Qiao Heng looked at Jack and said, "Presumably this is Mr. Dawson, thank you very much for your help to Rose." ”

Jack understood that he was referring to the fact that he had saved Rose that night, and he coughed lightly and pulled out of his pocket, "Hello." ”

Qiao Heng shook hands with him.

Rose calmed down at this time, after all, she and Jack didn't do anything, and she didn't need to panic at all.

She took the opportunity to interject: "I'm here to accompany Jie...... Just Mr. Dawson, Carl, you go about your own business first, you don't have to be here with me. ”

"Alright then, take care of yourself. Qiao Heng bowed his head to Jack and said, "Mr. Dawson, I wish you a good journey. Then he left the deck without a grudge.

After he left, Rose breathed a sigh of relief, and she realized that she was not as calm as she had imagined, and she was afraid of him, although she did not know where it came from.

......

At noon, Mrs. Bookett said strangely: "Carl, have you seen Rose today, she doesn't know where she is, I can't find her." ”

"I saw her on deck this morning with Mr. Dawson, and I think they should still be together. Qiao Heng said truthfully.

Mrs. Bookett's eyes were a little puzzled: "Mr. Dawson?"

Then she gave a look of realization, "How can Rose be with him!"

"Madame, don't worry, I have sent bodyguards to follow her. ”

Hearing him say this, Mrs. Bookett was relieved, and she praised: "You have always thought so well. ”

Qiao Heng sat beside a lady with a rather round figure, and she said to everyone, "Have you heard? Captain Smith didn't know what he had eaten, he vomited and diarrhea, and the doctor and the priest had already gone to see him. ”

One man asked, "Will he be able to stay at the helm?"

The lady with a somewhat obese figure was Mrs. Brown, and she replied, "I guess I can't, it's quite strict." ”

Mrs. Bookett looked sympathetic, and then said with some regret, "What a pity, I have heard that he has been looking forward to this voyage for a long time. ”

yes, that's a shame. Qiao Heng thought as he gently cut a piece of steak with a knife.

Replacing Smith at the helm is a young man named Tom Bruce, in fact, it is Qiao Heng's blessing that he can board the Titanic.

The old captain on the Titanic is an old helmsman with twenty or thirty years of sailing operations. However, a wealth of experience can often lead to a bit of conceit, and this is no different for the profession of captain.

It can be said that the old captain's accumulated experience in sea navigation over the years is not only a blessing for the upcoming Titanic, but has become an obstacle.

In the movie, it was out of his previous experience and arrogance that he ignored the glacial warning signals coming from ahead and guided the Titanic to hit the iceberg.

Then someone else is at the helm.

Tom Bruce is the old captain's lieutenant, and when the captain is unable to take the helm for some reason, he can take the helm for him.

He has the usual problems of a fledgling novice at the helm, lacking experience and only following rules and regulations, but this rather conservative and inflexible behavior can sometimes be a good thing. Or should it be said that Qiao Heng wants this kind of conservative rigidity.

As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office. This point is common in both ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

Bruce is young, and young people always have a mentality of being eager to show what they are capable of, and he is certainly no exception. However, he did not rush to show himself, he first learned about the situation of each crew member and determined whether the part of each crew member was responsible for was operating normally.

As everyone knows, as long as the superior leaders want to investigate, even if there is no problem, they can find out some problems, not to mention that there are problems in the first place.

Bruce looked surprised: "What! No binoculars?"

The lookout nodded.

In this era when there is no radar, the responsibility of the lookout is heavy, but no matter how good a person's eyesight is, how far can they see, so the telescope has become the standard for the lookout.

In the 21st century, if a ship suddenly loses radar during the voyage, it is estimated that the captain's cold sweat can be down in an instant.

Bruce's table is not much better

Although he was the old captain's deputy on the Titanic, the old captain didn't let him touch too many things, to put it simply, he had been refrigerating him.

Who would have thought that he would encounter this as soon as he took the helm.

He took a deep breath, "Go to the first class cabin and ask, maybe any gentleman or lady has a telescope and see if they can borrow it and use it first." ”

The lookout cried out in his palm, and he didn't tell Bruce about it if he knew it. Those people in the first class are arrogant one by one, and they are probably going to be scolded again.

When this matter reached the first class, it suddenly became a topic of conversation for all the first class members.

