Chapter 858 Temporary Yacht Party

Today's filming was complete, and the set had become a massive celebrity-chasing event. Xiao Peng had originally come to chase his idol, but now he was the target of everyone's attention. Xiao Peng simply contacted Johannes and arranged an impromptu outdoor party for the entire crew—after all, even if this movie had been remade to look like something foreign, it was still his story, wasn't it?

Although this party was held at the last minute without prior preparation, Xiao Peng's "money ability" once again came into play: a well-prepared party was held in a lively atmosphere on Xiao Peng's "Luna".

Alfred dismissed the maids on board, but the residents of Norderney Island were the most enthusiastic about Xiao Peng's party. In fact, they had long wanted to go on the Luna for a while.

What billionaire would open his luxury yacht to the public? The opportunity to party on a boat like this doesn't come around all the time. They'll even be able to boast: "Our restaurant has catered the best yacht parties." So they know Xiao Peng's passion for hosting parties is unwavering: he'll provide every possible dining experience. Some restaurant owners even serve themselves, just to get a photo with Xiao Peng on the boat to display in their store's advertising.

Of course, Xiao Peng had agreed with them that they could just take photos of the interior space from the outside of the deck. After all, the interior decoration of the "Luna" was so luxurious that even Xiao Peng couldn't stand it.

"Xiao! What a great party!" Director Caroline Link and Til Swiger came over with wine glasses.

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Caroling, I'm not very experienced in hosting parties, and this party was planned suddenly. I hope you can understand if there are any shortcomings in the hospitality."

Caroline laughed and said, "Even if you gave me a week to prepare a party, it wouldn't be this lively. Did Tildy make all this music herself? Isn't that impressive?"

Til Swiger on the side also said, "Xiao, the hostess of this party is the live DJ herself. I've never encountered such a thing before."

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "This is Tilty's personal hobby. I even prepared a recording studio for her on the Luna. This is just a playful ship."

"I heard you are going out to sea again?" Caroling asked.

Xiao Peng did not deny this. Everyone on the island knew about it. The people at the dock management office had already spread the news that Xiao Peng and his crew's ship was about to go out to sea.

He nodded and said, "Yes. I'm going to an ocean I've never been to before."

"Oh?" Caroline said with a smile, "There must be treasure waiting for you, right? Your 'Calypso' will also be coming along!"

Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "Who knows? If I said I had no goals, you wouldn't believe me. But the truth is, I went out this time just to conduct exercises and train the new crew. As you can see, after I acquired the Luna, there were a lot of new crew members on board, and I have to give them some time to get used to each other."

Til Swiger sighed, "This trip with two ships must have cost at least several million, right? Are you just trying to train the crew? I'm afraid no one would believe you if you told them that."

Xiao Peng smiled but said nothing.

At this moment, Nanji and Bei Anqi came out of the cabin. Nanji sighed and said, "My family has a yacht, but compared to your boat, it's just like a small windsurfing board."

Bei Anqi said, "It has everything, including a gym, bar, spa, and cinema. The most amazing thing is that there's a huge ballroom! Oh my god! This ship is too exaggerated!"

Xiao Peng explained, "The dance hall you mentioned was actually an indoor basketball court. But at sea, you can only play basketball to relax when the weather is nice and calm. Plus, it's a bit low inside, which makes playing a bit depressing. So, I demolished the original tennis court and turned it into an outdoor basketball court. The indoor basketball court became the dance hall, giving Tilty a place to play."

Bei Anqi said enviously: "You really love your girlfriend."

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "They love me even more."

"Don't you like playing tennis?" Bei Anqi asked. "What a great sport! I also hope to have the chance to play tennis with you."

Xiao Peng said, "I can't play tennis. Playing tennis with me is life-threatening!"

Bei Anqi: “…”

What do you mean by blocking me?

Caroline Link tried to smooth things over, explaining, "Xiao wasn't kidding. You might not know this, but he apprehended seven armed robbers in the US. His weapon was a tennis ball. And that was with his hands. If he had used a racket... playing with him would have been life-threatening."

Xiao Peng turned around and pointed at the basketball court. "Actually, when we played basketball together, they wouldn't let me dribble the ball and only let me shoot. They were afraid I would hurt them."

Walter on the side said: "In fact, we don't want to take our boss with us no matter what we play. We are afraid of getting hurt."

Kasin said: "I like playing mahjong with him. He loses the most."

Khedira said: "I think the reason the boss banned gambling on the boat was because he was afraid of losing too much!"

Xiao Peng was anxious: "Come on! Let's fight! I'll let you use only one hand!"

Walter and the other two turned their heads and talked about something else. Kasim coughed twice and said, "Who would compete with a monster like you... I didn't say anything. Boss, let's go drink! Yes, boss, we can have a drinking contest with you! Come on! You drink three glasses and I'll have one!"

"Hey! Challenging you!" Xiao Peng glared at me and lowered his voice, "You win. I'm strictly abiding by the prohibition on alcohol. Can't you see I'm drinking juice right now? Get out of here and go have fun wherever you want!"

"Okay, boss, we're retreating!" Walter and others high-fived each other and left with a smile.

Til Sweiger was a little confused: "Are these your bodyguards? Two of them are German? Isn't this a very careless way of having bodyguards?"

"What's the point of being strict or not?" Xiao Peng waved his hand. "I've never considered them bodyguards. With over seven billion people on Earth, it's fate that two people can know each other. Why make it so class-based? They work for me, but that doesn't mean I'm superior to them or that there has to be a clear hierarchy. My relationship with my employees is this: superiors and subordinates at work, friends outside of work—at least it should appear like friends."

After hearing what Xiao Peng said, everyone was stunned, and then started laughing.

Til Swig whistled. "I'm so excited to be your bodyguard now! By the way, Mr. Xiao, is your yacht available for rent? I want my daughter to experience this big yacht. My biggest regret today is not bringing her to Norderney Island."
