Chapter 1201 Closing Ceremony
1201
Some people say that once a person misses the past, it means helplessness and escape from reality, but Xu Taiping doesn't think so. He feels that he has lived a very good life and has nothing to escape from. But he occasionally likes to recall the past, and even is willing to have a lot of appointments from big people for this memory.
In Xu Taiping's opinion, this kind of willfulness was only achieved when he was young. Now he is getting bigger and bigger, thinking more and restraining more. Therefore, many times, Xu Taiping missed himself in the past, and this is why Xu Taiping would be very happy to come out tonight for dinner with Tomorrow Flower.
This meal made Xu Taiping feel particularly comfortable, because it was really just a simple meal. After this meal was finished, Xu Taiping would no longer have any interaction with this former idol.
Xu Taiping left the izakaya and came to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Outside the Prime Minister's Office were the vehicles of ambassadors, the lights were brightly lit, and gorgeously dressed guards stood at the door.
Under the leadership of specialized personnel, Xu Taiping walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Here, Xu Taiping changed into a mask named Shisu, facing everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion with the most well-known appearance he faced.
"Xu Sang, you're finally here!" Oda Nobusuke grabbed Xu Taiping's hand excitedly and said, "It's so hard for us to wait for you."
"Sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road." Xu Taiping said awkwardly. He could only say that. Could it be that he told Oda Nobusuke that I went to have dinner with Sister Asuka?
"Is that right? At this time, the traffic in Xijing City is still quite congested, but fortunately you are here! Come on, let me introduce you to us. This is our cabinet minister, this is the chief of the inner room, this is..." Nobusuke Oda enthusiastically introduced his capable generals to Xu Taiping. 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 really give me face."
"Amusement is laughing at me?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"You are a hero in the world now. Who dares to be a school beaut? But then again, I remember you seemed to have had a similar feat in the United States before, right?" asked the ambassador.
"It's true." Xu Taiping smiled, "I encountered similar things one after another. If I put them in the novel, it's definitely a water plot."
"Aha, what you said is interesting. Come, Taiping, I will introduce to you the ambassadors of all countries present. They are all grateful to you!" The ambassador said, and directly hugged Xu Taiping's shoulder, and then took Xu Taiping to the side.
Oda Nobusuke, who was standing beside him, quickly following, as if he was afraid that others would say that he was not enthusiastic enough to Xu Taiping.
After introducing it, Xu Taiping gained a lot of thanks and a lot of friendships. Of course, Xu Taiping did not think that these friendships could bring to him. If those who were saved by him might bring something to him, then these ambassadors would not be able to do so, after all, they have already reached the national level.
After meeting these ambassadors, Xu Taiping drank a little wine with them. After all, this was in the Prime Minister's Office, not a private dinner. Everyone was very restrained. After drinking, everyone took a photo together to keep it as a souvenir. Xu Taiping decided to turn around and hang the photo on the wall of his company's office, which would instantly make his level much higher. After all, the photo was either ambassadors, superiors or prime ministers. This ordinary people really couldn't get so many people together.
After the group photo, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Today's college sports meeting closed at 9:30, so at this time, Oda Nobusuke had to end today's dinner.
"Xu Sang, you can go to the stadium with me later." Nobusuke Oda said.
"No, the Ambassador has already made an appointment with me." Xu Taiping said apologetically.
"That's a pity, but I have arranged a location for you at the stadium. Then you and your Ambassador Lin will find the location." Nobusuke Oda said.
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, then found Ambassador Lin and left the Prime Minister's Office with Ambassador Lin.
"Who could have thought that you were expelled from the Olympic Village before, but now you have entered the closing ceremony tonight in this way." Ambassador Lin said to Xu Taiping with a smile.
"So, when people live in this world, never look down on anyone. Thirty years from Hedong to Hexi, if you are not doing well now, it means you are not doing well in the future. Even if you are not doing well in the future, then you will have the next life, right?" Xu Taiping smiled.
"Have you really gone to have dinner with Tomorrow Flower tonight?" Ambassador Lin asked.
"Otherwise? Ambassador Lin also knows about Teacher Asuka?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"I need to know some of the celebrities here when I follow the local customs." Ambassador Lin smiled.
