"Xiao, isn't it a little wrong for me to wear this to come here?" As soon as she walked into the villa, Amy was a little timid. All the women at the reception were dressed in evening gowns, only herself, in plain T-shirts and short skirts.

Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "If you want to have more contact with them, it will definitely not be good, but if you just want to come to your friends, then what do you care about what they do? You live for yourself, not for others! What do you care what they think? That's right." Did you call Minnie? Where is she?"

Amy shook her head: "Minnie Mouse is in a hurry, I didn't bring a phone, otherwise I wouldn't be so nervous." ”

Xiao Peng glanced left and right, but didn't see Minnie. I saw an old acquaintance------ Mayor Moore was also here. I'm talking and laughing with people over there.

Xiao Peng didn't want to disturb her, but he didn't think that Mayor Moore saw Xiao Peng, and after apologizing to the people around him, Mayor Moore came directly to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, you're here." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Mayor Moore, why are you not surprised to see me?"

Moore smiled slightly: "Of course I'm not surprised, you must know that the management of the Sydney Opera House is handled by the subordinate department of the City Hall, so it's not strange to see you here." By the way, what about Prince Wahab? Why didn't you see him?"

Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case." I said how could Mayor Moore come here in person, it turned out that he was staring at Prince Wahab. But I'm afraid Mayor Moore will be disappointed, Prince Wahab is not here today. To be exact, I didn't think about coming, I just came to find my friend. I didn't see her here, though. ”

"Mr. Xiao, you are just joking, no matter when I see you, I will not be disappointed, you are also our honored guest!" Mayor Moore changed the subject. "That's right. I don't know who your friend is?"

"Minnie Mouse, Minnie Payton. I don't know if Mayor Moore knows?" asked Xiao Peng.

After hearing this, Mayor Moore suddenly realized: "Wow, it turns out that the biggest highlight of today's performance is your friend." She's still here, so she should go change now. She is one of the protagonists of today's appreciation dinner. You should see her in a minute. Mr. Xiao, you can play here for a while and relax with a glass of wine. I have a few friends over there, so I'm going to have some pleasantries. ”

"Okay Mayor Moore, you're busy with yourself. Xiao Peng shook hands with Mayor Moore and said goodbye.

When Xiao Peng turned around, he saw Amy staring at him with big eyes: "Xiao, what the hell are you doing? How can you be a mayor and a prince with you? Aren't you a jockey?"

"That's right, I'm a jockey, I once rode a horse for Prince Wahab of Saudi Arabia, and as for Mayor Moore, I met him because of this horse fair. "Xiao Peng, this can be regarded as telling the truth, but the statement is a bit low-key.

"This is the jockey of the Saudi prince, isn't it? No wonder the people here are so polite to you. You are the spokesperson of the local tyrant. Amy's eyes widened.

Xiao Peng smiled: "It's okay if you want to understand it like this." Just as a waiter walked by, Xiao Peng brought two glasses of champagne: "What is the situation today? Why does Minnie come over for this thank-you reception?"

Amy glanced left and right and whispered, "Actually, this is also an unspoken rule of the industry." We have a big family and even though we have a good audience, it is very difficult for us to grow as a ballet company if we only rely on the income from the performances, and the donations of these high-level customers are very important to us. And this appreciation reception is to entertain these high-level customers. The troupe will let those lead actors or high-profile actors stand up and have in-depth exchanges with those high-quality customers to strive for more funds. Today, Minnie Mouse showed experience, so she brought the party here. To engage in such a noble art and yet to engage in such vulgar social activities, alas, there must not be such a disgusting thing in your country. ”

Xiao Peng listened to Amy's words and was happy: "There is no such disgusting thing in our country? Hahahaha, I can laugh for a year with this joke." ”

Amy was stunned: "Is it the same in your country?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "In our country, what actors, singers, and dancers add up, there are not 500,000, but 300,000." If you ask so many people, who dares to say that they don't have to participate in these messy entertainments? Let me just say that, in the entire entertainment industry in China, there may be only one and a half people at most who can refuse such an occasion. ”

"How can a half pop out?" asked Amy, puzzled.

Xiao Peng took a sip of champagne: "To be precise, we have two 'background emperors' in China, one is the third generation of red, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, father, mother, and aunt are all soldiers, oh, her grandfather is also one of the prototypes of the protagonist of the famous TV series "Bright Sword" in our country, who dares to let her do things she doesn't want to do with such a background? That is really an existence that cannot be provoked." ”

Amy nodded: "Wow, this is equivalent to those of us who come from traditional aristocratic families, naturally no one can force her to do things she doesn't like, what about the other half?"

