699 I really can't afford to lose (extended)(1/2)
The next day, Zhang Yifei met Ahu and Zhige early in the morning, and went to Guangzhou-Shenzhen International Airport together, preparing to fly to Singapore to meet with the convoy.
Originally, Zhang Zhiguo wanted to send Zhang Yifei away. After all, the father and son rarely spend a year together for a day or two. However, Zhang Yifei refused and told the old man to have time to repair the Duke Nissan who had the car as soon as possible.
Because Zhang Yifei could see from Duke Nissan's spotless appearance last night that Wang Yanjing's father must have cherished this car very much. He also wanted to drive this car to pay New Year's greetings to increase his face.
Although this car was not broken by itself, Zhang Yifei didn't want Wang Yanjing to live a difficult year because of this incident. Since he said that he would repair Ruxin, he should do it earlier and don't let the scene of "father's love is like a mountain" three years ago be staged again.
There are not many passengers at Guangzhou-Shenzhen International Airport on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but in order to avoid trouble, Zhang Yifei walked through the VIP channel this time.
Sitting on the sofa in the lounge, waiting for the arrival of boarding time, but the ringtone of the cell phone in Zhang Yifei's pocket rang.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket and glanced at the name displayed on it, but Zhang Yifei was stunned.
Because the person who called was not the old man or Wang Yanjiang, nor was he a member of the team, but He Ziling!
After careful calculation, Zhang Yifei has been in almost a year and has not contacted He Ziling. On the one hand, it is because he is too busy, and on the other hand, many times Zhang Yifei doesn’t know what to say.
Once, there was only a layer of window paper left between the two of them and they had not been broken, but as time went by, the layer of window paper became thicker and thicker, making both of them unable to see each other clearly.
He Ziling is originally a typical oriental woman with a completely different personality than Sophia and rarely does anything out of order. As long as Zhang Yifei is not proactive, even if she has any thoughts in her heart, she is just waiting passively.
But the role of Zhang Yifei really implements the driver without women to the end. Talking about love is not his strength. Later, when professional competitions became nervous, the only thing left in his mind is how to defeat his opponents. How can he still have time to think of women?
In a sense, Zhang Yifei can understand why Senna made the move to "abandon his wife and children". Because human energy is limited after all, in the f1 yard where everyone can call a genius driver, if you want to defeat everyone and stand at the top, you have to pay a price.
Especially Chinese drivers like Zhang Yifei, in addition to competition in the f1 paddock, there are also public opinion and discrimination outside the field. He has no qualifications to make mistakes and failures, and cannot be tolerated like European and American drivers. If he cannot gain fame in the Prost team in the first year, he may predict that no team will give him a second chance!
In addition, Zhang Yifei's ambition and layout are equivalent to adding another leverage to the consequences of failure.
If other drivers really get on the f1, at worst, I won’t get on. If you take a step back and run on other racing cars, aren’t they still able to crush all living beings?
But Zhang Yifei can't retreat. If he can't make a living, what should Huali Group do? What should I do if the Formula Base? What should I do if the future development of the automobile industry and motorsports?
Huali Group can be said to be a sacrifice for a gentleman, mortgaged all its assets and other assets, and poached other corners from other domestic auto manufacturers and made a shocking bet with itself.
If this bet is lost, not only Zhang Yifei's arrogant ambitions will be the dream of driving the development of China's automobile industry. Then, these top Chinese technicians who have been cheated in Europe will waste development time and delay the development of the original historical process. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are historical sinners in the future.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, so many times Zhang Yifei is walking on thin ice and devotes himself to professional competitions, but his children's love is just like a person.
"Brother Fei, why don't you answer the phone?"
Seeing Zhang Yifei holding his cell phone, Ahu next to him was stunned, 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 phone.
"Happy New Year, one fly."
He Ziling's voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was still the kind of soft greetings.
"Happy New Year."
Zhang Yifei also replied, but after this sentence, the other end of the phone became silent, and Zhang Yifei didn't know what to say.
After more than ten seconds passed, He Ziling spoke again: "I heard you came back last night. Are you still at home now?"
The incident of Zhang Yifei appearing in Qixing Mountain last night has almost spread throughout the Guangzhou-Shenzhen racing world. 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 now and am ready to go to Singapore."
"You're leaving now?"
He Ziling's voice was very surprised. She had never expected that Zhang Yifei would leave after only one day of stay.
"Well, the new season is about to begin, and the opening game is very important."
"Then why don't you notify me when you come back?"
He Ziling on the other end of the phone finally couldn't help asking. She thought 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, he didn't think about calling He Ziling, but he stayed at home for too short, and he didn't know how he should face He Ziling at this point.
