Chapter 761 The troubles keep coming

"I'm in trouble?" Xiao Peng handed Chen Zetao a cigarette. "What trouble do I have? Are you talking about me hitting someone? What's the big deal? Let them come and arrest me!"

After hearing this, Chen Zetao said, "Why should I worry about this? I'm not worried even if you kill them. At most, it will cost me some money to sue them. I'm talking about other things."

"Something else?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "What else? Chen Cheng, start the boat and proceed according to the coordinates I set!"

"Yes, boss!" The Luna started to start slowly.

Xiao Peng pulled over a nearby sun lounger and lay down. "Brother Chen, don't scare me. I haven't done anything else in the past few months except for this beating. Have you dealt with my gold back home?"

Chen Zetao handed Xiao Peng a card: "We haven't seen you for so long, why are you thinking about your money first?"

Xiao Peng glared at me and said, "Brother Chen, what's the matter? Please don't tell me I shouldn't accept this money and donate it for free! I'm telling you, people who grew up with someone like me tend to have psychological issues to some degree. Mine is extreme sensitivity!"

Chen Zetao laughed after hearing this and said, "Yeah, it still has that familiar flavor. I didn't say I've become a different person after all these crazy months."

"Of course I am. I will always be myself!" Xiao Peng said proudly, "Brother Chen, you said I'm in trouble? The money is all here. What kind of trouble could I have? Is someone in the country causing trouble again?"

Chen Zetao's face was filled with gloom. "Don't think of someone causing trouble in China first! This time your trouble is in Europe!"

"Europe?" Xiao Peng thought for a moment and shook his head. "Stop it! Besides Friedrich, who else in Europe is giving me trouble? But Friedrich isn't having a good time right now, is he? The Netherlands and the Tri-State Alliance are putting a lot of pressure on him, and he's still giving me trouble? He's already begging me! I wish I could give him some money right now to tide him over!"

"I'm not talking about Friedrich!" Chen Zetao said, "You've been having a blast on Necker Island lately! Your life surrounded by beautiful women every day is truly enviable!"

Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Brother Chen, what do you mean? I can't even have fun? I'm a billionaire now. Can't I have fun with the girls? What? Do I have to have fun with men now? Our boat is like a Buddhist temple, and if I find some girls to play with, people will say something?"

"You're right!" Chen Zetao snapped his fingers. "Some people actually made irresponsible remarks and even called you a racist!"

"Puff!" Xiao Peng just took a sip of the juice on the table and immediately spat it out. "Me? A racist? Are you kidding? There are French, Middle Eastern French, North African French, Chinese, Germans, Russians on my ship... How dare they call me racist?"

Xiao Peng was right. There really was a "multinational force" on their ship. Apart from them, Cabaye and Diogo were both French of North African descent, while Varane was French of Middle Eastern descent.

Chen Zetao said directly: "But there are no black people!"

"Ah?" Xiao Peng was stunned.

Chen Zetao pointed toward the boat's swimming pool. "You invited a lot of girls here this time, right? They posted all sorts of pictures online to show off their presence and their sense of superiority, and that's when they got you into trouble: The girls here are all white, there's no Black people. Then someone investigated your company and discovered you don't have any Black people either. So now there's a huge online campaign in Europe accusing you of 'racism.'"

Xiao Peng was dumbfounded. "Oh my god! Is this even possible? I didn't invite these girls!"

"But others don't know!" Chen Zetao said, "And even if you explain, it's useless. Someone will definitely say you're shirking responsibility!"

"Fuck you!" Xiao Peng cursed. "Who do they think they are? They need me to explain? I'm their grandfather and I love them so much. What do they mean? Do I have to change my aesthetic standards? We Chinese have always liked white and considered white to be beautiful. Is it wrong for me to play with a white girl?"

Chen Zetao said, "Well, actually, it's not just that. There are also rumors on the domestic Internet that you are pro-Western and only like foreign girls."

Xiao Peng was completely confused: "Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for so long, you came here just to piss me off, right? I'm in Europe! If I don't play with white girls, who else should I play with?"

Chen Zetao laughed heartily. "How is it? How does it feel to be noticed?"

Xiao Peng sighed deeply, "What I'm feeling most deeply right now is 'I may not be around anymore, but my legend lives on.' It's been so long since I last streamed, and yet so many people still miss me?"

Chen Zetao nodded and said, "Actually, there are a lot of people who are thinking about you. The salvage work in the Mediterranean has been completed, and that live broadcast hasn't aired for a while."

After hearing this, Xiao Peng looked at Chen Zetao and said, "Brother Chen, what do you mean? You're not here to ask me for the sunken ship again, are you? I've done my best! I didn't get a cent from the salvage last time! Brother Chen, you've established good relations with the country, but I still haven't received any explanation from my side!"

Chen Zetao's expression froze after hearing this. He actually had this thought: after all, searching for a sunken ship wasn't a simple matter. It required all sorts of research and investigation, as well as determining whether the shipwreck was worth salvaging. It wasn't something that could be resolved in a day or two!

Why is Xiao Peng so popular in the ocean exploration industry? It's because he's so fast!

This "salvage speed" does not simply refer to working hours, but also includes the speed of investigating the sunken ship.

The Algerian marine salvage company has already salvaged all the artifacts from the shipwreck in the Mediterranean, but now has no new work plans.

Ask them to conduct an investigation? No experience in this area!

So they found Chen Zetao and hoped that Chen Zetao would find Xiao Peng to see if he could get the coordinates of the shipwreck from Xiao Peng.

It just so happened that Xiao Peng sent the boat to Greece for modification this time, and they worked overtime to build the boat in order to have a good relationship with Xiao Peng and make it easier to ask for things.

"Brother Xiao, look at what you said. Why did you finish your boat so quickly? Everyone knows what you have done and is grateful to you!" said Chen Zetao.

But Xiao Peng rolled his eyes. "Brother Chen, why didn't you tell me how much I paid? You didn't even give me a discount, and you still have the nerve to thank me? I was shocked when Fabian sent me the bill!"

"Hmm?" Chen Zetao's brows knitted together. "What did you say?"

"Fabian! Bring the bill to Brother Chen and open his eyes!"
