Chapter 1138 The competition is too fierce
The executive director on the scene glared at Li Yawen and asked, "What the hell is this question you asked?"
Li Yawen was also frustrated. She had actually chosen this question out of curiosity. After all, everyone knew that Xiao Peng had brought back countless antiques and cultural relics, so why did she donate this painting? She hadn't expected Xiao Peng to be so resistant to this question.
What Xiao Peng said is right. That is someone else's thing. What does it have to do with them what they do?
He's not like a certain wealthy couple in China, who refused to donate a penny when things went wrong in China, while his wife became an American citizen and desperately donated money to the Americans. As a result, I heard that their ancestral graves were dug up... Xiao Peng alone brought back enough cultural relics to rival the collections of a national museum! And yet he's making comments without even bringing back a single painting?
Xiao Peng sighed and continued, "I brought back so many things that I can't see, yet I'm still thinking about a painting that originally belonged to someone else and returning it to them. What's the mentality of these people? They use the standards of a scoundrel to demand of themselves and the standards of a saint to demand of others? Then, should I return all the foreign cultural relics in my collection to them to better meet the requirements of these saints? As far as I know, there are many such opinions in China, aren't there? They say that I should return things to other countries in exchange for their friendship. I'm here to say: Sure! As long as the person who said this can bring back all the cultural relics of our country that are scattered in museums abroad, I will donate all my things! Stupid X, returning things to others in exchange for their friendship? Then why don't they return our cultural relics in exchange for our friendship?"
Li Yawen coughed dryly twice. "Xiao Peng, calm down, calm down! You're swearing... after all, there are so many people watching!"
Xiao Peng frowned slightly after hearing this: "Then let's end the live broadcast here today."
"Don't!" Li Yawen was anxious. If this really ended like this, she could be laid off - this was the trouble she had caused due to her choice! The executive director on the scene was completely dumbfounded.
Xiao Peng really dared to stop the live broadcast! Everyone knows how willful Xiao Peng is.
"Xiao Peng, this is my fault. I shouldn't have chosen this question." Li Yawen said bluntly, "We've traveled halfway around the world to get to you, and I'm afraid domestic viewers and netizens will be very dissatisfied with such a short live broadcast. Can we skip this question?"
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and stood up and said, "I'm going to go smoke a cigarette!"
Li Yawen quickly grabbed him and said, "Xiao Peng, you can smoke here. After all, everyone knows that you smoke during the live broadcast."
If we let Xiao Peng go, who knows if he will come back... Let's hold him back first.
Xiao Peng didn't hesitate. He felt his pocket and found that he had no cigarettes. At this time, the maid Valissa came over, handed Xiao Peng a cigarette and lit it for him.
At this moment, a question happened to float across the screen. Li Yawen saw it and quickly asked, "Xiao Peng, someone asked if that was your new girlfriend just now? Why do you seem to have a special liking for foreign girls? Don't you like us Oriental girls?"
Xiao Peng had just taken a puff of his cigarette when he choked on the question and started coughing. After finally stopping, Xiao Peng said speechlessly, "Hey, Mr. Reporter Li! I'm not an entertainment star, why are you asking such gossip questions?"
Li Yawen's face turned black after hearing this. This was another wrong question.
But can she be blamed for this? Aren't ordinary people interested in such gossip?
She was about to explain when Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Alright, let me answer your question again. That was my maid. Alfred was my butler at the beginning. Don't say I was corrupted by capital. There are more than 40 rooms in my house. I don't have anyone to clean. Are you going to tire me to death? Hiring a nanny is normal in China, but having a maid is a problem? I'm telling those with dirty minds, don't speculate about the relationship between me and the maid. If I want, I can invite a group of celebrities and internet celebrities to come to my place. I don't have to do anything with my own maid. Your malicious speculation is just vulgar. I have bodyguards, butlers, servants, gardeners, drivers... There's nothing strange about this. If you ask this question, there will be more people in my family with such financial resources."
Li Yawen wanted to tell Xiao Peng that no one on the barrage had said that, but she changed her mind and decided not to say anything. What Xiao Peng said made sense, and there must be many people who thought the same way as Xiao Peng said.
Xiao Peng took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "Just now you asked me if I like foreign girls? I swear to God, I prefer Chinese girls. They have good skin, good personalities... In short, everything is good! But do I have a choice?"
"You don't have a choice? What does that mean?" Li Yawen asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng said helplessly, "The competition is too fierce! There are only so many Daxia girls from abroad. How many can you really know? And you don't know how fierce the competition is. You have to compete with Europeans, black people, Arabs... To be honest, on the day I donated the painting, a Daxia girl looked down on me. Oh, she hasn't been from Daxia for three years, but she looked down on me so much that her exact words were, 'You're ashamed to be associated with me.'"
"There are still people who despise you?" Li Yawen was stunned after hearing this.
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "That's not surprising. Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is: in the West, Asians are at the bottom of the mate selection hierarchy for women. Unless you have good financial conditions, whites and blacks will have higher priority than Asians under the same circumstances. So many Asians, including international students, choose local girls as their girlfriends. It's not because they like them, but more often because they have no choice. I don't know about others, but for me, smelling all kinds of perfume every day is actually quite torturous."
"You're a billionaire known as the 'Salvage King'!" Li Yawen's eyes widened. "How could you be looked down upon?"
Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hands, saying, "What 'salvage king'? You think too highly of foreigners. This is called the 'cross-racial effect,' also known as 'cross-racial identification difficulty,' meaning that people of different races have difficulty recognizing each other. If I change my hairstyle, clothes, and glasses, and walk down the street, 99% of the people here won't recognize me. And..."
After hearing this, Li Yawen asked, "And?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Besides, I'm not as famous as you think. Although many people here know me, not many people know what I look like."
"Why is this?" Li Yawen was confused.
Xiao Peng gave the answer: "It's very simple. People here don't like to read newspapers that much. They pay more attention to sports and entertainment news. If I were a sports star, like a football or basketball star? Then maybe everyone here would know me! But someone like me might not even know who I am even if I perform on the streets!"
"You can still perform on the streets?"
"Why is this impossible? Isn't this a livestream? If someone tips me 100,000, I'll go out and perform today. As I said, the money will be donated to the deep-sea diving base! I don't want a cent! It's just for fun!"
