Those who had nothing better to do stopped in their tracks, wishing to watch the subsequent developments. They also took photos and posted on their WeChat Moments: "Encountered a silly monk today. He wants to use that net to scoop up mermaids. I want to see if he manages to do it or gets sent to the mental institute."
…
Fangzheng ignored them, and he looked up at Shao Gang. "Patron Shao, is that your home?"
"No. It's all offices here. This is my office." Shao Gang shook his head.
Shao Chong said, "My brother has a tiny studio. That there is his studio."
Fangzheng said, "Patron, can This Penniless Monk visit it?"
"Oh? Master, aren't you going to scoop up mermaids?" Before Shao Gang could say a word, a store owner couldn't help but quip.
Everyone imagined Fangzheng would fume, but Fangzheng ended up looking at him seriously, smiling. "Later. There's no rush."
Pfft!
