Chapter 630 The Reputation of the Nine Statements

The statement did not know about the so-called possibility of becoming the future chairman of the board, chatting with Strasser on the deck, he also had a deeper understanding of the next destination.

And it was quite a coincidence that I met a commander with the same destination, a commander named Lin Sheng. Although we chatted for a while unexpectedly, Chen Ci found out that Lin Sheng boarded the ship halfway from Minggang and belonged to Minggang. The commander of the port area subconsciously thought of his old acquaintance Washington, and Chen Zi unconsciously felt a little closer.

After watching the submissions and Peter Strasser leave.

The black-haired beauty standing beside Lin Sheng asked softly, "Is this Commander Chen the one from Qionghai?"

She is Hiei, the second ship of the Kongo class.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to meet him. I heard a lot about him in Minggang before. He is really young and promising..." Lin Sheng said with a smile. He probably guessed it when he introduced each other. Although Chen Ci's identity is not well-known among ordinary people, in the commander's circle, people can't help but pay more attention to this kind of person who has done big things in succession.

In addition, Minggang and Qionghai are not far away, so although Chen Ci doesn't know what level his record is, but in the circle of these commanders, Chen Ci is indeed a big boss in Qionghai level exists.

"Hehe, I was still bragging with Lao Xu and the others before. I didn't expect to meet in a blink of an eye. However, it is a kind of luck to have a big boss sitting in this area. I didn't catch up with the Minggang school celebration. It is said that the battle at that time The fight went very smoothly, it seems to be the reason for this." As long as the commander's circle doesn't go out to show off his face, most people won't have any thoughts of jealousy, and it's normal to have some envy.

"Well, I don't know who that black-haired ship girl is just now? I feel like I've never seen it before." Hiei also nodded, his own port area is not strong, so there is no need to compare with these people.

"I have no impression, I haven't seen it...but no matter how you look at it, she is a main ship girl." Lin Sheng thought for a while and said, the same ship girl will also have different changes because of the commander, What's more, changing clothes or hairstyles will make a huge difference. In this case, unless it is a very famous or very distinctive ship girl, ordinary commanders may not be able to tell the difference.

......

"Commander, that person seemed to recognize you just now." Strasser couldn't help smiling when he remembered that the other party had misunderstood him as the secretary ship just now.

"I think maybe I recognized you, so I'm not so famous." Chen Ci doesn't think so, his port area is so low-key, he doesn't know many people, and he rarely shows up in the circle, so there is no chance of knowing himself so big.

"I'm not famous either. Zeppelin's 'B Airship' is a ship that almost doesn't even have a name." Strasser also shook her head. She hadn't heard of an existence similar to herself in all these years.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, it's not a big deal anyway, I'll go find Akashi first, didn't you agree to talk to Kaliyong?" There was no one in the living room of the suite, it seemed that everyone was in the room, Akashi even He got into the room as soon as he got on the boat, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Yeah." Strasser nodded.

Pushing open the door of Akashi's room, Chen Ci saw Akashi lying curled up on the bed, subconsciously approached with light steps, and Chen Ci saw that she was wearing a funny blindfold, and she seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Originally, he wanted to ask about the trade fair, but seeing Akashi sleeping so soundly, Chen Ci could only cover her with the quilt, then gently closed the door and walked out.

Strasser went to find Carillon, and Akashi was sleeping, and he really didn't know what to do for a while, so Chen Ci simply followed Akashi's example and went back to take a nap.

I don’t know how long it took before Chen Ci was called by Kaliyon to eat lunch. I don’t know if it was she or Strasser who bought it. After the meal, Chen Ci chatted with Akashi about the items that would be sold at the fair. Regarding equipment and boxes, after all, there is no point in throwing so many things in the warehouse to eat ashes. It is better to replace them with resources.

Of course, Akashi also has her own business this time, and she has a lot of weird things to sell at this fair, but she doesn't care about this kind of thing.

"Commander, do you want to play chess?" Carillon asked with a chess piece he got from no one knew where.

