There is a far distance under my feet, there are always poems in my mouth, and there is always melancholy in my eyes. When people learn to deny their innocent self and begin to yearn for it, it means that the helpless society is opening its arms to them. Interest can be lofty, but life must be real money. Being refined does not mean that you can avoid vulgarity.
After leaving campus, wind, rain and setbacks hit our faces. Some people choose to face difficulties, some choose to be arrogant and hide in the spiritual world to avoid reality, and the vast majority of people are resigned to mediocrity after being defeated. There are still a very small number of people whose path has already been paved, and all they need to do is follow the route designed by their parents to reach the so-called other side of success.
Each of the dozens of young people who are qualified to be invited to the ship has a future path prepared by their families, so they can continue to pursue poetry and distance as they please. But one thing is the same, that is, during the period before leaving campus, they were impulsive, confused, and enthusiastic. They began to reflect on the meaning of survival and longed for correct guidance.
It was approaching evening, and the afterglow dyed the sea into golden red. In the bright main cabin hall, Li Muye stood in front of the glass curtain wall, cooking delicious food on the grill against the background of the afterglow. There was a modest smile on his face, and the specially groomed mustache on his lips made him look more mature and calm, without the decadence he had before. He Xiaoqi excitedly gathered around, not so much trying to make a move, but rather trying to get a taste of it.
The aroma of fresh ingredients carefully prepared attracts almost everyone.
Lu Shaofen was sitting closest to the grill, looking at Li Muye with blinking eyes. Zhou Ping sat next to her, looking a little helpless and melancholy as he was dissatisfied with desire. Behind him, a group of young people were holding beers or drinks in their hands, looking longingly at the grill and the large oven behind Li Muye.
Lao Cui said that the Russians have a proverb that bread is just food to a full person, but it is life to a hungry person. People who are well fed will not understand the desperate feeling of starving and freezing in the cold wind.
Life should not only have its bright side, these young people are missing a lesson.
So, at this time, the boat suddenly stopped. Without the steady low-frequency noise of the engine, suddenly everything was quiet.
The power-off grill no longer exuded its alluring charm. Lao Cui came from the computer room, walked up to Li Muye and whispered a few words.
Lao Cui looked gloomy. After reporting the situation to Li Muye, he hurriedly left. Li Muye said to everyone: "Dear friends, I want to inform you of some bad news. There is a serious problem with the power supply system of our ship. A diesel engine unit suffered a cylinder explosion accident, and the cylinder adhesion caused There was a chain reaction and the generator was burned out, so it may take a long time to repair.”
These young people in the ivory tower are still at the level of children in terms of life. They lack common sense understanding of machinery. They don’t know what a burst cylinder is. They don’t even know that this kind of ship has backup equipment. Even the main power system If something goes wrong, you can still rely on the energy stored in the battery to last thousands of kilometers.
When Li Muye said this, they believed it.
At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, and generally thought that such a problem might be solved soon. And they all believe that even if there is no fresh food, the reserves on the ship will be enough to meet the arrival of rescue.
Darkness slowly fell, and the cruise ship floated silently on the sea after the power supply was terminated. An invisible depressive atmosphere gradually spread. First, some people began to complain about the lack of clothes. As time went by, in the darkness and silence, the fragile and sensitive girls began to worry about the difficulty of the night.
He Xiaoqi was the first to lose her composure and came over to question Li Muye: "Can that big man you found know how to sail a boat? Our boat has never been broken before, so why did it break down as soon as we caught him? ?”
When she asked this question, Li Muye was condescendingly observing everyone's reactions at the moment. Harmony replied: "This is a very professional question. I can't give you an accurate answer. But now, the only thing I can be sure of is that among everyone present, Lao Cui is the one who knows the most about mechanics." He asked with a smile: "You What do you think?"
He Xiaoqi was doubtful and puffed out her cheeks and said: "What a bad luck. Isn't this a slap in my face?"
A girl with long hair hanging down her shoulders and looking very delicate came over to comfort her: "Forget it, Xiaoqi, your cousin can't control this kind of thing. Anyway, there is still enough water and food on the ship. Just bear with it." , just wait until the rescue arrives." Then she turned to Li Muye and asked: "Brother Li, when will the rescue arrive?"
Li Muye said: "The call has been made, but they said that due to the weather, it may take a while to arrive. The specific time is not clear yet."
"Why do you say it will be affected by the weather?" A boy asked loudly, "Isn't the weather here pretty good?"
Li Muye said: "We are currently in the outermost part of Hangzhou Bay, close to the East China Sea area. The nearest rescue team is in Beigang. This distance is a bit far. A helicopter can only fly over with full fuel. There is no way to fly back safely. And that It's windy and rainy right now, and the rescue ship can't be sent out for the time being, so we have to wait a little longer."
"It's windy and rainy over there, will it be the same here soon?" the long-haired girl asked.
Li Muye said calmly: "Probably, but you can rest assured that our ship is very big and can withstand strong winds and waves. The mechanical problems only affect the power performance, and there is no problem with the safety performance."
"You said it's okay if there's no problem?" Another young boy stood up and questioned: "Isn't there any life-saving equipment and small generators on this ship?"
This guy does have some common sense. Li Muye said: "Of course there are small generators, but I don't know where exactly they should be placed. Lao Cui has already looked for them, including spare lighting equipment. Once he finds them, he will bring them over as soon as possible."
