Chapter 932 I Can Introduce You to University
Michael Higgins did not stop trying to persuade Xiao Peng: "Xiao, stay in Ireland. We will give you various tax and policy benefits. As long as you are willing to stay, we can discuss anything."
Xiao Peng still shook his head. "No, no, no, Michael. We have a good friendship, but why should I stay in Cork? To be honest, if I like quiet, I can live in Marseille La Ciotat; if I like bustling, I can go back to China; if I like high society, I can live in the Netherlands. Cork is really not a place I like. But if I have some free time one day, I will come back for a while and continue my unfinished journey."
This time he and Cassin were traveling around Ireland, but before he could have enough fun they were taken away to salvage a sunken ship. He hadn't had enough fun yet.
Michael Higgins looked at Xiao Peng and said, "Xiao, you really don't want to consider it?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "I'm a bit stubborn. First of all, I've never considered changing my nationality. Secondly, I don't want to stay in one place for a long time. I don't dare to stop now. If I stop, I won't want to work anymore. After all, I basically have everything now..."
Michael Higgins nodded. "Sometimes it makes me angry. What was I doing when I was your age? Still studying literature at school!"
Xiao Peng said with a bitter face, "Mr. Higgins, please don't mention this. I have always envied those top students. If God could give me a chance to start over, I would definitely study hard and make progress every day."
Michael Higgins smiled and said, "It's not too late for you to go to school now. Do you want to go to University College Dublin or Trinity College Dublin? University College Cork here might be an option. As long as you want to study here, I can still help you."
Xiao Peng was a little hesitant: "University College Cork..."
Although Cork has a population of only 100,000, it has a very good university, University College Cork, which is one of the oldest universities in Ireland. Although it is not as famous and large as University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin, it is a comprehensive research university, and it ranks first among all universities in Ireland in terms of annual scientific research funding.
Although Ireland is considered a "latecomer", its current technological level is not low, and you can learn a lot of good technology at University College Cork.
But Xiao Peng hesitated for a moment and rejected Higgins' kindness.
"Boss, here's your porridge!" Old Liu came over and said.
Xiao Peng asked, "Mr. Higgins, can you use chopsticks?"
Michael Higgins shook his head and said with a wicked smile: "Actually, I couldn't at first, but after I met you, I started learning to use chopsticks, just for this moment."
Xiao Peng had a very dark look on his face and could only give a thumbs up to express his admiration.
After Michael Higgins learned how to eat this Tang Zhuo, he began to enjoy it. He was particularly satisfied with the dipping sauce prepared by Lao Liu: "Such a good dipping sauce would be delicious even if it was dipped in wood!"
Xiao Peng blinked: "How about I prepare some wood for you?"
Michael Higgins laughed and said: "Oh, I have a mouth full of dentures now and I can't bite wood anymore! Can I meet your chef?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Of course! Lao Liu, come here!"
After Old Liu came over, his face suddenly looked ugly.
Because Michael Higgins didn't eat much, including the fish fillets and porridge prepared for him. Is this not to his taste?
Seeing Lao Liu coming over, Michael Higgins smiled and said, "Sir, what's your name?"
Old Liu was a little confused. His English level was only at the level of "HOW ARE YOUFINE THANK YOU, AND YOU." He turned to look at Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng explained, "He asked what your name was."
"President Xi, everyone calls me Lao Liu." Lao Liu stammered, "Is there anything wrong with the food I cooked?"
"'Old President Higgins'?" Higgins was stunned and then laughed. "That's an interesting name. Don't be nervous. I want to say that your seafood dish is the best I've ever tasted. It has a unique flavor, especially the dipping sauce. I've never tasted such a unique dipping sauce in my life. But you can see that I'm old, so I want to explain to you that it's not that your food is not delicious, it's just that I can't eat so much myself."
After Xiao Peng translated these words to Lao Liu, Lao Liu's face was full of smiles. He went back and filled a large bottle of dipping sauce he made himself and insisted that Higgins eat it slowly.
Xiao Peng saw this scene and learned a lesson: No wonder Higgins is so popular in Ireland; his way of doing things is truly heartwarming. Sometimes one has to admit that there is indeed a gap between people's "morals" and "cultivation."
Although Higgins didn't eat much, he couldn't stop drinking the old wine that Lao Liu had heated up. It was the first time he tried this way of drinking, and this warm and sweet wine was very suitable for his taste.
"Old Liu, I still have a few jars of old wine." Xiao Peng said, "Never mind, give them all to Higgins so he can go back and drink them slowly!"
"Okay!" Old Liu happily put the old wine prepared by Xiao Peng there for Higgins to take back.
Michael Higgins smiled and said, "Then I won't say thank you. I'll take the wine! Now, Xiao, take this."
"What is that?" Xiao Peng saw a small notebook on the table.
Michael Higgins said: "You are now an honorary citizen of Ireland, and now I will add one more thing: you are an honorary captain of the Irish Navy."
He seemed to have guessed that Xiao Peng would not join the Irish Navy, so he made a plan B, which was to give Xiao Peng an honorary military rank in order to bring Xiao Peng closer to Ireland.
"Can a colonel also be honored?" Xiao Peng was confused.
Michael Higgins said: "Of course, this is the easiest bill to pass in the Irish Parliament. You have done a lot of help for us in Ireland. If Ireland is unified, you will be the biggest contributor."
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines. "Higgins, you are flattering me, aren't you? I just found a shipwreck. Don't exaggerate, otherwise I will be in trouble: the more you love me, the more the British will hate me! Hey, Higgins, you don't have to worry about anything else. After all, I have a close relationship with Ireland. My company also relies on Ireland to help me avoid taxes!"
Higgins laughed out loud: "There's nothing we can do. Ireland sometimes has to do some less than glorious things in order to develop."
Xiao Peng took the honorary certificate and said: "I should make a frame to put this certificate in."
Higgins suddenly asked: "Xiao, there is one more thing. What are the conditions for recruiting employees?"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this. What did Higgins mean?
