Chapter 14 Beautiful Misunderstanding
In Naples, Italy, the night is getting darker, and Fang Lang, who is slightly drunk, is sitting in the living room of Lilith's house, holding the coffee made by Lilith's mother in his hand. Lilith beside her is a little restless, and Lilith's father and Mother, the two were looking at Fang Lang with the eyes of their son-in-law.
This situation made Lilith a little overwhelmed, not understanding how things could get to this point. And the younger sister behind the door also stuck out her small head to secretly observe the weird atmosphere on the dining table.
Fang Lang took a sip of coffee calmly, and said firstly, "Auntie, the coffee you make is really delicious. I hope to have the opportunity to drink such delicious coffee often in the future."
After Lilith's father heard this, his eyes froze. And Lilith's mother had already smiled and said: "Haha. Really? Just drink it if you like it, and I will come over to drink it often when I have the opportunity. I will go to the market tomorrow to see if there is any coffee supply. Buy some and save it." , waiting for you to come and drink."
Obviously Lilith's mother admired Fang Lang's calm demeanor very much. There is a meaning that the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.
And Fang Lang was taken aback after hearing Lilith's mother's answer: "Is the supply of coffee in the market very tight now?"
"That's right! I don't know when the war will end. Now the family's business has closed down, and there is a shortage of everything in the market. If this continues, everyone's life will be difficult." Lilith's mother heard Fang Lang discussed the supply of goods on the market with her, and he also started to complain directly.
Lilith's father beside him coughed dryly and said: "Cough! Cough! Why are you talking about this in front of the child. Fang Lang, I call you Fang, don't you mind!"
"Of course, uncle can call me anything." Seeing that Lilith's father was about to start speaking, Fang Lang quickly sat up straight and responded seriously.
"I see you are wearing a military uniform, are you an American soldier?" Lilith's father obviously didn't recognize Fang Lang's armband.
"Uncle, I am now a second lieutenant in the Naval Logistics Department of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and my specific job is the captain of a transport ship."
Fang Lang's answer stunned Lilith next to her and said, "Aren't you an infantryman of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force? Why did you become the captain of the Navy's transport?"
"Hehe. Thanks to John for his help, I will take the time to tell you in detail. Anyway, now I don't have to go directly to the front line to fight the Germans."
Lilith's father was obviously relieved when he heard that Fang Lang no longer had to fight the Germans on the front line. He muttered in a low voice: "That's good, that's good."
Obviously, he was worried that after being with Lilith, he died in the war or returned with missing arms and legs, which would affect his future life with Lilith. They don't know that Fang Lang and Lilith are not boyfriend and girlfriend yet! It was just a chance encounter, just happened to be seen by him. However, Fang Lang is happy to see this kind of beautiful misunderstanding.
"Auntie said just now that the family's business has closed down. I don't know what kind of business uncle is in!" Fang Lang is looking for talents who can help him manage the Italian company. If Lilith's father has such an experience, it would be perfect But that's all.
"A small business, mainly selling some imported machinery and equipment. With the outbreak of the war, the sea transportation was cut off, and the business could no longer continue. Now I can only eat at home. Therefore, your aunt will have some complaints. Hope Fang, you Don't mind." Lilith's father said with a little embarrassment.
Hearing Lilith's father's answer, Fang Lang was overjoyed. Isn't this just like someone giving you a pillow when you want to doze off? If Lilith's father becomes the boss of his Italian branch, wouldn't it be more effective for him to pursue Lilith in the future?
"Oh! Then uncle doesn't have a specific job now, does he?"
Fang Lang's words obviously made Lilith's father turn red, a little embarrassed. Fang Lang understood that this sentence was inappropriate and quickly corrected it: "I mean, I have a job here. I don't know if uncle is interested."
Several people's eyes lit up when they heard Fang Lang's words, and they all looked at Fang Lang. Lilith's mother was the first to speak: "Oh! Fang, is it true? I don't know what kind of job it is!"
"It's like this, that is, the office building not far from your house has been bought by me, and it is going to be used as the office location of our Italian branch of Global Trading Co., Ltd. I just finished the company registration procedures today, and I am looking for a What about managers who are familiar with the situation in Italy! Since uncle has experience in this field, isn't it just right?"
"Fang, is it true? Aren't you a soldier? How can you have time to do business!" Now Lilith couldn't help but wonder.
"It's because I'm a soldier that I need to find a manager to help me manage the company! I just need to manage the general direction of the company!" Seeing Fang Lang's expression of course, Lilith also felt very Makes sense.
Fang Lang turned to look at Lilith's father again and said, "Uncle, I don't know if you can come and help me. I can hire you as the Italian branch of Global Trading Company with a monthly salary of two hundred dollars plus year-end dividends. General Manager position."
Hearing that Fang Lang's monthly salary was 200 U.S. dollars, everyone's eyes lit up. Lilith's mother blurted out: "200 U.S. dollars a month, is it true? Fang, it's really 200 U.S. dollars a month ?"
To be honest, the two hundred dollars Fang Lang gave each month is definitely a proper high salary in Italy in this era, but it must be quite low compared to Fang Lang's profit, but the relationship with Lilith is not close yet. At this point, it is not clear whether Lilith's father's specific ability is qualified for this position. So Fang Lang reported this salary to Lilith's father first, and then considered increasing salary or equity incentives and dividend rewards if he was able to do the job.
"Of course, how can I joke about this kind of thing! If my uncle agrees, I can go to work tomorrow. We still have to recruit and enrich the personnel of various departments. Hurry up and set up the company's shelf. I have to go back to the army to report. "
"Fang, during the war, sea transportation is cut off, how can we survive as a trading company like this?" Lilith's father was a businessman after all, so he grasped the point right away.
"Don't worry, uncle. You also know that I am a soldier and the captain of a transport ship. Therefore, although the German submarines are hunting around, my fleet will follow the American **** fleet, which is better than ordinary freighters. It is countless times safer. This is the confidence we can develop."
Hearing that Fang Lang's transport ship could move with the American **** fleet, Lilith's father finally understood why Fang Lang dared to open a new import and export trading company at this time when all import and export businesses had ceased production .
Lilith's father glanced at the ignorant daughter sitting next to Fang Lang, with mixed feelings in his heart, knowing that if he went to work in Fang Lang's company, he would almost agree to the relationship between Lilith and Fang Lang. And his daughter still looked at Fang Lang blankly from the side without understanding anything. There is a sense of déjà vu in my heart that the cabbage that has been raised for eighteen years is exchanged for a bowl of rice by the pig next door.
However, he knew that he couldn't refuse such a job opportunity. In this special period, everyone is looking for job opportunities. If he doesn't accept this job with a monthly salary of 200 dollars, there will be a lot of people fighting for it. Even if you send your daughter there, you will also get this job.
So, after he pondered for a while, Fang Lang said: "Fang, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will work hard, and the wages you pay will definitely be worth the money."
"That's good. I'm so happy that you can come to work. With you at the helm of the company, I can go out and develop with peace of mind. I organized a transport fleet, and now I have three transport ships, running from Italy to Brazil. Uncle, take the time to do a market survey after work to find out what is the most scarce and in short supply in the Italian market, and we will ship it from Brazil."
Lilith's father was even more surprised when he heard that Fang Lang had three transport ships. He didn't expect that this hairy son-in-law had such strength, so he had to impress him. In this way, the two made an appointment. After meeting at the company's office building at 8:30 tomorrow morning, Fang Lang left Lilith's house reluctantly.