Time goes by, and this silent waiting really makes people feel like the days are passing by.
At this time, Lu Shaofen followed Li Muye's instructions and took out a large bag of bread and cans from the back kitchen warehouse.
"There are a lot of frozen foods on the ship, which need to be processed before they can be eaten." Li Muye said loudly: "There are not so many things that can be eaten directly. Considering that we don't know how many days we will last at sea, so we have to Eat sparingly." He added: "Don't panic, everyone. In the short term, there will be no problem with food supply. I am just preparing for the worst."
He added: "The current situation is not yet clear. We have indeed encountered a little difficulty, but it is not so bad that it is life-threatening. All we can do is stabilize our mentality and wait for help. If you trust me, please accept my arrangement. , come here to receive a certain share of food, and then wait here. I will do my best to protect you all and return home safely."
"Cousin, I believe you!" He Xiaoqi was the first to take a piece of bread from Lu Shaofen and said.
"Brother Li, I really admire your calmness." The long-haired girl chose a box of canned fruit.
"Mr. Li, are you really not nervous at all?" A young boy came over to get a piece of bread and walked up to Li Muye and asked.
"I can't say I'm not nervous at all." Li Muye replied deeply: "But my past experience tells me that being nervous can't solve the problem at hand. What we can do now is to stay calm and judge the situation. Make the best decision possible.”
He continued: "You need to be calm when dealing with big things. Not to mention that we have plenty of food and drinks now. Even if we are really at the end of our rope, we must not lose our composure. This applies to both shopping malls and the workplace. , only by doing this can we have a chance to turn things around at a critical moment of life and death."
"What did you do before?" a girl asked.
"When I was in the Northeast, I opened an Internet cafe, contracted for coal mines, and later founded a Hongye Investment Company." Li Muye said: "After that, I went to Moscow. I stayed there for five years and visited many places, including the farthest places. We are already very close to the North Pole. I won’t tell you the details of what I did and how many dangers I experienced.”
"I've heard of Hongye Investment." A boy in a suit and leather shoes stood up and said, "I just moved from the Northeast recently and changed its name to Hongye Group. The beautiful CEO is Wang Hongye. She is very beautiful and she even slept with my family. Magazine, it turns out you founded that company."
Li Muye said: "Yes, when we first founded Hongye Investment, there were only me and Wang Hongye's brother named Wang Hongjun. For me, it was a very happy time. At that time, I was as old as you are now and could do anything. It was full of enthusiasm, and I almost never thought of stopping to take a break.”
"Actually, you're not much older than us." The long-haired girl said, "Brother Li, did you come up with the name Hongye Investment?"
Li Muye said: "Yes."
He Xiaoqi asked: "It must not be simple between you and that Wang Hongye, right?"
"Well, you can say that." Li Muye said frankly: "We once loved each other, but later we had to separate due to some inevitable disputes."
"Is it because of the first capital increase and share expansion?" The boy from before said: "I read an interview with Wang Hongye in a magazine. She mentioned that the founder of the company left management during the first capital increase and share expansion. layer."
Li Muye said: "Yes, it's not convenient for me to say more about the specific process. I can only say that there were some misunderstandings, and then I chose to leave. After all, in my opinion, money should not come first, so when I arrived Today, I am still the third natural shareholder of Hongye Group, and I maintain a good relationship with the Wang brothers and sisters."
"Brother Li, can I understand that your original concession was actually just to get angry for beauty instead of love for the country and the beauty?" The long-haired girl asked in a romantic tone: "How can you be at the age of twenty? You founded your own business at a young age. I think you must be a person who is very dedicated to your career, but now you would rather stay at home and live like a hermit. Is it because of women?"
"Can I not answer your question?"
"No." The long-haired girl said, "Because my question is actually something that many girls here want to ask."
"Okay then." Li Muye spread his hands helplessly and said: "The reason why I left Hongye Group was that I didn't want Hongye to be in trouble between her mother and me. But today I chose this kind of life just because I wanted to rest for a while and stop. Take a break and recharge your batteries, after all, I’m not old enough to retire, right?”
"Awaiting price." The young boy in a suit said: "I think you are undoubtedly a very talented person in business. Hongye Investment changed its name to Hongye Group, and moved south to Suzhou. These actions all happened after you came from After returning from Russia, I think this has a lot to do with you. We haven't left school yet, so of course we won't know you too deeply, but Uncle He Kunzhong must know the inside story, otherwise, he wouldn't You will be treated with such special respect.”
"We are cousins." Li Muye smiled.
"I'm still Lao He's biological daughter." He Xiaoqi said: "I graduated from high school three years ago and studied business with Lao He for almost two years. I have never seen Lao He give such great honor to anyone. Isn't he Do you want to invite you out?"
"That's understandable." Li Muye said, "But I haven't decided to accept his invitation yet."
As soon as the hatch opened, the light shone in. It was Lao Cui who came back with the backup lighting. Also towing a small generator. He walked straight to Li Muye and planned to whisper. But Li Muye waved his hand and interrupted: "We are on the same boat now. No matter what risk changes occur in the outside world, everyone here has the right to know!"
"The wind is coming!" Lao Cui winked at Li Muye quietly, and then said in a deep voice: "The ship's ability to withstand wind in a stationary state is much worse than in a sailing state, so I need everyone to be prepared. , because in the next dozen hours, we are going to be shaken."
