Chapter 1420 Learn to Protect Yourself

As Xiao Peng and his group walked onto the red carpet and headed for the main entrance, a woman approached Xiao Peng and his group and said to him, "Hello, Mr. Xiao."

After saying that, she opened her arms and made a hugging gesture.

As Xiao Peng and his group walked onto the red carpet, they saw a woman standing in the middle of the carpet, striking various poses for the cameramen. Upon noticing Xiao Peng and his group, she frowned slightly with a look of disgust. Wasn't it said that someone would stop anyone who came later and allow them to walk the red carpet alone? Why was someone else here?

When someone approached from behind, the cameraman's lens turned to focus on the person behind her. Why did she ask someone to stop the person behind her? Wasn't it just to take more photos of her? How could someone steal the spotlight in such a short time?

But after hearing the host's introduction, her eyes began to wander to Billy: This is a prince, a typical French aristocrat! Something happening with this man would be a good choice. If she were with him, wouldn't she be the princess? Well, don't tell me, this Billy is quite handsome.

Surprisingly, Prince Beaugency was the first to be introduced. So what did the Cousteau brothers do? Why did it feel like photographers paid more attention to them than Prince Beaugency? Prince Beaugency didn't even have that many people taking pictures like this. Could it be that these two were even more influential than Prince Beaugency? What the hell was "La Ciotat Ocean Exploration Company"?

By the time the last person was introduced, the woman finally understood: This was the company of Xiao Peng, the "Salvage King"! It turned out that the Daxia man was Xiao Peng!

To use the words of agent Liu: 'This Miss Zhang is not a fool.' To be more precise, she is quite shrewd - especially when it comes to men.

Of course, she is able to get to where she is today because of capital, that is, various financial sponsors. Those financial sponsors are not willing to pay her for nothing. She has paid various prices to get to where she is today.

Those sponsors weren't fools; they were willing to pay for themselves just to get more. Having dealt with those sponsors for years, she was best at quickly finding the most advantageous opportunities for herself!

Of course she knew about Xiao Peng's deeds. It was hard not to know about his current popularity! Her mind raced: If she could use this opportunity to get Xiao Peng, that would be the best. Even if she couldn't, she could get closer to him. At the very least, getting some intimate scenes with Xiao Peng would be a great way to hype her up later!

After she made up her mind, she reached out to Xiao Peng for a hug. No man would refuse such a thing. At the very least, she could get some photos that could be used for publicity, right?

But Xiao Peng suddenly shook his head when she smiled and opened her arms: "I'm sorry, I don't know you."

After saying that, Miss Zhang dropped the smile that was frozen on her face and walked away from her directly, as if she didn't see this person.

All the photographers at the scene captured this scene, it was extremely embarrassing!

She wanted to make the headlines, she wanted to attract attention, but not in this way!

In fact, not to mention Miss Zhang, even Billy and the others didn't understand why Xiao Peng did this.

"Hey, Xiao, what's going on? Why did you move away when a beautiful woman greeted you?" Fabian asked in confusion.

Xiao Peng said, "I don't know her."

Everyone looked gloomy. Fabian complained, "What kind of answer is that? Haven't you hugged enough women you don't know?"

Xiao Peng coughed twice: "What nonsense are you talking about while guarding the child!"

"Oh, oh, oh." Fabian said, "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. Do whatever you like."

Pascal couldn't help but ask, "Xiao, why did that just now?"

When Xiao Peng heard Pascal's question, he replied, "The answer is: I don't know her."

"What kind of answer is that?" Pascal complained.

Xiao Peng explained, "Well, you might not know this, but there are some so-called 'carpet stars' in our country. The one just now was clearly one of them. And it's this kind of person that really bothers me."

"'Carpet Star'? What does that mean?" Billy came over and asked in confusion.

Xiao Peng explained: "It's just some so-called 'celebrity' who go wherever there's a red carpet, wear a low-cut dress with a cleavage, lift their skirt for a few steps on the red carpet, and then stand on it to pose in various ways for photos."

"Like that woman just now, spinning around?" Billy suddenly realized, "I see. She's doing this to take care of all the cameras around."

Xiao Peng nodded. "Yeah, you said they're celebrities, right? They don't have any works. That girl I just mentioned I didn't know—that's obviously one of them. How can such a 'red carpet star' become so popular? They rely on hype and online influencers. Hugging someone like that? Sorry, I feel sick!"

Fabian exclaimed, "Hey, Xiao, don't worry about whether she's a celebrity or not. She's definitely the dream lover of many losers! Be careful or you'll get scolded if you do this!"

Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "I hate it! If I can't even express my own preferences, why am I still working so hard? What's the point of living now? Look at these people, wearing thunder-like clothes and rubbing around here, just to get media coverage and promote themselves. This place is not bad. Every time there is a film festival, these 'carpet stars' are everywhere. It's disgusting to watch. If you don't believe me, I'll make a bet. If you have the chance, let's go to major film festivals and see. There will always be those Da Xia carpet stars who walk the red carpet for less than a minute and then take more than ten minutes to walk back and forth. They are like the 'carpet-fixing needles' that the security guards can't drive away. They wish they could live on them!"

Fabian slapped his forehead when he heard this. "I remember what you said. I saw something like this at the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival last year. I didn't understand what was going on then, but now I understand!"

Xiao Peng said disdainfully, "I'm risking my life in the Arctic, and you're going to the Cannes Film Festival?"

Fabian said, "It can't be helped. You know I'm also a director, right? My documentary is so popular that it's no surprise I won a small award. It's no surprise I was invited to the Cannes Film Festival."

Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "These film festival invitations have long been a business. Depending on the scale of the film festival, the fees range from a few thousand euros to tens of thousands of euros. Those red carpet stars paid the money to walk the red carpet, so how can they not walk the red carpet with all their might? There are now special companies specializing in this, responsible for sending those red carpet stars to walk the red carpets abroad, and then they are responsible for all kinds of photos and even hype. And now even the red carpet stars' level is getting lower and lower. They used to be able to dress beautifully, but now? The clothes are like they were bought from the zoo group. They are all exposed. Look at that one just now, the slit on the chest is open to her belly button! If I hugged her and she pulled her clothes, I would have no way to explain myself! Don't think they can't do it! So if you meet someone like this, it's better to stay away! Brothers, remember this, men must protect themselves! Understand?"