One woman put her hand on her chest and said with a fainting expression, "God, this is so unsafe." ”

Someone said dissatisfiedly: "Shouldn't we have all the facilities in place before we sail? We have paid the fare, and now we need to provide us with telescopes, and next time we will have to prepare our own food? What about Mr. Ismay? This is his ship, and we should tell him about this and let him deal with it." ”

"Yes, Ismay should be left to settle this matter. ”

"Where has Mr. Ismay gone? I haven't seen him today. ”

"I didn't see him either!"

"Me too, I thought he was 'dating' with his little lover. Why? You haven't come out of the room until now?"

"I went to his room before to look for him, and he wasn't there. ”

It was only then that the crowd realized that Ismay was missing.

The crew members standing on the side turned pale. If something happens to the shipowner, how can they please these little people.

Qiao Heng held a book in his hand, with a page between his two fingers, he slowly lifted one page, and only closed the book in his hand after he had read another page of words. He walked directly to the crew member and said, "I'm looking forward to the telescope, come with me to get it." ”

The crew breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed him out of the banquet hall.

It didn't take long for the first-class affair to reach the ears of the second- and third-class passengers.

Rose sat down with Jack, and she said, "Mr. Ismay is an arrogant and vain fellow. ”

"So you think it's possible that he was being manipulated by someone who didn't like him?" asked Jack with interest.

"Quite possibly. ”

Rose looked at Jack's picture book and said, "You're so good at drawing." ”

"So-so. Hearing Rose compliment him like this, he was a little happy and a little embarrassed.

In order to hide the love on his face, he hurriedly lowered his head and turned the page with his hand.

Rose was about to turn another page of her drawing board when their hands touched.

Jack looked up, and his gaze crashed into a pair of eyes like a lake, so clear, so beautiful.

......

Bruce felt that since he had taken the helm, all sorts of messy problems had arisen.

Upon learning of the disappearance of the shipowner, Mr. Ismay, he hurriedly organized a search and eventually found him in a small utility room.

Mr. Ismay was mentally depressed, and he said he had been knocked unconscious.

The experienced crew went in and knew that Ismay had been manipulated. There was a little bread left over from Isme's eating and a bucket full of clean water in the room, and it was clear that the man who had imprisoned him here had no intention of killing him. Who knows who he offended.

Ismay shouted that the murderer must be found!

He had already figured it out, the vague figure waving to him, and the person who knocked him unconscious from behind, were definitely accomplices!

However, before he could roar, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

The crew hurriedly went to call a doctor.

The doctor came over and checked it out and said, "It's okay, he's just a little weak, and he should be fine if he rests in the room for a few more days." Don't let Mr. Ismay go out on deck these days, for if the sea breeze blows, he may fall seriously ill. ”

He said this purely for the sake of safety, he had long seen how fragile the bodies of these so-called upper-class people were, and it was better to be conservative.

So, poor Mr. Ismay, it is estimated that until the Titanic arrives at the port, he can only stay in the room.

......

The maid was dressing up Rose in the room, and Rose looked at herself in the mirror, still immersed in the daytime scene with Jack.

Mrs. Bookett walked in with a stern face, she waved her hand to let the maid leave, she lowered her voice, and said incredulously: "Rose, didn't I keep you away from that third-class man?

Rose looked up at her, then looked in the mirror without saying a word.

She said bitterly, "I don't know either. ”

Qiao Heng does not have too high requirements for the person he marries, and he never says anything like "I will love you forever", he hopes to cultivate the relationship between the two into family affection rather than love. Whoever is willing to marry him, he will give her spiritual respect, material comfort, he feels that he has the capital to make such a commitment, and he is not in the habit of treating others harshly.

Therefore, he felt that his conditions were not bad, at least not so bad that people would be annoyed at first sight.

But Miss Bookett, who had not liked him since the first time she saw him, had never changed from beginning to end, and was extremely firm.

Qiao Heng is a very serious person.

This trait manifested itself when he was still very young, and when he grew up, he had no intention of changing this habit until today.

Rose argues with him about whether there is eternal love in this world, and he fails to convince the other party, but he is not persuaded by the other party either.

In this case, then prove it to him, and prove that there is indeed an eternal love in this world.

He likes to speak with facts.

He can be more patient than anyone else if he wants to.
