Chi Gui was still urging them, "Come on, both of you, make a decision quickly. The race is about to start. Don’t block our path to fortune."
First place is worth five million dollars!
Guo Mingwei clenched his teeth, "One million five hundred thousand! But you must ensure the performance is exciting enough to attract the maximum attention for Miss Bai Youyou!"
Chi Gui replied, "Two million. You’re asking for too much."
He glanced at Bai Youyou beside him, whose complexion had already soured, took a deep breath, and nodded, "Fine!"
The Huaxia Racing Alliance was under the Huaxia National Team, and strictly speaking, Bai Youyou was his superior.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Guo Mingwei didn’t dare to delay any further.
After speaking, Guo Mingwei wanted to add a few more official-sounding remarks, but then he saw Chi Gui leisurely pulling out his phone, "Should we make a transfer first?"
Guo Mingwei felt the blood surge in his throat again.
He couldn’t help raising his voice, "Would I, the Deputy Director of the Huaxia Racing Alliance, cheat you?"
Chi Gui smiled amiably and put away his phone, "Of course not, I trust your character."
Though he was being complimented, Guo Mingwei felt even more irritated.
He turned and walked out first, afraid that if he stayed another minute, blood might actually be spilled.
Bai Youyou also had no wish to stay any longer and turned to leave.
Chi Mingkun had shut off the live broadcast when Guo Mingwei had come looking, and now, seeing Guo Mingwei storm away in a rage, he couldn’t help but admire Chi Gui, "Sister Chi, you’re so awesome! It’s my first time seeing someone dare to infuriate him !"
Chi Gui remained calm, "His temper is too volatile, getting angry over normal bargaining."
Fu Si followed with a laugh, "Exactly."
When Chi Gui had said even three dollars was too much for him, he hadn’t gotten angry.
The two rookies who had kept a low profile in the corner the whole time: ...
"Alright, it’s time to hit the track," Chi Gui stood up and straightened her team’s uniform, "Fu Si, tonight is about two million. You have to take the race seriously."
The distinguished Mr. Fu: ...
He never imagined that one day, he would be "selling himself" for two million.
Just before heading out, Chi Mingkun asked with some hesitation, "Sister, do you... really need the money that much?"
"For two million, you’re even willing to give up a racer’s pride... and play second fiddle to someone else..."
He paused, "I still have a few million on hand, I can give it to you if you need it."
Hearing Chi Mingkun’s words, Fu Si glanced at him indifferently.
Without turning her head, Chi Gui’s voice remained calm, "What nonsense are you talking about? It’s a big step forward for the Huaxia Race Team to have the public love and support their main racer. I was going to help anyway, the two million is just incidental. If Guo Mingwei hadn’t given in before the race, I would have let it go."
Luckily, Deputy Director Guo had left quickly; otherwise, hearing these words would have made him cough up blood again. Updates are released by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Soon, all the teams’ drivers were in place.
Chi Gui’s team was already the center of attention, and now with Bai Youyou joining, they became the focus of the entire venue.
All cameras were focused on Team E, and both commentators were vigorously introducing Bai Youyou as per the director’s instructions.
Chi Gui, Fu Si, and Bai Youyou stood at the very front of the team.
Bai Youyou positioned herself next to Chi Gui and during the commentators’ warm up, she leaned in close and whispered to Chi Gui, "Miss Chi, I’ve watched your race videos, they’re fantastic. But I earnestly advise you, showing off is not the same as racing skills, don’t be too arrogant. It won’t be good for your future development."
