Two days later, at the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa …
This stadium, which could accommodate 70,000 people, was the venue for the two semi-finals of the World Cup in South Africa. At that moment, because there was no game in the morning, the stadium was particularly quiet.
Zhao Yu hadn't expected that the South African National Intelligence Department would be located there, 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 was a secret award ceremony, our ceremony was relatively simple, and we did not arrange for any video or photos. I hope you can understand!"
"Of course, of course, we're not movie stars. Haha …" Miao Kun, who was used to talking and laughing in this kind of setting, immediately complimented him. "I used to think that the executives of the intelligence department were all fat men! I didn't expect that the minister of your country would be such a slender beauty! Besides, your Chinese is really impeccable! "
"Haha …" The black lady blushed and said, "Mr. Miao, you flatter me. In fact, China and I really have a lot of fate! I used to be an embassy counselor in Jingzhou, so I really can't express my gratitude for the diamond! "
"Not at all …" Miao Kun said with a smile. "We Chinese people have always been chivalrous. Since we found your country's diamond, it is only right that we return it …"
Then, the two of them chatted happily again. Seeing Miao Kun's frequent flirting, Zhao Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he found an excuse to pull his father-in-law aside.
"Father-in-law, he's already in his 50s, but your taste is getting worse and worse …" Zhao Yu complained, then asked in a low voice, "Are you sure this is what the higher-ups want?
"Isn't this too ostentatious?
"The South African Intelligence Department, the British Office, and our embassy have all been informed. What kind of secret award ceremony is this? In less than half a day, the whole world will know, right? "
Miao Kun pointed to the black lady and said, "What do you know? Remember, in the future, it is very important to become familiar with the higher-ups of each country. Who knows when it will come in handy?
"As for the ostentatious thing that you said …" Miao Kun grabbed the red wine on a waiter's plate and said, "Now, we don't have to do anything but ostentatious! Being ostentatious is what the higher-ups mean! "
Zhao Yu frowned. "But, why did you call the British people over? Isn't it obvious that you're trying to stir up trouble?"
"What does that have to do with us? What does that have to do with us? " Miao Kun raised his head and finished his glass of red wine. He then said, "Zhao Yu, remember that the two of us are now heroes who have taken back the diamond! The two of you don't need to worry about other things! "
"But …" Although Zhao Yu was smart, he knew nothing about international relations. He felt that the diamond deal was a little too high-profile.
"Didn't I tell you before?" Miao Kun put the empty glass on the table, pulled Zhao Yu to a corner, and said, "The reason why Green didn't return the diamond to MI6 was not only because he was dissatisfied with the system, but also because his comrade had been killed. He also told me …
"Diamonds … belong to the people of South Africa! After all, it was dug out from someone else's land. 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!" Miao Kun said. "The diamond is from South Africa, but the company is from Britain. So, now that we have handed over the diamond and both owners are here, they can divide it however they want. It has nothing to do with us, understand? "
"Oh … Now that you mention it, I seem to 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 rightful owner, and it has nothing to do with us!"
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us!" Miao Kun said. "The higher-ups are really open-minded. Our great country doesn't lack diamonds at all!
"So, we might as well give it back to them. That will make us look more generous! Moreover, we have returned the diamond to the South African government, so we have fulfilled one of Green's wishes! Ha ha … "Miao Kun said in high spirits." It feels good to be open and honest! "
Zhao Yu frowned. "But don't you think it's a little sour? The two of us risked our lives on Miracle Island for nothing, but the diamond … Sigh … "
"That's enough, Zhao!" Miao Kun comforted him. "Weren't you very clear when you persuaded me? If we squint at the diamond, we won't be able to live comfortably for the rest of our lives!
That's not wealth at all, it's a burden! "
"Um … I understand, I understand …" Zhao Yu said, but there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
"Ha ha ha …" At this time, Miao Kun laughed. He patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you still don't understand international etiquette!"
"Ha ha ha …" At this time, Miao Kun laughed. He patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you still don't understand international etiquette!"
"Hmm … Hmm?!" Zhao Yu heard the hidden meaning in Miao Kun's words, and his eyes widened. "You mean … There are benefits?"
"Nonsense!" Miao Kun laughed, then quietly pointed to the black female official and whispered, "Now you know why I flirted with her?
She just told me that the South African government, in order to thank us, will give each of us a 1.88 carat blue diamond, 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 last year, it was sold for 18.8 million Hong Kong dollars!" Miao Kun laughed. "But don't even think about selling it! When you and Miao Miao get married, don't you want to give it to my daughter? "
"Hmph! Old man … "Zhao Yu muttered." That means both of them are yours? Why don't you give your daughter your own as a dowry? "
"Go to hell!" Miao Kun scolded. "I only have one daughter. In the future, won't all of my assets be yours? If you have nothing better to do, just go and be happy! What's the point of haggling with me over a diamond that's worth 20 million? "
"Then … What does diplomatic immunity mean?" Zhao Yu asked again. "Why does it have a narrow meaning?"
"Well, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!" Miao Kun explained impatiently. "Basically, with this immunity, you don't have to pay taxes when you buy things in South Africa!
Also, if you encounter some legal disputes, you will also have certain privileges! "
"Then … What about honorary citizens?" Zhao Yu asked again.
Miao Kun shrugged his shoulders. "I don't have to pay to enter the scenic spots!"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu nodded. "So, after all this time, this blue diamond is the only useful thing?"
"Wrong!" Miao Kun denied. "These are only the rewards from South Africa. In order to show that the British are a great power, the rewards can't be worse than South Africa's!"
"Oh … Really? Really?!" Zhao Yu was like a marionette. He suddenly became energetic again and asked, "Quick, tell me, what are they giving us?"
"Look at you, you're drooling! You look like you've never seen the world before!" Miao Kun criticized Zhao Yu sternly, then said, "The British were more direct. They only gave us a ONE77 each!"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu nodded, then asked seriously, "What is a ONE77?"
Miao Kun shook his head. "Have you heard of Aston Martin? The ONE77 is a limited-edition top-of-the-line sports car from Aston Martin. Its factory price is more than 40 million yuan! "
