How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 98: Chapter 96: The first day of employment

After arriving in Maranello, the two were not directly taken by Lubos to report to Ferrari's headquarters. He first took the two to a place surrounded by guardrails that looked like an independent community.

"This is the dormitory prepared by Ferrari for the employees, which is your residence for the next period of time. Of course, you can move out if you rent the house yourself. Ferrari has no restrictions on these." Lubosi introduced.

Then he led the two into a house.

These houses are divided into upper and lower floors, but these two floors are independent of each other.

Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were assigned to the upper floor. They walked up the stairs inside the house to the second floor. Lu Bosi pushed open the door which was not locked at all.

After entering the house, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng looked at the place curiously.

The interior furnishings of the house are very ordinary, not luxurious, but it can be seen that someone often cleans it very clean. The room is filled with various items that are often used in life, so the interior of the house does not appear empty, but has a sense of home. warm feeling.

The size of the house is moderate, more than 60 square meters by visual inspection, but Qin Miao, who has just entered the door, can't tell which rooms are there.

"The property rights of this community are all in the hands of Ferrari, so you don't need to pay rent when you work and live in Ferrari. Of course, the water, electricity and heating are taken care of by yourself."

Lubosi took out a set of keys from the shoe cabinet at the entrance and handed them to Qin Miao: "This is your key, don't lose it, although there are spare keys in the company, but if you lose the key, please contact the logistics department If you do, you will inevitably be complained."

When Lubosi said this, his face was a little unnatural. If there is no accident, he should have a dark history in this regard.

Qiu Meng took the key and thanked her.

After confirming that Qin Miao and Qiumeng were satisfied with the house here and did not ask for a replacement, Lu Bosi said: "If you are satisfied with the house, put your luggage down. It is very safe here and no one will touch your things. Next we will Lunch in the cafeteria, then the museum factory and company."

The place to eat is a restaurant not far from the house where Qin Miao and the others live, and it only takes about 5 minutes to walk there.

The restaurant looks normal on the outside, just a nicely decorated Italian restaurant.

But after walking in, I found that the racing elements inside the restaurant are very strong.

There are murals of Ferrari racing cars on the walls, and even all the table edges have a layer of Ferrari red and black borders as edging.

The chair is also a bit like the fully-enclosed racing seat, but for the comfort of the ride, the middle of the chair is hollowed out.

At the same time, since it was time for dinner, there were quite a lot of people eating in the restaurant, so Qin Miao saw many staff members wearing Ferrari red uniforms.

During the meal, Qin Miao tried lasagne and ice cream.

How should I put it, these two special Italian dishes are rich in taste and good in taste, and Qin Miao likes them on the whole.

Of course, this can only be eaten as a meal replacement. If Qin Miao is asked to eat this every day, he may go crazy.

So after eating, Qin Miao asked Lu Bosi: "Lu Bosi, is there any Chinese restaurant near here?"

Lubosi recalled it slightly, and then said: "There seems to be a Chinese restaurant nearby, but I haven't eaten there. Why do you ask this?"

Qin Miao said with some embarrassment: "I'm not saying that Italian food is not delicious, but as a Chinese, it is inevitable that I will not get used to eating without rice..."

"Oh, you said this, you don't have to worry at all." Lubosi said with a smile: "In the future, you won't have any worries about this, because from tomorrow when you officially join the job, your diet will be controlled and specially assigned .”

Qin Miao: ...?
"What do you mean?" Qin Miao suddenly had a bad feeling.

The smile on Lubosi's face was a bit weird: "It means that starting from the official entry tomorrow, it is not up to you to decide what you want to eat."

For a moment, Qin Miao felt that even if she didn't eat Chinese food, it was okay to just eat the food that the locals love...

After eating, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng entered the Ferrari Museum led by Lubosi.

Ferrari's headquarters is not tall, basically all buildings are two-story, but the area is not small.

Along the way, Lubosi didn't look like a physical trainer at all, but like a tour guide. With an unconcealed pride on his face, he introduced the history of Ferrari and the corporate culture of the factory and facilities to Qin Miao.

