Chapter 9 Dinner

"Is he the person you are talking about?" Looking at the little bald Dongfang in front of him, Andrew felt that Ruth was joking with him.

"I also know that this is a bit unbelievable, but it is indeed him." Ruth pointed helplessly at Lu Bu and wanted to touch his bald head, but Lu Bu turned his head to avoid it.

"Ms. Ruth, do you understand what these drawings represent?" Andrew looked at Ruth: "He has a higher design level than me and rich shipbuilding experience. He knows the various performances of the ship well. This kind of thing is not Talent can bring that.”

Ruth looked at Lu Bu beside her, unable to explain, because she was convinced by Andrew. Could this little bald man have stolen the fruits of other people's labor?

Lu Bu ignored the girl's gaze. At this point, her role was gone, and all that was left was his own time.

"It seems that Mr. Andrew has seen my drawings. Then it is Mr. Andrew's turn to consider the next few issues!" Lu Bu sat down generously and pointed out many of his problems with the ship one by one.

Andrew was a little impatient at first. He thought that Ruth was deceiving him by joining forces with this oriental brat. But with Lu Bu's questions, Andrew became interested and started to argue with Lu Bu.

Professionals can tell at a glance whether the other person is a liar or a real person by discussing many professional things. Many of Lu Bu's vocabulary are more oriental, but Andrew can still understand him.

The argument between the two gradually turned to the technical level. The issue of material has always been something Lu Bu focused on. The strength just now was very high, but the toughness was insufficient. In other words, it would become very brittle when exposed to cold. This was something that had never been thought of before. What's worse is that the Titanic does have to pass through a sea of ​​ice. At the current speed, it is indeed easy for problems to occur.

"Sorry, you two, can you interrupt?" Ruth had to interrupt their conversation.

"Why are you still here?" Lu Bu looked at Ruth in confusion. Their kindness was clear. Ruth had done a good job and could disappear.

"Ms. Ruth, do you have anything else to do?" Andrew was obviously dissatisfied with the interruption.

Ruth: "..."

Although it was true and there was no hypocrisy, she suddenly hated this kind of true nature now.

"Although I'm a bit rude, it's already dinner time." Ruth reluctantly showed a smile. Although the atmosphere was not as oppressive as that of her mother and Karl, but... this terrible feeling was not wonderful.

"I'm rude." Andrew suddenly realized, stood up, looked at this magical oriental child and said, "My friend, I don't know your name yet."

"Lu Bu, in your way, it should be called Bu. Lu." Lu Bu looked at the clock and stood up.

"Well, Lu Bu, I want to invite you to attend tonight's dinner as my friend. You have a magical charm. I believe everyone will like you!" Looking at Lu Bu's height, Andrew suddenly realized that he was actually dating another person. Oriental children discuss sophisticated design issues and have great fun talking about them.

God must be joking with me. Why is such a genius a Chinese?

"Thank you." Lu Bu did not refuse and stood up to shake hands with Andrew.

"I like your straightforwardness. By the way, the safety risks you just mentioned do exist, but no ship will be completely without problems. However, there is the most advanced radio here, which can call for help from nearby ships in time. At the same time, there is a crime Experienced observers, lookouts, and most importantly, the captain in charge of commanding this ship, Mr. Smith, has the title of Captain Safe, so you can rest assured that there will be no problem. But as you said, when we arrive in New York, we It will improve." Anderson smiled and assured Lu Bu that his worries were unnecessary.

"The moon waxes and wanes, and the water overflows when it is full. This is a sage from my hometown who summed up the laws of all things in the world. There are no absolutes in anything. When everyone thinks that there is no problem with something, the probability of something going wrong will be very high. Big, it's like a well-trained army with an invincible general. When everyone thinks that this army and the invincible general are invincible and invincible, the logistics officer becomes resentful because of the general's arrogance and deliberately delays For two days, the soldiers were dissatisfied with the general's suppression of them, and the general was dissatisfied with the soldiers' unruliness. Finally, after encountering the enemy, this supposedly invincible army was finally wiped out. "

Anderson frowned slightly when he heard this. Lu Bu's big call was a bit difficult to understand, especially the first two sentences. It always felt inexplicable when spoken in English. The waxing and waning of the moon is a natural law. When the water is full, it will naturally overflow. Why do Chinese people do this? Do you regard this kind of sentence as philosophy?

But the subsequent explanation seems to correspond to the previous article, which makes people think it makes sense.

Ruth walked behind the two of them. Although she was dressed in fine clothes, she felt like a maid. She couldn't get a word in the conversation between the two and could only stare at the back of Lu Bu's bald head.

"I will advise them to be careful and ask Mr. Smith to slow down the boat as much as possible." Anderson led Lu Bu into the banquet hall.

