Chapter 1380: The best choice
Two days later, Green Dot Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa.
The stadium, which could accommodate 70000 people, was the venue for the two semi-final games of the World Cup in South Africa. At this moment, as there was no match in the morning, the stadium was particularly quiet.
Zhao Yu did not expect that South Africa’s National Intelligence Agency would be set up here.
“Mr. Miao kun, Mr. Zhao Yu …” At this time, a slim black lady in a suit spoke to the two of them in fluent Chinese.”Because this is a secret award ceremony, our ceremony is relatively simple, and we did not arrange for any videos or photos to be taken. I hope you can understand!”
“I understand, of course I do. We’re not movie stars, hehe …” Miao kun was used to this kind of occasion, so he immediately took the opportunity to flatter him.”I used to think that the executives of the intelligence Department were all fat!” But he didn’t expect the Minister of your country to be such a slim and beautiful woman! Also, your Chinese is really impeccable!”
“Hehe …” The black lady blushed and said,”Mr. Miao, you’re overpraising me. In fact, I’m really fated with China!” I used to be a counselor in the Embassy in Jingzhou. I really can’t express my gratitude for the diamond this time!”
“You’re too kind …” Miao kun laughed.”We Chinese people have always been chivalrous. Since we found the diamonds from your country, we should return them …”
Then, the two of them started chatting happily again. Seeing Miao kun constantly winking at him, Zhao Yu couldn’t stand it anymore, so he found an excuse and pulled his father-in-law aside.
“Father-in-law, she’s already in her 50s, but your taste is getting weirder and weirder …” Zhao Yu complained, then asked in a low voice,”are you sure this is the order of the higher-ups?
“Isn’t this too ostentatious?
“The South Africa Intelligence Bureau, the United Kingdom office, and our Embassy have all been notified. What is this called a secret Medal of Honor? In less than half a day, the whole world will know, right?”...
“AI!” Miao kun pointed at the black lady and said,”you know nothing! Remember, it’s very important to get familiar with the higher-ups of various countries in the future. You might need it at any time!
“As for the Zhang Yang you mentioned!” Miao kun grabbed a glass of red wine from a waiter’s plate and said,”we don’t have to do anything now except for Zhang Yang! “Zhang Yang” means the higher-ups!”
“But, Zhang Yang is fine too …” Zhao Yu frowned.”But why did they ask the British to come over? isn’t this obviously to stir up trouble?”
“What does it have to do with us? What does it have to do with us?” Miao kun gulped down the red wine and said,”Zhao Yu, remember, we are the heroes who took back the diamond! You don’t have to worry about the other things!”
“But …” Although Zhao Yu was smart, he knew nothing about complicated international relations. He always felt that the diamond business was too high-profile.
“Didn’t I tell you before?” Miao kun put the empty glass on the table and pulled Zhao Yu to the corner.”The reason why green didn’t return the diamond to MI6 back then, other than his dissatisfaction with the system and the death of his comrade, he also revealed to me in between his lines …”
“The diamond … It belongs to the South Africa! After all, it was dug out from someone else’s territory. Other countries have no right to interfere with them, understand?”
“I understand! I also agree to return the diamond, but why should we inform the British …”
“Of course we have to inform them!” Miao kun said,”the diamond is from South Africa, but the company is from the United Kingdom. So, now that we’ve handed over the diamond, both owners are still here. They can split it however they want, and it has nothing to do with us anymore, understand?”
“Oh … Now that you’ve said that, I think I understand a little bit …” Zhao Yu blinked and said,”we did it in such a high-profile way to let everyone know that the diamond has been returned to its original owner, and that it has nothing to do with us!”
“In any case, it has nothing to do with us!” Miao kun said,”the higher-ups are so open-minded. Our country is so great that we don’t lack diamonds!”
“That’s why we should just return it to them. This will make us look more magnanimous! Besides, we’ve returned the thing to the South Africa government, so it’s also considered as fulfilling one of Grimm’s wishes! “Hehe …” Miao kun said in high spirits.”It’s so cool to be honest and open!”
“It’s good, but don’t you feel a little sour?” Zhao Yu frowned. We wasted our lives on wondrous Island, but diamonds … Sigh …”
“That’s enough, little Zhao!” Miao kun comforted him.”When you were trying to persuade me, weren’t you thinking clearly? If the two of us keep our diamonds to ourselves, we won’t be able to live comfortably for the rest of our lives!
“Things always reverse when they reach an extreme. That’s not wealth at all, but a burden!”
“Mm … I understand, I understand …” Zhao Yu said, but his eyes clearly showed that he was reluctant to leave.
“Hehehe …” Miao kun laughed and patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder.”You still don’t understand what international etiquette is!”
“Think about it, if we return such a large batch of diamonds to them, they can’t possibly just give us a silk banner that says” don’t keep your money,”right?”
“Mm … Mm!?” “You mean … There … There are benefits?” Zhao Yu asked, his eyes wide open.
“Nonsense!” Miao kun laughed and pointed at the black female official, whispering,”now you know why I was making eyes at her.
“She told me just now that the South Africa government will give each of us a blue diamond with a net weight of 1.88 carats, special diplomatic immunity, and the title of honorary citizen of Cape Town as a token of their gratitude!”
“Waa!” “Wow!” Zhao Yu exclaimed in surprise and asked,”this blue diamond, how much is it worth?”
“It was sold for 18.8 million Hong Kong dollars at the Jasper auction before the new year!” Miao kun laughed.”But don’t even think about selling it! When I get married to Miao Miao, won’t I put it on my daughter?”
“Hmph! “Old ghost …” Zhao Yu mumbled softly,”that means that both pills are yours, right? Why don’t you give that one to your daughter as her dowry?”
“Go to hell!” “I only have one daughter,” Miao kun scolded.”In the future, won’t all the property be yours? You should be secretly happy! Is there any meaning in haggling with me over these 10 million or 20 million diamonds?”
“Then … What does diplomatic immunity mean?” Zhao Yu asked again,”why is it a narrow one?”
“Well, you won’t understand even if I tell you!” Miao kun explained impatiently,”basically, you have this immunity, so you don’t have to pay taxes when you buy things in South Africa!
“Also, if you encounter any legal disputes, you will have certain privileges and so on!”
“Then … What about the honorary citizens?” Zhao Yu asked again.
“We don’t have to pay to enter the place!” Miao kun shrugged his shoulders.
“Oh …” Zhao Yu nodded.”It’s the same as messing around for half a day, but only this blue diamond is of some use?”
“Wrong!” “Of course!” Miao kun denied.”These are only the rewards for South Africa. In order to show their demeanor as a big country, the rewards for the United Kingdom can’t be worse than those for South Africa!”
“Oh … Is that so? is that so?!” Zhao Yu was like a marionette, suddenly full of energy. He urged,”quick, tell me, what are you giving us?”
“You’re drooling. Look at your naive face!” “The British are more direct,” Miao kun said.”They only gave us a ONE77 each!”
“Oh …” Zhao Yu nodded and asked seriously,”what’s the ONE77?”
“D * MN …” Miao kun shook his head.”Do you know about an Aston Martin? The ONE77 is a limited edition top sports car from an Aston Martin. The factory price is more than 40 million Yuan!”
“Oh …” Zhao Yu blinked his big, cute eyes and asked Miao kun,”then … They’ll have to pay for the transportation fee …”
