268:Old Friends Meet (6K, 12/16)

After all, Lao Han is not a person of his own generation, and most of the things he likes are different from Qin Miao.

Qin Miao prefers video games, electronic products, and things like science fiction.

And what the old man likes is the old one, houses, land, manors and the like.

Relaxation is also golf, horse riding, yachting and sailing.

And Qin Miao just wanted to stay at home and play games for a while.

However, it is not impossible for the two to find common topics, as men, as racing drivers, cars, especially supercars, are a constant topic between men.

Hamilton chatted with Qin Miao about the private collection in his garage.

What Ferrari Lafa, AMG ON1, Pagani.

After the plane landed, Hamilton was still a little unsatisfied, but he also knew that it was time to separate.

……

After coming to Italy, Qin Miao did not go to the hotel prepared for him by the team as soon as possible, but went to Vicenza first.

Vicenza is just a small place in Italy that is not well-known, but for Qin Miao, it is the starting point of his racing career.

The team's headquarters during his F2 years were here.

And the name of this team is Prema.

Although Qin Miao finally chose to leave Ferrari's youth training system because of some intelligence reduction operations at the top of the Ferrari team, this was a contradiction between Qin Miao and Ferrari, and his friendship with these people in the Prema team was not affected by this.

So when he returned to Italy again, and was still free, Qin Miao came to revisit his old place again.

Pushing the red gate of the team, Qin Miao, the female front desk at the door of the team's office, didn't know her.

And Qin Miao remembered that the team didn't seem to have such a position as the front desk before, after all, the F2 team did not have as much exposure as the F1 team, and basically no fans would come to visit.

Therefore, this front desk should be a new recruit of the team after Qin Miao left.

After seeing an Asian wearing a mask coming in at the door, the front desk said in English, "Sorry sir, do you have an appointment?" ”

"It's the epidemic now, and if you don't make an appointment on our team's official website, it's inconvenient for you to visit here."

"And it's not open for the public yet, so please come back after the allotted time."

In fact, there is an extra front desk at the door of the Prema team, mainly thanks to Qin Miao.

Because after Qin Miao entered F1, he is famous among the international students in Europe, after all, the racing industry is still very prosperous in Europe.

Racing in Europe is similar to domestic table tennis, badminton and other competitive sports.

Qin Miao's appearance is almost the same as the sudden appearance of an Italian fierce man in the domestic table tennis world, and this Italian fierce man punched Ma Long and kicked Xu Xin on the field.

And there happens to be an Italian among your classmates, and you will inevitably be curious to ask this Italian classmate if you have heard the name of this Italian fierce man.

Therefore, these international students will inevitably be asked about Qin Miao by their classmates and friends in their daily life.

After all, he is his own compatriot, even if he doesn't understand it, he will passively understand Qin Miao after being asked too much.

Therefore, many international students who are on vacation, or have rest and spare time, will choose to come to Vicenza to visit the team that Qin Miao once served in F2.

At first, the Prema team would be warmly received, but after a long time, they found that there were a lot of international students who came over, and many European fans who liked Qin Miao would also come here to visit, so Luo Xin simply arranged a front desk to entertain these people.

Qin Miao didn't care about the obstruction at the front desk, but she didn't pull open the mask and brush her face or anything, after all, because of face blindness, Qin Miao had encountered a scene of failure to brush her face.

It was really unspeakable embarrassment.

And Qin Miao felt that he was just a driving athlete, and others had to know him for no reason, and he didn't say that he had done anything particularly awesome.

So after apologizing, he exited the door, and then Qin Miao took out his mobile phone and called Luo Xin, the leader of the Prema team.

"Hello? Qin Miao? I didn't expect to receive a call from you right now. The call was quickly answered by Rosing: "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”

Qin Miao just wanted to speak, but Luo Xin on the other end of the phone interrupted Qin Miao's intention in advance and said, "Wait, let me guess......"

"You're an F1 driver right now, so it's generally impossible to have time to call me...... And this week coincides with the day of the Italian Grand Prix.

Did you call me to come back? ”

Qin Miao raised her eyebrows in some surprise: "You guessed wrong, but it's not too much." ”

"What's wrong?" Rosin asked curiously.

"You're right, I'm really going back to the convoy to have a look, the difference is that I'm at the convoy door right now."

"What?" Rossin's voice rose sharply, followed by the sound of chairs being sliding.

After a while, Qin Miao heard the sound of the window being opened overhead, and Luo Xin, who was wearing black-framed glasses, leaned out half of his body from the window upstairs, and looked at Qin Miao downstairs in a daze, holding a headset that was on the phone.

Qin Miao put down her phone and waved her hand to Luo Xin with a smile.

"Stay safe, don't fall off."

……

Three minutes later, Qin Miao had already arrived at Luo Xin's office.

The two sat opposite each other on the reception couch, with a cup of freshly brewed coffee in front of them.

