Chapter 1201 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 has a very cool life in reality, and there is nothing to escape, but he occasionally likes to recall the past, and is even willing to go to many big people's appointments for this memory.
In Xu Taiping's view, this kind of willfulness can only be had when he was young, and now he is getting bigger and bigger, thinking more and more restrained, so many times, Xu Taiping misses his past self very much, and this is why Xu Taiping will be happy to come out to eat with tomorrow flowers tonight.
This meal made Xu Taiping's mood particularly comfortable, because this was really just a simple meal, and after this meal was finished, Xu Taiping would no longer have any intersection with this former idol.
Xu Taiping left the izakaya and came to the door of the Prime Minister's Palace.
Outside the Prime Minister's Office, the cars of ambassadors are parked, the house is brightly lit, and there are brightly dressed guards standing at the door.
Xu Taiping, under the leadership of special personnel, walked into the Prime Minister's Office.
Here, Xu Taiping put on a mask named Shiso, and faced everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion with his most well-known appearance on weekdays.
"Xu San, you're finally here!" Oda Shinsuke grabbed Xu Taiping's hand excitedly and said, "We waited for you so hard." โ
"I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road. Xu Taiping said embarrassedly, he can only say this, could it be that he told Oda Shinsuke that Lao Tzu and Sister Asuka went to dinner together?
"Yes, at this time, the traffic in our Xijing City is still relatively congested, but fortunately you are here! Come, let me introduce you, this is our cabinet minister, this is the chief of the interior, this is..." Oda Shinsuke very enthusiastically introduced his right-hand man to Xu Taiping, Xu Taiping smiled and greeted these people one by one, and then, the ambassador of Huaxia came over and said to Xu Taiping with a smile, "Taiping, you really give me face." โ
"Ambassador, are you laughing at me?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"You're the hero of the whole world now, who would dare to school you, but then again, I think you seem to have done a similar feat in the United States before, right?" the ambassador asked.
"Really. Xu Taiping smiled, "Similar things have happened one after another, this has to be put in the novel, and it is a proper water plot." โ
"Aha, what you said is interesting, come, Taiping, let me introduce you to the ambassadors of all countries present, they are all full of gratitude to you!" the ambassador said, directly hugged Xu Taiping's shoulders, and then took Xu Taiping to the side.
Oda Shinsuke on the side hurriedly followed along, as if he was afraid that others would say that he was not enthusiastic enough about Xu Taiping.
After being introduced, Xu Taiping received a lot of thanks, and also gained a lot of friendship, of course, Xu Taiping did not think that these friendships could bring him anything, if those who were saved by themselves might bring a little thing to themselves, then these ambassadors are impossible, after all, they have risen to the national level.
After getting to know these ambassadors, Xu Taiping drank a little wine with them, after all, this is in the Prime Minister's Office, not a private dinner, everyone is very modest, after drinking, everyone also took a group photo together, as a souvenir, Xu Taiping decided, turn around and hang this group photo on the wall of his company's office, that moment will make his level much higher, after all, the photo is either the ambassador or the chief minister or the prime minister, this ordinary people really can't get together so many people.
After the group photo, the time has come to eight o'clock in the evening, and the closing ceremony of today's Universiade is at half past nine, so at this time, Oda Shinsuke must end today's dinner.
"Xu Sang, you can take the same car with me to the stadium in a while. Oda Shinsuke said.
"No, Mr. Ambassador has already made an appointment with me. Xu Taiping said apologetically.
"That's a shame, but I've already arranged a place for you at the stadium, and you and your Ambassador Lin will be able to find a place when the time comes. Oda Shinsuke said.
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, then found Ambassador Lin and left the Prime Minister's Office with Ambassador Lin.
"Who would have thought that you were expelled from the Olympic Village and now you were in this way at the closing ceremony tonight. Ambassador Lin said to Xu Taiping with a smile.
"So, people live in this world, never look down on anyone, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, if you don't mix well now, it doesn't mean that you won't mix well in the future, even if you don't mix well in the future, then what about the next life?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Are you really going to have dinner with tomorrow flowers tonight?" asked Ambassador Lin.
