Chapter 139: Chapter 138: Can’t Compare
Compared to Chi Gui’s usual, more conventional account, the avatar and name of this one were much more flamboyant.
The avatar featured a red supercar parked against a black background, its headlights on, almost bursting through the screen with abandon and arrogance.
The name was “Hunter,” which is the English word for hunter.
This WeChat account was only in one group.
It had no other contacts.
The group nearly exploded the moment she went online!
Lu You: “Oh my god!! Guess who I just saw! @Hunter!! You’re actually using this account!”
“What?! The Hunter has appeared?!”
“Oh my god! Am I about to relive the nightmare of being dominated by him again?”
“Calm down above! You’re now the head coach of the top car team in the country; if anyone’s reliving a nightmare, it’s us poor racers…”
The previously silent group chat was now overwhelmed with messages, instantly hitting 99+.
Chi Gui ignored the chat and typed: [Whose broadcasting rights are still unsold?]
As soon as she spoke, the group fell silent, with no one daring to talk, for fear of missing her message.
Lu You: [Our team’s rights are still available, do you want them?]
The world’s two largest live streaming platforms were currently vying for his team’s broadcasting rights, and the manager was still observing.
Chi Gui: [Your team’s broadcasting rights are too expensive, I can’t afford them.]
Lu You: [That’s for the outsiders. Sister Chi, for you, I can get the manager to sell them to you at the domestic broadcast price.]
The domestic broadcast price, at most, was only fifty million, more than half less than the international price!
Chi Gui: [What’s the condition?]
Lu You: [You coach our team’s drivers for a year.]
Chi Gui: [I don’t have time to go abroad.]
Lu You: [We can come to you in the country.]
Chi Gui thought for a moment; this could work. Just as she was about to agree, another person popped up in the group. His WeChat name was Stotta: [Lu, you’re too cunning! Hunter, our team’s broadcasting rights aren’t sold either! We can also go to the domestic side!]
Lu You: [Stotta, stop it. Our team is always one step ahead of yours in both popularity and strength, of course Sister Chi will choose us!]
Others in the group: …
Watching the two big shots, ranked first and fifth in the world, squabbling over her favor , those who had broadcasting rights yet unsigned silently withdrew their “our team’s are also available” messages.
They didn’t stand a chance…
Chi Gui ignored the childish bickering of the two: [I’m not necessarily going to sign… If you have a suitable platform, just sign directly.]
Lu You and Stotta sent almost simultaneously: [No problem, we’re not in a hurry.]
After sending the message, Lu You immediately went to talk to the manager about this, and the manager was pleasantly surprised. To only lose fifty million and to get a coach like Hunter was incredibly cost-effective! Get full chapters from noᴠelfire.net
The manager immediately made a call, declining the two platforms currently in negotiations and reserved the broadcasting rights exclusively for Hunter.
On the other side, Stotta had also approached his manager.
But his manager was somewhat skeptical: “Stotta, no matter how great the Hunter was in the past, after so many years away from racing, are you sure she can still perform at the same level? Besides, we’ve already signed Mr. Stian, the world’s number one coach. The Hunter has never coached before, and in terms of expertise, she cannot possibly compare to Mr. Stian.”
After hearing this from the manager, Stotta also hesitated.
The manager patted Stotta on the shoulder: “Alright, with Mr. Stian joining us next year, we stand a good chance of beating Lu You’s ‘world’ team. You wouldn’t want to lose such an excellent opportunity, right?”
Stotta didn’t say anything, which was taken as agreement.
Nancheng is not close to Capital City; it took nearly six hours of driving, taking turns between two drivers, to enter Capital City. After another four hours stuck in traffic on the road, they finally arrived at the reserved hotel.
On the way, Su Niannian and others, including Chi Yan, didn’t dare to stop for a moment, studying books and videos of past races, while Chi Gui was peacefully curled up in her seat, sleeping soundly.
