On the morning of the 12th, Wang Ai was not at home, but drove to the Chinese Consulate General in Milan to report. With the completion of his transfer, his foreign affairs work relationship also moved from London to Rome, but they are not in the same city after all, so unless
There is a big event over there, otherwise Wang Ai usually mainly cooperates with the work of the Milan Consulate.
Wang Ai came here a few years ago when he received the European Golden Boy Award in Turin. Consul General Gao at that time also accompanied Wang Ai to Turin, so he went to this country house-like Consulate General. Well, it was not as big as Wang Ai's family.
At the consulate, Wang Ai is revisiting his old place.
Consul General Zhang was very happy! Hearing that Wang Ai's car was outside the door, he went straight out without worrying about his identity, holding Wang Ai's hands: "Xiao Wang, welcome!"
"Hey, don't you dare take it seriously? Leader, you... I am a grassroots employee of our diplomatic system. I have no position or power. Oh, I am still a volunteer. You are too polite."
Consul General Zhang smiled and waited for Wang Ai to finish, then shook Wang Ai's hand: "Xiao Wang, please don't be humble. In our European Department, you are registered, come here, come in and chat!"
When the staff of the consulate heard that Wang Ai was coming, they also came out of the room to say hello. There were not many people, probably only a dozen or so, and there were not many things going on in the consulate itself, so they were having a good time.
Unlike embassies, which have to undertake diplomatic tasks for many countries, consulates are simpler and mainly serve local expatriates, so there are fewer staff and the work is not so tiring.
"Xiao Wang, everyone has been looking forward to you for a long time." Consul General Zhang explained cheerfully: "I heard that you were coming in the summer. It's great for everyone, and I'm planning to hold a welcome party for you."
A young man joked: "That's right, we had already bought all the latte art at that time."
"But in the end, all the work was in vain!" Consul General Zhang laughed and said, "I heard that something happened over there and you couldn't come, but it hit everyone so hard that they couldn't cheer up for several days. Don't say it was...
We, the Chinese and overseas Chinese we usually come into contact with, sigh when we mention this matter. Unexpectedly, everything has turned around, and you are still here!"
Just as he was talking, a young girl smiled and stuffed a handful of flowers. Wang Ai took them and shook them, oh, they were pulled out of the vase.
"Thank you, thank you." Wang Ai also stood up with a smile, looked around, and put the flower branches back into the vase.
"As soon as you came, everyone's mood was aroused. Our diplomatic work cannot be separated from the participation of celebrities in society. You are famous enough, and your influence in Milan, a football city, is even more extraordinary. So you are
As soon as we come here, our work will open up a new situation."
"I don't dare to take what you said. It is also my duty as a citizen to cooperate with the diplomatic department." Wang Ai looked around the room and did not mention that he was a party member. He just said: "I have this influence, so it is even more important for me to do so."
Do more, otherwise I will be sorry for the help and care given to me by the diplomatic department."
Consul General Zhang shook his head: "That's what I say, but we all know what's going on. Your appearance fee will not be less than 200,000 euros, right? But I heard that you traveled from Germany to Spain to London,
At most, we have one meal. We are not stupid people inside and outside, and we know this account clearly in our hearts. It is your pursuit and belief that you are willing to dedicate yourself to the country and help us, but we cannot pretend
Confused, isn’t it?”
Wang Ai smiled and did not argue. In fact, his appearance fee is far from being covered by 200,000 euros. Because he controls information well, the outside world always has a strong desire for information about him, so his appearance fee is far from the current international super level.
The star's standard of 500,000 euros is marked 800,000 euros on Kangsi's small notepad! Especially after the Ballon d'Or bonus!
Of course, according to this charging standard, most people who want to hire him can't afford it. Besides, he is not the kind of has-been celebrity, or second- or third-tier person, who has opened some nightclub, some real estate for sale, some annual meeting
He has gone all the way. He is top-notch, both in China and in Europe! And he is often "priced but not marketable", and you can't even get him money.
Wang Ai has set business activities and social activities for himself once a week. If there are no suitable or inconsistent activities, he would rather stay empty and use this method to maintain his worth.
"Xiao Wang, our consulate does not have many social activities. Generally speaking, there are relatively large domestic business delegations and diplomatic missions coming to Milan. We are responsible for reception, arrangements, and our traditional holidays, organization
Chinese and overseas Chinese students have some activities together to keep in touch and bond with each other, generally speaking, once or twice a month." Consul General Zhang introduced.
Wang Ai nodded: "If my schedule here allows, I will try my best to participate."
"You don't have to attend them all." Consul General Zhang shook his head seriously: "If I really want you to attend all events, big or small, it will overdraw your social image. Why do you have to stay in Milan for two or three years in the future? We have to have someone.
Long-term planning ensures that every time you attend, your guests will feel happy.”
Wang Ai nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, the closest thing is the Spring Festival next month. If you don't have any other activities, come to the consulate and let's celebrate the Spring Festival together?"
Wang Ai wanted to nod directly, but unexpectedly asked Kang Si beside him to give her a tug. Only then did people notice this cute girl with flaxen hair. They saw the little girl opened her notepad: "This year's New Year's Eve is February 6th. Although you don't have a league,
and Cup, but on this day you have to return to Kunming to participate in the first game of the third stage of the World Cup qualifiers. The opponent is Syria. Oh, and also, the group opponents are Australia and Thailand, which are not very reliable."
Wang Ai grinned, lowered his head and calculated before raising his head and said: "Leader, I guess the competition over there is over, and I will definitely have to celebrate the New Year in Kunming. The next day is the Spring Festival, and I probably won't be able to come back. Look at this..."
"Can you come back for the third year of junior high school?"
"Well...I should go back to Beijing on the Spring Festival to celebrate the New Year with my family. In recent years, almost every family member has celebrated the Spring Festival together. But there is a league on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, so I will probably go back on the second day of the Lunar New Year, um, third day of the Lunar New Year
We can arrive in Milan at noon.”
"That's just right!" Consul General Zhang agreed: "Come back on the third day of the new year!"
After making work arrangements with the consulate, Wang Ai returned to the base with a small gift from the consulate. After the afternoon training, Mancini found Wang Ai: "wiwi, you are on the roster for tomorrow's game, be ready to play."
Are you ready?"
Seeing Wang Ai nodding, Mancini smiled and said: "Do you want to get used to the venue in advance? Go to the Meazza Stadium to experience it?"