"Will you?" Chen Ci looked at her in surprise.

"Of course, what about Strasser and Akashi? Do you want to be together?" While talking, Carillon looked at Strasser and Akashi and asked.

"We have work to do meow~" Akashi said, shaking his head.

"Chess? Yes," Strasser said.

"Huh?" Chen Ci looked at her in surprise, Strasser shouldn't agree to such a boring way to pass the time, no matter what?

"Huh, what? Aren't you coming, Commander?" Carillon didn't think there was any problem, and Strasser didn't mean to explain.

"Since this is the case, come here. I'm not bragging. My chess level is one of the best in the port area. Don't give up so quickly." Chen Ci laughed.

"Hehe~ Then let Strasser and you come first." Carlyon smiled.

Strasser also unceremoniously sat across from Chen Ci, and soon began the first round. Chen Ci's expression changed from relaxed to dignified. Looking at Strasser, who still had a half-smile on the corner of his mouth, you guys How does the iron-blooded ship girl know chess?

Fortunately, the foundation is still there, losing the first game is not soul-stirring, and I kept my underwear...

Does the time-efficient Strasser waste time on things like chess?Chen Ci thought silently.

But fortunately, although Kaliyong was the one who brought up the game, he was the worst, and he lost worse than Chen Ci... The two looked at each other, confirmed their eyes, and they were all wrong.

......

After all, it was a pastime, and then Chen Ci and Carlyon were abused several times, but Chen Ci won once by accident, but looking at Strasser's expression, Chen Ci always felt that she was deliberately throwing water... ..

From chess to international chess to heavy Sakura shogi, Kaliyong was well prepared, but except for heavy Sakura's shogi statement and how many times Strasser was completely unfamiliar with her, the rest were all about Stella. Lacey performed alone, as for Go, it was because Carlyon himself hadn't learned it.

In the afternoon, the passenger ship stopped several times. Except for Akashi who did not go out after entering the room, Chen Ci, Carillon, and Strasser disembarked to get some fresh air while the passenger ship was docking, and bought some by the way. Snacks to bring back.

Chapter 640 First Meeting in St. Petersburg

The first time I saw St. Petersburg was a heavy snowfall.

It was eleven o'clock in the morning when Chen Shi and his group arrived in St. Petersburg, and there was a slight delay due to the heavy snow. Except for the carry-on luggage, the extra things had already been thrown into the ship's space. comfort.

Akashi finally came out of her house until before getting off the boat. She wrapped herself into a chubby ball, even wearing a knitted hat on her ears, and she just added an extra scarf around her neck , Carillon was similar, and Peter Strasser, who was extraordinarily classy, ​​also wore a down coat over a black dress.

"Huh~ why is it so cold?" The heavy snow blocked his vision, Chen Ci could only vaguely see the tall houses lined up in the distance, and the pine trees hanging on the snowdrifts, which became natural Christmas trees, but unfortunately it was not Christmas.

"Yeah, but it's snowing a lot here!" Kaliyong also temporarily lost that curiosity, tucking her fingers into her sleeves, stomping her feet lightly, and the Martin boots made a small hole in the snow.

"Because it's winter, let's go, it's not far from the station." Strasser was not surprised, some snow had already fallen on her shoulders.

"Commander, it's so cold, I can't walk anymore meow~" Akashi really acted like a cat, with a sluggish look, shaking his body from time to time.

There was no other way, Chen Ci could only hold Akashi with his hand, half dragging her along, the snow was falling heavily, naturally there were no pedestrians on the road, but luckily the distance from here to the train station was not too far.

Passing through a square with a statue of a knight in the port, although Chen Ci walked quickly, he could not help but observe the scenery in front of him. The simple and simple marble statues looked a bit old-fashioned, and there were tall buildings with spiers in the distance. Appears to be a church.

