Chapter 413: Bad Habits
Watching Josh load him into the ambulance, Kohler knew that Josh was in serious trouble.
There's no way Baylor University wants a football player with a broken leg, and Josh has taken $50,000! If this matter is not handled well, it is a question of whether Josh will have the college to ask him.
Xiao Peng walked up to Kohler with Josh's handbag containing money: "Your name is γγγγγγ Kohler: Right? It's Josh's money, and I'm sorry this happened, but it's baseball, isn't it? You're his friend, and I'll give it to you. You take him to the hospital and contact his family by the way. I'm also sorry that something like this happened. After saying that, he handed the handbag full of money to Kohler, with a look of regret and regret.
Kohler took the handbag in a daze, looked at Xiao Peng's expression, and was about to scold the street in his heartγγγγγγ This Xiao Peng, it's too shameless, right?
Before the two competed, Xiao Peng said that he didn't want the money, and kept it for Josh's medical expenses, what does this mean? It shows that Xiao Peng had long thought that there would be this result.
But no one believes it, it's baseball! It's impossible for the best professional player to play anywhere, and it also makes people break a leg? Isn't this a fantasy? This duel was provoked by Josh, and in the end this result can only be said to be Josh's own doing.
What do you say about Josh? Don't you see that people don't like you at all? You have to find fault yourself, and you are happy with the result? But now it is useless to say anything, so I got into the ambulance and accompanied Josh to the hospital.
Xiao Peng watched them leave, but Dirk came over and patted Xiao Peng on the shoulder: "Xiao, don't you see, are you still a baseball master?"
Xiao Peng pretended to be stupid and deaf: "It's just luck to be able to hit." β
Dirk smiled: "I've been next to you just now, I can see his pitching line and your shot very clearly, you are obviously very confident to hit this ball, right?"
Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, and Dirk continued to ask, "Why don't you want his money? Anyway, that young man is quite pitiful, why do you provoke you when you have nothing to do?"
The two returned to the stands, and Xiao Peng and Dirk took a sip of beer: "I read a book, which is Adam Smith's "Theory of Moral Sentiments", which says that when a person lives on an uninhabited island, because he has no eyes from others, he can starve and live in a dilapidated house without eaves. But let the uninhabited island come a second person, this originally lonely man once realizes that there are others, his vanity starts to work------- he wants to gain the respect of others. This is the nature of human beings, especially men, who are very fond of proving themselves, but they have chosen the wrong way to prove themselves. β
Deco was puzzled: "But why don't you want his money? That's 35,000 dollars!"
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "We have summarized some of the ugliest behaviors in Huaxia, among which the first one is 'the waist has ten Wen will be vibrating', what does it mean? We all have such people in our lives, the LOGOs of various brands in the photos are bigger than the face, the clothes that can't show the brand name are not showy, the shoes and bags that can't see the brand characteristics are not sun, and the life is clearly marked, and I don't have much money, but I just want to hear others say: You are really rich." But is he really rich? wants to rely on a few cents to show his worth, and in the end it can only make people think that this person is cheesy. I don't want to put myself in the same position as him. β
Dirk thought for a long time after hearing this, and muttered in his mouth: "Ten Wen on the waist will be vibrateγγγγγγ I will tell my children this sentence, but I can't let him do the same, you just said some of the ugliest acts? What else?"
Xiao Peng stretched out a finger: "And 'every time you talk to someone, you must talk about noble relatives', it's too vulgar to talk about money? What 'my friend's annual salary is million', 'my uncle is a business tycoon', 'my classmate is a celebrity Internet celebrity', 'my seventh aunt's eighth aunt's ninth brother-in-law's twelfth nephew is a leader's brother-in-law's driver's neighbor', these so-called 'friends' are secondary to themselves, the important thing is 'this powerful person is my friend'. β
"Just like a reporter surnamed Rui in our Huaxia, he keeps saying that the former president of the Stars and Stripes Country, the former Secretary of State, the former Prime Minister of the Japanese State, and the former Prime Minister of the Kangaroo Country are all his 'old friends', in fact, he is an ordinary reporter, and he thinks he is one of them when he interviews others, so he has no clear self-awareness of himself, and wants to rely on his friends to improve his worth, Dirk, do you think this behavior is not ugly?"
"It's ugly enough. Dirk took a sip of his beer, "What else?" Dirk listened with relish.
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "There is also 'When you meet a beauty, you must rush to Suoden-bed', which is the so-called anxious pervert." This man is moved to pursue when he meets a beautiful woman, this is really not a big deal, after all, this is human nature, but those who want to do it dare not do it, and when they meet a beauty, they want to rub the oil, it makes people speechless, such as what bus hooligans, such as those workplace 'unspoken rules' in the entertainment industry 'unspoken rules' and the like, such hooliganism can only be described as dirty, don't you know what respect is at all?"
