Chapter 154: Trouble Comes to the Door

After the end of the Australian Open, although there were many activities in China that Li Cai wanted to attend, Li Cai refused all other activities except for a press conference held by the Tennis Association.

Because when I was playing at the Australian Open, it was the time of the Chinese New Year.

When Li Cai played in the semifinals of the Australian Open, he was already on the 30th and missed the time to reunite with his family. After the Australian Open final, it was already the fourth day of the New Year, and Li Cai was naturally reluctant to attend boring invitations and celebrations.

Because Li's father and mother are not very busy with work this year, after arranging their work in advance, they all went back to their hometown for the New Year.

And after Li Cai ended the domestic press conference, Li's mother called over.

"Son, we are all going back to our hometown for the Chinese New Year this year, you can fly back to your hometown after the press conference! ”

Li Cai immediately agreed, he didn't like these celebration activities in the first place, and it was enough to participate in a little meaning, so naturally he would not participate in other celebration activities.

After Li Cai finished the press conference, Li Cai said to Director Wang of the Internet Association: "I'm going back to my hometown for the New Year, Director Wang, can you help me get a plane ticket now?"

Director Wang of the Tennis Association already knew that Li Cai had a backstage, and even pushed off two officials who were against Li Cai, so naturally he would not offend Li Cai, not to mention that Li Cai was a national athlete of the country, and he brought a lot of honor to the country in tennis.

Although it is not the peak period to buy tickets for the New Year, it is also difficult to buy tickets temporarily, so it is better to ask Director Wang for help, which is much faster and saves yourself a lot of trouble.

Li Cai wore an invisible ring, and after adjusting it to be visible to his relatives, he flew back alone.

Because Li Cai's hometown is very close to the provincial capital, Li's father, who has nothing to do at home, naturally drove to pick up his son who came back from winning the Australian Open, and after Li Cai got off the plane, he saw Li's father from afar.

Because he knew that his son was a big star, Li's father was naturally low-key, and he would not hold a banner that said, 'Welcome Li Cai to return from winning the championship', after all, this is too conspicuous. And if it is not unexpected, there will be a lot of reporters and Li Cai's fans at the airport in half an hour, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get through by then.

And Dad Li saw that his son didn't hide anything, so he walked over directly, which made Dad Li very worried, afraid that his son would be surrounded, and he wouldn't be able to leave when the time came, and it was very troublesome, but after Li Cai came out, no one recognized him.

This made Dad Li feel very strange.

"What's the matter, can't you see my son, is he face blind? Shouldn't it? Isn't there a fan of my son, let alone impossible! Although tennis is a niche in China, Li Cai is an athlete who has set countless records in domestic men's tennis, and he is also the pride of Asians. ”

Just when Dad Li was puzzled, Li Cai had already come to Dad Li's side.

"Dad, what's the matter, let's go. ”

Seeing his son greet him directly, Dad Li came back to his senses.

Seeing that no one recognized his son, Dad Li felt very angry, if he wasn't worried that there would be too many people to leave, Dad Li wanted to shout out loud to vent his unhappiness.

Many people are a contradiction, there are many celebrities who feel that someone recognizes them, and it is annoying to be surrounded by fans, and when no one recognizes them, they feel very unhappy and feel that they are not popular. And although Dad Li is not a star, he is very doting on his son, his son is one of the top sports stars in China, and no one recognizes him, so Dad Li, who is controlled by his son, naturally feels dissatisfied.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Dad Li still drove immediately and took his son back to his hometown.

When I returned to my hometown, I saw that Li Cai, a big star, was back, and the relatives and elders in the family were all smiling and grinning, and a lot of firecrackers were set off to welcome Li Cai home.

A family of more than 20 people is at home, which can be described as happy and very lively, not at all like in the mansion in Shangjing, which is deserted.

.......

At this time, in the sports bureau of the provincial capital, the horse bureau, as the leader, learned that Li Cai had returned to his hometown, so he wanted to invite Li Cai to attend the celebration party to improve the reputation of the provincial city and let other cities in China know that Li Cai, a tennis genius, went out from their province, because Li Cai went to Beijing to learn Go very early, and after becoming a professional tennis player, many people thought that Li Cai was a native of Beijing, but did not know that he was from Xiangnan Province. This made the leaders of Xiangnan Province very unhappy, there were no sports stars in Xiangnan Province, and after Li Cai, the top sports star in China, came out, the leaders of the provincial capital naturally wanted to ask Li Cai for help to improve the popularity of the provincial capital.

