Chapter 1438: Being strong is the real strength

When Xiao Peng arrived at the gate of the Navy House, the reporters had not yet dispersed. When they saw them leaving, they surrounded him and asked to interview him.

"Mr. Xiao, did you return to France from the Netherlands specifically to attend Shangmei's new product launch?"

"Why did you leave early?"

"Can we schedule an interview with you? Which hotel are you staying at? I can interview you myself tonight."

“…”

Bruch was so exhausted trying to stop so many people by himself.

Xiao Peng sighed: "Ah, Shangmei? It's better not to come!"

"What on earth happened?"

"It seems like you were treated unfairly in there? Can you tell me what happened?"

At this moment, a stretched Lincoln drove up. This was the car Billy had rented, and they had come in this car. Kasin got out of the passenger seat and helped Bruch clear a path. Xiao Peng and the others then got in the car and left, escaping the encirclement.

"Where have you been?" Bruch complained to Kasin, "Are you going to tire me to death?"

Kasin hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"

Xiao Peng said calmly, "Kaxin, before you make up a story, take care of the lipstick marks on your collar."

Kaxin was stunned after hearing this, then he laughed: "Boss, you are lying to me!"

At this time, Ilka handed Kasim a makeup mirror. Kasim took the mirror and looked at it in confusion. There was indeed a big lipstick mark on his collar.

"Damn it!" Kasim stretched out his hand to wipe off the lipstick mark, but the lipstick mark became bigger and bigger.

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Alright, no one will say anything to you. Go buy Bruch a drink later. Look how tired you made him just now."

"Idol, where are we going now?" Billy asked.

Xiao Peng said, "Let's go back to the yacht dock. I've never been on a night cruise on the Seine before."

Billy said, "Going on a boat? Swan has always dreamed of going on the Luna."

Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Billy, tell Swan that he has no chance of going to the Luna. Even if we are friends, there are some things we can't do!"

Camille Thomas on the side asked puzzledly: "Why is this?"

Felix quickly poked Camille: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Can Xiao Peng let Swan board the 'Luna'?

Even if he could accept Marlene marrying someone else, how could he accept Marlene having sex with someone else in her own home?

Camille Thomas realized she had asked the wrong question and hurriedly asked, "Are we going to the Luna now? That ridiculously luxurious ship? Can I get on it?"

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated. Aren't you on your way to the ship now?"

Felix said to Camille Thomas, "Camille, you might not believe this, but my master's ship is incredibly luxurious! It's such a large ship, but there are only eighteen rooms, and each one is more luxurious than a presidential suite in a five-star hotel..."

Xiao Peng pointed at Felix and interrupted him: "If you stay on the boat tonight, you are not allowed to share a room with Camille!"

"Why?" Felix protested.

"Because I won't allow it!" Xiao Peng said, "You little brat, do you believe I'll hang you on the mast all night?"

Felix blinked. "Master, if you do that, I'll sue you in court."

"Hey! Have you grown up? Billy, ask the driver to stop the car and throw him out!" Xiao Peng said.

Felix hurriedly said, "Master, I was just kidding you! But I'm a grown-up now, why are you still treating me like a child?"

Xiao Peng said with disdain: "You can't even sign the PSCS agreement, how can you say you've grown up? Wait until you have the ability to sign the PSCS."

After hearing this, Phoenix murmured, "Then just wait another year!"

Xiao Peng turned to Yelena and asked, "Nuo, you've all witnessed a so-called upper-class cocktail party today. What are your thoughts?"

Jelena said directly: "It's meaningless!"

Ilka said, "After we went there, we felt deeply that we didn't belong there. It felt like the place was even more snobbish."

Xiao Peng snapped his fingers. "You're right. Those kinds of occasions are even more snobbish. Look, when they didn't know who I was, they laughed at me. But when they found out, they came all over me to flatter me. They're where they are today because they're more realistic. They praise those who are stronger than them and step on those who are weaker. That's why I don't like going to those occasions. Fabian, on the other hand, enjoys them."

Fabian grinned and said, "It's nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade. I'm always flattered when I go to places like that, so I'm willing to go. Otherwise, who would want to go to those places?"

Jelena snorted coldly: "Why do they like stepping on people so much?"

Billy answered this question: "They are all stepping stones on the road to success. There are so many people on this planet who put others down to elevate themselves!"

Jelena suddenly took off her jewelry and handed it to Xiao Peng: "Uncle Xiao..., this is back to you!"

Xiao Peng took the jewelry and handed it to Bruch: "Why don't you wear it? Your eyes light up when you see these jewelry!"

Jelena said angrily, "When I wear the same jewelry, people think it's fake. But after knowing your identity, no one doubts its authenticity anymore! To put it bluntly, it's because I don't have that much influence. Even in places like this, I'd be laughed at."

Xiao Peng nodded. "It's good that you understand this. Just because you don't belong in this circle, forcing yourself to fit in doesn't mean you'll succeed. First of all, you have to have sufficient strength. The same jewelry, even if it's genuine, people will think it's fake on you, but even if it's fake on me, people will think it's real. The difference between us lies in our individual strengths. Of course, you are Brother Chen's daughter. If you are willing, I can make you a top socialite and have you frequent places like this every day. Is that what you want?"

After hearing this, Jelena snorted coldly, "I don't want that! I want to be strong enough so that everyone knows me for who I am, not because of you!"

Xiao Peng snapped his fingers. "Yes, sure. Fabian, wait until Jelena comes out of Leiden and if she's capable, let her train with you!"

Fabian said, "No problem! Clementine is sometimes too busy to handle things on her own... Hmm? Are we there yet?"

The car had already stopped, and Billy was the first to get out. As soon as he got out, he saw him standing there with a frown on his face. "You bastard, you keep seeing whoever you don't want to see!"

Now there was a group of young men and women standing at the yacht dock, one of whom was Bobby Alfonso, with whom he had a conflict.
