Chapter 122: The 'Nouveau Riuke's Big Deal
PS: There is another 'understanding person', hey, in fact, although Pig Pig is a stinky code, but he also knows that in the United States, medicine, law, and business are the starting disciplines of undergraduates.
I also know that many famous foreign schools, freshmen and sophomores are actually very open teaching, and it is very simple to transfer departments as long as you apply.
However, the key is that this is a fantasy novel of the 'Otherworldly Continent', and the setting of the university must serve the development of the storyline in the future, hey, how many times have I said it, I have taken a preventive shot before writing a book, 'scholars do not need to study deeply', we Chinese don't pay attention to talking first and then not arguing!
Feel free to ask for a monthly pass and recommendation, thank you.
"Of course it will go to sea, otherwise it would be called a 'cruise party'.
Didn't I tell you that this party will be going on from the afternoon until late at night, and we are going to spend the night on the ship, why did you forget to ask for leave from home?"
"No," Zhang Lisheng looked out the window again and found that everything was already as usual in the bright sunshine, thought for a while and said, "You know, I rarely attend parties, so I asked casually." ”
Tina had a puzzled expression on her face, but she knew that she wouldn't say anything even if she asked the thin boy in front of her, "It's better to be like this."
Alright Li Sheng, we're going to hurry down, the party is about to start, it's time for us to appear. ”
Zhang Lisheng nodded silently and took Tina's arm.
After the waiters in the lobby on the second floor of the ship were busy arranging the dresses of several VIPs, the "Three Sisters of Stanley" and their respective male companions began to descend to the next floor from the three observation elevators in the patio of the ship, accompanied by the popular music of the United States.
Abandoning tradition, he walked down the stairs covered with red carpet while receiving the blessings of relatives and friends in an elegant manner. Naturally, it was to take care of Walter, who had trouble with his legs and feet.
However, as the colorful fireworks for the daytime burst into the sky from the patio and the three beautiful girls slowly descended from the transparent observation elevator, the party participants still did not hesitate to let out deafening cheers, and the lively and joyful atmosphere was not diminished at all.
Originally, among the male companions of the three party protagonist girls, Zhang Lisheng, who was short, thin, and yellow-skinned, should be the most eye-catching.
But now because of the groomer's grooming, his appearance has been greatly enhanced, and although Walter tried his best to hide it, the appearance of his crooked steps and mouth twitching when he stepped out of the elevator was too strange. In contrast, the boy standing next to Tina turned out to be less noticeable.
The vast majority of the guests who did not know why cast a very clever look at Walter with what they thought they had concealed.
In the amazement of the guests. The party continues, and the three beautiful girls who appear in the fireworks begin to receive adult gifts from their parents, and since it is the most important adult day of the girl's life in the traditional sense of the United States, all three parents who are worth a lot of money are very extraordinary.
Tina gets a top-notch apartment in Boston;
Cheria's gift was a brand new luxury yacht;
Tracey received a priceless antique cross engraved with diamonds that read 'Supreme Mo Ruo Tian, Supreme Mo Ruo Lord'.
After the girls had accepted the gift from their father, their male companions in this life offered birthday presents, and Walter presented the RNDO (Radar) Ladies Diver's Watch, albeit a slightly shabby. But judging from his economic strength, he has done his best.
The Doberman generously presented a Cartier diamond bracelet, which was a decent occasion for this occasion.
And Zhang Lisheng, who doesn't understand the market the most, sent out a pendant that is directly a necklace with more than five carats of transparent pink diamonds, so that at a glance, you can see that the Tao is either fake jewelry, or has its own name, and can be truly handed down jewelry as soon as it appears. It made the young people at the party let out a burst of exclamation.
"It can't be fake, but looking at this luster, it should be genuine.
Hell, this is the behavior of the nouveau riche. It's even more embarrassing," Seeing this gift, even Dubidi showed a surprised look on his face, "But this kid's shot is really generous..."
"Yes, a million-dollar necklace to celebrate his girlfriend's coming-of-age birthday may be a legend that will last for many years.
As for the nouveau riche, my dear, this is the New York of 'money never stops', not Paris that has declined to the point of being nothing but elegance and taste, and we are all descendants of the nouveau riche, aren't we?"
Hearing his wife's words, Dubidi pursed his lips in disdain, but did not say anything more.
While his father was speechless, Tina was whispering to remind Zhang Lisheng who didn't know what to do next after showing the necklace, "Lisheng, quickly put the necklace on me, how much did you spend on it?"
"Nine hundred and seventy thousand meters. ”
"God, you're crazy, how could you buy me such an expensive gift!"
"Your family is so rich, of course my gift can't be shabby and despised, and didn't your father give you a top apartment in Boston, it will cost millions...
"Hell, what adult gift did my dad give me, and what does it have to do with you?
On such an occasion, it is already very decent for you to buy a gift of several thousand, tens of thousands of meters. ”
"Yes," Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, "but I am Chinese, and I pay the most attention to courtesy."
