Chapter 1244: Getting Angry
When Xiao Peng returned home, he saw the sofa smashed into pieces as soon as he entered the yard.
"Why are you staying here? Throw him out!" Xiao Peng said with anger.
Walter nodded and said, "Boss, King William and Mayor Ahmed Abotalib of Rotterdam are waiting for you in the guest room! They have been waiting for a long time, and it seems like they have something important to tell you!"
Xiao Peng frowned after hearing this: "Why are they joining in the fun... Did the teacups get smashed?"
"Smash it!" said Walter.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng entered the room.
He pushed open the door of the guest room. William and Ahmed were about to speak when they saw him, but Xiao Peng waved his hand. "You two, I hope you understand. I'm furious now. I know you must have something important to talk to me about, but in my current state, I can't calm down and talk to you. Give me some time to calm down. Khedira, you stay here with William and this gentleman. Walter, come with me!"
After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs without listening to their reply.
This was Ahmed Abotalib's first time dealing with Xiao Peng, and he was genuinely frightened by his behavior. "Uh, King William, I've heard that Mr. Xiao is a maverick, but I never thought he would..."
He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident: One of us is the mayor, and the other is the king. We have been waiting here for him for so long, but he just showed up, said a few words, and then left them here. Isn't this too awesome?
William smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Although Xiao Peng is indeed a young man with a strong personality, he is also a very polite person. This is the first time I've seen him so angry. But the fact that he came to explain to us when he was so angry speaks volumes."
Ahmed Abotalib nodded after hearing this. If a person is really angry and can behave like Xiao Peng, it is already very good.
William asked Khedira: "Khedira, what happened to your boss today? What did he say? Oh, who stepped on his tail?"
Ahmed Abotalib was stunned: "Mr. Xiao still has a tail?"
William explained: "This is a common saying in Daxia, which means whoever offends him."
Ahmed Abotalib suddenly understood.
Why did William say this? He wanted to show the latter: Look, I know Xiao Peng's bodyguards, and I even know their hometown idioms. Look at our relationship. What gives you the right to argue with me?
As old as people are, they become more cunning and clever. William is very sly!
Khedira replied: "Today, the European director of PETA and a lawyer came here to see the boss. The boss went out because of this matter."
"Why are they coming to see your boss?" William asked.
"PETA sent a letter to my boss. He had a good relationship with a nurse shark named Nightingale, and with Nightingale's help, he found a shipwreck, which led him to pursue a career in ocean salvage," Khedira explained. "The letter from PETA was asking for Nightingale's share of the shipwreck to be returned to him."
William and Ahmed Abotalib looked at each other.
"They are suing for sharks? On behalf of sharks?" William suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Khedira nodded and said, "That's true. After the boss knew what they were here for, he dragged them to the Palm Tree to eat. Um... we were outside, deliberately freezing them. I don't know what they talked about, but after that, my boss was furious!"
William suddenly understood. "This is really annoying. If it happened to me, I'd be angry too. But dragging people outside to sit on this kind of weather is definitely his style. Mayor Abotalib, why does this PETA sound so familiar to me? Does it make any impression on you?"
Ahmed Abotalib thought for a moment and suddenly his eyes widened: "Oh, the one who sued Unilever!"
William was stunned at first, then he remembered: "So it was that idiotic organization!"
Ahmed Abotalib quickly said, "King William, watch your words!"
William suddenly realized what was going on and quickly pointed at his mouth, making a zipper-like motion. He meant, "Don't tell anyone. If people in Europe knew that he had called an animal protection organization 'idiots', then William would be the one being scolded."
Khedira covered his mouth and laughed secretly. These celebrities must have such a tiring life! They don't even dare to express their emotions.
'Unilever' is a very famous multinational group, which was jointly established by several companies from the Netherlands, Britain and France. It has a history of nearly a hundred years from 1929 to the present.
Many Chinese people think of "Unilever" as a company specializing in the production of daily chemical products such as shampoo. In fact, "Unilever" has a very wide range of business operations.
For example, popular ice cream brands like Wall's, Cornetto, and Magnum are actually all products of Unilever. And because their ice cream is high-quality, made from the milk of renowned Holstein cows, it's undoubtedly one of the most popular ice cream brands in Europe.
When Xiao Peng was in China, he thought the taste of these ice creams was just average, but when he tried them here, hey, they really tasted completely different from the ones in China!
No wonder it's so popular here.
As a result, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat, so they were targeted by PETA.
PETA sent a direct letter of protest to Unilever, stating that "because milk production by dairy cows is too costly for the cows, humans should drink human milk instead of cow's milk." They demanded that Unilever replace cow's milk with human milk in all its ice cream brands. PETA members from various European countries also protested in the Netherlands, even creating a ridiculously cool slogan for the protest—"Human MiMi is the best." I wonder what those women's rights groups thought of this.
This incident has caused a lot of trouble for the Netherlands: dairy industry and dairy cattle breeding are the pillar industries of the Netherlands' agriculture, and you are trying to destroy their jobs!
Of course, the matter was eventually left unresolved. Unilever would not replace cow's milk with human milk, and the Netherlands would not destroy its own industry. However, the incident did make the Netherlands quite embarrassed, and PETA also achieved its goal: they never thought that Unilever would really change the milk source. They just attracted public attention and gave themselves a very successful publicity and promotion, and then they could fool more people into joining and donating.
After William and Ahmed Abotalib learned that it was PETA that was targeting Xiao Peng, they suddenly began to understand why Xiao Peng was so angry: it must not be a good feeling to be targeted by such a group of weirdos.
Long live understanding!
Well, I've waited so long, so I'll have to wait a little longer. I didn't read the Bible before going out today...
