Chapter 118 Canceling nationality and new bet
"Sorry sir, your passport cannot be used!" Li Zhao and others went to register the information before departure, but were stopped by the staff responsible for verification.
"How could that be?" Li Zhao obviously didn't believe the staff's words and asked for verification again.
However, the result after repeated authentication was still the same, and Li Zhao finally confirmed that his passport could no longer be used.
"Is it because my passport has passed the review period? No, I obviously feel that it still has at least half a year!" With this question, Li Zhao and Li Ruolan came to the local embassy of country C.
After inspection by the embassy staff, they found that the problem was not here, but that there was now only Portugal information in Li Zhao's nationality column.
"How is this possible? Did your embassy not register my information, or is there something wrong with the system?" Li Zhao still couldn't believe the results of such an investigation.
"Mr. Li, I am Qin Yu, assistant ambassador to the Embassy of Country C in Sao Paulo." A dignified man in a suit walked up to Li Zhao.
"Hello, Assistant Qin! I really have troubled you today." Li Zhao said politely. If this matter is not resolved, he really won't be able to feel at ease.
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. Speaking of which, I am also a fan of yours. If you don't mind how older I am, you can just call me Brother Qin." Qin Yu was also very enthusiastic towards him.
"Okay, this matter is still troublesome for Brother Qin." Li Zhao did not reject Qin Yu's approach, and Li Ruolan also expressed his dedication.
"I have reviewed your situation, because it just happened this morning, so it was so unexpected for most people.
I am also surprised that this happened. In my estimation, it should be the work of a certain big shot. But the fact now is that you have indeed lost your nationality in country C. Forgive me for my helplessness. In this case, if you still
If you want to return to your country, you can only do so as a tourist. The only thing I can do to help you now is to extend the foreigner’s entry and stay time as much as possible. With my current authority, the most I can do is to
This period has been increased to one year at a time." Qin Yu said.
"Thank you, I'll think about it again, you can go ahead and do your work first!" Li Zhao responded politely.
"Well, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you for now. If you have any other questions later, you can contact me by phone!" Before leaving, Qin Yu handed another one to Li Zhao and Li Ruolan respectively.
His own business card. As the ambassador's assistant of the embassy, he has to deal with many things every day and does not have much time to spend here.
"What an irony! Yesterday I was proud of my little achievements, but today I was slapped in the face. You really can't sneer, otherwise God will make you uncomfortable. It seems that this is what Guo Bin and I
It's such a big trouble." After sitting down on the steps in front of the embassy, Li Zhao couldn't help but murmured to himself. He had no interest in returning to China at the moment, but was lost in thought.
"I just received a message from Xiao Sa. She has made a new discovery and is on her way over now." Li Ruolan said.
Li Zhao nodded silently.
After a while, Dolsa also arrived and found them at the gate of the embassy.
"Really, such a big thing happened. Fortunately, not many people knew about it, and no one deliberately made it public. Otherwise, if the family knew about it, they would be in trouble!" Dole
Sa said this as soon as they met, and then handed over a printed document.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault for making you worry." Li Zhao responded.
He didn't pay attention at first, but after taking the document and reading it, his face completely darkened.
This document is a notice sent from China. It does not contain much content. It only explains that there were problems with Li Zhao’s nationality review of country C a few years ago. The relevant personnel who handled the matter have also been punished and have been transferred.
Position. Since the government of country C does not allow dual nationality, Li Zhao’s nationality of country C was canceled. The result was handled and issued in such a simple way without notifying Li Zhao himself in advance.
Now that I think about it, there is indeed someone behind this, and this person is also a higher-level being than the Guo family. The issue of Li Zhao's nationality is also a big deal. In fact, it has already been caught by the other party. The reason why it has not been used before is just
It hasn't reached that point yet.
The other party's handling method was relatively low-key and did not publish the matter on any domestic website or newspaper. Otherwise, the pressure from public opinion would be very great. The most serious controversy was Li Zhao's performance in the Asian Youth Championship and the World Youth Championship.
How to calculate the results achieved during this period, and whether to retain or cancel them, will seriously affect the reputation of the entire national team.
"So, I am no longer from Country C!" Li Zhao felt a little helpless in his heart, but more angry, but he behaved very calmly.
Li Ruolan understands Li Zhao very well. The calmer he seems to be, the greater the twists and turns in his heart. He can face various other revenge methods from his opponents, but he has never thought of such a situation. But on this issue, he is the one
The most intolerable.
