Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 53

  Chapter 53 Visit

   "Sir! Here we are, this is the address you provided." Under the dim light, the taxi stopped outside a small villa on the outskirts of New York.

   "Okay, thank you! You don't need to look for the rest, it's your tip!" Fang Lang got off the taxi, holding a large box of Chinatown's special pastries in his hand. He went straight to the door of the villa and knocked on the door.

   "Excuse me, is Mrs. Clark at home?"

  The lights were on in the house, and Fang Lang knew someone was at home. In fact, it is not polite to come to visit others so late, but Fang Lang has to study at school during the day, and the time is tight and the tasks are heavy. There is really no way to come out to visit during the day, so he can only take the liberty of visiting at night.

Fortunately, after Commodore Jackson suggested that Fang Lang visit John's mother, Fang Lang sent a telegram to John, who was serving in the Pacific Fleet. Unexpectedly, he got a response soon. After learning about Fang Lang's needs, John directly expressed I will send a telegram to my mother first, and let Fang Lang visit directly.

  Before departure, Wan Chongxin also gave the news again that he had not found a supplier of penicillin production equipment, which forced Fang Lang to transfer his hope to Mrs. Clark's family's machinery factory.

   Soon a young girl in her early twenties opened the door, looked at Fang Lang at the door and said:

"who are you looking for!"

   Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Lang knew that he had found the right place, because the girl's facial features were somewhat similar to John's. Fang Lang smiled politely and said:

   "Hello! I am John's comrade-in-arms, and my name is Fang Lang. I don't know if John has told you."

   "Ah! You are finally here. Mom and I have been waiting for you for a day. My brother sent a telegram to the family. We thought you would come during the day!"

  Sofia Clark happily let the door open, pointed to the room with her finger, and signaled Fang Lang to come in.

  The girl's words made Fang Lang a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that they would wait for his arrival at home.

   "I'm really sorry, because I'm currently studying in a short-term training class at West Point Military Academy, so I have to participate in the study during the day, and I only have time to visit at night!"

   While talking, he walked into the room. The room is not big, and it is a typical American villa style. Mrs. Clark, who was in the house, also came out with a smile on her face. After hearing Fang Lang's words, he smiled and said:

   "It's okay, Fang. John told us that you are his savior. Come in and sit inside. It's cold outside."

   Fang Lang saw that there were only two women at home, so it seemed inappropriate for him to come so late, and he was a bit miscalculated! This made Fang Lang a little embarrassed. Hastily opened the mouth and said:

   "Mrs. Clark is really very sorry. I should have come to visit you earlier. I am sorry for waiting so long. I brought some snacks from our Chinese. I hope you like them."

  Seeing Fang Lang's embarrassed expression, Mrs. Clark smiled, took the gift box Fang Lang handed over, and motioned Fang Lang to sit on the sofa in the living room.

   "Sophia pours Fang a cup of coffee! Fang, have you had dinner yet? I'm going to make you something to eat now."

  Fang Lang waved his hands again and again, "Mrs. Clark, I have already eaten at school, and a sip of hot coffee is good."

  The more Fang Lang thinks about it, the more he feels that this visit is very rude, but since he has already arrived, it is not good to just turn around and leave!

   "Fang, don't be restrained, John said you need my help with something?"

   Hearing Mrs. Clark's direct question, Fang Lang also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he has come, there is nothing to be hypocritical about, so he said frankly:

   "Yes, Mrs. Clark, I heard from Brigadier General Jackson that your family has the means to obtain penicillin production equipment and production technology?"

  Ms. Clark is obviously a housewife who does not participate in her natal business, but she has also heard of penicillin, an anti-inflammatory medicine.

   "Penicillin! This new drug is not lacking in the US market now!"

   "Yes, Mrs. Clark, mainly my family wants to invest in a factory in Brazil to produce this drug."

   Hearing that Fang Lang's family wanted to build a factory in Brazil, it was also a business, and it was just a matter of effort for him, so Mrs. Clark said without hesitation:

"How about this! You sit here for a while, I'll go up and make a call and ask my brother. My father's factory is now managed by my brother, and I don't know the situation very well. But since Jackson asked you to come and find Me, that shouldn't be a problem."

