Chapter 184 Eating snacks and watching the fun
The door of the house opened and Khedira, who stayed at home to guard, came out.
"Boss, I didn't know they were your friends so I didn't let them in," said Khedira.
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "You did the right thing. They are not my friends. I still don't understand why they came here. Please help pull this cart in. Where are Bellucci and Bruch?"
Khedira explained: "Beluzi knew you were coming back and went to the market to buy food. Bruch followed her."
Xiao Peng looked back at Walter and said, "You guys are still very dedicated!"
Walter shrugged: "We are professionals..."
Kasin continued, "Professional movers!"
He was pushing a small ball-wheeled cart commonly seen on docks, which contained a canvas-wrapped object. It was, of course, the rhodium salvaged this time.
This ball-wheeled cart is similar to a Chinese wheelbarrow, but with a ball on the wheel. Don't underestimate this small difference; the spherical tires give the cart increased stability, allowing it to maneuver smoothly on any surface and carry a high load. It's incredibly popular here.
Even if such heavy rhodium was placed in a small cart, not everyone could push it. Pascal and Fabian couldn't push it at all, and they couldn't let Xiao Peng push it. In the end, Kasim and Walter took turns pushing it back.
Xiao Peng patted Kasim's shoulder and said, "You'll find this porter's job worthwhile. Let's go back."
"Mr. Xiao, what about us?" another girl at the door asked Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng said with a bitter face, "Ms. Deborah, I really don't know why you came to see me? Your name is Clementine Jablonski, right? You should be lying in the hospital now, right? The bruises on your face haven't even disappeared yet, so why did you run to my door? If someone didn't know, they would think I hurt you like this!"
The two girls at his door were none other than the two thieves, Clementine and Deborah. Deborah was a bit better, but Clementine should be lying in the hospital right now, with bruises all over her face and bandages wrapped around her hands.
Clementine said, "The hospital let us out. They said I'm over the critical period and just need to find a place to rest. We don't want to take up public medical resources."
Xiao Peng said, "Then find a place to rest! Why are you looking for me?"
Deborah coughed twice and said, "Mr. Xiao, you left us a thousand yuan. We are here to pay you back!"
"Pay back the money?" Xiao Peng waved his hand. "I told you at the time that this money is from me and you don't have to pay it back."
Clementine quickly said, "We're not beggars! How could we possibly take your money for free? We have to pay it back!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, "Okay, then you can return the money to me and go back."
"Huh?" Clementine and Deborah were both stunned by Xiao Peng's words. "Why don't you just play by the rules? Just ask us to pay you back?"
"Aren't you here to pay back the money?" Xiao Peng turned to Fabian and said, "Don't just stand there. Transport the things back first!"
Fabian shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I can't miss such a fun thing!"
Pascal also nodded. He didn't even know where he took out a box of potato chips and opened it. Was he just eating snacks and watching the fun?
Walter and Kasin said, "Boss, we are so tired from pushing this guy back. It's all uphill all the way. We need to rest!"
Xiao Peng really wanted to give them the middle finger.
Clementine looked at Xiao Peng and said, "We are indeed here to repay the money, but...we have already spent it."
Xiao Peng's face darkened after hearing this: "You've already spent the money, why are you still saying you'll pay it back? Wait until you have money before paying it back! Don't just stand there, get to work!"
"Xiao, you're not a gentleman!" Fabian complained.
Pascal and the others nodded frantically, and Pascal had already started sharing potato chips with everyone. They didn't want to see this farce end.
I haven’t seen enough yet!
Xiao Peng was so angry that he wanted to curse: "What on earth are you trying to do? You say you're here to pay back the money, but you say you don't have any money!"
After hearing this, Deborah said, "We don't have money now, but we can pay it back by working!"
"You guys? Work?" Xiao Peng came back to his senses and pointed at his nose and asked, "You mean you want to work for me and pay me back?"
The two girls nodded vigorously.
Xiao Peng's eyes widened. "You work for me? What can you do? What can you do?" He pointed to the cart beside him and said, "Come on, push the cart and see how it works. If you can push it, I'll hire you!"
Deborah walked straight towards the cart to try it out, but Fabian spoke up again: "Xiao, this isn't fair! I can't even push this cart!"
Deborah looked at Fabian and then at herself and decided it would be better not to try.
Xiao Peng said angrily, "Fabian, shut up! Whose side are you on?"
Fabian said righteously: "I am on the side of justice!"
Xiao Peng raised his middle finger directly in his face: "I won't be serving you dinner tonight! This is the price you have to pay for your justice!"
Pascal pointed at Deborah and Clementine and said, "Xiao, I think you'd better solve the problem at hand first. Eating will come later."
Deborah quickly said, "Mr. Xiao, even if we can't do physical labor, we can do other things!"
"Do something else?" Xiao Peng asked Deborah after hearing this: "Then tell me, what will you do?"
Clementine looked a bit proud when she heard this. "Deborah and I were both contracted models for a modeling agency, which is why we came to France. I'm confident I can sing well."
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this: "Oh, so you can do nothing but steal things."
"Ah?" Clementine and Deborah looked at Xiao Peng together after hearing this.
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "Was I wrong? You don't have any skills to support yourselves except stealing! What do I need you for? To keep you as a vase?"
Deborah thought for a moment and said, "We can be your female secretary!"
Xiao Peng sneered, "Being a secretary? Do you think being a secretary is that easy? Do you have enough knowledge? Do you have the ability to write official documents? Do you have enough professionalism? Do you have professional integrity? Do you think being a secretary means just dressing up beautifully and standing next to the boss with long legs, fair skin and a good figure? Then you're just a vase! I told you, you don't have any other skills to support yourselves except stealing!"
Clementine couldn't help but say, "We're willing to steal? Isn't it all to survive? We were doing fine back home, but suddenly we received a contract notice from a modeling agency. We came to France to pursue our dreams! But when we got here, we found out it's completely different! It's a butchering company! We stole things to survive, but now we have no place to live in Marseille because we stole a cell phone!"
"Huh? Stolen a cell phone?"
