"Mr. Astor, you lifted me up to the sky, don't let me fall down."
"Haha, you won't fall if anyone falls, come on, let me introduce you to some friends."
Russell walked over and saw three people dressed as European gentlemen in red wine-colored tuxedos, gold-rimmed glasses, and sticks.
"These three Pulitzers are members of a family of American news media. The news reported tomorrow will be led by the Pulitzer family and published in the four major newspapers."
"This is Russell Walker, from London, England. He used to be an explorer and is now planning to open a security company. He is very professional. You should understand what I'm talking about."
The three members of the Pulitzer family nodded in unison.
"Understood, it is indeed very professional to be able to arrange the evacuation work in an orderly manner under such dangerous conditions."
"Thank you for the compliment, Russell Walker."
"Jon Pulitzer."
The other two also introduced themselves.
At this time, Isidor and his wife Ada came over and explained that Mrs. Brown was absent from the party because her family was seriously ill and couldn't leave her body. Everyone expressed their understanding.
And Mrs. Gordon was immersed in the grief of Gordon's death in the shipwreck and did not participate. There were more than a dozen such celebrities and nobles.
As for the Guggenheim, he went to Toronto to discuss business, but did not rush back.
Isidore used to be a member of the New York State Council. He had a high status in New York. He introduced several regular customers to Russell, as well as candidates who were about to run for Congress.
When introducing a man wearing a coat, a cane, and gloves, Russell's heart beat extremely excitedly, and then quickly calmed down.
"Sean Thompson, Mr. Walker, I respect you very much. You have saved many people. I admire your heroic deeds."
"Thank you for your praise. In fact, those who survived in times of crisis are all because of experience and their own qualities, and have little to do with me."
Astor smiled and said, "Walker, don't be humble. Being humble in the United States is the original sin."
"Oh, well, I admit it."
"Ha ha…"
A regular customer said with a smile: "This is a young man who can listen to advice."
"Listen to people's advice to eat enough, a proverb in an ancient oriental country."
Sean is inconspicuous among the crowd. His identity is the president of the Irish Civilian Association, a non-governmental organization.Although he is participating in the parliamentary election, his number of votes is not high, only about 10,000+ votes of Irish descent.
Russell didn't have much contact with him, he just followed Astor and Isidor among the nobles, celebrities and guests, raising a glass to toast from time to time.
Everyone present was very respectful, because to give Russell face is to give Astor and Isido more face. These two old guys usually don't show their faces, and they seem to be good at speaking.
In fact, it's ghostly...
Socialize two or three laps, and eventually Astor
"We have been in touch with inquiries from the British investigation team and the New York investigation team these days, and we have clearly explained the incident with them. Only when they agree, we are going to publish the incident in the newspaper."
Isidor said seriously: "And you, Walker, you will be the first supporting role in this incident."
The Titanic is the absolute protagonist, which cannot be contested.
"You want to make a name for me?"
Astor looked at Isidor and said, "Look, I'll just say that with his intelligence, he can get through at a point."
"Well. It does, why? You don't want to?"
Russell shook his head: "That's not true, it's just that the greater the fame, the greater the responsibility. If I become famous all over the United States because of this incident, then my future life will not be too peaceful."
Astor said: "Everything has pros and cons, as long as the pros outweigh the cons, this thing can be done."
"Yes."
Russell smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Haha, don't be polite, we are friends of life and death!"
At that time, Isidor, Astor, Guggenheim, and Gordon took a simple raft, but only three survived. Except for Russell and Tommy, the fifth mate Lowe knew about this matter.
But it is impossible for Lowe to say that he has been bribed by Astor. After the investigation is over, Lowe will resign from White Star Shipping and work with Astor. This is the best result.
They survived the shipwreck and boarded a new ship.
"Mr. Astor, is this manor your property?"
"No, this is JP Morgan's estate. He is a banker... Although this profession is very disgusting, Morgan is considered a conscientious banker. At least his bank has not closed down."
"Oh, he was on vacation in France at the time, and he wanted to join the boat, but he had a good time in France and changed his mind temporarily... I have to say, he escaped, very lucky."
Russell said with a smile: "Death detested him."
"Haha, yes, Morgan must be very happy to hear that."
Morgan provided the manor for gatherings of nobles and celebrities who survived the Titanic, and the purpose was also to keep a good reputation.
Since it is not the property of Astor and the others, Russell is more at ease.
After all, you can't let a dead body contaminate your friend's house.
At this moment, Russell saw Sean hurrying out of the hall, as if something had happened.
Russell said to the two calmly: "I'm sorry first, Ruth seems to be moved to tears by the enthusiasm of the ladies."
Astor frowned and looked at the crowd of women beside him, and sure enough, he saw Ruth with her head down, covering her eyes and brushing her face.
"Go."
Isidor reminded: "Come over for a drink later."
"Ok."
Russell responded.
Chapter 104 Self-directed gossip, Sean!play hard
If a drop of ink falls into a glass of pure water, it will never return to its original state.
It is fulfilling the famous saying that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black.
Since Ruth only has Russell in her heart, her thinking and way of doing things have changed a lot.
In the past, she was a woman who yearned for freedom and wanted to be self-reliant.
