The moment Audrey Hepburn knew Fang Lang's identity, she was already prepared to be kept as a concubine. This was what her mother had told her.
But now it seems that Fang Lang obviously has no intention of hiding her at home like a canary. He is actually willing to let her continue to pursue her favorite ballet career. This makes Audrey Hepburn very happy, and she actively gives him a kiss.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Fang Lang also smiled slightly. Coming from the future, he did not object to women showing up in public. Women in this era would face some discrimination when they went out to work, but as his own woman, he would of course clear the obstacles for her.
It would be too easy for him to open a ballet training school. If possible, building an opera house in São Paulo as a local landmark building would also be his support for the local government. This would not be a big deal for him at all.
"As long as you like it, I hope you can be happy forever when you are with me. If you have any ideas in your heart, just tell me. I will never refuse if I can do it."
After happily accepting the other's kiss, Fang Lang took her into his arms. Lilith and Vivian were still studying, and it turned out that he was also forced to accept a life like being single.
But since Audrey Hepburn chose to follow him directly to Brazil, he has lived a life of luxury every day, which made him feel like a king who no longer attends court early in the morning.
Therefore, he was naturally very fond of Audrey Hepburn who was with him every day.
"I'm already very happy to be with you every day! But I wonder how mom is doing in the Netherlands?"
...
...
Fang Lang tightened his arms when he heard this. Audrey Hepburn, who had always lived with her mother, was separated from her mother by such a long distance for the first time. She didn't know when they would meet again, so it was normal for her to miss her. All Fang Lang could do was to give her enough sense of security, let her live happily every day, and take good care of her mother.
"Don't worry! I have asked my company in the United States to open a branch in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In addition to business matters, the most important thing for them is to help me take good care of my mother-in-law.
A week ago, my mother moved into the farm I bought for her in Arnhem. I have assigned someone to manage the farm. She only needs to chat with the neighbors every day, have afternoon tea, and make friends. "
Audrey certainly knew that her mother was living in the Netherlands, but she did not expect that Fang Lang would arrange for his company in the United States to open a branch in the Netherlands.
In her opinion, this was all Fang Lang's arrangement to make up for the fact that she couldn't be there to take care of her mother. So, she was deeply moved.
"I know. My mother sent me a telegram saying that she was living very happily in the Netherlands. She had more than 500 dairy cows on her farm, which produced 25 kilograms of milk every day. Every day, people from the milk company would come to collect the milk.
The farm was able to generate profits almost as soon as she took it over, and she feels that her life is very good now.
All of this is brought to us by you, my dear, you are so kind to me, I don’t know how to thank you. "
Rubbing the other person's head, Fang Lang said lovingly:
"You are my love, isn't it my responsibility to take care of your parents? Why are you thanking me? I should also thank my mother for sending an angel like you to my side!"
Listening to her lover's sweet words, Audrey Hepburn's longing for her mother was diluted a lot. Knowing that her mother is living a good life now, she can also happily accompany her lover. She is really satisfied with such a life.
"But, in order to take care of Mom, would it be a bad idea to let your company open a branch in the Netherlands? After all, a company needs to make a profit. The economic environment in the Netherlands is very bad right now. If the company loses money, it will be a huge loss."
Fang Lang heard this, smiled and kissed Audrey on the cheek, and said lovingly:
“The current bad economic environment in the Netherlands does not mean that it will be bad in the future. The Arnhem region where my mother is located was the main battlefield of the Allied Operation City Garden, and the infrastructure was severely damaged. That’s why my mother is worried that I will suffer losses if I open a branch in the Netherlands.
But in fact, the damage in many other areas of the Netherlands was not serious, and there are opportunities for economic development. Now my American branch has invested in a dairy company in the Netherlands called FrieslandCampina, which makes full use of local pasture resources in the Netherlands and specializes in processing dairy products.
The milk, formula milk, cheese, butter and other products produced by the company have a very good market in Europe, and the milk from your mother's farm is also supplied to this company. When it comes to doing business, we must trust professionals.