"Then have you seen her film?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Ahem... Taiping, don't talk about such things, there is a recording device in the car." Ambassador Lin said in a low voice.
"Oh, understand, understand!" Xu Taiping looked clear.
The car headed all the way to the gymnasium. Because the road was already martial law, the car was very fast and arrived at the stadium soon. Then, Xu Taiping followed Ambassador Lin to enter the stadium through a special passage.
The stadium was already full at this time.
Xu Taiping originally thought yesterday's attack would have an impact on today's attendance rate, but he didn't expect it to have no impact at all!
"The people who come to see the closing ceremony are basically all from the script country." Ambassador Lin said to Xu Taiping as he walked.
"Well, there is no panic in their faces. I thought yesterday's attack would make everyone dare not come." Xu Taiping said.
"Putting aside other things, the people of the Foot Basin Country are very courageous." Ambassador Lin looked at the people around him and said, "Foot Basin Country was once our friend and also our enemy, and now we have become our friends. The exchanges between countries are always unpredictable, but no matter how they change, only by understanding this country and the people of this country can we be able to respond to changes in the same way as we remain unchanged."
"The ambassador is right." Xu Taiping nodded.
"The more I understand this nation, the more I am wary." Ambassador Lin said, "This is a warlike and warlike nation. We love peace. After many people's efforts, the Foot Basin Country is now in power and recognizes historical facts. Therefore, our exchanges between the two countries are closer than ever. But... you have also seen what happened yesterday. If it weren't for the help of right-wing politicians, those people would have to penetrate the Olympic village and have large-scale infiltration, it would be almost impossible. Therefore... it is necessary to harm others, and we cannot be without a vigilant. Maintaining such peace is a long way to go."
"There are actually some sounds in China that are not very good now, saying that we are too gentle to the foot basin country." Xu Taiping said.
"What do those people know? Starting from your ancestors, we have both kindness and power to the country of foot basin, and we have the current situation. Now the country of foot basin is close to China. We can use this as a threshold to block the United States' eastward advance. Whether it is strategic or far-reaching historical significance, everything we do now can only make China better. The United States has many pens in China." Ambassador Lin said.
"I don't know this. If I say too much, I will cross the line. I am just a small businessman." Xu Taiping smiled.
"I believe that one day, you will definitely follow the footsteps of the great men of your Zhao family and do your best to contribute to 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 be free for the rest of my life. No matter who I don't let me live, I will not let him live a good life." Xu Taiping said with his eyes narrowed.
"Hahaha." Ambassador Lin laughed.
The two chatted and walked to the rostrum.
Sitting here are senior officials from the Foot Basin Country, senior officials from the Olympic Organizing Committee, and even one of the emperor's sons also sat here, which shows everyone's importance to this closing ceremony.
"The royal family did not appear at the opening ceremony, and the closing ceremony was also a sign of their courage." Ambassador Lin said.
Xu Taiping nodded, then followed Ambassador Lin and walked to a position about one meter away from Oda Nobusuke.
This position is already considered a very central position. Even the head of the Foot Basin Country in charge of sports is far inferior to the center of peace.
"Xu Sang!" Oda Nobusuke waved to Xu Taiping through the person. Then, Oda Nobusuke whispered a few more words to the old man beside him who was said to be the son of the emperor. The old man nodded, then looked at Xu Taiping and greeted Xu Taiping in Japanese.
The Japanese spoken by the old man is not ordinary Japanese, and uses some grammar of the royal family. Generally, people who know Japanese can understand the meaning. Xu Taiping once studied Japanese in depth and was still very clear about what the old man said. Xu Taiping hesitated for a moment. If someone uses this ancient royal grammar, then he has to say hello to others in classical Chinese, so that he can show his high standard. However, considering that the other party may not understand classical Chinese, Xu Taiping still greeted the other party in Chinese very bluntly.
Just after saying hello to the eldest prince, senior officials from the Olympic Organizing Committee also came to say hello to Xu Taiping. Xu Taiping responded one by one, and then sat upright in his seat, quietly waiting for the opening of the closing ceremony.
With a burst of intense music, the closing ceremony of the 15-day college sports meeting officially began.
Chapter completed!
