Chapter 1121 Do you understand art?
"Sir, I think you have misunderstood something," Linda said. "We are here to see Prince Beaugency."
Billy was stunned: "Miss, do I know you?"
Linda smiled and said, "We are Isabel's friends."
Billy frowned. "Isabelle? Which one?"
Linda was stunned: "It's Isabel who was with you in France."
Billy shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I know at least a dozen women named 'Isabelle'. I don't know who you're talking about. Anyway, let's not dwell on this. What do you want from me?"
Linda's disappointment faded away, and she smiled. "I've heard my friend mention you many times. He speaks highly of you, calling you 'a man among men, a gentleman among gentlemen.' This makes me very curious. After all, such a perfect man is the easiest to conquer a woman's heart. Please introduce yourself..."
Billy was still feeling happy when he suddenly saw Xiao Peng with a gloomy face. He coughed twice and interrupted Linda, saying, "Sorry, Miss, you should see I'm chatting with a friend right now. You're disturbing us."
Linda was stunned. Is Billy really gay?
Billy continued, "And your friend was very rude to my friend, so please ask him to leave."
Zoe Zhao, who was standing beside her, said, "My dear Prince, I don't know what your relationship is with this Daxia man, but I hope you need to be more vigilant."
"Stay alert?" Billy was stunned.
Zoe Zhao sneered, "I'm originally from Daxia. I know Daxia people too well. They are an inferior race!"
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this. "What's your name? Zoe? You forgot one thing. Even though you changed your nationality, you can't change your ethnicity. Aren't you just stupidly scolding yourself?"
"What did you say? Am I talking to you?" Zoe looked at Xiao Peng and said, "Do you have any manners? Don't you know you shouldn't interrupt others when they're talking? I can't believe such an elegant place would let someone like you in. Do you understand art? You're disrespecting this Vermeer painting by standing in front of it!"
Xiao Peng said truthfully, "I don't really understand art, but I was able to get in. I'm curious how you guys got in. Billy, is the threshold so low here?"
Zhang Qikun on the side said, "It's the unspoken rule of art exhibitions that some young and beautiful girls come here to pick up rich men. After all, there are many rich people here. Billy should be the target this time."
"So that's how it is..." Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "Zhang Qikun, how did you know?"
Zhang Qikun said, "I often attend art exhibitions. Paris has so many art exhibitions. When I can't sleep at night, I just go to an art exhibition and I can basically fall asleep after that. That's the essence of Parisian nightlife."
Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are not a good person!"
The two people were talking here, and Zoe Zhao said angrily: “How can such an elegant place allow such vulgar people to come in.”
Xiao Peng turned his head and glanced at her, then sighed, "Because this Vermeer painting is mine, do you think I can come in?"
"What?" Zoe Zhao was stunned after hearing this: "You are too boastful, aren't you?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I'm already fed up. Waiter, come here for a moment."
The waiter next to him came over and said, "Mr. Xiao, what can I do for you?"
Xiao Peng pointed at Linda and Zoe Zhao and said, "I don't know what kind of guests they are here, but they have disturbed us and caused us trouble. I hope you can ask them to leave and stop bothering us here!"
"Okay, Mr. Xiao." The waiter nodded and said, "Ladies, could you please leave? You've already caused trouble to our guests."
Linda's eyes widened as she asked, "Hey, do you know who I am? We're friends with your gallery manager, Mr. Johnson! Can you let us leave? This guy actually claimed the paintings in your gallery belonged to him. Isn't that ridiculous? As far as I know, your gallery is owned by the Dutch Royal Family. What he's doing is insulting and smearing the Dutch Royal Family!"
The waiter smiled and said, "Even if Manager Johnson spoke to this esteemed gentleman in this manner, he would be kicked out. Lille, please ask these two ladies to leave, and also ask their companions to leave. Also, blacklist them from the gallery industry association. Having such a lady at our art exhibition is a disgrace to us. Oh, and by the way, this Vermeer painting is indeed this gentleman's. We didn't have it in our gallery before, but we borrowed it from him for the exhibition today."
"What?" Linda and Zoe Zhao exclaimed together.
The waiter smiled and shook his head. "It's common sense not to make loud noises in a gallery. Didn't Manager Johnson remind you of this? Never mind. I think Manager Johnson will take responsibility for letting you in. Please leave!"
Before Linda could say anything, Zoe Zhao became anxious. She was a graduate of the Royal Dutch Academy of Fine Arts, which was why she could so accurately describe the characteristics of Vermeer's paintings. Although she also wanted to be with a wealthy man, she still had to make a living. If she was blacklisted by the Dutch Galleries Association, how could she survive here? Moreover, the relationships in Europe were complicated. If that happened, the first thing she would consider was changing careers.
Moreover, there are many media people here, and they will soon make what happened here public, and then I will become the laughing stock of everyone.
She wants to be famous, but she doesn't want to be famous this way!
She wasn't stupid. She wanted to scold Linda right away. Her analysis had been spot-on, but now she remembered that Billy's first words, calling Xiao Peng "idol," proved that this Daxia man was no ordinary person. But they had already formed a preconceived notion. The key to resolving this matter now lay with Xiao Peng.
She then quickly said to Xiao Peng, "Sir, I'm sorry. I was rude just now. I apologize to you now. Please forgive us."
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "You do need to apologize, but I have no reason to forgive you. Okay, you guys can leave now!"
"Sir, please don't do this. We are all from Da Xia. We rely on our parents at home and our friends when we go out. You can't treat your compatriots like this! If you do this, all my efforts over the years will be in vain! You are pushing me into a dead end!" said Zoe Zhao.
Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "You weren't a Daxia person three years ago! Don't tell me about compatriots or not. Of all the things you said just now, there's only one thing I really agree with."
"What?"
"I am ashamed to be associated with you! Forget it, since they don't want to leave, then I will leave!"
