v2 Chapter 150: leadership (1/2)
Karina drank the bottle of rum, and managed to divert her attention from the spice boat she was chasing under the guidance of Zhang Heng. However, she did not stay quiet for a long time. Began to stir up other things, mostly related to her childhood.
She talked about her father, who has rarely appeared several times since she was born, her mother who was addicted to the ball every day and her perfume-filled lover, her older sister who was two years older but liked to grab her stuff, and an old dog named Parker. ...
Most things are intermittent, and her emotions are mixed with it. ”I thought we didn't like each other so much. I thought that my mother would be with her lover after my father was in jail, and my sister would go to London to continue painting ... … Because my (family) was born to be broken, this was something I realized when I was six years old, everyone there, including me, was busy with their own affairs, indifferent to others, but strange What happened was that when the bad news came, no one left. ”
The business woman paused. ”This is the most unreasonable part of the whole thing. We have been fleeing this black hole that devoured us all our lives. But when the opportunity is in front of us, why do we choose to stay?”
Zhang Heng waited for Karina to announce the answer, but then the latter talked about a salon she attended last year, complaining about how unpleasant the desserts were, how hypocritical the guests were, and then she said finally Lie on the table without moving.
Zhang Heng didn't wake up the business woman to let the latter go back to her room to sleep, but chose to leave the captain's room. There was nothing other than books in it anyway. Don't worry about any secret being discovered by Karina.
He took the door behind him, and there was no one in the dark corridor outside.
Zhang Heng did not go far, but leaned against the wall on one side and closed his eyes. Until this moment, he finally felt a deep tiredness.
Different from the mood when leaving Hong Kong, these days the Jackdaw was covered by an atmosphere of doubt and frustration. After experiencing the perfume ship and the Duffy, the crew now has an instinct for the so-called intelligence. Doubts, even if Zhang Heng announced the news of the spice boat, it did not raise much morale.
As time goes by, there are more and more unfavorable voices about this operation. Zhang Heng has not always been as indifferent as it appears on the surface. Especially considering the result of the failure of the first flight, the survival environment of the Jackdaw will no doubt be Further worsening, and more importantly, the captain of him, as the first responsible person, will certainly not be able to blame him. After returning to Nassau, he will face a more dangerous situation.
Therefore, Zhang Heng can't help but have doubts, even the extreme situation that Karina has said, but at this time, it doesn't make much sense to look forward and look after the future. Instead, it is better to go black.
Now everyone in Jackdaw can panic, but his captain cannot show even a little negative emotion.
Because in this kind of helplessness, everyone's expectations will naturally fall on the captain, hoping that he can have a way to lead the ship out of the plight. His confidence and calmness are the last comfort of the sailors. Zhang Heng knows the situation now Nor can it be considered a bad thing, because if he can lead the people through the crisis safely, then he can quickly establish prestige among the new and old crew members and become a true leader.
The question now is, can he really do it?
Zhang Heng does not know the answer to this question. In the previous rounds of games, he basically only needed to take care of himself and do the things at hand. He is also such a person. He rarely participates in collectives at school. Activities are more accustomed to being alone, but not to communicate with others, but simply do not like this kind of things.
