Su Fangfei glanced at the retreating figure, then looked at Su Muxue and asked, "Are you very close to Sean?"
Su Muxue shook her head, "Actually, not that close. We're just regular classmates."
Hearing this, Su Fangfei immediately pinched Su Muxue's ribs, gritting her teeth and whispering, "Then why were you chatting about all that nonsense with him?!"
"Ah It hurts, it hurts"
Su Muxue let out a surprised cry, then quickly reacted and whimpered in pain.
Su Fangfei released her hand, annoyed.
Su Muxue hissed, taking in a cool breath, "Auntie, what are you doing? We weren't close before, but now that we've chatted, aren't we familiar?"
Su Fangfei snorted coldly, saying nothing more.
Su Muxue's eyes darted around, and she leaned in, whispering, "Auntie, why do I feel like you think highly of Sean?" She even eavesdropped on our conversation!
Su Fangfei shot her a sidelong glance, "Of course I think highly of him. You know the status of sports stars in Europe and America, don't you?
Even if you didn't, seeing how enthusiastic those foreigners are about Sean should tell you something.
Our family wants to expand our business in Europe, and I wonder if we can leverage Sean's influence."
"Oh~" Su Muxue responded, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll make sure to build a good relationship with him."
Su Fangfei lightly tapped her niece's forehead with her index finger, "Where's your intelligence?
Can't we have normal business interactions?
Can't we invite him to events?
Are we short of the money to invite him?
Do we need to exhaust the meager classmate bond between you two?
However~"
Su Fangfei pondered for a moment, "Tell me, what is Sean's character like?"
This matter is related to the depth of their cooperation. If Sean is a 'firecracker,' while cooperation is possible, it's better to maintain some distance.
Su Muxue looked up and thought for a moment, "I didn't pay much attention to him before. I only knew he was a bit... solitary?
The girls used to discuss him behind his back, saying that although he looked handsome, he always felt a bit weak and lacked charm.
Seeing him today, I found he's changed a lot.
Perhaps his career has improved; he looks radiant and much more confident. He finally lives up to his looks.
It's just that~
His worldview seems to be different from ordinary people!
But then again, I've never seen him look down on Chinese people like other Chinese diaspora, nor have I heard him say any strange remarks.
Oh, right, I didn't even realize it! Earlier, I greeted him in Dutch, and he replied in Chinese. We just kept communicating like that. I didn't expect his Chinese to be so good, it doesn't sound like a foreign language at all!"
"Oh~" Su Fangfei thought for a moment, then nodded, "That's even better, no problem at all!"
Looking at Sean again, Su Fangfei saw Ambassador Chen introducing more people to him, which made her feel even more at ease.
The person Ambassador Chen introduced this time was Gao Jie, Director of the China Health Qigong Association.
Director Gao planned to promote health qigong in Netherlands.
This also falls under cultural exchange between the two countries, and the embassy naturally provided strong assistance.
The preparatory work proceeded smoothly, and the Netherlands Health Qigong Association had even been established.
Director Gao, of course, saw Sean's popularity in Netherlands and wanted to invite him to be a promotional ambassador. However, funds were limited, and the promotional fee paid to Sean might not be much.
Sean was not unfamiliar with health qigong; it was just practices like Baduanjin and Jingang Gong. In his later life, he had even practiced Baduanjin.
There were too many versions, and Sean in his later life just casually learned from videos.
Perhaps he learned too casually, and the effects were not as significant as advertised.
However, at least it had the effect of stretching muscles and bones; he indeed felt comfortable all over after doing it.
Presumably, as long as the movements weren't too far off, there would be no side effects.
Given this, Sean naturally readily agreed.
This was not just helping fellow compatriots, but also for the health of the people of Netherlands, right?
Since that was the case, the fee was waived; it would count as participating in a public welfare activity.
However, there was one condition: Sean's time was limited. He could grant them his portrait rights for promoting health qigong, but he would not participate in their promotional activities.
Furthermore, they would have to teach him some real skills.
Director Gao was very pleased and quickly agreed.
Coincidentally, Sean still had half a day off tomorrow morning, so the two agreed to have the teaching, photos, and videos taken tomorrow morning.
Ambassador Chen was also very happy, feeling that Sean had given him a lot of face, and became even more enthusiastic towards Sean.
There was nothing serious to do after that.
It was nothing more than various beauties approaching him to chat and brush up against him.
Sean endured it with great difficulty; if it weren't for the inappropriate setting, he might have taken advantage of one of them... The next morning, Director Gao personally brought two experts and a production crew to the appointment, and the teaching began in a small park near Sean's home.
Sean understood the principle of 'less is more'; learning just one set of Baduanjin would suffice.
Director Gao also didn't insist and presented a set of Baduanjin that didn't require horse stance or twisting knees. However, the details of the force application and the corresponding breathing methods for this set of movements were exceptionally complex.
Therefore, Director Gao gave Sean a heads-up in advance, telling him to be prepared to spend the entire morning on it.
Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, Sean had already mastered it very proficiently, performing it with flowing grace.
Director Gao secretly sighed, "As expected of a sports genius, he learns everything quickly!"
Sean didn't feel anything special. After integrating various attributes, Sean's control over his body greatly increased. If it weren't for the in-depth study of the breathing techniques, with just the movements, he might have learned it in one go.
Having ample time always has its benefits.
Sean also learned Jingang Gong and a set of Liu Zi Jue under Director Gao's enthusiastic recommendation.
Director Gao then directed the production crew to film a full set of Sean before ending the teaching assignment, still wanting more... On February 2nd, in the 21st round of the Eredivisie, Ajax hosted Utrecht.
Utrecht was a typical Eindhoven-affiliated team.
At this critical moment, with Ajax and Eindhoven tied for first place in the League, Utrecht's performance was predictable.
They employed dense and aggressive defense with masterful skill.
In the first half alone, Ajax was awarded seven free kicks and three corner kicks.
Unfortunately, they failed to break through Utrecht's goal.
The annoying Utrecht naturally drew boos from the entire Cruyff Arena.
In the 5th minute of the second half, Sean and Bojan swapped positions, and Sean received the ball on the left flank, just outside the penalty area.
Sean looked at Bojan, who was running towards the edge of the penalty area, and pushed the ball with his left foot.
Utrecht's defensive midfielder, Ayoub, quickly stretched out his leg to intercept.
Sean's left toe brushed the bottom of the ball, then he brought it forward, using his left instep to flick the ball past Ayoub and burst into the box.
"F*ck!" Ayoub cursed under his breath, hurriedly turning, but his balance and agility were insufficient, his body didn't obey, and he fell directly onto the turf.
Sean took a step forward and struck the ball with his left foot.
Fortunately, Utrecht's formation was dense enough, and the left center-back, Delpierre, launched himself into a tackle in front of Sean.
Sean's left foot, however, suddenly applied force, dribbling the ball behind Delpierre and cutting inside towards the goal.
The rest of Utrecht's players were marking Bojan, Sean, and others who had surged into the box, leaving no one to challenge Sean.
Facing the charging goalkeeper, Sean shot with his right foot.
The ball went straight into the far corner of the goal.
Ajax 1:0 Utrecht.
"GOAL!"
"Sean, it's Sean again!"
"Sean's so-called goal drought lasted only one match. Back at home, he immediately gave his team the lead with a goal full of individual heroism."
"He truly is a home field dragon!"
