Chapter 92: Warm for the Upper and Cold for the Lower (9)
The crew on board the Adelaide is actually very mobile, and the likes of Captain William and Butler Witchard are very small, after all, the workload on the ship is very large, and the work cycle is very long, although the holidays are also very long.
The manager who manages the tourist profile on the Adelaide is no exception, the newcomer Abby has only joined the Adelaide for a year, of course, being able to do this position proves that Abby's ability is indeed very good, and it is also true that before coming to the Adelaide, Abby had been a tourist information manager for four or five cruise ships in eight years.
When Kong Fanquan and Xiao Zhu were brought over by Captain William, Abby was sorting out the tourist information on this route, and Abby was a little strange when she saw two unfamiliar faces coming in.
"Abby, this is Mr. Kong, this is Mr. Yao, they want to ask you something. Captain William smiled and patted Abby on the shoulder, "Of course, even if they ask about the most confidential things on the cruise ship, you have to answer truthfully, you know, Mr. Kong is a big man." β
As Captain William spoke, he was secretly observing Abby.
Abby is a very thin foreigner, which country is a foreigner, this crutch can't be seen, he is about forty years old, his skin is very white, it is the kind of color similar to miserable white, I don't know if it is because he has not been exposed to the sun much, there are heavy dark circles under his eyes, it should be caused by poor rest, or simply insomnia.
Although he had been distracted and paying attention to Abby's appearance, he still heard Captain William's words, and there was nothing wrong with them, but he was not very comfortable listening to them, and looked at William and did not speak.
Listening to Captain William's words, Abby set her eyes on Kong Fanquan and the abduction, of course, because Captain William paid more attention to Kong Fanquan in his tone, Abby naturally paid more attention to Kong Fanquan.
The confusion in Abby's eyes finally faded little by little, or rather, he understood Captain William's words, which is not difficult to understand, isn't it? In short, this person standing in front of him must not be offended, and if he is offended, I am afraid that no one will be able to protect him.
Abby nodded in understanding, and Captain William was relieved, and turned to Kong Fanquan and said, "I'll go back first, if there's anything else you want to know, just ask Abby, if there's anything else, come to the captain's room to find me, you know, before I get off the ship, I'll always be there." β
Kong Fanquan sighed "En".
There were only three people left in the room, Kong Fanquan, Xiao Gui and Abby, who were a little quiet at first, but Abby coughed lightly, put down the folder she had been holding, and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"We want to know the information about this ship seven years ago. β
Abby was stunned: "I've only been on the Adelaide for a year, seven years ago...... It's been a long time. β
The information that Witchard gave Kong Fanquan before not only included the tourists on this ship, but also the information of the staff on the ship, and Abby's information, Kong Fanquan naturally kept it in mind, he did not give up because of this, and asked instead: "So what do you know about the Adelaide seven years ago?"
Abby smiled: "Speaking of which, I do have some understanding, after all, I also thought carefully about jumping to the Adelaide a year ago. After a pause, "I can see that I am not young anymore, and my health is not good, and the Adelaide may be the last cruise ship I will be on, maybe two or three years, or five or six years, because of my health, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to do this kind of work, so of course, I have to arrange a back road for myself as much as possible." β
Xiao Guan glanced at Kong Fanquan, saw the strange movement of Kong Fanquan's fingers, and after thinking about it, he knew that Kong Fanquan didn't know what method to use, and was asking Abby to tell everything he knew.
Kong Fanquan raised his eyebrows: "Oh, so what do you know about the Adelaide?"
Abby thought for a moment and smiled, "Speaking of which, the Adelaide is a miracle. After a pause, as if trying to figure out what he was saying, "When the Adelaide first set sail, I was just a small cruise crew, and I had only heard of the name, but it was just three years after the Adelaide set sail, I learned something from a friend that made me interested in the Adelaide. β
"Well, of course, if you count the time now, isn't it seven years ago that you said? Seven years ago, the cruise company to which the Adelaide belonged was facing financial difficulties, the liquidity was too small, and the capital chain was almost broken, if the cruise company to which the Adelaide belonged went bankrupt, then the Adelaide would not necessarily be the Adelaide, but the most admirable thing was that in less than a month, the cruise company to which the Adelaide belonged did not know how to turn a profit, and a large amount of money was used for the company's capital circulation, and when my friend told me about it, he kept saying that it was a miracleγ β
"If this kind of thing is only once, I just heard about it as an anecdote, but three years ago, something similar happened again, and in the same way, the cruise company to which the Adelaide belonged was once again in financial difficulties and on the verge of bankruptcy, and in less than a month, they once again turned the tide, not only did the company have a large amount of liquidity, but even allocated a large amount of additional money to renovate the Adelaide. β
"It was probably after that time that I became more and more interested in the Adelaide, and when I realized that my health was getting worse and worse, and another friend of mine told me that the Adelaide was being treated very well, I finally made up my mind to come to the Adelaide, to make another fortune before I could go to sea, and it turned out that I made the right decision to make money in just one year on the Adelaide that I would not necessarily have earned on other cruises for two years. β
Kong Fanquan and Xiao Qi glanced at each other, obviously, the two thought of together.
