Chapter 893 I Really Can’t Do This Job
Li Yue didn't believe Xiao Peng was a shipwreck salvager at all—how could there be a line of military and police vehicles lining up to welcome a shipwreck salvager? And there were also many well-dressed and important people waiting to greet him.
Although Li Yue didn’t know the other person, wasn’t that old man who looked like a mascot the Irish President Michael Higgins?
Michael Higgins is so famous in Elland that dolls with his image are sold everywhere, so Li Yue also knows him.
"Alas." Xiao Peng was not happy. He sighed and said, "Kaxin, go help Li Yue fix the car. Don't go to such occasions!"
Ka Xin wanted to speak, but Xiao Peng threw the car keys to him: "Park my car on the boat!"
"Okay, boss!" Kaxin took the key and watched Xiao Peng get in the car: "Miss Li, let's go and fix your motorcycle!"
"Are you really not worried about your boss?" Li Yue was a little puzzled.
Kasim sighed and said, "I'd like to worry about him, but there's no need. The best way to work with my boss is to just do whatever he says."
Li Yue frowned and said, "Aren't you worried about all these people with guns and military police?"
Kasin laughed and said, "I've seen this kind of situation with my boss many times. It's nothing. They're not trying to hurt my boss, but treating him like a VIP!"
"A shipwreck salvage worker? Becoming the president's VIP?" Li Yue was confused.
Kasin shook his head and said, "I can see that you don't use your phone or the internet anymore. You don't even know my boss? He's known as the pride of Chinese people around the world! How about this, after we fix your motorcycle, let's go have a meal and then go to the bar for a couple of drinks and chat?"
"Huh? You want to seduce me?" Li Yue asked directly
After hearing this, Kasim asked, "Is there no chance?"
"It seems not!" Li Yue answered directly: "I've seen too many men like you on this trip. They say 'a couple of drinks', but all they think about is getting a room and having sex with their lower body."
After hearing this, Kasim said, "Since you said there's a chance, doesn't that mean I'm not trying to pick you up? I'm just going to have a couple of drinks."
Li Yue blinked. "You're not worried about your boss, but you're thinking about having a couple of drinks with me? Won't your boss be mad if he knows?"
"How can he have time to care about these things? He must be surrounded by a group of people asking him all kinds of unreasonable questions that embarrass him. Let's go, even if we don't go drinking, we have to fix the motorcycle first." Kasim said.
Li Yue smiled and said, "I'm really curious about you. I've seen a lot on my travels, but this is the first time I've seen anything like this. Let's take the motorcycles to the repair shop first, and then go for a couple of drinks! I want to hear your stories."
"Okay!" Kasim's face was full of smiles.
Unlike Kasim who had a beaming smile on his face, Xiao Peng looked depressed at this moment.
"Is this the result of your discussion?" Xiao Peng looked at the group of people in the room speechlessly.
Michael Higgins said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, we have held three consecutive meetings, and this is the most appropriate way we have discussed. Take a closer look, these are the details of our plan."
Xiao Peng held a thick plan in front of him. "I've just finished reading it, and I have to say, your clerks are not very responsible. There are seventy-three typos and seventeen grammatical errors in such an official document. Their wages will be deducted."
Everyone in the room had a frown on their faces. This plan was almost 200 pages long. Xiao Peng only glanced through it after taking it. They thought Xiao Peng didn't take the document seriously, but they didn't expect that Xiao Peng actually remembered all the contents of the plan.
Michael Higgins smiled and said, "I've heard that Mr. Xiao has a strong reading ability. I thought it was incredible before I met him. I didn't expect that his reputation is well-deserved."
Xiao Peng said, "But I can see your sincerity. If we Chinese weren't professionals in related fields, we wouldn't be able to produce such a neat Chinese plan."
A small old man who was in excellent spirits looked at Xiao Peng and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you think there is anything wrong with this plan?"
The person speaking is Gerry Adams, the current boss of Sinn Fein.
Xiao Peng nodded: "I can see that your plan is very good, but there is a problem..." At this point, Xiao Peng pointed to his nose: "I didn't say I wanted to agree to this!"
"Mr. Xiao? Why are you rejecting this offer? We've shown great sincerity, as you've seen. We've not only offered a generous financial reward, but we've also provided numerous resources." Gerry Adams said, "Mr. Xiao, there are some things I shouldn't explain. Your country has been subject to a technological blockade by developed countries, and we'll provide you with the resources you need. Would you refuse such an offer?"
Xiao Peng sighed: "Can I have a cigarette?"
"Of course!" said Gerry Adams.
Xiao Peng lit a cigarette and was silent for a moment. "To be honest, your sincerity is indeed very good, and you have taken all aspects into consideration. However, you have not considered one key issue: you want me to find the 'Mistletoe'. We currently have no information on the survivors of the 'Mistletoe', no record of the ship's route, and no distress call records. All we know about this ship is that it entered the Atlantic Ocean with a boatload of Irish refugees, and then had an accident and sank. Exactly why it sank? We don't know; exactly where it sank? We don't know; exactly why it sank? We still don't know! So, theoretically, it could be anywhere in the Atlantic. You want me to find the 'Mistletoe'? That's too difficult! Even if I'm called the 'Salvage King', this might be something I'll spend my whole life doing. If you were in my shoes, would you agree?"
He spoke sincerely, but Michael Higgins laughed. "Mr. Xiao, you're so polite. You gave Germany the locations of ten shipwrecks in one go, which means you must have more. I heard you mention the Mistletoe the other day and you knew its story. I assume you know the location of this ship, right?"
After hearing Michael Higgins' words, everyone turned to look at Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng was stunned by everyone's heated gazes: "Is that what you all think?"
Everyone nodded.
Xiao Peng was extremely helpless. "I really have to say that you misunderstood. I do know the locations of many shipwrecks, but I only know where they are. You want me to know specifically which ship and what its number is? Sorry, I'm a human, not a god. I really can't do what you ask."
