Chapter 171 The Overlord Insists on Using Me as Bai Yueguang’s Stand-in (59)
[Growth, Act 1901: , Luochuan, Country Z]
John: "I really can't stand the weather in Country Z. In the past month, there has been no day without fog. General, General? What are you looking at?"
Ferran looked away.
"No, just curious."
He just saw a woman from Country Z walking across the bridge holding an umbrella, and instantly she attracted his full attention.
Her beauty is like a typical oriental painting, unfolding in the clouds.
But she disappeared so quickly that he didn't even have time to find her.
John: "Let's go, General. We have to rush to attend the banquet hosted by Mr. Smith. He is the earliest businessman to do business in Country Z. Tonight's event is a formal diplomatic occasion, and we cannot be late."
At the banquet, businessmen from different countries exchanged pleasantries with each other, but when it came to the market in Country Z, no one was willing to give in, and the harmonious atmosphere just now was completely gone.
"Mr. Smith, we have no intention of engaging in any commercial war with you. Our light industry is just like yours and cannot occupy the market of Country Z at all."
"Humph, these low-class people can't seem to recognize what high-end goods are. They only know how to buy those low-quality goods produced in Country Z."
"General Feilan, tell me, what do the people of Country Z think?"
"I'm just an officer."
"Wang Jichang came. He was probably the only Chinese businessman who was easy to talk to. Unfortunately, he didn't understand English or French."
Fei Lan was swaying the champagne in his glass in boredom. He was not suitable for such an occasion. However, as a senior military officer of Country F stationed in Country Z, he had to attend the social event.
"Hello, everyone. I am the translator hired by Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang is here to pay you a Chinese greeting. He is very happy that Mr. Smith can invite him to this banquet this time."
It's her.
Fei Lan was very sure that the translator next to Wang Jichang was the oriental woman she saw on the bridge in the afternoon, although she was wearing a western-style dress this time.
Feilan looked at the woman in front of him calmly.
She is very beautiful, with an oriental appearance that can make people stunning at first sight. She speaks the language of country F fluently and naturally, but her pronunciation is not pure enough. However, this small flaw does not affect Feilan's appreciation of her.
Fei Lan waited patiently for her to finish her work. When the banquet was almost over, he chased after her and asked in his broken Chinese, "What's your name, beautiful Oriental lady?"
"Lu Dong."
"That sounds nice. My name is Ferran Bernard, and I'm a colonel. Can I spare you a moment? I can arrange a car to take you back," Ferran switched back to French. His Chinese was limited to simple communication.
Wang Jichang smiled knowingly and left Lu Dong, leaving the two of them alone.
"What do you want to ask, Colonel Bernard?"
"I want to know what color the skirt you wore this afternoon is? I have never seen such a beautiful color."
A moment of confusion flashed across Lu Dong's face, and then he smiled with sudden realization, "It's a blue cheongsam. Blue is the color of China."
"Blue." She read it again in Chinese.
"Qing." He repeated.
"I just came to China and I want to find a Chinese guide. I wonder if you are willing to be my guide?" he asked again.
"I think I would be very happy to do that."
Early the next morning, Fei Lan drove a car made in Country F and showed up outside the yard where Lu Dong lived.
Waiting in the car was not a polite thing to do, not to mention that Feilan really wanted to see the oriental woman who appeared in his dream last night.
Feilan leaned against the car and looked up at the figure in the attic on the second floor who was dressing up. Her every move was so elegant. Different from the arrogance of a Western noble girl, her elegance carried the typical gentle temperament of an Eastern girl. She was just combing her hair in front of the mirror, and Feilan seemed to see the mountains and clouds of Luochuan right in front of her.
Lu Dong changed the style of her cheongsam, but the color remained blue.
"You must have waited a long time, Colonel Bernard," she said.
"I am willing to wait for you no matter how old you are. Come on, my tour guide."
The car was driving in the alley, and the bluestone road seemed not to be suitable for such a steel body, and the car body was bumpy.
"Why did you build such a small road in your country? Not only is it difficult for vehicles to pass, but the road is also uneven." Fei Lan couldn't help but complain.
"Hundreds of years ago, the people of Country Z never imagined that the ancient road that was only for horses and pedestrians could now be used by cars."
Fei Lan watched her expression, which was lazily and disdainful. Then he thought that what he was doing was also the oppression of one civilization against another.
It is not only gunfire that can invade another country.
The same is true for advanced technology and civilization.
"You sound very dissatisfied with me or the people of Country F. You think we are robbers and cruel executioners, right?" Fei Lan couldn't help but say.
Lu Dong glanced at the gun on his waist, and his lazy demeanor changed. "It seems that I don't have any chance to tell the truth."
Feilan has met many people in Country Z, and they can be roughly divided into two categories. There are those who resist without knowing their own strength. When he encounters such people, he will shoot them as a warning. If the other party does not give in, he will use his excellent shooting skills to kill the enemy. There are also those who flatter and please, with a flattering smile on their faces, but the fear in their eyes is hidden.
Lu Dong is different from any other type of person.
Feilan felt that she liked Lu Dong more like this kind of Lu Dong.
"If you are lucky, I hope you can tell me the story of Country Z." He said.
The two of them spent a week touring Luochuan.
Feilan did not hide his admiration and love for Lu Dong. He would hold her hand when climbing a mountain, put a coat on her when leaving a dance party, and even become dazed when he smelled her oriental fragrance.
Lu Dong told him about the customs and practices of Country Z. He even took the initiative to ask Lu Dong to learn Country Z's language. "You said that it took you half a year to learn F language. Why don't you guess how long it will take me to learn Country Z?"
Lu Dong shook his head instead. "You don't need to learn Country Z. People who want to communicate with you will take the initiative to learn Country F. Colonel Bernard, you are too modest compared to other Country F soldiers."
"Because I want to communicate with you, not just in F language. I like you, Miss Lu. I don't have a wife or an engagement in Country F, and I think I'm someone I can trust. When I leave Country Z, are you willing to go back to Country F with me?"
The continuous rain in Luochuan happened to fall at this time.
Feilan no longer felt that the rain was sticky, but instead felt that the raindrops jumping along the white walls and green tiles were very vivid and interesting. He felt that his heartbeat at this moment was like the rain, happy and anxious at the same time.
He couldn't help but look forward to Lu Dong's answer.
Is she as obsessed with each other as she is with him?