I didn’t set up a branch in the Netherlands just to take care of your mother. If that were the case, I might as well find a housekeeper for your mother to take care of her life. What do you think? "
After Fang Lang learned that Audrey's mother was a Dutch noble, he began to think about entering the Dutch market. You know, the Netherlands is a developed country in later generations and it still has great potential for economic development.
The first company they invested in was just a dairy company, but it developed very smoothly. The infant formula brand Friso under this company later became one of the top ten brands in the Netherlands, only slightly inferior to Royal Dutch Shell and Philips.
When Audrey Hepburn heard that Fang Lang opened a branch in the Netherlands not simply to take care of her mother, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"If that's the case, it would be great. I don't know when we will have the chance to visit my mother in the Netherlands. I don't know what the house environment on the ranch is like. I have always wanted to decorate my home into a garden.
I don’t know if my mother will plant flowers and plants around the house.”
Fang Lang saw Audrey's look, smiled and kissed him before saying:
"If you want, you can plant flowers around my house in the naval base! It would be very happy if I could smell the fragrance of flowers every day when I come home!"
"Is it really possible?"
"Of course! If you have time, you can not only plant flowers and plants, but also raise a small pet. This way I don't have to worry about you being bored here."
Audrey Hepburn followed Fang Lang to Brazil, a place where she was unfamiliar with the place. Fang Lang was actually very worried that she would not be able to adapt, so he wanted to find more work for her to do so that she would not feel bored.
And work is just a way to pass the time. Maybe Audrey Hepburn won’t feel bored until Lilith and Vivian arrive in Brazil!
“Hehe… honey! You’re so nice to me, but you don’t have to worry about me getting bored here. Yesterday, Mrs. De La Torre from the neighbor’s house made an appointment with me to go shopping in Natal with me tomorrow.
By the way, they will introduce me to some friends, who seem to be the wives of your fleet officers. One of them, Mrs. Heydrich, seems to be planning to hold a salon for me at their home. "
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang realized that, without him noticing, a group of officers' wives had formed in the officers' villa area of his Natal Naval Base. However, he had always been single and no woman had lived in his house permanently, so these officers' wives had no chance to become wives.
Now, the appearance of Audrey Hepburn obviously gave these women an opportunity to open up the wife route. Therefore, these women began to eagerly invite Audrey Hepburn to join their team.
Fang Lang certainly had no objection to this. Madam diplomacy was also a means to win over the hearts of his subordinates. However, the intrigues among women could sometimes be very troublesome. Looking at the young girl in front of him, he was very worried about whether she could adapt to such an atmosphere.
However, as Fang Lang's woman, he was not worried that Audrey Hepburn would be bullied. After all, his status was here, needless to say, as long as Audrey Hepburn joined, he would naturally be the most important figure in this group of wives, and everyone would definitely try every means to curry favor with her.
"Well! That's good. I really overlooked this aspect before. Now that you are here, you will be responsible for communicating with these ladies!
They are all the wives of my subordinates. When you interact with them, you should also pay attention to the overall situation and not deliberately create conflicts. If conflicts arise among them, you should try your best to reconcile them.
Let the men hear women complaining after work and when they get home. "
As Audrey Hepburn was born into an aristocratic family, she had a natural sensitivity to these things. As soon as Fang Lang explained the situation, she understood what Fang Lang meant.
This was to ask her to come forward to maintain the relationship between the wives of the officers. She was very clear about her position and looked at Fang Lang with some concern.
"But, shouldn't these things be left to Sister Lilith? After all, she is the real eldest sister of the Fang family."
Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly realized what Audrey Hepburn meant. It seemed that the girl was worried that her appearance would damage the status of Lilith and Vivian.
"Don't worry! Lilith is the eldest sister in the family, but she is a doctor and is very busy at work. She may not have time to take care of these things. Does Vivian have any experience in this area?
It is most appropriate to leave these matters to you. I will explain everything to them when the time comes, so you don’t have to worry.”
