Chapter 1341: Too many shortcomings, no way to start

William rode on his horse with a helpless look on his face: "Xiao, can't you change your tactics? Whoever provokes you is put on the fire and roasted. Who can bear it?"

Xiao Peng rode alongside William on horseback and said, "William, can you blame me for this? This old comrade is too much. He ran over and threatened to commit suicide! Who could handle that? You're not without a boat, so how would you feel about being at sea for half a month? That old comrade is over seventy years old! Do I need to arrange for a doctor and a maid for him? Does he need to take on a few students? What equipment should I prepare?"

William hurriedly said, "Not really. Xiao, you have to understand these scholars. This is how much they value our country's history."

"Why should I understand?" Xiao Peng asked in confusion. "Someone is threatening to commit suicide at my doorstep, and I should understand? Who will understand me? William, don't you say you don't know that so many scholars are queuing at my door? Are you taking me for a fool?"

William sighed and said, "I did hope that a scholar from our country would discover our country's history, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing."

Xiao Peng pointed at his nose and said, "Have you ever thought that I might quit?"

William smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao, the supplies on your ship are almost gone. Why don't you do it?"

"Of course!" Xiao Peng said directly, "There are so many shipwrecks in the sea. Wouldn't it be better for me to salvage what I can find? I've already decided. Since I have supplies, I won't waste them. I plan to go back to the Mediterranean for a stroll!"

"Go to the Mediterranean? What for?" William asked in surprise.

"I made my fortune there. I might find something there if I go back." Xiao Peng said, "I told you, now that we have supplies, let's go somewhere to have some fun."

William said helplessly, "Xiao, please stop making such a fuss. Professor van Rossum is a highly respected professor, and now he has angry Dutch people blocking his door and throwing tomatoes at him every day. Are you trying to kill him?"

"Hey!" Xiao Peng said anxiously, "William, please stop insulting the word 'highly respected', okay? A highly respected old professor is acting like a scoundrel in my place? He blocked my door and tried to commit suicide, and I need to understand him, but he couldn't stand it when someone threw a few tomatoes at him? I didn't go to his door to cause trouble, did I?"

William said, “I’d rather you go to his door and make trouble.”

"As a well-educated person, I would never do such a despicable thing!" Xiao Peng said.

William sighed and said, "I can no longer face the word 'quality'. Xiao, let's stop making trouble, okay? We still have to deal with the Barents issue."

"Hey! William! You make it sound so easy!" Xiao Peng said, "How much manpower, material resources, and time does it take for me to do this? I did it just to keep my promise and to do something for the Netherlands. In our country, foreigners like me would be praised like Norman Bethune! But here? Anyone dares to step on me!"

"Who stepped on you!" William retorted.

Xiao Peng curled his lips at William: "Who dares? Everyone dares! How many things happened to me in Villa Eikenhorst? I thought I would be fine after running away to a small place, but I didn't expect that there would still be troubles here!"

William said: "That only means that you are attracting too much attention!"

"You follow me and come to trouble me?" Xiao Peng was very disdainful of William's statement.

William advised: "Xiao, what will it take for you to go and look for the Barents shipwreck?"

Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "You asked me to go and find you? How embarrassing would that be? A real man means what he says. If I say I won't go, then I won't go! A man should keep his word!"

William wanted to talk to Xiao Peng, but Xiao Peng patted the horse's butt to speed up.

"Damn it!" William cursed directly. He really had no idea what to do when he met someone like Xiao Peng!

It is said that people are easier to control if they have shortcomings, but this is not quite true when applied to Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng is full of shortcomings. He is greedy, lustful, selfish and loves to play. But this guy has so many shortcomings that he doesn't know where to start.

You say he's lustful? It's true, he's never short of women wherever he goes, but he's also known for being heartless! Look at all those women he brought back from Belarus, dumped them at the university, and then just left them there. As heartless as it gets!

You say he's greedy? He wouldn't have made so much money if he weren't greedy. He just piles everything he has into his museum. But he has so many good things that he doesn't care about ordinary things. The Eichenhorst Villa is a gift, so it's a gift!

But what does Xiao Peng like? Sorry, William can't think of it at all.

You say he's selfish? He's definitely selfish. He'll punish anyone who crosses him! And he'll resort to all sorts of self-defeating tactics. He dissolved his company over a disagreement, and now he's stopped something important to the Dutch people. William only mentioned how many people went to Van Rossum's house to protest, not how many Dutch people were cursing Xiao Peng, saying he was playing with the Dutch people's feelings. But knowing Xiao Peng, he wouldn't care even if he knew—can ants see elephants, but can elephants see ants?

You say he loves to play? He does, but he only plays what he wants to play! And no matter what he plays, he'll stop after a while! He's either partying all day, playing games all day, reading all day, and now he's riding horses all day... No one knows what he'll do next!

In the end, William came to the conclusion that Xiao Peng only loved himself. There was really no way to deal with such a person!

Seeing Xiao Peng riding away, William hurriedly spurred his horse to catch up, but just as he caught up with Xiao Peng, the latter stopped his horse.

It turned out to be Khedira who came over: "Boss, when do we leave?"

Xiao Peng said directly to Khedira: "I can change my clothes anytime! William, this is not the first time you come to my house. I told Alfred to take good care of you. I'm going to go out for a while."

William was stunned: “Where are you going?”

Xiao Peng replied, "To Amsterdam."

"What are you going to Amsterdam for?" William asked puzzledly.

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Of course I'm going to enjoy life! Now that I have so much vacation time, I want to relax!"

"Go to Amsterdam to relax?" William's eyes widened: "You think you don't have enough women?

Xiao Peng's face was filled with annoyance. "William, you're the King of the Netherlands! Is this the image of Amsterdam in your eyes? I came to watch the game!"

"Watching the game? Are you a fan? There is no Ajax game today!" William asked puzzledly.

Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Who says Amsterdam is only about football? There are other ball sports too! Khedira, go get the new car ready. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes before leaving. William, just treat this place like your home and do as you please!"
