621 Crazy Worship (Chapter 3)
Looking at Zhang Yifei's crying face, Xie Tiancheng couldn't help but laugh, he had only seen a rider who was worshipped on the bayshore before, and was proud or even forgetful.
But I have never seen a person who is more admired, the more uncomfortable it becomes, Zhang Yifei is also a wonder.
"Get out of the car, it looks like you don't want to be an outsider today."
Hearing Xie Tiancheng's words, Zhang Yifei sighed.
"I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn't allow it!"
If it was before, Xie Tiancheng heard Zhang Yifei's words, and what he thought was that this guy started blowing water again.
But now that he heard Zhang Yifei's remarks, Xie Tiancheng thought it was true, with his strength, he really couldn't be low-key anymore.
As the door opened, Zhang Yifei came up from the Honda NSX, and when the drivers saw his face, the audience erupted in violent cheers.
Just as Liu Xiang and Yao Mingneng in later generations became popular in Asia, Zhang Yifei is almost more popular than them now, especially in an old car country like Japan. It can be said that after the Indy 500 event, Zhang Yifei's popularity can be compared to Cheng Long's status in Japan.
Of course, this is in the world of racing, and the general public is still going to be poor, unless he can become the next Schumacher.
"Shw! It turned out to be the Imperial Demon King Fei, no wonder Iide-kun would be so respectful. ”
"Listening to their conversation, Iide-kun seems to have run away with Fei, and there is a difference of more than ten seconds between them and the time when they came to Daikoku, is there such a big gap?"
"Are you kidding? Asia's strongest driver, Your Excellency, may not even be Sato-kun's opponent, and Ide-kun is still too far behind! ”
"The next-generation king actually appeared in the big black PA, and I was able to see His Excellency Zhang Yifei with my own eyes!"
Many of these drivers were excited after Zhang Yifei appeared.
After all, during this time, Zhang Yifei's F1 career experience is simply like a legend. No one could have imagined that an Asian driver would be able to stand on the top podium of F1, let alone conquer the Indy 500.
In one year, he has completed what Japan has not been able to achieve in 50 years, and even far exceeds the results of Japanese formula racing in previous years.
This is the potential of the Continental Empire!
In a remote corner of the Daikoku PA parking lot, a Toyota Crown is parked, but it has not been modified in the VIP style commonly used by the Crown, and it is still a template for a plain car. So the car was parked here and did not attract the attention of any underground riders.
But the passengers of this car have always set their eyes on Zhang Yifei's direction, and their target is also Zhang Yifei.
"President Tomita, do you want me to go down and contact Yifei-kun?"
A middle-aged man in the driver's seat asked a man in the back seat who was about fifty years old and looked like a boss in a suit and leather shoes.
"No, wait a little longer."
This boss who spoke, in fact, Zhang Yifei is not a stranger, and he has even met a few times, he is the manager of the Toyota team and the president of the motorsports department - Tomita Mian.
This time, he and the team leader Ueto Hirakawa came to Daikoku PA just to find an opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with Zhang Yifei.
Zhang Yifei on the other side didn't know that someone had already hit him, he was surrounded by these underground drivers, and he was really a little unable to get out.
"Your Excellency Yifei, sign your name, you are my idol forever!"
"I will chase in your direction for the rest of my life, Your Excellency!"
"Let's run one more lap and let's feel the speed of the Grim Reaper."
"Oni-chan (brother), this is my contact information, if you have any needs and help with things, you can contact me."
"Ah~~! YIFEI-KUN, PLEASE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME, I LOVE YOU! ”
At the beginning, the street riders were quite normal, just the ordinary feeling of seeing idols, but later, as the rampant girls leaned over and looked at these Chinese non-mainstream seniors, the Japanese visual kei girls shouted loudly, and Zhang Yifei felt that goosebumps were about to rise.
I almost forgot that this is the source country of killing Matt, it's a Renaissance and retro era, and it feels like it's all from the Fuai family.
How to say that Zhang Yifei is also the aesthetic after 20 years, and he is really not interested in these little sisters of the rampaging clan.
The problem is Zhang Yifei's limit, that is, he can barely understand some simple Japanese words, and if he wants him to say something, he really can't say it. After laughing awkwardly twice, he leaned his head closer to Xie Tiancheng next to him.
"Now that I'm out of play, how should I withdraw?"
Hearing Zhang Yifei's request for help, Xie Tiancheng smiled, and then shouted in Japanese to the underground riders who were surrounded by groups.
"I'm sorry everyone, but Ichito-kun only came to Japan today, and he is still in a tired state and still preparing for the Japanese Grand Prix. If you support Ichitoki-kun, I would like to go to the Suzuka Circuit on the weekend, so Ichito-kun is leaving first. ”
Hearing Xie Tiancheng say this, these Japanese underground drivers did not have the kind of fanatical star-chasing fans, and continued to surround Zhang Yifei and not let Zhang Yifei leave.
