The next day, Zhang Yifei met Ah Hu and Brother Zhi early in the morning, and went to Guangzhou-Shenzhen International Airport together, preparing to take a plane to Singapore to meet the team.

Originally, Zhang Zhiguo wanted to send Zhang Yifei off, after all, it was rare for the father and son to get along for a day or two after a year. However, Zhang Yifei refused, and told the old man to have time to repair the Duke of Nissan who smashed the front of the car as soon as possible.

Because Zhang Yifei last night, it could be seen from the spotless appearance of the Duke of Nissan that Wang Glasses and his father must have cherished this car very much. And it is estimated that the New Year is big, and I also want to drive this car to increase my face during the New Year.

Although the car was not crashed by himself, Zhang Yifei didn't want Wang Glasses to have a bad year because of this incident. Since it has been said that it will be repaired as new, let's do it as soon as possible, and don't let the scene of "father's love like a mountain" three years ago be staged again.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were not many passengers at Guangshen International Airport, but in order to avoid trouble, Zhang Yifei took the VIP channel this time.

Sitting on the sofa in the lounge, waiting for the boarding time to come, the mobile phone ringing in Zhang Yifei's pocket rang.

casually took out his mobile phone from his pocket and glanced at the name displayed on it, but Zhang Yifei was stunned.

Because it wasn't the old man or Wang Glasses who called, nor the team members, but He Ziling!

Carefully calculated, Zhang Yifei has been in contact with He Ziling for almost a year, on the one hand, because he is too busy, and on the other hand, Zhang Yifei doesn't know what to say many times.

At one time, there was only one layer of window paper left between the two people that was not pierced, but as time went on, this layer of window paper became thicker and thicker, so that both people began to see each other clearly.

He Ziling was originally a typical oriental female character, completely different from Sophia, and rarely did anything out of the ordinary. As long as Zhang Yifei doesn't take the initiative, even if she has any ideas in her heart, she is just waiting passively.

But Zhang Yifei's role is really to implement the driver does not need a woman to the end, and it is not his forte to talk about love, and then the professional competition became nervous, and there was only one thing left in his mind about how to defeat the opponent, how could he have time to think about women?

In a sense, Zhang Yifei can understand why Senna made the move of "abandoning his wife and children". Because human energy is limited, and in the F1 paddock, where everyone can call a talented driver, you have to pay a price if you want to beat everyone and get to the top.

Especially for Chinese drivers like Zhang Yifei, in addition to competition in the F1 paddock, there is also public opinion and discrimination outside the field. He has no qualifications to make mistakes and failures, and he cannot be tolerated like European and American drivers, and if he does not make a name for himself in the first year with Prost, he may not be able to predict that no team will give him a second chance!

In addition, Zhang Yifei's ambition and layout are equivalent to adding another lever to the consequences of failure.

Other drivers are really mixed up in F1, but it's a big deal that Lao Tzu won't mix, take a step back and run other cars, don't you have the strength to crush all living beings?

But Zhang Yifei can't retreat, if he can't get along, what will Huali Group do? What to do with Formula Base? What about the future development of the automotive industry and motorsport?

Huali Group can be said to have sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman, mortgaged his assets and everything, and frantically poached corners from other domestic automobile manufacturers, and made a shocking gamble with himself.

If this bet is lost, it is not only Zhang Yifei's arrogant ambition, but also the dream of driving the development of China's automobile industry will not be realized. This group of China's top technicians in Europe has wasted development time in vain and delayed the development of the original historical process, and it is not too much to say that they are historical sinners in the future.

How great the ability is, how much responsibility there is, so many times Zhang Yifei is walking on thin ice and devoting himself to professional events, but the private affairs of his children are put in general.

"Brother Fei, why don't you answer the phone?"

Seeing Zhang Yifei holding his mobile phone, Ah Hu next to him was unclear, so he reminded him.

Hearing Ah Hu's voice, Zhang Yifei recovered from his hesitation, nodded at him, and pressed the call button on his mobile phone.

