Chapter 903: Not Too Many People Talking
Hua Chong leaned over the side of the boat and said, "Don't tell me, this sister has a great figure! And boss, don't you think her appearance is in line with the oriental aesthetic? Who would have thought that Gamora had such a beautiful face under her green skin?"
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "I have no problem with her, and her acting is quite good, but don't you think it's a bit too clichéd? Don't you think it's too clichéd? In the past, when black characters appeared in Hollywood films, they were always powerful villains. Later, when black characters appeared again, they became the good partners of the male protagonists, always loyal and reliable. Now, black people are gradually becoming the protagonists, all strong but kind-hearted characters. All the characters are almost the same."
Hua Chong whistled after hearing this: "Boss, your analysis is really thorough."
After Xiao Peng loaded the bullets, he said, "Fire!"
Two more shots hit the target accurately.
Xiao Peng ejected the shell and threw the gun to Walter: "Change it!"
He lit a cigarette and said, "To be honest, this kind of 'campaign' for the sake of 'campaign' is really boring. The media may be the best propaganda tool, but everything should have a limit. They should understand the principle that too much is as bad as too little. Sometimes what happens nowadays is really incomprehensible."
"Is there anything else that you can't understand?" Hua Chong said.
Xiao Peng took the gun from Walter: "Let me give you a simple example. Not long after we left the Americans, something happened there: two people robbed an online car-hailing service at gunpoint. After killing the driver, they got into a car accident while fleeing. Both were arrested."
Hua Chong said, "Isn't this just a robbery and murder case? Just sentence him the way he should. What's so hard to understand?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "If that's the case, I can understand."
Walter on the side asked puzzledly: "How can such a case where someone is caught in the act of crime develop into something extraordinary?"
Hua Chong was also confused: "What could be wrong with being caught at the scene of murder?"
Xiao Peng said, "First, the two people who committed murder and carjacking were girls. So some women's rights groups jumped out, started mobilizing public opinion and fundraising to hire lawyers for the two girls. Their message was the same: it wasn't their fault that the two girls went down this path of crime, it was society's fault... They were demanding lenient sentences for them."
"How is this possible?" Walter said, "This is murder after all!"
Xiao Peng continued, "I haven't finished yet. Did you notice I said 'first'?"
Hua Chong said: "Go on, go on..."
"Then, these two girls are black. So the 'Black Lives Matter' activists stood up to support the two black girls, saying that they had endured too much discrimination and were forced to embark on the path of crime, and they also demanded that they be given a light sentence." Xiao Peng continued.
Hua Chong and Walter looked at each other.
Xiao Peng said, "This isn't over yet! These two girls are fifteen and thirteen, and they're minors. So the juvenile protection movement has jumped in again, saying they're minors. Their thinking isn't mature, and they need more education and protection."
"He killed someone at such a young age and still needs protection?" Hua Chong widened his eyes.
Walter waved his hand and said, "That's useless. Although each state has different laws and regulations regarding minors committing crimes, basically, children aged thirteen are held fully criminally responsible. In some states, it's eleven, and the youngest is even eight. It also depends on which state they are in and what the laws are in that state."
Hua Chong sighed and said, "Didn't those people consider that someone was killed? A hard-working person was killed and no one spoke up for him?"
Xiao Peng said, "Who said there weren't any? There were! The deceased was a 66-year-old American citizen of Pakistani descent. This has once again sparked outrage among those who advocate for Asian rights. They're saying that Asian rights are not protected in the US. He was 66 years old and working hard to support his family, yet he was beaten to a pulp. This is a reflection of the difficult lives of Asians in the US. Therefore, the murderer must be severely punished. Now all parties are arguing."
Hua Chong sighed and said, "How could such a murder case involve so many people?"
Walter said: "Everyone in this world wants others to hear their voices. They all try their best to make their voices heard. Now it seems that this is not a good thing."
Hua Chong said, "You're right. Just like on our ship, if everyone was talking nonsense and we were talking one after another, would we be able to do our work? There are so many people making noises, and at first glance, they all seem reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, they're all idiots."
Walter said: "In the final analysis, it's all for one's own benefit. What did the boss say? The butt determines the head, not the head."
Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "Wait, you two have been here for a long time to talk about me and now you are not going to say anything?"
Hua Chong laughed awkwardly, "I was talking about working time! Now is not the time to work..."
Walter suddenly coughed twice and said, “Boss, there is something I want to discuss with you.”
"What are you discussing?" Xiao Peng looked at Walter: "When you talk to me, you'd better think about what you should say. Just now, the two of you were talking happily here, asking and answering each other like a crosstalk. Now you're begging me and it becomes like this?"
Walter laughed and said, “Boss, don’t be so stingy!”
Xiao Peng asked, "What's the matter?"
Walter took out the IPAD in his hand and clicked a few times: "Boss, look, this is what Khedira investigated. Boss, let's help Kassin."
Xiao Peng looked at his IPAD for a long time without saying anything. At this moment, Hua Chong said, "Boss, excuse me, someone wants to get on board."
"Don't let them play!" Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "It's too annoying! This time it's football, next time if they cause trouble, change it to baseball!"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Hua Chong and Walter pointed at Xiao Peng together, "You admit it! You did it on purpose! I say, based on the boss's character, if it wasn't intentional, he would definitely go to the hospital to visit Sheridan every day! But he only went there once symbolically! And he didn't even mention compensation!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just too busy." Xiao Peng denied hurriedly!
"Are you busy shooting UFOs here?" Hua Chong asked.
Xiao Peng threw the gun in his hand back to Walter and said, "I'm not going to play anymore. I'm going back to rest!"
Hua Chong said: "Um... Boss, it's impossible for you to rest."
"Why?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Hua Chong said, "It's Director Sheridan. He came with the crew."
"What? The old man is out of the hospital?" Xiao Peng looked outside the boat and saw a large group of people standing there. Director Sheridan saw Xiao Peng waving at him.
Xiao Peng said to Hua Chong, "Lower the gangway! Damn it, I thought he could stay here for a while longer! His control of strength is still not very good!"
"You still don't say you did it on purpose!"
