Chapter 2647 Hollywood Rhapsody (V)
During the meal, Stark kept talking about the idea of the wedding, while others gave him their opinions. Schiller concentrated on eating. Hela was right, this restaurant was really not that good.
This restaurant mainly serves oriental fusion cuisine, and many of the dishes are fusions of Japanese food. To put it simply, all the ingredients are combined with the portions of Japanese food, with only one mouthful of food on a plate as big as a face. Schiller feels that the calories he consumes by raising his arms are much greater than those he gains from the food.
"I think you should buy an island," Steve said. "I see a lot of rich people doing that."
"And if anybody's plane crashes on the way to a wedding, it's the talk of the town forever," Stark said, rolling his eyes. "And it's very cliché."
"I don't think so." Steve didn't care about Stark's sarcastic tone at all. He said, "Classics are classics because most people find them useful. Being unique brings greater risks."
"Well, actually, Pepper and I have also thought about it. We looked at the world map for a long time and found that many islands were not satisfactory. Finally, I found one that was good in all aspects. The name written on the map was 'New Zealand'."
Everyone laughed, and Wanda covered her mouth with the hand holding the fork and said, "I guess you can afford to buy it, right?"
"Of course." Stark opened his hands and said, "But it's more troublesome to get the United Nations to recognize that I have the right to name it. But if I can't name it, what's the point of me buying the island?"
“Here we go again.” Polaris, who was interviewed backstage, looked annoyed. She said, “This is another reason why I hate Wanda. She only talks to this damn egomaniac. I’m really fed up with her fawning face.”
"Lorna never knows how to read the atmosphere." Wanda calmed down during the backstage interview. She said, "She doesn't know who is hosting the party and who should be respected the most. This is immature. Eric is always like this. I put in a lot of effort because I don't want to be like them."
"Then it's not bad to hold it in New York." Jarvis said, "There are many celebrities here, and the reception capacity is first-class. Although it is a bit old-fashioned, it is stable and safe."
Stark waved his hand again and said, "We have certainly considered this plan. Now that New York's air transportation system is basically mature, it will also allow more people to come here to see the new look."
"But New York lacks some romance." Stark said with some embarrassment: "The pace of life here is too fast, there are tall buildings everywhere, and the scenery is not beautiful enough, so we finally ruled out this option."
"Then it seems that the destination must be the West Coast." Schiller thought he should quickly get the topic on track. He said, "The area here is vast and sparsely populated, the pace of life is slow, and the scenery is nice. But have you decided which city to hold the event in?"
“What do you think of Hollywood?”
When these words were spoken, the others had different expressions.
"I think it's pretty good, actually." Steve said in a backstage interview, "The suburbs of Los Angeles are a good place, with mountains behind and the sea in front, and a mild climate. At least it's very suitable for pregnant women like Pepper to take a vacation, but I guess Tony didn't consider this."
"There is no doubt that Tony Stark has obvious narcissistic tendencies." Hela also commented in a backstage interview: "I am not surprised that he chose this place. He just wants everyone's attention to be focused on him, just like a big star in a movie."
"I don't quite agree with this idea." Jarvis glanced at Pepper and said, "If it were in Los Angeles, it would be fine. At least the transportation is convenient, but Hollywood is a suburb. The transportation, education and medical resources there are very average, especially the medical care."
"Then let's build a private hospital. There's still time." Stark said without hesitation: "I will invite the best doctors, such as God's shoulder, God's elbow, etc...."
"I have nothing to say," Strange said in a backstage interview. "He has no basic respect for life and medical care. I hope he can use these titles to attract the people he wants."
"Tony always likes to use this as an excuse." Loki said helplessly, "The title of Iron Man is not much better than the Hand of God. He knows that Stephen cares about this very much. I think he just gets excited and doesn't care about anything else."
Eddie took close-ups of the three people's subtle expressions.
"There's no need to be so exaggerated. Maybe you can hire a private doctor who's always on call." Schiller suggested seriously. He said, "I have a few classmates who are good at their profession. Maybe I can introduce them to you."
"Is he as addicted to drugs as you are, so addicted that he can't even attend the consultation?" Strange suddenly asked.
"This is so old news." Schiller muttered while eating, and said: "I have the qualification to work, which proves that I am fine. The same is true for them."
"I hope so."
After the confrontation between the two doctors, a rather urgent background music sounded. Strange, wearing surgical gown, pushed open the door of the operating room and confirmed things in a low voice to the assistant next to him.
The sound of the bed being pushed into the operating room was particularly harsh. When the lights in the operating room came on, it was as if countless pieces of music depicting joys and sorrows were ringing in my ears.
"Good morning, good morning... Charles, have you handed over last night's consultation records to the head nurse? Okay, tell Davis that I have sent his suggestions for revisions to the report he wrote yesterday to his email..."
"When it comes to my profession, many people have a misunderstanding," Schiller said, sitting by the window. "They think a psychiatrist should sit in an expensive house and only see the upper class people who complain about nothing."
