At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xing, Captain Vasily and Captain Pan came to the fishing chief's room together. Looking at his expression, he should have done self-regulation and eased up a lot.

After pouring a cup of tea for everyone, the fisherman himself opened a jar of eight-treasure porridge, and said to everyone while eating: "My stomach, if I eat from time to time, it hurts badly, do you want to have a jar too?"

Chen Xing translated for Vasily at the same time.

Seeing that everyone shook their heads, he continued: "I just used a satellite phone to contact the Taiwan head office and reported the situation to the chairman. The company has given feedback and called you over to inform you of the company's decision and listen to your opinions. ”

After a pause, he looked at Chen Xing and said, "But before that, I want to focus on Ah Xing, your act of saving people today is very brave and worthy of everyone's respect, but I don't encourage another time." Everyone has seen the weather conditions today, we are very reluctant to work off the net, and there is such an emergency, no one wants to see it. You ask Captain Vasily and Pan, in their experience, if they encounter similar weather conditions, will they allow their crew to jump into the sea to save people? You are lucky, otherwise, under the premise that there is no life guarantee, in order to save people, we will not be brave, but stupid, do you understand?"

The fishing chief stared at Chen Xing's eyes sternly, and said: "You are a very good young man, we all like you very much, we don't want you to pay an irreparable price because of impulsiveness, even if you are kind, you must abide by the rules and procedures of our industry, can you guarantee not to make similar mistakes?"

After listening to Chen Xing's translation, Vasily and Captain Pan supported the words of the fishing chief, and said to Chen Xing: "This is indeed a very serious issue, I hope you can listen to the fishing captain's words and give us a guarantee." ”

Seeing the three old sailors criticizing themselves so seriously, Chen Xing also realized his mistake, after all, no one knew what made him different from ordinary people, in the eyes of everyone, he was just a young man with a strong body, good eyes, and a little luck.

His behavior of diving into the water to save people in today's extreme weather conditions is so stupid in the eyes of the old sailor, and if even he dies in the sea, it will have a very bad impact on the three fishing boat managers here. When they can say this to themselves, they are not only responsible for their work, but also care about themselves.

Chen Xing sat up straight, faced the three elders, and solemnly said in Chinese and Russian: "Okay, I will definitely remember today's lesson, and in the future, when I encounter a similar situation, I will definitely ask the captain for instructions, in accordance with the rules of the sea, according to the actual situation, cooperate with everyone, save people in a unified manner, and put safety first at any time." ”

The three of them nodded reassuringly, and the fisherman continued: "Given that this place is closest to Sri Lanka, the company's decision is as follows:

1. Our fishing boat rushed to Colombo, Sri Lanka, where Wawa's body was cremated or transferred back to Russia, and at the same time Lin Yongquan was examined and treated, and the next step was determined according to the results of his physical examination.

2. Wowa and Lin Yongquan have signed contracts with us through intermediary companies in their countries, and they also have corresponding personal accident insurance, so let the insurance company follow up the follow-up procedures, and we will provide relevant supporting documents to fully cooperate with the insurance company to settle claims, and we cannot discourage the enthusiasm of other sailors.

3. The catch on our ship is probably more than 1,000 tons, so it will be reloaded at the same time in Colombo.

4. It's time for our fishing boats to be overhauled, the company sent a professional inspection team from Taiwan, led by Manager Wu, to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the fishing boats in Colombo to determine the time of overhaul and related matters.

5. Recently, we have been getting a good harvest, after entering the port of Colombo, we will give a bonus of 200 US dollars to all sailors on board, and 500 US dollars to all managers, including Chen Xing. Take advantage of the time to transprint and inspect fishing boats, give everyone a week off, have a good time in Sri Lanka, and relax. ”

After seeing everyone's understanding of the company's five decisions, the fishing manager asked, "Do you have any problems with these arrangements and decisions?"

