Both of them were military men and knew each other's situation very well, but neither of them addressed the other by his military rank, but called him Mr. Fang Lang's purpose was to bring himself to an equal position with the other party for a conversation.
After all, the other party is a retired five-star general of the United States and a major officer of the Allied Forces during World War II. Logically, he is just a soldier under his command. When he sees him, he should salute him and obey his command.
But in the current situation, if I salute the other party, it will obviously not be conducive to the subsequent conversation between me 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 shrewd man. He was obviously very clear about Fang Lang's intentions. However, he did not care about it and responded directly to Fang Lang's address.
This means that he had never thought of using his original identity to suppress Fang Lang.
Therefore, he smiled and nodded at Fang Lang without hesitation, and said something in Chinese that surprised Fang Lang:
"That is what I really want, but I dare not ask for it."
Fang Lang, who was already very surprised to hear the other party communicating with him in Chinese, opened his mouth slightly in surprise, but he quickly reacted, stretched out his hand to the other party, made a gesture of invitation and said:
...
...
"Mr. Marshall please!"
General Marshall also directly stretched out his hand to Fang Lang and said:
"Mr. Fang, please!"
If it weren't for the other person's white skin, Fang Lang would have doubted whether the other person was someone from his hometown. Surprisingly, he knew Chinese etiquette so well and used it so skillfully.
Under the gaze of the guests attending the banquet, the few people slowly left the banquet hall and walked towards the place where Fang Lang had just come out.
Because General Marshall did not bring any female relatives with him, Fang Lang did not introduce his two girlfriends to him. This would seem like showing off, and showing off that he had two beautiful girlfriends in front of a five-star American general would make Fang Lang feel childish.
Lilith and Vivian saw that General Marshall came alone. Fang Lang did not introduce them to General Marshall. They whispered to Fang Lang for a while and then left together.
They walked towards the friends they had invited to the party. Europeans and Americans were very keen on attending such parties, but Lilith didn't have many friends in the United States, most of them were classmates from the same school.
Vivian came from her school in France to attend the party, and the ones who came with her were a few of her very close friends.
But when these friends saw the two of them walking out together beside Fang Lang, they were already extremely surprised and were discussing what kind of relationship they had.
Now when everyone saw the two people coming over, they all greeted them warmly. Their group of girlfriends quickly surrounded them and started chattering and asking about their situation.
Of course, the two of them would not directly introduce the special situation of two women sharing one husband. They had already reached a consensus on this point. Fang Lang's external identity was Lilith's man, and Vivian was Lilith's biological sister.
The two sisters have a very good relationship, so Vivian always appears by their side.
Although this explanation may be a bit unfair to Vivian, it was Vivian's initiative. After all, it is closer to the truth.
After hearing this explanation, everyone put aside their doubts.
Among them, Lilith's best friend at Radcliffe College had indeed anticipated this. After all, she was the only one who had seen Fang Lang at the school gate, and she was very clear about the relationship between Fang Lang and Lilith.
He had no doubts about the relationship between the two. What he cared 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 that old gentleman just now. Is he General Marshall, our five-star general in the United States?"
Lilith certainly had nothing to hide about this matter, which was known to everyone, and she felt very proud deep down that her boyfriend was able to date such a big shot.
But at this time, although he was very proud, he pretended to be reserved and nodded slightly:
"Yes."
When Basha heard Lilith's affirmative answer, she almost screamed out loud. She covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from screaming, but she couldn't suppress her excitement and jumped unconsciously.
Then he slowly controlled his emotions, and with a flushed face, he said excitedly to Lilith:
"Wow! Who is your boyfriend? Why does he know such an important person as General Marshall?"
Lilith was indeed stunned when she heard this. She was of course very familiar with Fang Lang's identity. After all, when they met, Fang Lang was just an injured soldier.
From a nobody to today's success, Lilith saw it all. Her family also underwent a huge change because of Fang Lang's appearance.
Moreover, Fang Lang was always open and honest with her, never hiding anything, so Lilith knew Fang Lang's situation very well.
But he also understood that his identity as a man was still somewhat sensitive in some ways, so it would be better not to let too many people know. From the fact that Fang Lang did not personally show up at the banquet, Lilith could understand the mystery.
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he smiled and slowly said:
"Because my boyfriend himself is an incredible person!"
This answer was basically equivalent to no answer, and Basha was obviously not satisfied with it. Immersed in excitement, she did not feel the feelings that Lilith did not want to reveal.
Instead, she pursed her lips, hugged Lilith's arm coquettishly and said:
"What kind of answer is that! Of course I know your boyfriend is a big shot, but what kind of big shot is he?"
Hearing Basha's question, Lilith frowned slightly and was a little displeased, but after all, she was her best friend and was invited by her to attend the banquet, so she couldn't just refuse to answer.
At this time, Vivian, who had been talking to her best friend nearby, seemed to sense Lilith's embarrassment and interrupted directly:
"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 Basha could continue asking, several of Vivian's best friends had already squeezed in and shouted:
"Wow! Vivian, your brother-in-law is really amazing. With such a large estate, he must be a big capitalist!"
Weiwei 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 the construction of the factory has begun. All my clothing designs can be turned into real products directly in the factory.
Hahahaha... why don't you come over here and hold my thighs tightly, and wait for me to take you flying in the future."
