Fortunately, the final result was still satisfying.
Xiao He had no idea how many laps he had made against the other racers or how much of a lead he had built. When the third racer took over, it was an absolutely perfect start for him.
As long as he performs as usual and doesn't make any mistakes, it's really hard for him to lose.
As expected, Xiao He's team won the championship, not only in their group but also in the entire race.
Xiao He also got to experience what it felt like to stand on the podium.
Of course, he didn't forget about his publicity work.
When ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) overseas media approached him for an interview, Xiao He casually revealed that he was an actor by profession.
It's already quite astonishing that an amateur driver could surpass so many professional racers to win the championship. But what no one expected was that this young racer with an Asian face was actually an actor by profession!
All the media outlets sensed a bombshell.
Naturally, Xiao He was then asked about his representative works.
Xiao He then took the opportunity to mention that he would soon have a film released overseas, and explained in detail the subject matter and release date.
The media outlets were taken aback for a moment, then belatedly realized that they had inadvertently given Xiao He free publicity.
However, seeing Xiao He's smiling face, they ultimately said nothing.
This young man from China is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has amazing racing skills. They are willing to help promote him a little. It's not a formal promotion, so they can just mention it when introducing his resume. It won't take much effort.
Although Xiao He was still very tired, he insisted on maintaining his best condition, patiently accepting interviews and spreading his promotional lines. Finally, when he could no longer hold on, Ou De'en came over and took the microphone from Xiao He to deal with the interviews and inquiries from these people.
Luca walked over and solemnly thanked Xiao He: "Thank you, Xiao He. If it weren't for you this time, our team would probably have really missed out on first place."
The competition in the Platinum Group was fierce; everyone gave it their all, and the final points difference wasn't that significant.
Only Xiao He's group stood out from the crowd, sweeping everyone with high scores and successfully reviving the slightly defeated Lederola team, overtaking the Young Master team and taking first place in the overall rankings.
Of course, this also means that the substantial prize pool ultimately ended up in their team's hands.
This is undoubtedly something to celebrate.
"I just did what I was supposed to do."
When it comes to getting paid to do favors, Xiao He still maintains a high level of professional ethics.
After all, this racing team is truly wealthy and powerful.
If it weren't for the fact that there were no points to be gained, Xiao He would have been quite happy to help them run a few more races.
"Brother Xiao, it's already four o'clock in the afternoon."
Xiao Chen whispered a reminder in Xiao He's ear.
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao He nodded slightly, then looked up at Luca again: "Sorry, we may have to go now."
Luca paused for a moment, then looked surprised: "You're leaving already? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
"Yes, our crew is holding a promotional roadshow in Milan. I'm planning to go and check it out, and help promote it."
Fortunately, the stadium here isn't too far from Milan, so Xiao He can still make it there in time, although the time is a bit tight.
"Okay, then I'll take you there."
Luca said decisively.
Xiao He originally wanted to decline, but considering his current weak condition and the fact that Xiao Chen didn't have a driver's license here, he could only nod and say, "Then I'll leave it to you."
"Perfect, let's all go together. The coach is driving, and there's room for all of us."
The two racers who were teamed up with Xiao He also came over and suggested, "Anyway, there's nothing much to do here. Let's go to Milan and we can help Xiao promote his new work."
"Yes, we can have dinner together tonight to celebrate."
Clearly, Xiao He's performance on the field had impressed his two teammates, and they would feel uneasy if Xiao He were to leave so hastily.
"OK."
Xiao He readily agreed this time.
Milan is indeed more lively than here, and it's quite convenient to find restaurants there to celebrate and have a meal.
So the Lederola team boarded the minibus driven by Luca and prepared to leave.
As for the cars they drove themselves, Ou De'en and the others decided to take Xiao He away first, and then they would come back to deal with the race cars here.
Anyway, the main thing now is to see Xiao He off, so everyone happily put their arms around him and left in the car.
No sooner had Xiao He and his group left than Tannis's bodyguards arrived.
"Hello, where is the Lederola team?"
The bodyguard in black asked the media reporter next to him.
Unfortunately, the convoy was moving too fast, and many people didn't notice them.
When asked where they had gone, everyone was confused and shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.
The bodyguard looked around, then turned and walked into the room, preparing to continue his search.
Meanwhile, Wen Qi, watching the bodyguard leave, snorted softly but didn't say anything to remind him that he was gone.
At this moment, Qin Lezhang also walked over from inside the arena: "How is it? Have they found the person?"
"No, the person has already left." Wen Qi shrugged. "So what if he's a good driver? Actors can act that out. I think those big directors are just bored out of their minds, always looking for an all-around perfect actor. Isn't that a joke?"
"Besides, he's just a minor supporting actor who only appears a few times. I don't know what he's thinking. He doesn't want readily available actors and insists on picking and choosing."
Qin Lezhang glanced sideways at his agent, his tone tinged with coldness: "Oh? What? So you think I can't even snag such a minor supporting role?"
Wen Qi felt a chill run down his spine, and a smile immediately spread across his face: "No, no, no! That's not what I meant. I was just standing up for you."
"But speaking of which, Xiao He is quite cunning. He actually received the casting call from Director Tannis in advance and came here specifically to compete to deliberately attract the director's attention. That's a really clever move!"
Wen Qi curled his lip. "The drivers are all wearing helmets. Who knows if the person in the car is really him? Maybe he found someone to drive for him! I've seen too many actors like this. They'll do anything for a role and they're not afraid of being caught."
Although that's what he said, Wen Qi knew in his heart that Xiao He must have participated in this match himself, and it was impossible for someone else to have done it on his behalf.
After all, the organizers aren't stupid. This competition is quite well-known in the industry, and other teams participating in the competition can see what's happening on the track. The entire process is relatively fair, open, and just.
The idea of someone else opening an account on your behalf is simply impossible.
Besides, his driving skills... you can't find another one like him in the industry.
However, when people fail, they are never stingy with expressing their malicious speculations.
Qin Lezhang believed it, slapped his thigh angrily, and gritted his teeth: "Damn it! That's right! Why didn't I think of that trick back then!"
"Xiao He—"
Qin Lezhang turned to Wen Qi and said, "This name does sound familiar. Go and find out who he is and which company he works for!"
Anyone who dares to steal his role is asking for trouble!
