"I'LL send the design to your e-mail. I can also send the jade materials and carving equipment to the Hillside Spa Hotel today. How about it, Maria? Can you please help your master?"

The corners of Maria's mouth twitched when she heard the Latter part of his sentence.

“Master? I don't remember agreeing to become your disciple yet."

“Ha-ha!" Vincent laughed slyly and diverted the topic.

“Maria, my eightieth birthday is coming up soon too. What gift are you thinking of giving me? You know I'm not the kind of person who asks for too much. How about you publicly agree to become my disciple? It'll be the best gift you can give me

Maria was speechless. This old man was indeed shameless and cunning.

But since it was Vincent's eightieth birthday, she was worried that she might not be able to refuse him.

Before Maria could answer, Vincent added, “Are you thinking of refusing me? I*LL go ask Anthony for help if you do! After all, the two of us are family already. Since you and he are considered family now, he and I are also family now. I am close friends with his Grandpa. And because of that, I can easily ask him to let his wife become my disciple. That way, you can't refuse. Besides, my request isn't too hard to begin with!"

Maria could only shake her head. How could an old man still act like a Little rascal sometimes?

"Fine. I'm agreeing to help you make Michael's birthday gift on your behalf."

“What about your gift to become my disciple?"

Maria didn't answer it directly but diverted the topic instead.

“Why do need me to become your formal disciple? You already have a nominal disciple, right? Why don't you make him your formal disciple?"

Hearing this, Vincent was confused.

“A nominal disciple? What are you talking about? Why would I agree to have a nominal disciple?"

Maria furrowed her brows and explained, “You don’t remember a man named Foley Todd? He's the one who snatched my phone earlier. He was so proud, saying that he is your nominal disciple."

After that, Maria briefly recounted what had happened in the classroom before Vincent called.

Hearing everything, Vincent got furious.

“Bullshit! That guy is from the Artists Association, right? Of course, I remember him. But he isn't my nominal disciple! He came to me twenty years ago, but I politely refused his request to become my disciple. I did give him some advice out of courteousness, but that was it! In fact, Foley doesn't have much talent. How dare he mislead the public by associating my name with him?! You know what? Just wait a minute. I'LL post something on Twitter to clear up this misunderstanding. It'll also help you vent your anger!"

Maria wasn't able to react right away. She didn't expect that an old man like him was still so trendy that he had an active Twitter account.
