Chapter 1119: It's just a pretense

The Netherlands was plagued by the "Dutch disease" back then, but things started to change after Ruud Lubbers became prime minister.

He saved the Netherlands by adjusting the wage structure, eliminating unearned gains, which later became known as the "Dutch Miracle." The Netherlands became a rare country in Europe that adhered to the principle that "labor is the most glorious."

While people in other countries are still thinking about being lazy and enjoying welfare, here you will be looked down upon if you don't work.

In Europe, you can see a lot of homeless people and beggars in almost every country except Belarus, and many of them are young people. There are also such people in the Netherlands, but compared to other European countries, there are far fewer!

Xiao Peng attracted attention the moment he entered the gallery, but it wasn't the employees who noticed him: William had already given them instructions: Xiao Peng didn't like being disturbed or watched; everyone should just ignore him. So, the employees, familiar with Xiao Peng's appearance through his photos, pretended not to see him. Aside from a waiter who approached Xiao Peng with champagne and offered him a glass, no one bothered him.

A group of girls were paying attention to him.

In any gallery on this planet, there are girls with ulterior motives. In fact, it is an unwritten secret: those places such as galleries and art exhibitions are often where girls with ulterior motives come to look for prey - of course, there are also some men with the same purpose.

After all, most people who come to such places are well-off and well-educated, and there are also wealthy men and women. These people are the "prey" of those gold-worshiping men and women.

Art exhibitions and galleries welcome these young men and women. After all, they are often attractive, which helps attract young people and boosts their popularity. Sometimes, organizers even invite so-called "internet celebrities" to attend. As for the true identities of these "internet celebrities," it's a matter of course—they know it all.

As soon as Xiao Peng entered here, he was noticed by a group of women.

"Tsk tsk, this guy is really good at acting." said a girl in a blue silk evening gown.

Another girl nearby said, "The suit is nice; it looks custom-made, but the other details are awful! Didn't you see? He actually arrived in a BMW!"

"That's right!" another girl said, "The biggest flaw is that he came in a BMW! People who drive BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes are all extremely stingy!"

"Then what kind of car does a generous person drive?" A girl asked in confusion after hearing this.

"Need I ask? Of course it's the TSL!" A girl holding a bottle of champagne answered after hearing this: "People who buy those cars are both wealthy and like to show off. So they're very generous with their money. Finding a rich guy with a TSL means you've found a valuable bank card. Okay, don't look at that guy. He's probably here to pick up rich women. I didn't expect there would be Asians here to pick up rich women now. He wants to see if the rich women here are interested in trying something new."

One of the girls, who had an oriental face, looked disgusted after hearing this. She raised her little finger and said, "Try oriental men? They'll be disappointed... Oriental men's penises are all like this! I've experienced it too much!"

"Have you ever experienced Oriental men?" a girl next to her looked surprised.

The girl said, "Isn't that strange? There are so many wealthy people in the East these days. And they also like us blonde girls who are not stingy with our money. You should all get to know us."

"There's no problem in contacting them, but I'm just afraid they won't be able to satisfy me."

"Then why don't you find a few more people to come along? That should be fine, right?"

"Hey, that's a good idea! I'll try it next time!"

Several girls laughed together, but the noise was a bit loud and attracted attention in the quiet gallery, so they quickly put away their smiles. At this time, they had to act elegantly.

The girl holding the champagne glass glanced at Xiao Peng and sighed, "This guy is obviously a virgin. He's just here to put on an act. I can see through countless flaws in a guy like him at a glance."

"How did you tell that? Tell me, so I don't make the same mistake!" a girl asked curiously. "When he first came in, I was really attracted to him. I thought he was some rich kid. I don't see anything wrong with him!"

The girl holding the champagne flute took a sip to moisten her throat and said, "Too many. He's full of flaws in my eyes. First of all, you saw that after he came in, he didn't even look at the artwork here. This shows that he has no interest in the art here."

"Really? I didn't even notice until you told me!"

"But he didn't pay attention to us!"

"Maybe he's interested in men!"

"You mean he's gay?"

"It must be, otherwise why wouldn't he be looking at us?"

"Yeah, those who don't look at us are all bent!"

The girl with the champagne glass smiled and said, "Also, you only noticed that his suit fit him perfectly, but didn't you notice his watch? A red diving watch? It doesn't match his suit at all. How could such a sophisticated man make such a mistake?"

"Am I the only one who thinks that watch is beautiful?"

"That's why I say you're still too inexperienced!" the girl with the champagne glass said proudly. "If you want to find a rich man, you should first understand men's luxury goods. You can tell whether a man is truly wealthy by looking at those details. Diving watches may look nice, but only brands like Rolex, Omega, and Longines can command a high price. And those brands don't have anything this fancy! Contrasting black and red? It's obviously a cheap brand!"

"Oh!" Several girls suddenly realized after hearing this.

The girl holding the champagne glass sighed, "You're too naive. The cocktail party is serving Boerkov champagne today, which costs almost two thousand euros a bottle. Who wouldn't sip it slowly? How could he drink it like a beverage? And the bolo tie around his neck has a huge blue gem in the middle. It looks like it matches his clothes, but look at that huge blue gem and the white metal edging it. First of all, the brightness of the white metal tells you it's not silver. I even suspect it's stainless steel. As for the blue gem, it's even more outrageous! A sapphire that big? He thought it was the Heart of the Ocean from the Titanic!"

A girl nearby asked, "Is he using Patchouli or Tanzanite?"

"I suspected it was synthetic sapphire or even plastic!" The girl with the champagne glass said, her eyes suddenly lighting up. "My target has appeared!"

"Your goal?"
