After coming out of Mr. Andrew's room, Carl's heart was very heavy. Since he wanted to invest in the shares of White Star Company, he had done enough understanding, and even in order to please Ruth, he was able to say when she asked about Titanic. As soon as he came out, Karl read the information about the ship's construction in detail.So he naturally knows the importance of bulkheads. He is in the steel business, and he also knows that the Titanic's hull will not sink if it encounters an impact. Twenty ships, even half of the people are not enough.

"Sir, is there any problem?" Lai Jiefu asked worriedly. He brought up Karl by himself. He was not married, so he always regarded Karl as his own child. Recently, he saw Karl because of Miss Bookett. He was not happy about the matter, and he felt uncomfortable, so he was willing to follow a girl.

"Lai Jiefu, Jack told me today that he dreamed that the Titanic would sink." Carl said, holding his forehead.

Lai Jiefu's complexion immediately turned bad. It is not a good omen to have a dream of a ship sinking while on a boat. Although this is unfounded, it is a taboo among people who often take boats.

"Just now, when I was visiting the captain's cabin, I heard an iceberg warning, and there were only twenty lifeboats on the Titanic. Mr. Andrew told me that the height of the bulkheads on the Titanic was lowered privately during manufacture." Wiped Wiping his face, Carl said, he had actually begun to believe Yang Yi's words faintly in his heart, and those stocks that occupied most of his life, Carl had a premonition that he should listen to Yang Yi's words and sell the stocks.

As a young and promising businessman, of course he relies not only on his clever mind and heavenly business talent, but one of the most important points is his intuition.This kind of directness made him very smooth in the market for a time, just like the acquisition of Titanic stock this time, he sold it earlier than many people, so he bought 20.00% at the cheapest price, and now he has earned through the price difference. It's a big deal.

"What are we going to do next?" Lai Jiefu asked. He felt that these things were not good omens. Although he didn't understand ships, he knew that Titanic invested a lot in decoration in order to make it more luxurious. This ship The weight of the ship is already too great, if it encounters anything else, it will definitely sink very quickly.

"I plan to sell the stocks in my hand. Anyway, I have made a lot of money. Even if I sell it, I won't suffer a loss. And now I don't have much cash in my hand. I sell these stocks and exchange them for other stocks. Even if the Titanic arrives safely in Hong Kong in the end, it will be ridiculed by those who have stocks. No one here lives by White Star Company." Carl said, he thought for a while, and sold At most, stocks will only make him lose a sum of money in the future, and he will not lack that money anyway.But if he doesn't sell it, if something happens, then the 20.00% stock is enough for him to lose all his movable property.

"So what do I need to do?" Lai Jiefu has always supported Karl's decision. This is out of love for Karl and the instinct of a loyal housekeeper.

"Help me get in touch with the nearest ship to the Titanic, ask their directions, and keep in touch with him at any time."

"Yes." Lai Jiefu hurried out, no matter how luxurious the Titanic was, telegraphs could not be seen everywhere, so he had to go to a special communication room to send telegrams.

Carl went to Yang Yi's room after Lai Jiefu left. Yang Yi had already fallen asleep, but his face was still very bad. Carl climbed onto the bed, leaned against Yang Yi's side, and looked at the frowning sleep of this man. Yan, I felt very peaceful in my heart, as if as long as I was with him, I would feel peaceful.

Carl didn't know how he felt about this man, he was selfish, Ruth didn't think he said it, in the past, he would never have any communication with this man he didn't know at all, but this time he didn't know why He actually wanted to bring this man into his circle, and took the trouble to introduce him to those rich people who had many detours in their stomachs.

Yang Yi's sleep was restless. After boarding the Titanic, he never fell asleep peacefully. He kept dreaming about his first life, and then the two worlds after crossing. In the dream, he always mixes the original work with what he experienced, he can't tell which is true and false, he sees the lover in the dream leaving him, which makes him unacceptable, but he can't wake up .Then his dream would change, he saw himself standing on the sinking Titanic, all the people around were crying and screaming, madly wanting to get on the lifeboat, and then he sank into the bottom of the sea, The icy water surrounded him, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Ah, don't!" Yang Yi woke up covered in sweat, touched his bracelet, he finally felt relieved, at least he could hide in the bracelet.

"What's wrong, I had a nightmare!" Karl had already started to doze off, but he woke up after being called out by Yang Yi, and he asked while helping Yang Yi, "What did you dream about?"

"I've said it before." Yang Yi glanced at Karl who was sitting on his quilt, then at the clock on the wall, and asked, "Why are you here? It's already very late."

"I just came to see you, but I didn't expect to fall asleep." Seeing that Yang Yi was fine, Carl got off the bed, put on his shoes, turned to look at Yang Yi, and said, "I'm already planning to sell the stock."

Yang Yi opened his eyes to look at him. When he said this, he didn't think at all that Carl would listen to him and sell the stock, so he was very surprised when he heard it now, but he quickly realized it and asked: " What reason do you use to sell, 20.00%, everyone else is thinking about making money from stocks!"

"I've already thought of a reason. Everyone knows that I spent a lot of money to buy Ocean Star. Now it's normal to have no money to hold a wedding, so this reason should be fine." Carl said in the mirror, arranging his clothes.

"It's true, you can give everything for Miss Bucket!" Yang Yi said half mockingly.

Karl raised his eyebrows. He didn't know why when he heard Yang Yi say that, instead of feeling angry, he was very happy. "Okay, I'm leaving. The dinner should start soon. I'll get someone to bring you some food. You should have a good rest."

After Carl left, Yang Yi lay on the bed, looking at the clock that was turning around, time was running away, and the time of disaster was getting closer and closer, but he couldn't do anything, no matter how rich he was, He, who has no power here, can't change the minds of those in power.All he can do is wait.

