[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 32

The kiss last night completely confirmed Rose and Carl's lover status.So when he got up early this morning, Carl quickly took care of himself and ran to stand guard outside Rose's room.As for the rose in his hand, he picked it up and threw it down again.Excited like a guy in his early twenties.

This made Andrew and Rufu, who were going to go for a walk early in the morning, amused.After saying hello to each other, those on guard stood on guard, and those on guard went for a walk.

"Honey, what do you think of Carl?" Rufu and Andrew asked casually as they walked on the deck, avoiding the same people who got up early for a walk.

Andrew thought about it seriously, and then said: "Compared to the dead Mr. Linxi, I am more optimistic about Mr. Hockley. Don't we still live in Hockley's old house when we arrive in the United States? At that time, you can still come back." Take a look." I have to say that Carl's superficial skills are very good, no, Andrew's impression of him is also very high.

The quality of servants in a mansion and the layout of the house fully demonstrate the other side of the owner.A good observation will also help them understand Karl.

"You're right, my dear. Do you have any other arrangements when you arrive in America? If not, you have to accompany me well." On the boat, although the two were together, they were usually busy on Titan. Walking around on the Nickelodeon.Ruf feels neglected.

"Of course, of course. My dear. When the Titanic arrives in New York, my work will be completely finished. The rest of the time will belong to you. I promise." Andrew stopped at one place and held Rufu Lifting his hand to his mouth, he pressed a soft kiss.Andrew has always cherished being able to have a home again.It is only after middle age that people understand how important a home is to everyone.

Rufu's eyes were full of joy.Looking at the man who looked at her with doting eyes, Lu Fu lowered his eyes and gently placed his other hand on his lower abdomen.

After a few days, when it is confirmed, tell him the good news.

Maybe with another child, their marriage will be stronger.

And she also sincerely wanted to give birth to a child of their blood for the man in front of her.belong to their children.Not because he is her husband, just because he is him.

The warmth was interrupted by people passing by. Andrew asked, "Leger, where are you going? Where are Carl and Rose? "

Seeing the questioner, Leger quickly stood still and replied: "Sir ordered me to invite Captain Smith to his cabin. Now Mr. and Miss are having breakfast."

"Then you go. If you are late, the captain may not be invited." Since boarding the Titanic, many first-class guests would invite Captain Smith to talk to him from time to time.Talk about the Titanic thing.It's almost becoming a trendy thing.Of course, their husband and wife are treated equally, which also takes up a little time and energy of their husband and wife.

Leger bowed to salute, stepped back and left.

Watching Leger leave, Rufu said: "Love is really amazing, even Rose is willing to get up early. My dear, it's getting late, let's go to the restaurant for breakfast." Bed, as her mother, Rufu has a deep understanding.What she couldn't accept the most was that Rose had already woken up and couldn't sleep anymore, but Rose would rather lie like that than get up.It really made her helpless.

Andrew agreed with a smile. They are all familiar people, so this kind of thing is naturally clear.Stretching out his arm for Rufu to hold, he walked harmoniously to the first-class restaurant.

On the other side, Rose, who got up early, also dressed up quickly, and while having breakfast with Carl, she said: "We still have church today, and your conversation with Captain Smith may be a little tight on time. Really Is it all right?"

Anticlimactic or something, the most cheating.

Swallowing the food in his mouth, Carl raised his head and smiled and said, "Honey, you have to believe in me, I will definitely do what I promised you. What's more, such a small matter is not difficult for me."

"Well, I believe you." Rose said with wide eyes and a charming face.

After breakfast, in Carl's room, when Leger said that Captain Smith would come in ten minutes, Rose took out a small wooden carved box from her handbag and handed it to Carl.

Carl took it and asked her with some puzzlement, "What is this?"

"It's for Captain Smith." Rose signaled Carl to open the box with her eyes.

After Karl opened the small box, he saw five gold bars neatly arranged.Eyes narrowed, a little understanding, but also a little angry.Rose just said that she believed in herself.How could this be done again.

"There is an old saying in China, which is called 'no profit can't afford early'. We let Captain Smith keep the speed of the ship at the original speed. It was nothing to do, but Captain Smith may not agree. I thought , Maybe he doesn't want to listen to our words, but he will not refuse our gift after thinking about it." With short hands, since he has accepted the gift, is he still ashamed to turn a blind eye?

"Actually, even without these, I still have a way to make him dare not refuse. Rose, there is absolutely no need for you to do this." Carl said, shaking the wooden box in his hand.

"I know, of course I know that such a trivial matter is nothing to you. But I just want you to spend less time on irrelevant people." Rose was afraid of hurting Carl's man. Self-esteem, so the last sentence has a little hint, a little coquettish.

When Carl heard Rose's words, he was very excited.He put the small wooden box aside casually, and hugged Rose into his arms.

"What do you say, what should I do? Although, I don't think it's necessary."

Rose put her hands lightly on Carl's chest, looked aside, and said softly, "We're not short of that little money, if he slows down the boat to normal, I'll give him another sum when he returns. Think of it as spending money to buy fun.”

"There are not many of these." With the beauty in his arms, Karl was a little distracted.Two hands stroked Rose's back and forth.

Rose glanced at him coquettishly, this man became more and more presumptuous. "It's just some gold, let's treat it as a tip. Does the steel tycoon still feel bad?" This was just in case.Rose didn't believe that Captain Smith dared to offend Carl.One must know that after this trip, he is about to retire.I really offended Carl by leaving tea to cool down, but he can easily settle it without the ability.