"Hi, Lu~" Jack stood in the corridor above Yuan Xinde where he listened. Although he was wearing a suit and leather collar, he always felt out of place in the splendid environment and seemed quite reserved. When he saw Lu Bu, although they were not familiar, they This is the only person he is familiar with except Ruth. Ruth was taken away by her mother halfway, and Lu Bu followed Andrew here.

"Yeah." Lu Bu nodded to him, and then continued to chat with Andrew about some shipbuilding design issues. He lacked knowledge in today's physics. On these technical issues, he could communicate with Andrew and learn some basics. Sexual stuff.

"Oh my god, have you really never studied physics? It feels like your understanding of physics is as good as any mechanics expert!" Andrew praised sincerely.

"At this point, China is indeed lagging behind." Lu Bu was not shy about his country's shortcomings.

Jack: "..."

Why can this oriental brat be so natural and unrestrained? Seeing such a magnificent scene for the first time, shouldn't he be the same as himself?

When the two came to the dining table, Andrew warmly invited Lu Bu to sit next to him and introduced Lu Bu to the people around him. There is no need to say more about the status of the Chinese in the West. Someone nodded politely. This was for Andrew's sake. , some people simply ignored it, but did not criticize him. After all, this was Andrew's recognized friend.

Faced with so many disdainful or indifferent looks, most adults, let alone children, probably couldn't remain calm, but Lu Bu did it. He simply arranged his tableware, which was not standard, but it felt like it was taken for granted. On the contrary, it makes people around you less confident. Did you practice the table manners you have practiced all your life wrong?

After Jack and Carl came over, the dinner officially started. Jack was the protagonist of this dinner, because the name of the dinner was to thank Jack for saving Ruth's life.

However, in fact, Karl was obviously reluctant. He pointed out Jack's identity from the beginning to avoid any misunderstanding by others. Then he looked at Lu Bu in confusion: "Is this... a Japanese?"

The bald head was already very abrupt, and the black eyes and outlines were very different from those of Westerners. Karl asked with some uncertainty.

"Chinese." Lu Bu said calmly.

"Sorry, but I don't remember that I invited the Chinese to this party." Karl frowned and looked at Lu Bu. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a child, he would have already wanted to drive them away.

"Mr. Lu is my friend. He has extremely high talent in design." Andrew frowned.

"Oh, really?" Karl nodded. Although his net worth was higher than that of Andrew, he didn't want to offend the senior manager of White Star Company, so he just wanted to give him face. However, after looking at Lu Bu, he couldn't help but say : "But I suggest that Mr. Andrew be more cautious when choosing friends. After all, there are differences between people."

Andrew frowned and wanted to say something, but Lu Bu had already picked up the sword and gun, and his childish voice was unexpectedly loud: "I don't know much about the British aristocracy, but I think there are some common principles, don't bully the weak, don't be afraid Nobles do not cause trouble for no reason, and are not afraid of right and wrong. I think these are noble qualities, and only those who match these qualities can truly be called nobles, right?"

The words were obviously very plain, but they gave people a sense of ups and downs. At this moment, Lu Bu, who was sitting at the bottom and was also the smallest, seemed to be the host of this banquet. Even a faint glance seemed to have a sense of dignity. An inexplicable sense of majesty.

"Of course, you're right." Karl was a little at a loss for words and couldn't find the basis for his refutation, so he could only echo awkwardly. This kid is really unpleasant. This is obviously a banquet organized by me.

"Let's serve the meal." Karl motioned to everyone, and the dinner began.

The waiter on the side began to serve everyone the food.

Looking at Lu Bu leisurely eating the food in front of him, it was obviously full of loopholes, but it gave people the feeling that... he was right.

"I think if this kid wants to live in the West... he should learn dining etiquette. After all, if you want to join the upper class, you must know these." Karl seemed to have found a point to criticize this kid, and couldn't help but mocked, He didn't know why, but Jack was clearly the one who should be squeezed.

"Tolerating other people's mistakes is, I think, also a noble character." Lu Bu didn't feel any embarrassment and just said lightly: "With my height, if I follow your table manners, this meal will not be enjoyable." So comfortable.”

Karl: "..."

The principles are all yours, right? ?

Why can this damn kid rationalize his mistakes so confidently and make the other party think that he is wrong! ?

However, I still couldn't refute, so I could only start eating depressedly, using the most standard table manners, but...

Watching Lu Bu eat naturally, even if he didn't speak, it was as if he was the protagonist of the dinner. Everyone's behavior was unconsciously affected by him, and then he found out awkwardly that his table manners seemed to be incompatible with the dinner table.

This kid's aura is a bit strong, he couldn't be from the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, right? In this case, he is barely qualified to be on this table.

Thinking that the other party might be a member of the royal family, Carl calmed down a lot and began to target Jack.

Jack, who was about to give Lu Bu a thumbs up, began to bear the anger from Karl. He obviously couldn't deal with it as coolly as Lu Bu...
