Reborn on top of football

The secretary also said excitedly, "I didn't expect that those yellow skins..."

"Hmm?" The CEO stared at him coldly. "What do you want to say? Don't be so stupid! How can a race that wrote the Tao Te Ching and the Art of War be stupid? At most, they are somewhat simple. But simplicity is scary. When we support them, their love will overwhelm us. When we attack them, their hatred will also overwhelm us. Now we have no way out. We must make profits as much as possible and as quickly as possible. Only in this way will the wealthy people on the board of directors stand on our side. Only money, no matter what kind of money it is, can give them enough courage to fight against the orders from Washington."

"Yes, sir, American politics is all about money."

The CEO lit up his cigar and took a deep puff: "Fuck the capitalists!"

At the same time, the lights in Wang Ai's backyard were bright, and everyone gathered by the swimming pool to chat and laugh. Now that the matter had been made public, the other guards also knew the whole situation and naturally joined in the celebration of this great victory.

Wang Ai was drunk and insisted on swimming. Zhao Dan was afraid that he would drown and wanted to ask Huang Xin or Lei Aoni to stop him, but the two of them were also drunk and wanted to go too. The helpless security team leader had to mobilize everyone to go.

After swimming for several times, Wang Ai gradually sobered up and noticed that people on the shore were discussing the progress online and the reactions of domestic and foreign media from time to time. He noticed that Zhao Dan made a phone call and that the female guards were eager to try.

"You guys have fun, I'll take a rest and then go out." Wang Ai went ashore and waved lazily.

The next morning, Wang Ai and his family saw statements from the Cotton for Conscientiousness Organization, Nike, and some so-called "scientists" and "research institutes." Dimension did not see any statement from Adidas because Adidas' CEO flew directly to China after showing off his prowess in the board meeting.

Too lazy to pay attention to its stupid competitors, Adidas is doing its best to seize the suddenly vacant market.

This is a rare opportunity that only comes once in decades, and I even forgot to ask Wang Ai for help. At this moment, if a company stands up openly, China will have all the power to help it.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs praised Adi at the press conference that day, while later that day, the spokesperson of the US State Department expressed regret for Adi's statement. At this point, Adi and Wang Ai, who was hiding in Adi's shadow, left the stage, and the familiar scene of the diplomatic personnel of the two countries quarreling with each other was staged again.

This also made the trembling football world feel like they had been pardoned. They never dreamed that the double-star superstar would be so capable of causing trouble. Even Adidas bowed its head. Now it is running into the arms of the Chinese like a happy dog...

Fortunately, it did not affect the football world. On the night before the French Ligue 10 resumed, Infantino called to congratulate him on his 90 goals in a single game and his feat of setting the single-season individual goal record in the five major leagues. During the greetings, he suddenly asked: "How many more goals will you score next? Will it be more than ?"

Wang Ai smiled and said, "Is there a reward?"

"You are already the football king of the 21st century, Doc!" Infantino laughed.

The next night, at the Parc des Princes, Wang Ai, the starting center forward, faced Lille, the second-placed team in the league, and wondered whether he should lose one game and play two more games to score more goals. Otherwise, if they won this game, they would be 16 points ahead in the league. After this game, there were only 7 games left in the league, and it was impossible for Lille to win 4 games. Paris could easily win half of them even if they played a lot of substitutes. The gap in strength in Ligue was really big.

While Wang Ai was daydreaming, the game started. When the players and the football in his eyes moved at the same time, he put his idle thoughts aside.

The players' coordination was a little unfamiliar. Except for Wang Ai, most of them had participated in the national team training, so they were all very tired. On the contrary, Lille's situation was much better, so the two teams were evenly matched on the field. Wang Ai didn't score a goal until half an hour into the game.

Fortunately, the team recovered in the second half. Wang Ai first broke through Lille's defense with his dribbling and shot into the far corner. Then, in a counterattack, he received a cross from his teammate and then changed direction to shoot from a small angle.

"You played beautifully today. I didn't realize you were so busy recently."

In the evening, Wang Ai was invited to the embassy as a guest, accompanied by Leonie and Huang Xin, and was entertained by Ambassador Lu: "You did a great job, both inside and outside the venue."

Wang Ai cupped his hands: "Congratulations, everyone."

"Yes." Ambassador Lu pulled Wang Ai to sit down. "It's been a long time since we have won such a beautiful victory in international public opinion. In the absence of international media, we have achieved an overall breakthrough with your breakthrough. It's a beautiful defensive counterattack. The motherland is very satisfied."

“Without the abundant resources of my powerful motherland, I would not have enough strength.”

Ambassador Lu nodded after thinking for a moment, and nodded slightly to Zhao Dan, who seemed to be invisible beside him: "In this incident, the organization didn't want you to do anything. Over the past few decades, our literary and sports circles have formed an unspoken rule: stay away from politics, and try not to get involved even if it is to defend national interests. To put it nicely, it's called self-preservation. To put it bluntly, ha, it's also called self-preservation."

Wang Ai shook his head. "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. The country provides the environment, resources, and order to keep us fat and healthy. How can we not go when something happens? Unless it's not worth it and we are not allowed to go, we have more obligations than ordinary citizens."

Wang Ai said this and turned to look at Ambassador Lu: "Is this a test for me?"

Ambassador Lu laughed. "I originally thought that it would be enough for the stars to take the initiative to cut ties and set a good example. There will be many more such struggles in the future. Of course, this is also because the long-term self-preservation of the arts and sports circles has prevented the country from considering this possibility and setting up this plan. Generally speaking, the strength of spokespersons and bosses is not equal. For those who have no ability to resist, cutting ties is the best they can do... until you sent in your application."

At this point, Ambassador Lu patted Wang Ai's arm with emotion and looked at him sincerely: "In the 70 years of New China, you are the only international superstar we have cultivated. Your development was not even expected by the leader who assigned you as Lao Jiu. The leaders and scholars have done a lot of research around you, but unfortunately we only have you and have no idea how to use you. We can only keep a conservative plan and let you exist. This is why you have never taken the initiative to find you after more than ten years since you won the first World Footballer of the Year and experienced so many major events."

"The organization has been quietly observing your donations to the Tianyan Project, your donations to the Hope Project, your charity funds, and even your donations to veterans. You have done a great job and have played a big role, but the organization has not made up its mind to use you because they are afraid of wasting you. You are different from Jackie Chan. His peak period has passed, so he can be used. You still have a long way to go, especially since you are a sports scholar with many publications."

Wang Ai grinned: "So, this time, my loyalty passed the test."

"No." Ambassador Lu shook his head in surprise. "Your loyalty has already been proven. If this is a test, then it is your ability to respond to emergencies, to seize opportunities, to combine resources, and to fight and win."