"Otherwise, Ambassador Lin also knows about Teacher Asunhua?" asked Xu Taiping in surprise.
"Follow the customs, some celebrities on their side, I want to know about them. Ambassador Lin said with a smile.
"Then have you seen her films?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Ahem, ahem... Taiping, don't talk about this kind of thing, there is a recording device in the car. Ambassador Lin whispered.
"Oh, I understand, I understand!" Xu Taiping looked clear.
The car went all the way to the direction of the stadium, because the road was already under martial law, so the speed of the car was very fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at the stadium, and then, Xu Taiping followed Ambassador Lin to enter the stadium through a special passage.
At this time, the stadium was already full.
Xu Taiping originally thought that yesterday's attack would have an impact on today's attendance, but he didn't expect it to have no impact at all!
"The people who came to see the closing ceremony were basically people from the script country. Ambassador Lin said to Xu Taiping as he walked.
"Well, there's no panic on their faces. I thought yesterday's attack would discourage people from coming. Xu Taiping said.
"Aside from the rest, the courage of the people of the foot basin country is very high. Ambassador Lin looked at the people around him and said, "The country of the foot basin used to be our friend, but also became our enemy, and now it has become our friend. โ
"The ambassador is right. Xu Taiping nodded.
"The more I know about this nation, the more wary I become. Ambassador Lin said, "This is a warlike and warlike nation, and we love peace, after the efforts of many people, now the country is a pro-country prime minister in power, acknowledging historical facts, so our two countries have closer exchanges than ever, but... You also saw yesterday's events, if it weren't for the help of right-wing politicians, those people were going to infiltrate the Olympic Village, and it was a massive infiltration, it would have been almost impossible, so... We must not be harmless to others, nor can we be vigilant, and there is a long way to go to maintain such peace. โ
"In fact, there are some voices in the country that are not very good, saying that we are too soft on the footbasin country. Xu Taiping said.
"What do those people know? Since your ancestors, we have been giving grace and power to the footbasin country, so that we have the current situation, and now the footbasin country is pro-China, we can use this as a threshold to block the eastward expansion of the United States, whether from the strategic significance, or more far-reaching historical significance, everything we are doing now can only make China better. The United States has a lot of pens in China. Ambassador Lin said.
"I don't know about this, I have crossed the line if I talk too much, I am just a small businessman. Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"I believe that one day, you will definitely follow in the footsteps of those 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 my life, I don't want to participate in state affairs, I just want to be free for the rest of my life, and whoever doesn't let me get away with it, no matter who it is, I won't let him have a good time. Xu Taiping squinted and said.
"Hahaha. Ambassador Lin laughed.
The two chatted and walked to the position of the group table.
There are high-ranking officials of the Footbasin Country, as well as high-ranking officials of the Olympic Organizing Committee, and even one of the emperor's sons sitting here, which is enough to show the importance that everyone attaches to this closing ceremony.
"The royal family didn't show up at the opening ceremony, and the closing ceremony showed up to show their courage. Ambassador Lin said.
Xu Taiping nodded, then followed behind Ambassador Lin and walked to a position about a meter away from Oda Shinsuke and sat down.
This position is already considered a very central location, even if it is the chief in charge of sports in the foot basin country, it is far inferior to the center of Xu Taiping's sitting.
"Xu San!" Oda Shinsuke beckoned to Xu Taiping from the other person, and 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, then looked at Xu Taiping, and greeted Xu Taiping in Japanese.
The Japanese spoken by this old man is not ordinary Japanese, it uses some grammar of the royal family, and people who can generally speak Japanese can probably understand the meaning, and Xu Taiping has studied Japanese in depth, and he is still very clear about everything the old man said, Xu Taiping hesitated, people use this ancient royal grammar, so do you have to say hello to others in classical Chinese, so as to be able to show your own high quality, but considering that the other party may not understand classical Chinese, Xu Taiping still said hello to the other party in Chinese very bluntlyใ
As soon as he finished greeting the prince, the senior officials of the Olympic Organizing Committee also came to greet Xu Taiping, Xu Taiping responded one by one, and then sat in his place and waited quietly for the opening of the closing ceremony.
With the sound of passionate music, the closing ceremony of the 15-day University Games officially began.
