Kyle felt uneasy inside.
He had signed a wager agreement with the higher-ups before coming to Huaxia for this "special training."
If he couldn’t guarantee that all the drivers he was coaching would participate in the next season’s races, he would have to pay a breach of contract fee of up to a hundred million.
In top-tier racing teams like theirs, there were several teams within the club, each led by different managers and coaches, and the competition among them was fierce.
Before each season started, the club would conduct internal races to determine the starting lineup, with the ten best-performing drivers getting to race, and the second-best serving as substitutes.
The drivers who ranked even lower could only remain in the club to continue training or participate in minor competitions.
Last season, among the drivers Kyle coached, only Lu You and another made it to the starting lineup; the other starters were all from another coach’s team.
The top brass was already considering moving Lu You and that driver over to another coach’s team.
It was only because Lu You, out of consideration for his relationship with Kyle, adamantly disagreed and the executives didn’t want to offend the world’s most valuable driver, that this was put on hold.
But this year, all the exceptionally talented young drivers joining the team had been assigned to another coach, which made the executives’ attitude clear.
That’s also why Kyle, upon hearing Lu You say Hunter personally trained the drivers, was willing to sign the wager agreement with the executives to come here.
The team he led was left with only one very mediocre coach. If he did nothing, come the new season, he feared that only Lu You would make it to the starting line-up.
His fate wouldn’t be any better than it was now.
Thinking of this, the manager sighed deeply in his heart and said, "Let’s see what she has to say tomorrow."
The driver frowned but said nothing more, turning and walking away.
Lu You watched him join a few other drivers and mutter something unknown among themselves. Shaking his head, he patted the manager’s shoulder, "Don’t worry. My driving skills were honed by ’Hunter,’ the results in two months will definitely surprise you!"
The manager sighed, "Not everyone has your level of talent, though..."
"That’s because you don’t understand ’Hunter,’" Lu You winked at the manager, "Just wait and see how we’ll blow everyone’s minds next season." Read full story at novèlfire.net
On the ride back, Fu Si was driving as usual.
It was silent the entire way.
Not until they stopped outside of Chi Gui’s grandmother’s house did Chi Gui thank him and unbuckle the seat belt to get out of the car.
Fu Si followed, and seeing Chi Gui really didn’t plan to say a word, he couldn’t help raising his eyebrows, "Professor Chi, don’t you have anything to say?"
Chi Gui glanced back, "Hmm?"
"About joining the ’World’ racing team as a coach..." Fu Si leaned lazily against the car door, his phoenix eyes hooking with an indistinct tone, "You really gave me quite the surprise today!"
Chi Gui: "Oh, no need to thank me."
He had discovered that Professor Chi’s first reaction to a question she didn’t want to answer was to pretend she didn’t understand.
And once she pretended, it meant no amount of questioning would yield any useful reply.
So Fu Si didn’t ask any further, just smiled and waved at her, "Rest well, see you tomorrow."
"Goodbye." Chi Gui said politely, turning to enter her grandmother’s house.
Fu Si leaned against the car, waiting until the light came on in the room before he got in and drove away.
There was nowhere to stay in the village, so Fu Si returned to the hotel at the foot of the mountain.
Qin Cheng was already waiting in the hotel lobby. Seeing Fu Si come in, he immediately approached, "Mr. Fu, you sent a message in the afternoon asking me to investigate ’Hunter’... It was a bit urgent, but so far, my people have only managed to find this."
Saying so, Qin Cheng handed the files he was holding to Fu Si.
