There were countless comments and messages, mostly praising or inviting Elbert to perform, along with various fanatical fans wanting to meet him in person.
And this was just in half an hour!
"In the era of social media, the power of the internet is truly formidable!"
Elbert tossed his phone aside, having no interest in this path of entertainment.
What he constantly thought about was his increasingly entrepreneurial dream!
At this moment, a business plan was gradually taking shape in his mind!
On the fifth floor, in a luxurious bedroom.
Susan was getting angrier the more she thought about it.
'How did Elbert not fall into her trap?
'The damn surveillance camera failed at the critical moment!'
Feeling daunted, she told to marry.
"Mary, come with me to the second basement. The glass ball trap in the room must have caught Elbert. I want to go down and see his miserable state!"
"Mary? Did you hear me?"
She turned to see Mary lying on the bed, wearing headphones and intently watching an iPad.
On the screen was a back view of someone playing the piano.
"Mary, you little fangirl, what's so great about this cool video!"
"Susan, listen, this person's voice is so beautiful."
Mary was already entranced, her big, furry eyes faintly tearing up.
The moment Susan put on the headphones, she suddenly fell silent.
The singing in her ears was ethereal and light. It began like a mountain stream, then seemingly turned into a wisp of smoke, slowly floating to the mountain peak, and finally entered the vast and magnificent sea of clouds!
Not only was the singing heavenly, but the piano accompaniment was also absolutely top-notch!
Susan, being a music major and a webcaster, was utterly shocked by the singing, piano skills, and arrangement of the song, far surpassing any music work on the market!
"It’s so beautiful! I'm going crazy! Who is he?"
Mary also looked unable to stop. "I don't know, he's very mysterious. There's only this one video. His name is Paul, and he has 6 million followers now!
"I've decided. I've finally determined my life goal..."
Susan said, starting to cry, "I want to marry him! I must marry him!"
"No way, I found him first. You can't steal my husband. We are sisters!"
"What do you mean no way? I insist. I won't marry anyone but him!"
While on the other side, Elbert, who was deep in thought, felt a familiar rumbling in his stomach.
He was hungry again!
He looked at his phone. .It was already 10 PM.
"Looks like I can only find something to eat in the kitchen!"
Elbert jumped up and headed to the kitchen!
Just as Elbert opened the door.
Two sudden screams startled Elbert!
"Pepper attack!"
Fortunately, Elbert had extraordinary reflexes and dodged the spray like lightning!
"What are you doing?!"
Elbert frowned, staring at the two girls holding pepper spray, paralyzed with fear on the ground.
"Pervert!"
"What pervert? This is my room!" he said.
The two were Mary and Susan!
Even though Paul's singing was mesmerizing, they were still unwilling to accept their prank on Elbert failing.
Five minutes ago, they had sneaked up to Elbert's door with pepper spray.
Just as they were about to peek through the door crack, Elbert suddenly appeared!
"You..."
"Pervert!
"Elbert, I'm telling you, you can't stay in my house!!
"And you definitely can't flirt with Lori!
"I'm telling you, as long as we're here! Wait, where did he go?"
By the time the two girls came to their senses, Elbert had already walked far away, completely ignoring their unreasonable antics!
"Mary, let's follow him and see what he's up to!
"This pervert might be going to knock on our Lori's door!"
In the kitchen, the manor's chef, Elizabeth Wolf, smiled and nodded at Elbert. "Mr. Perry, what can I do for you?"
Elbert scratched his head and said, "I'm a bit hungry, could I..."
"Elizabeth, don't cook for this guy!"
The two girls arrived shortly after, shouting to the chef from a distance.
They were speechless; it turned out this glutton was hungry again!
They wouldn’t give him a chance to eat.
Seeing Elizabeth's troubled expression, Elbert shook his head helplessly. "Never mind. I'll do it myself."
Suddenly, a voice came through his mind.
Robert said, " Get ready! Michelin 3-star chef skills subconscious integration complete!"
“Alright then, thanks a lot.”
Elbert smiled slightly.
He took off his coat and walked into the kitchen.
"He's going to cook for himself?"
"At his age, there's no way he knows how to cook. He probably just learned some simple cooking skills from the internet."
"Mary, let's watch. When he turns the meal into a disaster, let's see how he handles it!
"And then..."
Susan whispered in Mary's ear, "We'll add many spicy peppers to his food, that'll piss him off!"
"Deal!"
Seeing the two girls with mischievous grins, Elbert felt helpless once again.
Stretching his muscles, Elbert put on an apron and slowly rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt.
After scanning the kitchen ingredients, Elbert decided on the dish he would make.
He rinsed the rice three times, put it in the rice cooker, and before turning it on, he added a drop of vegetable oil!
Then, he chopped fresh vegetables, beat some eggs, and finely chopped some celery.
"Is he making fried rice?"
The two girls were stunned again.
A spotless white shirt, a delicate apron, and skillful techniques...
‘Who said that a man who cooks seriously is the most handsome?’
‘They were absolutely right!’
Susan was almost fasinated by his appearance and cooking skills.
"Wow, he looks pretty good doing this, but after all that, he's just making fried rice?"
"And why is he adding celery to fried rice? He's just messing around!"
Mary suddenly remembered that the man in front of her was her arch-nemesis, Elbert, and immediately spoke with disdain!
When the fragrant rice was done cooking.
Elbert carefully spread the rice on a baking tray and put it in the oven, setting the timer for 4 minutes!
"What is he doing? That's not the procedure we saw online, did he truly know how to cook?"
The two girls were completely puzzled!
When the rice came out of the oven, the surface moisture had evaporated, and each grain was separate, emitting a faint aroma.
Just the delicate colors and clearly separated rice grains made them hungry!
Then, Elbert started stir-frying the rice!
Egg liquid, green onions, and celery were added separately.
Flames danced as Elbert performed fancy pan flips!
The two girls were stunned; this was too cool; it was practically a performance!
The dish was finished!
The two girls immediately leaned in.
"It smelled amazing!" they exclaimed.
A plate of golden-colored fried rice with green onions and celery as garnish looked incredibly appetizing.
"Why is the rice golden?"
"Where are the eggs?"
Susan was confused.
Like Susan, Mary had never tasted cheap fried rice. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "None of those matters; I really want to try it!"
