Chapter 89: Warm is Upper and Cold is Lower (6)
William Charlie was the captain of the Adelaide, and the captain of the Adelaide's maiden voyage ten years ago was William, who, like Wichard, had been on the Adelaide for ten years, and knew the Adelaide as well as his own body.
William is Australian, he has a strong physique, a healthy wheat complexion, William is nearly fifty years old and has a big beard, which is very commensurate with his lush body hair, as soon as they meet, they want to give Kong Fanquan a warm hug, but unfortunately Kong Fanquan is very firm refusal.
William smiled, didn't care, and sat opposite Kong Fanquan: "Oh, dear Mr. Kong, if it weren't for my boss telling me before the boat that you were also on the boat, I wouldn't have known about your arrival, even so, because I was extremely busy yesterday, I didn't have time to visit Mr. Kong, no, I explained it early this morning, and I hurried over." Glancing at Wichard, "Witchard has always followed Mr. Kong, so he must meet Mr. Kong's requirements as before, right?"
Kong Fanquan bowed slightly: "That's natural, on this ship, I'm used to Wichard." Kong Fanquan's gaze fell on the unfinished breakfast on the table, "Captain William came to see me so early, I guess I haven't had breakfast yet, right? Let Wichard go get some more breakfast, how about we talk while eating?"
William shook his head and smiled: "That's not necessary, I got up early today, I'm so hungry, I've already had breakfast, but it seems that I disturbed Mr. Kong's meal." ”
Kong Fanquan also smiled and did not answer.
William had a faint curiosity on his face: "I was very surprised to hear the news of Mr. Kong's boat, the last time Mr. Kong, you took the Adelaide four years ago, this time you are going to Australia and have something to do?"
Kong Fanquan simply pointed to the abrupt crutch who had not spoken all along: "I just came to travel with a child, just in time for the Adelaide." ”
"I saw this person when I came in just now, and I was still wondering who it was. William nodded at the crutch, "This is the first time Mr. Kong has you been on the boat with someone else, I think this little brother is a very important person to Mr. Kong, right?"
Kong Fanquan didn't argue, and nodded unexpectedly, as if he didn't want to say much about the abduction, and turned the topic to the Adelaide: "I haven't been on the Adelaide for four years, and now I look at it, it's more luxurious than four years ago, I guess it was renovated during this period." ”
When it comes to the Adelaide, William knows more than Kong Fanquan, and as the captain, he knows more about the Adelaide than Wichard, the butler: "About two and a half years ago, the Adelaide did go through a major renovation, which lasted more than half a year, and I was idle during that period, and I felt so sorry to think that I would retire and no longer sail after that." ”
Kong Fanquan smiled: "Now you are still young, and you are still very early to retire, why bother to think about these things to block yourself?"
William smiled heartily: "No, Mr. Kong is still reasonable." After that, he got up, "I'm just here to see you, if there is anything, you must tell me, I William has no other ability, at least on this ship, it's still my William, Mr. Kong, don't be polite to me." ”
Kong Fanquan bowed: "Of course, now I thank Mr. William for his kindness." ”
Kong Fanquan watched William leave, and then continued to reach for breakfast on the table: "Wichard, did you sleep well last night?"
Wichard, who was still standing by the door after carefully closing the door, turned around: "Yes, Mr. Kong, the quality of sleep last night was very good, if I hadn't set the alarm clock before going to bed, I'm afraid I would have overslept." ”
"That's good. Kong Fanquan said casually, "After all, you are old, and sailing on a ship for a long time is not a good thing for your body, and when you finish this trip, I will tell your boss that you can retire and recuperate early." ”
Witchard smiled: "Mr. Kong, don't look at me older than Captain William, but in terms of energy, I'm afraid Captain William is even inferior to me, I like the work on the ship very much, I hope to stay on the ship until I can't walk." ”
Although the words were polite, whether it was Kong Fanquan or Xiao Qiu, they all heard the meaning of Wichard's words, this was that he didn't want to leave the Adelaide and wanted to continue working, Kong Fanquan was just a whim, and when he saw Witchard like this, he no longer insisted.
After breakfast, Kong Fanquan and the abduction went out for a walk, and Wilchard stayed in the suite.
There are indeed not many people on the cruise ship as Witchard said before, most of the people either went to the deck, or stayed in the cabin and did not come out, Kong Fanquan knew that there were not many people in the restaurant, so he took the abduction to the deck.
There are a lot of people on the deck, but most of them are pale, leaning on beach chairs, and most of them are the staff on the ship, busy serving tourists, but fortunately, the ship itself has a lot of seasickness medicine, but most of them are not caused by seasickness, and they know that seasickness medicine is impossible to use, and as long as they continue to eat, this state will continue.
