Chapter 44: Zhuang Mingge's consternation
"What! You're Laporta?! Joan Laporta Estruchi?! ”
Seeing that the secretary comrade in front of him nodded a little inexplicably, Zhuang Mingge's heart, which had been calmed down, jumped excitedly again.
It turns out that this person is the Laporta who was successfully elected president of Barcelona as an ordinary member in his "memory"? God, you're not playing with me, are you? How can you meet such a bull-level character casually? And such a bullish character appeared in Barcelona in 1994, next to Cruyff, the "Godfather of Barcelona", this shijie is inevitably too small, right?
What makes Zhuang Mingge feel the most strange is that Laporta, who is very good in his "memory", how could he become the "private secretary" of the Dutchman Cruyff? In Zhuang Mingge's limited memory of Laporta, he knows that this native Catalan has an infinite love for Barcelona FC, and Laporta seems to have worked in a certain department of Barcelona FC for a period of time. It is still possible to say that he and Cruyff are colleagues, but the clear and intimate master-slave relationship between the two people he saw in front of him is beyond the imagination of Zhuang Mingge, an "outsider".
This kind of thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with the so-called "butterfly effect", right? Is it just because of a certain coincidence that these two people accidentally intersected together? No wonder Laporta received strong support from the Dutch when he ran for the presidency of Barcelona, who would have thought that there would be such a relationship between them?
These complicated thoughts flashed quickly in Zhuang Mingge's mind, although he did not come to a reasonable conclusion, but he also knew that it was useless to think too much on such an occasion - the opportunity was rare, so it was better to observe the performance of this "bullfork-level" character.
"Ahh......h Well, if we have a chance in the future, we should definitely get closer to each other. ”
Zhuang Mingge thought that there was no false element in his greeting of Laporta, but before contacting him, he "exclaimed" after recognizing the latter's "real body", and now Zhuang Mingge's polite "greeting" method is extraordinarily grand.
"Well, honorable President Antonio Corleone, have you seen me before? Or have you been to Barcelona before? ”
Just as the young Laporta was quite self-aware of his surprise, the other three in the office couldn't help but have strange expressions on their faces.
Among them, the surprise of the old man Cruyff is the most obvious - the old Dutch man is probably still depressed about this: anyway, I am also a football king who can compete with Beckenbauer, why is it that the young Fiorentina owner in front of me is more "excited" to see my secretary than to see me, the "football king"? That's too spoof, isn't it?
Except for Cruyff, who was psychologically devastated by unexpected surprise, the expressions of the two "own people" Antonioni and Karin looked much more natural. Chief scout Brajda, as always, is amazed by the young boss's strong memory and ability to recognize people. As for Karin, she has long been surprised by her childhood sweetheart's ability in this regard, and the only "surprise" is just that she is a little curious about Zhuang Mingge's "fancy" of such an unknown young secretary. Karin wanted to know if Zhuang Mingge, who didn't know which nerve had been twitched this time, wanted to "fool" this young secretary who was probably unlucky because of his obscurity.
However, in the face of a look of surprise and curiosity, Zhuang Mingge felt that he really couldn't bear it. Zhuang Mingge, who realized it later, realized that he had made another stupid and low-level mistake: how can I explain the extremely "abnormal" enthusiasm that Weishenme himself showed for Laporta, who is still a small role?
With Laporta's current identity and status, the normal situation should be "he knows me and I don't know him", but now he is more excited than him when he meets for the first time, doesn't he dig a hole for himself and jump in? How can this "pit" be justified? In terms of identity and status, there should be no intersection with this kid; In terms of personal wealth, Laporta is a poor ghost. What is there to do with him? Undertaking? How can an obscure little secretary be compared to himself as the president of Florence; Family? In this regard, Comrade Laporta fell in love with a rich woman, and the family was harmonious...... That's right! It's that rich woman, Laporta's wife!
