Chapter 1421 Your Educational Method is So Unique
As they chatted, they arrived at the main entrance of the Navy Mansion. A guard opened the door and invited them in. Inside, a waiter led them up to the second floor: the first floor of the Navy Mansion was open to the public, while the second floor was where the dinner would be held.
When we arrived at the banquet hall on the second floor, there were already many people standing there chatting.
This kind of cocktail party is not a place for dining. Although there are various buffet desserts prepared nearby, not many people eat. It is a social place.
Moreover, most of the people here are celebrities, the kind with eye sockets on the top of their heads. They won't make a fuss when someone comes in. A few people didn't make a fuss when they saw Xiao Peng and the others enter - they didn't know them. Only a few people knew Billy and greeted him.
As for Jelena and Ilka, they were already excited:
"Look, look, German supermodel Diane Kruger!"
"That's French socialite Cindy Bruna!"
"See? Victoria's Secret Angel Natasha Poly!"
"Oh my god! That's Katy Perry!"
The 'Katy Perry' they are talking about is not pop singer Katy Perry, but Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova.
This sister's life is legendary: she was abandoned by her father when she was two years old, dropped out of school as a teenager, and made money by selling fruits on the street when she was eleven years old, thus earning the nickname "Fruit Sister".
At the age of fourteen, she was discovered by a scout while selling fruit and embarked on the path of modeling. In order to be able to go abroad to walk the runway, she learned English in a short period of time, and then her life became smooth sailing. At the age of nineteen, she married Justin Portman, a British aristocrat who was thirteen years older than her.
After becoming a wealthy wife, Katy Perry gave birth to three children with her husband, but she did not give up her career. At that time, she had many contracts and reached the peak of her career!
When she reached the peak of her career, she did another surprising thing: she announced her retirement from modeling to study design and devote herself to charity, establishing a fund dedicated to helping poor children.
But at the age of 25, the couple announced their divorce without warning, and Katy Perry raised three children by herself. Just when people thought she was going to lose hope, she soon had a new boyfriend, Anthony Arnold, and the two had two more children and then got married.
Who is this Anthony Arnold? He's the eldest son of Bernard Arnold, France's richest man and founder of the LVMH Group. In other words, Katy Perry is now the crown princess of the LVMH Group. Brands that have captivated countless young men and women—LV, Bulgari, KENZO, Fendi, Dior, Givenchy, Guerlain, Hennessy, Dom Pérignon, Veuve Clicquot, and many more—including today's featured brand, Chaumet—are all owned by his family!
Of course, the rumors about her have never stopped, such as the nonsense that she "relies on men to get to the top": 100% of those who say this are out of jealousy - "Katy Perry" is indeed very beautiful, but the fact that she was able to marry Anthony Arnold, a super rich second-generation who has seen too many beautiful women and socialites, at the age of 28 with three children, is not just because of her beauty!
In any case, she lived the life that most women wanted to live. No wonder Jelena and Ilka were so excited, and even Kiki's eyes were shining.
Just like Xiao Peng said, they used to dream of entering the so-called "upper class" and becoming the best, but they always felt something was strange about Xiao Peng's life. Xiao Peng's life was not quite the same as the upper class life they had imagined. Now they finally witnessed a real upper class gathering.
The reception didn't publicize Xiao Peng's arrival: firstly, this would draw attention to Xiao Peng, which would cause him to resent it. Secondly, it wouldn't fit the image of such a high-end reception—attending are all upper-class people, and even if they were excited about Xiao Peng's arrival, they couldn't show it. This would make the reception seem too low-brow.
This was a welcome relief for Xiao Peng. Just then, a waiter carrying champagne passed by. Xiao Peng grabbed a glass, thanked the waiter, and said to Jelena and the other three, "Haven't you always yearned for the so-called 'high society'? Look, this is a typical high society gathering. I brought you here today to open your eyes and see what it's all about."
Jelena was about to speak when Xiao Peng interrupted her with a wave of his hand. "From now on, I'll leave you three alone. You'll have to figure out how to fit in here. I can tell you it's going to be very difficult. Even if you're wearing the most expensive clothes and the finest jewelry, people here will still know instantly that you don't belong here."
"Why? What gives you the right to say that?" Jelena asked unconvinced.
"Confidence!" Xiao Peng said succinctly, "Why do rich people look so good when they pretend to be poor? And why can poor people pretending to be rich be seen at a glance? It's because of confidence. I used to be poor, and I've experienced that kind of insecurity; and I've also experienced this kind of confidence now. Moreover, pretending to be poor doesn't require any cost, knowledge, or insight, while pretending to be rich does require all of that—let me put it this way, those who pretend to be rich are deceiving people just like them. That's where the gap lies between you. You don't have enough confidence, knowledge, and insight. These things can't be taught to you with words; you have to feel them for yourself. So this is your stage, and it's up to you from now on!"
Billy whistled softly on the side: "Xiao, your education method is really unique."
Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Alright, it's boring here. I'm going to go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette. Let's go have some fun. Come find me if you need anything!"
Billy was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed: "Okay, go ahead, I'll help you take care of them. I didn't realize you were still such a proud person!"
Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "What are you guessing about? We Daxia people say 'jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished'. They need to hone themselves... huh?"
Billy was stunned: "What do you mean by 'hmm'?"
Xiao Peng suddenly laughed: "Kasin, you and Bruch, don't follow me, let's see if you can fit in like this!"
"Boss, isn't this a piece of cake for us?" Kasim said disdainfully, "What are you talking about? Have you ever seen a pig run before? We have no interest in such occasions!"
Xiao Peng pouted in one direction and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to date Irina Shayk? Look, here's your chance. Isn't she right there? It all depends on whether you have what it takes!"
"Um, Boss, I suddenly thought that being your bodyguard also requires a certain aura. Although I'm not interested in such occasions, I still need to hone myself here. Bruch, you stay with the boss!"
"……roll!"
