Chapter 1520: Making friends with you? Too expensive
Just after dinner, the family had a guest: William came from The Hague. Xiao Peng thought he was there for his disaster relief work, but it turned out that William was not there for that matter.
"Your intelligence is really good. You already know what happened in Paris?" Xiao Peng exclaimed.
William smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that our intelligence is good, but that the whole world knows it!"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "They asked me to keep it a secret, so why isn't this kept secret over there?"
William said, "Well, they did want to keep it secret, but the leak is definitely related to you. You drove their car and dropped those people off there, and a reporter spotted you. How sharp are Parisian journalists? They just broke the news. This morning, someone threw Molotov cocktails at the Psychological Rehabilitation Center in the northern suburbs of Paris, and the employees' cars in the parking lot were doused with gasoline and burned to scrap metal! How could I not know about such big news? Just wait, in a few days, reporters will definitely come here to dig deeper."
Xiao Peng whistled: "The French people really love to fight! Why would a reporter want to see me? Anyway, if you ask me, I can only say four words: no comment."
"I hope you can hold on. By the way, Abby contacted me today." William said.
Xiao Peng said "Oh" and said nothing.
William said angrily: "Can't you stop playing video games? Listen to me carefully?"
Xiao Peng picked up a nearby controller and said, "Can't you play games with me and chat while we play?"
William had no choice but to imitate Xiao Peng and sit cross-legged in front of the TV. He muttered, "I'm the King of the Netherlands after all. What will people say when they see me like this?"
Xiao Peng said cheerfully, "How many friends do you have who don't treat you like a king?"
William rolled his eyes at Xiao Peng and said, "Being friends with you? It's too expensive!"
Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "How about I return the house to you? You really think I like it here? Look at this place, the whole house is flooded. Let me tell you, my favorite thing about this entire manor is actually this house converted from the observatory. Didn't you see I'm not even in the villa in front? Just be content. If you weren't someone I truly considered a friend, I wouldn't let you in here."
William nodded and said, "Your idea of converting the observatory into a house is really great. Do you really want to return the house to me? And this observatory as well?"
"..." Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at William: "I'll dig it out and take it away! Okay, you said Abby called you? Is she okay now?"
After hearing this, William said, "I thought you wouldn't ask! What would you think if I said she came to me for money?"
Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this and put down the game controller in his hand: "She needs money? What does she need money for? Did something happen?"
William curled his lips and said, "You haven't seen her in Paris for so long. Is it interesting to pretend to care about her now?"
Xiao Peng ignored William's teasing and asked William, "What on earth does she want the money for?"
William said: "After learning about the scandal at the Psychological Rehabilitation Center in the northern suburbs of Paris today, she wants to open a psychological rehabilitation hospital."
"WHAT?" Xiao Peng exclaimed, "Her brain has been taken out? Why would a brain surgeon like her run a mental rehabilitation hospital?"
William replied, "That's what I asked her. She told me she wanted to really help patients!"
Xiao Peng snorted coldly after hearing this, "What nonsense! With problems like this at the Northern Suburbs Rehabilitation Center, their director must definitely bear responsibility for poor management. But for such a large hospital, it's irresponsible to put all the blame on the director alone! There are institutional issues, management issues, and even issues with the staff themselves. Even if I opened her the world's largest and most advanced mental rehabilitation hospital, problems would still arise! Her idea is good, but unrealistic!"
William said distressedly: "I told her the same thing, but she didn't listen. Don't you understand Abby? She is more stubborn than anyone else! It's hard to change her mind about things she has made up her mind."
Xiao Peng sighed after hearing this and said, "How could I not know? Look, I've been in Paris for so long and she hasn't even contacted me!"
"Shut up!" William suddenly became angry. "Are you a man? You should have been the one looking for her! Are all men the same? Do you think all women in the world should revolve around you?"
Xiao Peng was also anxious: "I'm looking for her? Why should I look for her? Since we've broken up, don't disturb each other's lives! Don't fucking tell me that we can still be friends after breaking up. The two lines only have one intersection, so if you miss it, you miss it!"
William glared and slammed the table. "I finally know what's wrong with you, kid! I've never seen anyone as extreme as you! What do you mean by 'missed it, missed it'? What are you going to do with Lobachevsky?"
Xiao Peng was stunned. He blinked and looked at William: "You still know Lobachevsky?"
According to the theory of Euclid, the "Father of Geometry", "parallel lines never intersect", and everyone has learned this. However, the Russian genius mathematician Lobachevsky created the "Lobachevsky Geometry" to challenge Euclid. According to his theory, parallel lines can intersect.
When he was alive, this theory was ridiculed, but after his death, his research results were recognized and confirmed. Now "Lobachevsky geometry" is also valued, and he is also called "the Copernicus and Van Gogh of geometry" - all of which became famous after his death.
William snorted coldly, "Do you think you're the only one studying on earth? I don't care. Now I'm not talking to you as your friend William, I'm talking to you as 'Abby's father'! You're so cool every day, do you know what Abby is like now? After I leave, call Abby and ask her about her situation! She wants to open a hospital, you have to persuade her to stop!"
Xiao Peng sighed and softened his tone. "William, are you sure you want me to call her? If I contact her, the biggest outcome would be to open her the best hospital in the world, but doing so would very likely harm her. Do you want her to go into management or academia? If she goes into management, all the medical skills she's learned for so many years will be wasted. If she goes into academia? Then her hospital might become the next Beijiao Mental Rehabilitation Hospital."
"That's your problem!" William said, "Tell Abby these things yourself!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng sighed and said, "Forget it. I'll call Abby after you leave!"
"Why can't we fight now?" William asked.
Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at William and said, "Are you sure we won't talk about other things?"
William gave Xiao Peng the middle finger.
There are not many fathers in the world who would be interested in what their daughters do in bed...
