Chapter 1,201 Closing Ceremony

1201

Some people say that once people miss the past, it means helplessness and escape from reality, but Xu Taiping doesn't think so. He feels that he is very happy in reality and there is nothing to escape from, but he also likes to recall the past occasionally, even Yu was willing to make appointments with many big shots just for the sake of this memory.

In Xu Taiping's view, this kind of willfulness only existed when he was young. Now he is getting older, thinks more, and has more restraints. Therefore, many times, Xu Taiping misses his past self, and this, This is also the reason why Xu Taiping will happily come out to have dinner with Asuka tonight.

This meal made Xu Taiping feel particularly comfortable, because it was really just a simple meal. After this simple meal, Xu Taiping would no longer have anything to do with this former idol. intersection.

Xu Taiping left the izakaya and came to the door of the Prime Minister's Office.

The vehicles of ambassadors from various countries were parked outside the Prime Minister's Office. The interior of the mansion was brightly lit, and there were gorgeously dressed guards standing at the door.

Xu Taiping walked into the Prime Minister's Office under the guidance of specialized personnel.

Here, Xu Taiping put on a mask called worldliness, and faced everyone in the Prime Minister's Office with his most well-known appearance.

"Xu Sang, you are finally here!" Oda Shinsuke excitedly grabbed Xu Taiping's hand and said, "We have had a hard time waiting for you."

"Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road." Xu Taiping said awkwardly. He could only say this. Could it be possible to tell Oda Shinsuke that I went to have dinner with Sister Asuka?

"Really? At this time, the traffic in our Xijing City is still quite congested, but fortunately you are here! Come, let me introduce to you, this is our cabinet minister, this is the chief of the cabinet, this is..." Oda Shinsuke introduced his capable officers to Xu Taiping very enthusiastically. Xu Taiping smiled and greeted these people one by one. Then, the Chinese ambassador came over and said to Xu Taiping with a smile, "Taiping, you are really awesome." Give me face."

"The ambassador is laughing at me?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"You are a hero all over the world now. Who would dare to be the school belle? But then again, I remember that you seemed to have performed a similar feat in the United States before, right?" the ambassador asked.

"It's true." Xu Taiping said with a smile, "Similar things happen one after another. If this were to be placed in a novel, it would be a plot."

"Aha, what you said is interesting. Come, Taiping, let me introduce to you the ambassadors from various countries who are here. They are all grateful to you!" The ambassador said and hugged Xu Taiping directly. shoulder, and then took Xu Taiping aside.

Oda Shinsuke who was on the side quickly followed him, as if he was afraid that others would say that he was not enthusiastic enough about Xu Taiping.

After the introduction, Xu Taiping received a lot of thanks and a lot of friendship. Of course, Xu Taiping didn't think that these friendships could bring anything to him. If he said that those who were saved by him might also bring them to him. If something comes, it will be impossible for these ambassadors, after all, they have risen to the national level.

After getting acquainted with these ambassadors, Xu Taiping had a few drinks with them. After all, this was at the Prime Minister's Office, not a private dinner. Everyone was very restrained. After drinking, they all took a group photo together as a souvenir. Xu Taiping decided to go back and hang this group photo on the wall of his company office. In that moment, his level would be much higher. After all, the photos in the photos were either of ambassadors, officers, or prime ministers, which ordinary people really couldn't get enough of. so many people.

After taking a group photo, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. The closing ceremony of today's University Games was at nine thirty, so at this time, Oda Shinsuke had to end today's dinner.

"Xu Sang, you can take a car with me to the stadium later." Oda Shinsuke said.

"No, Mr. Ambassador has already made an appointment with me." Xu Taiping said apologetically.

"That's a pity, but I have already arranged a seat for you at the stadium. You and your Ambassador Lin will be able to find a seat when the time comes." Oda Shinsuke said.

"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, then found Ambassador Lin and followed Ambassador Lin out of the Prime Minister's Office.

"Who would have thought that you were expelled from the Olympic Village before, and now you would enter tonight's closing ceremony in this way." Ambassador Lin said to Xu Taiping with a smile.

"So, people living in this world should never look down on anyone. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. If you are not doing well now, it does not mean that you will not be doing well in the future. Even if you are not doing well in the future, then there is still What about the next life?" Xu Taiping smiled.

"Did you really go to dinner with Asuka tonight?" Ambassador Lin asked.

"Otherwise? Ambassador Lin also knows about Mr. Asuka?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"As the Romans do, I want to know about some of their celebrities." Ambassador Lin said with a smile.