"Happy New Year."

He Ziling's voice came from the other end of the phone, still the kind of soft-spoken greeting.

"Happy New Year."

Zhang Yifei also replied, but after this sentence, the other end of the phone was silent, and Zhang Yifei didn't know what to say.

More than ten seconds passed like this, and He Ziling spoke again: "I heard that you came back last night, are you still at home now?" ”

The incident of Zhang Yifei's appearance in Qixing Mountain last night has almost spread throughout the Guangzhou-Shenzhen racing world at this moment, even professional drivers like He Lang know about it, and He Ziling also learned about it from his brother.

"No, I'm at the airport right now, ready to travel to Singapore."

"You're leaving now?"

He Ziling's voice was surprised, she didn't expect Zhang Yifei to leave after just going home for a day.

"Well, the new season is about to start and the opener is important."

"Then why didn't you let me know when you came back?"

He Ziling, who was on the other end of the phone, finally couldn't help but ask, she thought that she could at least meet Zhang Yifei in Guangshen, but she never waited for his call.

Faced with such a question, Zhang Yifei didn't know how to answer.

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to make a phone call to He Ziling, but the time he spent at home was too short, and he didn't know how to face He Ziling at this point in time.

seems to be beyond friendship, but the lovers are not full, and more importantly, Sophia's bonds, Zhang Yifei doesn't want to be the kind of man who steps on two boats.

Instead of playing all kinds of ambiguities, it is better to devote yourself to professional events, and wait until you reach the top of your life, and then examine your inner belonging.

So he planned to send He Ziling a New Year's message after returning to Singapore, but he didn't expect He Ziling to call first.

"Time is too tight, sorry."

Zhang Yifei can only use time as an excuse, and objectively speaking, this is not entirely an excuse.

"Is it really time?"

He Ziling, who has always been more gentle and elegant, did not choose to compromise this time, but asked again.

She had been waiting for Zhang Yifei to take that step towards her, but she had never waited. At this moment, she couldn't care about being reserved anymore, and wanted to ask Zhang Yifei for an answer.

"I ......"

Just as Zhang Yifei spoke, Ah Hu's shout came from the side: "Brother Fei, get ready to board." ”

Ah Hu has always had a loud voice, so this sentence was naturally heard by He Ziling on the other end of the phone.

"I'm on the plane."

Zhang Yifei swallowed back what he wanted to say and replaced it with another sentence.

"Well, then I wish you all the best."

He Ziling's voice was a little gloomy, this was the courage she had finally mustered.

Although Zhang Yifei is not good at falling in love, he is basically sophisticated, and he will not become a stunned young man. He Ziling's emotional changes, he can also feel it.

"Thank you."

After saying this, Zhang Yifei was about to hang up the phone, but at this moment, He Ziling's voice came from the other end of the phone again.

"Yifei, I look forward to seeing the day when you achieve your dreams."

He Ziling also stayed abroad with Zhang Yifei for a few months and witnessed Zhang Yifei's initial difficult moments.

So she knows what Zhang Yifei's goals and dreams are, and she also knows the hardships and efforts he has put in for it. No matter what the relationship between the two is now, He Ziling sincerely hopes to see Zhang Yifei achieve his dream and live up to all that he has paid.

"I'll let you see it."

After saying this, Zhang Yifei took the phone away from his ear and prepared to press the hang up button.

However, when his finger was parked on it, he hesitated, and the talk time on it was always moving, and He Ziling on the other end of the phone did not hang up.

"I'm sorry, but I really can't afford to lose."

Picking up the phone, Zhang Yifei spoke again, this is his heartfelt words, and it is also an apology to He Ziling.

"I understand, then let's race on the track and become a real car god!"

Zhang Yifei also understood what He Ziling meant, only the F1 world champion can be worthy of the word "car god", and she supports her decision.

"The next time you see me, it's the World Champion standing in front of you!"

After saying this, Zhang Yifei hung up the phone, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of determination, and he did not have the indecisiveness of his previous children's relationship.

