"Mr. Captain, why are you so worried?" Ruth wondered.
Astor laughed and said: "With Walker's skill, of course I'm afraid that he will do evil on the boat!"
"Haha..." Everyone laughed.
Russell said with a smile: "If I do something wrong, everyone here will not even think about running away."
"Ha ha…"
They took Russell's words completely as humor.
Andrews said: "Mr. Walker, if you can make the Titanic headlines, then I will pay you for advertising planning."
Ismay waved her hand and said, "Andrews, you are just her designer, and I am the boss. I should pay for the advertising planning fee, Mr. Bao Walker is satisfied."
Russell would not refuse their kindness, "Mr. Ismay, can we discuss the price after my plan is implemented?"
"Okay, no problem." Ismay nodded.
All of you present are celebrities and nobles, and he promised in front of everyone that he would definitely not renege on his debt.
Ismay raised her glass and said, "If I could witness her running at the world's fastest speed in the Atlantic Ocean, I would die without regret."
Andrews said, "Yes."
Captain Smith wisely didn't answer the question. He was unwilling to speed up in the first place. This didn't do him any good, but instead brought many disadvantages.
"Mr. Ismay, I only saw 20 lifeboats on board, and according to my estimation, they can only accommodate more than 1000 people. Didn't you and Mr. Andrews consider safety issues?"
Russell asked this question very cleverly. First, he asked as a security consultant, and second, he gave detailed data.
Hearing this, the celebrities and nobles turned their heads to look at Ismay and Andrews, as if they wanted to hear what they had to say.
Andrews said: "When she was originally built, I gave a design with 64 lifeboats..."
"Yes, Andrews had suggested 64 lifeboats on board, but it was so overcrowded that my passengers had nowhere to walk and the lifeboats took up too much space."
Ismay continued: "I want to give the passengers the best conditions and let them enjoy the comfort during the journey, so I have built the facilities on the ship to be extremely luxurious..."
"Yes, all the facilities and carvings in the ship come from the whimsy of Mr. Ismay," Andrews said.
Celebrities and nobles nodded slowly. They spent a lot of money on boats to have a comfortable journey, so that they would not go out to play and go home with their tired bodies.
Before Russell could speak, Ruth, who was directly opposite him, said, "Mr. Ismay, haven't you considered the third-class passengers? If a disaster occurs, how will they escape?"
Ismay smiled and said, "Of course I have considerations. I don't discriminate against the poor. The reason why I have 20 lifeboats and cranes is to cope with the 1894 Merchant Shipping Act."
"Please don't be surprised, because the Titanic is the safest ship in the world. Mr. Andrews designed 16 sealed compartments at the bottom of the ship. If any of the sealed compartments suffer from impact and leak, the sealed compartments will automatically close."
"Even if all the airtight compartments are leaking, the Titanic will not sink. She will only have a deeper draft and a slower speed."
Ismay said confidently: "In other words, no matter what problems it encounters, the Titanic will never sink!"
Andrews said with a smile: "Yes, she will never sink, this is the original intention of my design."
"Wish I could sail this unsinkable ship to my death!" said Captain Smith.
"It will, Captain. Oh, it's not a curse..."
"I see what you mean, Andrews."
Astor raised his glass and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, there's nothing to worry about. Let's toast and drink on this unsinkable ship!"
"Chels~"
Russell didn't express any opinions, and he was already familiar with their conversation. If time went back, perhaps Ismay and Andrews would still be so confident.
After all, who would put a curse on a newborn baby?
After lunch, Astor's little wife Madeleine and Ada Strauss left arm in arm and went back to the room to rest.
Fisher kept winking at his daughter Ruth, telling her to follow him and leave.
However, Ruth sat firmly on the chair as if she hadn't seen it, and stared directly at Russell with bright eyes, with a look of curiosity and admiration that could not be concealed.
Fisher became furious, and immediately got up and left without saying hello.
"Oh, who got mad at Mrs. Fisher?" asked Isidore.
"No one messed with her."
Astor's complexion was not good, and he said: "Her behavior is really embarrassing to the nobles."
Russell got up and dug out a cigarette, asking, "Anyone want a cheap cigarette?"
A smile appeared on Astor's face, "Hurry up and give me one, I can't wait."
"Haha, so you were waiting for this too." Isidore laughed.
Ismay said, "Cheap cigarettes? I don't seem to have tasted them. Mr. Walker, can I have one?"
He was totally trying to get close to Russell, because he boasted in front of celebrities and aristocrats that he could make the Titanic hit the headlines!
Since Captain Smith was too stubborn, Ismay pinned her hopes on Russell.
"of course."
The cigarettes in Russell's hands are sold everywhere on the ship, and celebrities and nobles like them must be able to afford them.
However, Astor and Isidore do not like the taste of cheap cigarettes, but like the joy and atmosphere of tasting with everyone.
Russell distributed the cigarettes to all the men present, hesitantly looking at the only lady left behind.
He thought for a while and asked, "Do you smoke?"
Ruth raised her head to see him handing her a cigarette, but when she was about to raise her hand, there was a sudden pause, her expression was a little flustered, and she froze for about two seconds before she hurriedly waved her hand and shook her head.
