[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 33

Hearing Carl's words, Captain Smith retorted: "Why? How does this affect the company's reputation? Wouldn't arriving earlier improve the company's reputation?"

"If it is really possible to arrive earlier, why didn't the White Star Company announce it directly when it announced the Titanic's itinerary. Why did it announce that it was ten days at that time, but the actual voyage only took about six days?"

"This is because the last four boilers were not added when the speed was measured." Captain Smith replied subconsciously.

"Then why didn't you join in the speed test?" Carl was aggressive and did not relax.

"Because that's not necessary. On a ship as large as the Titanic, the last four boilers are just spares."

"Since it's a spare, why use it now? Captain Smith, do you know what you're doing?" Carl knocked it down with a stick.

Captain Smith's voice also rose. Carl's words sounded a bit heavy to him, "I did this for the good of the company, Mr. Hockley."

"Hmph, for the good of the company? Not necessarily, I think you are dissatisfied with the company, so you will use this to damage the company's interests"

"Please don't talk so nonsense, Mr. Hockley. This is slander." Captain Smith stood up from his seat and looked at Carl sternly.

"This is a fact. The company's decision is changed day and night, and the trust of customers in the company will be greatly reduced. Today the company's ship may arrive early, who can guarantee that the company's ship will not be delayed in the future? Captain Smith, don't worry about it. Small losses are big."

How can a captain compare to the profiteers who often negotiate with people in the mall.But after a few back and forth, Captain Smith hesitated.

"In other words, if you don't mention these premises, just talk about the Titanic. If you arrive in New York in advance, what good will it do for Mr. Captain? That was designed by Mr. Andrew, and that is the boiler of the machinery company. Then It is a good result made under the company's wise decision-making. In this glory, it has nothing to do with who the captain is. I really want to know the original intention of Captain Smith when making such a decision."

Carl's words, this time, completely cooled Captain Smith's blood.

Like an iceberg!

"Having said so much, my personal suggestion is that I just hope that Captain Smith will think about it and bring the ship's speed back to the plan. I think, if the company knows, this will also be the idea of ​​​​the headquarters of the White Star Company."

"I'll think about it." Looking at the cold coffee in front of him, Captain Smith said with a bad feeling in his heart.

After hearing what Mr. Hockley said today, Captain Smith realized that he had thought things too well.

"Captain Smith is about to retire. I think your pension should not be small because you have served the White Star Company for so many years. I am here to congratulate you in advance." Carl's words actually hinted at Captain Smith , any of his decisions may affect how much he will receive pension in the future.

Yes, how could he forget about this matter.Years of carefulness, how did he relax in the end?The mentality of not seeking merit, but seeking no faults, he has been practicing for decades, and it is reckless when it comes to it.

If this makes the company dissatisfied, his pension may lose a part of the company's special bonus.You should know that employees who retire every year, as long as they perform well and make no major mistakes, in addition to a pension within the prescribed range, the company will also issue an additional bonus.

It's his turn, if he doesn't have one, or if he is less than others, then he will be ashamed, and where will he save his face in the future.

Well, Smith took a deep breath, he decided to go back and check the speed of the boat.Fortunately, when the person was notified to speed up yesterday, there were more or less problems with the remaining four boilers, and he was about to have someone check them out today.Now it seems that there is no need to speed up. If Mr. Ismay asks, he has a reason to reply him.

"Oh, that's right. When I was chatting with Ms. Bucket before, I talked about your retirement this year. So, she specially prepared a small gift for you. Please let me pass it to you."

Carl looked up just in time to see the wooden box he had put aside casually, and thought that Rose was listening inside, although he didn't think it was necessary to give this huge tip, but who asked his woman to do this.

Captain Smith was a little puzzled, why did that Miss Bucket give him a gift?He took the wooden box handed over by Carl and opened it.Smith's eyes lit up.

"Snap" sound box on the wooden box.Captain Smith asked a little excitedly: "Mr. Hockley, you don't get paid for nothing, isn't that true?" This is too precious.Gold bars, several gold bars are coded in a small box.

"Captain Smith, please accept it. Rose said that she likes the Titanic very much. The Titanic is very stable and makes her feel very comfortable. She likes the 'ten days' voyage very much."

When Karl said this, he deliberately emphasized the tone of "ten days". He believed that Captain Smith would understand what he meant.

Hearing Carl's words, Smith understood.Isn't it just ten days?No problem at all.If Karl hadn't said something earlier, he could have allowed the boat to sail for a few more days.

"Mr. Hockley, please help me tell Ms. Buckett that the Titanic will definitely arrive in New York on the morning of the 20th. I very much believe that Miss Buckett will have a perfect trip. Of course, and you, Mr Hockley."

