Chapter 789: The food that is snatched tastes the best
It was midnight on the Luna, and while everyone would normally be asleep by this time, the Luna was actually quite lively. Four people were sitting on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze and playing mahjong. They were Pascal, Hua Chong, Kassin, and Khedira.
Hua Chong was a little embarrassed: "I'm on duty here, and you guys are accompanying me. How can I feel good about this?"
Pascal said, "Who's going to keep you company? I've been stuck in the cabin these past few days, tossing and turning day and night. I couldn't sleep anyway, so I came out to get some fresh air."
Khedira said: "The boss hasn't come back yet, we are waiting for him here."
Pascal looked at Khedira as if he were an idiot: "Oh my god, are you stupid? Can a man come back if he leaves with a woman?"
Khedira said: "Ms. Fenty said she was taking the boss to a fun place, and the boss said, 'I'll be back when I'm done playing.'"
Pascal shook his head. "He said he'd be back when he was done. If you were spending the night with Rihanna, would you be in a hurry to get back?"
"Beifeng, Beifeng! Are you guys chatting or playing cards?" Hua Chong said after playing cards, "You guys have really dirty minds. Rihanna and the others are on our ship. If the boss and her wanted something, they would have already happened. Besides, it's not like Rihanna doesn't have a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is also a billionaire. He even has an advantage over the boss. After all, he's more well-known and well-connected in Western high society. Look at Rihanna. She was on our ship, talking on the phone with her boyfriend every day. This is clearly a sign of being in love. How could she have any thoughts about the boss? They are just ordinary friends hanging out. You really think too much!"
Kasin took a quick look and said, "I won't give you 80,000... You say we have dirty thoughts? I think you're too naive! What's wrong with having a boyfriend? Aren't there many married people who fool around outside? What if she wants to try something new?"
Khedira said, "Eat! Three! What I said isn't just 'thinking', it's actually going to happen! There are some things you can't do in public, you can only do it secretly. Otherwise, why would the two of them go out alone? But I agree with Kassin. When I heard Rihanna wanted to invite the boss out alone today, I knew something was going to happen."
Pascal said, "Bang, four. Then what are you waiting for?"
"Bang. Twenty thousand!" Khedira said, "But the boss said he'd be back. The boss usually keeps his word."
"Damn, why did this card come up at this time!" Pascal said, "Red center! I said Khedira, and you said that's the normal situation. The question is, is it the same situation with Rihanna?"
Hua Chong curled his lips and said, "What can we say about you? You don't understand the aesthetic standards of us Chinese people. Anyway, in my opinion, Rihanna is very ordinary. Look at the girls the boss usually picks up. This is completely not in line with the boss's taste. Damn, another Beifeng!"
Ka Xin grabbed the cards and said, "Don't you know that 'cards must be kept when they come back'? Hua Chong, are you a man? Sixty thousand!"
"What do you mean?" Hua Chong raised his eyebrows and said, "Go practice some more?"
"What are you practicing for?" Khedira grabbed the cards and said, "If you have the guts, go practice with the boss! Yeah, great cards! Don't say I'm trying to scare you, I'm a winner! Yikes!"
"I'm staring at you and beating you up." Pascal said, "But Hua Chong, I think what Khedira just said is right. Are you a man?"
Hua Chong got anxious after hearing this, but the person who spoke was one of Pascal's bosses after all, so he didn't dare to say anything too much: "Why am I not a man? Babing!"
"Nonsense!" Khedira laughed. "That's what I want! Give me the money! Hua Chong, please help!"
"Why are you so excited, you little brat?" Hua Chong said with disdain: "How many times have you done this? Do you know anything else besides bragging?"
"Little by little, it adds up to a lot, you know?" Khedira said. "Tomorrow's cigarette money is here! Long live the boss!"
Ka Xin said from the side: "The boss is not here at this time. Why are you flattering the boss?"
Khedira said: "The boss has changed from completely banning gambling on the ship to a limit of no more than five dollars. This is the brilliance of human nature!"
"Pfft!" Everyone erupted in laughter. Kasin gave a thumbs-up. "You're even talking about the 'glory of humanity'. From now on, I'll give you the title of 'Flatterer King' on the ship!"
Hua Chong said, "Kaxin, don't be so anxious to give up your title. Talk to me about this 'not being a man' issue first. We're really fine now. If you don't tell me the reason, we'll see you in the gym later!"
"Let's meet!" Kasin said directly: "Who's afraid of who?"
Khedira said helplessly, "We're talking about the boss, why are you two so anxious? Hua Chong, you're from the military too, right? I used to know a Chinese guy who was in the French Foreign Legion. Do you know what he complained about the most when he was in the Foreign Legion?"
"What?" Hua Chong was confused.
Khedira said: "He complained that the food was not tasty!"
"Don't you like eating?" Hua Chong thought for a moment and said, "That's true. After all, not all Chinese people can accept Western food. Just like you can't accept Chinese food quickly."
Khedira shook his head and said, "That's not his reason. He said that food tastes better when you're rushing to eat it. Just like when we're eating hot pot together, no one needs a bite, but why do we all rush to eat it? Because it tastes better when you're rushing to eat it!"
Hua Chong suddenly understood: "Right, I'm not exaggerating. We all had big appetites in the army, one bigger than the other. But after leaving the army, our appetites dropped dramatically. They all said it was because the food in the army was 'lacking in fat'. Now that you put it that way, I understand. It's because there's no 'scrambling to eat'!"
Khedira snapped his fingers and said, "You hit the nail on the head. It's the same with people. Why do some men seem average but still have a bunch of women chasing them? Why do some women you think are not good-looking have a bunch of backups? It's like eating! The ones you snatch up are the most delicious. You think Rihanna is ugly? At least there are millions of men who do! The feeling of snatching her from so many people has nothing to do with beauty! It's a sense of accomplishment!"
"So the boss can't come back, right?" Hua Chong asked, "Then why are you still waiting here?"
"This is work! You have to be worthy of your salary." Khedira said: "You said Rihanna's excuse is too lame. There is nothing fun on Vieques Island!"
Pascal said, "Actually... there's actually a fun place on this island."
