Chapter 249 Chapter 247: Old Friend (6K, plus 516 updates)

After putting everything away, Qin Miao took out the scarf Qiu Meng embroidered for her mother. Although it was only in the summer and she didn't need the scarf, it would always be useful.

He handed the things to his mother and said, "Qiu Meng specially prepared it for you. She embroidered the peony on it stitch by stitch. I watched her embroider it stitch by stitch with my own eyes. It took me almost two months to embroider it." .”

My mother didn’t have any objections. After she got the scarf, she became very fond of it. She tried it on on the spot, but she took it off soon because it was too hot.

After taking off the scarf, the mother looked at Qin Miao suspiciously and said, "What about the little cutie? Why didn't you bring it back? You said that I, as a mother, have only seen my daughter-in-law on TV in recent times. Is this true?"

Qin Miao found a comfortable place to lie down on the sofa and said, "I'm going back to my home. I should be here tomorrow. Mom and I are hungry."

After knowing that Qiu Meng was coming over tomorrow, her mother stopped worrying about Qin Miao not bringing Qiu Meng back. She turned to the kitchen, put on an apron skillfully and said, "I didn't know you were coming back today." , I haven’t prepared anything to eat at home, and it’s inconvenient to eat now. Can I get some instant noodles for you?”

"What can't be eaten in instant noodles? Has it expired?" Qin Miao wondered.

But my mother said: "Don't you F1 drivers say that you have very strict restrictions on what you eat? It seems that you can't eat junk food or high-calorie foods."

Qin Miao waved his hand and said, "That's someone else. Your son and I are extremely talented and can eat anything."

"you sure?"

"Well, the physical therapists and physical trainers don't care what I eat. If you don't believe it, you can check it online. They should have told me."

"That's fine. You can watch TV in the living room for a while. There are dried fruits and the like sent by Xiao Fan and his family next door in the cabinet. If you are really hungry, go get some."

Qin Miao nodded, and skillfully began to look through the cabinets where snacks were usually kept at home, and asked casually: "Who is Xiao Fan? Isn't it Uncle Zhang's house next door?"

"Uncle Zhang and the others have moved away long ago. Isn't Xiao Fan across the street your classmate?"

Qin Miao was stunned after hearing this, classmate?

Then I thought about it for a while and then recalled that Uncle Zhang and the others seemed to have moved away before he went abroad to compete, and the person who moved here after Uncle Zhang moved was still his class president in high school: Fan Yue.

Speaking of Fan Yue, it's also interesting. The last time he saw her, Qin Miao was still pretending to be a dick in front of her.

But now Qin Miao looks back and realizes that there was really no need to do that at that time.

After all, they are all classmates, and Qin Miao's pretentiousness after winning the championship is much more exciting than at that time, and he has enough stamina.

After digging out a few bags of dried fruits, Qin Miao asked curiously: "Do they often deliver them?"

"That's not true. Aren't we all staying at home recently and not allowed to go out? Xiao Fan is afraid that I won't be able to eat enough at home alone, so he often comes to see me and gives me some food. Even though I refuse, he still wants to Insist on sending it to me.

Now when I receive a gift, I also give a gift or something in return. "

Qin Miao nodded clearly.

Then while eating dried fruits, he said, "By the way, Mom, where's my car?"

"Use it?"

"No, I didn't see the car when I came back, so I asked out of curiosity."

"It was lent out. Your cousin's son was getting married. He knew that I had a Ferrari at home, so he asked me to borrow it as a wedding car."

Qin Miao nodded. As Qin Miao has seen more and more cars, now he really only thinks of cars as a means of transportation.

Anyway, no matter how fast these super sports cars are, there is no way they can be faster than the W12 I drive on the track.

The only thing Qin Miao is curious about is that although his 488 has two seats, these two seats are really not spacious. Can it be used as a wedding car?Can they sit down?
In less than 10 minutes, there was a bowl of hot noodles with two poached eggs and a little mountain pepper oil unique to Qin Miao's hometown. It was fragrant and fresh, and tasted like a snack.

After taking a bite of the noodles with a familiar taste in his memory, Qin Miao sighed: "Mom, you don't know how much Qiu Meng and I wanted to have this bite while we were abroad."

"Then I'll eat more when I come back this time. If you really want to, ask Qiu Meng to bring some local mountain pepper oil to the UK."

"Uh-huh."

……

After eating and drinking, Qin Miao was about to clear the table, but was stopped by her mother: "I'm tired after a long day of traveling. I'll clean these up. You take a shower today and go to bed early."