On the contrary, he retreated very respectfully and said: "It's us who are rude, Your Excellency Yifei returns to the hotel, please have a good rest." ”
"I'm sorry Your Excellency, we were so rude."
"We'll be cheering you on at Suzuka Speedway, please win the title, please."
"Come on, Your Excellency, please defend the honor of the king of Asia!"
Among them, there are several girls from the rampant clan, who obviously want to get close to Zhang Yifei, but in this atmosphere, they don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.
Sitting back in the car, driving out of the big black PA, looking at the Japanese underground driver who drove far away and was still waving behind his back, Zhang Yifei was still a little confused to be honest.
"It's as simple as that?"
"Of course, there is a clear distinction between respect and inferiority in the Japanese system, and you are the strongest driver in their eyes, so they will subconsciously obey you."
"Damn, I knew I could get out easily, it's better to let them disperse, I have a good look at the modified car in the big black PA."
Zhang Yifei vaguely regretted it at this time, this kind of underground modified car holy land, with his current fame and status, there may not be many opportunities to go. And there are a lot of rare modified models in the big black PA, and as a driver, there is no doubt about the love for cars.
So Zhang Yifei really wants to watch it well, and now it seems that there is no such opportunity.
"If you don't say it, how do I know."
"Shouldn't you say that? Big brother, this is your territory! ”
Zhang Yifei replied angrily, he didn't know much about the bay shoreline, shouldn't he thank Tiancheng for everything?
"I don't know what you're thinking, what do you say?"
"Guess!"
"Damn!"
In the face of Zhang Yifei's "vexatious trouble", Xie Tiancheng couldn't help but gesture his middle finger at him.
However, at this time, a Toyota Crown overtook Xie Tiancheng, and then made a double flash and slowed down.
"What's the situation?"
When Zhang Yifei saw this scene, he asked Xie Tiancheng with some surprise, because the other party was obviously signaling to his car.
In modified cars, it is not just a variety of sports cars that can be called performance cars. Many car fans like VIP-style modifications, and those cars with strong commercial vehicle attributes, such as Toyota Crown, Lexus LS series, and Nissan Sima Y33, are also changed into wide-body, low-lying performance cars.
However, this is different from the European "suit thug" style, but is derived from the Japanese yakuza style.
And limited by the conditions of the car itself, this kind of car is more in the "potted group", and it is not very practical to really run.
Generally, a car suddenly blocks in front of the bayshore and makes a similar action, which means that it wants to provoke. However, this car is not a match for the Honda NSX at all, and it is also playing with double flashing signal lights, so it should not be a run.
"I don't know, maybe it's a car breakdown and need our help?"
Xie Tiancheng thought of a possibility, after all, he was about to drive out of the bay shoreline, and there were not many vehicles on the road.
"Then pull aside and see what the other party wants to do."
Zhang Yifei said indifferently, he is not false about what the other party wants to do, after all, the Toyota Crown is not Wuling Hongguang, can the people who can get out of the van beat themselves?
As the Honda NSX drove to the side of the road, the Toyota Crown also stopped on the side of the road, and it seemed that the other party just wanted to stop by itself.
Zhang Yifei and Xie Tiancheng opened the car door at the same time and got out of the car, and the Toyota Crown in front of them also got down. Under the illumination of the street lamp, when Zhang Yifei saw their faces clearly, he was directly stunned, he never thought that the other party would be the Toyota team Tomita Tsutomu and the two people of Hirakawa Toto.
"Yifei-kun, it's a surprise."
Tomita Mian greeted Zhang Yifei with a smile on his face, in fact, seriously speaking, Zhang Yifei used to be his driver.
After all, Toyota Motorsport is in charge of several teams under its umbrella, including Le Mans, GT, F1, and major youth teams, and Tomita is the boss of the motorsport department.
"It's a surprise, what does President Tomita have to do?"
Zhang Yifei asked suspiciously, he has always been a more direct character, and the other party is not his "leader" now, the two sides are on an equal footing.
"Is it convenient to get in the car and talk?"
Tomita Mian made a gesture of please, inviting Zhang Yifei to sit in the Toyota Crown, after all, there is still an outsider here, Xie Tianche, and the other party is also a professional driver, and it is sponsored by Toyota's old rival Honda team.
Zhang Yifei glanced at Xie Tiancheng, the other party nodded slightly, a person of Tomita Mian's level wants to talk to Zhang Yifei, and he also understands that he wants to avoid suspicion.
"Okay, let's talk to President Tomita."
Zhang Yifei nodded yes, he still has a special feeling for Toyota, after all, his most difficult starting stage, it was Toyota who helped him, otherwise he would not have been able to enter F1 so soon.
Although there were some unpleasant experiences between the two parties, the other party tore up the sponsorship contract and withdrew the technical support team. Objectively speaking, Zhang Yifei is still very grateful to the Toyota team for his help in the newcomer stage.
So he was more polite to Tomita, and the two of them sat in the back row of the Toyota Crown, ready to hear what the other party wanted to say.
