Golden Greenery

"Hello, Mr. Zhuoyang."

"Hello, Mr. Thomas Feng, welcome to Barcelona."

Thomas Feng smiled slightly: "I'm afraid I'm more familiar with Barcelona than you are, Mr. Zhuoyang, hahaha... Please sit down, Mr. Zhuoyang."

Zhuo Yang sat on the couch and looked at the guy in the side seat with interest, Thomas von Habsburg-Lorraine.

Thomas von, 29 years old, is the eldest grandson of Otto von, the current head of the Habsburg family and Archduke of Habsburg.

Otto von, now 94, married Regina, the exiled princess of the Principality of Saxony-Meiningen, in 1951. They were a couple in need who shared the same fate. After marriage, Regina gave birth to two sons and five daughters, and she worked hard for the prosperity of the family.

Thomas's father is Otto's eldest son Carl von. In addition to one sister and one sister, Thomas also has a younger brother Ferdinand von. The young man likes racing and is determined to be a professional F1 driver.

The head of the family, Otto, was dying. He had made a will ten years ago. After his death, his eldest son Karl would inherit his title and also inherit the Habsburg family. In fact, these ancient nobles did not have a rigid tradition of having an eldest son, and Otto's second son Georg von was obviously more promising than his eldest son Carl von, but the old grand duke still chose his eldest son Karl as his heir.

A very important factor in this: Carl's son Thomas is the most outstanding one among his children and grandchildren!

The old Grand Duke has a very long-term vision. Thomas Feng, who has shown great potential in politics, economy, and social aspects, is the most suitable captain to take the helm in the future. Other younger members of the family do not have his ability.

The old man even felt that Thomas was courageous, responsible, and ambitious, and that he was the person most like him.

When the beauty serving the coffee left and gently closed the door, and only he and Thomas Feng were left in the room, Zhuo Yang took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Mr. Thomas, I would like to know why you, a person who is more familiar with Barcelona than me, are visiting here this time?" I'm very busy, so let's get straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhuoyang, before we get down to business, I want to make a statement first." Thomas said, "I am your admirer, your fan and your music fan. I am very honored to see you today."

"It's an honor, it's an honor for me."

Zhuo Yang vaguely guessed Thomas’s purpose for meeting him.

But he still needs to speak clearly.

Tomorrow, Zhuoyang will leave with the team to Milan Meazza to face his second brother in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. After playing the 33rd round of the league against Espanyol the day before yesterday, Zhuoyang received a call from Thomas Feng. After announcing his home, Thomas Feng invited him to meet today at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Passeig de Gracia in Barcelona, ​​saying that he had something to discuss.

After winning the national derby, Barcelona played two more league games within a week. In the 32nd round, they defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 at home. Zhuo Yang scored a stunning midfielder lob.

But three days later at the El Prat Stadium, an away game five kilometers away from Camp Nou, Barcelona was tied 0:0 by its city rival Espanyol, ending its 14-game winning streak in the league. Real Madrid, which had won two consecutive games, also took the opportunity to narrow the point difference to 4 points.

There are only five rounds left in the league. In fact, the suspense is not over yet, but the Barcelona people probably don't think so.

The reason for the draw with the Spaniards was because Barcelona saved their strength. In the game, Zhuo Yang, Messi, and Xavi did not start. Zhuo Mei only came on as a substitute in the 77th minute, and the game was over before he could make any achievements.

Three days later will be the crucial Champions League semi-finals. This is Barcelona's highest goal this season, and they are determined to win it.

But Zhuoyang was very surprised to receive this call, because except for the Kou Kou family, he had no contact with other direct members of the Habsburg family. However, since he could make a special trip to find him, he must have something to do with Kou Kou, and Zhuo Yang had some concerns in his mind.

Moreover, Thomas Feng mentioned very vaguely on the phone that this visit was just a personal interaction with Zhuo Yang, and he did not want Joseph's family to know about it. Zhuo Yang also wanted to know what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd, so he didn't tell Kou Kou immediately.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Thomas von. However, I really want to know what happened, and it needs to be kept secret from the Austrian Archduke and his family? I am very curious about this."

"That's it, Mr. Zhuoyang." Thomas Feng said: "I am not here to visit you in a personal capacity. I represent the Habsburg-Lorraine family and the head of the Habsburg-Lorraine family. That is my grandfather, His Excellency Otto von, Archduke of Habsburg.”

"Oh, then I'm even more curious. All ears."

"Mr. Zhuo Yang, you are a very outstanding person who has achieved great success in the fields of football and classical music. The Habsburg-Lorraine family expresses their admiration for this." Thomas Feng spoke unhurriedly and his voice Gentleness makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Please accept the respect I express to you on behalf of the Habsburg-Lorraine family and His Excellency the Grand Duke of Habsburg." Then Thomas changed the topic, but it was not abrupt at all. "His Excellency the Grand Duke of Habsburg and the Habsburg-Lorraine family hope that Mr. Zhuoyang can take the initiative to leave Ms. Christine Josephine of the Habsburg-Lorraine family, and hope that Mr. Zhuoyang can take the initiative to end the war. Christine's love. The Habsburg-Lorraine family would be grateful if it could be granted."

Sure enough! Zhuo Yang was prepared in his heart, and after hearing these words, he did not show the slightest panic or confusion.

"Tell me the reason." Thomas Feng admired Zhuo Yang's calmness in his heart.

"Mr. Zhuo Yang, I think you should actually know the reason. For people in our social status, some words are not suitable to be explained. I think you will agree with this. Mr. Zhuo Yang, am I right?"

Zhuo Yang nodded lightly: "Mr. Thomas Feng, you are right. Some words do not need to be explained. Explaining them will be boring and embarrassing."

Zhuo Yang picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Since there is no need to say it clearly, there is no need to hide it. Mr. Thomas Feng, I would like to know who you represent by the 'attitude of the Habsburg-Lorraine family'?"

Thomas Feng nodded again: "To be honest, the attitude I expressed today represents my grandfather, Habsburg Grand Duke Otto Feng. He is the head of the Habsburg-Lorraine family, so he naturally represents The whole family’s opinion.”

"The whole family? Are you sure? Mr. Thomas Feng, a person of your social status must speak calmly and without any flaws."

"Haha, Mr. Zhuoyang, I understand what you mean. In fact, this is the attitude of my grandfather, not the unified opinion of all family members, and naturally it is not the attitude of the Austrian Archduke Frank Joseph and his family. To tell you the truth, this is That’s not my attitude either.”

Yo, this guy is interesting! Zhuo Yang couldn't help but become interested in Thomas von Habsburg-Lorraine in front of him.