However, Li Cai rarely attends this kind of celebration party, except for the celebration required by the state, he basically has not seen Li Cai attend anything else, and even rarely participates in commercial activities, which makes the horse bureau feel very depressed, and the forced to invite it, and I heard that Li Cai has a backstage and cannot use the means within the system.

In the sports bureau, Wu Qiang frowned when he saw the horse bureau, as a subordinate, after Wu Qiang saw it, he asked cautiously: "Ma Bureau, is something wrong?"

The horse bureau waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just want to invite Li Cai to attend the celebration party held by our Sports Bureau." ”

Wu Qiang was very surprised when he heard this, and blurted out: "Li is what we saved, why haven't we heard of it." ”

When the Ma Bureau heard this, he was even more depressed and said: "Even the subordinates in his own bureau don't know that Li is from our province, let alone others?"

However, for Wu Qiang's problem, the horse bureau still explained: "Although he was not trained in our province, his hometown is from L City, and he is from our province, so all of them are naturally sports stars in our province!"

Ma Qiang listened, and suddenly realized, but he didn't understand why Ma Ju was troubled, although Li is the most famous sports star in China, but it should be easy for Ma Ju to invite Li Cai to attend a celebration party!

After all, this is not a big deal, and attending the celebration party and being able to curry favor with the local leaders will also help Li Cai a lot in the future!

Only a few people know about Li Cai's backstage relationship, and Wu Qiang is just a minor local official, so naturally he will not know Li Cai's tough background.

So, Wu Qiang immediately said: "This matter is simple, just make a phone call and say it! Even if he is the top tennis player in China." Although you can't control him, you can be regarded as a leader! If you offend you, you seek the media to smear him, or even ban him, he will naturally bow his head. ”

Ma Ju glared at Wu Qiang, if he could be invited like this, he would not be worried, not to mention that Li Cai has a background in Shangjing, and if he does things like this, it is estimated that he will be moved to an idle department and go to drink the northwest wind.

"Are you sick and think of me as someone, can you force people to come if they don't want to, as a local official, you must strictly abide by the party's discipline and not abuse your power. ”

Seeing that Ma Ju was indiscriminately preaching to himself, Wu Qiang was stunned, although he didn't understand why, he could only bow his head and admit his mistake. Wu Qiang showed an attitude of admitting his mistakes, but in fact, he said with compassion in his heart: "Damn, you usually do these things less, but now you are saying these things to me, it's really nerve!"

.......

Back home, Wu Qiang's wife Yang Xiu saw her husband looking unhappy, and hurriedly asked, "That's it, I was scolded by the leader." ”

Wu Qiang said irritably: "Don't mention it, the bureau wants to invite Li Cai to attend the celebration party to improve the popularity of the province and city, I said to invite directly, can Li Cai not come? ”

Yang Xiu listened and hurriedly asked, "Is it Li Cai, who just won the Australian Open Grand Slam?"

There are several sports stars in China named Li Cai. Wu Qiang replied impatiently.

Yang Xiu listened. Li Cai has a cousin named Li Qiang, who is in the forestry industry, so it's good to ask me for help during this time, I will tell him when the time comes, and ask him to help talk about this matter, it should be fine." ”

When Wu Qiang heard this, he was naturally very happy, and said to his wife Yang Xiu: "It's really good, the bureau can't invite Li Cai, if he does, he will definitely be valued by the horse bureau at that time." ”

Just do it, Yang Xiu called Li Cai's cousin Li Qiang and asked him for help.

When he learned that asking his cousin Li Cai to attend a celebration party would solve many problems in his career, Li Qiang immediately agreed.

In his opinion, attending the celebration party is very easy, very simple, just a process, Li Cai will definitely help himself with this little favor.

After getting Li Qiang's confirmation, Wu Qiang immediately made a phone call to the Horse Bureau, saying that he knew Li Cai's cousin and was able to invite Li Cai to attend the celebration.

In this way, the horse bureau began to prepare for a celebration party to celebrate Li Cai's victory, and told the whole country that Li Cai was from their Hunan Province.