The flight time from Guangzhou-Shenzhen International Airport to Singapore is not very long, compared with the kind of intercontinental flights, which can easily take a day, four hours almost in a flash, and it landed at Singapore's Changi Airport at noon.

In the parking lot, Yamamoto Youkyo was already waiting there in a business car, and when he saw Zhang Yifei come out, he greeted them warmly, and then drove them to the hotel where they stayed.

The Singapore circuit, like the Guia and Monaco circuits, is a street race, so it can only be called a track on the days of the race, and it is an ordinary street at a normal time.

So Zhang Yifei did not go directly to the track to watch the layout as before, but first returned to the hotel to rest.

"Ukyo, how's the pit building?"

Zhang Yifei opened his mouth to ask, after all, it was the opening game of the new season, and there was a good fortune in Chinese tradition, so he still attached more importance to it.

"The main structure has been completed, and the main wiring is slow because of the streets. In addition, Singapore is a new track this year, and both the team and the organizer lack experience, so it may take a little longer. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei nodded, and he expected these difficulties in his heart.

However, the current Prost team has already replenished the crew, so the progress will not be as rushed as last year's lack of manpower, which is not a big problem.

"What about race cars?"

Hearing Zhang Yifei ask about the car again, Yamamoto Youkyo felt that he was a little too worried, so he smiled and said: "Yifei-kun, don't worry, we now have a top car team."

"The only suspense now is to see how you play on the Singapore circuit."

"There's no suspense about this."

Zhang Yifei replied without modesty, he must win the opening race of this year's Singapore circuit, and he is very confident.

When Yamamoto Ukyo heard this, the expression on his face was a little surprised.

In the past, Zhang Yifei sometimes showed a more confident attitude, but there has never been a track, Zhang Yifei gave a positive answer before he ran like today.

You must know that this is a new track that no one has ever run, and it is also a night battle that has created F1 history, where does Zhang Yifei's confidence come from?

"Yifei-kun, I think it's better to be cautious."

Yamamoto Youkyo reminded him euphemistically, he has always been a more cautious character, and he was worried that Zhang Yifei had achieved nothing but last year, so his mentality was a little inflated this year.

The biggest risk is to be complacent, never underestimate the opponents in the F1 paddock, even if it is the bottom one, it is a driver who has stood at the top of the field, otherwise he will not even be qualified to enter the field!

"Youjing, I know what you're worried about, and you'll know when the time comes."

Zhang Yifei replied with a smile, not that arrogant and arrogant attitude, on the contrary, he replied very calmly.

Hearing Zhang Yifei's answer, Yamamoto Youkyo relaxed a little and nodded at him.

Back at the hotel, the members of the strategy team were already waiting here, welcoming Zhang Yifei's return.

Boss Prost's attitude was the most enthusiastic, because Zhang Yifei's fastest lap during the winter test brought the team $31.2 million in advertising sponsorship, of which France Telecom won $20 million.

The 20 million dollar sponsorship fee made Prost happy, but also sighed that the world was cold. Because when the fleet was about to go bankrupt, France Telecom was one of the several "life-saving" companies he came into contact with.

At that time, let alone 20 million US dollars, let them see that for the sake of the French team, the 2 million US dollars were delayed, and the prevarication depended on whether Renault Group injected capital before giving a final answer.

However, this sponsorship negotiation went very smoothly, and France Telecom also released a bold statement to support France's own team, which can be described as two different faces from the beginning, which once made Prost almost wonder if he had hallucinations in life two years ago.

If Prost were Chinese, he would have sighed: The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!

As for Cosell's still old-fashioned, lukewarm attitude, Zhang Yifei has long been used to it.

However, after a glance around, he found that there was one missing person from the main team, and that was the team's No. 2 driver, Alonso, who was not in the crowd.

How can I say that I am also teammates with him now, and I always have to do some superficial work, could it be that I haven't seen him for a while, and Alonso's "team cancer" problem is starting to attack?