Audrey Hepburn heard this, pondered for a while, then slowly nodded and said:
"Okay then! I'll be the first one to deal with the ladies. After Sister Lilith and Sister Vivian arrive in Brazil, I'll let them join in. If any of them are interested in communicating with the ladies, they'll be in charge.
If they are unwilling, I will continue to be responsible!"
Fang Lang heard what Audrey Hepburn said and understood that she was being modest and did not want to cause internal conflicts among Fang Lang's wives because of this matter. Seeing this, he could only smile slightly, hook Audrey's nose with his hand and said:
"Okay! You can discuss these matters among yourselves when the time comes. I hope you can maintain a consistent attitude toward the outside world and not have any conflicts over this."
Audrey nodded obediently and said:
"Well! Don't worry, dear! I am the third sister, and I will definitely respect my two elder sisters. I will never let any conflicts arise in the family.
Also, can you see if I can find some time to go to America to see my elder sister? I have been here for so long, but I haven’t visited my elder sister yet, which seems a bit inappropriate.”
This surprised Fang Lang. He had never thought that Audrey Hepburn would have such thoughts. This was completely different from Fang Lang's impression of Western women. Instead, it gave him the feeling of the three obediences and four virtues of Eastern women.
It was unknown whether these were taught by Audrey's mother or whether she learned Chinese cultural customs on her own. In any case, Fang Lang felt very happy when he heard this. After all, he didn't want a fire in his backyard, and if possible, he hoped that the three women could live with him.
But he doesn't want to buy a house for each of them and take turns living there. Although this would make many men envious, he would also find it very tiring.
"Well! You can handle these things on your own. If you want to go to the United States, I will arrange a special plane for you.
Lilith will be very happy that you are so sensible."
Just when Fang Lang wanted to continue staying on the beach with Audrey Hepburn for a while longer, Fang Lang noticed that Qi Qingshan and Syrio Reci from the Second Section of the Logistics Department were standing in the distance, and they seemed to have something to talk to him about.
After a brief thought, he glanced at the girl in his arms apologetically and said:
"Someone is looking for me over there. It looks like there's something I need to deal with. I'll go over there first."
Audrey Hepburn in his arms also obviously noticed the two officers standing in the distance. Hearing this, she nodded, gave Fang Lang a kiss and said:
"Well! Then you go ahead and do your work. I will take a plane to the United States to visit my eldest sister after attending the salon hosted by Mrs. Heydrich tomorrow."
Seeing Audrey being so sensible, Fang Lang smiled and scratched her nose again and said:
"Okay! I'll arrange a special plane to deliver the gift then."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the two people on the beach in the distance.
"boss!"
Qi Qingshan and Sirio Regis saw Fang Lang coming and hurriedly stepped forward to stand at attention and saluted. Fang Lang smiled and casually returned the salute and said:
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Fang Lang's question, Sirio Regis glanced at Qi Qingshan beside him. Seeing this, Qi Qingshan directly said to the two of them:
"Boss, I have something else to deal with, so I'll be busy now!"
Hearing this, Fang Lang looked at Sirio Reci with some surprise. He didn't expect that Qi Qingshan would avoid him when he came to see him today.
However, he did not say much. Qi Qingshan was indeed one of the people he trusted most, but as his intelligence chief, Sirio Reci had his own judgment. However, when he believed that the other party needed to avoid the news, there must be some intention behind it.
Moreover, Fang Lang didn't want Qi Qingshan to know everything.
Fang Lang was very satisfied with Qi Qingshan's tactfulness. When the other party took the initiative to leave, Fang Lang nodded.
After Qi Qingshan walked away, Sirio Regis looked around and confirmed that there was no one else around before he lowered his voice and said:
“Boss, last time, because of the collusion between Colonel Marcelino Orlando and the Labor Party, you asked us to arrange for someone to infiltrate Mr. Vargas, the chairman of the Labor Party.
Now our people have obtained some unexpected intelligence and need to report it to you!"
