Chapter 561 The Pot Comes from the Mountain

Kaxin was a little excited to see so many people: "Boss, what should we do?"

Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at him: "You ask me? What do you do?"

"Me?" Kasin came back to his senses: "Yes! Boss, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that I'm a bodyguard! I'm going to fight my way out for you!"

Xiao Peng put on his sunglasses and looked outside: "Can you handle so many people by yourself?"

Kasin said, "This is the role of a bodyguard."

Walter, who was holding a telescope, suddenly said, "Boss, your friend Mr. Chen is here too."

"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "Chen Zetao is here too? Why didn't he call me?"

"Maybe it's because your phone is off?" Walter asked.

Xiao Peng coughed twice. It seemed that he really couldn't refute this reason.

"It's not easy to be a celebrity!" Khedira sighed.

Xiao Peng scratched his head. "I was originally thinking we should just leave the port. Now that Chen Zetao is here, we can just go over to him. I'm starting to regret doing that crappy livestream."

"Why?" Kasin asked in confusion, "Boss, you've become really famous this time!"

Xiao Peng shook his head. "Who doesn't have vanity? Who doesn't want to be famous? Why do so many people rack their brains to become celebrities? It's about making money and satisfying vanity. But becoming a public figure means sacrificing your privacy. For me, the latter is more important. I don't rely on fame to make money. Fame not only does me no good, but also adds so many troubles."

Khedira patted Kassin on the shoulder and said, "Aren't you famous this time? I see everyone on the internet calling you 'Brave Kassin'? How about this, why don't you try being a star and see how it feels?"

Ka Xin curled his lips and said, "I'm not going. How comfortable is it to follow the boss?"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng laughed and scolded: "Even if you show your loyalty now, there will be no bonus!"

"These reporters are so annoying!" Khedira said. "Even from such a distance, the flash lights hurt my eyes."

Xiao Peng blinked after hearing this: "Khedira, I have an idea, come here..."

After he finished speaking, he whispered something in Khedira's ear.

Khedira's expression became very interesting: "Boss, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Of course I'm sure!" Xiao Peng said with a smirk.

Khedira took a deep breath and said, "Boss, you're so awesome! You're trying to trick me into death!"

Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "I will never make anyone who makes me uncomfortable feel comfortable, right?"

"That's right!" Khedira said and ran back to the cabin.

Walter and Kassin were very puzzled when they saw this scene: "Boss, what do you want Khedira for?"

Xiao Peng shook his head: "You will know soon. Okay, hurry to the shore. How long have we been away from land?"

Ka Kun-li laughed and said, "I have to go through another period of not being able to walk!"

"How can it be so exaggerated? Alright, hurry up and dock!"

"yes!"

While not as exaggerated as Kasin's description, he was right about one thing: after being at sea for so long, coming ashore requires an adjustment period. This process varies from person to person; some can recover in minutes, while others may take hours or even days. This has to do with one's balance. Fortunately, Xiao Peng and the others were already accustomed to this process, and aside from the initial awkwardness of landing, they quickly adjusted.

As soon as they landed, reporters swarmed over like flies to shit. Before Xiao Peng could even open his mouth, microphones were thrust into his face. Xiao Peng instantly felt like he was an actress in a Japanese action romance film...

Although Walter and Kassin usually joked that they were not bodyguards, they finally found their place at this moment. They quickly controlled the reporters and prevented them from getting close. Khedira, on the other hand, hid in the back and no one knew what he was doing.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm a reporter from AFP..."

"Mr. Xiao, can I do an interview with you?"

"Mr. Xiao, what are your plans after this vacation?"

"Why are you so close to sharks?"

"A few days ago in South Africa, an internet celebrity imitated your encounter with a great white shark and ended up getting bitten. What do you think of this?"

"Will you take responsibility for his foolish behavior?"

"Will you ever host a music party like the one in the Tuileries Garden again?"

"Can you take off your sunglasses and take a clear photo? This is what our show viewers have been asking for.

Walter and Kasin pushed the reporters aside and said, "Please step back! Our boss refuses to be interviewed!"

"Why are you refusing an interview?" a reporter responded, "The public has the right to know! This is your duty as a public figure!"

“Yes, the public has a right to know!”

"As a public figure now, you should let everyone know more about you!"

Xiao Peng slowed down his pace and said, "What kind of public figure am I? Guys, if it were a local billionaire, would you dare to be so rude? Okay, stop pestering me. If you have that kind of time, go find some celebrity!"

After hearing Xiao Peng's words, all the reporters looked at each other in bewilderment. Xiao Peng's words were indeed correct. If those billionaires hadn't done anything illegal, why would reporters dare to bother them? Unless they wanted to quit their job!

Journalists are often called "uncrowned kings," but they also have families to support! They're more knowledgeable and therefore better at weighing the pros and cons. It's clearly unwise to offend a billionaire.

But there are also stubborn journalists. After all, there is capital behind these public opinions, and many media here survive by slandering China.

At this moment, someone in the reporter group spoke up: "What's wrong with billionaires? Are all Chinese people so ignorant of etiquette?"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng stopped and looked at the group of reporters with a gloomy face.

A reporter saw Xiao Peng looking at him and quickly waved his hands, saying, "I didn't say that. I'm just looking for news. Who said that? Don't try to trick me!"

But no one spoke to me this time.

Xiao Peng suddenly smiled. "You want news, right? Then I'll give you some big news!"

After hearing his words, all the reporters became alert and looked at Xiao Peng, wanting to know what big news he was going to announce.

Xiao Peng turned around and asked, "Khedira, did you take pictures of everything?"

"Not a single one is left, all of them are photographed!" Khedira replied.

Xiao Peng nodded and looked at the camera. "I'm not doing my job properly, so I'm doing livestreams. This has seriously affected my life. I deeply understand the difficulties of being a public figure, and this is not what I want to pursue. So, starting today, I will indefinitely suspend all livestreaming activities. I won't give you any chance to see my ocean exploration or deep-sea salvage activities anymore."

There was an uproar at the scene after hearing Xiao Peng's words.

Xiao Peng pointed at the reporters and said, "I've taken photos of everyone who came today and will post them online to express my gratitude. Thank you for helping me make this decision."
