Chapter 922 Dress Older
Although Xiao Peng's livestream concluded, he didn't immediately return to Cork Harbor. Instead, he filmed several scenes featuring Xiao Peng and Bradley. These included scenes featuring Bradley's character and Xiao Peng. These scenes depict Bradley finding the ROV footage Xiao Peng wanted from the seabed, and Bradley proposing his intention to leave the Calypso and remain in Ireland to pursue deep-sea salvage, searching for more of his ancestral remains.
Although Xiao Peng had no filming experience, this scene was a natural performance, and the dialogue was minimal, so filming was completed quickly. This time, the work in Ireland was completely completed.
Xiao Peng had originally planned to hold a celebration banquet, a proposal supported by everyone except Sheridan. Sheridan finally rejected the proposal with his directorial authority, and the two ships began to return.
This was such a bummer, many people went to Sheridan to protest. After all, there weren't many opportunities to have fun on a luxury yacht like this. Xiao Peng didn't know when he would have another chance to play on a boat like this after he left Ireland! We had such a great time last time!
Sheridan nearly cursed after hearing this. His bad luck was that he'd had too much fun last time! Now he saw Xiao Peng like a mouse seeing a cat! It was really uncomfortable to be caught by the tail!
When they returned to Cork Harbour, Xiao Peng's first feeling was: Damn, everyone in Cork City is here!
There are celebrities on board, but there aren’t that many groupies in Cork, right?
Later, Xiao Peng understood what had happened: it turned out that they all knew that Xiao Peng had found the wine distiller.
When they learned that Xiao Peng decided not to salvage the ship and told the coordinates to the Irish government and donated the distiller to them, Xiao Peng immediately became the most popular person in Ireland - he received the highest level of welcome.
Such a welcome ceremony made Xiao Peng feel helpless: he had originally planned to continue heading south, but now he couldn't leave. There was a pile of invitations to press conferences, welcome receptions, etc.
Although they needed to clean the sewage on the ship and resupply during this period, Xiao Peng could only stay in Cork Port for a few more days.
"Boss, let me help you tie your tie." Walter said.
Xiao Peng stretched his neck towards the camera and said with disdain, "Is this kind of cocktail party a treat for me? This is clearly torture!"
Walter coughed twice and said, "Boss, stop complaining. This is not the first time you've attended a cocktail party like this. Isn't this the way it is at such a cocktail party? How about this light blue tie?"
"No!" Xiao Peng shook his head. "I can't let this habit get to me anymore! Where are my Chinese stand-up collars?"
"Small stand-up collar?" Walter was stunned and said, "Are you talking about those clothes similar to the ones Jet Li wore in "The Lethal Weapon"? Boss, don't you look too old-fashioned in those clothes?"
JET LI is the 'Kung Fu Emperor'.
It’s quite interesting to say that many people in China criticize Jackie Chan and Jet Li, but they don’t know that their influence in Western countries is beyond the imagination of the Chinese people.
Many foreigners' understanding of China is limited to Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
"Old-fashioned?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this.
Walter nodded. "Indeed. He looks at least ten years older!"
Xiao Peng suddenly laughed. "Humans are very contradictory creatures. Pay attention, especially men. Men under 35 usually dress very maturely at work, like to wear suits and ties. But as they get older, they like to dress younger to appear younger. I'm young, so it's better for me to dress a little older!"
After hearing this, Walter spread his hands and said, "It's up to you, it's not a shame to wear that to such a formal cocktail party. It's still about promoting your Chinese culture, right?"
Xiao Peng put on his clothes and told Chen Cheng, Ma Xiao and others to take good care of the boat: because they had a yacht party at sea this time, many rooms were in a mess, and now there were no servants on the boat to clean up, so they had to hire a housekeeping company.
This housekeeping company couldn't just be found casually: firstly, many things on the ship were expensive, and there were also many privacy issues involved: after all, many celebrities had had affairs there at the time. Their housekeeping company was arranged by the Mayor of Cork. Even so, Xiao Peng had to have Chen Cheng and the others keep a close eye on it—who knew if he was just letting a wolf into the house.
Khedira had already prepared Xiao Peng's car. They were going to Cork City Hall today for a press conference. The shipwreck video Xiao Peng had captured from his ROV would also be released there. While the sheer volume of debris wouldn't be suitable for live broadcast, there was no problem showing it here.
This press conference was also part of the filming, much like the scene at the end of Iron Man where Tony Stark admits he is Iron Man. Because this film is primarily a pseudo-documentary, the reporters and other scenes are all real.
Xiao Peng's outfit with a small stand-up collar is eye-catching: this oriental style clothing has attracted a lot of attention.
The shocking images of the shipwrecks, filled with human remains, played on the big screen. Countless media outlets used them as front-page headlines. The tragic suffering of the Irish people was suddenly brought to the forefront. Coupled with the fact that Brexit had just taken place and the impact was still lingering, the global media condemned Britain's actions. Independence movements in Northern Ireland and Scotland reignited.
This time, Britain's reaction was a bit strange. Instead of reacting too strongly, it chose to remain silent.
If you think about it, you can understand it.
Although the United Kingdom is composed of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and fourteen overseas territories, Northern Ireland and Scotland are not as important as the fourteen overseas territories.
People say Britain is in decline, but if you pay attention, you'll notice that all of its overseas territories are located at transportation hubs. They're all strategically located. But what about Northern Ireland and Scotland?
The British have always believed that England is the most important. Currently, 80% of the UK economy belongs to England. In other words, without Scotland and Northern Ireland, they would have gotten rid of two burdens. However, the UK will not easily allow these two places to secede from the UK - does the UK have no dignity?
We are called the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.' If Scotland and Northern Ireland secede, what will we be called? 'Half of the United Kingdom of Great Britain'? Therefore, silence does not mean agreement; on the contrary, it may be the brewing of a larger conspiracy.
Of course, this is not Xiao Peng's problem. He now has a more important problem before him:
This cocktail party after the press conference... there are so many beautiful girls!
Beasts or worse than beasts? That is the question!
