Chapter 341 Conflict
"Pagio, are you here to show off your wealth with me?" Xiao Peng finally saw Pagio's house, like Xiao Peng's house, it is also a villa full of history, and it is also by the sea, facing the sea, but at least the top of Xiao Peng's villa is three big, and the most important thing is that Pagio's house is located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the most favorite residential area of New York's wealthy people.
Or to put it another way: the super-rich district.
If Manhattan is every inch of land, the Upper East Side is every inch of land. With such a big villa here, it's really not something that can be done with money.
Pacio listened to Xiao Peng's words and replied with a smile: "Xiao, believe me, when this house belonged to us, the Upper East Side was not what it is now, and buying this house at that time was not as expensive as buying a better car now." β
Xiao Peng glanced at him: "Then I will find a car to change with you, can you change it?" β
Pagio shrugged, "Okay, do you really want to change? When he spoke, Pagio was very arrogant.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way." I don't want to take advantage of that. β
Pagio laughed: "You and Yang take a break first, and it will be held in the evening." I'll see how the service company is preparing. "The people of Stars and Stripes like to hold party parties. There are a lot of these service companies in New York that specialize in hosting parties. Employers only need to pay to make an appointment to let them know what kind of services they need. Everything is taken care of.
Xiao Peng and the two went back to their respective rooms. Xiao Peng's room is on the fourth floor, and the window is just outside the sea.
Mandalton is a slender strip that is divided from north to south into Uptown, Midtown, and Downtown. Each district is subdivided into a number of areas.
For example, the famous Wall Street is at the southernmost point of Manhattan.
It's not all good in Manhattan, for example, the Harlem district in Uptown, which is where African-Americans and Latinos gather, belongs to the poor area of Manhattan, and is the least safe place in Manhattan. But Harlem is right next to two affluent uptown districts: the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side. It's the safest place in Manhattan againγγγγγγ
There is really no creativity in the name of this Stars and Stripes: there is a slender rectangular park in Uptown, called Central Park, the west side of Central Park is the Upper West Side, and the east side of Central Park is the Upper East Side, and the name is so simple and crude. The Upper West Side and the Upper East Side are expensive because of this------ with the sea on one side and the park on the other, and the environment is very good.
The Upper East Side is more commercial and bustling, while the Upper West Side is more literary and comfortable, and is a proud art destination for New Yorkers.
There's a saying in New York that all other boroughs are slums that provide cheap labor for Manhattan, and that all the people in Manhattan make money to feed the wealthy people who live on the Upper East Sideγγγγγγ
Xiao Peng took a comfortable bath and fell asleep, and he didn't know how long he slept, until he heard the faint sound of music, and Xiao Peng woke up.
Xiao Peng stretched, and the clothes that had been prepared were placed at the head of the bed. Xiao Peng picked it up and looked at it a little dumbfounded, it turned out to be a dress, a formal style that could no longer be formal, or the kind with a bow.
Made, when did Xiao Peng tie a bow? This Nima is hairy? Even if you have to wear formal clothes for such a banquet, you have to wear Huaxia formal clothes. Xiao Peng observed left and right, made sure that there was no monitoring in the house, and took out a set of clothes from the ring to put on, it was a set of pure white Chinese-style long linen men's clothes, improved from Hanfu, with a diagonal collar and a pipa buckle, which looked like a layman meditating and practicing meditation, stepping on a pair of old cloth shoes, which was called a sao bag.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Xiao Peng was very satisfied, is this right, Huaxia people should have the appearance of Huaxia people, right? As soon as he changed his clothes, he heard the sound of slamming the door, Xiao Peng didn't even have to think about it, it must be Yang Meng, if it was someone else, knocking on the door would definitely be much gentler.
"Come in! The door is not closed!" Xiao Peng shouted.
Yang Meng pushed the door and rushed in, also wearing a high-end suit, and holding a bow tie in his hand: "Dude, help, this special thingγγγγγγ I'll go, you're dressed up, so sassy!"
Xiao Peng looked stunned: "How is it?
Yang Meng's eyes lit up: "Is there any mine?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "This is really not, don't complain to me, how handsome you are in this suit, it is tailor-made at first glance." β
Yang Meng was speechless and said, "Damn, why didn't I think of ordering a few sets of Tang costumes." Let this group of foreigners open their eyes!Made, don't tie it, what kind of broken bow tie, the tie Lao Tzu has never tied twice in his life, and let me tie the bow tie?" Speaking of this, Yang Meng directly unbuttoned the button on the shirt and loosened his neck: "What a crime!"
Xiao Peng smiled: "I agree with this sentence, so I found such a set of clothes." As soon as the voice fell, the phone rang in the house, Xiao Peng picked up the phone, it was Pagio.
"Hey, Sleeping Beauty, are you up?" said Padgio with a smile.