Most of the friends who came with Vivian were her classmates, also students studying fashion design in France. France had just experienced the ravages of war.
All industries are declining and need to be rebuilt. People's food and clothing problems have not been solved. It is actually not easy for fashion designers like them to find jobs.
Vivian's words were obviously well-targeted, with a very clear purpose, which was to recruit her classmates to work for her new company.
After hearing Vivian's words, all the classmates became excited and gathered around Vivian and said:
"Really? Vivian, this is great. Remember to bring me along when the time comes. You really have a good brother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Vivian smiled slightly, blinked at Lilith and said:
"Of course. I am my sister's only sister. If my brother-in-law doesn't treat me well, who else can he treat well?"
Basha, who had been standing aside without saying anything, heard this and saw Lilith standing aside and looking at her sister with a smile on her face, and said softly:
"Lilith, what does your boyfriend plan to do with you?"
Lilith was stunned when she heard this, but she quickly realized what Basha meant.
She glanced at her girlfriends around her. It was obvious that everyone was 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 employment. Instead of letting these outstanding female doctors accept the beatings from society, it is better to let them go to their own hospitals and accept their own beatings.
In the future, it will also be convenient for me to quickly gain the right to speak in the hospital. Thinking of this, Lilith smiled and said:
"He built a huge comprehensive hospital for me in Sao Paulo, Brazil. If you haven't found an internship unit yet, or haven't found a future job, you can come to work in my hospital.
This way, we can still work together in the future.”
When Basha heard Lilith say that he already owned a large comprehensive hospital before graduating, she couldn't help but feel envious even though she thought she came from a well-off family.
You have to know that most of the women of this era who choose to work in the medical field come from families that have more or less connection with the medical profession.
Basha's father is the owner of a community hospital. Although the hospital is not large, the income is very considerable. You should know that in Europe and the United States, doctors and lawyers come 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 she performed very well in the hospital, her 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 the hospital is located in Brazil, far away from the United States, she believes that the investment required and the benefits that can be generated by a large comprehensive private hospital are enormous.
All of this shows the strength of Lilith's boyfriend. Moreover, he owns such a huge manor in the Hudson River Valley and is on good terms with big men like General Marshall. Needless to say, it is clear that his strength must be enormous.
As for Lilith's invitation, she definitely couldn't go, after all, her community hospital still needed her help.
While lamenting the luck of Lilith, the Italian girl, I can't help but deeply envy her for having such an outstanding boyfriend.
Several other classmates around have already responded to Lilith's invitation. After all, after Lilith met Fang Lang's parents in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and visited the hospital under construction, she had already begun to consciously look for talents suitable for her hospital.
In addition to Basha, who has always been a very good friend, the others invited to this banquet are all technical backbones whom he wants to invite in the future.
This group of beautiful girls gathered together and chattered, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. Some young talents who came to the party with their parents looked sideways after seeing this situation.
The girls did not try to avoid the conversation on purpose, so people standing nearby could hear their discussion clearly.
The young people, who were already stunned by the appearance of Lilith and Vivian, suddenly had their eyes lit up and all looked at the blonde Vivian.
This beautiful girl is the sister-in-law of the owner of the manor. If anyone can win the heart of this girl, it means that he can get in touch with Fang Lang and enter a more advanced circle.
If he could finally win the beauty's heart, would it mean that he could become the brother-in-law of the boss of Universal Group? With this relationship, would he still be afraid that his career would not be able to develop rapidly?
What's more, this blonde girl is already very beautiful and has an unreasonably hot body. How could anyone resist such a girl?
Therefore, several promising young men who thought highly of themselves soon took the initiative to squeeze into the crowd and began to politely show their courtesy to Vivian.
"My 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 girlfriends, suddenly heard a male voice behind her, which scared her. She turned around and saw a tall and handsome man looking at her with a smile on his face.
The man looked less than 30 years old and had a very gentlemanly temperament. However, Vivian just nodded to him and responded politely:
"Hello!"
Then she ignored it and turned back to continue laughing and discussing with her best friend.
The man who called himself Charlie Cole didn't expect that he would be ignored like this. He felt angry, but when he saw Vivian's delicate face, he suppressed his anger and stood quietly by the side, watching Vivian, waiting for the next opportunity to speak.
With his temper, he was absolutely unwilling to attend the banquet, but his father Richard Cole thought it was a rare opportunity for communication and forced him to attend.
But he didn't expect to meet a girl who made him very excited today, that is, Vivian. This made him like a lusty male dog, and he squeezed into the group of girls without hesitation.
This Charlie Cole is the nephew of General Clark's wife, and the cousin of John Clark. As one of the important suppliers of global trade, the Cole family was of course one of the guests invited to the banquet.
The original Charlie Cole was quite dissatisfied with the fact that his own Cole Industries took huge risks in providing pharmaceutical equipment to Fang Lang's factory. However, with the deepening of cooperation with Global Trade, Global Trade has now become one of the most important partners of Cole Industries.
Especially after Nice Company was acquired by Fangyuan Group, it started the construction of a large-scale fertilizer plant. This was a very large business order that directly made Cole Industries earn a lot of money.
The entire Cole Industries developed rapidly, so Richard Cole, as the chairman of the company, naturally attached great importance to this banquet and strongly demanded that Charlie Cole must attend the banquet.