After entering the museum, the first thing that caught Qin Miao's attention was a neat row of more than a dozen Ferrari F1 cars, filling the field of vision of visitors entering the Ferrari Museum for the first time in a semicircular posture.

The visual impact of more than a dozen F1 racing cars appearing in a huge space immediately after entering the museum is extremely strong.

Each F1 car has its name on the front, the name of the driver, and the achievements of the car during the season.

Qin Miao just looked at each car.

After walking through this area, what Qin Miao saw was a huge honor wall. Behind the honor wall were many famous classic Ferrari sports cars.

The wall of honor is full of trophies of different sizes, large and small, all of which have been honored by Ferrari.

At the bottom is a row of portraits, most of which are drivers, and a few are humerus ministers who have made outstanding contributions to Ferrari.

At the same time, there will be a black sign in front of all sports cars, on which is written the model of the car, the year of finalization, engine data, and an introduction in English and Italian.

There is one thing to say, this place is really a dream paradise for ordinary racers.

What attracts them is not only these classic Ferrari sports cars full of design aesthetics, but also the honor that is full of walls.

These things are extremely desirable for any aspiring driver.

It is also an incentive in disguise to take their new drivers or staff to visit the Ferrari museum before joining Ferrari.

But to be honest, Qin Miao really didn't have a deep understanding.

Perhaps because of the different growth environments, Qin Miao doesn't have much feeling for agreeing with a company's culture.

Although Qin Miao likes Ferrari cars and their designs, he really has no way to identify with Ferrari like other Italians or young people who have dreams of children.

After walking around the museum, the only thing that touched Qin Miao was: Ferrari's design is really awesome. No matter when the super sports car is, it looks so domineering and full of racing aesthetics.

And Lu Bosi, who has been introducing all this to Qin Miao and Qiu Meng, always has a faint smile on his face.

This may be his confidence as an Italian and the pride of Ferrari staff.

It took the three of them nearly an hour to visit the museum. After the visit, the three of them did not go directly to the factory.

Instead, I went to the lounge that Ferrari prepared for employees for a while.

Ferrari's museum is open to everyone, even tourists can go in, and naturally there is no break at noon.

But the factory is different. The workers in the factory have set working hours. Although they often work overtime, they usually work overtime at night, and the lunch break is still given to the employees.

And the lounge is not boring, after all, it is a racing company, in addition to watching TV, drinking drinks, playing arcade, there are also racing simulators to play in the lounge.

Stayed in the lounge until around two o'clock in the afternoon. After drinking the last drink, the three of them got up together and prepared to walk towards the Ferrari factory.

The three of them soon came to Ferrari's factory. The building was not tall, but it was very long, at least 30 meters by visual inspection.

Leaving aside the appearance, Ferrari's factory buildings are very similar to those rectangular blue-roof factories in domestic heavy industrial parks.

The first floor is just an ordinary glass curtain wall, but the shutters are drawn inside for shading. On the far left of the second floor is a huge Ferrari Logo, which is about two-thirds the size of the floor. It is also a combination of Ferrari's classic red and black and white lines.

There is one thing to say, it is worthy of being engaged in sports car design, this factory building is full of beauty, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng thought this building was beautiful at first sight.

But just as the three of them were about to go in for a visit, a person patted Qin Miao on the shoulder from behind.

Qin Miao turned around in doubt, and then froze in place in astonishment.

And the person who patted Qin Miao on the shoulder was also a little surprised.

"It's really you..."

"Leclerc?"

The two were surprised almost at the same time.

At this time, Qin Miao was still wearing her own casual clothes, and with Lu Bosi leading her, Qin Miao was not worried that she would not be able to get in if she was wearing casual clothes.

Looking at Qin Miao's attire, Leclerc felt that Qin Miao might be here for a trip.

So he kindly warned: "This is Ferrari's factory, tourists can't go there.

If you are traveling, I suggest you visit the Ferrari museum. "

After Qin Miao found out that the person who called her was Leclerc, she was even more surprised.

Why can a person like Leclerc remember himself who only met once?
But after hearing Leclerc's question, Qin Miao subconsciously said, "I'm not here for tourism, I'm here for work."

Leclerc was full of doubts.

Lu Bosi stood up and explained: "Qin Miao is a youth training driver we just signed."