Qin Miao, who was sitting on the sofa, looked left and right: "I still remember the first time I sat here, when I saw Luo Xin, I was still very nervous in my heart, and I was even careful when I spoke, for fear of saying something wrong." ”

Luo Xin also had a face full of reminiscence: "Yes, remember that it was still 19 years, and you met all my stereotypes of Chinese at that time, humble and polite, not fighting or grabbing, and seemed very gentle." ”

"And what exactly is your impression of me now?" Qin Miao asked curiously.

Rosin took a sip of the coffee in front of him, but then said only two words: "Conqueror." ”

Qin Miao raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Your dominance in F2 was terrifying, and if I had to find an adjective for you, I think Conqueror would be the most apt."

Qin Miao spread his hands: "I thought you would talk about my qualities, such as calmness, superb skills, handsome appearance, etc." ”

"Hahaha, those adjectives are a little too one-sided for you, I think the conqueror is very good."

Qin Miao smiled and nodded, and then changed the topic: "How is the team now?" ”

"Thanks to you, even though you've only been with Prema for one season, Prema has become an F2 legend because of your presence, and the winning streak you've set in Prema won't be broken until F2 is cancelled."

Qin Miao was not modest at this time, because this is a fact, he really won all the championships in the sprint race in F2, forcing the F2 competition system to change this year.

Unlike last year, this year's F2 race had three podium finishes, but limited the number of tyres for the drivers.

Of the three podium finishes, each driver only had two new tyres, and one had to be strategically forfeited.

In order to prevent a dead pervert like Qin Miao from appearing on the F2 field, other young drivers have not had a chance to reach the top podium for a whole season.

After all, the purpose of the FIA to set up F2 is to give young drivers a stage to show themselves, not for you Qin Miao to play domination.

But Qin Miao didn't directly recognize Luo Xin's praise, after all, this is a fact, after staying abroad for a while, Qin Miao also learned to carefully accept other people's praise for herself.

"That's not bad." Qin Miao nodded.

"But ......," Rosing said, "you left the team with an unexpected fortune." ”

Qin Miao was surprised: "What wealth?" I remember I didn't leave anything in the team, right? I packed the car and took it all away. ”

"There was exactly one time today, you'll find out later."

"But when it comes to your chariot, I really regret it now that I think about it, why did I have to be greedy for cheap and let you buy it yourself." Rosin was really full of remorse when he said this.

Qin Miao smiled: "You can completely reproduce one by yourself and put it in the team, and I remember that you can use the decals of my racing car." ”

"The point is that as soon as I see the replica, I think of your car, and I feel even more annoyed when I look at it."

"That's your own problem, it's none of my business."

Rosin sighed, then changed the subject: "It's all great to see you all right in the paddock now, and even a lot of us in the team feel that you can break history again and win the Formula 1 Drivers' Championship in the first season of your career like you did in F2. ”

Qin Miao hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, it's really not necessarily, and half of my points are obtained by good luck, as long as Hamilton and Verstappen put their competitive mentality at ease and start running the race normally, it's really hard to say who will win the final championship." ”

"Also, speaking of which, the only regret I have for you now is that you didn't end up joining Ferrari."

Hearing this, Qin Miao was also a little silent.

However, Qin Miao didn't say more, just shrugged his shoulders: "In my opinion, this is a good thing, at least if I really join Ferrari, I will definitely not have the opportunity to compete for the drivers' championship this season like now." ”

"I know, I know." "Mercedes is also a great place to go, but you also have to understand the feelings that a native Italian has for Ferrari as an F1 team," Rosin said. ”

"After all, I grew up watching this team compete."

"And compared to other Tiefu Temples, I know your talent and potential before anyone else, and I also know ......

Alas, no more. ”

Soon, Qin Miao and Luo Xin changed to other topics.

At almost eleven o'clock in the morning, Qin Miao Luoxin looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time, do you remember the unexpected wealth I just told you?" ”

Qin Miao nodded: "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to see this unexpected fortune."

Although Qin Miao was still confused at this time, Qin Miao still got up and followed Luo Xin's footsteps.

Qin Miao is very familiar with the Prema team, after all, he has been here for a year, and he will come to the team headquarters from time to time.

Without Rosin's guidance, the two walked side by side, and soon arrived at the Prema team's honor room.

This is not the first time Qin Miao has come, but to Qin Miao's surprise, the various trophies in the honor room of the Prema team were only covered with a dustproof glass cover, and there were no more protective means other than that.

Today, however, everything in the Prema team's honour room is locked, and a red barrier separates the aisle from the place where the trophies and certificates are kept.

A lot of cameras are also installed in the honor room, which basically covers the honor room without dead ends.

This is not the most surprising thing for Qin Miao, what surprised Qin Miao the most was that there was still a group of people dressed as tourists in the honor room visiting at this time.

Even the female receptionist that Qin Miao had just seen was holding a loudspeaker in her hand at this time, explaining to these tourists the origin of the Prema Team Honor Indoor Trophy and what exactly happened in that race.

