Both of them were soldiers, and they knew each other's situation very well, but neither of them called each other by his military rank, but called him Mr. Fang Lang's purpose was to put himself on an equal footing with the other party and have a conversation.
After all, the other party is a retired five-star general in the United States, and was a major Allied officer during World War II. Logically speaking, I am just a soldier under the command of the other party. When I see the other party, I must salute the other party and obey the other party's command.
But in the current situation, if you salute the other party, it will obviously not be conducive to the subsequent conversation between you and the other party.
So Fang Lang took the initiative to call the other party sir, instead of calling him general like the people around him.
General Marshall was also a mature man. It was obvious that Fang Lang's intentions were very clear. He didn't care about it and responded directly to Fang Lang's address.
It shows that he has never thought about using his original identity to overwhelm Fang Lang.
Therefore, he smiled and nodded at Fang Lang without hesitation, and said a sentence in Chinese with a smile that surprised Fang Lang:
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear."
This surprised Fang Lang, who was already very surprised to hear that the other party had been communicating with him in Chinese. His mouth opened slightly in shock, but he quickly reacted, stretched out his hand to the other party, and made a gesture of invitation:
"Mr. Marshall please!"
General Marshall also stretched out his hand directly to Fang Lang and said:
"Mr. Fang please!"
If it weren't for the other party's white skin, Fang Lang would have doubted that the other party would be someone from his hometown. Surprisingly, he understood Chinese etiquette so well and used it so skillfully.
Under the watchful eyes of all the guests attending the banquet, several people slowly left the banquet hall and walked towards the place where Fang Lang came out just now.
Because General Marshall did not bring a female student, Fang Lang did not introduce his two girlfriends to the other party. This would have a sense of showing off, showing off that he has two beautiful girlfriends in front of an American five-star general. , will make Fang Lang feel naive.
Lilith and Vivian saw General Marshall coming alone, and Fang Lang did not introduce them to General Marshall. After whispering to Fang Lang for a while, they left Fang Lang's side together.
They walked towards the friends they had invited to the party. Europeans and Americans were very keen to attend such parties, but Lilith didn't have many friends in the United States, most of them were classmates from the same school.
Vivian came over from school in France to attend this party, and the only people who came with her were a few very close friends.
But when these friends saw the two of them standing beside Fang Lang and walking out together, they were already extremely surprised, and they were all talking about the relationship between them.
Now that everyone saw the two people approaching, they all greeted them enthusiastically. Their best friends quickly surrounded them and began to chatter about the two of them.
Of course, the two of them would not directly introduce the special situation of two women sharing a husband. They had already agreed on this point. Fang Lang's external identity was that of Lilith's man, and Vivian was Lilith's biological sister.
The relationship between the two sisters is very good, so Vivian will always appear next to them.
Although this explanation would be slightly unfair to Vivian, it was Vivian's initiative. After all, it was closer to the truth.
After receiving this explanation, everyone put down their doubts.
Among them, Lilith's best friend at Radcliffe College had indeed expected this. After all, she was the only one who had seen Fang Lang at the school gate. He knew the relationship between Fang Lang and Lilith very well.
He had no doubts about the relationship between the two. What he was concerned about now was the news he had just heard. With excitement, he lowered his voice and asked Lilith, who looked very dignified at the moment:
"Lilith, I heard them talking about the old gentleman just now, is he our American five-star general General Marshall?"
Of course, Lilith had nothing to hide about such a thing that everyone knew, and she was very proud deep down that her boyfriend could associate with such a big shot.
But at this time, although he was very proud, he pretended to be reserved and nodded slightly:
"Yes."
When Bazaar heard Lilith's affirmative answer, she almost screamed. She covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from screaming, but she still couldn't suppress her excitement and jumped unconsciously.
Only then did he slowly control his emotions, his face flushed and he said excitedly to Lilith:
"Wow! Who is your boyfriend! Why does he know such a big shot as General Marshall!"
