970 Boss Zi, What Do You Think About Our Skills?
Lu Jingye looked at her little expressions in an amusing manner. “Don’t make random guesses. We’ll know after they return.”
Zi Yi said with certainty, “Yunxiao has always been rather negative about getting married. For him to tell you that he’s bringing someone home, it must mean that there is a baby. Why don’t we make a bet?”
“What’s the bet about?”
Zi Yi’s eyes rolled around before she leaned closer and whispered next to his ear, “If I have guessed correctly, you’ll accompany me to play around for a day.”
Lu Jingye knew that she wanted to go out to play the moment she brought it up. He pretended to consider for a moment before nodding his head while Zi Yi looked at him expectantly. “Sure.”
Zi Yi was elated with his response and she gave him a forceful peck on his cheeks. She then leaned her head on his shoulder and took out her phone to check her email.
Only then did she learn that her inbox was about to explode.
The news of the researchers from Country D entering her aviation research base was quickly known by other countries. More than 85% of her unread emails were from those national research institutes.
Zi Yi did a quick screening and she suddenly saw the email from the International Racing Organization Committee.
The [Future Racing Club] was originally planning to hold a racing competition in April, but it had been canceled due to the epidemic. She was so busy with other matters this month that she almost forgot about it.
At the sight of this, she gave Zhou Shijin a phone call.
When Zhou Shijin answered the call, he questioned her in a tone as if saying: ‘You’ve finally remembered about us’, “Zi Yi, will our club still hold the competition?”
Zi Yi could detect a hint of nervousness in his proud tone. “Of course, it’s still going to happen. I saw the timings sent to me by the International Racing Organization Committee. The earliest time the competition can be held would be the 25th of this month. Would there be any problems on your end?”
“How could we possibly have any problems?” Zhou Shijin raised his voice. Clearly, he was unhappy that Zi Yi was doubting their abilities. “If the competition during April wasn’t canceled, we would have been able to obtain first place back then.”
“It seems like you all are very confident. I’ll come over to take a look tomorrow. I have yet to meet the other members. I can test all of your skills then.”
“Sure.”
Both of them hung up the call after that.
Zi Yi replied to the organizing committee’s email first before she told Lu Jingye about this matter.
Lu Jingye nodded his head and suggested. “Since that’s the case, you can release the news of the competition in advance. Also, there’s the issue of the sale of tickets. How do you intend to price them?”
Zi Yi thought about it and said, “In any case, those that will come to spectate the competition won’t be lacking money. I’ll set the first category seats at a higher price. How does ten thousand sound? Then following on, the second category seats would be eight thousand, the third category seats would be five thousand and the last category of seating would be two thousand.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head in agreement. “Sounds good.”
Zi Yi informed the club’s manager robot to make the necessary arrangements.
There were still eight days before the 25th. What she did not expect was, when the news of the [Future Racing Club] competition on the 25th was released, the online ticketing platform handling the sale of the tickets was flooded.
In particular, the tickets couldn’t be transferred to someone or purchased from those ticket scalpers. The moment one enters the [Future Racing Club] official ticketing website, the individual’s information will be identified. In addition, one was also unable to purchase the ticket for someone else.
In an instant, the purchasing of tickets caused a bloody storm. Zi Yi soon received a few phone calls and all of them were asking for tickets to the race.
The next day, Zi Yi went down to the [Future Racing Club]. By the time she reached, Zhou Shijin and the other four racers had already been prepared and waiting for her there.
When they saw Zi Yi coming over, all of them were very excited.
Zhou Shijin had yet to introduce them to Zi Yi but the only girl in the team stepped forward first and introduced herself to Zi Yi. “Hello Boss Zi, my name is Xie Yaqi. I admire your racing skills very much and I am very happy that I can be a racer under your racing club.”
Xie Yaqi was the type that was pleasing to look at. She had a braided hairstyle while her skin was bronze-colored due to the long exposure under the sun every day. Her teeth were very white and she had a bright smile. She was wearing jeans and a loose black short-sleeved T-shirt. There was also a choker around her neck and she seemed like a cool girl.
Zi Yi nodded her head at her and turned her attention to the other three racers.
The ages of racers would usually not exceed thirty-five. The three of them looked to be under thirty.
The guy named Wang Qibing gave off a cultured and gentle demeanor, but his pair of eyes radiated determination. The palms of his hands were also rather large.
The guy named Qian Ping looked at Zi Yi as though he was looking at the God of Wealth. When he was introducing himself, he had worked very hard to make a good impression.
The last guy was named Ouyang Hao. His expression was comparable to Zhou Shijin’s but he was not as arrogant as he was. At the very least, Zi Yi felt that there was a difference and he seemed more pleasing to the eye.
After they finished introducing themselves, Zi Yi said, “Zhou Shijin informed me that you all are ready. Later, you can reveal your skills and show me what you can do.”
The moment Zi Yi said that, Qian Ping immediately spoke up. “Boss Zi, you can be at ease. We definitely won’t disappoint you.
The others looked at him in unison but they did not object to what he said.
The whole team walked to the infield runway together.
The racing cars were already parked on the track.
The racers did some warm-ups and Zi Yi stood next to them. With a tablet in her hand, she connected to the cars and checked the performance of those cars.
Just then, Xie Yaqi, who had finished her warm-up, walked to Zi Yi, revealed her brightest smile, and said, “Boss Zi, if you are satisfied with our performance later, can you treat us to a meal outside in the afternoon?”
Zi Yi looked at her and asked, “Is the food here not to your liking?”
“That’s not it. We have been training in the racing club for the past few months and I haven’t even gone out to take a look outside. I just thought of going outside to look around.”
Xie Yaqi’s request was not excessive. Zi Yi thought about it for a moment and nodded her head. “Sure.”
Xie Yaqi revealed an even brighter smile.
The five racers got into their respective cars, and the referee robot stood in front of them. After it completed several countdown gestures and waved the small flag in its hands, the five cars shot out in an instant.
Zi Yi headed to the stands and spectated the five racing cars chasing each other on the race track. All those cars had been modified and the highest speed limit were all faster than that of the fastest racing cars in the world at present.
Of course, it was still a far cry compared to what she drove in the past.
While looking at the five cars racing on the track, she also checked the data displayed on the big screen.
The five cars stopped after completing a few laps.
The racers alighted from the car and headed to ??Zi Yi’s side.
Xie Yaqi asked eagerly, “Boss Zi, what do you think of our skills?”
Zi Yi pointed at the big screen. The racing club had adopted the use of 8D suspension technology and with a tap of her finger, the screen seemed to have appeared right in front of them.
Zi Yi started to point out some minor mistakes they had made and what they should pay attention to.