"What is the purpose of the drug, is it just to make the tourists feel uncomfortable, but what good is it for them?" muttered after Kong Fanquan.
Kong Fanquan walked into the deck with Xiao Chuan, looked for a beach chair with a vacant place, and motioned for Xiao Qi to lie on it and not speak, Xiao Qi rolled his eyes and lay down obediently, he really hates Kong Fanquan now, he knows something but always hides it, and he doesn't know what is going on until the matter is over.
I didn't look at the abductions around me all the time, and I didn't notice that on the beach chairs not far from them, there were the middle-aged men who had a conflict with Wang Jiashi and Tan Zhiwei before.
Xu is because his body is better than the vast majority of people here, even if his face is a little ugly, those middle-aged men are much better than others, and it can be seen from the fact that others are pale and closed their eyes and are motionless, but they are still chatting with their eyes open.
Several people spoke in a low voice, and Kong Fanquan was still some distance away from them, normally he couldn't hear what they were saying, but he didn't know if it was because of Kong Fanquan's blood last night, and when he calmed down, he found that he could hear what those people said clearly.
“…… I wasn't seasick before, but why did I get seasick here?"
"Don't say it's you, which of our brothers is seasick? It's not that I haven't been on a boat before, I really don't know how to do it. ”
"Actually, it's quite strange to say, I don't think there are many tourists on this ship who don't get seasick, even if a few of us get seasick, it doesn't make sense that thousands of people are seasick. ”
"Do you think there's something wrong with the ship?"
"Come on, what's wrong with the ship? I've checked before, the tonnage of the Adelaide is among the top few of all cruise ships in the world, and it is absolutely impossible for us to be seasick because of the problem of the cruise ship." ”
"It's not a boat, so what do you say is the reason? Is it true that thousands of people who are seasick are inexplicably gathered together to get seasick?"
Hearing the abduction here, I laughed out loud, but fortunately, those people just chatted and didn't notice the abduction here.
“…… But then again, this is the first time I've come up to the Adelaide, and I've heard that the Adelaide is one of the few top-notch luxury cruise ships, and it's really not ordinary, if it weren't for my physical discomfort, I'd have to gamble on two more if I wasn't feeling well. ”
"You also need to say, do you think the big guy doesn't want to gamble a few times? Tsk, if I had known, I would have played two more games last night, oh don't mention it, the more I worry, the more itchy, it's really fatal." ”
"By the way, I've heard people say that the Adelaide was renovated once a few years ago, and it became the world's top luxury cruise ship after the renovation, so it's no wonder I see that the facilities on the ship are very new. ”
"What is this, you have known this for a long time, okay? I know the latest version of this. ”
"Tell me, I know no. ”
"The Adelaide was refurbished two or three years ago, but it was also three years ago, some time before the Adelaide refurbished, and there was news that the cruise company to which the Adelaide belonged owed a large amount of money to the bank and was almost bankrupt. ”
"Bankrupt, can't it, but what about after that?"
"After that, who knows what happened after that, it wasn't long before the Adelaide was refurbished after a voyage, and the matter was over. ”
"If it is true, the cruise company to which the Adelaide belongs was almost bankrupt at that time, and owed a large amount of money to the bank, so how could it be possible to renovate the Adelaide soon after?
"How do I know, I also said I heard about it from someone else. ”
"Don't tell anyone else, this news is fake as soon as you hear it, and if others know that you even believe it, people will laugh out of their big teeth. ”
"Cut, don't believe pull down. ”
When Kong Fanquan heard this, his face changed slightly, and he got up and pulled him up: "Let's go." ”
When he heard Xing, he was pulled up by Kong Fanquan and didn't react, Kong Fanquan didn't bother to wait for Xiao Guan to come back to his senses, so he left the deck with his wrist and walked in the direction of the room.
"What's the matter, why did you leave all of a sudden?" Xiao Zhu was pulled at first, and took a few steps to catch up with Kong Fanquan's pace, and paused, "Did you say what that person said just now is true?"
"What are you talking about?" Kong Fanquan asked casually.
"That is, the cruise company to which the Adelaide belongs will go bankrupt three years ago. ”
Kong Fanquan was silent for a long time: "How do I know." ”
Abduction: ...... I thought the Confucius Bureau knew everything.
Kong Fanquan: "...... But that's exactly what I'm trying to confirm. ”
Blinked, stopped talking, and followed Kong Fanquan back to the room.