Qin Miao was not tired, but looking at her mother's concerned eyes, Qin Miao didn't say anything. She nodded and turned around to rest.

The layout of Qin Miao's room has not changed at all, but judging from the spotless condition of the room, it can be seen that it is often cleaned.

Silent all night.

The next day, Qin Miao got up early and had a very comfortable sleep. When she got up, she looked energetic.

Because of the need to be quarantined at home, Qin Miao's mother did not go to work during this period, so Qin Miao saw her mother after getting up.

"By the way, Mom." Qin Miao said while eating breakfast: "Qiu Meng and I want to meet our parents at some time, and then we will prepare to get a marriage certificate when we are old enough."

Qin Miao's mother's eyes, which were a little confused because she woke up in the morning, suddenly brightened: "Really?"

"Well, it should be this period of time. I'll make sure before I go back during the summer break."

"It's a good thing. I can do it anytime. It depends on the in-laws' arrangements."

Qin Miao nodded, but after thinking about it, he still told his mother: "Mom, I have to tell you something in advance. According to both of us, when we get married, we just need to get a certificate, and there is no intention to hold a wedding. Without this time, as you know my work, I don’t have much time to rest and spend time with Qiu Meng, and Qiu Meng also has to take care of my financial contract and a studio, so she is very busy. "

Although Qin Miao's mother is not a traditional person, she was still a little stunned when she heard Qin Miao and Qiu Meng's plan. However, after a while, she still said: "Since you two are getting married, it's up to you two whether to hold the wedding or not." I won’t say anything more about the couple’s affairs, but you have to refer to Qiu Meng’s parents’ wishes and not let them feel that their daughter has been wronged by marrying into our family.”

Speaking of this, Qin Miao's mother was stunned for a moment. It seemed that with her son's current worth and reputation, no matter who he married, he would not be wronged...

However, Qin Miao didn't notice the strange expression on his mother's face. He nodded and said, "I know."

After breakfast, he chatted with his mother about recent events in his hometown. Qin Miao also talked about his life abroad in the past few years, the people he had met, and his relationship with the drivers on the track.

Then Qin Miao also learned from his mother that all the neighbors in the yard were his fans, and every time there was a game, they would move stools and sit in the open space of the community to watch their games.

To be honest, everyone he knew was his fan, which made Qin Miao feel a little embarrassed.

But Qin Miao soon came to his senses. There would come a time, and aside from the friendship over the years, everyone was actually similar to the audience Qin Miao met in the paddock.

The difference may just be that these people grew up watching Qin Miao.

During this period of time at home, Qin Miao did not need to work, so he naturally lived the life of a man who could only put on his clothes and open his mouth.

Qin Miao doesn't need to take care of housework and lunch.

The mother's tolerance for her son was quite high in a short period of time, and she did not show any dissatisfaction. She would come to Qin Miao's room from time to time and ask if Qin Miao wanted to eat fruit snacks.

However, it doesn't matter what Qin Miao eats, but he can't eat too much. After all, he just won't have a bad stomach, nor will his body function decline due to eating unclean food.

But if he eats too much, he will still gain weight.

Therefore, unless he encounters something he particularly wants to eat, Qin Miao basically refuses his mother's inquiries.

At noon, after lunch, Qin Miao was going to go back to the room to play on the computer. At the same time, she was also going to contact Qiu Meng to see what her parents thought about the two of them getting the certificate.

But just when Qin Miao was sitting on the chair in her room with her slippers hanging down, thinking about whether she should buy a better set of computers and peripheral tables, there was a knock on the door of Qin Miao's house. .

Qin Miao was startled, thinking it was Qiu Meng coming over, and was still a little confused when he walked over and opened the door.

Qin Miao could tell that Qiu Meng was homesick, and Qiu Meng was not like Qin Miao. She was physically exhausted and had to rest for a day after returning home.

As for what Qin Miao told his mother last night that Qiu Meng might come over today?
To be honest, Qin Miao didn't know whether Qiu Meng would come today, and didn't Qin Miao also add "possible" when he said it?

So this cannot be regarded as lying to my mother.

However, when Qin Miao opened the door of his house and saw the person standing at the door of his house, both Qin Miao and the other party were stunned.

The person who appeared in front of Qin Miao was very familiar to Qin Miao. He was Qin Miao's deputy monitor in high school, Fan Yue, and Bai Yueguang, who Qin Miao had been in high school with. Qin Miao had been secretly in love with him for a while.

Although I have seen many girls abroad who are more stunning than Fan Yue, there are also some who are more innocent than her, and these people are very proactive towards Qin Miao, and they can't wait to hang on Qin Miao directly. That kind of thing, but Qin Miao thought that she might have some other feelings after seeing Fan Yue again.

