Chapter 702 You are favoring girls over boys
The girl looked at Xiao Peng in silence and said hurriedly, "Sir, I really want to express my gratitude to you in person. We saw your car was still parked at the hospital. We waited for you all day, but you didn't get the car."
Xiao Peng blinked. The broken car had completed its historical mission and was thrown into the hospital. They no longer wanted the car!
"'You guys'? Has your friend also been discharged from the hospital?" Xiao Peng asked.
The girl nodded and said, "After resting in the hospital for a night, the doctor said she's fine. She'll be here soon."
"Here? What are you doing?" Xiao Peng asked in confusion.
The girl explained, "After what happened yesterday, the festival can't go on. The performers have gone to Belgium, and we have to go find them!"
Xiao Peng's eyes widened after hearing this: "They just left like that?"
The girl said angrily, "They were afraid of taking responsibility and ran away last night! After all, our accident happened during a performance! And yet they didn't care! I checked and found out they went to Belgium. Otherwise, I should have continued to wait for you at the hospital to express my gratitude, but if we didn't go there, we were afraid they would run away! And now I see you here."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "Did I run into a black-hearted boss?"
"I can't help it!" The girl spread her hands. "Isn't that what work is like? It's hard to find a job these days. We used to be performers at the Zibaos Circus, but because of Brexit, Zibaos ran into financial problems, so we had to find a way out on our own."
Billy on the side widened his eyes. "Zibaos can't hold on anymore? Damn it! I was thinking I'd definitely go see Zibaos' performance when I came to England this time! How are Mr. Norman Bright and his parrots? I saw Zibaos' performances when I was a kid, and I was particularly fascinated by Mr. Peterson-Bright's parrots. I even raised a bunch of them myself!"
The girl blinked. "Mr. Peterson-Bright? I think you mean Norman Bright's father. His father passed away a few years ago. But now Norman Bright has inherited his father's mantle. Now the boy, Zippos, is doing the parrot show. After all, he is the circus's ace, so he doesn't have to worry about work."
Billy sighed and said, "What a great circus! When I went to see it, tickets were hard to come by. No one goes to the circus in Britain anymore? But it's still very popular in France and Germany!"
The girl explained, "It's not that no one goes to the circus anymore, but operating costs have gone up. Since Brexit, it's become difficult to find staff from non-EU countries. We can't even afford crane operators and drivers. We can only maintain costs by cutting staff and reducing the number of performances."
Billy suddenly understood. He turned and said, "Xiao, if you have time, you must go see the Zipporos circus. It's really good! It seems that Brexit has a huge impact on the British people!"
"Your name is Xiao?" The girl extended her hand to Xiao Peng and said, "My name is Ellie Stone. I would like to express my gratitude to you for saving my life once again, and I would also like to apologize to you."
Xiao Peng smiled and shook her hand. "No need to be so serious. Although I sympathize with your situation, living a good life is better than anything else, isn't it?"
Fabian muttered, "What a hypocrite! He's being so hypocritical just because she's a beauty. If it were a man, would you give him a wrench? He'd have killed someone long ago!"
Pascal shook his head after hearing this: "If it's a man, he can't even give them artificial respiration."
Their voices, neither too loud nor too soft, just reached the ears of Xiao Peng and Ellie Stone. Ellie Stone was a little embarrassed, and Xiao Peng was so angry that he wanted to kick them both!
What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean the man didn't give them CPR? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda! I'll save them, but if the man really hit me with a wrench... it definitely won't be that simple!
Alice Stone said: "I just saw you get off this ship. Are you a member of this ship's crew?"
Xiao Peng and others were stunned. It was not surprising at all that they were mistaken for crew members.
Needless to say, he himself was tanned from years at sea; Billy had just finished a sea trip; and Fabian had been filming a documentary at sea in Germany, and both of their skins were red and rough from the sun - white people have thin skin and cannot withstand wind and sun at all.
Foreigners don't wear sunscreen when sunbathing, and it's not because they're afraid of getting a tan—in local aesthetics, a tan is the most beautiful color! They sunbathe specifically to get a tan! They wear sunscreen to protect their skin from UV damage, which would otherwise cause severe skin aging. But in China, sunbathing has become a fear of getting a tan, and UV-blocking sunscreens are never as popular as those that prevent tanning...
Well, this is a Chinese characteristic.
Billy wanted to explain, but Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Yes, we are all crew members!"
Ellie Stone looked envious: "It must be comfortable to work on a ship like this?"
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "We've also encountered a black-hearted boss who keeps coming up with one thing after another to cause trouble for us every day."
After hearing this, Ellie Stone sighed and said, "It's not easy these days, is it?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Yes."
He had just finished speaking when a taxi stopped in front of them and another girl got out: "Aili!"
After seeing this, Ellie Stone hurriedly said, "Kalinda! You're here..."
Before he could finish, he saw the girl named Kalinda get out of the car and run towards them. Xiao Peng thought she was going to do something, but she ran through the crowd and shouted, "This boat is so beautiful! Ellie, take some pictures for me!"
Ellie Stone's face was filled with black lines: "Kalinda, your savior is here, and you are looking at the boat?"
This girl is the second girl rescued by Xiao Peng. She almost died yesterday but she rested for a night and is full of life today. Isn’t her physical fitness amazing?
After hearing what Ellie Stone said, Kalinda turned around and looked at Xiao Peng and the others. She pointed at Xiao Peng and said, "You saved me, didn't you? Ellie told me I was an Oriental. My name is Kalinda Fanning! What's yours?"
"Just call me Xiao!" Xiao Peng replied.
After hearing this, Kalinda Fanning said, "You said you saved me, how can I repay you?"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "There's a joke in our country. If a woman is rescued by a man and wakes up to see that her rescuer is handsome, she'll say 'I'll marry you.' If the rescuer is ugly? She'll say 'I'll repay you by working like a slave in my next life.'"
After hearing this, Kalinda Fanning said, "I don't want to marry you, nor do I want to repay you in my next life. How about I buy you a drink?"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "Aren't you guys leaving?"
Ellie Stone was also curious: "Kalinda, where is our luggage?"
Kalinda said excitedly: "I contacted the boss, and he gave us two months' salary so that we can recover and then go back to them!"
