The ship she took when traveling through time was already a giant ship in Lin Keying's eyes, but when she actually boarded this international trade ship, she experienced firsthand what a behemoth it was.
The five-story ship was carrying 200,000 tons of cargo, splashing pure white waves on the sea.
The huge ship is rolling. The Ocean World has a total of twenty floors, which is equivalent to the height of an eighteen-story building. The ship has superior rooms, ordinary rooms, lobby, restaurant, swimming pool, bar, gym, cinema, amusement park...
A total of 5,463 passengers were filing in and rushing into their rooms. Soon, the guest rooms on the 16 floors were filled and a crowd quickly gathered in the hall.
It was the first time for Lin Keying to step onto such a luxurious ship. Even the criss-crossing corridors of the guest rooms were decorated in a surprising way. She stepped on the dark brown wooden floor with black leather shoes and admired the art paintings on the wall every half a meter.
Going up to the eighth floor, Guo Changda and his wife's room 816 is adjacent to Lin Keying's room 817.
"Keying, put down your luggage and take a rest. You can go down and order food later." Zhao Fengzhen had taken luxury cruises many times in the past and was already familiar with it.
"Okay." Lin Keying opened her room with her luggage and was shocked to find that the luxurious guest room was as exquisite as that of a five-star hotel.
The whole house is decorated with dark brown wood grain, and the texture is outlined in every texture. The 4.5-foot double bed in the middle was covered with pure white bedding and looked clean and tidy. Next to the big bed are a carved rosewood wardrobe, a wardrobe, a dressing table, and bar chairs against the wall. The room also has its own bathroom with a bathtub and a shower, so it has everything you need.
After putting the clothes into the closet in the room, Lin Keying rested for a while before going downstairs to the hall with her godfather and godmother.
The hall is spacious, with a bartender and a band on the central platform. Colorful liquors and drinks are poured into high-heeled glasses and taken away by passengers one by one.
The cellist and pianist played music together, some of which were melodious and graceful, some were passionate and lively, igniting the enthusiasm of the people in the center of the dance floor.
The restaurant next door consists of a kitchen and rows of rectangular dining tables. The main cuisines are Chinese, Western and French. Lin Keying ordered a bowl of hot beef noodles, while Guo Changda and Zhao Fengzhen each ordered a bowl of seafood risotto.
"This is the first time I've seen such a luxurious cruise ship." Lin Keying found everything new, which was in stark contrast to her uneasiness about the future when she first traveled to the ship.
Now she enjoys it calmly and even watches people dancing on the dance floor while eating.
Waltz, tap, tango... the dance floor accommodates everything and you can dance as you like.
The moment Chen Songxian boarded the ship, he threw away his sadness, focused on enjoying himself, and went straight to the dance floor to dance with strangers.
The handsome oriental man, wearing a floral shirt that looked both sexy and noble, easily attracted the attention of several young western women.
The enthusiasm of young people was unleashed at this moment. Chen Songxian danced with different women, and finally got so excited that he had a tap dance battle with a Western man, winning applause from the audience.
Lin Keying was eating beef noodles, and from time to time she glanced at the dance floor from afar. She couldn't help but smile as she heard the cheers: "Godmother, look, there's a dance battle over there."
Zhao Fengzhen's eyesight is not as good as when he was young, so he can't see clearly, but listening to the lively noises around him, he feels a few years younger: "It's better to be young."
There were five thousand passengers on the same ship, and the flow of people was extremely heavy. After dinner, Lin Keying and her godfather and godmother sat for a while and then went back to their room to rest.
As night falls, the small window of the room looks like a square black ink painting, through which one can vaguely catch a glimpse of the light moonlight.
After washing up and sitting on the soft big bed, Lin Keying took out a pen and paper and wrote down some of the names of the mines in South Africa where SSS-grade hidden rough stones were found. There were three mines in total, but her memory was not complete. In addition, the names of the mines were difficult to pronounce, so she could only remember part of them:
Yamizu XXX Mine
Soto XXXX Mine
JinXliXXX Mine
But that's enough. Once you get to the place and see the detailed introduction, you can confirm them based on your partial memory.
