Chapter 154: Hill's Suitors
"Hi Hill, long time no see. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Dick's fat face showed a harmless smile, and he stretched out his right hand to Hill, who was wearing a graceful red dress opposite.
Unfortunately, Hill didn't even look at him, and continued to admire the artistic oil painting "The Last Supper", with his red lips slightly open: "Of the twelve disciples of Jesus, who do you hate the most?" ”
"What I hate most is Judas, that bastard who betrayed my Lord Jesus." Dick mistakenly thought that Hill had accosted him, so he immediately replied, smiling.
Hill rolled his eyes, turned his head slightly and said, "I'm not asking you." I'm asking my Oriental friend, Qi. ”
As Hill spoke, he patted Qi Yu on the shoulder.
Hearing this, Dick's face suddenly showed a little embarrassed, and his heart was full of anger, and his anger rose sharply.
'There are so many people around watching, and you don't give me any face?' ’
'I'm also the youngest district attorney general in New York, and within a few years I'm sure I'll be the district attorney general, and with my father's political support and my mother's consortium, I have a lot of hope of winning the mayor's position in middle age. ’
'Hmph, don't think you're a great S.H.I.E.L.D. commander, you're just a transitional stepping stone to me. When we Hydra reach our plan to rule the whole world, and you lose your usefulness, I must sell you to Africa as a **, so that you can deeply experience the fate of daring to defy me! ’
Although Dick is sneering like this in his heart, the current Hydra still needs a certain amount of time to conquer the world, so he has to endure it first, endure it, and endure it again!
Seeing Hill's "insulting" behavior towards his master, the two burly men in sunglasses behind Dick did not move. Because long before getting out of the car, Dick had repeatedly told them that they must be respectful to Hill and maintain gentlemanly manners.
At the same time, the onlookers discussed this situation again.
"So Mr. Stein is here to find the woman in red!"
"By the way, who is that woman in red, even Mr. Stein took the initiative to find her, and she doesn't seem to give him face."
"I know a little bit about this, she works in a mysterious department in our country, and she seems to have mixed up with a high-level position, and she is a strong woman!"
"Oh, is it? But after all, Mr. Stein is the youngest deputy attorney general in New York, his father is a senator in New York, his mother is also the head of a big conglomerate, and he belongs to the son of one of the top families in New York State. Even if the president's daughter is here, she should have to give him three points of thin noodles! ”
"Well, who knows, let's continue to watch the show!"
……
Dick realizes that Hill, as he had always been, doesn't treat him very well, but he doesn't do much.
He took a deep breath, and the fat face struggled to squeeze out a few hints of hypocrisy, and pulled out a delicate small gift box from his arms.
He moved to Hill's side with a courteous face, and gently opened the small gift box with his fat hands.
Suddenly, a dazzling red light scattered, as bright as a torch!
Inside is a precious ruby named 'Queen Victoria's Tears' with a small label at the bottom of the small gift box that says '8,000,000$'.
"I heard you like red, so I ordered a collector's edition of a red gemstone from Europe." Dick took the gem out of the box and handed it to Hill, "Well, for you." ”
"No thanks." Hill indifferently refused.
She looks elegant and noble on the surface, but in fact, as a ninth-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., the commander-in-chief who can command the overall situation, she is definitely a female man-level figure, and she really has no interest in these small gadgets such as jewelry that captures the hearts of ignorant girls. Although the value of this ruby is comparable to her total income from several years of work at S.H.I.E.L.D., she is still unimpressed, showing her toughness.
"Don't be like this, this is what I spent a lot of energy and finally found, it's called 'Queen Victoria's Tears', it's ...... I learned from" Seeing that Hill was indifferent to this ruby, Dick still did not give up and continued to stalk, however, just halfway through the words, he was interrupted by Qi Yu.
"Who? Whose tears? Qi Yu raised his eyebrows and suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Dick couldn't help but snort coldly, in his opinion, Qi Yu even participated in the art appreciation of such a formal occasion, wearing a shirt with a crayon Xiaoxin image, and he was a Chinese hillbilly who had never seen the world and did not know the etiquette of high society.
Anyway, at the moment, Hill was half-ignoring him, and he felt that he might as well start from the side to belittle this ignorant yellow-skinned monkey.
"'Queen Victoria's Tears', named after the 19th-century Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, is one of the ten most famous British jewels, worth eight million dollars." Dick explained simply, in a calm tone, deliberately showing that he didn't take it very seriously.
The onlookers nearby, when they heard the price of "eight million US dollars", many people couldn't help but gasp.
"Eight million dollars? Oh my God, it's terrible! ”
"Just give such a precious ruby with a casual greeting gift, Mr. Stein is really arrogant!"
"Well, if only I were the one that Mr. Stein has a crush on a woman!"
"I really envy her......"
I have to say that there are already some upper-class celebrities at the scene, who are beginning to feel envious, and even jealous of Hill.
The woman in red is beautiful, but she is not the most beautiful in the audience, there are several younger and better-looking people than her, why did Mr. Stein take a fancy to her?
After listening to Dick's explanation, Qi Yu pursed his lips and frowned slightly, looking as if he had something to say.
"That...... Would you mind lending me this ruby of yours? Qi Yu suddenly said to Dick.
There were more than 200 guests in the hall, as well as dozens of service personnel and security personnel, adding up to almost 300 people, and under the gaze of so many people, Dick naturally did not show a stingy image.
"Of course!" Dick shrugged his shoulders and generously handed the ruby to Qi Yu, "Be a little careful not to fall on the ground......"
He was just halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Qi Yu halfway.
Qi Yu held the ruby between his thumb and forefinger, observing it closely, his brows furrowed, and his expression looked very bad, "It's so strange! ”
"What's weird?" Dick wondered.
"Uh...... This ruby of yours, worth eight million dollars, should be fake! ”
As soon as Qi Yu said this, the audience, including Dick, the owner of the gem, was shocked!