"Perhaps this was true many years ago, but with the development of psychology and psychiatry, the categories of these two disciplines have gradually increased. The department I work in now can be called the Psychology Emergency Department, which mainly deals with patients with sudden psychological problems during various emergencies or surgeries..."
"The Presbyterian Hospital has the most developed and detailed psychology and psychiatric classification clinic on the East Coast. It is my honor to be able to work here. I believe that with the development of medicine, such detailed classification will be popularized in various hospitals..."
Strange was busy in the operating room. The clock outside the operating room turned from 8 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock. Not only was the operation not over, another surgeon took over his shift and continued to do the same operation so that he could go out for dinner.
"People always ask me if medical dramas are real," Strange said, sitting in his office. "Especially the ones that have to do with neurosurgery. Do you think I would deny it? No, I wouldn't."
"Doctors, patients and nurses are all rushing around in the hospital. The comedy and tragedy of life and death are being played out simultaneously in the corridor of a ward." Strange's slightly indifferent tone seemed exceptionally rational at this moment.
"Neurosurgery, as many people imagine, is the pinnacle of the pyramid in the field of human medicine today, and is the best proof that humans can change their destiny with their own hands."
"Did God give people all this?" Schiller led a group of students to the ward where the emergency occurred. His voice was gentle and powerful. "No, I don't think so. Doctors exist to prove that human beings survive not by God's blessing."
"I don't rely on prayers to exchange for asylum. There are many people in this world who have a pair of dexterous hands, but only I have come to where I am today, which should bring me enough respect." Strange said: "Rather than the Hand of God, I would rather they call me Doctor Strange."
"Dr. Rodriguez, I want to know why you are late for the consultation again." Strange's cold voice rang out in the conference room. Schiller walked in with blood on the corner of his white coat. He wiped his hands with a towel and said, "I just encountered a difficult patient, but he is fine now."
"Is the patient alright?"
"The patient is dead."
"Oh, Tony, are you okay?" Pepper wiped the wine stains on Stark's sleeves with a napkin. He said, "You really shouldn't drink so much."
Stark shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I'll go change my clothes. You guys continue."
Steve smiled, and Carter looked at him strangely. Steve smiled and shook his head at her.
No one else realized what he was talking about. Only Schiller looked in the direction where Stark disappeared. That was not the direction to the styling room. If Stark really wanted to change clothes, why would he go to the back kitchen of the restaurant?
The lights suddenly dimmed but did not go out completely. Everyone at the table was startled, but when they saw the waiter standing there very calmly, they did not move.
"I knew what was going to happen at that time!" Wanda, who was interviewed backstage, smoothed her hair back and said excitedly, "I have to admit that this is a bit old-fashioned, but Steve is right. The reason why classics are classics is that they are liked by most people. If Tony had made a too exciting surprise from the sky, Pepper might not be able to bear it."
But it was still somewhat unexpected that what was pushed up was not a cake, but a huge display case that was about to hit the roof. A three-layer cake was placed in the front of the display case, and a whole set of jewelry was placed in the transparent glass display case at the back.
This is a set of silver-grey jewels that sparkle with dazzling luster in dim light. The basic composition elements are irregular streamlined waves, which, due to their repeated and dense arrangement, look like a river of mercury flowing in the air.
The manager wearing white gloves introduced: "This is the collection jewelry set 'Sound and Shadow' launched by Van Cleef & Arpels this year. It uses the most classic invisible setting method. There are 36332 gray diamonds in total, but there are no claws or bases. The diamonds seem to have become invisible sounds and shadows, like ghosts sinking to the bottom of the river of time..."
The moment the jewelry appeared, Pepper stood up and never took her eyes off the jewelry. From her eyes, it was clear that she was completely attracted to it.
Stark raised his eyebrows proudly at Steve, and Steve turned to look at Carter. Although Carter was also admiring the jewelry, he obviously didn't like it as much as Pepper.
"You don't like this?" Steve whispered.
"I don't really like black, white and gray." Carter replied in a low voice, "Otherwise, most of my clothes and jewelry wouldn't be colorful, but it seems that Pepper likes them very much."
"I seem to have heard that she doesn't like brightly colored things, but most jewelry is brightly colored, and it's not easy to find a set like this."
Hela and Loki whispered, "I remember Van Cleef & Arpels always produced some brightly colored jewelry in animal shapes. I didn't expect there was such a thing."
"Not as pretty as mine." Loki lowered her voice to the lowest level and said, "Do you still remember the set of light-dulling gems in Frigga's collection? They are truly ghosts in the river of time..."
“Although sometimes I quite like the fact that the gems on Earth don’t shine, that set does look better,” Hela said.
"Maybe I can wait until Pepper gives birth and give it to her. I've always thought that humans are attracted to light, and most people do like the glowing gems we have. They don't like dim ones like this. I didn't expect Pepper to like this."
"I heard that you gave Wanda's child a glowing crystal diamond. Now the crystal diamond mine has been closed, right?"
"Of course, the price of a crystal diamond in the Shi'ar Empire has been raised to more than 60,000 star coins per vic, but I still managed to get one from another Loki..."
