Chapter 1441 I’ll Treat You This Time
If someone else said that he was going to donate such precious jewelry for free, Yu Beier would definitely not believe him, but when it came from Xiao Peng's mouth, he actually believed it!
After all, he worked in intelligence. He knew all these things, such as Xiao Peng gave the ruby jewelry of Princess Sissi, who had been missing for many years, to Anna; and gave the ring that the Duke of Westminster gave to Chanel to Marlene Walter!
These are all priceless treasures but Xiao Peng just gave them away casually. It can only be said that Xiao Peng has too many good things in his hands and doesn't treasure the treasures anymore!
Inside the Xiao Pavilion is a French Pavilion, housing a vast collection of treasures stolen from France by Germany. The French Pavilion boasts an incredible number of exhibits, with new pieces regularly replacing old ones. God knows how many French treasures Xiao Peng possesses!
If you have too many treasures, they won't be treasures anymore! If you have so many treasures like Xiao Peng, you can just give them away to others!
Unfortunately, such things can only be thought about.
"Xiao, Jules Delma and I are good friends personally. This incident has nothing to do with him. How about we have a good talk about it?" Yu Beier said.
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "There's really no room for negotiation on this matter. I went to yesterday's cocktail party because Billy invited me. He's a shareholder there, and what happened? My companion was bullied, and Billy stood up for me, but he has to take the blame? If it weren't for Billy, how could I have gone to that cocktail party? This is fine, I saved myself the trouble! Hubert, we are old friends, and I don't want to disappoint you - but this time I have to shake my head and say NO to you. There is no room for negotiation. I think there are some things I don't need to say. I don't even get basic respect! I originally planned to stay in Paris for a while, but now I have decided to return to the Netherlands as soon as possible. You also know that Vincent wants to talk to me about something."
Yu Beier said hurriedly: "Xiao, don't be so anxious, there is room for negotiation."
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I said there's no room for negotiation this time."
Yu Beier sighed after hearing this: "Xiao, if that's the case, I won't try to persuade you. I'll tell them what you mean and let them decide for themselves. Can I take a look at those sets of jewelry?"
"Of course." Xiao Peng stood up and walked to the cabinet next to him and opened the door: "Come and take a look!"
Yu Beier walked to the cabinet and was a little confused when he saw it: "Why are there so many jewelry?"
Xiao Peng said calmly, "Is that a lot? Hubert, I won't lie to my friends. I can tell you, I have at least tens of thousands of pieces of antique jewelry like this. Of course, the prices vary. In a few days, the Xiao Pavilion should be holding an exhibition of European antique jewelry. You can go to Daxia to visit it."
"Why are there so many? Where did you get them?" Yu Beier exclaimed.
Xiao Peng said calmly, "Everyone knows what I do. Do I need to tell you where I got these things? Okay, Yu Beier, don't let these annoying people affect our friendship. Let's not talk about this anymore."
After hearing this, Yu Beier nodded and suddenly said, "Xiao, you haven't been back to France for so long, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. I would like to treat you to a meal. I wonder if you would honor me?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I should be the one treating you to a meal! So, don't leave. I'll have our chef prepare a good meal for you."
After he finished speaking, he pressed the intercom on the table: "Bruch, you and Kasin, wake up those drunks on the boat and tell them to get out! And have Valissa and her team clean up quickly! Tell Hua Chong to clean up the swimming pool and change the water. And tell Lao Liu that we have a distinguished guest coming today, and have him quickly prepare a menu for me to review!"
"Okay, boss!" came Bruch's voice.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Yu Beier, the cooking skills of the chefs on our ship are top-notch. Come and experience the cooking skills of a top Chinese chef!"
Yu Beier quickly said, "Xiao, I appreciate your kindness, but this time I have to treat you to a meal. You always treat me to meals, so this time it has to be my turn! Bernard Packard and I are good friends. I'll treat you to the 'Dining Hall of the Gods'!"
Xiao Peng whistled, "This is the glutinous rice chicken that has been plucked!"
Hubert was notoriously stingy, his words sanctimonious, but he was actually more greedy than anyone else. Back when Xiao Peng was in France, he'd given him plenty of "training fees" and "speaking fees." Was he treating him to a meal? Or was he treating him to the "Café des Gods"?
Despite being headquartered in France, Michelin's professionalism is evident in the fact that Paris, despite being brimming with restaurants, boasts no fewer than ten three-star Michelin hotels. The most famous of these is undoubtedly the "La Cantina des Dei" (The Gods' Restaurant). Its owner, Bernard Pacaud, is considered a "mastermind" of French cuisine. Since its first three-star rating in 1988, it has remained undefeated. It's considered a Parisian landmark restaurant, a frequent stop for celebrities and dignitaries.
But it turns out that Xiao Peng has never been there to eat in all the time he has lived in Paris.
It's not because the prices there are high, but because the business there is so hot that the queue is too long! Xiao Peng is not a person who likes to queue.
"Xiao, it's settled!" Yu Beier said, "No matter what, it's my turn to treat you this time!"
Xiao Peng was about to say something when Yu Beier stood up and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to go back, Xiao. It's not easy for you to come back. We haven't seen each other for so long. Can we have a good chat over dinner tonight?"
Xiao Peng said, "Yu Beier, you should stay with me. You know my family is so rich and powerful, and there are so many people here. It would be embarrassing to ask you to treat us to a meal."
Yu Beier said directly, "Alright, Xiao, don't be so polite with me. I told you Bernard and I are good friends. Today, the 'Gods' Restaurant' has canceled all reservations and will only open for us."
Xiao Peng was stunned: "You made preparations before coming here!"
Yu Beier smiled and said, "Of course, after all, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How could I not prepare in advance?"
Xiao Peng gave a thumbs up. "Okay, since you've arranged it this way, let's meet at the 'Dining Hall of the Gods' that evening. What time?"
"Nine o'clock!" said Hubert.
Xiao Peng nodded: "Okay!"
Yu Beier said, "I still have some official business to attend to. See you tonight."
Xiao Peng almost laughed out loud after hearing this: "Do you still have business to deal with? You clearly want to go back and discuss countermeasures with someone, right?"
Do you really think I can donate these things to France for free? Could you be more naive? I just said it casually to make you laugh.
And I’m giving it to you for free?
Do you really think I'm stupid?
