Not long after, there were about a dozen people gathered at the side of the ship, chatting away in groups of twos and threes.
Not long after that, a middle-aged man with a mustache brought up a topic that everyone was interested in, and it seemed to be about the recent changes of a famous luxury brand.
That caught everyone's attention. A group of people joined in the discussion, sharing whatever news they knew. This was to show that they were knowledgeable and well-informed.
After a while, some of them started talking about the recently trending Andemans conditioner, Dildis' pearl jewelry, or the latest fully automated fishing gear.
Lin Sheng was bored, and having been annoyed by their chatter, he decided to head back to the cabin to rest.
As he passed by the cabin, there was a display cabinet at the corner of the corridor, and within it was a satellite television.
The white square television was broadcasting the current situation of the Assembly of Nations.
The Assembly of Nations was similar to the United Nations General Assembly on Earth in Lin Sheng's previous life, and it was a gathering of representatives from various countries to discuss and resolve various issues.
"I do not agree with what Redwinian's representative had said!"
A sonorous voice rang out from the television.
"First, Celine's excessive use of Red Waste Ore will worsen the world's environmental pollution, and this is an unreasonable accusation without any basis! To date, there is no evidence to prove that the use of Red Waste Ore will permanently pollute the environment! Second, there is a conflict over the territorial boundaries, and the sea between Port Francisco in the Pearl Ocean and Port Tony has always been a part of Celine, and according to historical records … "
The Celine representative on the television, a middle-aged man with a full beard and a full suit, was berating Redwinian and Migaolo's accusations against Celine.
In the entire Assembly of Nations, he refuted Redwinian's accusations against Celine one by one.
His arguments and arguments were short and forceful, and extremely convincing.
Lin Sheng stood by the side and listened for a long time.
"Viktor is a learned man, fluent in seven languages, and holds three doctorates from world-class universities in law and psychology. He was an ambassador to the Kifferman Embassy and Kyrgyzstan Embassy. "
A low and powerful male voice came from beside Lin Sheng.
"He is knowledgeable, has many students, and has a great reputation. He could have stayed overseas to enjoy life, but he resolutely returned to the country and chose to be Celine's representative in the Assembly" the male voice calmly said.
"This requires a lot of willpower and determination." A female voice sighed.
"Yes. Not everyone can give up comfort and choose hardship, "the man said with certainty.
Lin Sheng didn't say anything. He just quietly watched Viktor's impassioned speech and proposal after proposal. But these seemingly powerful proposals couldn't even pass the first round of voting. They were rejected one by one.
There were a total of three rounds of voting, but now, he couldn't even pass the first round of voting …
Viktor tried his best to salvage the situation and convince the representatives of the other countries to agree to his proposal, but by the time it ended, not a single one of the thick stack of proposals in his hands had been passed.
When the meeting was adjourned, the other representatives left.
He sat alone in his seat and looked down at the proposal that he had painstakingly sorted out. There was no response for a long time.
"This is Viktor's fourth speech in the Assembly. The other countries' speeches would more or less get one or two proposals into the second and third round, but he … "
The male voice was also a bit emotional.
Lin Sheng didn't say anything. He only turned to look at the person who spoke.
It was a middle-aged man in his thirties. Next to him stood a few men and women who were on the railing outside. The others seemed to be listening to him.
Among them, the girl in the low-cut white dress was also there. She turned to look at her companion.
Her companion was the young girl who was wearing a purplish-black fishtail skirt.
The young girl's name was Cindy. She was a Celine. She had the typical black hair and eyes of a Celine.
Celine had many skin colors. There were white, yellow, and even red and black, but there was one thing that everyone had.
That was black hair and black eyes.
The others who didn't have black hair and black eyes were mostly mixed-blood or foreigners.
The people around them seemed to have noticed Cindy's hair and eye color.
Although there wasn't a particularly obvious reaction, as they continued to chat, the others more or less kept a little distance from her. They began to ignore her as if she wasn't there.
In the eyes of others, most of the Celine people who boarded this ship were refugees.
Refugees.
In the eyes of others, this was the label on the current Celine people. They spent energy and time chatting with each other, not because they wanted to really chat, but because they wanted to expand their network and socialize.
Cindy lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Lin Sheng walked over silently and reached out to pat the girl's shoulder.
Without saying anything, he quickly walked into the depths of the cabin. He went back to his room.
Cindy looked up at Lin Sheng, only to see his strong and tall back.
…
…
After eating at the restaurant in the afternoon, Lin Zhounian and Gu Wanqiu felt out of place in their surroundings. They felt awkward and uncomfortable staying outside, so they went back to their room early to read.
Lin Xiao and Lin Sheng took a walk outside, then slowly returned to her room with his help.
Lin Sheng sent Lin Xiao back to her room. When he went up to the deck and went to the observation deck on the second floor, he saw someone shouting on the side of the ship.
He followed them.
He saw a gray black boat floating on the sea not far away. There were dozens of people crowded on the boat. All of them had black hair and black eyes.
The boat seemed to be leaking, slowly tilting and sinking.
The people on the boat looked panicked and at a loss. There were several mothers with children, they were holding their children tightly.
One of the seven or eight years old boys was singing loudly, as if singing so bravely could not face the impending death.
"Save them!!" On the side of the ship, a bearded Celine man shouted.
"Impossible! Those are refugees, they are all stowaways. We can't let them board the ship, it's illegal! It's an insult to the Ocean Silverstone! "
A ship manager retorted mercilessly.
"They are human lives!!" The bearded man yelled, his face red in anger.
But no matter what he said, the sailors and the ship manager did not relent.
The only response was' No! ',' Impossible! ',' We can't do anything! '.
Lin Sheng did not move as he stood quietly on the deck, looking at the slowly tilting and sinking boat, he suddenly had an indescribable urge.
"How can you all be so cold!! So cruel!! "
The boat sank, and the bearded man cried.
The vice-captain who rushed over waved his hand, signaling for everyone to return to their posts.
"Why are there refugees? Isn't Celine doing well in many places? "A passenger who could not take it anymore asked in a low voice.
"Some places are fine, but some provinces were hit by Miga's airstrikes, and many cities were hit with gas bombs and shock bombs. Too many people have died …" Someone replied.
"Is the news blocked?"
"Yeah, other than the Redwinian military line and some fixed satellite channels, the rest are not connected to the internet. The newspapers don't allow it either, so the news can't get out. "
"It's been alright. When I came to Xilin previously, I met more than one refugee ship near Ikaru in the north. Those boats were caught by Miga's patrol boats, and were shot from top to bottom with machine guns. Even when I pass by that area now, there are corpses everywhere. "
One by one, the passengers gathered around and discussed the information they had heard.
Soon, the bearded man was dragged away, and his voice faded away.
Lin Sheng stood by the side of the ship, and did not speak for a long time.
He had never seen himself as one of Celine's, but at this moment, for some reason, there was an indescribable anger stuck in his chest, unable to be vented.