"Then have you seen her films?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Ahem...Taiping, don't talk about this kind of thing. There is a recording device in the car." Ambassador Lin said softly.

"Oh, I understand, I understand!" Xu Taiping looked understanding.

The car drove all the way to the stadium. Because there was martial law on the road, the car went very fast. It didn't take long to arrive at the stadium. Then, Xu Taiping followed Ambassador Lin through a special passage and entered the stadium.

At this time, the stadium was already packed.

Xu Taiping originally thought that yesterday's attack would have an impact on today's attendance, but to his surprise, it had no impact at all!

"Those who came to see the closing ceremony are basically people from this country." Ambassador Lin said to Xu Taiping as he walked.

"Well, you can't see any panic on their faces. I thought that yesterday's attack would make everyone afraid to come." Xu Taiping said.

"Except for other things, the people of the Foot Basin Country are very courageous." Ambassador Lin looked at the people around him and said, "The Foot Basin Country was once our friend and our enemy, and now it has become our enemy again. Our friends, the exchanges between countries will always be unpredictable, but no matter how things change, only by deeply understanding this country and its people can we be able to remain unchanged in response to changes."

"The ambassador is right." Xu Taiping nodded.

"The more I know about this nation, the more vigilant I am." Ambassador Lin said, "This is a nation that is good at fighting and war-like, and we love peace. After the efforts of many people, the Prime Minister of the Foot Basin Country is now in power who is pro-ourselves. , acknowledging historical facts, so the exchanges between our two countries are closer than ever, but... you also saw what happened yesterday. If it weren't for the help of right-wing politicians, those people would have infiltrated into the Olympic Village, and it would have been a large-scale infiltration. That is almost impossible, so... we must not be harmless, and we must not be vigilant. There is a long way to go to maintain such peace."

"There are actually some voices in China that are not very good, saying that we are too soft on the foot basin country." Xu Taiping said.

"What do those people know? Starting from your ancestors, we have treated the Foot Basin Country with both kindness and power, which led to the current situation. Now that the Foot Basin Country is pro-China, we can use this as a threshold to block the eastward advance of the United States, regardless of strategic significance or With a more profound historical significance, everything we are doing now can only make China better. The United States has many writers in the country." Ambassador Lin said.

"I don't know about this. Talking too much would cross the line. I'm just a small businessman." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"I believe that one day, you will follow in the footsteps of the great men of your Zhao family and do your best for this country." Ambassador Lin patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder and said.

"In this life, I don't want to participate in state affairs. I just want to live a free life. Whoever doesn't let me live free, no matter who it is, I won't let him have an easy time." Xu Taiping said with narrowed eyes.

"Hahaha." Ambassador Lin laughed.

The two chatted while walking to the seating area.

Sitting here are senior officials from the Foot Basin Country, as well as senior officials from the Olympic Organizing Committee, and even a son of the Emperor is sitting here, which is enough to show that everyone attaches great importance to this closing ceremony.

"No one from the royal family showed up at the opening ceremony. Their appearance at the closing ceremony also showed their courage." Ambassador Lin said.

Xu Taiping nodded, then followed Ambassador Lin and walked to a seat about one meter away from Oda Shinsuke and sat down.

This position can be regarded as a very central position. Even the chief executive in charge of sports in the Foot Basin Country is far from the center of Taiping.

"Xu Sang!" Oda Shinsuke waved to Xu Taiping through the crowd. Then, Oda Shinsuke whispered a few words to the old man next to him who was said to be the emperor's son. The old man nodded and then looked at Xu Taiping. , said hello to Xu Taiping in Japanese.

The Japanese the old man spoke was not ordinary Japanese. He used some grammar of the royal family. People who generally know Japanese can probably understand the meaning. Xu Taiping has studied Japanese in depth, and he still understands everything the old man said. Yes, Xu Taiping hesitated for a moment. If someone uses this ancient royal grammar, should he also use classical Chinese to say hello to others? Only in this way can he show his high level of proficiency. However, considering that the other party may listen to Although he didn't understand classical Chinese, Xu Taiping still greeted the other party in Chinese very straightforwardly.

Just after greeting the eldest prince, senior officials from the Olympic Organizing Committee also came to greet Xu Taiping. Xu Taiping responded one by one, and then sat upright in his seat, quietly waiting for the closing ceremony. of opening.

As a burst of exciting music sounded, the closing ceremony of the fifteen-day University Games officially began.
