Chapter 382: Untidy clothes?
Thanks to these stupid robbers, Xiao Peng was able to kill quite a bit of time. However, when they arrived at the guildhall, they witnessed the Parisian people's stubbornness.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, but anyone not properly dressed is not allowed to enter here."
Although Xiao Peng and his friends had an invitation letter, they were still stopped by the security guard.
"Disheveled?" Xiao Peng looked at the three of them, all dressed in suits. Even if he had run for a while while chasing someone, that had nothing to do with being 'disheveled'!
Walter coughed twice: "Boss, tie!"
"Damn!" Xiao Peng finally realized that he was not wearing a tie. If he wore a tie, wouldn't he be a bodyguard just like Walter and the others?
As a result, this became "disheveled".
In fact, it's not their fault. It's an unwritten rule here that men can go without underwear when attending formal occasions, but they must have something around their necks, whether it's a tie or a bow tie.
Although Xiao Peng is rich, he has always been hanging out in Marseille, where things are not as sophisticated as here, and he himself rarely attends such high-class gatherings, so he really doesn't understand the ins and outs here.
After all, this was his apprentice's charity concert, so Xiao Peng couldn't afford to lose his temper. He said apologetically, "Excuse me, how about this? My apprentice is inside. Can I go in and get a tie from him?"
The waiter shook his head and said, "Sir, I know that those who are invited to this concert are either rich or noble, and you must be a person of status. But this is my job. If I let you in, I will lose my job. I hope you understand. Otherwise, you can ask your friend wearing a tie to go in and get it for you before you enter?"
Now Xiao Peng couldn't lose his temper anymore - the other person was being so reasonable, so he bullied him?
According to him, anyone who works hard deserves respect, regardless of social status. So he's using his power to bully others? Haha, if he did that, he'd look down on himself.
Kasin said at this time: "Boss, can't I just give you my tie? I'll wait for you outside."
Xiao Peng shook his head. "If you want to go in, go in. I'll call Felix and ask him to send me a tie or bow tie."
Just as he took out his phone, a horn honked behind him. He looked back and saw a Ferrari sports car behind him motioning him to move aside so he could get in. Seeing Xiao Peng looking back at him, the young man driving the car waved at him smugly, motioning Xiao Peng to move aside quickly.
When I was in China, I always heard people say that foreigners buy cars as a means of transportation instead of luxury cars. After I came abroad, I realized that this statement was a typical case of sour grapes.
Don't buy luxury cars? That's because you don't have the money! If foreigners really didn't buy luxury cars, those luxury car manufacturers would have closed down long ago! For foreigners, luxury cars are also their "identity cards"! This is the same everywhere in the world!
Xiao Peng stayed in a hotel in District 16 last night, which was not far from here, so he didn't rent a car. But this guy looked at him with contempt?
Criticize!
I can’t stand the charity concert of my own apprentice!
Xiao Peng patted Walter and Kasin, who were standing aside with angry faces, and signaled them to get out of the way. This is Felix's big deal! Don't cause him any trouble.
The young man drove over with a smug look on his face. He handed the invitation to the guard for inspection and then said to Xiao Peng, "Hey, buddy, why are you standing at the door and not going in? Don't you have an invitation? This place is not a place where anyone can come. You need an invitation to enter!"
Xiao Peng took a deep breath to calm himself down. He was afraid that he would lose control and slap him. "Thank you for your kindness. I have an invitation."
The young man was stunned after hearing this. After looking Xiao Peng up and down, he suddenly sneered, "Hey, buddy, can you speak French? I don't understand what you're saying!"
Xiao Peng really couldn't control his temper this time.
There's a reason why Marseilles dislike Parisians! Parisians look down on anyone outside of Paris. Especially those from the south of Paris.
They even passed a law prohibiting people from mocking others' accents. This bill passed overwhelmingly. Accent discrimination is so severe in France that even joking about accents is now illegal. Accent discrimination is a crime, and serious offenses can result in up to three years in prison.
Accents and dialects are common in every country and are a normal occurrence. However, in France, accents can lead to significant regional discrimination. After all, in France, anyone outside of Paris is considered "provincial." Parisians pride themselves on their standard French pronunciation and look down on those with accents from other regions, particularly those from the south. This is a point that will be vividly remembered by those who have seen the French film "Welcome to the North."
In their country, Prime Minister Castex, who is from southwestern France, has always been ridiculed for his southern accent. A few months after he took office, he gave a public speech. People were not interested in the content of his speech, but instead commented on his accent.
The French Minister of Culture even publicly stated on a TV talk show, "His accent is as harsh as the mountains!"; EU lawmakers also commented on the new Prime Minister on the show, saying, "Listening to him speak feels like being on vacation in the South." ... . . . . . . There were even some French netizens who 'enthusiastically' made a special video of the Prime Minister's accent and posted it online for people to laugh at.
Now, the new law has been enacted.
In France, accent discrimination has now reached the level of racial and gender discrimination. However, this law has only been in place for less than a month, so many people still can't change this habit. This young man clearly has that problem.
Xiao Peng learned French in Marseille, so naturally he had a strong Marseille accent. This guy's words were clearly discriminating against his accent.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Xiao Peng frowned.
"Hey, why are you so fierce?" The young man frowned after hearing this: "Don't you have a sense of humor? Don't they say Southerners have a good sense of humor?"
Xiao Peng frowned: "Do I know you? Are you kidding me?"
The young man scoffed, "Dude, don't think you can act arrogant just because you have a few bodyguards. This is Paris! Only country bumpkins would need a few bodyguards to boost their status!"
Xiao Peng was completely furious. He lowered his head and grabbed the bottom of the Ferrari and lifted it up hard. Half of the Ferrari was in the air, which scared the young people in the car.
Xiao Peng was about to turn him upside down when suddenly several women's voices came over: "Xiao, what are you doing?"
"Wow, Xiao, you should compete in the World's Strongest Man competition!"
"Hehe, I didn't expect to see you here again. We were planning to look for you in a few days!"
Xiao Peng looked in the direction of the voice and asked, "Uh, why are you here too?"
