How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 250 Chapter 248: Leaving Home (6K, plus update 616)

Boss Zhou excitedly placed the box on his desk.

However, he did not start unpacking the box in a hurry. Instead, he handed his mobile phone to Qin Miao and said, "Xiao Qin, you can record the unboxing video for me later. I'll go find a pair of gloves. I don't bring this with me when I open the box." A pair of gloves is really a waste.”

Although Qin Miao wanted to say it was not the case, he often saw other F1 drivers throwing their steering wheels back and forth on the track, but if he thought about it from his perspective, before he became an F1 driver, he was even driving F2. At that time, if there was a chance to get a steering wheel used by an F1 driver, I would definitely be as excited as Boss Zhou.

So Qin Miao patiently wanted to see Boss Zhou's performance.

And Qiu Meng was not here for the first time. Knowing that it would take some time for Boss Zhou to unbox the steering wheel, she sat down on the sofa and started waiting.

When Boss Zhou was looking for gloves, he also realized that he had not treated them well. He took out two bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator in his office and handed them to Qin Miao and Qiu Meng. He apologized and hurried out to find gloves.

Boss Zhou came back more than ten minutes later, and he actually found a pair of white gloves that often appear in unboxing videos.

After coming back, Boss Zhou ignored the sweat on his head and asked Qin Miao to start recording the video, and then he started unboxing the steering wheel.

Boss Zhou carefully opened the pure black box, and what appeared in front of him was a black foam anti-shock pad.

After removing the foam anti-vibration pad, you can see the all-black steering wheel inside, and a protective film is attached to the steering wheel's display.

It is worth mentioning that because it is the steering wheel used by Qin Miao, there are obvious signs of use on the steering wheel.

There are scratches and fingerprints.

Among them are Qin Miao's and Qin Miao's technician Reyes.

But Boss Zhou didn't care about this. Seeing this steering wheel was like seeing some rare treasure.

In addition to the steering wheel itself, the box also contains a replacement adapter and a confidentiality agreement.

After all, this plate belongs to Mercedes-Benz's business secrets, and the internal structure and parts of the steering wheel are also confidential. Because of Qin Miao's contribution to the team's R&D and performance, if he wants to give an old steering wheel to someone else, Mercedes-Benz will not disagree. However, the recipient must sign a confidentiality agreement.

Boss Zhou naturally had no reason to refuse this confidentiality agreement.

Boss Zhou was even a little excited because he could sign Mercedes' confidentiality agreement.

After taking out the steering wheel, Boss Zhou put it in his hand and observed it for a while, and then put his hand into the handle of the steering wheel like when driving a racing car.

However, Boss Zhou felt obvious discomfort after putting his hand in it. The reason is also very simple. The steering wheel was customized according to Qin Miao's hand shape.

Boss Zhou's fingers and palms are obviously slightly larger than Qin Miao's, so although his hand can fit in, it is obviously a bit crowded, and it will definitely be uncomfortable to drive for a long time.

But despite this, the boss of Steering Wheel Zhou is still very precious to him.

As for whether it is really like Qin Miao said, use this steering wheel to run the simulator?

Just kidding, a steering wheel worth 35 US dollars and more than 200 million yuan. Although Boss Zhou can't afford the more than 200 million, no matter how rich he is, he would not bear to take this F1 steering wheel used by Qin Miao as his daily use steering wheel. .

The most important thing is that the steering wheel does not fit your hand.

"Have you finished taking the photo?" Boss Zhou asked after admiring his steering wheel for a while.

Qin Miao nodded and was about to end the video recording and return the phone to Boss Zhou.

However, Boss Zhou took the phone before Qin Miao turned off the video recording, pointed it at Qin Miao and said, "Look who this is? The person who took the unboxing video for me is Qin Miao himself, no?" Have you thought about it? Hahahahaha."

Qin Miao: ...

Qin Miao scratched her face in embarrassment and looked at Qiu Meng, who was holding back a smile.

Qiu Meng, on the other hand, immediately started pretending to be stupid, looking at Qin Miao with her big innocent eyes. What's wrong?

After confirming that the video was shot, Boss Zhou did not immediately send the video to his friend group to show off.

Instead, he said apologetically: "Look at me, I know that you were a little too excited after giving me a steering wheel, and the reception was not good enough. Qin Miao, you and Qiu Meng sit down first, and I will get the good tea leaves that I have collected."

Qin Miao quickly stopped Boss Zhou: "Hey, goodbye, Uncle Zhou, you know that we have been abroad for so long, and I have never drank alcohol due to work reasons. You want us to try it?" It’s okay to taste the food if it tastes good. Tea and wine can’t be judged by drinking them.”

When Boss Zhou saw this, he didn't force it: "That's it...that's okay, sit down."

