Chapter 1487 There are always people criticizing you
Xiao Peng looked at the two people's expressions and said, "Hey, why do you both look like you're about to say something but hesitate? Just say it directly if you have something to say."
Hua Chong coughed dryly twice and said, "Well, there is actually something. It's related to your friends Shao Feng and Liu Baorong. I just found out about this, and I don't think they would tell you about it. So I'm telling you this so you can have some idea."
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was a little nervous when he heard Shao Feng and Liu Baorong: "What's going on? Is there something wrong with 'Xiao Pavilion'?"
Hua Chong quickly said, "It's not that something happened at 'Xiao House.' How should I put it? A few days ago, a flood broke out in a part of China. Shao Feng and Liu Baorong, in the name of 'Xiao House,' donated 20 million yuan each in cash and supplies to three charitable organizations, including the Red Cross, to help with disaster relief. They wanted to keep the donation low-key, so they didn't publicize it at all."
"That's a good thing!" Xiao Peng said, "These two guys do good things without leaving their names. I think that's a little bit of my opinion."
Hua Chong said, "How could this be concealed? Their donation was soon discovered."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "If you've discovered it, then you've discovered it. This is a good thing."
Hua Chong said, "Boss, you only know one side of the story. As soon as the matter was exposed, someone directly reported them by real name, accusing them of 'fraudulent donations.'"
"'Fraudulent donation'?" Xiao Peng was stunned.
Hua Chong explained, "Like I said, wasn't 20 million donated to each of the three charities? That guy only looked at the Red Cross donation amount and started reporting it under his real name. The matter wasn't resolved until the other two charities presented proof of donation from 'Xiao House.' The reporter immediately issued a public apology, saying that his actions weren't directed at 'Xiao House,' but out of a sense of responsibility for the general public. It was a case of good intentions leading to bad results. And he ended up gaining a large number of fans!"
Xiao Peng burst into swear words after hearing this: "What do you mean by 'good intentions leading to bad results'? If it's bad, it's bad! Such a huge loss of reputation is just brushed off with a simple apology? I'm suing them!"
Hua Chong continued, "Boss, this isn't over yet. Someone started to stir up trouble, saying that Xiao Hall's donation was just for self-promotion and hype!"
Xiao Peng was completely helpless: "'Xiao Pavilion' is a museum, what kind of publicity is this?"
Hua Chong nodded and said, "Who says it's not? They can't keep up with one trend and change to another. They say that your charity work in France is worth hundreds of millions of euros, but in China it's only RMB, and the amount is so small. And this donation was not made by you, but by Shao Feng and others. They say you are rich but unkind. This is really a difficult thing: not donating is wrong, and donating too little is also wrong. There are always people criticizing you."
Xiao Peng chuckled after hearing this. "I don't even know why I should donate to the flood disaster back home. Sixty million is too little? I really don't know how much they donated. Most of them probably didn't donate a penny! Do you know how much I need to donate to satisfy them? Only if I donate everything and become even poorer than them will they say, 'Wow, you're doing great,' but then silently curse me in their hearts, 'What a fucking idiot!' People like that shouldn't be bothered."
Hua Chong and Khedira laughed together after hearing this.
Xiao Peng continued, "As for those who say I'm having affairs with girls, whether they're men or women, they're basically just jealous. First of all, did I break the law? Did I rape, or was I infatuated with, or was I looking for an underage girl? I'm not married, so is that a problem? I've never intentionally approached girls, have I? They always come to me on their own accord. If a man has money, many men and women will approach him. Do you think everyone knows how to say 'no'? If those who criticize me had money, they might live even more extravagantly than I do! Let's not talk about Khedira for now; he's married now. Let's talk about you, Hua Chong. Do you believe that if you were as rich as me, you'd be the groom every day and the bride every night?"
Khedira curled his lips and said, "Boss, even if he's not that rich now, he's living a similar life."
Hua Chong protested after hearing this: "Khedira, please don't criticize me. Let's not laugh at each other! You're in a similar situation!"
Khedira snorted coldly: "That was my old self. Now I have found true love and I will never be the same again."
Hua Chong said with a look of disgust: "Come on, if you had the chance to have sex with Claudia Schiff right now, would you refuse? Even though she's almost fifty, she's still the most beautiful woman in the eyes of you Germans, right? If you think she's too old, then what about Raina Meyer? What about Diane Kruger? Answer with all your heart! Don't worry about your wife being unhappy. She doesn't understand Chinese! She won't understand what we're talking about!"
They were chatting animatedly but were always speaking Chinese. Lewandowski and Yasukawa were fighting fiercely, staring at each other from beginning to end and unable to join in the conversation.
Khedira said seriously after hearing this: "Even if Sarah Bradner stood naked in front of me, I would not betray my family!"
After he finished speaking, two middle fingers appeared on his face: one from Xiao Peng and one from Hua Chong.
Xiao Peng said to Khedira with disdain, "Khedira, don't brag to me. Do you believe I really invited Sarah Bradner to dinner with you? I wonder if you can hold yourself back!"
Khedira's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Boss, are you serious? Can I really have dinner with Sarah Bradner?"
So he got two more middle fingers on his face.
Xiao Peng was just about to tease Khedira again when he suddenly heard a woman's scream outside.
"What's going on outside?" Xiao Peng was confused. Hua Chong picked up the bath towel and wrapped it around his waist: "I'll go check it out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the sauna room was pushed open and Bruch rushed in hurriedly.
Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "You said these women are really weird. If someone comes in naked during the mixed bathing, they won't react at all, but if someone comes in with clothes on, they will scream."
When Bruch came in, he rushed in in a suit and tie, which caused the women in the hot pool outside to scream.
Hua Chong laughed after hearing Xiao Peng's words and said, "Maybe they feel disadvantaged. Analyzing their mentality, I think they're thinking, 'You can look at me, why can't I look at you?'"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Bruch, what are you doing? If you want to take a shower, why don't you take off your clothes and wash it?"
Bruch said, "Boss, the boss just called."
Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Walter returned to the Netherlands?"
Bruch nodded. "Well, he handed the matter over to the organization's disaster relief team and then returned to the Netherlands. The boss just called to say that something happened at home."
"Something happened? What happened?" Xiao Peng asked.
"The whole Orange Garden is flooded!"
