207 New North Circuit (Chapter 3)
Zhang Yifei, who is in Germany, did not know about the domestic media communication, after all, "China Sports News" only authorized the report from the Renault Media Center, not directly interviewed Zhang Yifei.
It wasn't until the next day that Zhang Yifei's mobile phone rang, showing Wang Glasses' number, that he knew that the news of his championship had spread to China.
", you didn't even call me when you won the championship, if I hadn't bought the latest car magazine today and saw your photo published on the cover, I wouldn't have known that your kid had won the championship!"
Wang Glasses's tone was extremely excited, even if he was thousands of miles away on the other end of the phone, Zhang Yifei could feel the excitement of this kid.
This is the championship I won the sub-station, why did this kid Wang Glasses do the same as if he won the championship.
"It's just a junior formula champion, calm down, don't act like you haven't seen the world."
After saying this, Zhang Yifei immediately changed his voice: "Is it true that my photo is published on the cover of the magazine, what level of magazine, is my photo on the cover handsome?" ”
Zhang Yifei asked like a serial cannon, and Wang Glasses on the other end of the phone replied with disdain: "Damn, I said calm just now, but I'm still shameless as always!" ”
"Each other, you kid is not much better."
"But then again, you kid didn't call me after the college entrance examination, what the hell is going on."
When Zhang Yifei got the European Formula Renault quota before, he wanted to make a call to Wang Glasses. It's just that there were only a few days left before the college entrance examination at that time, and he didn't notify Wang Glasses in order not to affect the college entrance examination.
Later, he came to Europe and was busy preparing for this series of events, and Zhang Yifei also forgot about making phone calls.
He thought that after Wang Glasses finished the college entrance examination, he would make a phone call to tell him about the situation. As a result, I didn't expect that it had been a month, and Wang Glasses still saw the car magazine report, so he remembered to call himself, which was too unrighteous.
"I was going to inform you after the college entrance examination, but at that time, I passed by your car repair shop, and Uncle Zhang told me that you were preparing to go to Europe to compete. So I thought, wait until the results of the college entrance examination come out, and then call to tell you. ”
"What happened to the results of the college entrance examination?"
After Zhang Yifei asked this, there was no voice from Wang Glasses on the other end of the phone, but there was silence for a while.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Yifei knew that the result would definitely not be good, otherwise according to Wang Glasses's character, if it was a good thing, he would definitely tell himself triumphantly.
"I'm sorry Yifei, I didn't fulfill my previous promise to apply for the automotive engineering major in Yanjing."
Wang Glasses on the other end of the phone spoke in a very low tone, when they were still in school, the two teenagers agreed together to compete on the track together in the future.
But as a result, Zhang Yifei fulfilled his promise and came to Europe to win the formula championship, creating the history of Chinese racing.
And he became a shameful deserter, and he did not choose to fight side by side with Zhang Yifei.
"It doesn't matter, everyone has their own choices, and maybe racing is not for you."
Zhang Yifei comforted Wang Glasses, there are countless examples of this kind of agreement when he was young, and there are countless examples that have not been completed later, who has not had a few initial dreams, and how many people can complete them?
Maybe that's not a bad thing, because for Wang Glasses, racing is not necessarily a good fit for his personality.
"It's not Yifei, it's because of Lu Xiaoman, she applied for Guangshen University, so I finally filled in the same school as her."
"So you chose to be heavy on color and light on friends?"
Zhang Yifei replied helplessly, this kid had already hooked up with Lu Xiaoman before the college entrance examination, and he almost didn't pierce that layer of window paper, but he didn't expect to abandon his brother in the end.
"One Fly, I'm ......"
Wang Glasses didn't hear the joke in Zhang Yifei's words, he still felt a kind of guilt.
"Come on, don't do this, you kid, it's like you've abandoned me. Since you choose to go to Guangshen University to focus on sex and light friends, then take advantage of the opportunity, I don't want to see you as a licking dog when I return to China. ”
"No, lick until there is nothing left, this is what you taught me."
"Then remember it well, by the way, what major did you take the exam to Guangshen University."
"Department of Computer Science."
When he heard this, Zhang Yifei remembered a big man in later generations, who seemed to have graduated from the computer department of Guangshen University, and also created a company called Penguin.
"There is a future, if you meet a senior named Brother Xiao Ma in the future to start a business, remember to hug his thighs."
"What little brother, do you mean "The True Colors of Heroes"?"
Regarding Zhang Yifei's inexplicable words, Wang Glasses didn't understand it at all.
"Forget it, I guess you kid won't be able to hold this kind of thigh, just study hard anyway."