It was late at night and there were still people partying in the lobby on the first floor. Occasionally, the sound of drunk passengers returning to their rooms could be heard drifting in from the corridor of the guest room building. Lin Keying fell asleep on the slightly swaying and comfortable boat.
But before going to bed, I suddenly thought of my newlywed husband. He will land in Paris at noon tomorrow and should know that I am going to South Africa.
——
There were many passengers partying all night in the hall. The brightly lit cruise ship was almost a small port city. Chen Songxian was among them.
After dancing for a while, he sat at the bar counter, drinking with a few strange men and chatting about all sorts of things.
When some people heard that he was going to South Africa, they wondered why.
Chen Songxian maintained his dignity: "My cousin thinks highly of me and sent me to develop important markets."
Several people praised Chen Songxian for his youth and potential, and the atmosphere was warm and lively.
But it was a bitter wine, and Chen Songxian had to swallow the grievance in his heart. This trip to South Africa took at least four or five months, and the luxury cars, beautiful women, delicacies, villas and mansions were all gone...
He is suffering.
Especially the woman he fell in love with at first sight in Gangcheng, but he was exiled to Africa before he found her. He didn't know whether he could renew their relationship after returning to Gangcheng in half a year.
There is no shortage of beautiful single women at the bar counter. If Chen Songxian wants to keep his usual romantic nature, he must get to know one or two of them. Even if they are not in a relationship, he will still act like a playboy.
But at this moment, he recalled the back of the woman he saw at the auction and on the street, as well as the slightly delicate profile of her face that was revealed from the side, and he was no longer interested in other people or things, nothing at all.
"Handsome boy, I just saw you alone, do you want to chat?" A pretty girl speaking Cantonese approached, obviously interested in Chen Songxian.
The word "yes" was stuck in his throat. For the first time in his life, Chen Songxian did not agree. The figure still flashed in his mind. Even knowing the pretty girl was boring. "Sorry, I have to go upstairs to rest. I'll buy you a drink. Goodbye. Ah Fa, give the pretty girl a glass of Blue Danube. Put it on my account."
Back in room 888 on the eighth floor, Chen Songxian fell asleep with resentment.
++++
On the first day of waking up on the luxury cruise ship, Lin Keying was not quite used to it.
The slight swaying feeling of floating in the blue waves almost gives people an illusion of being tipsy, and the square windows become bright paintings, white and beautiful.
Back in the area where they had dined last night, Lin Keying was enjoying breakfast with her godparents. Milk, eggs and toast were on the plates and were being eaten bit by bit.
"Master, I heard that South African diamonds are of high quality. Although the output is not as high as that of Congo, it is good quality in small quantities."
Guo Changda had heard of this a little bit. He owns several gold mines in South Africa with a good annual output. "In the early years, there were many gold mines, and countless overseas businessmen flocked to buy them. In recent years, some people have paid more attention to diamonds."
Gold has been a hard currency since ancient times and its value is relatively stable, making it the best safe haven, especially during major economic crises.
Gold mines were naturally valued and fought over.
Rough diamond mining areas receive less attention, but their potential is enormous.
Several people talked about South Africa's mineral resources. Gold mines and diamonds are both important production areas in the world. Lin Keying had an idea. This trip was a long one, so she naturally had to plan well. She had a target for the diamond mining area, and she could also purchase the gold mine depending on the situation.
Guo Changda has a lot of invitations in his hands, and he also has properties in South Africa, so there will be someone to pick him up after landing, so the trip will be safe and guaranteed.
After breakfast, her godparents drank tea in the tea room, while Lin Keying went up to the deck alone to enjoy the breeze. It was already bright, and the salty and humid sea breeze gently brushed her face, bringing a hint of coolness.
The thin gauze skirt fluttered in the wind, dancing with the woman's thick long curly hair. Her graceful figure was outlined by the shadowy clothes, making it even more graceful.
The sea and the sky meet at one another, like the background of a painting at this moment. The people in the painting stand with their backs to the world, which becomes a beautiful scenery in the eyes of others.
