The next morning, Wang Ai also wanted to communicate with Xu Qinglian about her changes. Xu Qinglian, who was immersed in work, just waved her hand and told him to roll back to London to attend the opening ceremony.

Wang Ai, who had been a tool man once, was angry and helpless. People were pushing their work according to his plan, so he couldn't slap himself in the face, so he had to go out with a baggage.

Fortunately, a few hours later, the raging atmosphere of the London Olympics infected him, and the rare enthusiasm of Londoners who were accustomed to the cold, could be seen everywhere in the city streets cheering for the Olympics. Wang Ai drove through the streets and alleys to the Chinese delegation's residence in the Olympic Village. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the Chinese ping-pong delegation preparing to go to the training hall. He was a handsome guy with a round head and a round brain. The nose was not the nose, the face was not the face. : "How did you get in?"

"London Olympic Organizing Committee invited me here!" Wang Ai triumphantly: "At that time I will be sitting in the stands, and you will be wailing underneath, see who is tired!"

Wang Hao, who had always been unable to win the quarrel, turned his head and summoned reinforcements: "Director Liu, do you care if there is a troublemaker?"

Liu Guoliang waved his hand grandiosely: "I can't control it, you can find that... Oh, Xiao Zhang is retired, it's over, our big devil is not there."

The two sides exchanged enthusiastic greetings for a while. The face of this national table tennis team has changed a lot. The previous session was a combination of Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, and Wang Hao. This year, it became Ma Long, Xu Xin, Wang Hao, and Zhang Jike. For the women's team, Zhang Yining, Guo Yue, Wang Nan, and Li Xiaoxia were the last team. Guo Yue and Li Xiaoxia were the only ones who insisted in this session. Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen and Wang Ai didn't know each other.

After a while, the two sides parted, Guoping went to train, and Wang Ai went upstairs to visit Director Gou and other delegation leaders. Although he came as an audience, he also hung a name in the Chinese delegation for the convenience of entering and exiting. Of course, Wang Ai is not a local snake in London, but there is also a good social circle. In case of any official inconvenience, Wang Ai may achieve miraculous results if he goes to coordinate. They are all at the top of the ball. No matter how they smile, their energy is amazing. At least in this three-square-acre area of ​​London, few delegations can surpass him.

In addition, the 2000 yuan given to him by the Chinese Olympic Organizing Committee every day, Wang Aike has received! Although it is a bit shabby compared to the £270,000 of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, but at the level of Director Gou, he cannot receive such a high subsidy on business trips in China. This is because Wang Ai is a public figure and a star. The dressing needs include clothing costs. The money is of course not paid by the state for his honeymoon, but for him to appear on various occasions according to the needs of his superiors. To be specific, there is a particular focus on what games to watch, where to go, and who to meet.

In the past, China had Yao Ming and Wang Ai standing side by side. Even if the influence of basketball was only one-tenth of football, they were also famous in the international professional arena. But after Yao Ming retired two years ago, Chinese male athletes, especially those with extensive international influence and many supporters, were left with Brother Wang Ai.

It just so happened that there was no big competition for the Chinese national team this summer, and Wang Ai also accepted the invitation of the London Olympic Organizing Committee to be a torchbearer, and may also accept a combined VIP ticket. So the Chinese Olympic Organizing Committee wondered whether it’s coming anyway, right? Do more, something easy? Wang Ai also agreed. The Olympic Organizing Committee gave him 2,000 yuan a day and he also wanted it. This is not a polite thing. Only when the money goes to Wang Ai’s salary card in the Football Association, can the organization confirm that you really accept it. Got this job.

So after meeting Director Gou, Wang Ai listened to the leader's admonishment face to face and accepted the work arrangement. While walking downstairs, Wang Ai glanced through this form. The arrangement of the superior was not nervous, and he was given a lot of choices every day, taking into account China's superior projects and unpopular projects. At other times, there was no arrangement. There was only one sentence: keep. The phone is open.

Wang Ai knows this naturally. The frontal competition in the arena is of course easy to handle. The rules one, two and three are clear. Even if there is a conspiracy, there are limits. After all, it is under the camera. However, the offending methods outside the arena are not easy to handle. Although this method is not very lethal, it is often very disgusting. The grinning old bureaucrats came and walked you through the program slowly. When the program is over, the other party will make enough noise. You don't have any use but to get comfort, so you need the natives. The indigenous people have their own methods, don’t care if you can get it on the table or not, you are sure to get it done cleanly. However, the indigenous people often consider political influence and do not match your accent. For example, Terry and Lampard will never give you face to the Chinese delegation. In this way, Wang Ai’s role is shown. He really wants to come to the door to trust the relationship. The outside world can only comment on the relationship between these former teammates and the long-lasting friendship. Even if they have to exchange interests, they can only say that. Otherwise, it will provoke the fans, and everyone will have a headache.

It's just that, Wang Ai greeted the passing athletes while going downstairs. He still had a lot of regret in his heart. As a young and vigorous athlete, the bigger role should be on the field rather than off the field.

Going out and boarding the car, heading to the apartment on the south bank of the Thames, Wang Ai was silent all the way. Zhao Dan, Su Shi, and Li Jun all understood the depression in Wang Ai's heart and did not speak, until the time of departure at night, Wang Ai's mood It's better.

The organizer arranged a good location for Wang Ai. Not far away is the politician's site. The seats are wide and not as crowded as other seats. It's just that guests at his level cannot bring bodyguards. This makes Wang Ai a little uncomfortable. Wang Ai has become accustomed to having at least two guards accompanying him whenever and wherever he is. He is abruptly alone, which makes Wang Ai very insecure, even though he knows the security level of the big people next to him. It is also the highest, but still a little fidgeting.

Fortunately, the opening ceremony was quite exciting. I lived in London for more than two years. I have a deep understanding of the history of Britain, especially London, and I can see that the British Empire at sunset has tried its best to show off its beautiful feathers. From history to reality, from classic to popular, the design is also very clever, but...

Wang Ai secretly compared it in his heart. On the whole, he was not as good as the BJ Olympic opening ceremony. The majestic, colorful, and thriving spiritual temperament could not be compared. But it's not bad. It is a developed country with historical accumulation. I just don't know what will happen to the Rio Olympics opening ceremony in four years. It is said that funding is tight. Anyway, the more historical good things can be displayed. The more, the greater the international influence, the more people can understand, and the better the response.
