Hardy Empire 1945

(Thanks to the leader of fff Gogogou for the reward)

Two ladies bags are placed in front of Hardy.

Boss, I checked with those bastards, and there are as many things in the bag. Big Ivan reported with a smile.

Hadi opened Han Yizhen's bag, took out a long brocade box, and opened the hosta inside.

How did those guys deal with it? Hardy asked.

Wait for your order, if you let me deal with it, I will take my brothers out of the city to bury them, and now it's a one-hour beating. Big Ivan said.

Those thieves, although hateful, were not guilty of death. Let's teach them a lesson, starve them for another week, and only give them a piece of bread and a glass of water every day, and that's about it.

Big Ivan's body trembled involuntarily, remembering the days when he was locked in a dark cellar by the boss and it was better to die than life.

Understood boss.

Big Ivan leaves.

Hardy pinched the hairpin, thinking that the girl could find Tang Ren to help her to ask for something, it seems that the identity is not simple.

Pick up the phone and call hd security intelligence.

Investigate the situation of the two girls for me. Hadi told the intelligence department what he knew about Han Yezhen and Irina.

......

Big Ivan returned to the station.

Look at a few guys who were tied into dumplings, with a sneer on their faces, and ordered their subordinates to untie them.

These thieves did not know why, and one by one knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Get a whip first.

Big Ivan's men took out a hemp rope whip, soaked it in salt water, and beat the thieves with their lives.

A group of things that don't have long eyes, provoke people you can't provoke, you are lucky if you don't kill you this time.

Reach out and slip a guy.

Say,

What bad things have you done before. I have nothing to do, and Big Ivan is going to take them to relieve the boredom.

The guy who was brought here didn't dare to hide anything. He talked about what bad things he had done before, and he was about to tell the story of wetting the bed when he was a child.

......

The hd security intelligence department moved quickly, and put a document in front of Hadi the next day. Hadi looked slightly stunned after reading it.

Irina is fine.

French girl.

Originally, the family still had some assets. As soon as World War II broke out, her parents brought her to the United States. Since then, she has settled in Los Angeles, with a normal resume.

What surprised Hadi a little was Han Ye Jin.

Her identity is indeed a bit unusual, it turned out to be the granddaughter of Mr.

That old Mr. Situ, even Hardy is like thunder.

The old man once followed Sun Yat-sen, and Chang Kaishen respected him. Roosevelt served him as a legal adviser and was elected as the chairman of the Hongmen Zhi Gong Party. During the Anti-Japanese War, he presided over the Anti-Japanese War Raising and Raising Bureau, which raised 14 million US dollars and founded the country. Standing in the front row during the ceremony.

It's 1946, and the old gentleman is still running around the country.

Han Ye-jin's father is also a Chinese, an architect, and Han Ye-jin's mother is a college classmate. They are in free love and get married. Her family does not involve Hongmen affairs.

The boss of the Los Angeles Tang People's Gang is a disciple of Mr. Situ, and one of the important figures in the Hong family. It is natural to protect Han Yizhen.

She studied architecture, presumably under the influence of her father.

Put the hairpins away,

Hardy is going to give the girls back handbags.

Driving to the University of Southern California, driving all the way to the teacher's parking lot, walking on the campus, watching the students passing by in twos and threes, and the young people sitting or lying under the shade of the lawn and trees, life is really leisurely.

Just when Hadi walked downstairs of the architecture department, she happened to see Han Yezhen coming downstairs, holding two books in her hands, followed by a young white guy who was chattering about something.

Miss Han. Hardy called out, standing in front of the two.

Han Yizhen suddenly raised her head to see Hadi, and was a little surprised for me. The man beside her also looked at Hadi with a slight hostility in his eyes.

Mr. Hardy, why are you here?

After Han Yizhen finished speaking, she rolled her eyes, looked at her classmates and said, Andrew, my friend is here, I don't have time today, goodbye.