  Fang Lang was no longer polite, and said directly:

   "Okay, thank you Mrs. Clark."

  Mrs. Clark nodded and walked up to the second floor.

  At this time, Sophia Clark was walking out with a cup of coffee and said:

   "Hey! Are you calling Fang? I heard from John that you saved his life on the battlefield. Is that true?"

Sophia is a typical big American girl. She is about 1.7 meters tall and has exquisite curves. Because she is of mixed race, her face shape is not the sharp-edged type that is common in Europe and the United States. Instead, she has an Asian softness. Her skin is a healthy wheat color, which fits her very well. Fang Lang's aesthetics.

   "Yes, it's actually nothing, we are comrades in arms, and if he encounters this situation on the battlefield, he will save me!"

   After all, Fang Lang is still the cause of the humble character of the Chinese people, and he doesn't want to give people the feeling of repaying favors, so he expressed it very plainly.

  It's a pity that Sophia didn't want to let him go so easily, she just sat down beside him and said:

"Quick, quick, tell me what happened at that time, John didn't make it clear, he is my brother, I know him very well, if it wasn't true, he wouldn't have sent a special telegram to ask my mother to help you! "

"Okay! In fact, what happened is also very simple. At that time, we were attacking the positions defended by the Germans. John's leg was hit by a stray bullet and fell in the trench. When I passed by him, I heard the Germans Hearing the roar of the approaching artillery shells, he rushed over when he felt something was wrong, dragging him out of the trench.

  As soon as we came out, the cannonball just hit the place where your brother was lying. Because I was standing, I was directly blown away by the shock wave of the cannonball for more than ten meters, and I didn't know anything when I landed! When I woke up, it was already more than ten days later. Just lying in the hospital with your brother. "

  Although Fang Lang said it very easily, the situation at the time must have been very thrilling, and Fang Lang was directly thrown more than ten meters away by a shell because he saved John. If it wasn't for his fate, he would have died early.

  Sophia opened her mouth so wide that a fist could fit in it, and her face turned pale. Obviously frightened by the scene Fang Lang said.

   "My God! The war is really terrible. I don't know when this **** war will end. I really hope that John will go home as soon as possible, and I don't want him to experience such a horrible thing again."

   Seeing Sophia's expression and face, Fang Lang thought he would have known that he would not have said it, and his relatives would not hear such exciting news. Fortunately, I didn't tell my family about the scene when I went home, otherwise my mother would probably be scared to cry.

   "It's all right now. He works in the naval logistics department. He doesn't need to rush to the front line anymore. There is nothing dangerous. Don't worry!"

Of course, Sophia knows about John's current job, but thinking of her brother's experience at that time, she still has lingering fears and said: "Fang, brother is right, you are his savior, without you, brother must be dead Saved! Thank you! If it weren't for you, I would have lost John forever."

  Fang Lang felt at ease about Sophia's gratitude. After all, the original body did sacrifice his life to save John's life.

   "It's okay, things are over, we all have to look forward, don't we? Both of us are living well now."

  American women in this era are not as open as later generations. Although the women's liberation movement has begun to emerge, most women are still relatively conservative, so Fang Lang originally wanted to give Sophia a hug to comfort her. Thinking about it, I still didn't open my arms.

   "Yeah! You all have to be good. By the way, why did you come to New York to study! Aren't you the Brazilian Expeditionary Force?"

  The mood of the American girl came and went quickly, and in a blink of an eye the topic turned to Fang Lang, which made Fang Lang, who was about to comfort Sophia, a little bit wrong.

"Uh! Well! It's a long story. Because of my injuries, I always fainted suddenly for no reason. Therefore, after the military doctor judged that I was not suitable for continuing to serve in the army, I was transferred to work on the navy's transport ship. It is also equivalent to switching to logistics. Some time ago, Brazil and the United States reached an agreement to train a group of new captains, and I was selected to participate in the training."