Lilith was stunned when she heard this. Of course he knew Fang Lang's identity very well. After all, Fang Lang was just an injured soldier when they met.
From being a nobody to becoming what he is today, all of this is seen in Lilith's eyes. My own family has also undergone tremendous changes because of Fang Lang's appearance.
And Fang Lang never held anything back from her, so Lilith could be said to be very clear about Fang Lang's situation.
But he also understands that his identity as a man is still a bit sensitive to some extent, and it is best not to let too many people know about it. From the fact that Fang Lang did not show up in person at this banquet, Lilith was able to understand the mystery.
Therefore, after he pondered for a moment, he smiled and slowly said:
"Because, my boyfriend is a great person himself!"
This answer was basically equivalent to no answer. Bazaar would obviously not be satisfied with this. She was immersed in excitement and did not feel the feelings that Lilith did not want to reveal.
Instead, he raised his lips, hugged Lilith's arm coquettishly and said:
"What kind of answer is this! Of course I know now that your boyfriend is a big shot. I mean what kind of big shot is he?"
Hearing Bazaar's questioning, Lilith frowned slightly and felt displeased, but after all, she was her best friend, and she was invited to the banquet by her this time, so he couldn't refuse to answer directly.
At this time, Vivian, who had been talking to her best friend, seemed to feel Lilith's embarrassment and directly intervened:
"My brother-in-law is the owner of this manor! This banquet is to celebrate my brother-in-law's move to a new home!"
Before Bazaar could continue to ask, several of Vivian's best friends had already squeezed in and shouted:
"Wow! Vivian, your brother-in-law is really awesome. He must be a big capitalist with such a big manor!"
Vivian said proudly after hearing this:
"Of course. In order to support my studies, my brother-in-law is going to fund me to set up a fashion brand. Now he has started to build a factory. All my clothing designs can be turned into real products directly in the factory.
Hahaha... Why don't you come over here and hug my thigh tightly, and wait for me to take you flying in the future. "
Most of the friends who came with Vivian were her classmates and students studying fashion design in France. France has just experienced the devastation of the war.
All industries are withering, all waste is waiting to be prospered, and people's food and clothing problems have not yet been solved. It is actually not easy for fashion designers like them to find jobs.
Vivian's words were obviously misplaced, and her purpose was very clear: she wanted to recruit her classmates to work for her in her new company.
After hearing Vivian's words, all the students immediately became excited and gathered around Vivian and said:
"Really? Vivian, this is really great. Be sure to remember to take me with you when the time comes. You really have a good brother-in-law."
Hearing this, Vivian smiled slightly, winked at Lilith and said:
"Of course, I am my sister's only sister. If my brother-in-law is not good to me, who else should he be good to?"
Basha, who had been standing aside without interrupting, heard this and saw Lilith standing aside looking at her sister with a smile on her face, and said softly:
"Lilith, what is your boyfriend planning to do with you?"
Lilith was stunned when she heard this, but he soon realized what Bazaar meant.
She glanced at her best friends. Everyone was obviously very concerned about this topic. She also thought that her hospital was in great need of doctors. Why not take this opportunity to try to recruit some of her classmates?
After all, female doctors in this era are naturally in a disadvantaged position in terms of employment. Rather than letting these outstanding female colleges accept beatings from society, it is better to let them go to their own hospitals and accept beatings from themselves.
In the future, it will also be convenient for her to quickly gain the right to speak in the hospital. Thinking of this, Lilith smiled slightly and said:
"He built me a very huge general hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. If you haven't found an internship unit yet, or your future workplace has not yet been confirmed, you can come to work in my hospital.
This way, we can still work together in the future. "
Hearing Lilith say that before he graduated, he already owned a large general hospital of his own, which made Bazaar, who thought she had a very good family background, couldn't help but feel envious.
You must know that most of the families in which women in this era choose to engage in medical work are more or less related to the medical career.
Basha's father is the owner of a community hospital, which is small but has a very considerable income. You must know that in European and American countries, doctors and lawyers are from high-income families, let alone the owner of a small community hospital.