Dirk laughed: "That's right, that's a good point, the recent events in Hollywood have added a lot of topics to our lives." β
The hottest topic in the Stars and Stripes right now is the sex scandal caused by Hollywood star producer Harvey Weinstein. First, a group of celebrities said that Harvey Weinstein sexually harassed them, and then it became more and more intense, turning into a vigorous campaign to expose sex scandals, from the entertainment industry to the business world, the press, celebrities, politicians and even the military, all kinds of big names were exposed, and some of the biggest names lost their jobs because of it. A growing number of victims are pouring out past scandals, with accusations ranging from well-known orchestra conductors and restaurant and hotel chain owners to mid-level managers at Ford Motor Corporation.
Now the favorite after-dinner chat content of the Stars and Stripes people is who has found out recentlyγγγγγγ It is not unusual for such a thing to happen in the Stars and Stripes, after all, this is the money politics of the Stars and Stripes. Take Harvey Weinstein as an example, when Ao Guanhai was in power, Harvey was a frequent visitor to the White House, and Ao Guanhai's eldest daughter interned in Harvey's film and television company.
"Xiao, keep talking, what else is ugly?" Dirk became more and more interested the more he listened, and gave Xiao Peng a glass.
Xiao Peng drank the beer in his hand and continued: "There is also 'when you see someone asking for directions, you must be arrogant', here it does not refer to asking for directions, but refers to people being selfish, a selfish person, always accustomed to pleasing himself in the most important position, knowing a little new knowledge, holding a little power in his eyes no one." It should be an equal relationship, and pretending to be a posture is also to realize one's 'superiority', and the arrogance of such a pretending is difficult to gain the respect of others even if the posture is high. β
Regarding such a person, the best example is Yan Xiaoliu in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden". When Lao Xing was demoted, Tong Xiangyu called him Xing to catch the head, and Yan Xiaoliu directly told her in righteous words: There is only one head catcher in this town!
Without waiting for Dirk to continue to ask, Xiao Peng continued: "There is also 'a small favor for others will be widely spread to the public', talking about their good deeds, the real helpful person, seeking peace of mind and satisfaction after giving favors, not to show off how kind they are, compared to your 'one hundred dollars', it is much better than our domestic counterparts." β
The 'one hundred dollars' that Xiao Peng said was an anchor Internet celebrity in the Stars and Stripes Country, who gave a beggar a hundred dollars to see what the beggar would do with the money, but the beggar took the money and went to the store, not knowing what he bought.
The anchor guessed that the beggar would go buy alcohol or something, and he ended up buying a lot of food and sharing it with the beggars in the neighborhood. The anchor was shocked and gave him another hundred dollars.
This incident caused a huge repercussion in the Stars and Stripes Country, full of love, but within a few days, things turned around, and it turned out that what the beggar did was arranged by the anchor, which was to deceive the public.
However, there are still many people who choose to forgive him, because after all, this place makes people pay attention to the living conditions of the homeless population, and it is full of positive energy, isn't it?
But those Internet celebrity anchors in Huaxia are not as good as these stars and stripes counterparts. is like a number of anchors on a live broadcast platform who went to the poor area of Liangshan, Sichuan to do charity. Looking at those anchors who are stabbing dragons and tigers, but giving stacks of money to poor villagers, such a public welfare live broadcast can easily arouse the audience's recognition of their character, so as to quickly increase their fans and earn more money.
This is also a good thing, but you can't go to the villagers to get the money back after the live broadcast! Take advantage of the villagers' predicament and do some hypocritical and fake charity yourself, this special thing can't be said with kindness, it's just a beast!
"There is also 'talking to people and borrowing tricks to get away with it', such a person opens his mouth, 'Don't be angry after listening, actuallyγγγγγγ When I heard this, I got angry, and I knew that others would be angry when I heard it, and I continued to say it, but it was a low-quality performance, and I had nothing to say about it, but in fact, it was bitter and mean. β
"Similar to this, there is also 'seeing people often talk a lot, but behind their backs they expose people's shortcomings', that is, people who are inconsistent on the outside and hide knives in their smiles, such people don't need to be explained, almost everyone knows such people around them. β
"There are also borrowed money and not repaid, classmates will pretend to be forced, etc., all of which are extremely annoying behaviors. Xiao Peng finally made a summary.
Dirk was stunned for a moment: "You also have a class reunion in Huaxia?"
βγγγγγγ Xiao Peng gave him a roll of his eyes.
"Hey, don't get me wrong, I hate going to the class reunion too, the current class reunion has changed. It's not like it was when I was in school anymore, and now the class reunion is, in the final analysis, a psychological subjugation of male classmates, and a physical conquest of female classmates, and there is no longer what it was like when I was in school!" Dirk said.
Xiao Peng laughed: "It's all the same, and so are we there." β
When Dirk heard this, he showed a sly smile: "Hey, Xiao, have you conquered a female classmate?"
Xiao Peng sighed: "Actually, I am the target that female classmates are eager to conquer." It's just that I don't want to give them a chance. β
"Poof, you're really good at blowing. β
