Two days later, Green Point Stadium, Cape Town, South Africa.
This stadium, which can accommodate 70,000 people, was the venue for the two semi-finals of the World Cup in South Africa that year. At this moment, since there was no football match in the morning, the stadium seemed extremely quiet.
Zhao Yu did not expect that South Africa's national intelligence department would be located here, which was really unexpected.
"Mr. Miao Kun, Mr. Zhao Yu..." At this time, a slender black lady in a suit said to the two of them in fluent Chinese, "Because it is a secret award, our ceremony is relatively simple, and there is no I hope you two can be considerate of arranging video recording and photography!"
"Considerate, considerate, of course, we are not movie stars, haha..." Miao Kun was used to this kind of chatting and laughing situation, and immediately complimented, "I used to think that the top executives of the intelligence department were all fat people! No! To think that your minister is such a slender beauty! Moreover, your Chinese is really impeccable!"
"Haha..." the black lady said with blushing cheeks, "Mr. Miao is really flattering. In fact, China and I are really destined! I used to be the counselor of the embassy in Jingzhou. This time about diamonds, I really can't help you. Let’s express our gratitude!”
"Where, where..." Miao Kun said with a smile, "We Chinese have always been chivalrous. Now that we have found your country's diamonds, we should return them..."
With that said, the two started talking happily again. Seeing Miao Kun frequently ogling others, Zhao Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he found an excuse and pulled his father-in-law aside.
"My father-in-law, I'm over 50 years old, and your taste is getting more and more serious..." Zhao Yu complained at first, and then asked in a low voice, "Are you sure this is what your superiors meant
"Isn't this too showy
"The South African Intelligence Service, the British Office, and our embassy have all informed us. What is this secret award? In a short time, the whole world will know about it, right?"
"Alas!" Miao Kun pointed at the black lady and said, "You know nothing! Remember, it is very important to get familiar with the top leaders of various countries in the future. You may need it some time!"
"As for the publicity you are talking about!" Miao Kun casually grabbed the red wine from a waiter's plate and said, "Now we don't have to do anything except publicity! Zhangyang means the superior!"
"But Zhang Yang is fine..." Zhao Yu frowned, "But why should we call the British over? This... isn't this an obvious attempt to stir up trouble?"
"What does it have to do with us? What does it have to do with us?" Miao Kun raised his neck and drank the red wine and said nonchalantly, "Zhao Yu, remember, we two are the heroes who took back the diamond now! There is no need for other things. You two are worried!"
"But..." Although Zhao Yu is shrewd, he knows nothing about the complex and complicated international relations. He always feels that the diamond matter is a bit too high-profile.
"Didn't I tell you?" Miao Kun put the empty wine glass on the table, pulled Zhao Yu to a corner, and said, "The reason Green didn't return the diamond to MI6 was because he was dissatisfied with the system and his comrades. In addition to being murdered, he also revealed to me between the lines...
"Diamonds... basically belong to the people of South Africa! After all, they were dug out of one-third of an acre of their land. Other countries have no right to interfere with them, do you understand?"
"I understand this! I also agree to return the diamonds to others, but why do we need to notify the British..."
"Of course we have to notify you!" Miao Kun said, "The diamond is indeed from South Africa, but the company is British. So, we have handed over the diamond now, and both owners are here. They can divide it as they like. We have nothing to do with each other, do you understand?"
"Oh... When you say that, I seem to understand a little bit..." Zhao Yu said with a blink of an eye, "We are doing this in such a high-profile manner just to let everyone know that the diamond has been returned to its original owner, and we have nothing to do with it." It’s related!”
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us!" Miao Kun said, "The superior leaders are really enlightened. Our huge country has no shortage of diamonds!
"So we simply returned it to them, which makes us look more generous! Moreover, we returned the things to the South African government, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of Green's wishes in disguise! Haha..." Miao Kun said with high spirits, "Be an honest man. Damn, this feeling is so good!"
"It feels good..." Zhao Yu frowned, "But don't you feel a little bit sour? We spent our lives fighting for nothing on Miracle Island, but the diamond... ugh..."
"Okay, Xiao Zhao!" Miao Kun comforted, "Didn't you think clearly when you persuaded me? If we narrow the diamonds, we will never feel comfortable again for the rest of our lives!
"Everything must be reversed when it reaches its extreme. That is not wealth at all, but a burden!"
"Well... I understand, I understand..." Zhao Yu said he understood, but there was obviously some reluctance in his eyes.
"Hehehe..." At this time, Miao Kun laughed. He patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder and said with a bad smile, "You kid, you still don't understand what international etiquette is!"
"Don't even think about it. If we return such a large batch of diamonds to them, they won't be able to give us just a banner with the words "Lost the money, right?"
"Hmm... hmm!?" Zhao Yu heard something in Miao Kun's words, and her eyes widened immediately, "You mean... there are... benefits?"
"Nonsense!" Miao Kun laughed loudly, pointed at the black female official just now, and whispered, "Now do you know why I gave her a secret look
"She just told me that in order to thank us, the South African government will give each of us a blue diamond with a net weight of 1.88 carats, as well as narrow diplomatic immunity and the title of honorary citizen of Cape Town!"
"Wow!" Zhao Yu exclaimed in surprise and asked, "How much is this blue diamond worth?"
"At the Carlsberg auction two years ago, it sold for 18.8 million Hong Kong dollars!" Miao Kun said with a smile, "But don't even think about selling it! When you get married to Miaomiao, wouldn't it be for my daughter to wear?"
"Hmph! Old ghost..." Zhao Yu muttered in a low voice, "So both of them are yours? Why don't you give yours to your daughter as a dowry?"
"Fuck you!" Miao Kun scolded, "I'm just a girl. In the future, all this big property will belong to you, isn't it? Just go ahead and have fun! You're still arguing with me about 10 million to 20 million. Diamonds, are they interesting?”
"Then... what does diplomatic immunity mean?" Zhao Yu asked again, "Why is it still in a narrow sense?"
"Well, you don't understand even if I tell you!" Miao Kun explained impatiently, "Probably, because you have this immunity, you don't have to pay taxes when buying things in South Africa!
"Also, you also have certain privileges when encountering some legal disputes!"
"What about... honorary citizens?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"It's free to enter the attraction!" Miao Kun shrugged.
"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded, "It's like we've been making trouble for a long time, but this blue diamond is of some use?"
"Wrong!" Unexpectedly, Miao Kun denied, "These are just rewards from South Africa. In order to show their demeanor as a great country, the rewards from the British side cannot be worse than those from South Africa!"
"Oh... Really, really!?" Zhao Yu suddenly became energetic again like a puppet on strings and urged, "Tell me quickly, what are you giving us here?"
"You're so embarrassed, you look like you have never seen the world!" Miao Kun criticized Zhao Yu seriously, and then said, "The British are more direct, they just gave us a ONE77!"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded seriously and asked seriously, "Then what is ONE77?"
"I'll go..." Miao Kun shook his head, "Do you know Aston Martin? ONE77 is a limited edition top sports car from Aston Martin, with an ex-factory price of more than 40 million yuan!"
"Oh..." However, Zhao Yu blinked his cute big eyes and asked again, causing Miao Kun to dodge, "Then... they have to pay the freight for us..."