Thinking of the well-made, state-of-the-art and expensive binoculars that Miss Bucket had given to the ship, Smith believed that they were gold bars given to him by Miss Bucket.An aristocratic lady, who gave away almost a small wooden box of gold bars as soon as she made a move?This is really shocking. It seems that the Bookett family is not as ruined as the outside rumors.The heritage of the ancient family seems to have survived.

As for the matter of thanking Miss Bucket in person when he turned around, Captain Smith felt that it was unnecessary. If Miss Bucket was willing to listen to him thank him, he would naturally give him this 'small gift' in person.Now she doesn't show up.Thinking about it, there was no need for him to say anything in person.

"Thank you." Carl nodded reservedly.

Smith raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said, "It's almost time for worship. I need to go to make an inspection in advance. If Mr. Hockley has nothing to do, please allow me to leave first."

"Of course, I've already troubled Captain Smith all morning." Seeing Captain Smith stand up, Karl also stood up.

The two flattered each other a few more words, and they agreed to visit the entire Titanic after worshiping together in the dining room.

It wasn't until Carl sent Captain Smith out of the room that Rose realized that she was weak.Look at Karl, one stick and one sweet date, he settled the matter.As for the sweet dates, to be honest, it might as well be said to be an addition.

If she had known, she would not have taken it out.Carl, the man, settled the matter without breaking a sweat, and she did.A lot of meat and a lot of gold are gone for nothing.

She now knows why God arranged a gold exchange system for her.Without this system, she would really have to wait for someone to raise her.

After seeing off Captain Smith and opening the study, Karl saw Rose's face constantly changing.Frown for a while and get angry, pout for a while and be angry for a while, and smile again for a while.This look is very vivid and interesting.

"What's the matter, baby. Are you dissatisfied with my handling?" The things were also delivered, and the conversation was also made.He was ninety-nine percent sure that Captain Smith would stop thinking about speeding up.

Walk over gently and squat down.Right next to Rose's leg, he asked the confused girl in front of him with a seductive voice.

"No, very satisfied. Carl, why are you Carl?" Rose looked down at the person squatting in front of her.I don't understand why Rose doesn't like him.Isn't such a person a thousand times better than that wandering painter who can only talk about it?

"Your satisfaction is my honor." While speaking, she stretched out her hand and gently pulled Rose's head down.

Kiss her, kiss her reverently.With a trace of satisfaction, he embraced her in his arms.He couldn't describe this kind of satisfaction, the feeling as if he had found a rib that was lost at birth.

During church today, Rose was a little distracted.In fact, whenever there was church, Rose's mind wandered.

Rose doesn't believe in Buddhism or religion.She always felt that she believed in these things, and she couldn't be as persistent and devout as before.Besides, she didn't think believing it would help her in life.Maybe it’s because I always heard people say that the heavy hardships in this life are either to pay off the debts owed in the previous life, or to accumulate the blessings of the next life, so we have to face it calmly.Maybe these theories are very inconsistent with Rose's personality concept, so she subconsciously rejects them.

I still don't know what to do in this life, who has the time to care about the past life and the next life with nothing to do.

But today, when Rose was distracted, she found that Karl was also distracted.Carl's trousers were tugged lightly in a troublesome way, and Rose wanted to take back her hand, but Carl unexpectedly grabbed Rose's messy little hand into his own with a very quick reaction.

Rose struggled a few times, and then let him hold it.With a thought, in Carl's palm, he began to write letter by letter.

'What were you thinking just now? 'Don't think that if you put on a serious face, sister will not see that you are also distracted.

After Karl frowned and felt what Rose was writing, he also began to write letters on Rose's palm.

'thinking of you. '

Rose pursed her lips and wrote again, 'Liar, I'm right here, what else do you want? '

'I want you to be by my side forever, never leave. 'If you want to coax people, you just open your mouth.Carl was also a long-time 'experienced'.

'You are beautiful, but, are you proposing marriage? '

Carl suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and wrote again, 'In front of God, I have no flowers.If you don't mind, so be it. '

Rose tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, 'Flowers are important?In addition to flowers, there is no diamond ring, right? 'She always thought the diamond ring was more important.

Didn't it mean that diamonds last forever, and a diamond will last forever?Not for anything else, just for the price between diamonds and flowers, diamonds should be more important.

'No, it's just that the diamond ring is already in my pocket.In fact, I've left it on for two days.The reason why I say flowers is that I want you to have what other people have.What others don't have, I will let you have. 'It's a promise a man makes to the woman he loves.

A little moved.Rose closed her eyes and thought for a while, and thought that Carl should know that she was also a very reserved girl.It's only been two days, and the development is too fast.So I organized the language in my mind, opened my eyes, and wrote: 'I'm still young, and I don't want to get married so soon.I still have important things to do. 'At this age, she gets married and has children, and Rose is a little scared when she thinks of her small skeleton.

