Chapter 87 Career Pie
Xiao Peng looked at Angeloni with sympathy.
The dignified Marseille Police Chief, now forced to patrol an island and coax wild ducks because of something he had done? Xiao Peng was now filled with guilt.
Xiao Peng began to reflect on himself, because he had ruined the future of such a group of people because of his willfulness! This was really unkind!
After reflecting for ten seconds, Xiao Peng chose to forget about it - it wasn't me who meant to harm you, so who made you walk into this trap?
You expect someone like Xiao Peng, who has never received higher education and has been working hard alone, to become a saint just by reading a few books? This is totally unrealistic!
It wasn't like Xiao Peng was cheating his fellow villagers, so he felt no psychological pressure at all. Besides, what was wrong with cheating his compatriots? It wasn't like Xiao Peng had never been cheated by his fellow villagers before!
If you ask Xiao Peng what his biggest lesson from his two years in France is, it's that you shouldn't judge a person by their skin color or nationality! Every country has good people and bad people!
Just as he had been cheated by his compatriots, he had also been helped by the Derridas.
People may not live for more than 30,000 days, but that's not the time to suffer! Living life to your heart's content is more important than anything else!
Of course, 99.99% of people in this world can't do this! It turns out Xiao Peng can't do it either!
But now that I finally have super powers, I still feel so frustrated?
He even felt sorry for himself!
Angeloni and his friends came in triumph and left in disgrace.
Despite what happened, the video game festival will continue, and since Benjamin is injured, Xiao Peng becomes the highlight.
At the beginning, Xiao Peng really enjoyed the feeling of being noticed, with countless beauties asking for photos with him and giving him all kinds of hints. . . .
It really feels good to be in the spotlight. No wonder so many people want to be famous. Who doesn't want to be surrounded by people and be the center of attention?
But after a while, he got fed up: other people didn't care whether he was free or in a good mood. In their eyes, as a public figure, you are supposed to serve the public and please them!
Only then did Xiao Peng realize that life is really not easy for those celebrities. Do they have to sacrifice their privacy and personal time in order to become famous?
But the problem is that I am not a star!
What kind of public figure is he?
Celebrities gain wealth by sacrificing their personal time and privacy, but what am I trying to achieve?
Xiao Peng became unhappy when he thought of this: You are my grandchildren, and I love you so much?
He simply pretended to have a stomachache and wanted to run away with Pascal, but Godin stopped him and insisted that his personal doctor come to see him.
After Xiao Peng declined, Godan arranged a lounge for him to have a good rest.
Xiao Peng was puzzled by Ge Dan's behavior. Why was he so polite to him? Xiao Peng was puzzled.
It didn't take long for Xiao Peng to find out the answer: there was a small press conference after the show, and he was the protagonist.
In recognition of Xiao Peng's rescue of people in the Old Port of Marseille, the Marseille City Government awarded Xiao Peng the title of "Honorary Citizen".
These foreigners are so stingy!
He risked his life to save so many people, and all he got was a crystal trophy and a certificate? Not even a tangible reward! Xiao Peng was so angry that he wanted to throw the trophy and certificate in Ge Dan's face!
Are you sending away beggars?
Fortunately, Chen Zetao, who is also Chinese, understands Xiao Peng's ideas better. The Marseille Chinese Chamber of Commerce rewarded Xiao Peng with 100,000 euros to commend his actions for expanding the influence of Chinese in Marseille.
Not bad, not bad. At least I have made back the money I spent on causing trouble for those gangs recently!
There was a small cocktail party after the press conference, where Xiao Peng fully witnessed Godan's tactics:
Godin's search for Xiao Peng wasn't without purpose. He wanted Xiao Peng to stay in Marseilles, or more precisely, to stay in Marseilles with the nurse shark named Nightingale, and become a regular tourist attraction in Marseilles.
He made countless promises to Xiao Peng, such as 'the Marseille City Government will give Xiao Peng the greatest convenience', 'such a travel project will make Xiao Peng gain both fame and fortune', 'Marseille is the holiday center of Europe, you will find love here', 'after all, you have been in Marseille for more than two years, this can be said to be your second home, you have feelings for this place, and you have an unshirkable obligation to build Marseille', 'the Marseille authorities will give Xiao Peng preferential treatment including taxation', 'if Xiao Peng wants to obtain French citizenship, they will give him the greatest convenience based on his contribution'...
Anyway, after all this talk, there is no real contribution at all! It’s all just empty promises!
The last one in particular fully reveals French arrogance: "My desire to become a French citizen is based on my performance? Why should I become a French citizen?"
Is France beautiful? Absolutely beautiful! Is life comfortable? Absolutely comfortable! Are the welfare benefits great? Absolutely great! Is the environment good? Absolutely great! But this definitely doesn't include France's major cities!
Today's France is really different from the original France, and is nicknamed "Black France".
In fact, this is no joke. In 2018, a French MP named Hussein Umar, a Ghanaian immigrant, submitted a proposal to the French parliament to change the name of France to "Franceistan." This is because France has a large Muslim immigrant population, especially in Marseille, which is known as the "capital of North Africa."
Paris, on the other hand, is a completely different place. Today, Paris is almost entirely dominated by black people. This year, a large-scale demonstration took place in Paris, with black people taking to the streets, calling for the expulsion of white people from Paris and the establishment of a French capital populated entirely by black people.
Xiao Peng had been in France for so long, and what he couldn't stand the most was the frequent parades! In his eyes, the best life was a stable one! If China hadn't banned the private underwater salvage industry, Xiao Peng would have wanted to return home right now! Even if it was just for the local accent and the delicious food, he would have chosen to go back.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you return with a lot of money!
If it were before, Xiao Peng might have gratefully accepted these promises from Godin and worked for him until his death. After all, Godin was the mayor of Marseille, a high-ranking figure. If he was so respected and given face, he would definitely take responsibility.
But what about now?
You are nothing!
Xiao Peng left the party with Pascal on the pretext of thinking about it, but they did not go home. Instead, they went to a bar called "Spade's Ace".
"Why did you bring me here?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly after getting out of the car, looking at the bar sign. "You want to listen to music here?"
Pascal put his arm around Xiao Peng's shoulders and said, "Today, we have to celebrate getting your license! Fabian has made all the arrangements! We won't leave until we're drunk!"