According to our custom, the gift I give should be the same as your father's... Forget it, you don't understand, anyway, I'll give you a gift, and you can just accept it. ”
At this time, the dance music sounded, and Tina, who was one of the protagonists of the birthday party and was responsible for leading the dance, began to dance with her male partner, "Li Sheng, I didn't mean to complain about you, I was also very touched to receive such a valuable gift from you, especially now that you urgently need money to expand your career."
But you should really do a search on the internet for 'what to give for your girlfriend's eighteenth birthday', and even if the prefix is added to 'the family is a super financial family on Wall Street', you won't find any information that will make you give a million-dollar diamond necklace. ”
"Are you sure you haven't?" said Zhang Lisheng with a strange expression.
"Oh, baby, you're looking at a prankster post. ”
"You Mi people are really hypocritical, although we Chinese have the beautiful talk of 'sending goose feathers for thousands of miles, courtesy is light and affectionate', but that refers to the friendship of gentlemen. That is, the so-called real gentlemen of the West..."
"Okay, baby, don't talk about it, what we said is not the same thing at all, I was wrong, in fact, as long as you are willing to give me such a valuable gift, even if the original intention is a little vain and ignorant, I should only be moved..."
"Tina, if you admit your mistake, apologize sincerely, and don't say anything more 'the original intention is a little vanity and ignorance'. ”
"OK baby, I sincerely apologize, don't step on my feet again, okay. Tina said with a smile.
After an elegant ballroom dance. The party music was immediately replaced by fast-paced trendy dance music. Hearing this signal, the older guests smiled helplessly, and only a few who thought they were still young remained, and twisted their bodies violently.
Others walked out of the hall on the first floor or went straight to the cabins on the higher floors of the cruise ship. Spend this day at sea in a way that is more age-appropriate.
"Just one dance and then change the music to drive us away, the young people nowadays really don't know what Lu Dao is thinking, and the DJ of the party is too..."
"My dear, it was you who first said that there was something temporary, and you couldn't go to sea with her. ”
"It's all Stebi's fault, who knows that he suddenly agreed to sell the minerals in South Africa, this man has a bad brain, I'm worried that things will change after a long time..."Dubidi argued stiffly, but saw his wife's smiling face. He sighed softly, "You're right about Lulu, it's really my fault in the first place, I shouldn't complain about anything." ”
So saying, he and his wife walked up the ladder of the 'Elizabeth Holiday' with the departing crowd, and got off the boat in a gray manner.
Wait until all the guests who don't have time to spend the night at sea for various reasons have left the ship. The cruise ship quietly raised its anchor, sounded its whistle, and slowly left New York Harbor and sailed smoothly into the ocean.
At this time, in the wheelhouse on the top floor of the cruise ship. The middle-aged first mate, dressed in a white uniform and a white wide-brimmed hat, was covered with muscles, and reported to the old captain, who was holding the helm beside him with a serious expression: "Your Excellency, the 'Elizabeth Holiday' has left New York Harbor.
It is now moving in a constant arc at thirty knots per hour and is expected to return to New York Harbor in twenty-four hours. ”
"Harry, it's been almost a year since you were promoted to first officer, and I'm going to let you complete this voyage alone, what do you think?"
"Your Excellency, I, I would love to. The first mate was stunned for a moment and replied in surprise.
In Western law, the captain of an ocean-going vessel at sea, and the fire commander in the fire scene, even have the so-called 'temporary legislative power', and in an emergency, can use the 'free will' to moderately infringe on the legitimate rights of others, so as to avoid the occurrence of greater danger.
The rank of the first mate and the captain seems to be only one order apart, but in fact they are far apart, and most people will never be able to cross them in their lifetime.
"That's good to do. The old captain's tense face gave him a rare smile, and he turned and walked out of the wheelhouse.
"Steady speed, report anomalies at any time. Turning to see the old captain's back disappear outside the door, holding the rudder, Harry, who was tasting the captain's authority for the first time, raised his voice and commanded.
"Yes, Your Excellency. The navigator and wheelmen replied loudly.
After changing the helmsman, the 'Elizabeth Holiday' is no different from before in the ocean, in fact, modern large oil tankers have long been able to cruise automatically, in the past, we must remember the long route, familiar with the changes of ocean currents throughout the year, understand the stars, celestial phenomena of the navigator, now only need to know how to look at the nautical instrument can be competent;
The wheelman who used to help the captain and first mate at the helm is now an EEG programmer, and after setting the course, he has nothing to do, so it can be said that driving a modern ocean liner is not much more difficult than playing a simulation game.
But even so, the feeling of sailing in the Atlantic Ocean with a huge ship with a draft of nearly 100,000 tons still made Harry feel intoxicated, and he stood at the helmsman's position and looked at the open sea in front of him for a long time, and suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears, "Harry, what are you doing?"
"Of course I'm sailing my dear friend, the old fellow gave me the boat, and now I'm the 'captain'. Harry came back to his senses, looked at his friend who was working as a service manager on the Elizabeth's Holiday, and said in a low voice. (To be continued.) )
