Chapter 1409 Respective Requests
Seeing Xiao Peng's sudden change of expression, Lott-Metz and the others were also stunned. How could he change so drastically? Who offended you?
"Ms. Lotte-Metz, do you have something to talk to me about?" Xiao Peng asked after walking to the sofa on the other side and sitting down.
Lot-Metz looked at Xiao Peng and said, "Well, Mr. Xiao, I have to apologize for our argument that day. I shouldn't have said that you were speaking for the Del family just to get their help. I've thought about what you said that day, and I have to say you were right."
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Ms. Mays, believe me, your opinion is of no importance to me. Therefore, your apology is unnecessary. Furthermore, no two ears can ever be truly convinced by a single mouth. You probably think I'm right because you know who I am. Or perhaps you're not convinced at all and are simply saying this to get something from me. So, let's cut through these irrelevant details and get straight to the point: What exactly do you want from me?"
Lot-Metz and others swallowed their saliva after hearing what Xiao Peng said. What Xiao Peng said was not friendly at all!
"Mr. Xiao, I heard that you are going to be a teaching professor at 3ME College?" asked Lot-Metz.
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I'm not a lecturer. You can think of me as a figurehead, just occasionally telling everyone stories about the sea. And it's not limited to 3ME Academy. Anyone from the eight faculties in Delft can attend. It might inspire students to think in different directions. If you're interested, you can go and audit."
"Well, we will definitely go," said Lot-Metz.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, "Of course, don't expect me to speak very well. After all, this is not something I'm good at. Okay, now can you tell me why you came to see me?"
Sylvia on the side couldn't help it, she interrupted and said: "Mr. Xiao, my name is Sylvia."
"I know." Xiao Peng asked directly: "What do you want?"
Sylvia hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, Lotte told me that I might have been deceived, and she said that you reminded her, right?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "That's exactly what I said. I just said there was such a possibility. I hope you haven't encountered such a possibility."
Sylvia smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Xiao, in fact, I really encountered this kind of thing. I was cheated.”
Xiao Peng had no expression after hearing this, he just nodded: "Yeah."
"Hmm?" Sylvia was stunned after hearing this: "Mr. Xiao, what does 'hmm' mean?"
Xiao Peng said, "It means 'I understand'."
"That's it?" Sylvia widened her eyes.
Xiao Peng lit a cigarette and said, "How else do you expect me to react? Catch those scammers? Then you should call the police. You want me to scold them? That won't help. As for asking me to sympathize with you? Sorry, I really can't. Those men are indeed scumbags, that's an undeniable fact, but no one forced you to be with them at knifepoint, and no one forced you to pay him. You're tall and good-looking. I heard you've signed a contract with a modeling agency? Then you should have had no shortage of suitors since you were a child, right? Why did you choose that scammer and get cheated? The reason here should only be answered by you yourself."
After hearing what Xiao Peng said, Sylvia didn't know how to respond.
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Of course, what I said is not accurate. If you were my friend and encountered such a thing, I would probably be angry too, and might go and catch those people myself. Of course, if it were my friend, I would also listen to my advice. It seems that Miss Mays tried to persuade you about this matter, right? But it ended up in a bad mood? In this case, you can't blame others, right?"
Sylvia fell silent after hearing this.
Xiao Peng asked, "Why? Are you looking for me just for this? I'm sorry, but I can't help you. You can leave now."
Huang Jing on the side suddenly said: "No, no, no, we have something else to talk to you about."
Xiao Peng tilted his head and said, "Miss Huang, am I right? You're quite clever, knowing how to speak Chinese to me. Can you tell me why you're looking for me?"
Huang Jing asked, "Mr. Xiao, I heard your car was smashed that day?"
"You're quite well-informed." Xiao Peng said, "Oh, I can't say you're well-informed. The person who smashed my car is your accomplice, right?"
"What do you mean by 'accomplice'? That's such a harsh word!" Huang Jing said, "We're just friends."
Xiao Peng said directly: "Tell me, what's the matter."
Huang Jing said, "My boyfriend also went to the bathhouse that day. This was clearly the Hu Ke family's fault, but in the end, it was my boyfriend and his friends who got in trouble..."
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this, but his laughter wasn't joyful; it was rather creepy. Huang Jing couldn't continue.
Don't even mention European police enforcing the law impartially. Nepotism is rampant here. The Delft police have dealt with Xiao Peng before, so they naturally know who he is! When the police saw Xiao Peng during the clash at the bathhouse entrance that day, they immediately arrested everyone on the other side without a word.
Even if Mayor Hook's sister was among them, so what? This was left to Mayor Hook and Xiao Peng to resolve. Hence the incident where Del and Anna came to compensate for the car.
If it were someone else, even if Johannes Hooker came in person, Xiao Peng would not let it go - can you just smash my car?
But when Del Hook and Anna came to Xiao Peng's house, he refused to give them face. He had no choice, since he had slept with someone else's wife. So he stopped pursuing Del's aunt.
This is how society is, it’s easier to get things done if you have connections!
So who was unlucky in the end? Of course, it was the thugs who smashed Xiao Peng's car. Unexpectedly, Huang Jing actually interceded for those thugs.
"I'm sorry, Miss Huang," Xiao Peng said calmly. "Although I admire your relationship with your boyfriend and you've come to me for this matter, I'm sorry you've come to the wrong person. You should have gone to the judge. I believe you should have been taught before going abroad that you must abide by the laws of any country. I'm a law-abiding person, so I won't interfere with the laws of another country."
Huang Jing's eyes widened after hearing this and said, "Mr. Xiao, this is obviously a piece of cake for you, why don't you help me?"
Xiao Peng asked back: "Why should I help you?"
"We are compatriots!" Huang Jing said righteously.
Xiao Peng said directly, "You still have 1.4 billion compatriots. If you need legal assistance abroad, you can also go to the embassy. Sorry, I can't help you with that! Do you have any other questions?"
Lot-Metz spoke at this time: "Mr. Xiao, in fact, I came to see you today for something."
"Oh?" Xiao Peng asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Lot-Metz looked at Xiao Peng and said word by word, "Mr. Xiao, I would like you to do me a favor and introduce me to the project led by Del."
"What?"
