Golden Greenery

Chapter 36 Pride, Prejudice and Implications

It was almost late at night, Zhuoyang made an appointment with Kaka and Ronaldo to finish dinner with Haiyang, but he still didn't understand why Buffon scolded him. The two families share a stadium, AC Milan plays the home game, and Inter Milan naturally goes to the away game, otherwise the meal would not be complete without the second brother and coffee.

Just now in the visiting team locker room at San Siro, Zhuoyang was about to use force against Juventus, but was stopped by his teammates who came over after hearing the sound. Maldini and Favalli dragged him back. Before leaving, the Cavaliers told Del Piero and Buffon: Don't mind, Zhuoyang has a bad temper, let's get over it.

Back in the locker room, Maldini said with a sullen face: "Zhuoyang, what are you doing?"

"What? Paul, do you think I'm being stupid too?"

Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso, Ambrosini, Inzaghi, and Nesta all came to comfort him, but they always said don't hold back for trivial matters on the court, that's pretty much it.

Seeing this, Zhuoyang didn't say much. In fact, he didn't want to beat Buffon, he just wanted to ask clearly: Why did you scold me?

It is obvious that Buffon has a good reputation externally, and his popularity in Italian football and the Italian national team is even more exaggerated. Since his debut, Buffon has been a fastidious person. He is polite and upright on and off the court. He is civilized and polite. He talks about four virtues and three loves eight honors and eight disgraces.

Off the court as well, he is gentle and courteous to others. Racial discrimination has never been associated with him, and Buffon has never had any misdeeds in this regard. What their family doesn't pay attention to is his unconventional wife Alena. Buffon has always been a good man and a gentleman.

The conflicts that occurred on the field were just trivial disturbances, which are all too common in football matches. The turmoil in the locker room after the game was not known to outsiders. With the relationship between the two clubs currently cautiously recovering, Juventus also promised Braida not to pursue Zhuoyang's "rudeness".

The post-match selection was quite interesting. In a dull and boring game, Zhuo Yang and Buffon's offense and defense were the only bright spots. Buffon blocked AC Milan and Zhuo Yang succeeded in all nine shots before and after, scoring 7.5 points in the game. The latter score was the highest of the two teams, with Zhuoyang ranking second with 7.4 points.

Buffon was named the best on the spot, but Zhuo Yang was the best in this round. It looked strange.

The best of the game must be scored after the game, but the best of this round is not easy to compare horizontally. Zhuoyang was awarded the best of this round by the Italian Football Association Competition Committee for his fair play behavior in the game.

Of course, some media also mentioned the conflict on the field. Naturally, they thought Zhuo Yang, who had a bad record, was getting angry and provoking again, thinking that a yellow card was really an advantage for him. But when those media who were biased towards Juventus called for additional punishment for Zhuo Yang, everyone was surprised to find that Zhuo Yang, who had committed many crimes last season like red and yellow cards and was suspended for as many as eight games throughout the season, and Juventus Si's yellow card turned out to be the first since the start of the new season.

As a result, in the eyes of people in Serie A, Zhuo Yang has undoubtedly become a mixture of angel and devil. He is neither good nor evil, good and evil, and can only be called a demon!

Back to that night.

The ocean is in Italy, so Zhuo Yang naturally wants to find time to invite a few nodding faces to accompany him, but this is not his Fort Madi, so it is not appropriate to alarm the whole team. Moreover, the team and Haiyang are very busy, and they can only have some time after playing Juventus for the whole day. In order to take care of the live broadcast of the East Asian side, the game is scheduled to start at 3 p.m.

What the ocean means is that just three or two people can chat while eating. It's not like you in Hannover where you can drink freely and don't make a big scene. So, based on the principle of proximity, Zhuoyang invited Kaka and Ronaldo from the shores of Lake Como.

These two faces would be enough anywhere in the world.

Although Haiyang could only hold a position as a translator in an overseas economic and trade company because of his junior qualifications, he was actually working as an assistant to the general manager, and he was considered a figure in the company's well-staffed organization.

After arriving in Italy, Haiyang fully participated in the negotiations related to mergers and acquisitions. As for the actual translation work, some people did it. It is very interesting for Haiyang to deal with foreigners, because he has a strong sense of Han chauvinism deep in his heart, and even populist and racist tendencies, so Haiyang will always show some arrogance involuntarily when negotiating with foreigners.

But the foreigner just did his thing!

Many Chinese, especially those born before the 1980s, no matter how domineering they are at home, they will deliberately try to be polite and even cautious when going abroad. The reasons for this situation include, firstly, the "ceremonial country" education received since childhood, and secondly, mainly because the country's bumpy fortunes for more than a hundred years have made the Chinese people have a sense of awe in the face of "white supremacy", which is actually an inferiority complex.

But people are so mean. The more polite you are, the more he will look down on you. If you are always polite, he always thinks he can defeat you. Over time, the Chinese have become a group of people deliberately ridiculed and looked down upon by the West, and Chinese Americans have the lowest status among many ethnic groups. In fact, just looking at the proportion, the Chinese ethnic group has a lot of talented people, far higher than other ethnic groups.

In Europe and the United States, white people dare not bully, black people cannot bully, people with torn blue clothes cannot be touched, Latinos are not easy to mess with, and even Gypsies have a bad reputation. There is no psychological barrier to bullying Chinese and Chinese people.

All this is caused by low-key modesty.

Haiyang's deep-seated arrogance can cure these diseases. The words he speaks are also modest and normal, but his tone and body language reveal confidence and arrogance all the time. The words from the mouth can only enter the other person's ears, but the things in the bones can penetrate into the other person's bones. In a negotiation involving Haiyang, the other party will soon be at a disadvantage, and he can't help but smile with his face.

Of course, facing Zhuoyang's friends and popular players in the football circle like Ronaldo and Kaká, Haiyang did not need to show off his arrogance. Instead, he dominated the topic with his well-informed and eloquent tongue.

Everyone always wants to ask Zhuo Yang what happened with Buffon today. There is no need for these people to hide it, Zhuo Yang will tell the truth. Kaka and Ronaldo were surprised: "Isn't Buffon such a person?"

"Could it be that I'm lying?" Zhuo Yang curled his lips.

"No! Of course not." Kaka and Ronaldo naturally believed in Zhuo Yang.

"Then I don't understand." Kaka said: "What does Buffon want to do? You haven't offended him!"

"Hey, it's hard to say, they Italians have such bad character." Ronaldo has been in Serie A for longer: "It's all fucking pretending, but Italians are actually bad at heart."

"I'm really a loser. I don't care if he scolds me a few times. I'll probably give him a beating when I have free time. But I have to figure out why he scolded me? It's so damn weird."

Haiyang has not expressed an opinion on this matter, but watched the three of them analyze it with interest. But on the way back to the villa with Zhuoyang after dinner, Haiyang finally couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed so hard that he almost died laughing.

After he had laughed enough, and Zhuo Yang's hair stood on end from his laughter, Haiyang said slowly: "Zhuoyang, I know why Buffon scolded you. I can't say to outsiders just now."

"You've been hurt by me."