However, now he has become similar to Russell, who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, even if he plays a bitter scene and becomes hypocritical.
When she entered the manor, she once told Russell that if she became hypocritical, all the ladies and ladies present would be inferior to her.
As a matter of fact, she used grief and tears in exchange for the sympathy of the ladies at the scene and shortened the distance between them.
It's just that there are three parts of truth and seven parts of falsehood mixed in it.
Under the repeated comfort of the ladies, Ruth got better.
"Thank you, Mrs. Pulitzer, seeing you is like seeing my cousin, she also cares for me as much as you..."
The chief writer of Tomorrow's newspaper, wife of Jon Pulitzer.
She wiped her eye sockets and said with heartache: "Oh! Then we will be called sisters in the future. To be honest, I used to have a younger sister, but she..."
In the process of two people talking.
Russell walked over quickly, and apologized inappropriately.
"I'm sorry, ladies. These days Ruth has been immersed in the pain of losing a loved one, thank you for your care and care. Now I want to take Ruth out for a walk, and come back when she feels better, is that okay?"
Mrs. Pulitzer nodded: "Of course, Mr. Walker, you are a gentleman."
"Thank you for your understanding, then I will go around with Ruth first, oh, I have never seen such a huge manor, I hope we will not get lost."
Mrs. Pulitzer said with a smile: "You are very humorous, I hope you will not get lost."
"Haha, thanks."
Then, Russell put his arms around Ruth's waist and walked towards the outside of the main building intimately.
Mrs. Pulitzer and other ladies in the rear looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
"Young people can't calm down."
"But the atmosphere today is really good."
The ladies all knew that Walker's sudden and rude interruption was not because he wanted to go out with Ruth, but because he had other business to do, such as urgently wanting a fetus.
At this time, the European aristocratic women did not completely abandon their previous characteristics. They changed men faster than men changed cars. Perhaps in the eyes of a party, they would hold hands and spend a long night as companions.
Most of the scandals in the upper class are about who changed his girlfriend, who found a mistress...
Of course, only people in the upper class know about it. If the common people know about it, then this person will be useless. If it is a nobleman, it is okay, but if it is a celebrity in a position, the first thing to do is to step down, and then give an explanation to the common people.
But if someone deliberately leaks information and publicizes the real scandal, then this person will be the public enemy of the entire upper class.
Because this kind of news is different from the gossip papers...it really kills people.
outside,
As soon as Russell came out to breathe, he followed the path that Sean left just now.
"Mr. Walker, did I behave just now?"
"Very good, you have captured the social core of the upper class! Keep up the good work."
"Okay, I'll try again."
Russell smiled and said, "Now you hold me, and then we go to the path that leads to the backyard."
"it is good!"
Ruth hugged him tightly and tiptoed up to him.
The two moved towards the path leading to the backyard while opening their eyes.
Some people in the courtyard raised the corners of their mouths after noticing the two of them, feeling that it's good to be young.
This path leads directly to the backyard and is about 35 meters long.
As soon as Russell came in, he let go of Ruth, and said seriously: "You just stand here, don't move around, pretend to be intimate with me, I have something to do."
"Well, what if someone comes over?"
Russell laughed and said, "You shout twice."
"Huh? Then...that's too embarrassing."
Russell shook his head and said seriously: "Although Astor said that I am the protagonist today, I have no identity or status. Let them remember it only because of Astor and Isidore's face."
The hero of the shipwreck?Although the name sounds good, the least valuable in the United States is the hero!
"If you want people to remember as soon as possible and impress the upper class circle, the most thoughtful gift is to give them gossip news, so that you can quickly spread the popularity of the entire New York upper class circle."
"With this kind of gossip, you will get closer to them. If you are pure and white, the nobles will not approach you, not because they are afraid of polluting you, but because they are afraid that you will have bad intentions."
Ruth nodded when she heard the words: "Understood, I know what to do."
The backyard of the manor is just a vegetable garden, a fish pond, and a warehouse.
People are chatting in the front yard and the main building, so they won't come here easily.
Sean asked his assistant to wait for him at the back door because there was no one in the backyard.
Just now, Sean Thompson heard a piece of news that shocked him enough.
There was an exchange of fire between Lantmore Street and the church, with more than three persons on the other side, but no casualties.
On the other hand, the Irish suffered heavy casualties. Not only did Finn die, but his assistant Rich, who had just trained for less than half a year, also died. A total of 27 people died, with almost no serious or minor injuries.
"Boss, the opponent's marksmanship is very good. The bodies of the brothers were basically shot in the chest, abdomen and head. About 13 people were shot twice in the chest and killed by one shot in the head."
Sean frowned and pointed at his subordinates in suits and round hats, "How many people on the other side didn't understand? What about their appearance?"
"At least three people, no one has seen their faces...or, in other words, those who have seen them are all dead."
Sean was a little puzzled: "Rich said the boss of the other party is a British face...but there are too many British guys in New York. They are real hunters...why refute the fire?"
"Maybe it didn't work out. No, Boss, the other party just entered the church a few minutes before there was a gunshot... They came prepared!"
Sean frowned and said, "Someone should go and find out where these people came from. I don't believe they didn't leave any clues."
"Okay. Narch and Finn..."