It's a pity that after seeing each other, Qin Miao only had peace in her heart.

I even had a thought: Fan Yue has the face of a royal sister, but why is her figure not as good as Qiu Meng's?

This thought just passed through Qin Miao's mind, and then Qin Miao smiled and shouted: "Squad leader."

"Qin Miao? When did you come back?" Fan Yue's tone was very surprised, even a little excited.

"Isn't it the summer break for F1? Plus, I haven't been back for more than a year, so I just came back to see my mom and stay at home for a few days.

By the way, thank you for helping to take care of my mother during this time. "

Fan Yue smiled and waved her hand: "We are all neighbors, so we are not polite, and we are still classmates. It is normal for me to help my old classmate take care of my mother while you are not at home. It is easy to do things with a little effort, just say these things." "That's what I said, but you still have to thank me." Qin Miao said solemnly, but then quickly said: "Come in and sit down."

Saying that, Qin Miao let the door open.

After all, they are guests, and as the other party said, there is a classmate relationship between the two. It is somewhat inappropriate to block the other party outside the door. The most important thing is that the other party has been coming to see him from time to time during his absence. Let’s talk to my mother.

No matter what the other party's purpose and thoughts are, during the period when he is unable to accompany his mother, at least there is always someone who can think about his mother. For this reason alone, Qin Miao has to solemnly thank the other party, and Prepare a generous gift.

After getting a pair of slippers for Fan Yue, Qin Miao turned around and shouted to his mother who was doing something unknown in his bedroom: "Mom, Fan Yue is here."

After my mother heard a knock on the door, she had already poked her head out of the room. When she saw it was Fan Yue, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

After that, her mother started chatting with Fan Yue. Seeing that she had nothing to do here, Qin Miao turned around and went back to the room.

Seeing the closed door of Qin Miao's room, Fan Yue and Qin Miao's mother were a little silent for a while.

Different from the reception he received when he just met Fan Yue, Qin Miao went back to the room directly when there was still a guest, and this guest was Qin Miao's classmate. This approach was really rude.

Polite, but not much…

Fan Yue didn't stay at Qin Miao's house for too long. She left after chatting with Qin Miao's mother.

Qin Miao stayed at home for the next two days, neither exercising nor going out for a walk.

The main reason is that I have been traveling around the world too frequently during this period. The feeling of staying in one place for a while and then changing to another place is really not very comfortable.

Now Qin Miao just wants to stay in one place quietly for a while, like a hamster, not moving from its nest.

During the two days that Qin Miao stayed at home, the happiest group was Qin Miao's car fans and fans.

Because in these two days, Qin Miao has been live broadcasting at high intensity almost every day.

In the past, Qin Miao practiced physical fitness in the morning and driving in the afternoon.

And now, I have CSGO in the morning, stand-alone masterpieces in the afternoon, and in the evening I have nothing to do to read the messages left to me by the audience in the live broadcast room.

Those who didn’t know better thought he was a popular and aloof full-time anchor.

But on the third day, Qin Miao's regular and leisurely life came to an end.

At noon, I took my mother, who was dressed up, to meet Qiu Meng’s parents for a meal.

During this period, the guests and hosts had a great time, and at the same time, the parents of both parties formally agreed to the marriage between the two.

As for the wedding, Qin Miao, Qiu Meng and Qin Miao's mother supported not doing it if they didn't want to do it, but Qiu Meng's parents still had some traditions and said they could still discuss it.

However, Qiu Meng said that she would eventually convince her parents.

Normally, the family might go to a nearby building that is being renovated to look at houses at this time, but considering their jobs and their usual working environment, buying a house is just for storage.

Neither Qin Miao's mother nor Qiu Meng's parents would give up the connections they had built near home for many years and move to a new house.

So after eating, the two families separated directly.

But in the afternoon, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng still went to Changsha.

After coming back, I naturally want to meet and talk with the two noble people.

When Qin Miao came to Boss Zhou's side again, Boss Zhou's place had changed a lot like the doorstep of Qin Miao's house.

The decoration style has completely changed, and the store has also expanded a lot.

However, due to the epidemic, not many people came here to play games, and everyone wore masks.

Qin Miao and Qiu Meng did not attract anyone's attention when they came in carrying gifts.

After all, although Qin Miao and Qiu Meng have good temperaments at home, their conspicuousness has plummeted compared to those of them abroad.

When Qin Miao came to the counter, Qin Miao did not see Boss Zhou. He only saw a staff member on duty behind the cashier.

