[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 22

At this time, there were already many people arriving at the restaurant for lunch.When Rose and Carl arrived, they happened to see Rufu sitting with Ismay and the others.Going forward, after greeting each other, everyone started the previous conversation.

In the luxury dining room of the first class, dignified guests gather to dine together.It is not so much a meal as an upper-class way of socializing.And often the actual content of this kind of intercourse is filled with displays of power and wealth.What is going on now is just such an activity.

Compared with the dining table culture of the Chinese, the table culture of the foreigners is less reserved.This is actually a good thing for a single cell like Rose.After all, Chinese people like to be roundabout, and sometimes a dozen sentences express very subtle meanings.But foreigners, straight to the point, sometimes a word, you can know what he wants to express.

For example, right now, facing Rose is Ismay, the shareholder of the White Star Company, holding a glass of wine in her forehand, saying excitedly, "This ship is the largest passenger ship in the history of human shipbuilding."

This is also the shortest voyage and the fastest sinking passenger ship in human history.It was also recorded in the history books.

Rose lowered her eyes, agreeing in her heart.

Ismay finished complimenting the ship and started to praise the designer.Rose wondered speechlessly, whether she would still praise the Hockley family for providing steel.

"No, she doesn't drink, go get some freshly fried juice." Rose's thinking was interrupted by Carl's somewhat arrogant voice.When she came back to her senses, she happened to see a waiter in a restaurant about to pour wine for her.

Rose shook her head with a smile, and said, "Thank you, I don't need it. Please give me a glass of juice as the gentleman said just now." According to the purchasing power of modern times and this era, her salary back then was not as good as the waiters on these ships. Should be born.

The waiter was a little flattered when he heard Rose's words.First-class passengers rarely have anyone to say thank you to them.

Not paying attention to the waiter, Rose continued to listen to Ismay's advertising-like boast.And Carl, who saw Rose smiling at the waiter but not at himself, had a look of annoyance in his eyes, grinned slightly, and then suppressed it.

Carl can be regarded as the sweetheart of heaven, growing up so big, he also tasted a little frustration from Rose.Carl still remembers something Rose said in a conversation with Rose once.

"Carl, since God created man, nothing in this world is fair. But whether it is fair or not is beyond our control. However, there are many opportunities and crises in a person's life. Some people seize When the opportunity comes, you get rich overnight. Some people have nothing when they encounter a crisis. Right?"

Karl remembered that he nodded at the time.Then Rose went on.

"Today, people who may be insignificant may get rich in one fell swoop because of certain opportunities. We call such people nouveau riche. Because we think their family background is too shallow. But what about their descendants. If there is no crisis , is it just like us now? And our ancestors and ancestors were also the predecessors of the nouveau riche? If this is the case, what qualifications do we have to despise those poor and nouveau riche?"

Carl still remembers these words.He wanted to refute, but there was no way to refute.He wanted to agree, but the pride of many years could not lower his always proud head.

Alas, needless to say, it must be the attitude just now that has offended her again.Alas, women are such a hassle.Why couldn't Rose be like other women.

Andrew smiled reservedly at the boss's compliment.Seeing Andrew's expression, Rose was very happy for Rufu's eyes.Such a man is a hundred times stronger than some sanctimonious ones.

At least a thousand times stronger than Imes.He was the one who speeded up the cruise ship, and he was the one who had the best chance of grabbing the lifeboat.The person who should stay in the Atlantic Ocean with Titanic the most is him.

Just when Rose was about to growl with hunger, the waiter asked one by one what dishes to order.You, is this the realistic version of eating something before eating?

The waiter asked Rose, and Rose ordered a steak.Carl thought that Rose had been fond of Chinese food recently, so he asked the waiter if they had Chinese food.

"Yes, the chef made some fish roe sushi." The waiter replied.

"Rose, would you like some?" Carl, who never cared much about food, didn't notice anything.

"Sushi is the food of Fusang. What's so delicious in that country? It's disgusting." Rose said maliciously.

Seeing Rose like this for the first time, Carl was a little taken aback.This is a few meanings, isn't Fusang an island country on the other side of China?Rose likes Huaxia so much, why does she hate Fusang so much?

"Sorry, miss, I didn't understand where the food came from." The waiter apologized immediately after hearing this.

"It's okay, people in that country are very shameless. They often do such things in the name of other countries."

"Oh, Rose. Are you talking about Fuso?" Emeth interjected.

"Yes, Mr. Imes."

"I heard that Fusang is clamoring every day to leave Asia and enter Europe. Will such a thing happen?" A lady also interjected.Although her background in the upper class is just a low-class family, compared with those Fusang people, as a European, she has a natural advantage.

"No way. Such a country. If such a citizen becomes a European citizen, it will lower the overall quality of the Europeans. This is terrible." Rose said with a look of shock.There was panic in the voice, and it was a little high.

"Why do you say that?" Everyone asked in surprise.

