Diamond, the hardest substance in the world! I had a hard time coming up with a way to represent the meaning of the character in a movie, but then thought of just adding a diamond to the script and that´s it, now it´s clear and memorable. :-)

Eve the American rapper (yi-) is in the bathroom at the MSU Engineering Blgd (-ng) trying to get Jabba the Hut (更) to invest in her rap business. Jabba wants a 20% stake in the business and trying to drive a HARD deal term sheet. Eve, is a saavy negotiator though and slaps him across the head with MSU’s Rock (石) which is extreme big and HARD to knock some sense into him. You drive a HARD bargain Eve, I accept your proposal.