After saying that, he sat down on the main seat of the coffee table and started making tea for the two of them.

"Was it hard on the way back?" Boss Zhou poured out all the tea leaves in the teapot and brewed another pot of tea.

"It's okay. I took a direct flight for eleven hours and landed in the morning." Qiu Meng replied.

"Oh, it's quite comfortable to sit in first class, right?"

"What a first-class seat. In order to come back early without changing flights, we squeezed into the economy class." Qin Miao complained.

Boss Zhou was a little surprised: "With your reputation, you are not allowed to cause commotion when flying in economy class?"

Qin Miao smiled sheepishly: "Actually, I am not very well-known in China. Although my base is in China, the audience of F1 in China is too small. I was recognized by only one fan on the plane. Okay, just give this fan an autograph and take a photo and that’s it.”

"Oh, by the way, talking about signatures." Just after Qin Miao finished speaking, Boss Zhou turned on the induction cooker and started to boil water and said, "Wait for me for a while."

As he spoke, Boss Zhou ran out again. When he came back, he already had a big box in his hand. And that's not all. When Boss Zhou came in, he was followed by the worker Qin Miao had seen at the cashier. personnel.

Like Boss Zhou, he also held a big box in his hand.

Qin Miao was about to get up and help Boss Zhou pick up the box, but Boss Zhou said, "Don't move, don't move, I'll just come."

At first, Qin Miao didn't notice anything strange, until Boss Zhou put the box down and opened it. Qin Miao's mouth twitched when he saw the contents inside the box.

This big box contains boxes of Mercedes uniforms.

After seeing this scene, Qin Miao already had a bad premonition, which lasted until Boss Zhou took out a golden signature pen.

"What about that, Qin Miao, many of my friends and juniors wanted to beg me to bring them your autograph after they found out that you and I know each other and have a good relationship. Could you please help me?"

Qin Miao naturally would not refuse Boss Zhou's request. Although the corners of his mouth were twitching, he still took the pen and started signing these Mercedes uniforms.

When signing, Qin Miao asked curiously: "Uncle Zhou, are these clothes genuine? Where did you buy them?"

Boss Zhou helped Qin Miao unpack the team uniforms and said, "They were all bought on the F1 official website."

"I remember these clothes are not cheap."

"It's not bad, it's just over 500 pieces."

Qin Miao glanced briefly and saw that there were at least forty or fifty sets of Mercedes uniforms here. After a simple calculation, these clothes totaled twenty-five thousand.

Maybe for ordinary working-class people, this is really not a small amount of money, but Boss Zhou is obviously not someone who is short of such a small amount of money, so he is really not pretending to say that the money is not much.

Qin Miao has completely perfected his signature skills and speed in the paddocks abroad.

The abbreviation of QM and the two Chinese characters Qin Miao were written quickly and beautifully. It only took Qin Miao more than ten minutes to complete the fifty signatures.

However, when signing overseas, Qin Miao sometimes likes to sign Qin Sanshui.

After all, compared to Qin Miao, the word Sanshui is much less gestural.

The fans who got Qin Miao's signature were very happy. After all, this was considered a lucky draw and revealed Qin Miao's special signature.

After finishing all the writing, Boss Zhou put all these things away with a grin, and then said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Qin, you came to see me and you said that I didn't prepare any gifts for you, I just kept you busy. Yes, but don't worry, you also know that your Uncle Zhou and I are not a stingy person, and I will definitely prepare something good for both of you as a thank you.

However, this gift still needs some time to prepare, so you can just wait and see. "

Qin Miao casually put the pen cap back and said, "Uncle Zhou, the relationship between us is just a few signatures. If you say this, it will be ignored."

Boss Zhou just smiled when he heard Qin Miao's words, but did not take up the issue.

After giving all the clothes to the front desk staff and letting him put them away, Boss Zhou came to his desk and carefully picked up the box containing the steering wheel.

Then Qin Miao saw Boss Zhou open the safe in his office, take out some gold that occupied a relatively small space, and then put his steering wheel back after making some room.

Perhaps in Boss Zhou's opinion at this time, the steering wheel given to him by Qin Miao was more important than the gold.

But if I have to say it, Qin Miao's steering wheel weighs about one kilogram, which is really more expensive than gold of the same size.

After putting away the things very preciously, Boss Zhou stood up and let out a sigh of relief, as if a big stone had fallen in his heart.

Then Boss Zhou sat at the main seat of the coffee table again. Now Boss Zhou has returned to normal, but it is not difficult to judge from the smile on his face that he is really happy at this time.

"How many days will you stay during this summer break?" Boss Zhou asked while making tea.

"About ten days, and I will be ready to return to the UK in one week." This sentence was said by Qiu Meng. Qiu Meng usually helped arrange these things, and the most outstanding one was that it saved Qin Miao worry and effort.

