Chapter 186: Cruise Encounter (I)

Xu Changqing's cruise ship is a British business cruise ship, which sails between Asia and Europe all the year round, and belongs to the Atlantic Shipping Company, and the largest shareholder of this company is Chen Jingguo, which is also one of the Chen family's industries in Europe. From the design to the service on board, this cruise ship is all Westernized and aristocratic, and the people who can afford to take this cruise ship are either rich or expensive, all of them are dressed brightly, and Xu Changqing is wearing an extremely simple Tsing Yi long shirt, which is particularly eye-catching among these people. Although Xu Changqing seemed to be incompatible with this ship and the passengers on board, no one would underestimate him because of this, after all, being able to get Chen Huilan, the helmsman of the Chen family in Tianjin, personally saw him off, and this kind of honor was not something that anyone could get.

After the steamer left the port of Tianjin, it needed to sail offshore for a day and a half to reach Shanghai, and as soon as Xu Changqing boarded the ship, Shanghai received a telegram from Chen Huilan and was ready to greet him.

Although Xu Changqing is also very familiar with such Western ships, those are limited to books, and it is the first time that they are actually boarded. Just like the Huang siblings, he was also curious about such a luxury ship, and he was full of interest, so he led the siblings to tour from the engine room at the bottom of the ship to the cockpit on the upper deck under the guidance of the ship's service staff.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Xu Changqing also knew very well in his heart that with China's current industrial level, it would never be possible to build such a luxurious but delicate ship. For a moment, his mood became a little heavier, and he lost the mood to continue the tour, and sat down on the chair on the deck, silently meditating. Compared with Xu Changqing's melancholy mood, the Huang family brothers and sisters, who were also on a cruise for the first time, became extraordinarily active, and after getting Xu Changqing's consent, they played around, showing childlike liveliness.

It was getting dark, and the ship would not arrive in Shanghai until early tomorrow morning, and the passengers on board either participated in the activities held in the cabin or went back to their rooms to rest, except for a few people on the deck who watched the sea view at night, only Xu Changqing was still sitting quietly on the deck.

"Can we sit down?" a foreigner couple standing on the other side of the deck suddenly walked up to Xu Changqing and said.

Xu Changqing looked sideways at the two of them, and saw that the man had silver hair, his appearance was mighty, but his eyes were slightly frivolous, he was dressed decently, and the whole person had a kind of aristocratic atmosphere, the woman looked very coquettish, with a brown wavy roll under an exaggerated Western hat, and the Chinese-style cheongsam she wore wrapped her body tightly, making her more graceful.

Xu Changqing has seen a lot of foreigners, but it is still extremely rare for foreigners to take the initiative to talk to Chinese people like this, which makes him can't help but sound Jennifer of Lihua Foreign Company.

"Please take a seat!" Xu Changqing said indifferently as he pointed to the seat beside him.

Because what Xu Changqing said was very pure British English, the two foreigners were stunned after hearing it, and their expressions were slightly surprised. After sitting down, the man couldn't wait to ask, "Chinese?"

Obviously, Xu Changqing's English proficiency surprised the two foreigners, and like most foreigners, they must have thought that it was impossible for Chinese to master their own language, just as they could not master Chinese.

Xu Changqing looked at the two of them indifferently, did not answer directly, and asked rhetorically in pure French: "British?"

The man exclaimed, "Oh my God! You are such an amazing Chinese that you can even speak such a tongue-in-cheek French." ”

Although French is known as the most beautiful language in Europe, there are not many foreigners who can master French, let alone hear it from a Chinese person.

Compared with the man's surprise, the woman's face was a little more surprised, and she also said in French: "Sir, have you been to France? ”

If it was Xu Changqing's previous temperament, he would definitely not be in the mood to tease these two foreigners, but after experiencing the loss of the Dao heart before, he understood some truths that he had not figured out before. The so-called Taoist law is natural, a qiē freewheeling, this casual act makes him more free, and the trace of the crack in the realm of the Dao heart that has not been completely repaired is also slowly healed imperceptibly, and it will eventually be repaired.

"No, I haven't been to France. Feeling the restoration of the Dao realm, Xu Changqing showed a smile on his face, shook his head, and replied to the man: "I have never been to England either, I learned English and French from a missionary. ”

"This is truly a magical land, and I cannot do it with the teachings of a missionary and his proficiency in his Chinese language. The man looked very calm, sat next to Xu Changqing, and asked, "How do you know that I am British?"

Xu Changqing pointed to the bow tie on the man's shirt and said, "I don't think there is any country in the West other than the United Kingdom that would tie the bow tie so tightly in such a hot weather." ”

The man smiled awkwardly, quickly took off the bow tie, unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, and made himself look casual, and then performed a Chinese-style fist salute at Xu Changqing, and said in very stiff Chinese: "In Lower Andre Fran, an English adventurer." ”

"Under Marie Thurant, French actress. The woman did the same, and said with her fists clenched.

Seeing the nondescript etiquette of the two, Xu Changqing was stunned, and when the couple saw his surprised expression, they couldn't help but think that they had pulled back, and they all laughed in unison.

How could Xu Changqing not understand the thoughts of the two, he shook his head helplessly, clasped his fists and said to the two: "Xu Changqing." ”

After the two of them chewed Xu Changqing's name repeatedly, they talked to Xu Changqing as if they were familiar.

From the conversation, Xu Changqing learned that the identity of Andre Fran is not simple, he is not only a paleontologist, but also a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and he also bears the title of British hereditary viscount. Another Frenchwoman, Marie Thuland, was also an opera singer by profession, but she was also a French paleontologist, inheriting her father's legacy, not only holding a knighthood, but also owning a large vineyard in the Bordeaux region of France, as well as two textile factories. Counting these two people, they have a certain relationship with the Chen family, Andre is an alumnus of Chen Jingguo, and Mary is a distant relative of the Chen family's eldest daughter-in-law.