The houses here are also very distinctive. The overall color is relatively cold, mostly white or cyan, and light red. The style is completely different from Qionghai and places like Shenhua that I have been to. Obviously religious elements can be seen almost everywhere. Marble is the building The main base material of the base, and the walls are mostly paved with obvious flat stones.

The style is similar to those Western styles in the [-]th and [-]th centuries in Chen Ci’s impression of his own world. Chen Ci heard that religion here seems to be a part of people’s life, and there are churches everywhere, but Chen Ci is not clear about the specific conditions of these religions. After all, I don't believe in these things.

After passing through the square quickly, and walking along a wide road for a long time, Chen Ci saw the train station platform, and the army green train was parked on the tracks. According to Strasser’s plan, you can take the train here directly Xi town get off.

"Huh~ Although it's a little troublesome, I didn't expect it to be quite fun. I seem to have seen a bakery just now." Kalyon seemed to really regard this trip as a tourist, and said while patting Xuexue on the shoulder.

"It's not fun, it's so cold meow~" Akashi sneezed, showing a pitiful expression, his usual cunning was gone at this moment, it seemed that he was really afraid of the cold.

"Oh, the snow is actually not that big. It snows for one-third of the year in St. Petersburg. When the snow is heavy, the train can't run at all. Our luck is pretty good." Stella Se took off his hat and gently patted off the snow on it, then reached out his hand very naturally to wipe the snowflakes off his shoulders and the brim of the hat for Chen Zi.

Strasser's action made Chen Ci pause for a while, and he turned his head to look at the sparse figures walking in the snow, "I thought it was a heavy snow in Qionghai, but now it seems that it's just a little trouble. ...But speaking of it, when we go to Lixi Town this time, they will have staff to help arrange it? With such heavy snow, they won’t have a holiday, right?”

"Certainly not. The Maritime Bureau of St. Petersburg also has organized staff for this exchange meeting. Moreover, for an exchange meeting of this scale, they should have considered the heavy snow situation. We should find jobs at the station when we arrive. Personnel," Strasser said, shaking his head slightly.

"I hope, but it's only the 5th today. Go back and rest for a while. Let's go out for a stroll tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be the time for the exchange meeting. I'm also curious about sitting in a restaurant by the window and eating hot pot on a snowy day. How do you feel?" Chen Ci smiled, and one of the purposes of coming here early this time is also to want to stroll around here and get familiar with the environment.

"Is there any hot pot here?" Carlyon asked.

"Should there be?" Chen Ci said, looking at Strasser, the almighty Strasser.

"Yes, but the taste is a bit different from ours. If you are interested, you can come and try it tomorrow." Strasser said, although this kind of thing seems a waste of time, but since the commander has this Thinking about it, of course I can't understand the style.

"Hot pot meow?" Akashi barely regained some vitality.

"Let's talk about this tomorrow. Let's go buy tickets first. It will be bad luck if the train stops due to heavy snow." It was wrapped so thickly, and after standing outside for so long, the soles of my feet gradually became cold.

"Well, wait here, Commander, I'll buy a ticket." Strasser walked over as he spoke, his style was swift and decisive.

"Forget it, I'll go over to have a look too, you guys look at the luggage." Chen Ci followed up as he spoke, occasionally passers-by were talking, Chen Ci subconsciously pricked up his ears to listen, as if he didn't understand language.

If he was not short of money, he would naturally buy a ticket for the luxury car. Strasser booked a small car without hesitation, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Ci walking towards him, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" gone?"

"It's nothing, just come and have a look... You've already done it?" Chen Ci asked, looking at the ticket in her hand.

"Well, let's go, there is still half an hour to go, and the journey takes less than an hour." Strasser shook the ticket in his hand lightly and said. At this time, some people came to buy tickets, and what they said was indeed true. foreign language.

"You also understand the language here?" Chen Ci thought of something and asked Strasser.

"I've been here a few times, and I took the time to get to know it." Strasser said nonchalantly.

"Good fan...that's amazing. I almost forgot the only foreign language I have now." Chen Ci said, and this only foreign language was only learned for exams, and communicating with people is quite strenuous.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you." Strasser suddenly smiled after hearing the statement.