It is worth mentioning that what the other party was wearing was not the company's work clothes, nor his own clothes, but the Mercedes team uniform.

Qin Miao knew at a glance that this outfit was probably requested by Boss Zhou, and these clothes were not cheap. The F1 official website said a piece of clothing costs at least four to five hundred.

The suit of clothes on the other party's body was instantly recognizable as genuine.

One thing to say, if you use the Mercedes-Benz team uniform as your work clothes, should you be worthy of being called Boss Zhou?
"Sir, are you here to play on the simulator?" The other party asked politely after seeing Qin Miao coming over.

Qin Miao shook his head and said, "I'm here to see your boss."

After hearing what Qin Miao said, the staff member said without thinking, "I'm sorry, our boss usually doesn't come to the store. I'm afraid your trip this time was in vain."

Qin Miao was stunned, and then looked in the direction of Boss Zhou's office. There was a light on there, and it was obvious that there was someone inside.

Turning to look at the staff member again, he still had a smile on his face, but he still had no intention of helping Qin Miao introduce their boss.

This was true even if Qin Miao took a clear look in the direction of Boss Zhou's office.

Qin Miao thought for a moment, and if she called Boss Zhou at this time, the surprise would be gone, so she might as well just swipe her face.

So in front of this staff member, Qin Miao pulled off his mask.

Then Qin Miao saw with the naked eye that the expression on the other party's face gradually changed from a polite and business-like smile to astonishment, then to surprise, then to ecstasy, and finally to excitement.

However, this man was also very professional. After seeing Qin Miao, he did not scream like the car fan Qin Miao met on the plane.

This is not an airplane. Although most of the customers playing the simulator are wearing headphones, there are also some who are not wearing headphones.

Anyone who is not wearing headphones will find someone exclaiming Qin Miao, and then subconsciously come over to take a look. After seeing Qin Miao's figure, fans who often watch him race may be able to recognize Qin Miao. come out.

It will be troublesome then.

After making sure that the other party recognized him, Qin Miao smiled and asked, "Is Boss Zhou here now?"

"I'm really sorry. I didn't know it was you who came here. Our boss is inside. You can just go directly."

What surprised Qin Miao was that after the other party was surprised and ecstatic, he did not ask for autographs or photos like others, but instead guided Qin Miao to Boss Zhou responsibly.

After nodding his thanks, Qin Miao took Qiu Meng to Boss Zhou's office.

Without knocking on the door, Qin Miao pushed the door open a little and stuck his head in.

I saw Boss Zhou looking at some reports and the like while making tea.

When he heard that his office door was pushed open without knocking, Boss Zhou frowned and looked over.

But when he saw that the sneaky person at the door was Qin Miao, his frown instantly relaxed.

"Hahaha." He put down the cup in his hand and stood up with a smile. Boss Zhou walked up to Qin Miao, looked Qin Miao up and down and said, "When did you come back? You didn't even say hello to me."

The two hugged, but when it came to Qiu Meng, Boss Zhou just shook hands with Qiu Meng.

Qin Miao put down what she was holding and then said, "I've been back for a few days. After spending two days with my mother at home, I came over immediately to give you a small gift for Boss Zhou.

Knowing that you are not lacking anything, I brought you a set of steering wheels that I have used. The internal system has been castrated, but other things have not been touched. You can plug it into the simulator and use it as a normal steering wheel. "

Boss Zhou originally wanted to come as soon as he wanted and brought gifts, but his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard what Qin Miao brought him.

Although the driver's steering wheel is also sold on F1's official website, it is actually just a steering wheel with the same shell and material. It is not produced by Mercedes-Benz, but is made by someone else. In addition to looking very similar, it is The steering wheels used by drivers are not the same, not to mention the workmanship and materials used.

Moreover, no one will buy a steering wheel that is of driver-quality quality and is too expensive.

Not counting R&D expenses and manufacturing expenses alone, the price of a driver's steering wheel is around US$2.5.

The one Qin Miao brought over was different. It had been used by Qin Miao, which meant that it was produced by Mercedes-Benz and was of immeasurable value.

The cost of an F1 racing steering wheel is around US$35. Now that it has been used by Qin Miao, the value of this thing will be even higher.

"Okay! Where is the steering wheel? Show me!" Although Chinese people generally do not open gifts in front of the gift giver when receiving gifts, Boss Zhou really likes this thing so much. An urge to take it apart in person.

Qin Miao has been abroad for such a long time, and the gifts he gave to Zhou Guanyu and Leclerc were basically opened in front of him, so they were somewhat used to it.

Qiu Meng thoughtfully handed a rectangular black box to Boss Zhou.