Xiao Peng yawned: "I have to say, I had a good night's sleep this afternoon." I'm so tired all this time!"
"You wait for me in the room, and I'll go over. Padgio hung up.
Xiao Peng took out a cigar box from the pocket of his changed clothes and handed it to Yang Meng: "What do you say when Pagio sees the first words of the two of us?"
"HAT THE FXXX!" As soon as Padgio opened the door and saw Xiao Peng's outfit, he directly popped out and said, "Xiao, what are you doing?"
"What's wrong? what's wrong?" Xiao Peng looked at Pagio.
Pagio looked at the dress on the side: "Xiao, I prepared a dress for you, why don't you wear it?"
Xiao Peng asked Pagio rhetorically, "Why am I wearing those things?"
Pagio took a deep breath, "Xiao, I know you may not be comfortable with such an occasion, but this is the culture of our Stars and Stripes, and if you want to fit in here, you have to adapt to this." No way, that's what the Upper East Side celebrity circle is all about. β
"Stop, stop!" Xiao Peng waved his hand: "When did I say that I wanted to blend in here?"
"Huh?" Pagio was stunned.
Xiao Peng sneered: "Puji, are you mistaken? When did you arrange these drinking parties with my consent? I came here today because I gave you face, you are good, and even I have to arrange what I wear? What do you think I am? Are you marionettes?"
But Pagio didn't back down: "Xiao, please! Don't be so naΓ―ve, okay? You are also a shareholder of Prada! This kind of drinking party is the best publicity for Prada! Isn't this what you should do? Now that you are a shareholder of Prada, you have to integrate into our culture here! I don't pay attention to your Chinese culture, you see your jockey uniform, we are full of oriental elements in the design, but this is different! This is not a fashion show! This is a celebrity party! To participate in such a party, there must be rules for the party! I don't care if you usually wear your Huaxia big padded jacket on the street, but when you participate in a drinking party, you have to respect this drinking party, okay?"
"Falk Squid's integration into your culture!" Xiao Peng burst into a foul mouth: "Mr. Pagio Beltri, you listen to me! I am a Chinese, I will always be proud of our Chinese culture! I never thought about when I would have to integrate into your special 'Upper East Side celebrity circle!', if it weren't for the Chinese elements in your jockey uniforms! Lao Tzu is too lazy to wear it! Shet! When your shareholders are going to throw away our own culture and let you point fingers at me? Falk Squid! Don't you like to save all the shares in your own hands? Don't you want Lao Tzu's shares! You have money ready! If you don't buy Lao Tzu, throw this stock into the stock market! If you are not satisfied, I will call Wahab and ask him to sell the stock in his hand, and you will continue to be your domineering president!"
"Xiao, don't be unreasonable, okay?" Pagio snapped. "I know a lot of Chinese people, and there is no such unreasonable person as you!"
"Unreasonable?" Xiao Peng sneered: "Mr. Pagio-Beltri, I thought you knew me, but I didn't expect you to know nothing about me! I hope you understand something, we are just partners, I don't know what it's like for you to meet other Chinese people, but you expect me to grovel to you? Dude, you think too much! Go to a special drinking party, Lao Tzu won't play! Mengzi, let's go!"
Yang Meng stretched on the side: "I've been waiting for this sentence for a long time." I'm going to have a special bow tie!" He looked down at the bow tie he had thrown aside, "Why is there anyone hanging such an awkward thing? I'll hang one around the neck of the big dog and the second dog when we go back!"
The two got up and were about to go out, Pageo reached out to grab Xiao Peng, but Yang Meng stretched out a hand to stop Pageo: "Pageo, I don't want to be rough with you with your old arms and legs." Don't be bored!"
Pagio took a breath and looked at Xiao Peng: "Xiao, my friend, let's have a good talk!
Xiao Peng didn't look back, gave him a middle finger, and the two walked out of the room and slammed the door shut.
When the two walked down the stairs, there were not many people in the hall, and when they saw Xiao Peng, the two were stunned for a moment, and then began to applaud.
This is unreasonable, generally such a drinking party, the bigger the brand, the more it will appear later, you see that those real celebrities and celebrities have not yet come, and now they are all slightly inferior, so come early and get acquainted. And the main coffee often appears on the scene after everyone arrives, why did Xiao Peng come down so early? and with a serious face, what happened?
A sissy man came over with champagne and a smile: "Wow, you're so handsome in this dress." Is this Prada's new garment? This fabric, this design, it's just amazing. I don't know how much this Prada dress costs? 2,000 dollars? When it will be available? I can't wait to get a set. β
"It's available on Alibaba, and it's a full set of fifty dollars. Xiao Peng didn't look back, and walked out of the villa with Yang Meng, leaving a room of people looking at each other.
