The gossip exploded online as soon as it came out.
After all, the international rally had just ended, and the live streaming of Yao Ming’s "World" team and Ziyi’s "angel" team were at their peak popularity.
However, despite the heated online discussions, Chi Gui remained completely unaffected.
Chi Gui and Fu Si rarely used social media, and with Lu You’s group being foreigners who mostly didn’t understand Chinese, they were even less likely to check it.
Kyle, however, was browsing Twitter when he saw that Lucine was also going to live stream here for a week.
"Lucine and her team have also arrived," Kyle handed the message to Lu You, "There’s only one mountain road suitable for racing nearby; we might bump into them."
Lu You was looking down at his phone, gossiping in a small group chat about Fu Si who was with Sister Chi, and he didn’t care much about the news, "If we meet, we’ll just race together and help hype up their live streaming effect."
This was not uncommon among the top racing teams.
Although everyone competed fiercely on the track, they generally had good relations off it, since their skills and popularity were comparable and it was common to help promote each other’s events or hype up the atmosphere.
Although Lucine’s team was ranked around thirtieth internationally, a huge gap compared with a top team like Lu You’s, they rarely crossed paths during events.
In the past, Lu You’s team would have chosen to avoid such female drivers to prevent any baseless rumors.
But after all, this was Chi Gui’s hometown.
If someone was streaming to promote Sister Chi’s hometown, Lu You was quite willing to cooperate.
Kyle heard this and didn’t say anything further.
He thought the same as Lu You.
After managing his social media, Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Zifeng went to Lucine’s room to discuss the next day’s schedule.
"We start live streaming tomorrow, and we might run into that small team..." Zhang Zifeng expressed his concerns with a frown, "Should we change the mountain road to avoid them riding on our popularity?"
Lucine didn’t respond.
She had seen many teams in Racing World who only wanted to ride on the popularity to quickly earn money through advertising and sponsorships, and was too tired to be upset. Googlᴇ search ɴovelfire.net
Lucine’s manager was also troubled, "Changing the mountain road is definitely not an option, as this place has only that one suitable road... Let’s live stream tomorrow at lunch, when traffic peaks, so we don’t have to worry about running into that team..."
Lucine had agreed to come to Huaxia for live streaming to better penetrate the Huaxia market, and definitely couldn’t afford any unpleasant clashes with the local teams.
Otherwise, a slight provocation from the opposing side could crush her by riding on her fame.
That was the only option, and after discussing, Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Zifeng left.
Lucine finally spoke, "How’s the negotiation going with the ’World’ team? Is Lu You willing to make an appearance in our stream?"
To gain higher viewership, Lucine had wanted to invite Lu You to join her in live streaming even before coming to Huaxia, hoping even a brief appearance from him would do.
After all, given Lu You’s immense popularity in Huaxia, even a brief appearance could triple her stream’s popularity.
However, every time her manager tried to negotiate, they were politely declined.
Yet, the manager and Lucine remained persistent, continually reaching out after arriving in Huaxia.
The significant benefits of collaborating with Lu You were worth the continuous attempts to persuade him.
Upon hearing this, the manager sighed, "Lu You and his manager have gone for secretive special training, and even the club’s people can’t reach them..."