Basha also learned some medical knowledge from her father since she was a child. Because he performed very well in the hospital, his father spent a lot of money to send her to school to receive more professional and systematic medical knowledge.
Because of this background, she is more aware of the huge costs required to run a hospital and the huge profits that can be obtained.
Although this hospital is in Brazil, far away from the United States, she believes that the investment required and the benefits that a large comprehensive private hospital can produce are huge.
This all shows the strength of Lilith's boyfriend, not to mention that the other party can own such a huge manor in the Hudson Valley and be friends with such a big shot as General Marshall. It goes without saying that one can understand that the other party's strength must be Very huge.
As for Lilith's invitation, she definitely couldn't go there. After all, her community hospital still needed her help.
While lamenting the luck of Lilith, an Italian girl, I also had to deeply envy her for having such an excellent boyfriend.
Several other students around her have already taken the initiative to respond to Lilith's invitation. After all, after meeting Fang Lang's parents in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and visiting a hospital under construction, Lilith had already begun to consciously search for a hospital suitable for her. of talent.
Except for Bazaar, who has always been a very good friend, the other people invited to this banquet are all the technical backbones that he wants to invite in the future.
This group of beautiful girls gathered together to chat and discuss, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. Some young talents who came to the party with their parents all looked sideways after seeing this situation.
The girls did not deliberately hide during the discussion, so people standing nearby could hear their discussion clearly.
The young people who had been stunned by the appearance of Lilith and Vivian suddenly had their eyes lit up, and they all looked at Vivian, who had blond hair.
This beautiful girl is the sister-in-law of the owner of the manor. If anyone can win the heart of this girl, does it mean that they can hook up with Fang Lang and enter a higher-level circle.
If you can finally win the beauty, does it mean that you can become the brother-in-law of the boss of Universal Group? With this relationship, are you still afraid that your career will not develop quickly?
What's more, this blonde girl is already beautiful and has an unreasonably hot figure. How could anyone refuse such a girl?
Therefore, soon several promising young people with high self-esteem took the initiative to squeeze into the crowd and began to politely show their courtesy to Vivian.
"This beautiful lady, I am Charlie Cole from the Cole family. It is an honor to meet such a beautiful lady like you."
Vivian, who had been discussing with her best friends, suddenly heard a male voice coming from behind, which startled her. She turned around and saw a tall, handsome man with a face full of laughter. Look at yourself with a smile.
The man looked to be under thirty years old and had a very gentlemanly temperament. However, Vivian just nodded to him and responded politely:
"Hello!"
Then he ignored her and continued to discuss with his best friend while laughing.
The man who called himself Charlie Cole did not expect that he would be so ignored, and felt angry in his heart. However, seeing Vivian's delicate face, he suppressed his anger and stood aside quietly to watch. Looking at these Vivian, waiting for the next opportunity to speak.
Originally, with his temper, he was absolutely unwilling to attend this banquet, but his father, Richard Cole, believed that this was a rare opportunity for communication and forced him to attend.
But he didn't expect to see a girl that he was very attracted to today, namely Vivian. This made him like a male dog in heat, and he squeezed his way into the group of girls without hesitation.
This Charlie Cole was the maternal nephew of General Clark’s wife, that is, the cousin of John Clark. As one of the important suppliers in global trade, the Cole family is of course one of the guests invited to the banquet.
The original Charlie Cole also criticized his Cole Industries for taking huge risks and providing pharmaceutical equipment to Fang Lang's factory. However, with the deepening of cooperation with Global Trading, the current Global Trading has become Cole. One of the most important partners of industry.
Especially after the Nice Company was acquired by Fangyuan Group, it started the construction of a large-scale fertilizer factory. This was a very huge business order, which directly made Cole Industrial a lot of money.
The entire Cole industry has been developing rapidly, so Richard Cole, as the chairman of the company, naturally attaches great importance to this banquet and has a very strong request that Charlie Cole must attend this banquet.