Boss Zhou also nodded understandingly: "Do you want to go there to have fun during this period?" "If nothing else happens, I should be at home with my family these days, and I will go back to the UK when the time is up."

"It's okay, and the current environment is not suitable for playing around." Boss Zhou nodded and handed the tea that had been brewed to the two of them: "By the way, you two have been together for a while, when will the wedding be held? ? Be sure to remember to call me when the time comes."

"I just met Xiaomeng's parents today. We are going to get the certificate when we are old enough, but Qiumeng and I are not planning to hold a wedding banquet."

Boss Zhou raised his eyebrows. He did not agree with the ideas of these two young people, but he also knew that the ideas of young people in the new era were different from those of older people like himself, not to mention that these two people had been living abroad during this period. He would definitely be influenced by foreigners. If he spoke on this matter, it would easily arouse the resentment of the two of them, so Boss Zhou didn't say much on this matter.

After that, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng stayed with Boss Zhou for more than two hours, mainly chatting. Most of the time, Boss Zhou asked some things they were curious about, and Qin Miao and Qiu Meng answered.

After dinner, Boss Zhou invited the two of them to have lunch together. In the evening, Boss Zhou also wanted to take the two of them to take a bath, wash their feet, and then have a full body massage.

Because Qiu Meng is here, the places where Boss Zhou plans to take the two of them are naturally formal places.

However, both Qin Miao and Qiu Meng refused.

The most important thing after returning from abroad is to come home and spend time with his parents. Although Qin Miao spends most of the time with his mother playing on the computer in the bedroom, her mother knows that her son is at home, separated from her by a wall, and opens the door. You can see your son.

But if you go out to wash your feet, take a bath, etc., you will probably not be able to go back at night. Even if you go back, it will be very late, and it will disturb the family's rest.

So the two of them declined Boss Zhou's kindness.

Boss Zhou didn't force it, and he was even a little eager to give it a try.

After eating, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were about to take a taxi home. However, Boss Zhou did not just let Qin Miao go back. Instead, he asked his driver to take them back, and he himself couldn't wait. Returning to his simulator shop, he opened the safe and started to show off the steering wheel he just got among his friends and social circle.

On the other side, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng arrived home after eating. After thanking the driver who sent them here, Qin Miao took Qiu Meng home on foot.

Qin Miao himself walked back.

Anyway, the two families are not too far apart.

When he returned to his home community, Qin Miao found that his Ferrari had been sent back, and it looked like it had just been washed.

Without paying attention to the car, Qin Miao went directly to the second floor and opened the door of his room. His first words after entering were: "Mom! I'm back!"

"You're back? Have you eaten?"

"Eat and eat."

"Where's Xiaomeng? Did you send her to your home?"

"Hmm."

……

As Qin Miao himself said, he has been staying at home during this time and has not gone out. However, Qin Miao's mother is not like other parents who have been so excited since their children just came home. Gradually it turned into disgust and disgust.

Qin Miao's mother was happy for a while after seeing her son come back from the first day, and then returned to normal. How was her mother at home when Qin Miao was studying? How is her mother now? The difference is that her mother is no longer Urging Qin Miao to do his homework.

This kind of days of reaching for clothes and opening mouths lasted for seven days, including the two days when Qin Miao just came back.

During these seven days, Qin Miao did not forget to ask Qiu Meng to prepare a gift for Fan Yue. After all, she had spent a long time greeting her mother for him.

And at the same time, Qin Miao also discussed with his mother about letting her retire early.

Qin Miao is 19 years old this year and will only be 20 after the new year. Qin Miao's mother was Qin Miao who was born at the age of 22, so now Qin Miao's mother is only 41, but she looks about 33 from the outside.

Among them, Qin Miao's mother is usually more carefree. Her personality prevents her from having too many negative emotions in her daily work. She is older and slower. On the other hand, Qin Miao also feels that the system has provided After all, Qin Miao kept several barrels of health care potions at home.

And now is the time when my mother is in better health and full of energy.

At the same time, Qin Miao has already achieved financial freedom and transfers [-] yuan to his mother every month for living expenses.

As long as she doesn't do bad things, my mother will basically be in a state of having no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

So my mother actually no longer has the need to continue working.

Qin Miao wanted to take his mother to England.

On the one hand, this makes it easier for Qin Miao to take care of her, and on the other hand, with her mother by her side, Qin Miao will feel less unfamiliar with a foreign country.

But her mother finally refused. No matter how nice a foreign country is, it is not home, and Qin Miao, who works and lives in the UK, is no different from other people who go to big cities to work.

