Chapter 1692 An Ordinary Person’s View
Xiao Peng really wanted to strangle Desarev to death.
He never dreamed that the "hotspot for Russian young people" that Desarev mentioned would be like this. Or rather, he never dreamed that Russia's mainstream nightclubs would be like this!
Looking at the nightclub here, Xiao Peng's first reaction was... the dance hall of Daxia in the 1980s that can only be seen in TV dramas nowadays.
Next to the entrance of the square hall is a bar, and next to the walls on the other two sides are a circle of square seats like those in a cafe. To put it in a more vivid way, it is shaped like "bulge, bulge, bulge, bulge, bulge", with a dance floor in the middle. Xiao Peng has never seen a nightclub with such a layout.
And Desarev actually said: This is the most mainstream Russian nightclub, 99% of nightclubs have this style.
Of course, there are also those extremely luxurious nightclubs - but in the words of Desarev, "that is not down-to-earth, it is a paradise for posers and gold diggers." This is the form of nightclub that Russians love most.
Xiao Peng had no doubt about this.
Business here is really good - this nightclub only has a circle of seats at the edge, but now the venue is packed, most people are standing there with bottles of wine. Some people get tired of dancing and just sit down at the edge, regardless of whether they know each other or not, and everyone becomes good friends after a drink.
This also leads to a problem: it is really difficult to evaluate the drinking habits of Russians. It seems that people here either don't drink at all, or they drink just to get drunk. Once they are drunk, they will say all kinds of "God is the boss and I am the second best". Xiao Peng sits here and is constantly teased.
If it were just girls teasing him, it would be a nice experience. But there were also quite a few drunk men here, and Xiao Peng couldn't get angry with them - they were all trying to show goodwill, saying things like "Long live the friendship between the two countries." What could Xiao Peng say? Should he beat them up for this?
Russians have never been a passionate people! But after drinking, they are a different person!
Ethnic discrimination exists worldwide, as does ethnic friendship. Every country has good and bad people. People are never uniform individuals, and their attitudes towards others vary. To generalize based on a single point is always a rogue act.
However, their attitudes towards the Daxia people are also polarized: older Russians are full of contempt for Daxia and yearn for the West, while young people's attitudes towards the Daxia people are getting better and better.
Kasin's explanation for this situation is that it's related to the people of Daxia becoming increasingly wealthy—if you're poor, they look down on you; if you're rich, they flatter you. This is a universal rule.
In fact, this "general rule" can be vividly demonstrated in this nightclub: there are girls doing lap dances here. Some people wave 50 rubles (about 4 yuan) to greet the dancers, but they are met with glares and swear words; but when they see someone waving 500 rubles? The girl will come over and sit on him!
Having said that, young and beautiful Russian girls are indeed pleasing to the eye.
Although the weather is cold now, the girls in the nightclub are dressed cooler than in summer.
Many Russian girls spend the winter in fur coats and bare legs, with a pair of stockings at most. When they get to the cloakroom at the door, they put their coats away and wear cool summer clothes underneath.
It’s pleasing to the eyes!
Xiao Peng likes this place more and more.
Being extremely tacky is trendy. The fact that people can have so much fun in such a shabby place only proves one thing - the people who come here have returned to their roots. Everyone comes here just to have fun.
But the awkwardness came when a girl came to give him a lap dance.
"Why is it you?"
Xiao Peng and the girl shouted in unison.
It turned out that the sexy girl who gave Xiao Peng a lap dance was none other than Dalia, the stewardess he had met on the plane. Although she was now heavily made up, Xiao Peng still recognized her at a glance.
Dalia's expression was extremely awkward after being recognized by Xiao Peng: "Um, Mr. Xiao, why are you here? Are Kasim and Bruch here too?"
Xiao Peng nodded. "Of course I'm here. Look, I'm playing over there! Look, I'm with Joseph and Johnny. They're having more fun without me."
Dalia became even more embarrassed after hearing this: "Mr. Xiao... I want you to understand that I don't want to do this job, I have reasons for doing it."
Xiao Peng simply waved his hand and said, "You don't need to explain to me. No one has the right to dictate other people's lives. Just be happy. Dalia, you're not happy dancing for us, and I'm not happy when I ask you to dance. So..." He dug into his pocket and pulled out a stack of money and handed it to Dalia. "This is definitely more than what you earned dancing tonight. Go and have a rest. I think it's better not to let Kasin and Bruch see you. So, we'll play for a while and then leave. You can come out then."
Dalia burst into tears when she took the money Xiao Peng gave her, then covered her face and ran backstage.
Fabian saw this and laughed, "Dude, what are you doing? We should let Daria dance for us to piss off Kasim and Bruch."
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Are you childish? If Dalia was Alex's woman, it wouldn't matter if you did this to her, but why are you doing this to your own people? Come on, if she still has some shame, don't kick her when she's down. We know each other after all. Why are you being so mean?"
Fabian shrugged and said, "You have no sense of humor at all."
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Don't use so-called 'humor' to cover up your lack of quality."
Fabian curled his lips and said, "No, I can't play with you anymore. You're definitely like the Americans, playing double standards!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, "You French are not bad at playing either!"
"Protest!" Fabian said bluntly, "To generalize from one point is just rude. We are good friends."
Cherichev, who was standing nearby, suddenly asked, "Mr. Xiao, there's something I've been wondering about. Perhaps you can give me an answer."
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "What's the matter that you don't understand?"
Cherichev said, "Whether it's Europe or the US, why do Western countries always treat us so badly? 'We' refers to Russia and you, Daxia."
Desarev interrupted him with a dry cough: "Cheryshev!"
He interrupted Chelishev and said to Xiao Peng, "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry. Chelishev is still young, so he has so many doubts. Chelishev, don't disturb Mr. Xiao's fun for such a stupid thing! Isn't the training you received from the bureau enough?"
Cherichev said hurriedly: "Boss, the Daxia people are our allies. I just want to know what our allies think about this issue."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "Cheryshev, I can only answer you from an ordinary person's perspective on this question. After all, I'm not a member of a national leadership think tank. Do you want to hear the opinions of an ordinary person?"
“I couldn’t ask for more!”
