"I heard that you lost to the United States and Spain, so your little Wang'er is not in a good mood?" Ambassador Cui ordered the green tea in front of him and motioned to Wang Ai to drink tea: "I've been watching football a lot in the past few years.
, thanks to you, the number of Chinese fans has increased by tens of millions, and I am one of them. At that time, I was working overtime in the ministry and had no time to eat. When the Ele.me cafeteria was closed, I went to various restaurants downstairs and outside.
Eating at a fast food restaurant. Sometimes while eating, I start to passively watch your game. Don’t tell me, it’s really impressive.”
Wang Ai looked at Ambassador Cui and said with a smile: "I said this is all superficial, and the people can see it intuitively. The work of the ministry is difficult, tit for tat, swords and guns, swords and halberds, and you can't let the people know, but you are in trouble.
Stop complaining. Therefore, I have entrusted the people with very complicated emotions. It is not because of how great I am, but because of the dedication of many unknown heroes. The people’s expectations for the country have been embodied in me. Otherwise, China will
If it becomes Iraq, how can I have time to play football?"
Speaking of this, Wang Ai smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't have time to feel the spring and regret the autumn."
Ambassador Cui leaned on the sofa chair and laughed heartily: "As expected of a famous volunteer in our diplomatic system, he understands us better than others. However, ordinary people have their own jobs, and it is impossible for them to have as much contact with us as you do.
Many. In fact, it’s not just us, but also soldiers, isn’t it? Many struggles are behind the scenes, which are sharper, more direct, more complex, and more difficult. But for the common people, your victory in the struggle is visible to everyone, which enhances their self-confidence.
, is also a good thing and a necessary good thing.”
"So, don't be humble." Ambassador Cui pointed at Wang Ai and said, "Your little prince has a very good reputation these years, just keep it up. In fact, it is rare to have a star who is liked by everyone from the leaders to the people.
"
At this moment, the door opened and Ambassador Cui's secretary came in and pointed at his watch. Ambassador Cui nodded: "Wait for me for two minutes."
The secretary went out, and Ambassador Cui looked serious: "What are your plans for the game the day after tomorrow? Oh, Leader Liu, I know there is no performance pressure on the national team, so I asked Xiao Wang alone."
Liu Chunming nodded. Originally, the embassy asked Wang Ai to come by name this time because it must have given him separate work instructions.
Wang Ai looked at Liu Chunming, and then said doubtfully: "There is no performance pressure, so there are no arrangements. Oh, Japanese fans like me a lot, so I will definitely play and strive to score goals."
"Well, what about competition goals? What about your personal performance goals?"
"For the sake of Sino-Japanese friendship and the needs of the competition, is it a tie? Or a small win, a small loss or something? As for me personally, I will enter one."
Ambassador Cui pondered for a moment: "TV Asahi interviewed you the day after the game? Did you bring the interview outline?"
Wang Ai nodded, took it out from his shoulder bag and handed it to Ambassador Cui. Ambassador Cui looked at it briefly and stood up: "I'm going to handle the work right away, and someone will take you to visit in a while. But what I say is that it will be a game the day after tomorrow, you
If you want to win, you also need to score more goals. We will talk about the specific reasons tonight, so you have an idea first."
Ambassador Cui went out to deal with the work vigorously and resolutely. Wang Ai and his party stayed in the embassy and walked around leisurely under the accompaniment of others. The eighty-nine-story office building and Wang Ai were one of them again were really fun places.
Quite a few. There are even more people who like him, and people talk to him wherever he goes. Wang Ai even played football with a few young people on the lawn in the backyard for a while.
A kid from an unknown family looked eagerly at Wang Ai playing football in a dazzling manner with various tricks, and his mouth was drooling.
When Ambassador Cui came back at five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Ai was having fun with others, but this time it was not football but table tennis. The embassy has an activity room, and table tennis is a must because it is a national sport.
What surprised the "onlookers" was that Wang Ai, a well-known star in the football world but who had never shown his second sport, was really good at table tennis. Five people from the embassy even came out and failed to win the round battle.
.
Some embassy staff asked Ambassador Cui to come in, but Ambassador Cui waved his hand: "I am a professional athlete. Although I am not engaged in this, I am in good health, have good coordination, and have some foundation. Come on, let's break up and get off work!"
"
After get off work, most Chinese employees still live in the embassy. This is their home.
After explicitly asking Wang Ai for his opinion and learning that he was worried about additives in the food outside, Wang Ai still stayed in the cafeteria to eat. Wang Ai also joked: "I have counted the cafeterias of twelve embassies.
I eat a lot of food, and there probably aren’t many people who eat a wide range of food than I do.”
Ambassador Cui laughed loudly. This is all Wang Ai's joke in the diplomatic system. He eats wherever he goes, and of course he works wherever he goes. Moreover, Wang Ai pays for the meals. Although it is based on the preferential treatment of his own employees.
The price is high, but Wang Ai never misses it, even if it’s just a few dollars.
Ever since Wang Ai became a Football Association cadre, had meal tickets issued by the Football Association, and once again heard a Football Association cadre complain about too much entertainment fees, he began to pay attention. Although he was not bad at all, he didn't want to be
The one who was complained about "eating and drinking too much".
Since the older generation of leaders have done this, he must do the same.
"The chef is here, ask the chef what you want to eat." Ambassador Cui pointed to the fat chef next to him: "I'm still the same, um, just a little more, we will talk for a long time today."
Wang Ai is also simple: "The quantity needs to be large, there needs to be more meat, and everything else will do. Don't bother me too much. There's no need. My taste is very ordinary, and I'm not an outsider."
The fat chef looked at Ambassador Cui, who smiled, so the chef said to Wang Ai: "Well, can we take a photo?"
"Of course." Wang Ai stood up: "As long as you don't think I'm not photogenic."
The chef went back to work in the kitchen with satisfaction. Ambassador Cui looked at Wang Ai with admiration: "It is better to meet in person than to hear rumors. No wonder you have done so many good things."
Wang Ai chuckled: "Those are given by the state."
As he spoke, Wang Ai pointed to the ceiling: "The leader from above."
He pointed at Ambassador Cui with his palm up: "Leaders like you and many unknown heroes are helping me. I don't even know their names. So, those are given to me by the organization. I My own contribution is only one percent, and for the rest, go back and forth wherever you come from, which is the right path."
Ambassador Cui pursed his lips after listening, nodded, and shook his head slightly sadly: "Okay, let's get down to business. I read the interview outline given to you by the TV station. According to my experience, you may still be able to do it by then. If you have a super-standard, you should be able to predict that it will be a difficult interview and a difficult struggle."
Wang Ai nodded: "So, create a peaceful atmosphere?"
"No." Ambassador Cui shook his head: "You want to win even more."