It seems to be beyond friendship, but the lover is not full, and more importantly, it is Sophia's bond. Zhang Yifei doesn't want to be the kind of man who pedals on two boats.
Instead of playing all kinds of ambiguous things, it is better to devote yourself to professional competitions and wait until you reach the peak before examining your inner belongings.
So he planned to send He Ziling a New Year greeting text message after returning to Singapore, but he didn't expect He Ziling to call him 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 a reason for time?"
He Ziling, who has always been 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 for it. At this moment, she no longer cared about being reserved and wanted to ask Zhang Yifei for an answer.
"I……"
Just as Zhang Yifei opened his mouth, Ahu's shout came from beside him: "Brother Fei, you're ready to board the plane."
Ah Hu always had a loud voice, so this sentence was naturally heard by He Ziling on the other end of the phone.
"I'm going to get on the plane."
Zhang Yifei swallowed back what he wanted to say and replaced it with another sentence.
"Well, I wish you all the best."
He Ziling's voice was a little dim, which was the courage she had finally plucked up.
Although Zhang Yifei is not good at talking about love, he will not become a naughty person with basic human nature. He can also feel the emotional changes in He Ziling.
"Thanks."
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 you achieve your dream."
He Ziling spent several months abroad with Zhang Yifei, witnessing Zhang Yifei's initial difficult moments.
So she knew what Zhang Yifei's goals and dreams were, and also knew the hardships and efforts he had put in for him. No matter what the relationship between the two is now, He Ziling sincerely hopes to see Zhang Yifei achieve her dream and live up to all the things she has done.
"I will definitely let you see it."
After saying this, Zhang Yifei took the phone away from his ear and was about to press the hang-up button.
However, when he parked his fingers on it, he hesitated. The call time on it was always walking, 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 said again, this was what he said in his heart, and it was also an apology to He Ziling.
"I understand, then go on the track and become the real car god!"
Zhang Yifei also understood what He Ziling meant. Only the F1 world champion can afford the word "Car God". She supports her decision.
"When you see me next time, the one standing in front of you must be the world champion!"
After saying this, Zhang Yifei hung up the phone, raised his head again, his eyes full of determination, no longer had the indecisiveness of his previous love.
The time it takes to fly to Singapore by Guangzhou-Shenzhen International Airport is not long. Compared with the intercontinental flights that often take one day, four hours pass almost in a flash and lands at Singapore's Changi Airport at noon.
At the parking lot, Yamamoto Ukyo was already waiting there in a business car. When he saw Zhang Yifei coming out, he hugged and greeted him enthusiastically, and then took them to the hotel where he was staying.
Singapore tracks are like Odori Island and Monaco tracks, and they are all street races, so only the few days of the competition can they be called tracks, and the usual time points are ordinary streets.
So Zhang Yifei did not go directly to the track to watch the layout as before, but returned to the hotel to rest first.
"Youjing, how is the repair station built?"
Zhang Yifei asked, after all, it was the opening match of the new season, and there were good luck in Chinese traditions, so he still attached great importance to it.
"The main structure has been completed, and the main wiring process is relatively slow due to the streets. In addition, Singapore is the 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 had expected these difficulties.
However, the current Prost team has already filled up the crew members, so the progress will not be as rushing to work as in short supply last year, which is not a big problem.
"Where is the racing car?"
When he heard Zhang Yifei ask about racing again, Yukyo Yamamoto felt that he was a little worried, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yifeijun, we now have a top team of cars.
"The only suspense now is that you are performing on the Singapore track."
"There is no suspense."
Zhang Yifei replied without any modesty that he must win this opening match of the Singapore track this year, and he is very confident.
When Yamamoto Ukyo heard this, his expression on his face was a little surprised.
In the past, Zhang Yifei sometimes showed a more confident attitude, but there was never a track. Zhang Yifei was like today, and he gave a positive answer directly before he could run.
You should know that this is a new track that no one has ever run, and it is a night battle that has created the history of F1. Where did Zhang Yifei's confidence come from?
"Yifeijun, I think it's better to be more cautious."
Yamamoto Ukyo reminded him tactfully that he has always been cautious and worried that Zhang Yifei had achieved extraordinary results last year, so his mentality has become a little inflated this year.
The biggest risk of being successful at a young age is to be proud and be satisfied. Never underestimate the opponents in the f1 yard. Even the one at the bottom is the driver who has been at the top, otherwise he would not even be qualified to enter the yard!
"Ukyo, I know what you are worried about, you will know then."
