Chapter 413: Terrifying Narcissism
Xiao Peng then took a closer look at the girl. Honestly, he felt like punching Clementine for saying Douglas had two beautiful young women around him. Honestly, the girl Xiao Peng had just kicked out was indeed pretty. But the one who stayed behind, well, young enough, but as for beauty? Well, judging by appearances is wrong... That's why Xiao Peng hadn't even looked at her the whole time...
And this girl weighed at least 170 pounds. Xiao Peng was afraid she would break his sofa!
But this girl was clearly a bit unusual. The confidence she exuded when she spoke just now wasn't fake. It was a confidence that came from the bottom of her heart.
"Ma'am, do you have anything else to say?" Xiao Peng asked in confusion.
Although the girl was young and of average appearance, she had a very strong aura. She did not rush to answer Xiao Peng's question, but instead looked Xiao Peng up and down first.
Xiao Peng frowned slightly. What kind of bad habits are these? They act like politicians!
Anyway, he found that politicians all had this habit of examining the other person before speaking, as if they wanted to overwhelm the other person with their aura.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I don't have time to waste!" Xiao Peng frowned slightly. He then looked at the girl carefully. She had brown hair, jeans and a purple embroidered shirt. Her outfit was very ordinary. Her eyes drooped at the corners and she wore light makeup.
It's strange to say, he always felt that he had seen this girl somewhere.
But after thinking about it, this result was impossible. After all, he has been in Europe and has hardly had any dealings with Americans.
After hearing Xiao Peng's words, the girl smiled confidently and said, "Mr. Xiao, let me introduce myself first. My name is Amanda Herbold. You can call me Amanda."
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Ms. Herbold, we're not that familiar with each other yet, so I won't call you by your name. What's the matter with you? If you're calling me to talk about something insignificant, then forget it. I don't have time to waste with you. I'd rather get some more sleep."
Herbold's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but he quickly returned to normal: "Mr. Xiao, you may not have thought things through clearly before making such a decision. If you had thought clearly, you wouldn't have made this choice."
"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it." Xiao Peng seemed a little interested after hearing this. He looked at Herbold and motioned for her to continue.
The latter straightened his body slightly and said, "Although Professor Douglas cannot directly represent the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, I can send you a friendly signal on behalf of some people."
"Who is it?" Xiao Peng looked at Herbold in confusion.
Herbold said proudly, "On behalf of our Herbold family, I am sending you a signal of friendship. As long as you agree to our terms, no matter when you go to Seattle, our family will provide you with the greatest convenience."
Xiao Peng was completely stunned after hearing this: "That's it?"
Shit, this really is "birds of a feather flock together." Is this Amanda Herbold even more narcissistic than Douglas? He finally realized that she hadn't been silent just now because she wanted Douglas to show off, but because she felt she wasn't worthy enough to talk to her?
"Isn't that enough?" Herbold said matter-of-factly, "Mr. Xiao, I know you're a billionaire, but in this world, having money doesn't guarantee everything."
Xiao Peng suddenly understood. "Oh, no wonder you have such a strong political air about you. You come from a political family. But forgive my ignorance, I've never heard of a 'Herbold family'. Could you tell me more about it so I can open my eyes?"
Herbold said proudly: "My mother is a Seattle city council member!"
Xiao Peng nearly collapsed to the ground after hearing this. "Who the hell is your mother? Ugh, I said the wrong thing. Your mother isn't a thing, but that doesn't seem quite right... You said your family is just a city councilor, and you're talking to me like that? I can meet the French president whenever I want, but why would I have to curry favor with a city councilor like yours?"
After hearing this, Herbold shook his finger and said, "Mr. Xiao, it doesn't mean anything that you can meet the president of any country in the world. After all, I am from America!"
"What's wrong with America? Is America better than others?" Xiao Peng was dumbfounded.
Herbold nodded and said, "You're absolutely right! My mother is a city council member in America. I don't need to explain what America represents! If you refuse outright, it will only bring you endless trouble. You have to think this through!"
"Pfft!" Xiao Peng snorted. "Kasin, get out! Remember to remind me to apologize to Pascal and Fabian later. Oh my god, I always said the French were arrogant, but now I know what it means that there is always someone better than the best!"
Kasin was already laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "Boss, you're better than me. You can still hold it in until now, but I couldn't help it just now. Look at Professor Douglas's expression, he's about to collapse. It's obvious that he recruited this student through connections."
Professor Douglas couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this. If it weren't for this reason, who would accept such a brainless student? Look at what he just said, is he trying to make people laugh?
Bringing such a person out------it's shameful!
But we can't do without it, just as Kasim said: We can't afford to offend people with connections.
After listening to the conversation between Xiao Peng and Kasin, Herbold became angry: "Are you laughing at me? Do you know who my mother is? My mother is Lisa Herbold!"
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "I really don't know who it is."
Ka Xin finally remembered something, and after hearing it, he slapped his forehead and reminded Xiao Peng: "Boss, I know who her mother is!"
"Who is it?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
"Boss! 'Zero Yuan Purchase'!" Kasin said, "The founder of the 'Zero Yuan Purchase' plan!"
Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this, but then he came to his senses: "Seattle City Councilwoman Lisa Herbold is your mother?"
Seeing Xiao Peng's surprised expression, Herbold looked smug: "It seems you know my mother. Then I don't need to tell you about my mother's influence!"
Xiao Peng was speechless for a long time, his eyes wandering around Herbold. Finally, he nodded and said, "No wonder you looked familiar to me just now. You really do look like your mother."
Herbold was even more proud after hearing this: "That's right, everyone says I look like my mother!"
Xiao Peng's next words popped out: "Equally ugly!"
"What did you say?" Herbold's eyes widened, suspecting that he had heard it wrong!
"Still as idiotic as ever!" Xiao Peng tilted his head and said, "Kasin, kick them out for me. Blame me for what happened today for letting such a weirdo in! Remember from now on, no one with the last name 'Herbold' is allowed into our house! I'm so scared this idiocy is contagious!"