In the blink of an eye, Zhuang Mingge finally thought of some kind of "connection" with Laporta, and hurriedly explained:
"Well, Mr. Laporta, of course this is the first time we've met, but don't be surprised that I know your name, eh...... In fact, it's thanks to your wife, Constanza, well, I used to hear your name from her. ”
"Oh, I see." Although he got an answer from the other party, Laporta always felt that there was something wrong with Zhuang Mingge's words, "Huh? What does Chairman Corleone mean that you and my wife have known each other for a long time? ”
Laporta, who was not sluggish in some ways, quickly figured out what was wrong with Zhuang Mingge's words: the young Florentine boss said that he had known his wife for a long time, what was this called! The son of this big family actually said that he was very familiar with my wife? Could it be that I, Laporta, am also unlucky enough to become a "cuckold"? Oh, Shet, the people who are "remembered" by these boys can still be good, this guy can't have told me the news on purpose, right?
Zhuang Mingge didn't know that his casual explanation had made poor Mr. Laporta have such rich associations, if he knew that the latter could still have such "resentment", he would definitely re-evaluate the powerful influence that his "son" could have.
……
Zhuang Mingge took it for granted that Laporta's "abnormality" when he was mentioned to love his wife was from an aspiring hot-blooded young man who was attached to the shadow of a strong woman by mistake, resulting in "habitual" inferiority. Zhuang Mingge, who had this kind of thought, comforted the man with "inferiority":
"It's all right, Mr. Laporta, although your wife has done a good job in her own business, I am sure that you will far surpass her in the future." Hey, it seems that this kind of comfort has no effect, looking at Laporta's brows, damn he won't think so, right?
The embarrassment and misunderstanding that was originally a little bigger had signs of quietly "expanding" at this time, but fortunately, Karin was present - the secretary of the bystander Qing, in Chinese that no one could understand except Zhuang Mingge, made the "foreigners" present stare dryly, and also made Zhuang Mingge completely see the current situation from the fog: it turns out that Laporta, this kid, is also a master who likes to eat his wife's "dry vinegar"!
"Well, I said, I know Mr. Laporta's wife, what's so strange about that? In recent years, Japanese companies have often come to Italy to promote their own players, so I have often heard the employees of these Japanese companies mention the name of Constanzas, and it is said that of all the European agency business they have commissioned, Ms. Constanza is said to have done the best of the best...... Well, you know the shrewd Japanese who were always trying to get the talk of football in order to seek cooperation with our Italian clubs...... So I was lucky enough to get to know that Ms. Constanza, who happens to have a wonderful husband who works at a big club like Barcelona, and that's the way it is! ”
Huh, I've finally made up this story, and this kind of nonsense in the future is not something that a good young man like me in the new century did! Zhuang Mingge wiped the fine sweat oozing from his head, and said in his heart if anyone came out to expose this matter......
In front of Laporta, who has "inferiority", his own "confession" is a must, and it is good to "educate" the other party, and the tone must be reasonable.
Who is Laporta's wife? That's a super strong woman who made a fortune completely by reselling large and small import and export products, as far as Zhuang Mingge knows himself, that is, his "predecessor", his attitude towards this kind of woman is unavoidable (in fact, it is the psychological shadow caused by Karin).
After Zhuang Mingge's long "explanation", the "bystanders" with nervousness, concern, and curiosity with various different mentalities all breathed a sigh of relief, and Cruyff, who was the most experienced in this area, also put on the shelf of the "senior", patted Laporta's shoulder, and haode "educated" his secretary, so that Jiashi seemed to be telling the other party: Why did you kid not grow up so much, don't you just have a wife who can do better than you, and you don't have to be inferior to this!
Getting rid of the entanglement on the issue of women, the "poor" Laporta, together with Karin and others, began to enter a tense busyness over the signing of Barcelona's players to GM agents.
This important work is naturally indispensable for the participation of Zhuang Mingge, one of the "initiators". However, when he returned to the hotel where he was staying, he had a detailed conversation with Antonioni, who had come with him to Barcelona, in his hotel room. Not for anything else, just because when he said goodbye to Cruyff, Zhuang Mingge thought about it again and again but didn't ask a question for a long time.
Zhuang Mingge originally wanted to ask whether Cruyff himself thought about becoming the new president of Barcelona.
However, now it seems that with the presence of Laporta by his side, some things are self-explanatory.
