Chapter 225 That’s Pure Nonsense
Not long after, Lao Wu and three other people walked in. One was Shao Feng, another was Tian Hao, and the other girl was a stranger.
But the girl was quite pretty, wearing a light blue dress and carrying a small bag, with long straight black hair and delicate makeup.
When Shao Feng saw Xiao Peng after entering the room, he burst out laughing: "Peng Peng! Lao Wu said you were here and I thought he was kidding me!"
Xiao Peng and Shao Feng hugged each other. "I was also shocked when Rongrong told me about you. You've become a wealthy man!"
"Hey, I'm not a rich man. I'm just lucky." Shao Feng declined.
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "'Fate' is an excuse for the weak, and 'luck' is a humble term for the strong. Now you have the demeanor of a strong man!"
Shao Feng spread his hands and said, "If you insist on saying that, then I'll accept it reluctantly! I went to France last summer, but I was in Paris, not Marseille. I wanted to go see you at first, but something unexpected happened, so I didn't go."
"Ah? What emergency?" Xiao Peng asked.
Shao Feng looked embarrassed: "Of course it's love!"
Xiao Peng was stunned: "You found a French girl?"
Shao Feng shook his head and said, "No, I met a compatriot who was traveling there. It was love at first sight! Luckily, I was able to win her over. She's now my fiancée!"
Xiao Peng raised his middle finger: "You bastard! You have no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex!"
Shao Feng laughed heartily: "I'll drink three cups as punishment!"
Seeing the two chatting enthusiastically, Tian Hao coughed twice: no one in the room paid any attention to him, so he coughed twice to make his presence felt.
Zhang Chuyun smoothed things over: "You still remember Tian Hao, right? He went to high school with us for a year! We went to college in the same city back then, and he knew I was getting married so he came all the way to see me."
After hearing what Zhang Chuyun said, everyone felt that it was not a good idea to leave Tian Hao out in the cold, so they all greeted him.
"Is this Tian Hao?"
“I haven’t seen such a big change in a few years!”
“I’ve become more handsome!”
"But the height hasn't changed."
After hearing this, Tian Hao said, "Let me introduce you all, this is my girlfriend Qiao Xinxin."
"Hey, flowers stuck in cow dung, Tian Hao, your girlfriend is so beautiful!"
"Yeah, like a movie star."
Everyone was talking over there, and Tian Hao looked quite proud. He looked at Xiao Peng and said, "Xiao Peng, you just came back from France? Why don't you stay there? Are you going back to China to develop your career? After all, it's better to come back than to make a living abroad."
Xiao Peng felt uncomfortable listening to this. He looked up and asked, "Tian Hao, aren't you hot?"
It is the hottest time of the year, but Tian Hao is wearing a suit.
Of course, wearing a suit in the summer isn't unusual; after all, the French wear suits for certain occasions in the summer. Xiao Peng also has summer suits, and he has several of them, including linen, ultra-fine merino wool, and mohair. Wearing a suit to a nightclub there is more likely to attract women than wearing casual clothes.
But even if Xiao Peng wears a suit in summer, he will not wear a "three-piece suit". There is a vest between the suit and the shirt, and a tie, which makes people feel hot just by looking at it.
Tian Hao didn't take it seriously: "I'm used to it! I've been dealing with Japanese people for years. This is how you dress when you're dealing with people over there."
Liu Baorong said, "Brother, which of us looks like a Japanese?"
After he finished speaking, Han Xue poked him and signaled him to stop talking.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, Zhang Chuyun hurriedly said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Let's sit down and chat slowly! Husband, let them serve the food!"
Lao Wu hurriedly asked the waiter to serve the food and everyone sat down.
Shao Feng asked Xiao Peng, "Pengpeng, when will you return to France?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. My grandpa is still in the hospital."
"Ah? Are you okay?" asked Lao Wu.
"Fortunately, he's recovering well." Xiao Peng said, "Actually, I wanted to stay here to take care of my grandpa, but it seems like my grandpa can't wait for me to leave."
Before Shao Feng could answer, Tian Hao on the side said, "Xiao Peng, I think you should just stay in China. Doing something in China is better than washing dishes outside!"
"How can you say that?" Liu Baorong snorted coldly, "Xiao Peng is a first-class diver in Marseille."
He didn't feel confident after saying this, but it wasn't because he felt he was bragging to Xiao Peng, but because Xiao Peng's performance in the hospital that night really didn't look like a diver!
Tian Hao blinked after hearing this: "A first-class diver? Isn't that still a diver? How much can you earn in a month?"
Xiao Peng did not answer this question, but instead asked: "Tian Hao, what are you doing now? Why are you still dealing with the Japanese?"
Tian Hao perked up after hearing this: "Oh, I haven't done anything these years. After graduating from university, I went to Japan and invested in several properties there to run a B&B. You know, Chinese people are rich now, so they travel everywhere. There are so many Chinese tourists in Japan, and I can make a fortune quickly by earning their room fees. What do you think? Are you interested? I have properties here that you can invest in!"
"Oh my god, how much does this cost!" someone exclaimed after hearing this.
Tian Hao waved his hand. "House prices in Japan are only high in the three major metropolitan areas. Buying a house in the countryside is incredibly cheap! You don't have to worry about it after you buy it. Someone will take care of it. Just wait for the return! The annual rate of return starts at at least 8 percentage points!"
Liu Baorong frowned and said disdainfully, "The housing prices there are low, but the Japanese won't buy and we're asked to buy? And we can make money if we buy? Aren't the Japanese stupid, according to you?"
Tian Hao disapproved after hearing this and said, "That's why I say you should go out more and see the world. Don't stay at home all day like a frog in a well. The Japanese are always learning from the West. Even though it's close to us, it's actually a Western country. The Japanese, like people in Western countries, don't like to buy houses. We Chinese are the only ones in the world who buy houses wherever we go!"
Han Xue was very unhappy to hear Tian Hao say this about her husband. She turned to Xiao Peng and asked, "Pengpeng, is he right?"
Xiao Peng didn't even bother with Tian Hao. He was still chatting with Shao Feng. When he heard Han Xue calling him, he said, "Ah? What's going on? I wasn't listening at all. I don't believe in free lunches!"
Han Xue felt much more relieved after hearing Xiao Peng's words. She said to Xiao Peng, "Tian Hao just said that Westerners don't like to buy houses. Is that true?"
Xiao Peng laughed heartily after hearing this. "Westerners don't like to buy houses? That's bullshit! There's not a single person on this planet who doesn't want a nice house! Look at what those basketball stars do first after they get rich? They buy mansions! I know a French friend who, after making nine million, the first thing he did was spend over eight million on a house! Xue'er, remember this from now on: if anyone tells you that foreigners don't like to buy houses, just slap them in the face! That's pure nonsense!"
