A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 386 Long-term plan

At Malena's home, Mrs. Moore walked into the house with a plate of food and snacks, placed it next to Malena, and began to persuade her: "Ms. Malena, the master is worried that you are too sad and have a bad body, so he asked me to come and accompany you. Mr. Nino has passed away, you are still young, and you still have a father to take care of. Everything will be over."

At this moment, Malena felt most helpless. When she heard these comforting words, she seemed to have found support. She hugged Mrs. Moore and started crying.

Mrs. Moore patted her shoulder gently and said, "Cry, cry, it will be better if you cry it out."

Mrs. Moore stayed with Malena the whole afternoon.

The next day, the city held a funeral for Nino and other Syracuse soldiers who died on the front line. Malena was asked to dress up as the Virgin Mary and attend the ceremony.

The sad Malena was wearing a Madonna dress and standing on the high platform. The men in the audience cast greedy eyes at her, but she still pretended to be sad.

As soon as the ceremony ended, the men couldn't wait to gather together and discuss Malena's future.

"She is still so young, she will definitely find someone else to rely on immediately."

"That's right. Now that she has no man, she can flirt with other men openly."

"Dentist Kasimalu has been obsessed with her for a long time. When he saw Malena passing by before, he actually pulled out a patient's good tooth as a bad tooth. What an unlucky guy."

"Oh, do you think that dentist will climb into Malena's bed?"

"The dentist is old and ugly. He can't fill the void that Malena feels. Malena should find someone young and handsome like me."

"Hahaha……"

On the other side, the women were also talking: "We've heard that Malena is the dentist's lover. Now she can hook up with the dentist openly."

"Oh, she is really shameless. The dentist is obviously a married man."

At this time, Malena had more or less heard some bad comments from others, but she had no ability to resist these rumors. She could only hide at home alone, grieving and crying silently.

At this time, on the beach opposite Malena's house, a group of men were wandering like hyenas, some pretending to read newspapers, some staring directly at the door of Malena's house, waiting for Malena to appear.

It was not until the evening that those greedy men gradually dispersed or were taken away by their own women.

At Lu Cheng's house, Mrs. Moore put the prepared dinner on the table and then reported, "Sir, Ms. Malena only ate half of her breakfast, but she ate all of her lunch. She should be cleaning the house now. Should we send her dinner?"

"Send it over. Invite her to come over and sit down with you."

After dinner, Malena really came to Lu Cheng's yard.

"Ms. Marlena, I'm not very good at saying words of comfort. But maybe we can use music to heal the wounds of the soul."

After saying that, Lu Cheng picked up the metal flute and the song "Nameless" followed.

The ethereal and ethereal melody has the power to heal people's hearts, as if it can make people forget all their sorrows and quietly listen to the natural sounds from nature.

Malena's mood relaxed all of a sudden. She listened quietly to the beautiful music, gradually emptying her mind and no longer thinking about those sad things.

When the song ended, Mrs. Moore brought over a bottle of red wine and two glasses.

"Malena, life is actually very long, and your life has just begun. Sad days will always pass, and the sun will rise again tomorrow. Don't dwell too much on the past, and start facing a new day."

"Thank you, Lu. I troubled you and Mrs. Moore to take care of me these two days. I am much better now."

"Don't be so polite to me. We are best friends, aren't we? I can lend you my shoulder if you need it."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng patted his broad shoulders.

Seeing this, Malena's mood suddenly improved a lot. When she looked up at Lu Cheng, her heart was filled with warmth and touching, and her eyes became softer.

"Lu, thank you so much."

"You don't have to be so polite. As for life problems, you don't have to worry too much. I'm here and I'll never let you go hungry."

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"You don't have to do anything. Just take a good rest at home and adjust your mentality."

"Um, okay, thank you."

After comforting her for a while, Lu Cheng sent Malena away.

In the next two or three days, Malena came to Lu Cheng's house every day to help Mrs. Moore with cooking and cleaning, and her mood became better and better.

At the same time, Lu Cheng expanded the scale of the factory again and launched new products, including various perfumes for men and women, and skin care products such as water, lotion, cream, etc. for women.

Perfume, in particular, is an indispensable daily necessity for Western women.

The sweat glands of the human body are divided into apocrine glands and eccrine glands. Eccrine glands refer to the pores distributed in most parts of the body, while apocrine glands generally refer to the pores under the armpits and crotch. The secretions of eccrine glands are more diluted and have a lighter odor. The secretions of apocrine glands have a stronger odor.

During the process of human evolution, the secretion of the apocrine sweat glands of Oriental people has gradually decreased, resulting in most Oriental people having no body odor.

Westerners have more apocrine secretions, so most people have body odor, which is why they need to use perfume to cover up their body odor.

Not only Western women, but also Western men like to wear perfume. On the one hand, they use perfume to cover up their body odor, and on the other hand, they use the special fragrance of perfume to express their charm.

Some brands of perfume may even contain aphrodisiac ingredients.

As a senior biologist, medical scientist, and professional in the daily chemical industry, Lu Cheng has already made meticulous research on the human body, so it is easy for him to come up with several sets of perfumes.

With lipstick as a foundation, subsequent products such as perfumes, lotions, creams, etc. were quickly recognized by the market and began to be widely promoted and sold.

The profits of these products were dozens or hundreds of times higher, faster than robbing money, and brought Lu Cheng huge profits in a short period of time.

At the same time, after this period of training, the combat effectiveness of Lu Cheng's subordinates was also rapidly improving.

Compared to the other gang members, Lu Cheng's men are organized, disciplined, strictly trained, and have learned various tactical skills. Their combat effectiveness is definitely not on the same level.

However, after the business developed, Lu Cheng also began to consider his next steps.

Sicily can only serve as a preliminary stepping stone and we cannot stay here for a long time.

In a year or two, this place will become the focus of war, and there may even be a large-scale landing battle. By that time, all the foundations built now may be destroyed in the flames of war.

Therefore, Lu Cheng had already planned to move.

In this era, the safest and most suitable place for development is still the beautiful country across the ocean.

As for after the war, Lu Cheng will not only focus on one place...