The most important thing is that after living with neighbors for so many years, my mother doesn’t want to make new friends. The key is that my mother’s spoken English is not good, although everyone knows that after staying abroad for a period of time, her speaking ability will improve. You can come up.

But as I just said, now that you are rich and free, there is no need to torture yourself in a completely unfamiliar environment abroad. It is good to stay in your comfort zone.

True freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but not doing anything when you don't want to do anything.

Since his mother didn't want to go to England, Qin Miao didn't force her.

Before Qin Miao went to Shanghai, he left two bank cards for his mother. One was given by Qin Miao, worth 100 million, and the other was given by Qiu Meng, also worth 100 million.

At least these two cards can ensure that my mother will not be short of money at home. It is Qin Miao's mother's own business if she wants to go to work to kill time.

Qiu Meng's parents were persuaded by Qiu Meng, and they decided not to hold a banquet if they didn't want to.

Unlike Qin Miao's mother, after knowing that their daughter had free wealth and a stable job that they didn't need to worry about, the couple started exercising at home and planned to go out and play when the epidemic was over.

In fact, Qiu Meng had transferred money to them both in the name of Qin Miao a long time ago, but before seeing her daughter, they still felt a little afraid to spend the money carelessly.

It wasn't until they met Qiu Meng and Qin Miao to confirm the matter between the two children that they dared to spend the money with peace of mind.

After settling their parents, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng went to Shanghai again.

The reason why they did not continue to accompany their parents at home was because they had not seen each other for a long time. Both Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were very greedy for each other's body, but during this period they both lived at their parents' house. , there is simply no time and opportunity to come out.

On the other hand, Qin Miao's return to China was discovered.

But this is not surprising. After all, Qin Miao always turns on the camera during the live broadcast. The interior decoration of foreign buildings is very different from that in China.

Another thing is that when Qin Miao plays the game, he obviously plays on a domestic server, and the players he matches are all domestic players.

From this point, we can easily infer that the news that Qin Miao has returned to China is not a secret to anyone who cares.

After knowing that Qin Miao was in China, Qin Yun sent an invitation to Qin Miao and wanted to compete with Qin Miao on the track again.

Originally, Qin Miao wanted to refuse, but Qin Yun also said that if Qin Miao agreed, he could lend Qin Miao his private plane and take him to the UK.

Qin Miao, who was worried about not being able to buy a plane ticket, agreed to the request on the spot as soon as he heard the news.

Due to the epidemic, there are indeed flights from foreign countries to China, but there are no domestic flights to foreign countries.

So if Qin Miao wanted to return to the UK, in addition to asking Boss Zhou to borrow a plane, the only thing left was to call Toto or Hamilton and borrow their private plane.

But this will inevitably make Qin Miao owe them a favor. After all, the loss and expense of using a plane are not cheap at all.

It was easy to borrow the plane from Toto, but if Toto's plane couldn't leave and Qin Miao had to borrow it from Hamilton, it would be difficult to return the favor.

Now that there is a way to borrow a plane without owing any favors, Qin Miao naturally has no reason to refuse.

Moreover, Qin Miao also has a certain friendship with the other party. The most important thing is that this is Qin Miao's future home court after all. When will the Chinese Grand Prix restart? Now he needs to be more familiar with and understand his home court, no matter what No matter what, I have to raise my proficiency on this track to over 1000.

Naturally, Qin Miao would not miss this opportunity to win two birds with one stone.

What Qin Miao didn't know was that when Qin Yun sent him the invitation, he felt very uneasy.

Because since Qin Miao entered F2, Qin Yun has been paying attention to Qin Miao like she is paying attention to Zhou Guanyu.

Then as Qin Miao's performance got better and better, Qin Yun also liked Qin Miao more and more, and now she has really become a fan of Qin Miao.

After successfully chasing stars, Qin Yun knew that she had actually competed with Qin Miao on the same track. After returning home, she really didn't sleep all night.

And this time she invited Qin Miao over. Qin Yun really just wanted to meet her idol as a powerful fan. At the same time, she also wanted to compete with Qin Miao on the court and see what she had done in the past. Qin Miao, who was able to prevent himself from doubting his life on the court, now has an unparalleled defensive ability.

After the plane landed in Shanghai, the hotel where Qin Miao and Qiu Meng stayed was still the same hotel where they went to attend the event with the invitation letter from Boss Zhou.

The next day, Qin Miao went to the competition alone.

As for why Qiu Meng was not brought along, on the one hand, it was because Qiu Meng was bored in the stands for a long time last time Qin Miao competed. This time Qiu Meng would rather stay in the hotel to see what her company’s employees were doing during this period. Advertiser cooperation reports coming over.

On the other hand, it’s because Qiu Meng hasn’t woken up yet. Even if she wakes up, she probably won’t be able to go downstairs...
