Chapter 1113: Chapter 424: Zhou Guanyu’s Future (6K, Extra Update 3/17)
Had dinner with the commentators from Five-Star Sports and later went to get a foot massage together, a literal foot massage—no need to think otherwise.
Afterward, Qin Miao returned to his place in Shanghai.
This house was a gift from Boss Zhou, which Qin Miao remembers clearly.
It just seems like it’s his first time there.
The apartment’s decor was entirely handled by Qimeng, and it’s even in Qimeng’s name.
Qin Miao didn’t bother to look around the interior of the house, he simply found the bathroom for a wash before collapsing into bed.
One special skill of F1 drivers is that they aren’t picky about where they sleep. As long as it’s comfortable, any bed will do.
At least that’s how it is for Qin Miao.
Due to staying up late and being on holiday, he didn’t feel the usual urgency. When he woke up again, it was almost 11 in the morning.
It was his first time waking up so late since entering the F1 circuit.
He scratched his head and, surprisingly, felt it didn’t bother him. In fact, he was in great spirits, not affected by going to bed late.
Soon enough, his attention was drawn to a missed call on his phone.
The call was made at 10 a.m., and the caller was Li Shufu.
He paused for a moment before realizing he overslept and missed the call.
However, he didn’t rush since he’d already missed it, there’s no point in panicking.
So, after getting up and freshening up, he did a workout to get his muscles moving before calling back Li Shufu.
The call connected quickly, and Li Shufu’s voice came through: "Hello? Qin Miao?"
"Yes, it’s me, President Li. I apologize, slept late yesterday and woke up late, missed your call."
"Haha, no worries, you F1 drivers are often in a tense state, it’s rare to rest, no harm in relaxing a bit. Good balance is key, as the saying goes."
"Who would disagree with that." Qin Miao replied, chuckling, "Your work recently must be pretty busy?"
"Haha, actually it’s alright, I mainly make decisions and give opinions. Our company has other shareholders, most things are discussed and handled by dedicated staff." Li Shufu spoke for a while then asked, "I heard you came back? While dining with friends yesterday, a fan found you."
"Ah." Qin Miao nodded helplessly, "Yes, returned quietly a couple of days ago, not many know.
I don’t know how, just outside the restaurant, a racing fan cornered me. Honestly, I’m impressed with their detective skills, no matter where I hide, they find me."
"Haha, this shows we have hidden talents in our country. Are you still in Shanghai now?"
"Yes, at home." Qin Miao answered directly without much thought.
"Perfect, I’m in Shanghai too, it’s almost lunchtime, want to grab a meal together?" Li Shufu invited, then added as if to reassure him, "Don’t worry, this time it’ll be very discreet, no interruptions."
Qin Miao could only smile helplessly, "Stop teasing me, yesterday was mainly because of the live stream during dinner."
"If you want, we can live stream our meal too."
Qin Miao:...
How come I never noticed Li Shufu has such a playful side?
After this little interlude, Qin Miao got the address and set a meeting time before ending the call.
But just as he was about to change clothes and head out, the phone rang again.
He picked up to see Zhou Guanyu calling.
"Hey? Spit it out if you have something, I’m busy." With Zhou Guanyu, there was less formalities, Qin Miao answered, putting the phone on speaker and tossing it aside, starting to get dressed.
"When did you return? Didn’t tell me." Zhou Guanyu immediately questioned as soon as the call connected.
Unfazed, Qin Miao replied, "You’re not my dad, don’t need to report everything to you, right?"
"I can be!" Zhou Guanyu took the chance to joke.
Listening to Zhou Guanyu, Qin Miao cringed a bit, gnashing his teeth.
They say proximity influences behavior, spending too much time with him seems to make Zhou Guanyu rebellious.
"Get lost!"
"Alright, no jokes. I’m also back home, just at Pudong Airport, buy me lunch!"
Qin Miao: "Sure, call me dad and I’ll take you out for good food!"
"Get lost!" Zhou Guanyu cursed before saying, "Seriously, kidding aside, I’m in the airport parking lot, my car’s tire is flat. Are you close to Pudong Airport? If possible, can you pick me up? We can have lunch at your place, I’ll buy groceries and you cook, a perfect deal?"
Qin Miao scratched his head, his place was indeed around Pudong, not far from Pudong Airport, but it’s still about 10 kilometers straight-line distance, would take at least an hour and a half driving.
However, he’d already planned lunch with President Li and agreed to it, so skipping wouldn’t be an option.
