It was an extremely flashy and lively business card.
On the left side near the edge, a thin Azure Dragon was drawn, and on the right side near the edge was a White Tiger descending a mountain.
The top edge featured a Vermilion Sparrow with wings spread ready to fly, and the bottom edge showed a dark tortoise carrying two names: "Great Heavenly Master: Nick Zeller, Heavenly Master: Lawrence Winters."
The center blank space had six characters in seal script: "Great Heavenly Master Office."
Ian Lothrop stared at the card for a while and then laughed heartily, "Interesting, interesting! This girl has guts! Such a card can also be brought before me!"
Lawrence Winters: "..."
She was somewhat surprised, "...Just a card delivery? How much courage does that need? Besides, my card is very precious; I don’t give it to just anyone. You better keep it safe!"
Francis Johnson also smiled knowingly, truly ignorance is fearless, he respected this girl as a tough cookie!
Kenneth Osborne just wanted to facepalm, but at such times, he was more reluctant to see Lawrence Winters being hurt because he knew in her heart, her Uncle Nick Zeller and their "family business" held great importance.
"...Nora’s uncle is indeed the Great Heavenly Master Nick Zeller on the card, and he is quite skilled, helping real estate bosses in our area with Feng Shui, quite famous." Kenneth Osborne braced himself while casting a calming look at Lawrence Winters.
Lawrence Winters was ecstatic to hear Kenneth Osborne praise her uncle, nodding continuously, "That’s right, my uncle is really awesome! For instance, earlier I could only see that Mr. Lothrop’s misfortune, but if it were my uncle, he would immediately offer a solution! ——Much better than me!"
Ian Lothrop nodded and said, "Alright, you heard little Francis say that I am a tech guy, focusing on verifiable results. Though you were accurate earlier, it might just as well have been dumb luck."
He toyed with the card Lawrence Winters gave him and said, "I’ll give you another chance to prove your skill at reading faces and predicting fortunes."
Lawrence Winters: "..."
She gently coughed and said with a soft smile, "Forgive me, but I must refuse."
Francis Johnson: "!!!"
He respected this little girl even more! Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
A real warrior dares to face Ian Lothrop’s sharp tongue!
Kenneth Osborne momentarily went blank, instinctively wanting to protect her, changing the topic, "How about we order food first?"
Ian Lothrop glared at him, "Always thinking about food, are you a bottomless pit?! Is all your IQ in your looks?! ——No matter how good-looking you are, it’s useless to me!"
Kenneth Osborne: "..."
I, along with my IQ and my looks, thank you!
Lawrence Winters pursed her lips into a light laugh, tugged on Kenneth Osborne’s arm beneath the table, and whispered, "Don’t say anything, let me handle this."
Kenneth Osborne: "..."
Despite feeling a bit awkward, the feeling of being shielded by Nora was genuinely great!
Francis Johnson felt the tension was too intense, stood up and said to Kenneth Osborne, "Let’s go check out what special dishes they have here and order some, shall we?"
Kenneth Osborne was still a bit uneasy about leaving Lawrence Winters alone with Ian Lothrop.
Yet Francis Johnson gave him a meaningful look, urging him to go quickly.
Kenneth Osborne reluctantly said to Lawrence Winters, "I’m going out with Mr. Johnson to order food, you alright here on your own?"
"What problem? This girl suits my taste, you don’t, so hurry up and leave! I’ll let you know when you can come back!" Ian Lothrop rolled his eyes and waved them away impatiently.
Lawrence Winters winked at Kenneth Osborne with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’ve seen more difficult people."
Ian "Difficult" Lothrop: Big courage, daring to call him difficult?!
After Francis Johnson and Kenneth Osborne went out, Ian Lothrop rolled up his sleeves and crossed his arms, asking Lawrence Winters, "Why did you refuse me?"
Lawrence Winters sat casually, with a calm demeanor and said with a smile, "Reading faces and predicting fortunes can’t be used as experiments."
"Just like you doing tech work, when you need a breakthrough, you need inspiration."
"We also need inspiration, and it’s not always going to appear. Forcing face-reading and fortune-predicting won’t yield high accuracy."
Ian Lothrop tilted his head and thought it over, finding some sense in it, so he asked, "Then where did your inspiration come from earlier? When you saw me and said I had misfortune?"
Lawrence Winters thought for a moment, "At that moment I didn’t know what happened. As soon as I saw you, the face-reading knowledge I learned before naturally surfaced in my mind, so I spoke."
"Didn’t expect such a quick validation."
Ian Lothrop was not quite satisfied with this explanation, murmuring, "Even if using chaotic mathematics to calculate, it needs a stable initial point. This kind of intersection between two completely unfamiliar individuals has too many variables; without a stable initial point, even using a quantum computer, it can’t exhaust such possibilities."
