Chapter 1546 That Might Be a Nickname
Zeke Black stopped the music and took out the bottle of champagne that Xiao Peng had given him, and told everyone that if Anat could drink the bottle of champagne in one gulp, he would agree to her request.
It was a large bottle of Dom Pérignon 2009! With a 14.5% alcohol content, the consequences of downing that bottle in one gulp were predictable: after a little over half of the bottle, Anat erupted into a geyser and fell unconscious.
Zeke Black and the others were not willing to give up. Several of them wanted to carry Anat back to the room, while everyone else continued to play music and dance. As for what they were carrying Anat back for...
You could have guessed it with your heels - before she had taken a few steps, Anat's clothes had been 'accidentally' torn to pieces.
What happened next was relatively simple: after all, the girl had just helped Xiao Peng and van der Laupe, and van der Laupe couldn't stand it anymore, wanting to stop them and insisting on taking Anat away. An argument ensued, which later devolved into a fight. If Kayser hadn't reacted quickly and run back to wake Bruch, things could have easily become irreversible: For's henchman had simply pulled out a gun! It was only after Bruch grabbed the gun that Zeke Black intervened and smoothed things over.
But things became more troublesome after Anat was brought back: Anat was drunk, and was carried to the second-floor guest room by several people. After he was settled down, he went downstairs to take care of Elsa: He was beaten up badly, and if Bruch had not appeared in time, he would probably be in the hospital now.
"Boss, we did send Anat to the guest room. At that time, she was lying there like mud. No matter how we called her, she didn't respond, so we thought she was fine. As for how her clothes disappeared and how she ended up in your room, we really don't know. She probably wanted to vomit in the middle of the night and went to the bathroom, then came to your room, vomited, and then got on your bed." Bruch made a summary.
Xiao Peng covered his face, not knowing what to say.
In this matter, Van der Laupe and the others did nothing wrong. 'If you respect me an inch, I will respect you a yard' is Xiao Peng's principle. After all, Anat had just helped Xiao Peng and the others. If Xiao Peng saw it, he would also help.
But this was too shocking! Especially when Xiao Peng opened his eyes and saw a giant foot longer than his face...
Xiao Peng was really scared!
"Elsa, how are you?" Xiao Peng asked.
After hearing this, Aisha gritted her teeth and said, "Boss, they are too despicable! If it's a one-on-one fight, I'm not afraid of anyone!"
"Shut up! Why are you bragging to the boss? I don't know who knocked you down with a punch yesterday." Kaiser didn't give Elsa any face at all.
After hearing this, Aisha defended herself, "I was drunk."
Bruch said: "Don't explain, the truth is you are too weak!"
Aisha looked at Xiao Peng and said nothing.
Although Walter and the others kept saying that Xiao Peng was very strong, they had never seen him and thought that they were just bragging for Xiao Peng. But it was understandable if you think about it. After all, Xiao Peng was the boss and it was not a bad thing to flatter the boss - this was the 'rule of the workplace'.
Van der Laupe went to get a pair of slippers for Xiao Peng: "Boss, why did you come down here without even wearing slippers?"
Xiao Peng said helplessly, "Don't even mention it. My room has become a disaster scene. That Anat vomited all over the floor, and my slippers are covered in vomit too."
Van der Laupe said, "Boss, I'll go up and clean up."
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's wait until she wakes up. By the way, how could there be someone named 'Anat' in the US?"
"Boss, is there anything wrong with this name?" Kaiser asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng replied, "The name comes from Canaanite mythology. Canaan is what the ancient Greeks called the Phoenicians. Actually, Canaanite mythology should be called 'Levantine mythology,' because the Canaanites only refer to the people of the southern Levant, not the Aramaeans in the north. But it's a common name. You know, ancient Greek mythology is a hodgepodge, taking everything in. The basic framework of their mythological system is basically Canaanite mythology, and Egyptian mythology also borrowed heavily from Canaanite mythology. The same is true for the later Bible. To be precise, most of the current research on Canaanite mythology comes from the Bible."
Kaiser asked, puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with naming children after people from mythology? Boss, you're from the East and don't understand our Western customs. Basically, more than half of people name their children after the Bible."
Xiao Peng asked, "Would you name your daughter after the 'celibate god'?"
"A celibate god?" Kaiser was a little confused.
Bruch said, "It's the 'God of Hey Hey Hey,' the boss is just putting it in a more euphemistic way."
Xiao Peng pointed upstairs. "Actually, Anat has many godhoods, such as the god of agriculture and hunting, but the most widely known are the Valkyrie and the goddess of celibacy. She's also a giantess. How irresponsible do you think someone would give their daughter that name? I think it's more of an insulting nickname, what do you think?"
Van der Laupe spread his hands and said, "Boss, there's no point in speculating like that. Just ask her and you'll know."
Xiao Peng said helplessly, "How can I ask? I can't even get into that room! She vomited everywhere and the whole house is stinking! Look at me! I don't even have a change of clothes now! Bruch, give me one of your clothes so I can change into them first. It doesn't matter if it's a little bigger. Now that's good, I don't have to go to the auto show today. I don't know when she will wake up!"
Van der Laupe said hurriedly, "Boss, I caused this. I can just watch her from here. Don't let this affect your mood. Your room also needs cleaning."
Xiao Peng was about to speak when the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Who's coming?" Bruch was stunned after hearing this.
Xiao Peng didn't understand. Who would come looking for them when they first arrived? Jimmy Chalmers? Or the police from last night?
Van der Laupe went over and pressed the intercom: "Excuse me, who is this?"
"It's me." A familiar voice came from the intercom: "Zike Brightman! Is Xiao home?"
Van der Laupe looked at Xiao Peng.
Bruch frowned and said, "What's going on? After all the commotion yesterday, why are you here today? Are you looking for trouble?"
Xiao Peng said to Van der Laupe, "Let him in! Let's see what he wants, Bruch. If he's here to cause trouble, kill him right away!"
"Okay, boss!" said Bruch.
As soon as Van der Laupe opened the door, Bruch stood next to Van der Laupe and prepared for battle: There were many people standing outside the door besides Zeke Brightman!
This person has bad intentions!