Seven years ago, let's just talk about this point in time three years ago, they had heard one of the big men say that three years ago, the cruise company to which the Adelaide belonged had encountered financial difficulties and almost went bankrupt, and according to Abby, shortly after the news of its bankruptcy, they turned the tide and not only did not go bankrupt, but also carried out a major renovation of the Adelaide. From this point of view, there must be a shadow of the cruise company to which the Adelaide belongs.
"Abby, can you find a record of the visitors on the Adelaide seven years ago and three years ago?" Kong Fanquan's gaze fell on the row of cabinets in the corner.
There are information on the ship about tourists over the years, and they are also classified according to time, but even if Kong Fanquan sets the time to seven years ago and three years ago, it is not easy for the Adelaide to run many routes in a year.
Kong Fanquan added: "Maybe you can tell from the thickness of the data, the two materials I found should be the thickest in the year they belong to." β
Abby glanced at Kong Fanquan strangely, not knowing what Kong Fanquan's request represented, but thinking of Captain William's attitude just now, Abby finally chose to remain silent, did not ask anything else, and turned around to find the information that Kong Fanquan wanted.
Abby was used to doing this kind of thing, although he had only been on the Adelaide for a year and was not very familiar with the previous information, but in a short period of time, he found what Kong Fanquan wanted, and of course, the "thickest book" that Kong Fanquan said played a very important role.
Abby looked at the thick materials in her hand on the table, seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but say, "There should be a lot of tourists in those two materials, right?"
Kong Fanquan nodded: "That's right, just like the one you have now, the two copies in my hand happen to be the records of the two trips of the Adelaide full of tourists." β
Abby was even more curious, hesitated, and pointed to the one on the table: "Then, this, Mr. Kong, do you want one?"
Kong Fanquan shook his head and didn't explain, he had already written down the information of all the tourists and staff on this ship in his mind, of course he didn't need it.
Abby shrugged, "Okay, then, is there anything else I need help with?"
"Not anymore. Kong Fanquan got up from the sofa, still holding the two tourist materials in his hands, "Can I take the materials back to the room to see? You know, there are so many contents, I'm afraid I'm going to read them for a while." β
Abby hesitated for a while, it stands to reason that this is not allowed, after all, leaking the information of tourists is equivalent to violating the rights of tourists, even if these materials are a long time ago, but remembering Captain William's words, Abby still compromised: "No problem, you can take it." β
Kong Fanquan nodded, and his eyes fell on the dinner that was placed in the room: "Don't you have dinner yet?"
"Yes, I have insomnia, this time on the boat is extraordinarily strict, I have no appetite, and I have hardly eaten since I got on the boat. β
"The face is indeed a little ugly. Kong Fanquan paused, and took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, "This treatment for insomnia is very effective, if you believe me, take one pill every night before going to bed, to ensure that you can get a good night's sleep that night." β
"Is this a sleeping pill?" Abby said in confusion as she took the bottle of medicine from Kong Fanquan's hand.
Kong Fanquan shook his head: "It's not, but its effect is much better than that of sleeping pills, and there are no side effects." β
Abby accepted it with a smile, if Kong Fanquan is indeed a big person, Abby can't think of any reason for Kong Fanquan to lie to himself, since Kong Fanquan said so, it means that the effect of this medicine is really good, he has been troubled a lot by the problem of insomnia, even if the effect is not good, it is not a big deal, why not try it?
Kong Fanquan's face was a little ugly after he came out of Abby's cabin, and he walked behind him, although there were not many people in the corridor, but he still couldn't help but didn't ask his doubts, and when he returned to the suite, he felt faintly relaxed.
