"Dr. Zhou, is there anything else you need?"

"Coffee. Did you forget?"

"Okay, I'll get it for you..."

"You're not going to use that instant stuff to fool me, right? I at least want a hand-brewed cup."

"No problem! I have the tools here."

"Really?"

"See for yourself!"

"Alright, grind the coffee beans a bit coarser, and then I want to see your pouring technique."

"No problem, coming right up."

Zhou Mo Sen nailed Jessica Alba perfectly with that one line about fortune.

You can't blame our Jessica, though.

After all, it's been ten years since her debut, and she's still a little star.

Which girl in Hollywood doesn't have dreams of stardom?

Which girl doesn't want to become a dazzling big star?

No need to act so superior.

We're all pretty much the same.

Jessica Alba has been hustling for so many years, and when she heard that next year was critical,

it's just hand-brewed coffee for crying out loud!

No problem.

Zhou Mo Sen watched as Jessica Alba brought out a bunch of stuff; making this hand-brewed coffee really does require quite a bit.

Coffee beans, a grinder, filters, a pot or whatever...

It's truly satisfying.

The smile on Zhou Mo Sen's face was a bit mischievous.

But honestly, after all the preparations,

Jessica Alba, acting as a barista, really brewed a rather decent cup of coffee.

Actually, the process of hand-brewing coffee is quite fascinating.

When grinding the coffee beans, they produce a very strong aroma that fills the entire room.

It's rather refreshing.

And once you start pouring the water, the black coffee drips into the cup, drop by drop.

Everyone has to wait for that.

In that way, time seems to slow down.

Zhou Mo Sen wasn't really paying attention to this process; he was watching Jessica.

This girl was genuinely serious just now.

She was practically watching those drops fall.

Zhou Mo Sen was inexplicably captivated, perhaps because the scene was quite beautiful.

Who knows if it was the coffee that was nice to look at, or the person herself, or maybe it was Jessica's intense focus.

And when she lowered her head, she forgot that she was only wearing a hot, little camisole.

At home, she could wear whatever, but this... ω really was quite something to handle.

"Why aren't you drinking?"

Jessica curiously asked as she watched Zhou Mo Sen holding the coffee in a daze.

"Oh, I just wanted it to cool a little," Zhou Mo Sen made an excuse to cover it up.

Actually, he could have said he needed milk or sugar or something.

But he didn't think of it at the moment.

Jessica didn't think as much as Zhou Mo Sen did and was eagerly awaiting his feedback.

Zhou Mo Sen took a sip, and it was exactly how coffee should taste.

Some people find the bitterness unbearable,

but others find a fragrant bitterness.

So...

"Not bad."

"Aha!"

Even though the review was casual, Jessica was delighted.

The girl's face was all smiles. She was quite a bit younger than Zhou Mo Sen, and now she seemed even more like a little girl.

Zhou Mo Sen smiled seeing this, "Getting impatient?"

Of course!

"Hurry up, tell me what I should do next year?"

"If you wait till next year to work hard, it'll be too late. The reason I'm planning to help you is to tell you what to do now."

"Right, right! So... You, I..."

"Dummy! First, tell me what projects you have in hand now."

"Oh, right! Besides 'Beautiful Suffering,' my agent has got me a role in another crew called 'The Office.'

'The Office'?

Zhou Mo Sen hadn't heard of that, so it was simple.

"Turn it down!"

He decisively gave this advice.

Jessica's mouth opened slightly, "But this, this..."

"What's the matter?"

"I could earn a bit from it."

Clearly, the little star still cares about money.

Zhou Mo Sen's face turned serious, "If you have that mindset, I can't help you."

Implicitly, the Eastern mysticism won't help you either.

Jessica got anxious right away, "Then, then really..."

She was still a bit hesitant.

Zhou Mo Sen simply rolled his eyes, placing the coffee cup on the small table.

Seeing this, Jessica quickly caved.

"I'll listen, I'll listen to you."

Seeing this girl already hooked, Zhou Mo Sen felt like laughing inside.

But, he still picked up the coffee cup.

"If you want to follow my advice, you need to have some patience."

"Patience?"

"Yes, after 'Beautiful Suffering' is released, it should be just about right."

"This..."

Jessica still didn't get it.

But Zhou Mo Sen was already laughing inside.

Actually, thinking about it, Jessica Alba doesn't have a lot of signature works.

She never seemed to be at the pinnacle of Hollywood actresses.

However, there are two quite memorable films.

'Fantastic Four' and 'Sin City.'

These two movies seem to be from next year, and 'Sin City' comes out earlier.

In that movie, her role wasn't very big, she was supposedly the lead, but not really.

After all, 'Sin City' has a lot of Quentin's style.

Bloody violence, unbearably dark.

And speaking of stars, there's Bruce Willis, other actresses like Rosario Dawson and Devon Aoki.

Speaking of which, Devon Aoki is quite popular at the moment.

We Chinese probably can't understand why this girl is popular; her face is quite strange.

But over in Europe and America, they turned her into a 'beautiful Asian' concept star.

She's not even 1.6 meters tall, but not only acts in movies, she can model too.

Honestly, these European and American SOBs.

Later on, that piece by the Central Academy of Fine Arts student also seemed to cater to this aesthetic.

So now...

Zhou Mo Sen changed his tone and earnestly said to Jessica,

"Actually, this time staying with you, I know you helped me, so to show my gratitude, I did a divination before coming. This is what we call Eastern mystic power; don't ask too much, you won't understand.

You just need to know that you're about to meet a big director who will invite you to be in his movie.

Just seize the opportunity."

"A big director?"

Seeing Jessica's surprised expression, Zhou Mo Sen knew.

The girl was completely conned by him.

In other words, Zhou Mo Sen, this guy, was getting increasingly skilled at playing the mystic.

But...

"How long will you be staying with me?"

"Until I need to leave."

"What?"

"What's the matter? Just gave you a little taste, and now you want to kick me out?"

"No, no... I just..."

Jessica started blushing as she spoke, and Zhou Mo Sen was mentally dying of laughter.

...

A bar in Santa Monica.

Captain Hank had already been waiting for a long time.

"Hi."

"Dr. Zhou, you're finally here."

Zhou Mo Sen's appearance made Hank very happy.

Clearly, this captain needed Dr. Zhou's guidance.

Getting straight to the point.

"You should know by now, that Paddy guy is hard to be brought to justice."

Hearing this made Hank quite ashamed.

"Dr. Zhou, what should I do?"

At this moment, Hank had a lot of trust in Zhou Mo Sen.

Zhou Mo Sen laughed, "I really was attacked by Mexicans; that was indeed dangerous, but this matter... I can tell you that Paddy and the deputy director of Central Hospital, Carlos, are in cahoots.

If you can use this, then..."

What followed was a whisper to Hank.

This ferociously-looking DEA captain soon started smiling.

The smile indeed looked more painful than a cry, but at least it was genuine.
