After all, the effect of this sponsorship was worth the whole year’s painstaking promotion by the company.
Xia Yong had never even dared to think about it before. Now seeing Chi Gui ask, he was nothing but shocked and incredulous, "If it were possible, I would definitely want to sponsor."
Chi Gui said, "Okay."
Then she didn’t say anything more.
Xia Yong held his phone, standing in place, unsure of what Chi Gui meant.
Could it be... those big international shots are her friends too??
Zhang Ziyi and Lucine’s team had already returned to the hotel at the foot of the mountain and just happened to see Chi Gui’s reply to the trolls.
Zhang Ziyi burst into laughter.
"What’s going on?" Zhang Zifeng curiously asked.
Zhang Ziyi showed his phone to Zhang Zifeng and said with a laugh in Language Y, "They’re actually claiming they can find a racer with more fame than Lucine to live stream. I really want to see who that person is. It couldn’t be Lu You, could it?"
After all, the broadcast rights back then were secured with Chi Gui’s help.
But at this moment, Zhang Ziyi knew that the Lu You Racing Team was in secretive training, so his comment was purely mocking.
Hearing him say that, Lucine’s manager laughed, "We can’t even get in touch with the Lu You team here. If she can actually contact them, that would be impressive."
After an hour of fermentation, online public opinion had reached its peak.
People kept @’ing "Yao Ming" the anchor, asking if they had found a racer with greater popularity yet.
The official account remained unresponsive.
Zhang Zifeng, after reading Chi Gui’s two replies, licked her lips and laughed, using Zhang Ziyi’s official account to @ "Yao Ming" Official: "We and Lucine are really looking forward to co-streaming with the big shot racer~"
After she sent this message and was about to exit Weibo, a push notification suddenly popped up—
"World" Racing Team: "August 23rd at 2 PM, @ ’Yao Ming’ live room. Don’t miss it!"
Zhang Zifeng was stunned for a moment.
She clicked on the "world" Racing Team’s official Weibo incredulously and when she saw the official verification mark behind it, her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "How can this be!"
"What’s wrong?" Zhang Ziyi was still discussing the matter with the manager. He turned around and asked at her words.
Zhang Zifeng handed her phone to Zhang Ziyi and muttered, "They... they really struck a deal with the ’world’ Racing Team..."
Zhang Ziyi also saw the official message and his expression instantly changed.
Annoyingly, after the official account posted the announcement, it very "considerately" replied to the Weibo Zhang Zifeng had just posted: "Sure~ We warmly welcome you to join the hype~" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⁂fire.net
Zhang Zifeng and Zhang Ziyi’s faces turned red and then pale, as if they had been slapped hard.
Zhang Zifeng quickly deleted her previous message.
But netizens had already taken screenshots of it, and it had rocketed to the top of the trending searches.
Suddenly, the direction of public opinion shifted entirely.
Under the "Yao Ming" Official account, a large number of netizens flooded in, all replying—
"Is this the legendary mogul’s Weibo? Little brother has come to pay his respects!"
"66666! A mogul indeed, crushing some people’s long essays with just two sentences!"
Some also took a screenshot of Chi Gui’s two replies and posted it in the comment section, with the annotation: "Yao Ming: Are people actually so eager to be slapped in the face? I’ve never heard of such a request in my life!"
Even the manager and Lucine, who didn’t understand Huaxia, could tell something was wrong and asked Zhang Ziyi about it.
Zhang Ziyi had no choice but to explain the situation as gently as possible.
The manager and Lucine couldn’t help but click on the international official account of the "world" Racing Team in disbelief. After seeing that message, they looked at each other slowly, both seeing shock in the other’s eyes.
The "world" Racing Team, which they had tried all means to contact without success, had actually been summoned by a little Huaxia broadcaster??
Lucine, seemingly having thought of something, shouted, "Back to the mountain roads, now!"