The dinner was really early on, and appetizers had just begun when Carl arrived.Mrs. Bucket glanced at her daughter and found that she was in a daze, while Kent, who was sitting diagonally across from her, was staring at her without blinking.Mrs. Bucket immediately smiled, and asked Carl, "Carl, why are you here now? What happened?"

Molly also asked immediately: "I wanted to see Jack before, but I met Mr. Lai Jiefu at the door, and he said that Jack was asleep, and you are taking care of him, aren't you?"

"Yes, Jack has a terrible headache. The doctor prescribed some painkillers for him, but it didn't have much effect." Carl lied without blinking. He did ask the doctor to prescribe some painkillers for Yang Yi, but Yang Yi Yat didn't eat at all.

"Is Mr. Dawson okay now?" Mr. Andrew also asked with concern. In his opinion, Yang Yi can almost save his reputation, because if it weren't for him, Mr. Andrew would never know what he invested in. How dangerous is the life-long Titanic.

"He had a restless sleep, but he's awake now. You know he doesn't have a housekeeper, which is really inconvenient," Carl said.

Mrs. Bucket saw that Carl did not notice the strangeness of Ruth and Kent, which made her relieved and at the same time worried, so she kicked Ruth under the table and motioned her to talk to Carl.

Ruth is suffering very much now. She had agreed with Kent to read a book together on the deck today, but she missed the appointment. Now Kent looked at her and she was at a loss.Kent's eyes are so warm and affectionate, if her mother didn't threaten her with bankruptcy, she would definitely have a good talk with Kent, but now she really can't do anything.

Ruth smiled hard at Carl who was sitting opposite her, and said, "Carl, you have a very good relationship with Mr. Dawson."

Carl looked up at Ruth, and when he saw her barely meaningful smile, he just felt bored in his heart. It was always like this, as long as Ruth was facing him, Ruth would always look like this, unless He gave her precious stones and famous paintings.Carl noticed Ruth's clothes again. It was a grass-green silk skirt with lace at the neckline and cuffs.When Carl gave this skirt to Ruth, Ruth put it under the box. In her words, this skirt is only suitable for innocent girls, and she is no longer suitable.With a sneer, he glanced at Kent who had already withdrawn his gaze, and Carl said, "Yes, Jack and I get along very well, and I still want to work with him in the future."

Ruth was just looking for something to say just now, but she shut up after hearing what Carl said. She didn't understand business matters at all, so naturally she couldn't get in the conversation.

After dinner, the gentlemen gathered again to discuss their business.When Mr. Yard talked about buying the shares of a jewelry company, Carl said at the right time: "I plan to sell the shares of White Star Company. Does Mr. Yard think it will lose money if I sell it now?"

"Of course, Mr. Hockley, how did you come up with the idea of ​​selling the shares of White Star Company?" Mr. Yard asked in surprise. In his opinion, the shares of White Star Company will definitely make a fortune this time, and the ones that will be sold are fool.

Carl said with a hint of embarrassment: "You know that I spent a lot of money when I bought Ocean Star. To tell you the truth, half of my net worth was spent, and now the other half is in those stocks. After the engagement, I I want to marry Ruth as soon as possible, so I don't have enough money. You know that beautiful girls always have a lot of demands. Ruth once told me that she likes golden roses, so I must get her some. Hundreds of roses like that.” This Karl did not lie, because Ruth saw a gold brooch carved with roses in the jewelry store before, she thought it was very beautiful, but unfortunately the brooch was too small, the size of her little finger, and Ruth Si wasn't very satisfied with its size, so she didn't buy it.

"Oh, it's not good to dote on your future wife so much. You have to let them know that you are their god." Mr. Gu Gen said on the side. He took his mistress by boat this time. I heard that she is a great woman. singer.

"Then how much do you sell?" Mr. Yard asked.

"All." Carl said without blinking.

"What, you want to sell them all?" Mr. Ismay felt that Carl was crazy. He had asked the captain to boil the remaining four boilers. The Titanic would arrive much earlier than expected. The United States is bound to become a sensational news in the world at that time. It is conceivable that those stocks will definitely rise a lot at that time.

"Yes, I plan to have a world wedding, so that I can be worthy of Ocean Star."

Carl successfully sold the 20.00% of the stock to other people in one night. He looked at the documents in his hand and sighed. He sold everything, and it was useless to think about anything else.

After coming out of the communication room, Carl walked on the deck alone. The sea was very calm, without even a wave, but he didn't know if this was the calm before the storm.

"Kent, where are you taking me?" A low voice came from the stairs beside him.

When Carl looked up, he saw Ruth's skirt disappear into the darkness. His body froze for a moment, but he soon relaxed again. When he was talking about the wedding, Carl didn't have much relationship with Ruth. Thinking of getting married.But no matter who he marries, it is actually the same for Karl, but there are not many nobles now, and it is good for him to be able to marry Ruth.So now he just had to wait, and wait to see Ruth decide for herself that if she was acting beyond his limits, then he wouldn't marry her for that little benefit either.

By the time Karl realized it, he had already entered Yang Yi's room, Yang Yi had already fallen asleep, and he was still eating a normal dinner on his bedside.Carl walked over to help him cover the kicked quilt, but Yang Yi grabbed his hand.

With fingers intertwined, Yang Yi muttered, "Go to sleep, it's getting late."

Carl was stunned, knowing that Yang Yi had identified the wrong person, but at this moment he suddenly didn't want to explain, seeing Yang Yi move sideways into the bed with his eyes closed, Carl took off his coat and climbed onto the bed.