Now it's 1999, and when Wang Glasses graduates, it's 03 years, and Penguin has gone through the most difficult period, and will be listed on Hong Kong Island in 04 years to get rid of financial difficulties.
Now Zhang Yifei really has no money, otherwise he would have hugged Brother Xiaoma's thighs by himself.
After chatting casually with Wang Glasses about the recent situation, the two of them hung up the phone, after all, many times as they grow older, childhood partners cannot stay together forever, and everyone has their own dreams and directions.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yifei continued to learn racing knowledge and physical training as usual.
But soon the phone in the room rang again, this time from the hotel front desk.
"Mr. Zhang Yifei, there is a gentleman at the front desk looking for you, he said that he is from Hong Kong Island, do you need to confirm with him by phone?"
Coming from Hong Kong Island?
Hearing this, Zhang Yifei was a little stunned, there are not many people on Hong Kong Island who know him, except for Uncle Lu, who is basically familiar with Xie Tiancheng.
If Uncle Lu comes, he will definitely contact him, and he doesn't need to contact through the hotel front desk.
Even if it is Xie Tiancheng, he has his own phone number, and this guy is in the ARTA team in Japan, preparing to compete in the All Japan GT Championship, and he must be in the midst of a tense event, how can he come to Germany to find himself.
With full of doubts, Zhang Yifei asked the hotel front desk to give the phone to the other party, wanting to find out who was coming, and just say a few words to him.
"Hello, Zhang Yifei."
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, Zhang Yifei sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
"You are?"
"Zhou Yunhui."
"Wan Chai car god?"
Even if Zhang Yifei was asked to guess it, he would never have imagined that it would be Zhou Yunhui, the car god of Wanchai, who came to find him today.
How could this guy come to Germany to find him, could it be that he still doesn't give up and plans to run with him?
If this is really the case, Zhang Yifei may agree. He has never seen such a person with such perseverance anyway, he can be described by the word "god", and he is sorry for Zhou Yunhui for coming all the way to Germany without running.
"I'm sorry, how did you come back to Germany, but you still found the hotel where I stayed. Big brother, you're not here to run with me, are you? ”
"I had this idea, but I didn't come to you specifically to have a fight with you."
"Then how did you come to Germany?"
"Why don't you come down and talk face-to-face?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yifei remembered that the two of them were on the phone, so he promised: "You wait a minute, I'll come down immediately." ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yifei walked out of the room and took the elevator to the hotel lobby.
Coming out of the elevator, I saw the sofa in the hall from a distance, and Zhou Yunhui was sitting there looking at himself.
Seeing Zhou Yunhui who suddenly appeared, Zhang Yifei felt a kind of unreal, those pictures on the streets of Hong Kong Island surfaced at the beginning, and it was clear that less than a year had passed, and it felt as if a century had passed.
Street and profession are really two completely different worlds.
"Why are you here?"
Zhang Yifei asked this question as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was really a little curious.
"Thank you, Tiancheng should have told you everything about me."
"Hmm."
Zhang Yifei nodded, Xie Tiancheng told him the story of Zhou Yunhui at the beginning.
"I used to be a professional driver and then I signed with Volvo and became a development driver for them. If all goes well, you will have the opportunity to become a test driver of the Volvo team and test the DTM track. ”
"Later, the car gambling incident was exposed, and I was terminated by the rich team, you know all this."
"I know that."
"So I'll get to the point, two months ago, a team finally passed my career assessment and thought I could be their development driver, so I came to Germany and became a professional driver again."
When he said this, Zhou Yunhui's tone was a little excited, and he could feel how many difficulties he had experienced in the middle of becoming a professional driver again.
"The team is Opel, they withdrew from the German DTM in '96 and are going to restart this year, that's why I'm in Germany."
The Opel team? Zhang Yifei didn't expect Zhou Yunhui to join the Opel team, a car brand that originated in Germany, but to be precise, it should be regarded as a subsidiary of General Motors.
This car brand once entered the country for a short time, and withdrew after a mess of sales, but the well-known domestic Buick LaCrosse, Yinglang and other car series in later generations actually have the bloodline of Opel cars.
It's just that this team doesn't seem to have a good performance in DTM, and it can't support it anymore and quit.
However, this may also be the reason for signing Zhou Yunhui, otherwise the old German powerhouses in DTM, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi will not sign a Chinese driver.
"I saw the TV report yesterday, I didn't expect you to have won the championship, and sure enough, I didn't look away on Hong Kong Island, you are indeed not an ordinary street rider."
"So you came to the door today, you didn't want to run the street with me, did you?"
Zhang Yifei laughed and joked, now he is not interested in street racing.
"It's not about running the streets."
"So what's running?"
"Track, New North Circuit!"