Xiao Peng pouted: "An actress, you can see her in various big-budget movies in China, and her acting skills 。。。。。。 Alas, if you don't mention it, it's about the same as having no acting skills, no matter what kind of play you play, it's a paralyzed expression, but you can't stand the fact that there is a financier behind her who is throwing money to support her. ”

"Did you bring it out?" asked Amy, curious.

Xiao Peng nodded: "There is popularity, many people know her, but as soon as she is mentioned, everyone has the same reaction: 'That acting, alas。。。。。。 There was only one sigh left. ”

Amy laughed: "You're exaggerating that, isn't it?

"What? how is it possible?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "I'll find out her movie for you to see, no matter what movie it is, from beginning to end, with an expression on her face----- frowning and a nervous look." If you can find a second expression, count me as a loser! Don't underestimate the bad taste of rich people, the man behind the person is not bad for money anyway, what's wrong with spending money to make his woman happy? What's wrong with poor acting skills? I am disgusted at home, and I push her on the screen to disgust everyone. The pain of being alone is not as painful as the pain of others, anyway, no matter how you complain about her acting skills, you still have to watch her movies. ”

"Does anyone watch this kind of acting?" asked Amy, puzzled.

Xiao Peng smiled: "Do you think people are stupid? Spend money to let her play the entire vase role, without testing her acting skills and without affecting the main plot." The audience didn't see her at all, at most, they habitually complained after watching it. People don't make money for this, they just want to be famous. ”

Amy thought for a moment: "This woman has no self-esteem, right? Just relying on men? Women in our country are stronger, more independent, and value dignity." ”

Xiao Peng shook his head: "First of all, what you said is a bit wrong. Almost everyone who says this is jealous. If a man treats you like this, for example, your boyfriend throws a lot of money at the ballet company and asks the company to give you more opportunities to play in the roles that the company has arranged, will you refuse?"

Amy thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, I'm jealous of her, how come there isn't such a man for me." ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "Yes, you are an honest girl." ”

Amy shrugged her shoulders and smiled bitterly, "Now that's all that's left to be honest, okay?"

Xiao Peng smiled even more happily: "In fact, it is also a common problem of many women now, when there is nothing to do, feminism is supreme, a man in the world is useless, and she looks like a real strong woman, but when there is really something, she cries with her mouth open: 'Who made me just a woman。。。。。。 'Leave all the blame on it. ”

Amy was stunned: "Xiao, why do you feel that you have a big opinion of women when you say this?"

Xiao Peng shook his head: "It's not that I have a big opinion of women. I just have an opinion about such a woman, either you will be strong from beginning to end, or you will be weak from beginning to end, instead of choosing what attitude is beneficial to you depending on what situation. Well, I won't defend myself, I did feel a little unhappy today because I just fell out of love today. Send two whining, don't take it to heart. ”

"Lovelorn, you have a girlfriend?" Amy's eyes widened.

"Isn't that weird?" Xiao Peng asked rhetorically.

Amy thought for a moment and shook her head: "Well, it's not strange, I'm just curious why you keep not mentioning it." ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "Actually, I met after we separated." It's a pity that we didn't get along for a few days. Today we broke up. ”

Amy asked curiously, "Why is this happening?"

"There are many reasons here. Xiao Peng didn't want to talk about it.

"You know Minnie likes you, right?" Amy asked suddenly.

"Of course, I'm not stupid. Minnie is a good girl, but have you thought about it? How can we live together? Can she give up ballet? Or can I give up my career in China? Amy, I send you a word, distance can't produce beauty, it can only produce estrangement, instead of suffering at that time, it is better not to be together. I'm here today to make it clear to Minnie Mouse that I don't waste my time. He deserves a better option. ”

Amy sighed after hearing this: "I have to say, you are a good man and know how to think about others." Minnie will be sad to hear you say that. ”

Xiao Peng took a sip of champagne: "Irresponsible love is a hooligan." ”

Amy nodded: "If the whole world is your idea, there will be fewer men and women on the earth." No wonder Minnie Mouse likes you, you are indeed a very secure man. ”

"I?'s sense of security?" Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "You're not kidding me, are you?" ”

Amy smiled, "Xiao, take my word for it. A sense of security does not refer to those men who are full of muscles, but whether they make people feel at ease, and you are the kind of man who makes people feel at ease. Alas, you and Minnie Mouse have a good talk in a moment, don't hurt her. ”

Xiao Peng nodded, and was about to say something, but Amy suddenly patted Xiao Peng on the shoulder: "Look! Minnie is out! My God, she's so beautiful!"