Leclerc raised his eyebrows, and then put a smile on his face, dimples even appeared on his handsome face: "Really? Then I have the same vision as the person who signed Qin Miao, and I also think Qin Miao is a very Talented driver."

"Congratulations! I'm really happy for you."

Even Leclerc deliberately leaned over to shake hands with Qin Miao and hugged him, looking at Qin Miao full of disbelief and surprise.

Faced with Leclerc's compliment, Qin Miao was a little embarrassed for a while.

Facing other people's praise, Qin Miao accepted it with a slight smile, but Leclerc is a real F1 driver, and his status as an F1 driver alone is enough to make Qin Miao put away the arrogance in his heart Let alone Leclerc's almost overflowing talent.

"I'm sorry, I may not be as good as you think." Qin Miao said modestly.

Although he knows that Chinese people like to be modest, Leclerc usually has little contact with him and does not have a specific feeling.

After getting to know Qin Miao now, Leclerc finally knows why they are said to be modest.

Leclerc knew that if you didn't have quality and talent, you wouldn't be able to get into Ferrari's youth academy.

Before each youth training driver signs a contract, the senior management of Ferrari youth training will have extremely strict review and evaluation.

After all, after signing you, Ferrari needs to invest resources to train you, and it is impossible to sign an idiot.

Therefore, no one who can enter the Ferrari youth training has... well, Mick is an exception, but other than him, everyone else has something in their hands.

But this is the kind of person who still has to be humble when faced with a sentence that is at best a boast of himself...

Now Leclerc is clearly aware of the introvertedness in the bones of the people of this country.

Hey... Wait a minute, it seems that Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao are compatriots, but why don't you see him being as humble as Qin Miao when you get along with him?

……

"Then who are you now?" Leclerc asked Qin Miao, dismissing the thoughts in his mind.

Pointing to the entrance of the Ferrari factory, Qin Miao said, "Lu Bosi is going to take me and Qiumeng to visit the Ferrari factory."

"That's good, let's go in together, I still have work to do in the factory today."

Qin Miao really didn't expect that he would meet Leclerc again on the first day of his employment. The key is that Leclerc still remembers himself.

After the three of them entered the factory, Leclerc separated from Qin Miao directly. He still had a German Grand Prix to run this week, and he had to fly to Germany in the afternoon, so he didn't have much time to waste, so he hurriedly Went to work inside the factory.

The three of Qin Miao visited the production lines of Ferrari's various super sports cars, as well as Ferrari's CNC parts processing center.

After visiting these, I went to the F1 factory.

But Qin Miao and Qiu Meng couldn't go to some places.

For reasons of confidentiality, outsiders are not allowed to visit the chassis, engine and aerodynamic departments.

Qin Miao can only see the F1 production workshop, and the design department is completely forbidden to him now.

After Qin Miao walked around and came out, he didn't see Leclerc, but it didn't matter at this time.

Because Qin Miao had finished her day's work today, she was running around in the morning, and was taken around the Ferrari factory in the afternoon, even Qin Miao felt a little tired.

Finally, they punched a card in front of the Ferrari company, and the three of them had dinner together. Today's itinerary is considered complete.

After sending Qin Miao and Qiu Meng to their door, Lu Bosi handed a package to Qin Miao: "These are your daily necessities here, such as mobile phones, phone cards, meal cards, employee cards, and schedules. Category.

Originally, there was only one copy, but considering that you have family members, I have prepared two copies for you for daily necessities such as mobile phones. "

"Rest early today and maintain good physical strength." When Lu Bosi said this, he took a special look at Qiumeng, and the meaning in the words was already obvious: "I will come to pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's go for the physical test together, and remember not to eat in the morning."

Qin Miao was puzzled: "Do I still have to do a blood test?"

Lubosi nodded: "The physical examination is a necessary process, and we don't want any physical problems with the drivers who have spent all our resources to train."

Qin Miao nodded clearly.

"Then I won't disturb your rest, see you tomorrow morning." Lu Bosi got off work immediately after seeing that Qin Miao was clear.

Qin Miao also thanked the other party: "I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Lubos nodded and turned to leave.
