Chapter 13: Meet Lilith Again
Early the next morning, Fang Lang came to Commodore Jackson's office again, and under the leadership of Commodore Adjutant Jackson, he signed a contract with the U.S. Department of the Navy for the purchase of the ship, and paid the $135,000 for the ship to the account of the U.S. Department of the Navy.
After completing the formalities, Fang Lang returned to Brigadier General Jackson's office again.
"Fang, you have to hurry up on your personal affairs, I have already informed you of the commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and we will assign a transport ship to your Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and you will be the captain of the ship in charge of the route from Brazil to Italy. Colonel Attilio Parisi of your Brazilian Expeditionary Force Navy is already asking when you can report, but I postponed it on the grounds that you are still attending the training assessment of the United States Navy. But they should be coming for you soon, so you need to hurry. ”
Sure enough, it is still the most reliable relationship of interest, after paying Mrs. Jackson a consulting fee, plus John's relationship, now Fang Lang and Brigadier General Jackson are already close uncles and nephews. Therefore, Jackson will directly help Fang Lang cover up many things.
"Uncle Jackson, in addition to looking for you to get your aunt's bank account today, I just want to hurry up and finish my personal affairs. But there are some things that I think might help Uncle Jackson, so I'm going to come to you! ”
"Oh! Tell me about it! What would help me? Jackson was stunned when he heard that it would help him.
"That's right, Uncle Jackson, because my global trading company wants to set up a branch in Italy, so I'd like you to introduce you to the Italian garrison in Naples, and to recruit some employees through his connections. In times of war, a stable job should be used as a favor to win over Italians. ”
"Haha.... You kid, if you want me to help introduce the head snake, you just said it, and said that you can help me, and I almost really believed it. Jackson saw through Fang Lang's trick at a glance.
Fang Lang was not embarrassed, and said to Jackson with a smile: "Uncle won't mind, will he?" ”
"Well, I'm going to have dinner with the mayor of Naples at noon today, and then I'll call Lieutenant Colonel Rolando Crespo to get to know you with you." Jackson also didn't mind.
At such a lunchtime, Fang Lang met Lieutenant Colonel Rolando Crespo, the mayor of Naples and the commander of the Naples garrison in Italy. He didn't say too many specific things at the dinner table, and General Jackson only introduced Fang Lang and said that this was one of his juniors, who was now serving in the Naval Logistics Department of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.
After the meal, Fang Lang visited the mayor of Naples and Lieutenant Colonel Rolando Crespo respectively, and with the help of the two, at a price of 40,000 US dollars, he bought a house not far from the military port of Naples as the office building of the Italian branch of Global Trade. And with the personal participation of Mr. Mayor, the company registration work was handled, and the office staff released the employment information to various talent markets, and agreed to recruit personnel in the new office building tomorrow morning.
However, for the person in charge of the company, Fang Lang must find a person he trusts, fortunately, Fang Lang will not leave Naples immediately in the near future, and there is still time to find it slowly.
Just after Fang Lang finished dinner with the mayor and Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, he was drunken on the way back to the barracks, feeling the cold wind of the Neapolitan winter, a familiar voice stopped Fang Lang: "Fang, is it you?" ”
Fang Lang turned his head and saw that it was the little nurse Lilith who took care of him in the Navy Hospital, and he couldn't imagine that he would meet this beautiful little girl on the streets of Italy after being discharged from the hospital, Fang Lang was also surprised.
"Wow! Dear Miss Lilith, am I dreaming? Or did I meet an angel. Fang Lang pretended to be a hooligan and joked.
"Fang, don't tease me. Why would you wander the streets of Naples drunk? Shouldn't you have already returned to the front line to fight? Lilith blushed with concern on her face.
In fact, Lilith's appearance is very in line with Fang Lang's aesthetics, white and red skin, although she has a few small freckles like most white people, black hair, black eyes, and a tall nose bridge like Monica Bellucci, the heroine of the later movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", but her personality is not the amorous in the movie, but has the temperament of a girl next door, which makes Fang Lang's heart moved, but it is a pity that he is a small soldier who will die in the war at any time. I don't dare to expect to really have any kind of intersection with such a girl.
"Haha.... Lilith, if I hadn't drunk and wandered the streets of Naples, how would I have had a chance to meet my goddess! Dear Lilith, I wonder if I can have a cup of coffee with me, a lost lamb looking for a goddess! Now that Fang Lang has confidence in his pocket, he doesn't want to let go of the opportunity to send it to the door.
"Ahh I'm afraid it won't work, it's getting dark now, and I have to go home or my dad will come out looking for me. Lilith doesn't hate Fang Lang, at least compared to the bohemian American soldiers, Fang Lang's introverted and humble character of Chinese soldiers will be more likable. Although this guy would always make fun of her verbally, he would never do anything like other American GIs.
"In that case, I don't know if I have the honor to be able to send my goddess home!" Fang Lang didn't want to be too eager to arouse the little girl's disgust.
"It's my house in front of me!" The little girl's answer made Fang Lang stunned for a moment, and he looked in the direction of Lilith's finger. Unexpectedly, Lilith's home was not far behind the office building that Fang Lang had just purchased.
Could this be fate? Fang Lang couldn't help but think in his heart. "Then we'll have to slow down, I want to slow down time."
Lilith covered her mouth and chuckled, "Okay! If you're not afraid of my dad teaching you, we can walk back slowly. ”
"If my father-in-law were to teach me a lesson, I would never resist. After all, I can't forgive the wild boy who doesn't know where to burst out of nowhere, and wants to kidnap the little baby that he has been carefully cared for for for more than ten years, right? ”
"Yikes! What to say! Who is your father-in-law? You.... Fang, I haven't seen you for a month, why have you become so bad! Lilith's face turned red under Fang Lang's attack.
Fang Lang borrowed the strength of wine, looking at the little girl's delicate face under the dim street lamp, and couldn't help but feel a little stupid!
Lilith didn't get a response from Fang Lang, and found that Fang Lang's face was full of pig brother statues, looking at herself stupidly, and a trace of sweet feeling surged in her heart for no reason. His face turned even more red.
Just as the ambiguous atmosphere between the two was heating up, an inopportune voice sounded in front of the two: "Lilith, is this your friend?" Do you want to call home for a cup of coffee? ”
Although the voice was soft, it also pulled the two back from the ambiguous atmosphere. Lilith was the first to react, startled, and hurriedly introduced: "Dad, why are you here, this is Fang Lang, my friend." ”
When Fang Lang heard that it was his father-in-law who was still talking about just now, and he was still molesting someone else's daughter just now, his parents immediately appeared in front of him, and cold sweat broke out from fright, and the wine was much sober. Hurriedly stood up straight, tidied up his clothes and said, "Hello, uncle, my name is Fang Lang, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”
Lilith's father was obviously a very cultivated gentleman, and he very politely stretched out his right hand and said, "Hello, nice to meet you, I am Lilith's father, Umaru Cockburn." It's all at the doorstep, how about a cup of coffee at home. ”
Fang Lang was of course very happy about Lilith's father's invitation, and he did not shirk it, and generously agreed: "Of course uncle, this is my honor." ”
Hearing that Fang Lang calmly accepted his invitation, this made Lilith's father a little surprised, and thought that as soon as he opened his mouth, the young man he saw would be frightened and run away! Unexpectedly, he accepted the invitation generously.
This made him start to seriously look at the young man in front of him. How could he never have thought that the young man in front of him, who had experienced the second life, and whose mental age was estimated to be older than him, how could he run away because he was found out by the other party's father because he was molesting the little girl!