Vasily and Captain Pan turned the teacups in their hands, pondered for a moment, and said to the fisherman: "Okay, we will convey the company's decision in a moment, the sailors are in a very low mood, and when they go out to sea, they are most afraid of encountering life and death problems, and they really need to be protected." The company's decision is timely, and we all support it, which will definitely calm everyone's emotions. ”

"Okay, then you go down and inform, Lao Pan told the little ghost, you must take care of Lin Yongquan in the next few days, don't have any problems before entering the port, hey, I'm scared." ”

For the next three days, the fishing boats sailed towards Sri Lanka, and everyone gathered in the restaurant to watch a video or chat in a close friend's room. Ivan, Little Ghost, and Captain Vasily would also take the time to come over and talk to Chen Xing and Captain Pan about their future plans, so it was inconvenient for Chen Xing to study the treasures obtained from the shipwreck in the sea, so he had to properly store these things and wait until Victoria Harbor to study them with Mingyue. But how to explain the origin of these things to Mingyue? Chen Xing thought worriedly from time to time.

On November 28, at 4 p.m., the Aristotle sailed into the port of Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka.

Colombo is the largest city in Sri Lanka and is the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the country. An important port in the Indian Ocean, a world-famous artificial seaport. It is located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka Island, bordering the Indian Ocean and bounded by the Kellerny River to the north. It is the gateway to Sri Lanka and is known as the "Crossroads of the East". It is located on the seaside and has a pleasant climate with high temperatures and no scorching heat.

The streets of the city are lined with ironwood trees, known as the national tree, and water lilies, which are the national flowers, but there are more coconut trees that soar into the sky. Colombo is a typical coastal city in Southeast Asia, with beautiful coastal scenery, noisy night markets and casinos, cheerful and wild percussion, devout religious believers, towering skyscrapers, and golden temples and halls...... Colombo's unique urban charm is complemented by a romantic and casual atmosphere.

The Aristotle came to Colombo in July for a transshipment, but it was only three days, and all the sailors had joined the labor, and the fisherman did not allow everyone to leave the port, so it was still a strange city to everyone.

Manager Wu of the company's headquarters in Taiwan is already waiting for the fisherman at the port, and the fishing boat inspection team led by him lives at the Kingsbury Hotel near the port, so that they can board the ship at any time for inspection.

The Kingsbury Hotel, opened in 1973, is one of the most famous hotels near the port or Colombo, with a prime location facing the sea on one side and the World Trade Centre on the other. It is said that people who come to the company's headquarters will designate to stay at this hotel.

Since the fishing vessel was to be fully inspected and the crew on board also had a week's vacation, the fishing captain arranged rooms for all the shipboard management personnel at the Kingsbury Hotel, including: fishing chief, Russian captain, chief officer, second officer, chief engineer, second car, deck chief, Taiwanese captain, first officer, second officer, deckmaster and Chen Xing. It stands to reason that six standard rooms are fine, but the fishing chief is used to living alone, so it is cheaper for Chen Xing, and he also mixes a single room.

After opening the house, the fishing chief called Manager Wu, Vasily, Captain Pan, Colombo's agents Luo Jingye and Chen Xing to his room. First of all, he communicated with everyone about how to deal with the remains of Wowa, and arranged for Luo Jingye to immediately send Lin Yongquan to Colombo National Hospital for a physical examination and the process of related insurance claim procedures, and then communicated with Luo Jingye about the details of the reprint at the local refrigeration factory tomorrow, and finally handed over the bonuses of all the personnel to Vasily and Captain Pan, and entrusted them to distribute them on their behalf, planning that after three days, the sailors could start a week's vacation after all the fish were reloaded.

This adds up to about 10 days, Luo Jingye's work is very cumbersome, first leading Lin Yongquan to check his body, but also to ensure the smooth progress of the transfer, and finally to take care of the entertainment activities of all the personnel on the ship in Colombo to ensure everyone's safety. Looking at the sad face of the Taiwanese Luo Jingye, Chen Xing is worried about him, which industry is not easy to do.

Dinner was served at the hotel's Chinese restaurant, and Chen Xing didn't feel how delicious it was. The hotel was very close to the pier, so everyone walked back to the boat to pick up their personal toiletries and a change of clothes. Chen Xing didn't leave the Aristotle alone until he finished exercising, walking on the road by the sea, he missed Mingyue so much that he couldn't wait to fly to her side immediately. At this time, how much he wants to have the ability to fly, will he get it?

That night, Chen Xing slept on the comfortable and soft Simmons bed at the Kingsbury Hotel, and for 11 months, he had almost forgotten what it was like to sleep on solid land. Outside the window, the waves not far away were crashing on the embankment, and Chen Xing fell asleep.