Rose saw that everyone's curiosity had been aroused, so she cleared her throat, and said disdainfully: "Fusang is only an island country, and everyone sitting here is busy, so it's only natural that you didn't notice it. Things. The reason why I noticed Fusang was because of my recent research on Huaxia. "

Everyone was a little anxious, "What is it, Rose tell us quickly." The gossip hearts of the people at the table were ignited.

"There are so many robbers in this country." Originally, Rose wanted to say pirates.After thinking about it, British nobles are generally of pirate origin.They changed pirates to robbers.

"The character of the Fusang people is very abnormal. They are a bloody, perverted and bloodthirsty nation. The Fusang people are stubborn, self-willed, self-willed, ignorant, servile to their superiors, and cruel to their subordinates."

Speaking of this, Rose paused again, lowered her voice a bit, and then continued: "Fusang people kill people at every turn, and commit suicide at every turn. They don't take their own lives seriously, let alone others'. Life is in the heart. Therefore, Fusang is full of chaos and vendetta. Oh, they like to commit suicide by cutting open their stomachs. Holding a long knife, stab it in the stomach, and then hold the handle of the knife and turn it back and forth. Until the intestines are dragged Pull it out. Let the blood..."

"Oh, God. Don't say any more, my good girl. This is too terrible." Rufu was the first one who couldn't take it anymore, and stopped Rose loudly.

Rose's words were low-pitched and slow.It was easy for people to follow her words and enter that scene.

"Mom, as British people, we must know the details of the Fusang people, otherwise we will be deceived by their well-dressed appearance. You don't know that the ancestors of the Fusang people used human skulls as wine glasses to drink. I suspect Foods like sashimi may have evolved from eating people raw."

"I always thought that the country of Fusang was a country with perfect etiquette. I didn't expect there to be such bad customs. It's true." Imes didn't know how to describe it.

"Knowing people, knowing the face, but not the heart. So, when I think of such a country becoming a member of Europe, I feel chills." Rose took it over.

"Yes, yes, yes. I have the same feeling." They have also seen Fusang people in Britain and other places, but they really didn't expect Fusang people to look like this in private.

"Moreover, the Fusang people are the most capricious. They were once a vassal state of Huaxia. They sent people to Huaxia many times, either to study or ask for help. Later, whenever Huaxia's national strength declined, they took the opportunity to bite like a mad dog. When China's national strength rises, it will be like a domestic dog meeting its master, wagging its tail and begging for mercy, ungrateful, shameless."

In fact, Rose has no other meaning. In fact, Huaxia's image can't be improved in the hearts of these British guys.Rose had tried, too, but with little success.Rose, however, was careless.When there is no way to improve Huaxia's image, all she can do is to lower the British's impression of Fusang within her ability.

Anyway, it's not going to get better, and no one can run away.Huaxia is not going to get better, and Fusang can't even think about getting out of it.

"A few days ago, a businessman from Fusang bought steel from Hockley's house. After listening to Rose's words today, I have to think carefully about whether this business should be done." Karl heard Rose If so, the first thought is that Rose doesn't like the Fusang people, and I can't do business with the Fusang people.

Rose heard Carl's words, turned her head and smiled at him.At critical moments, she doesn't mind using a beauty trick.

Carl saw himself saying this, and Rose would smile at him like this.Immediately made a decision in my heart.Let Leger send a telegram later.Starting today, the Hockley family will never sell a piece of steel to the Fusang people again.His family's business does not worry about no customers.

At the same time, I was thinking about it again.If she could prevent others from doing business with the Fusang people, would Rose agree to his pursuit?Maybe, he could try to ask her.

A passage from Rose, not what Carl thinks.Just the people at this table felt a little uncomfortable.Such a bloody description just now.Then look at the meal served by the waiter.Suddenly, everyone lost their appetite.

In fact, not only the people at their table heard Rose's words, but also the waiters behind them, and the people at several nearby tables.Now, there are actually more than these few people who can't eat.Looking at the delicious lunch, everyone was deeply angry at Fusang and the people of Fusang in the topic.

"Okay, let's not mention that disappointing country anymore. Let's talk about our Titanic. He is so perfect." Imes looked at the unnatural faces of everyone, and changed the topic again return.

"Yes, although I have just boarded the ship, the charm of this ship has completely conquered me. I heard that the trip is only ten days, which is too short." Rose also followed Emeth's words and continued the topic. down.

"Oh, thank you for liking. It's a real pleasure for us."

"Hehe, what Rose said is right. Mr. Imes, this voyage is only a short ten days, which is indeed too short." To be able to live with Rose is only separated by a corridor.Karl wished that this voyage would last for dozens of days.

"To be honest, I think it's too slow. In fact, the Titanic is not going as fast as it should be. It can be faster." Imes actually wanted to let the Titanic go full speed up.

"No, it's already faster. You can't take away the joy of our travels."
