Chapter 465 Weird Rules
Xinnai posed a rather difficult problem for Xiao Peng. After all, these days, beauty is the new economy, and who doesn't want to see beautiful women? However, Xiao Peng still had a good impression of Xinnai. When she worked with Fabian, she appeared without makeup, which is something many female celebrities can't do.
As Sinner said, he and Fabian made this documentary not for the money, but to confuse people. What does it have to do with him whether it is popular or not?
He thought about it for a moment and nodded. "Okay, Xine, I'll call Fabian now. This matter is settled. However, you still need to discuss the salary with Fabian. I don't understand this!"
"Really?" Xinnei looked happy.
Xiao Peng nodded. "Of course it's true. This is a documentary, not a beauty pageant. It would be better to find an older, more mature and stable female host than a young girl. Do you think I'm right?"
Xine blinked. "Although I'm a little offended by your calling me 'old,' today is undoubtedly the happiest day I've had in two years. Let me toast you."
Xiao Peng picked up his glass and clinked it with Xinnei before saying, "You eat first. I'll call Fabian and tell him."
When Xiao Peng came back, he had a gloomy face.
Xin Nei was a little nervous after seeing this: "Xiao, is there something wrong?"
Xiao Peng nodded seriously: "It is indeed a big problem."
"What's the problem?" Xinne asked quickly.
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "Happy, you've made a wasted trip this time."
"Huh?" Xin'e's eyes widened. "Have they already decided on the location host?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Indeed."
Xinnei looked disappointed after hearing this.
Xiao Peng continued, "Fabian has been looking for you in Paris. He said that the last time they worked together, it went very smoothly, and that you were our lucky star. You were there when we first met, and since then, all of our lives have changed dramatically. So, Fabian thought he needed to find you again this time. But he couldn't find you. He asked me to ask you: Why is your phone turned off?"
This question made Xine's face full of shyness.
Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Xinnei, why do you look like that?"
"Damn it!" Xin Nei said angrily, "You really want to know? Well, let me tell you, the most basic rule in the entertainment industry is: if you want to 'get', you have to 'pay'! I'm ready to give everything for this job this time! I turned off the phone because I didn't want to be disturbed by anything else!"
Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Xinnai, are you kidding me?"
Now that it was out, Xin Nei relaxed. "Just teasing you? In the entertainment industry, being 'chaste' and 'pure as ice and jade' is just a persona. Looking across the entire entertainment industry, which female artist isn't trading herself for resources? The difference is simply 'trading with one person' or 'trading with a group of people.' Although I'm older, I'm not 'old and faded' yet. Besides, there are things that older women are more experienced, aren't they? So I put on my sexiest lingerie to try and find an opportunity. Is that weird?"
Xiao Peng said helplessly: "It's nothing strange, but don't you think it's a bit redundant now?"
"You're such a scoundrel!" Xine said. "I not only feel superfluous now, but I also feel ridiculous. Do you also think I'm a joke?"
"A joke?" Xiao Peng shook his head. "No, I don't think you're a joke. On the contrary, I find you somewhat respectable. Although you used the wrong method, you did take action anyway, which is much better than those who do nothing when faced with difficulties. Opportunities are earned, not waited for.
After hearing this, Xine laughed and said, "You are better at talking than French men."
Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "What? Xinnei, why are you cursing?"
Xinnei laughed even more happily after hearing this: "If my husband was a man like you, my life would be much better now. Xiao, if I came to you just to get a job at the beginning, but now I really want something to happen between you, this should be a romantic memory."
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines: "Xinnai, you need to calm down, think about your husband, think about your children!"
Xinnei's next words almost made Xiao Peng faint: "It's okay. My husband and I each give each other a 'cheating quota', allowing each other to cheat once a year!"
"What? There's such a weird rule?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened after hearing this. "Now it's your turn to tease me, right?"
Xine shook her head and said, "I'm telling the truth, Xiao. Since you're not married yet, you naturally can't understand. With such a high divorce rate in France, there's a reason why my husband and I have stayed together for so many years. No matter how deep the relationship, it will eventually fade. Life needs some 'freshness' to spice it up."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng didn't know what to say.
Oh, French!
No wonder there are so many 'free clubs' here!
"Xinne, I'm from Huaxia, a conservative country. Although I'm not qualified to call myself 'conservative' now, after all, I've done a lot of bad things. But at heart, I'm still a Chinese, and I have my own bottom line in some things." Xiao Peng answered seriously, "Take marriage, for example. What you just said is unacceptable to me. I understand what you said. After all, people are selfish. Life is only a little over 30,000 days long, and there's nothing wrong with living for yourself. But have you ever thought about your children? They say we Chinese have no faith. We Chinese don't believe in some imaginary god, but in family. Nothing is more important to us than family, at least to me."
"Why are you reacting so strongly?" Xinnei asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng explained, "My family is incomplete, which is a regret in my heart and an irreparable aspect. Although most people don't admit it, the psychological shadow caused by an incomplete family on a person's growth is always there. This is why I value the people around me now."
"I'm sorry," Xine said. "I shouldn't have said that."
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a difference of opinion. You may think I'm rigid, but I really wouldn't do anything to destroy other people's families - even if your family has such weird rules. Okay, Xinnei, let's not talk about this and get down to business. If you want this job, you have to be prepared for the worst: we're going to the Atlantic Ocean next, which is not the Mediterranean. The work ahead is very hard, so you'd better keep fit during this time. I hope your body can withstand it."
