Chapter 1689: Girl culture is also popular here

Xiao Peng was dismissive of Fabian's proposal. He was too lazy to go to Kaliningrad.

I came to Russia this time to enjoy the sauna here, but after all these years, I still haven't experienced a genuine Russian sauna. I'm so annoyed by being stuck in the hotel every day.

However, Xiao Peng didn't refuse Fabian's invitation to the film festival reception. After all, he wanted to go and see what it was like, right? There were two tickets in total, and he brought Van der Laupe with him.

As for Kashin and the others? They didn't have invitations, but did they need them to get in? And if Desarev couldn't even handle that, then he shouldn't be bragging about being an FSB man.

So at nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Peng and Van der Laupe dressed up and attended the cocktail party after the award ceremony.

No matter what film festival it is, there will be a cocktail party, which is supposedly to promote communication among filmmakers. However, it has basically changed its meaning now - those unsightly photos of actresses and wealthy people on the Internet are basically from such cocktail parties.

But Xiao Peng didn't know this. He was still naive and thought that this was a high-end occasion, so he arrived at the scene in a suit and tie. Van der Laupe, as his female companion, also wore a beautiful evening gown. But when he arrived at the cocktail party, Xiao Peng regretted doing so: What the hell is this!

As soon as Xiao Peng entered, he saw a girl hugging a man, her hand reaching for his lower genitals. He looked around and realized that everyone around him was like this. Even if it wasn't quite this extreme, he could still see lust in the eyes of both men and women.

Everyone knows that the entertainment industry is dirty, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that it is even dirtier than I imagined...

Xiao Peng felt bored after just one turn. "Van der Laupe, have you seen Fabian? I'll just say hello to him and leave. This place is so boring!"

Van der Laupe glanced around and said, "I didn't see it!"

Xiao Peng said, "You play here for a while, I'll go find him."

"I'll go with you," said van der Laupe.

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Alright, I said I'm leaving, not that you should follow me. Just play around here and have some fun. Don't be so reserved. Look at that shameless Ka Xin. Just learn from them."

"Casin? Where is he?" Van der Laupe followed the direction of Xiao Peng's finger and saw Casin, who was chatting with a few girls and laughing happily.

Van der Laupe blinked. "Are all the girls here celebrities? He's really brave enough to pick them up."

Xiao Peng laughed and said, "What's wrong with being a female star? You're no worse than anyone else. Van der Laupe, be more confident. You're my personal nanny. We have a saying in our country, 'The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door,' which means that those who guard the prime minister's house have the same status as seventh-rank officials in the court. If you want to see the prime minister, you must ask the gatekeeper to pass it on. Although they are just small-time gatekeepers, they have great power. I may not be a prime minister, but I am the 'salvage king' after all! Tell me, which man do you like? If he makes me angry, I will spend all my money to buy him for you!"

Vander Loupe is the woman Xiao Peng trusts the most, but her experiences from childhood to adulthood have made her very inferior. Xiao Peng hopes that she can be more confident.

"Haha." Van der Laupe laughed. "Boss, this isn't your style. Isn't it the use of money to pressure people that annoys you the most?"

Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "No, you're wrong. When I was poor, what annoyed me most were those who bullied others by relying on their little money. But when I became rich, I found that this was actually the quickest and most compassionate way to deal with things. People at different levels of life look at problems from different perspectives. Now I understand why those rich people can confidently say, 'Things that can be solved with money are not a problem.' You see, Fabian is rich, but wasn't he bullied by Alex in St. Petersburg? This proves that money can't solve all problems."

After hearing this, Van der Laupe pursed his lips and said, "What in this world can't be solved with money? 99% of things can be solved with money, and the remaining 1% requires even more money to solve - Boss, you said that!"

Xiao Peng laughed and said, "That's why everyone wants to be rich. You don't lack money now, what you lack is confidence. So be more confident. Vander Loupe, you can't be my personal nanny for the rest of your life, nor can you always be stuck in the past. Go find a handsome guy and relax. In this world, men can't live without women, and women can't live without men. You watch Kasin and the others fooling around all day, and don't you feel moved?"

Van der Laupe burst out laughing after hearing this: "Boss, what are you talking about? How dare you say that others are fooling around?"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng patted Van der Laupe's head and said, "Not bad, you know how to tease the boss. That's progress! Okay, go have fun by yourselves. Don't worry about me. Just be safe."

After hearing this, Van der Laupe nodded and said, "Boss, then I'll be happy too."

Xiao Peng laughed and said, "You thought I didn't see it? Your pupils were dilated when you first came in here."

After all, Van der Laupe is also a young girl, and naturally she loves chasing stars and handsome guys. At this time, she could no longer contain her excitement, and the image of the Russian male star was too suitable for her taste.

The characteristic of young Russian male stars nowadays is "femininity", also known as "sissy".

This has caused considerable concern among Russians. Former Duma member Yelena Babich has publicly called for Russia to emulate Bishkek. Bishkek's screens were once dominated by effeminate characters, but it later implemented a series of "de-effeminate" measures to address this unhealthy aesthetic. She suggests Russia should follow Bishkek's lead and implement relevant "de-effeminate" policies to improve the current Russian film and television industry.

Back then, the images in Russian films and TV shows were all about real men: brave, strong, and responsible, but now the images of men on Russian TV are basically effeminate men with tattoos all over their bodies and wearing women's clothes.

But this strategy remains difficult to implement: after all, the film and television industry is driven by capital, and as long as they can make money, they're in love with whoever they want. The film and television industry relies heavily on female fans, so naturally, they'll release whatever women want to watch. Just look at Vander Loupe's performance: this kind of effeminate male star is particularly popular with women.

Since women like effeminate men, then they should desperately promote effeminate male celebrities—that’s how they can make money, right?

If Russia starts to de-feminize, then regardless of whether the capitalists are willing or not, the feminists alone will be enough to make them suffer.

What will happen if the "fighting nation" becomes the "sissy nation" in the future?

Huh? Why do I look forward to it just by imagining it?