"Let's talk about it when we have time... But anyway, as long as you stay with Strasser, it doesn't matter if I don't know a foreign language." Chen Ci said immediately after hearing this, learning a foreign language is indeed a matter of course. It’s better to dream about it occasionally. If you want to master a language, you don’t have such an interest.

"Really? That's right, then follow me well." Hearing the statement, Strasser narrowed his wine-red eyes and looked at him slightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Chapter 640 Rich Town

Although I don’t know how much it cost, but looking at the luxuriously decorated carriages, Chen Ci still feels very surprised, but I didn’t expect that the layout of the train here is also very local, and it seems to overlap with the movies and TV dramas in Chen Ci’s memory. Up, the only difference is that this is real reality.

But I heard from Strasser that this is a luxury passenger train for sightseeing. It is said that you can take this train to reach most of St. Petersburg, and it is also the first choice for wealthy tourists.

After all, St. Petersburg is essentially composed of many small islands connected together. There are a large number of bridge connections on the island, which also constitutes the characteristics of this area. In winter, the narrow and long waterways between the islands can be temporarily frozen after freezing. pass.

Because of the relatively heavy snowfall today, the speed of the train is not fast, otherwise it would not take almost an hour to drive to a small town that is only a dozen kilometers away.

Compared to taking out a small blanket to wrap himself up as soon as he got in the car, leaning against the Akashi of the stove, and lying by the window with a curious expression, watching the statement of the coniferous forest passing by the window and Carillon, Stet After putting away the salute, Russell casually picked up a newspaper from the bookshelf in the carriage and read it.

"There's a lake there, we seem to be on the bridge now?" Kali Yong said with some enthusiasm as he reached out to wipe off the white mist on the window.

"Well, I heard that St. Petersburg itself is composed of islands that are close to each other, and the small town of Rishi we are going to is an independent island." Chen Zi showed off the news he learned from Strasser. with.

"It's very interesting, it's completely different from Luoshui and Qionghai." Carlyon said with a smile, she hasn't traveled much.

"Of course, I heard that there are bears here, isn't it, Strasser?" The statement said, turning to the quiet and elegant Strasser and asking.

"Hmm—the commander wants to get in touch with them?" Strasser put down the newspaper and looked at the statement with a smile.

"If you can help me pin the bear to the ground, I will consider it." Chen Ci laughed, but when talking about bears, Chen Ci thought of his own Aurora in his mind. She seems to have raised it before, right?If I remember correctly, she is the "Maozichuan" in history after all, a woman who can't stop drinking vodka.

"When encountering a bear, shouldn't the commander take the initiative to protect everyone?" Carillon couldn't help laughing when he heard the statement, although wild bears are indeed a huge threat to humans , but in front of this group of unnatural beings, they can only be pets.

"Come forward? Should I protect the bear or take the initiative to feed the bear?" Chen Ci said angrily, what kind of weak woman are you pretending to me, a weak woman who punched a bear into a bear cake?

"That's right, I feel a little bored." Carly never knew what picture she thought of, and she smiled maliciously.

......

After arriving in the town, as Strasser said, he quickly checked in with the help of the staff. He lived in a relatively quiet forest villa. The villa is not big, and the style is the same as before. The houses I saw occasionally on the way here were similar, and the thick marble walls really gave people a feeling of resistance to wind and cold weather.

As a matter of course, I changed all the bedding, because I didn't have time to go to the restaurant, so I asked the staff to bring lunch, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon after lunch.

The snow outside the house has become much smaller, and Akashi has regained his vitality. He is wrapped in a small blanket and writing and drawing with an electronic notebook by the fireplace. Although this trip is not very happy, but thinking of the next trade fair After making a fortune, she felt that all of this was a trivial matter...

After briefly looking up and down the house, she chose a room and went to take a nap. She didn't sleep well when she was on the boat. If it wasn't for the fun on the road, she probably regretted it long ago.