Crowds of people were moving back and forth on the deck. Chen Songxian suspected that he had gone to bed almost at dawn and had a light sleep for more than three hours, which made him dizzy.
The figure on the deck in the distance gradually overlapped with the woman he had been dreaming about.
He stepped forward, ready to confirm carefully, but in the blink of an eye, the figure who had just been blowing in the sea breeze on the deck disappeared in the crowd.
With a light sigh, Chen Songxian confirmed once again that he was really dazzled. How could that beautiful girl from Hong Kong appear on the same round-the-world cruise as him!
......
Lin Keying enjoyed the sea breeze for a while. When the hour hand of the delicate Plum blossom watch on her hand pointed to nine o'clock, Lin Keying thought of her newlywed husband, who should have landed at the Paris airport.
After returning to the cabin, Lin Keying didn’t know how Cheng Wanting would react when he found out that she had boarded a cruise ship to South Africa. She would bring him a gift when she returned!
Paris airport.
After twenty hours of flying from Hong Kong City, the plane finally landed.
Cheng Wanting got off the plane accompanied by his secretary Yang Minghui and two bodyguards. Yang Minghui had already started working and reported the itinerary arrangements to the eldest young master.
"Master, a representative of Global Shipping wants to meet you this afternoon. There will be a conference dinner at 8 pm. The whole day tomorrow will be an international shipping conference. The day after tomorrow, two major consortiums from France and Britain will invite you to discuss port city real estate and shipping issues..."
The schedule was packed, and even the diamond ring auction that the young master was eyeing could only squeeze out twenty minutes to attend.
Cheng Wanting responded quietly. He had long been accustomed to the non-stop work schedule, but at this moment he was more concerned about another thing: "Has Chen Songxian boarded the ship?"
After Yang Minghui got off the plane, he immediately called to confirm: "Master, Master Chen Songxian has confirmed that he has boarded the ship to South Africa. The ship is now far away from the port city. Don't worry."
After reporting this, Yang Minghui felt a little more at ease. It’s good that he’s gone. Everyone will be happy if he leaves!
"Yeah." Cheng Wanting's brows relaxed, he walked out of the airport and got into the Lamborghini that had been arranged to pick him up. After sitting down, he used his mobile phone to call his home in the villa halfway up the mountain.
By this time, my newlywed wife should have woken up.
The telephone in the living room kept ringing. Mrs. Hua picked up the receiver and was relieved to hear that the young master had landed safely. "Young master, I'm glad you've arrived safely."
Cheng Wanting raised the corners of his lips slightly, the pressure on his body was relieved, and he leaned back in his chair leisurely. When he thought about that messy TV series, he felt it was all nonsense.
Yang Minghui sat down next to the young master. He could vaguely hear the voice coming from the mobile phone. He was also relaxed and it seemed that his breathing was much smoother.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mrs. Hua, Cheng Wanting said, "Mrs. Hua, call Keying. I want to talk to her."
"Master, the wife is not at home."
"You're going out so early?" Cheng Wanting didn't know what could have made his newlywed wife so busy.
"No, she left yesterday afternoon." Mrs. Hua reported what Lin Keying had told her. "Madam said she wanted to go with her godfather and godmother to buy some diamond mine. I don't understand that either."
"Buying a diamond mine..." Cheng Wanting had a bad feeling in his heart, as if a dark cloud was looming over him, making him breathless. "Where did he go?"
These four simple words sound heavy and gloomy, as if filled with lead.
"What's it called?" Mrs. Hua tried hard to recall the name of the foreign country, and finally remembered after a moment, "Oh, right, it's South Africa!"
Yang Minghui was going to wait for the eldest young master to hang up the phone before continuing to report on his work, but as he waited, he found that there was no sound in the carriage, and the silence was so frightening.
The mobile phone was still in the eldest young master's hand, but he didn't say anything else. His broad palm holding the mobile phone was tense, with bulging blue veins, his brows were tightly furrowed, his jawline was extremely sharp, and his handsome face looked stern.
The young master looked so stern that he had never been so serious even after experiencing various life-and-death battles over the years!
Yang Minghui's heart skipped a beat. Could something big have happened? !
