Tang Yibo swore that he was definitely not the kind of guy who judged people by his appearance, in fact, his current clothes and state were not very good, but the so-called "poetry and books in the belly", if a person has been in a high position for a long time or has read poetry and books, he can still easily see it, for example, those chefs in Chinatown don't know themselves, but as soon as they enter the back kitchen, they don't do anything, they know that they were a big young master before......

And this Mr. Chu doesn't look like a big man or a scholar no matter how you look at it, but why does Mr. Monet attach so much importance to him?

Monet didn't know what Tang Yibo was thinking at this time, of course, even if he knew, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, but focused on Chu Zhan.

Although Monet felt that the probability of Chu Zhan being an imposter was very low, after all, no one should pretend to be this identity, but for the sake of prudence, he still asked: "Mr. Chu, I am also one of the survivors of the Titanic, but I don't seem to have seen you on the ship!" ”

Chu Zhan replied with a wry smile: "Mr. Monet, of course you haven't seen me, we Chinese laborers are the lowest status on the ship, not only live in the lowest third-class cabin, but also the main job is to burn coal, refuel, and sweep the floor, how can a noble guest like you who lives in the first-class cabin see me?" ”

It was obvious that Chu Zhan had a misunderstanding because he saw Monet's grandeur now, but Monet didn't bother to explain to him that he actually lived in the third-class cabin on the ship, so he continued to ask: "Then how did you escape when the ship was shipwrecked?" Is it like what is reported in the newspapers? ”

Hearing this question, Chu Zhan replied angrily: "That's slander!" At the beginning, we were in a small boat that was broken and no one was riding at all, and we survived by relying on our lives, and it was not what was written in the newspaper at all! ”

"And where did you go when you got to New York? Why has it been more than a year since we came to recover the loss? Monet asked.

"Because of the Chinese Exclusion Act, we didn't leave the port at all, and then boarded the Atena, but I didn't expect to be sold to a plantation in Cuba, and I worked hard to get out!" Chu Zhan explained.

"What about the other five?" Monet asked again.

Chu Zhan shook his head and replied, "When we arrived in Cuba, the five of us were separated, so I don't know where they went. Speaking of this, Chu Zhan paused for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Even I don't know if they are still alive now......

Monet stood up and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "When we have a chance in the future, let's go to Cuba to find them!" ”

Hearing Monet say this, Chu Zhan asked in disbelief: "Mr. Monet, you, do you believe what I say?" Are you still willing to go to my companions? ”

Monet nodded and replied: "Of course I believe your words, because I have been investigating the truth of the shipwreck for more than a year, and I have found a lot of hidden darkness, and we are all companions who have experienced hardships together, so of course I also want to find the Chinese workers with you to uncover the truth!" ”

"Mr. Monet, I, I really thank you so much, to be honest, for more than a year, no one has believed my words, they all think that the six of us are despicable and shameless villains, I, I really don't know how to thank you!" Chu Zhan said gratefully.

Monet waved his hand and said, "Don't be grateful to me, this is what I should do!" By the way, what's next for you? ”

Chu Zhan sighed and shook his head: "I don't know, but I have to find a way to survive, earn some more money to send to my family, and then, like Mr. Monet, you said, go find those brothers!" ”

"I see that your body is quite strong, have you practiced martial arts before?" Monet suddenly asked, in fact, Monet's bigger basis is that he can escape from a place like a plantation, and he can sneak into New York thousands of miles away, which fully shows that this Chu Zhan is definitely not simple!

Chu Zhan nodded and replied: "When I was in my hometown, I practiced some crop handles, but now it's useless, no matter how good I practice, I can't stop the bullets!" ”

Monet said disapprovingly: "Then if you have a gun, aren't you still better than them?" ”

Then he said: "That's it, it just so happens that I lack a driver and bodyguard here, why don't you just stay and do things for me, I'll give you twenty-five dollars a month and food and lodging, how about it?" ”

"Monsieur Monet, are you—are you telling the truth?" Chu Zhan asked in disbelief.

Monet nodded and replied, "Of course it's true, why am I lying to you?" Why don't you think you have less money? ”

Chu Zhan waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, how can I be disgusted with the lack of money if you have food and accommodation and pay so much salary, Mr. Monet, don't worry, I will definitely follow you in the future!" ”

"That's good, when I'm done with this while, we'll go to Cuba in two years! Now, I'll find someone to teach you how to drive and shoot a gun, and then recuperate your body, and then you can officially take up your job! Monet commanded.

After arranging for Beasley to find someone to teach Chu Zhan to drive a gun and clear out the utility room of the magazine for him to live in temporarily, Monet closed the door and collapsed in the boss's chair to close his eyes and rest.

Just when he was half asleep, he suddenly smelled a fragrant wind wafting in front of him, and then a pair of plain hands just rubbed his shoulders, and Monet knew that it was Catherine who came without asking.

The relationship between the two happened more than a week ago, because Catherine was not suitable for the job of editor, and even after being transferred to a few positions, she still did not do well, so in desperation, Monet had to arrange for her to be his secretary, responsible for making coffee, receiving guests, and helping him make a memo or something, in short, what she originally wanted Christina to do when she was recruited.

Maybe she felt guilty or she wanted to find someone to rely on, so Catherine excused herself to thank Monet for inviting him to the house, and then drank from the dinner table to the bed...... (I don't dare to elaborate this time.) ）

PS: I remembered a passage from "Chen Xiaofei" I saw on Douyin: If a woman doesn't hint at it, then a man won't dare to chase it, she knows your bad intentions, and you also know her pretense of being reserved, so a hint of a hookup, a flirtation and a willingness, it contributed to a reluctance ......

PS2: Tang Yibo and Chu Zhan who appeared in these two chapters are because I suddenly felt that the protagonist lacked two right-hand men, so I arranged them in advance, so that some small things in the future would have henchmen to do, after all, many things are not suitable for women to do.