"No, I will not……"
Russell nodded with a faint smile, and put the cigarette to his mouth.
Astor, Ismay and the others looked at each other and laughed. They saw Ruth fiddling with cigarettes in the smoking room more than once.
But no one said it clearly, after all, who would guess the girl's mind.
Ruth obviously knew what they were laughing at, so she blushed and nodded her thanks.
Russell ignored her, didn't even look at her face.It's not because of embarrassment, seeing the girl blush, but a kind of communication skill.
He knew Ruth's inner thoughts very well and knew what she wanted, so the less Russell talked to her, the more her curiosity would be aroused.
A girl's curiosity is sometimes a road leading to happiness, and sometimes a road leading to hell.
After contacting Russell, the celebrities and nobles don't think that he is a low-level poor person, but more like a knowledgeable and down-and-out nobleman. Otherwise, how could he know so many things?
After Astor and the others enjoyed the atmosphere of smoking, they bid farewell to Russell.
Before Ismay left, he reminded: "Mr. Walker, since the Titanic can't conquer the world with speed, please come up with an idea that can be on the front page of the newspaper. If it is done, I will give you a generous reward." gratitude."
Russell nodded, "Mr. Ismay, please rest assured. I have a plan that will make the Titanic a global sensation!"
"Don't worry, we'll see you tonight?"
"See you tonight."
After Ismay left.
At the dining table, only Captain Smith and Ruth were left smoking their pipes.
The captain stood up and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Walker, Mrs. Brown has upgraded you to first class E-... I will send the room to be cleaned and tidied up later."
"Okay, thanks Captain Smith."
Russell shook his hand.
"You're welcome, it's really a pleasure to meet you. It not only reminds me to make up for my mistakes, but also allows me to see an outstanding young man."
"I wonder if I can ask something? You don't have to answer."
"Mr. Smith, but it doesn't matter."
"I want to know your real thoughts on not recommending speeding up."
Chapter 81 Guide Ruth, You Need More Money
At the dining table, Ruth turned her head and blinked brightly, listening carefully to the conversation between Russell and the captain.
Russell looked at Smith and said, "Mr. Smith should know how long this ship is."
"Yes, 269 meters."
"If you are driving a 124-meter cruise ship, what should you do if you encounter a dangerous situation 300 meters ahead?"
"Turn right to full rudder, reverse."
Smith answered fluently.
"What if it's the Titanic?"
Smith froze, he seemed to understand a little bit.
"Mr. Walker, what do you mean to say that if the Titanic also encountered a dangerous situation at 300 meters, and at a speed of 23 knots, it was too late to change direction, let alone stop the car, she would..."
"That's right, that's what it means."
Smith was grateful, "Mr. Walker, I am very grateful that you told me the truth."
"You're welcome, I'm just doing it for safety."
"You are indeed a good security consultant. If you start a company in the United States, the business will definitely be very good."
"Lend your auspicious words."
Captain Smith chatted with Russell with something in his head, and left in a hurry.
After he left, Russell glanced at Ruth from the corner of her eye. She was staring blankly at his profile with her chin poised.
Immediately, Russell ignored her and left the restaurant directly.
When he walked to the door of the restaurant, he heard hurried footsteps from behind.
"Mr. Walker, why didn't you call me?"
Russell stopped when he heard the sound, and Ruth behind her couldn't brake in time and hit him on the back.
"Oh! Mr. Walker, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to."
He turned and looked down, and asked, "What are you following me for?"
Ruth was startled, originally thinking that with Mr. Walker's gentlemanly demeanor, he would ask her if it hurts or if she was hurt.But I didn't expect him to be so indifferent, as if he didn't take himself seriously.
"I……"
Russell frowned and stared at her, waved his hands impatiently: "Don't tell me this, I don't care about it. Are you Ruth?"
She felt chills when she heard the first half of the sentence, which seemed different from what she had imagined.
Ruth once imagined that Russell was attracted by her beauty, and then poured out money to teach her experience, so that she would benefit from it for life.
But I didn't expect Mr. Walker to be so indifferent and disdainful to her.
However, after hearing the following words, she felt a little joy in her cold heart.
Mr. Walker remembered her name?This is good momentum.
At this time, Ruth was only a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. She had never been attracted to a man, let alone experienced in love.
Although she has a marriage contract with Karl, it is a family marriage, she has no feelings for Karl, and even hates his rude, bad taste!
"Yes, Mr. Walker, I'm Ruth, and you have a really good memory."
Russell said indifferently: "Then do you know Mr. Carl's room? I have something to do with him."
"Of course I know. He and I... No, I know where he lives. What do you want from him?"
"Talk about business."
"Oh! Okay. His personal bodyguard is injured, invite you to be his security advisor?"
Russell stared down at her, "Don't ask if you shouldn't."
Ruth already understood his character, so she said straightforwardly, "Okay, I'll take you to find him."
She was very much looking forward to Carl being taught a lesson by Mr. Walker again. Whenever she thought of Carl covering his head and going back to the room last night, she would gloat and be so excited that she couldn't extricate herself.
Due to long-term psychological depression, no one understands and helps her, which makes her feel distorted and extreme when she looks at things.
