Chapter 154: Cruise Ship Explosion
Remember [Flag] in a second, popular free reading!
It's really a coincidence, Qiao Zhichu has been to Wall Street twice, and both times he made an appointment with him to see his house, but as if he was cursed, he had an accident both times, and in the end he didn't see it.
Ji Yunshen clicked on the video as he said, took the phone away a little, the camera swiped over his chin first, Qiao Zhichu saw the cyan color on his chin sharply, the color contrasted with the white neck, a little dazzling, although the picture was only a flash, she frowned, and her eyes were a little distressed - it seems that he is really busy, he is a person who pays attention to his image, if he doesn't have time to take care of it, it is absolutely impossible for him to let himself be a little embarrassed.
The picture of the living room appears in the picture, his house is actually not very large, looking at the residence of a bachelor, the camera moves from the living room to the room a little bit, and she slowly follows his lens to see the place where he transforms from a boy to a man.
I can't help but think that when he faced the failure of the lawsuit, her betrayal, and the accusations of strangers, what would he think when he came to live and work hard in this strange city alone? In this room, will there be a moment when you think of yourself?
It must be, it's just that the kind of 'thinking' is not the kind of 'thinking' she thinks now.
He should still hate her at that time.
Ji Yunshen pointed the camera at a room, and she saw the bright lights outside the balcony, although it was only a vague outline, but she could still imagine what kind of prosperity it was now.
"This is my room." His voice came, and Qiao Zhichu paid attention to his room, and was surprised when he saw that his room was exactly the same as the decoration of her master bedroom now, and even the sheets were the same style and color.
She was surprised and asked, "How is your house exactly the same as the house in Gangneung?" ”
"I don't like to adapt to an unfamiliar environment." He is slow by nature, and after adapting to one place, he doesn't want to spare extra energy to adapt to another unfamiliar environment, so he simply decorates them exactly the same, and he doesn't feel out of place.
Qiao Zhichu's heart softened: "You show me you." ”
Ji Yunshen didn't answer whether it was good or not, but after a while, his face appeared on her screen.
He was a little thinner than before he left, and there was indeed a circle of stubble on his chin, which looked a little sloppy, but she felt that he had an indescribable taste like this, which was very ...... Cruel.
Qiao Zhichu casually clicked on the front camera, and when her face appeared on the phone screen without warning, Ji Yunshen was slightly stunned.
In fact, her current image is not very good, she rolled around in bed a few times just now, and her hair was messy.
Ji Yunshen smiled and asked her, "Why do you want to look at me?" ”
"Just see."
"And what do you see?"
Qiao Zhichu blinked: "You have lost weight." ”
Ji Yunshen sat down on the bed, sat in the same position with her, leaned against the head of the bed and smiled lazily: "You are fat." ”
Qiao Zhichu glared angrily, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore: "I'm not fat!" Go take a shower and go to sleep. ”
He raised his eyebrows: "Then I'll hang up." ”
"I'll hang too."
Saying that, but neither of them hung up the call, staring at the screen with wide eyes, and couldn't help but laugh at the end.
Ji Yunshen's voice softened: "Seriously, you rest, don't turn off the picture, I'll watch you sleep." ”
Qiao Zhichu's heart was warm, and he agreed, unscrewed the bedside lamp and lay down, and put his mobile phone next to the pillow.
Obviously she is still alone, but at this moment, she has no feeling of loneliness.
***
Ji Yunshen never took the initiative to tell Qiao Zhichu what happened to him, Qiao Zhichu took it for granted that he was just busy with work, in fact, his company really encountered a big incident this time.
Contracted a logistics line, specializing in transporting goods from New York to China and Hong Kong, and the operation has basically matured for more than a year, but I didn't expect that three days ago, a cruise ship they were about to start, suddenly there was a big explosion, the ship was destroyed and the cargo sank, and dozens of crew members on board were not spared!
This incident was frantically reported by the media in New York, causing great social repercussions, and it was also pushed to the peak of public opinion, receiving verbal criticism from all walks of life, who all believed that they were the culprits of the accident and must bear all responsibility.
Ji Yunshen came to New York the morning after the accident, refused all media interviews, and directly asked the police about the cause of the explosion, and the police replied that the cruise ship itself was leaking oil, and there may have been people smoking on the cruise ship, and the cigarette butts ignited gasoline, which directly led to the explosion of the cruise ship.
"A cruise ship weighing dozens of tons exploded because of a cigarette butt, which is really the funniest tragedy the United States has heard in recent years." This is how some media commented on the explosion.
It's funny, but it's true.
Ji Yunshen leaned against the window and finished smoking a cigarette, and Sam, the manager in charge of the cruise ship transportation business, also came: "Mr. Ji, this is the list of all the goods on board at that time. ”
Ji Yunshen pinched off the cigarette butt and turned to look at him, although he is an American, he speaks Chinese very well, and he was originally selected to be in charge of the cruise ship tobacco business, also considering that his language is convenient to communicate with China and Hong Kong.
Sam said stiffly: "At that time, the cargo on the ship was cotton wool, which is also flammable, and this is part of the reason why the fire was so big at that time.
Ji Yunshen looked at it silently, the cotton wool was flammable and not explosive, and the goods only played a role in fueling the fire at that time, and the key problem was the leaked gasoline.
Ji Yunshen has a question in his heart, and this question is also a question from the police and the public - that is, to what extent did the gasoline leak at that time?
