey the next day.
