When I heard this, I was shocked in my heart, but I immediately regained my composure and replied in a very calm tone:

"Officer, don't scare me, I'm not lying."

He stared into my eyes, and after a moment, seemed to be sure that I wasn't lying, and then smiled.

"I kind of suspect you're lying, but I'm not sure yet. Right now...... Tell us about your family, your address, your social relationships, and your job. His face suddenly changed, and he said very seriously.

I smiled helplessly and reported to him the situations that Lawyer Tang had prepared for me before.

The young officer took a sip of chrysanthemum wolfberry tea, his face expressionless.

"Officer, you really know how to maintain health, so late at night, drinking these teas will definitely protect your liver and clear your heart and eyes!" I changed the subject.

"Yes, there is no way, this is the only way to do the night shift...... Well, your ship has been unloaded and will set sail in half an hour, I wish you a smooth journey and have fun! He finally smiled.

"Thank you, officer!" I nodded, looking appreciative.

I stood up and realized that he was indeed very young, probably not yet thirty years old.

"You are our border station, the first person to go out of customs here and travel on a freighter for so many years, this seal is the first time to use it! So we have to be cautious. He pulled open the drawer and pulled out a brand new stamp and stamped it on my papers.

Oh, my God! All the best!

My journey is about to begin!

At this moment, I was extremely excited, for that mission, we had made all the preparations, and now, we can finally set sail!

The middle-aged man at the door took me outside and returned my passport and materials.

I followed him to the "EMKK" freighter in front of me.

Less than 5 meters from the container yard to the gangway, this middle-aged man with glasses kept reminding me of the bridge crane on my head.

"Not long ago, there was a person who controlled the bridge crane in the computer room, and he started to operate without waiting for the machine to grasp the box, and dozens of tons of containers fell down, directly killing the people who were pulling goods with trucks below." He said loudly.

"This accident has become the biggest safety accident in my port...... Alas, now everyone is miserable, and there are departments from above to check on both ends for three days......" he continued.

"Oh...... So suddenly, it's miserable. I chimed in.

I followed him up the narrow gangway, where a middle-aged foreigner in a full white seaman's suit was already waiting, he was about fifty years old and had a small beard. I quickly handed him my papers, and he flipped them over and examined ours. Then I talked to the guy at customs.

The foreigner returned his documents to me, nodded politely to me, and made a gesture of welcome.

I quickly smiled at him and nodded.

What did he say? Is French spoken? I couldn't help but ask.

He said that ships sailing on the seas are also known as 'mobile land', and boarding this huge cargo ship means stepping on French soil. And then...... He welcomes you aboard their freighters! Welcome to their country! He gladly replied.

"Oh! That's great...... Thank you. I held his hand.

"You're welcome. Have a great trip! In addition, his name is Tony, and he is the first mate on the ship. I just told him a little bit and asked him to take care of you. The middle-aged man with glasses said with a smile.

"You're amazing, you can speak French. Oh yes, what is the position of the first officer? Great official? I asked.

"The duties of the crew are hierarchical. The 'king' on the ship is the captain, and the positions in the deck department below the captain are the first officer, second officer, third officer and ordinary crew, and the positions in the engineering department at the technical level are the chief engineer, the chief engineer, the second engineer, the third engineer, the mechanical engineer, the electronic engineer, etc...... You have been getting familiar with it for more than 20 days! If you don't understand the language, you can use gestures! Also, if you're lucky, maybe some of the crew members will speak a little Chinese! He smiled.

I patted him on the shoulder and waved goodbye.

Tony smiled at me and nodded, then pointed to my large backpack.

It immediately dawned on me that he was going to check my backpack - presumably the rule was once on board.

He opened my backpack, looked at it closely, opened the compartment inside, saw a stack of dollars, then gave me a thumbs up, smiled at me, and returned the backpack to me.

That's when I realized that Dr. Liu had given me so much money.

“Money！ Chinese! He said aloud.

Of course, I understand that he is praising us Chinese for being rich.

This Frenchman is kind of cute - I smiled at him, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke to him a few simple words of English.

Actually, my English is still good, and I used to use it occasionally when I was running business in the company, but this Frenchman doesn't seem to like English very much, and he still goes his own way and speaks those grunting French.

Walking less than 10 meters through the narrow gangway, we officially stepped into the inner cabin of the ship.

I finally walked into this big ship!

The first thing you feel when you walk into the inner cabin is that it's really like a labyrinth! Although the entire aisle is lit like a palace, the narrow aisles are divided into separate sections, each of which is divided into several levels of lattice, and each space seems to be easy to hide something. There is a hatch every few sections, and those who have just entered have no idea where this door leads.

If you sneak up on it...... I guess it can be well hidden, hee-hee - I thought to myself.

After climbing the three flights of stairs in the inner cabin, we finally arrived at the working and living quarters. On the wall of Tony's office hangs a "Deck Information" with the layout and purpose of each floor from Floor A to NAV Deck. As can be seen from this information sheet, in addition to the kitchen, public toilets, cinemas, gyms, libraries, TV rooms and other public activity areas, the accommodation on the ship is divided according to positions, the captain and chief engineer live on the F floor, and the ordinary crew and technical workers live on the D and E floors.

Tony was very enthusiastic about introducing me to the information sheet, and although I didn't understand it, I could probably guess what he was trying to say from his body language.

I took a look and I should have been accommodated by them on the D floor.

INTERVIEWER What kind of place is this? I'm starting to get a little worried.

Tony suddenly grinned and laughed.

At this moment, I had in my mind the image of me huddled in a small, damp cabin with a sailor covered in oil, and slowly fell asleep every night to the sound of the sailor's snoring and the sound of the big ship's engine......