Mr. Hardy, let's go. After saying that, they stood beside Hardy and left together.

Andrew glared at Hardy's back with some hatred.

If this guy didn't come, maybe he could invite a girl to a movie with him today.

Your suitor?

The two were walking down the tree-lined road, Hardy asked.

Just a classmate. Why is Mr. Hardy here? Han Yizhen asked.

Didn't you invite me to visit USC yesterday? Hardy's tone was a little hurt.

Han Yizhen's expression froze.

In fact, it was Irina who sent out the invitation yesterday, but Hardy saved him, so he couldn't say that he didn't invite him.

Why don't we go find Irina together, she should be out of class too, Han Yizhen said.

Okay, I just happened to find her together.

When Irina saw Hardy, she ran over happily and greeted warmly: Hi Mr. Hardy, I'm so glad to see you again.

It's noon, is there a treat for lunch? Hardy looked at the two girls.

Oh~!

Irina was at a loss for words.

She lost her living expenses. Yesterday, she borrowed dozens of dollars from Han Yezhen to spend the month with slices of bread every day.

If she treats guests, her living expenses are gone.

Han Yizhen looked at it, I invited Mr. Hardy to dinner. Thank you for saving us yesterday. There is a restaurant next to the school, so let's go there.

No problem, but wait a minute, I'll get you something from the car, Hardy said.

What? Irina asked curiously.

Gift.

The three came to the car. Hardy opened the car door and took out two handbags. The two girls were shocked when they saw it.

Ah, isn't this my purse?

My handbag is here too?!

Check to see if there is anything missing. Hardy said, returning the bag to them, and the two girls took it over to check.

It's all there, nothing is much, and all my money is in it. Irina exclaimed in surprise.

Han Yizhen also saw her belongings, including the hosta.

Mr. Hardy, what's going on? Han Yizhen asked curiously.

Hardy smiled and said, I asked my friends to help you come back, so should you treat me to a meal to thank you?

Of course it should. Irina shouted excitedly.

The three came to the restaurant.

Irina asked again how the purse got back, but Hardy simply dealt with it, only saying that a friend had some energy.

Irina majored in journalism, she is articulate and has a lively personality, while Han Yezhen is relatively quiet.

After chatting for a while, Hadi looked at Han Yizhen and asked, I was in an antique store before, and you were going to buy porcelain. Do you know anything about those?

Han Yizhen thought for a while and said, My grandfather is very interested in antiques. He originally wanted to pass it on to his father, but his father chose architecture. When I was young, my grandfather often took out some porcelain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings to tell me about it. Then I fell in love with those things.”

I went to college and was influenced by my father. I also liked architecture. I studied architecture, but at the same time minored in painting, sculpture and art appreciation. This is my hobby.

Hardy nodded in understanding.

Do you usually collect a lot of Chinese antiques? Hardy asked.

The girl shook her head, I have no money, even if I see something I like, I can't take it.

Hardy understood.

Although the Han family is a rich family, Father Han is only an architect after all. He can provide the children with schooling, but he will never let her spend a lot of money.

In ancient times, education was more important, and no parents were willing to raise their children into playboys. Han Yizhen's money for buying antiques was saved little by little from living expenses on weekdays.

Mr. Hardy, I see that you have bought a lot of Chinese porcelain. Do you understand this? Han Yizhen asked.

Hardy suddenly said in Chinese: I don't understand very well, I just like it.

You can speak Mandarin?! Han Yizhen was surprised, and said this sentence in Mandarin.

Han Yizhen is a Chinese of three generations, but her family has always taught her Chinese. Her Cantonese is almost the same as that of southerners, and her Mandarin is a little bit worse, but I heard that there is no pressure at all.

How can Mr. Hardy speak Chinese? Han Yezhen asked.

Hardy shrugged, When I was a kid, my neighbor was a Chinese family, and we became good friends. That's when I learned Chinese.