A leak of one or two liters of gasoline is unlikely to cause an explosion, and if it can cause an explosion, at least 40-60 liters of gasoline is required...... Assuming that the gasoline that caused the explosion in the first place was 40L, how did the 40L gasoline leak? Where is the leak? Didn't anyone find out the whole time?
From this point of view, the management of cruise ships is very inadequate, and there is such a strong resistance to it.
Ji Yunshen closed the document: "Where is the location of the ship's accident?" Take me to see it. ”
Sam immediately said, "Yes, Mr. Ji, over here." ”
Ji Yunshen followed the manager to the port, after three days, but the air in the port was still mixed with the smell of oil burn, and more than ten meters around the port were surrounded by the police, and from a distance, they saw that the ship was sinking to the bottom of the sea, only one tip was exposed, and the surrounding waters were dark and thick, and those were leaking gasoline.
In addition to casualties, they are also responsible for this polluted waters, and now they have to face not only public prosecution, but also the crusade of the Natural Environment Protection Association, which has been almost sky-high fines.
The investment company, for the first time in ten years since its inception, has been so stormy.
Ji Yunshen closed his eyes, and the surveillance video of the pier he saw at the police station came to his mind, and that scene really looked like a raging purgatory.
"Who are you? How did you get here? There is nothing to see, it is all cordoned off by the police. ”
Suddenly, a hoarse woman's voice came to his ears, Ji Yunshen opened his eyes, and looked sideways, it was an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman, she was carrying a basket of groceries, as if she was passing by and asked casually.
Sam replied fluently in English: "We are the one who contracted this logistics line, let's see how the ship is doing." ”
"So this is your company's ship." The woman suddenly realized, and looked at Ji Yunshen who was standing at the front, "Then who is that Chinese?" ”
"He's our boss."
The woman looked at her again with a clear look: "Oh. He's your boss. ”
Sam ignored her and continued to look at the cruise ship, Ji Yunshen also moved his head, but just when everyone was defenseless, the woman suddenly burst out, grabbed a fruit knife from the vegetable basket, and stabbed Ji Yunshen directly!
No one thought that this kind of thing would happen, and at the last moment, Ji Yunshen only had time to raise his hand to block the murder weapon, and his arm was immediately cut by the sharp blade with a deep wound, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
Seeing this, the surrounding security guards immediately pounced on the woman and pressed her to the ground, slashing her fruit knife with one hand.
Some other people helped Ji Yunshen cover his wounds, Ji Yunshen frowned, sideways to avoid them covering themselves, and some people hurriedly called an ambulance, and their sudden change in the scene also attracted the crowd near the dock, and they all gathered to watch the excitement.
The woman was pressed to the ground and was screaming frantically: "Why haven't you black-hearted freight company gone out of business!" You killed my son! Killed my son! ”
Ji Yun looked at the woman sharply, her eyes were red and full of hatred.
Someone around suddenly said: "Ah, I remember, she is Amanda, the crew member, it turns out that she also suffered that accident." ”
Another person said: "She is very pitiful, after divorcing her husband in the early years, there was only Peter by her side, and now that Peter is dead, what will she do in the future?" ”
"Yes, it's all to blame on this freight company, which was not operated properly, and actually caused the ship to explode and kill so many people."
"No, no one noticed that so much gasoline was missing, and they didn't know how this company was opened."
"This company used to make investments, and it only started to do logistics last year, so it must be that the technology is not mature."
"If you want me to say, if you want to make money, you have to see if you can make it, isn't there a saying in China that if you don't have that diamond, you will be stopped from working in porcelain, can't you invest well? It is necessary to venture into a completely unfamiliar territory. ”
……
Here it is again, every time this topic is brought up, it will always be the object of crusade
Ji Yunshen looked at Amanda and pursed his lips: "Let her go." ”
The security guard slowly let go of Amanda, who immediately pounced again, but was still caught by the eyes of the man.
"You killed my son! You black-hearted companies have killed my son! I won't let you go! ”
Ji Yunshen glanced at Sam, and Sam immediately asked people to disperse the crowd of onlookers.
After being surrounded by their own people, Ji Yunshen said: "The explosion of the ship was an accident, for the death of your son, I apologize to you, and we will compensate for it, although it is not enough to make up for anything, but it is all our little heart." Just be assured that our protective measures have always been the best we can, and this accident was unexpected. ”
Amanda said hatefully, "Hehe, that's a nice thing to say! Yes, you didn't mean to explode the ship, but you were ready to explode! ”
Ji Yunshen frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Amanda roared loudly: "You have planted bombs on the ship!" ”
It's ridiculous!
Ji Yunshen denied without hesitation: "There are no bombs on board. ”
"My son told me in person, he Qingyang saw it, you still dare to quibble! If it weren't for the fact that there were bombs, how could the ship have exploded when it said it exploded! ”
Sam scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! How could there be a bomb, why should we put bombs on the ship! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will immediately sue you for slander! ”
Amanda gasped sharply, her expression was still very angry, Ji Yunshen didn't look like she was lying, but it was too unbelievable that there was a bomb on the ship, wasn't this accident an accident? ?
Ji Yunshen glanced at the sea again, suddenly turned around and tore off the cordon, and jumped directly from the platform to the beach on the coast.
The closer you get to the sea, the stronger the burning smell.
Because the ship exploded not long after it was started, it was not very far from the shore, and some of the wreckage of the ship was blown up to the beach, Ji Yunshen bent down and picked up a piece of debris.
It's slimy.