"What do you think?" Looking at Rose's mockup, Carl lowered his head, intending to kiss Rose's neck.

"Sir, Captain Smith is here." Leger stood outside the room, saw Captain Smith coming from around the corner, knocked on the door lightly, and sounded a reminder.

"Understood." Carl, who hadn't kissed him, had a hint of anger in his voice.

Breaking free from Carl's arms, Rose took a step back and said, "It's getting late, I have to go to church in a while, I'll wait for you in the study, hurry up." study.

After entering, he closed the door gently, until a thin crack was left, and then slowly let go.

Not to mention Rose struggling to move the big armchair in the study to the door, but Carl saw Rose enter the study, shook his head and tidied up his clothes with a chuckle, and then heard Ledger's knock on the door.

"Sir, Captain Smith is here." As Leger opened the door, he used his body to invite him in.

"Good morning, Captain Smith." Carl said with a smile, stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

Grasping Carl's extended hand, Captain Smith said politely, "Good morning, Mr. Hockley."

Courteous to each other, they sat down on the big sofa in the living room. After the servant brought the fragrant coffee, Captain Smith said: "I heard that Mr. Hockley has something to ask me, I wonder if it is?" The captain who has been dealing with it recently , asked leisurely.

As the captain of a ship, Smith had never imagined such a scene.In so many years of sailing career, it was the first time that he was treated with such respect.The nobles and rich people on this ship are all his passengers.They were sincere and sincerely invited him to tea parties and dinners.He will also be invited to their guest room to discuss the cruise ship and sailing together.This made him very proud and proud.

"A few days ago I heard that the captain ordered to speed up, is that true?" Straight to the point is the most time-saving way of speaking and can quickly get to the point.If before, Karl rarely did this.But today Rose was inside that door, and he really didn't want to waste his good time on the old man in front of him.

"Yes, you know, this will make the Titanic reach New York faster." Captain Smith did not avoid talking about Carl's question, because it is not a secret.

He knew that Mr. Hockley had a large amount of White Star stock in his hands.Although Mr. Imes is also the chairman of the White Star Company, the number of stocks he owns is far less than that of the person in front of him. In other words, there are quite a few guests on the ship who have more stocks than Imes.

"I remember that according to the time announced by the White Star Company, the Titanic will arrive in New York on the 20th, right?"

"Yes. But after speeding up, Titanic is expected to arrive in New York ahead of schedule next Tuesday, the 16th." Smith estimated the time and distance in his mind, and gave Carl a similar answer.

"That's the case, then why didn't Baixing Company announce this data before? Is it also Baixing Company's decision to speed up now?"

Carl's words made Captain Smith frown.The hand holding the coffee also began to turn white slowly due to the force.It was only then that Captain Smith remembered the data released by the company. How could he have forgotten this matter.Even if he wanted to speed up, he should have reported to the company first.

The Titanic is no other cruise ship, and the company takes it very seriously.On other cruise ships, the company may not interfere too much, but on the Titanic, it does not work.The company has invested a lot of money in this ship, so there is no room for error.

Well done Carl.When Rose heard Karl asking this in the study, she almost jumped up unhappy.

But as a captain, he wants to change the company's decision without authorization.It's a bit arrogant.And in the end, the Titanic fell into that terrible state, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people on board.Do you think that if you die together, you are right for those who died?All death is to blame.How many families were broken because of this, the elderly who lost their sons, the wives who lost their husbands, and the children who lost their father's protection, it was a kind of torture for them to live, not to mention those who died, sleeping at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean forever.

"Captain Smith, you haven't answered my question yet?" Carl stared at Smith with a good look and asked.

"Uh, I, I am the captain of this ship, and I think I have the right to make such a decision." Qiang replied calmly, and anyone could see the guilt in his words.

To be honest, he was actually a little worried about the acceleration, and this was the peak period of iceberg flow.And the Titanic was a new ship.For various reasons, it should not be accelerated on this voyage.But Ismay's words made him make such a decision in a feverish manner.Thinking about it now, I also found something wrong.

"This ship belongs to the White Star Company, and I own a large amount of stock in the White Star Company. I think I have the right to know the captain's reason for speeding up."

Captain Smith was a little speechless for Carl's words.At this time, only silence replaced everything.Those reasons that once persuaded me are so pale and weak when I think about it now.

"Being the captain of the maiden voyage of the Titanic, Captain Smith's name can already be recorded in the annals of history. The day the cruise ship arrives at the port, it will definitely be covered by newspapers in the United States, no, not only the United States, but also many European countries. Put it on the headlines. Do you think so?"

As a successful businessman, Carl knows how to make his opponents follow his own way of thinking.

"Yes, you are quite right, Mr. Hockley." Captain Smith agreed when he heard what Carl said.

"Its owner, its designer, and the captain of the maiden voyage will all be recorded. As long as he arrives in New York safely. Do you think so?"

"Yes." There is no doubt about it.Even if there will be better and bigger ships in the future, the Titanic will not be forgotten.Because he was number one.

"In that case, what difference does it make if this giant cruise ship arrives at the port earlier?"

There's none?Captain Smith suddenly realized that Ismay's words were no longer a matter of paleness, but something seriously wrong.

As this Mr. Hockley said, as long as the ship arrives in port according to plan, his name will be known.Even if he arrived early, it didn't have much to do with him.

"Actually, there is still a difference." Carl said casually after drinking the last sip of coffee in his mouth.

"May I ask what the difference is?"

Carl looked at Smith and said sternly: "The credibility of White Star Company will be questioned."