You speak really well. I think Mandarin is better than mine. By the way, have you been to China? Han Yizhen asked.

Hardy shook his head,

I haven't been to China. The closest I was to China was when I attacked Japan. Later, I was seriously injured and returned to Hawaii. If I set foot on Japan at that time, I might go to China to see it. Hadi said.

Ah, have you been a soldier and participated in the war against Japan? Han Yezhen asked in surprise.

Yes, I killed more than 30 Japanese soldiers in total and won medals. Hadi said.

Han Yizhen's eyes on Hadi have become much more cordial than before. She is Chinese, and Japan invaded the land of China. She heard adults often talk about this at home, especially her grandfather has been doing things for the Anti-Japanese War. favorite.

Irina looked at her roommate and then at Hardy, and said unhappily, Hey, you two can't be like this. I don't understand a word of what you are saying. You are bullying people.

Han Yejin and Hadi looked at each other, and they both laughed.

Just as they spoke, they forgot to change the channel since they switched to Mandarin, and even ignored Irina next to them.

Mr. Hadi said that he once served as a soldier, killed more than 30 Japanese invaders, and made contributions to the fight against Fax. Han Yezhen said.

Irina is French, and her family had to flee to the United States because Germany started the war. She also hated Fax, and when she heard that Hardy was a fighting hero, her impression of Hardy was even better.

Looking at Hardy's eyes is simply not working.

After lunch, Irina still had classes in the afternoon, so she reluctantly said goodbye to Hadi. Before leaving, the girl hugged Hadi and kissed her cheek before leaving.

Han Yizhen and Hardy were walking by the college lake, and they talked about antiques again. Han Yizhen smiled and said, Actually, my name is also related to antiques. When I was born, my grandfather hugged me very much, and later said, this is It's my Han family's art treasure, so let's call it Yizhen.

The girl is laughing.

Hardy looked at the girl's profile,

I found that she looked better when she smiled.

Miss Han, I have a proposal. I like Chinese antiques, but I don't know much about them. You know Chinese antiques. I plan to set up an art company. How about you buy it for me? Hadi said.

Ah, let me be the person in charge of your company? Han Yejin was surprised that Hadi would have such an idea.

Yes, I pay, you are responsible for the acquisition, I can give you 5% of the shares.

Han Ye Jin just wanted to refuse.

She's still in college and it's too early to make money.

My five percent stake is not money, but antiques.

Han Yizhen swallowed her words again, looking at Hardy with her beautiful eyes, but did not understand what this Mr. Hardy meant for a while.

Five percent antique, what do you mean?

Hardy smiled and explained, It's very simple, for every 100 pieces of antique art you acquire, you own five of them.

Then how do you determine which five pieces are? Antiques are of high or low value, and there are boutiques, treasures, and even national treasures. Can you pick them casually? Han Yizhen asked.

Hardy shook his head.

It's not fair to pick at random. It is possible that among the hundred antiques, the most precious one is the top of the other 99. I have a method. All 100 pieces are numbered, and the lottery will be drawn. Which one is allocated is entirely by luck. ' Hardy laughed.

The girl felt that this proposal was really interesting, and it aroused the youthful genes in her body, especially the antique reward, which greatly attracted her.

I don't want to delay my studies, I still have about a year to complete the course. Han Yizhen said.

Hardy smiled.

This tone is basically a promise.

The old godfather said that.

Give him an offer he can't refuse!

size of the cost,

Depends on your own choice.

Hardy looked at the girl and said:

This kind of thing can't be rushed. Let's take it slowly. After the company is established, you can recruit a group of staff and appraisers, starting from Los Angeles, then California, slowly to the United States, and finally to the whole of Europe and even Asia. Our time A lot. Hardy said.

Han Yizhen looked at Hadi and asked, Mr. Hadi, your goal is really big, and it costs a lot of money?

Hardy smiled,

Rest assured, I'll make a lot, a lot...a lot of money.