"The other party's handling method is very clever. It can't even be regarded as a conspiracy. It is completely different from the Guo family's method against you in the past, so you should be careful." Li Ruolan reminded.
"Do you know who did it?" Li Zhao actually had a vague answer in his mind, but he couldn't confirm it yet.
"Don't you already feel it?"
Li Ruolan glanced at him worriedly, and then said after clearing her mind: "Actually, things are not as bad as you think. There may be a chance to save it, but it will definitely cause you a lot of trouble in a period of time.
.The simplest and most effective way is to fight with public opinion. I believe that the general public will be on your side. Although you have a greater chance of winning, you will definitely end up breaking up with the other party in the end, and it is likely to cause them to be more hostile.
Revenge. I think the other party may also know this situation, so they chose this way of handling it."
Doersa also nodded. For this kind of discussion, although her thoughts were inferior to Li Ruolan's, her reaction was not slow at all.
"Then what do you think we should do? Can we just let it go like this?" Li Zhao's heart was already in a mess.
At this moment, Li Zhao's cell phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID showed a name that surprised them both - Xiao Nai.
"Hey, how are you, Fourth Brother!" Li Zhao said after trying his best to calm down his emotions.
"Brother, it's really hard for you!" Xiao Nai's voice seemed a little low, obviously because of what he had just experienced.
"Fourth brother, do you already know?" Li Zhao said. He believed that with the other party's ability, he would get the news earlier than himself.
"It's true. Speaking of which, it was my eldest brother who caused this matter. My eldest brother's actions are not comparable to that incompetent boy from the Guo family. Now he has also walked from behind the scenes to the stage. You ran away with his bride.
, he has been tolerant enough that he only started to take revenge now.
But you don’t have to worry too much. Although he doesn’t want to deal with you, he doesn’t disdain those dirty tricks. If he wants to engage in an upright conspiracy, he won’t do anything too outrageous with me mediating.
When something happens, I will try my best to control it within a certain range." Xiao Nai directly explained the source of this incident.
"So is this the result of your mediation? You should know what this means to me. I have tolerated other things, but I can't ignore this matter. I will use my own method to get it again
If I can't answer all this, I will bring this matter to the media. I believe the public's eyes are sharp." Li Zhao, however, had no intention of compromising. This was a big deal for him.
"Listen brother, I know you are very excited now, and I don't want to see this happen. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped it. But now that it has happened, this is the only way for the time being. The method you just mentioned
It can indeed play a certain role, but it may push things in another uncertain direction. By then, both parties will be unable to step down, and it will be difficult to remedy the situation.
But it’s not that there is no room for slowing down the matter, it just requires a process. For this reason, I made a new bet with him. This bet also bets on our future future and destiny! I won.
Everything is easy to say, and he will withdraw from the future battle for the head of the Xiao family; if he loses, it will really be over for both of us.
The subject of the bet is whether you can continuously win the two highest honors in football, club and country, in the next four years. The key depends on whether you can live up to your expectations," Xiao Nai explained.
"Fourth brother, you think too highly of me. Such a decision is too hasty! I may still have hope in the club, but in the country, haha, is it still possible for me now? And even in the original, do you think it is just based on
Is it possible to have a situation like this with National Team C? If you want to mess with me, just say so, why bother eliminating me like this!" Li Zhao said angrily.
Li Zhao's cell phone was on speakerphone, so Li Ruolan naturally heard their conversation, but she heard the underlying meaning and said hurriedly: "Fourth brother, based on what I know about him, is there any other alternative?"
?”
"My adopted sister is here too! That saves me a lot of trouble." Xiao Nai continued: "There is indeed an alternative, which is to win the highest honors at the continental level for clubs in two different regions, such as the Libertadores Cup champion and the Champions League champion.
.
But I don't think it's necessary. In fact, things may become simpler now, because you can also join the Portuguese team. In fact, if this matter goes well in the end, it may not be a bad thing for you in retrospect.
I know what you are worried about, and there will definitely be trolls, but you really don’t have to take certain formal things too seriously.”
"What do you mean by this? Hey!~" Li Zhao was still waiting to ask, but found that Xiao Nai had hung up the phone. He was about to call back, but was stopped by Li Ruolan.
"Stop calling, he won't answer. He has made some things clear enough," Li Ruolan said.
"Okay, my mind is still a little confused right now and I need time to think about it carefully," Li Zhao said.
"I want to fly to the sky and be side by side with the sun..." Li Zhao's cell phone ringtone suddenly rang again. After singing in KTV that night, he changed his cell phone ringtone to this song "I Believe".
