Nick Zeller glared at her, "What are you talking about? How does becoming my hardcore fan make you dirty? — You should be proud!"
Saying this, he started the car and returned to their luxurious apartment at Temple Court Residential Area in River City, amidst his banter with Lawrence Winters.
This residential area is the most luxurious and famous in the entire River City. In a district where the average wage is only two to three thousand yuan, the housing price has exceeded fifteen thousand yuan per square meter.
However, Lawrence's family bought it early, and at that time, the unit price of a five-room, three-hall duplex apartment was only three thousand yuan per square meter.
His house covers an area of more than three hundred square meters, and it is definitely a mansion. Moreover, it is located in the city center in the best-greened district, a tranquil spot amidst the hustle and bustle.
Not to mention the wealthy and influential people of the entire River City, even those from the capital of Central South Province who are well off, would buy an apartment here to keep.
Because this is the feng shui treasure land of the Great Heavenly Master Zeller's "iron mouth exactly decisive," where people not only prosper but also gather wealth and avoid disaster.
Brooke Osborne and Kenneth Osborne's family are also in this residential area.
However, their home is not like Lawrence's family's top-floor duplex luxury apartment, but a standard three-bedroom, one-living room with two bathrooms, more common household.
Of course, both families still live in the same unit.
Returning home is definitely on the way.
Nick soon drove the car into the underground parking lot of the residential area, and together with Lawrence Winters, Brooke Osborne, and Kenneth Osborne, they took the elevator directly up.
Brooke and Kenneth's home is in Building A, Room 208 on the 10th floor, Nick and Lawrence's home is in Building A, Room 108 on the 18th floor.
The top floor of this building's duplex mansion has only one elevator per household.
Below that, the floors range from five households per elevator, to three households per elevator, to two households per elevator, varying accordingly.
The elevator reached Brooke and Kenneth's floor first.
The siblings politely thanked Nick Zeller and Lawrence Winters and then walked out of the elevator door.
Brooke was not in a good mood and had been trying to keep it together the whole way.
It was only after saving that father and daughter pair on the way that her attention was somewhat diverted.
But now it's obvious that her mood was down again.
Lawrence Winters didn't say much, just hoping that this year, they could still celebrate the New Year well.
No matter what happens, it should wait until after the New Year.
As Kenneth Osborne stepped out of the elevator, as if remembering something, he suddenly turned around, extended his long leg to block the elevator door, and said to Lawrence Winters, "Nora, did you take this year's final exams?"
Lawrence Winters: "!!!"
This was really hitting where it hurts, her teeth even began to ache.
Ducking her head slightly, not daring to look Kenneth in the eye, she murmured, "... Been quite busy lately..."
"So you didn't take them?" Kenneth slightly frowned, glanced at Nick Zeller, and said to Lawrence, "It's too late today. I'm free tomorrow, I'll tutor you. — It's settled."
With that, he turned and left, completely giving Lawrence no chance to argue.
Lawrence suddenly raised her head, extended a stop hand, almost shouting, "... I don't! Don't go!"
But the elevator door already closed slowly before her, leaving only the elegant figure of Kenneth etched in her retina.
The elevator door had already closed, but Lawrence's "stop hand" was still hanging in the air, unable to lower.
Nick snorted, leaning against the elevator wall with his arms crossed, leisurely said, "You're done for. Today you upset me, and also provoked Kenneth, and later your mom will give you another lecture. — I see you as the Monkey King, skinning off today is inevitable."
At this moment, Lawrence realized Nick was her only "savior" and "hope", hurriedly tugged his sleeve, pitifully said, "Uncle, you can't just watch me die! — I absolutely don't want Kenneth tutoring me!"
"Hmph! Too late, he's already mad." Nick held his head high, looked at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, "... So, am I still dirty as a hardcore fan or not?"
"Not dirty, not dirty! Absolutely not dirty!" Lawrence grinned pleasingly, mimicking the servant girl style in ancient costume dramas, dusting off Nick's clothes, and bowed, "Great Heavenly Master's benevolence and skills, a model for our generation. — I beg the Great Heavenly Master to help me through this difficult time!"
"Enough already, such poor conduct!" Nick didn't even glance at her, as the elevator reached the eighteenth floor, he strode out, took out his phone to unlock the door, saying, "We'll see how you behave."
Casually opened Weibo and looked, besides Lawrence, there were also many other fans asking for attention under his Weibo.
He clicked on a few randomly, and checked private messages, there were no urgent requests, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The door opened, he changed his shoes at the entrance and clicked the Zhihu app on his phone again.
He also has his account on Zhihu as a "moderately known contributor", under the same username "New Era Heavenly Master".
As he opened it, he saw many private message links inviting him to answer questions quietly lying in his Zhihu inbox.
A "knowledgeable demeanor" naturally appeared on his face, belonging to a "contributor".
Contentedly sat on the couch, like a lazy emperor waiting for his favored concubine's visit, he reviewed all the questions inviting him to answer.
None were particularly interesting, could completely be ignored.
But just as he was about to close the app, a new invitation popped up: [Bird on Auspicious Sight invites you to answer a question].
Although Nick Zeller's accounts on Weibo and Zhihu are verified, he lists his city as "abroad", and he doesn't use these online accounts to solicit business.
So unless someone is particularly familiar, they wouldn't know he's the Great Heavenly Master Zeller in River City.
But the question creator's location appears to be in River City.
With hundreds of millions of netizens, how often do you encounter someone from the "same city"?
Very well, you've piqued this Heavenly Master's interest.
Nick Zeller straightened up slightly and clicked in to take a look.
The person's question was as follows:
Bird on Auspicious Sight: [Does anyone know which day is suitable for a divorce after New Year? The asker belongs to the rat zodiac, fire rat. Same zodiac as wife. Hope it's the kind of divorce where the other leaves without any assets].
He had just posted this question.
But it seems pretty popular.
As soon as it was posted, many unsolicited answers appeared below it.
Person Fire: [Shouldn't the asker look for a lawyer?].
Craden University Lecturer: [Asker, pay me all the money, your wife will definitely leave with nothing].
Sister Leo: [Asker are you cheating or being cheated on? Different situations correspond to different favorable days!].
However, it's also apparent that such a question is infuriating, but this person still dares to post it, what does it show?
It shows he's brazen, doesn't take his wife seriously at all.
Nick Zeller stared at the questioner named "Bird on Auspicious Sight" for a while, and slowly typed a line of words.
New Era Heavenly Master: [Thanks for the invitation, I'm in California, just got off the plane].
[The asker's Zhihu name 'Bird on Auspicious Sight'. A bird with a sight is the word Quinn, born of an auspicious sight implies nobility].
[Is your real name Gregory Quinn?].
[Every cause has its effect, your karma is me].