For Rose's answer, Carl was extremely disappointed.However, he asked the question along the way. 'Then when do you want to get married?And what are the important things you said? '

Seeing Carl's appearance, Rose felt a little guilty for no reason.However, he still expressed his thoughts. 'Wait a few years.I'll grow up a little more.In the past few years, what I have to do is to add Fusang people to the Chinese Exclusion Act of the United States. When you come to propose again, maybe I will marry you at that time.Well, even if you don't have flowers. '

As a lady from a rich family who was unemployed as soon as she graduated.In addition to eating and drinking on weekdays, I just attend a reception and salon or something.But these have long made Rose bored to the point of suffocation. If she hadn't participated in the affairs of Huaxia back then, Rose would have panicked even more.

Rose, who has nothing to do, can only find something to do.Before boarding the ship, she only remembered that there was a Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States when someone accidentally mentioned it in a salon.

Rose still has self-knowledge, she does not have the ability to abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act, but it seems that it is not impossible to add Fusang to it.Anyway, she has plenty of money, and she can make a way out with money.

Carl was not surprised by Rose's last sentence of marriage, but asked earnestly: 'Really? 'Although Rose is sixteen or seventeen years old, she is not too young to be married.Although it would be fine to wait a few years, even a few years older, but in his heart he was unwilling to wait for such a long time.Relatively speaking, it seemed easier to help Rose get the Fuso people into the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Anyway, those Orientals are almost like that.American politics is supported by the economic support of major consortiums.He might actually be able to make a connection.But first of all, it is necessary to make sure that Rose is not joking, but said these words seriously.

Rose bit her lip and wrote shyly, 'really'.Rose was really embarrassed to talk about marriage like this.But she really fell in love with this man.

As a profiteer, Carl still knows how to do business. Seeing Rose like this, he quickly added: 'Rose, I love you so much.If you don't agree to marry me now, it's only because of time.I am willing to wait for you.It doesn't matter how long you wait.But my heart couldn't settle down.You know, you are so beautiful.I am afraid that in a few years, you will meet someone better than me.Although I believe that no one in this world treats you better than me.If possible, I hope we can get engaged first.After a few years, or when your idea comes true, we are getting married.okay? 'Determine the name first, so you won't be afraid of any changes in the future.

Carl's words just hit Rose's heart.This man should really be put under his own name, so as not to be prying in the future.So Rose clicked off, and gently wrote good words on Carl's hand.

After a while, Rose, who was blushing for a long time, still didn't feel Karl's reply, and turned to look at him with some doubts.

Just one glance, and the next moment, Rose was pulled out of the restaurant by Karl.Squeeze away the crowd and walk quickly to the deck of the first-class cabin step by step.

As soon as he reached the deck, Carl asked without waiting for Rose to breathe, "Rose, is what you just said true? I don't feel wrong, do I?"

Carl was very nervous, he was very afraid that everything just happened was thought up by himself.In fact, Rose and Ben never wrote on his hand, everything was just his imagination.During the few days on this boat, every day felt unreal to him.Happiness came too fast, he was afraid that turning over would wake up the dream.

"What is true or false?" Rose didn't answer repeatedly, but the playfulness on her face said everything.

"Is it true that you will marry me as long as Fuso is included in the Chinese Exclusion Act?" Carl directly ignored what Rose said to wait a few years before getting married.

"Although I want to ban this unfair bill. Unfortunately, I am not God." Rose said with a smile.At this time, the topic was being misleading, and Rose hadn't noticed it yet.

"Just why?" Fusang, the Chinese Exclusion Act, what does this have to do with their marriage.The reason why Rose wants to get married in a few years is to do this thing?Or those Chinese people brainwashed Rose, otherwise why would the effect be so horrifying?

"Because this is the goal I want to work hard for in the past few years." Rose has made up her mind, taking advantage of the first few years of marriage, to find something for herself to do, and toss around for a while.After she got married, she would stay at home and give birth to a baby with peace of mind.

In a country without family planning, in a time and space without family planning, let's give birth to a few litters of cubs.

"Okay, I'll help you." Carl thought about his influence in the political and legal circles of the United States, and the people he thought of just now that he could contact.Maybe he can't cancel the Chinese Exclusion Act, but it's definitely not difficult to add Fusang to it.Maybe he could start with a business partner on the Titanic.Since we're all on the same boat, it's easier to meet each other, isn't it?

"hehe".My motherland is being treated unfairly, why can Fusang be exempted.My motherland will not be better, and no one should think about it.So, if you are unlucky, come together.

Some people may know that on this day, there is a girl Xu married.

But no one knew that the reason for a girl's marriage was that an Asian island country was wronged for many years with Huaxia.Until that inhuman act was completely banned.

And all of this is just the result of a girl with a low IQ, but a lot of time and money.