"If you're sleepy, you can go to your room and take a rest. I'll call you if something happens." Strasser just sent a message to the company to let everyone in the port area know that the commander has arrived.

"No, I don't feel sleepy, I'm going to go for a walk around later." Chen Ci shook his head.

"In this case, wait for me for a while, and I will accompany you." Strasser said after hearing Chen Ci's words. After all, when he just came here, he clearly saw a lot of signs to guard against wild brown bears. She still feels a little unreliable when people go out, not to mention that this unexpected situation is also one of the purposes of her going out this time.

"Huh~ Isn't it a pointless waste of time to go out and hang out with me? I didn't expect Strasser to waste precious time with me." Chen Ci joked and laughed.

Looking at Strasser at the side, wearing a long black dress and a down coat, she looks unreal in this snow-white world described in fairy tales, her snow-white skin looks even fairer against the snow, The same white-haired beauty, but with a different demeanor from Zeppelin.

"Hehe~ Should I say that you have self-knowledge? Or that you don't understand style?" Hearing the statement, Strasser looked down at the snow-covered ground and laughed softly.

If it feels like a waste, I won't really waste so much time preparing for this trip, but there is no need to say such things.

"But to be honest, Strasser really surprised me. I thought Strasser was the kind of person who paid special attention to time and was meticulous."

Of course, I know that Strasser, who has reached the "love" degree of favorability, is not like this. The statement is about the understanding of Strasser at the beginning. After all, the black double-tailed beauty with a time wheel on the vertical painting, It made the statement very easy to think of the "crazy beauty" who fought in a certain battle and another army concubine whom I had a deep impression on.

"Huh? That's true. It's just that some things have already invested time, so in order not to let the time go to waste, I certainly won't give up halfway. This may be a sensible choice, isn't it?" Stella After hearing the statement, Sai showed a thoughtful expression and said meaningfully.

Although, the meaning of this sentence, the statement also vaguely knew what she meant, "It is true, but is this kind of thing rational or irrational?"

After hearing the statement, Strasser gently raised his red lips: "Yes, is it rational or not? It is really a distressing question."

"By the way, has Strasser used any other names before?" Chen Ci suddenly asked.

"No, why?" Strasser was not surprised that the speech suddenly changed the topic.

"It's nothing, what do you think of the name Tokisaki Kurumi?"

"Sakura's name? I don't like it."

"What about Altair?"

"...What exactly are you trying to say? Do you want to give me a name?" Strasser asked, slightly puzzled by the statement with a smile on his lips.

"Forget it, it's nothing, I just thought of a fun thing..."

Chapter 640 Wang Yan Director

After wandering around for a while, although Lixi Town is a small town, the houses here are quite scattered. Chen Ci found that there are not many houses near where he lives, and based on a simple guess, it seems that no one lives there. , it may be that people have not come yet.

Through road signs and other means, Chen Ci barely had a general understanding of the more important buildings around him.

In the afternoon, the staff sent some documents and daily necessities. The materials mainly included some introductions to the history and current situation of the Great Ship and Giant Cannon Alliance, as well as some important matters of the upcoming exchange meeting.

After all, he is a director anyway, Chen Ci simply spent the afternoon familiarizing himself with the information with Strasser in the study. Although he had a brief understanding of the information of this alliance before, the information this time is more timely and richer than before. There are quite a few gifts for myself, and I even saw my photo on the list of directors and related introductions in the statement. Was the photo used in the original application used here?Chen Ci is very glad that he didn't just take a photo of his life at that time...

But what surprised the statement is that the number of directors of the Big Ship and Giant Cannon Alliance is much smaller than I imagined, less than 50, but the number of ordinary members is quite the same. The chairman is a handsome guy, but part of the white hair A little conspicuous, according to the introduction of the information, they are the first batch of commanders.

Commander is really an enviable group of guys, but fortunately, I am also... Thinking that I still maintain this face after decades, Chen Ci also feels very strange.