Qin Miao turned her head to look at Luo Xin: "This is?" ”

Rosin smiled and nodded: "This is the wealth I told you, a steady stream of tourists."

And the reason why these tourists come here is because of you.

Your performance in F2 has made Prema the only star team in F2, and I thought that a large part of the tourists who came here would probably be Chinese students, after all, you are quite famous in their circle.

However, I later found out that there are indeed a lot of Chinese students who come here, but most of them are still fans who like you.

We've got two docents for them, and many of your photos of you when you're in F2 are very popular, and the tourist income alone brings the team more than 100,000 euros a month. ”

Qin Miao's face was full of surprise when he heard this, but at this time, the fan who was listening very carefully to the explanation at the front desk in the honor room couldn't fake it.

This couldn't help but make Qin Miao fall into a state of self-doubt, is his fame already so big, but he doesn't have much real feeling, of course, it may be that Qin Miao has been staying in a semi-closed environment for the last time, even if the activities arranged by the team for Qin Miao, most of the fans he saw were screened, and the number of people was not large.

"To be reasonable, we actually have a share of our income for you? You're still taking the big head, there's no reason why you shouldn't know about it. Rosin wondered.

Qin Miao shook her head: "I haven't taken care of the money, it's all my lover's responsibility." ”

"Autumn Meng." Luo Xin nodded: "That girl is really good, her ability is definitely top-notch, but I think Qiu Meng's girl is a little too thin."

You should ask a specialized dietitian to adjust your nutrition levels for both of you. ”

Qin Miao waved her hand: "This is the difference in aesthetics caused by our different growth environments, don't force it." ”

"Okay......"

Now that they have come here, Qin Miao naturally needs to meet these fans of his own, after all, a part of every penny they spend on the Prema team will go into Qin Miao's pocket.

So when he was explaining here, Qin Miao came behind this group of people wearing masks and hats, and for a while, no one really noticed anything abnormal.

"These two same-looking trophies are the 2020 Monza F2 championship and sprint championship trophy, and like all the previous trophies, they were won by Qin Miao."

"Qin Miao used neutral tires to start in the sprint stage......"

Qin Miao was also very curious about how others would introduce herself, so after getting into the crowd, she didn't rush to reveal her identity, but followed them to listen to the reception's explanation.

"Qin Miao in the main race stage opened up more than 3 seconds away from the driver behind him on the third lap, you must know that the F2 cars driven by Qin Miao at that time were all standard cars, and the performance of the cars was the same."

When the commentator said this, Qin Miao's fans at the scene also let out exclamations in cooperation.

……

After listening to it for more than twenty minutes, Qin Miao was a little embarrassed to be praised.

But without others knowing, it is indeed a very cool thing to listen to others praise themselves.

However, it is impossible for the narrator to catch one thing in one place and boast about it, and he will also change places, and the audience at the scene will visit the trophies and photos of Qin Miao's other competitions.

During this period, Qin Miao also met a couple of international students, who wanted to take a photo in front of the Prema team jersey and helmet that Qin Miao was wearing.

After discovering that Qin Miao was also Chinese like them, he invited Qin Miao to take a photo of them.

To be honest, it felt a little weird to help others take photos with their racing suits, but Qin Miao still silently helped them finish taking pictures.

After returning the phone to the two of them, Qin Miao continued to follow the crowd.

Soon it was time for the final part, which was the Prema team's souvenir sales area.

It's just that to the reception at the front desk, a table and a stool were set up at the entrance of the souvenir sales area, and the leader of the Prema team, Rosing, also came over and stood at the door.

Just when the tourists have picked out the souvenirs they want to buy back and are ready to go to the cashier in the souvenir sales area to pay the bill.

Qin Miao, who was still dangling at the back of the crowd, walked past the crowd and walked towards the door.

Everyone is queuing, and you just walk over to cut the queue alone, and many people's faces are not good at this time.

However, Qin Miao did not cut the queue to check out as they thought, but took a golden signature pen handed over by Luo Xin, and sat on the chair at the entrance of the sales area for a long time.

Just when everyone was confused and couldn't figure out what this person was going to do.

Qin Miao took off the hat on his head.

At this time, there was already a commotion, because after Qin Miao took off his hat, his eyes were exposed.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and everyone came here because they liked Qin Miao, so after seeing Qin Miao's eyes, many sharp-eyed people already had a premonition in their hearts.

And after Qin Miao took off the mask on his face......

"Boom!"

The scene, which was originally quiet, suddenly became noisy.

Everyone who was still honestly queuing up leaned towards Qin Miao one after another.

"it!"

"Qin Miao?!!"

"Qin Miao who is alive!"

"It's really Qin Miao!"

"Qin Miao, I'm going to be your dog!"

"Qin Miao, I'm going to give you a monkey!"

……

Qin Miao smiled helplessly, stood up and said loudly: "Don't worry, don't worry, there are not many people on the scene, check out first, and then I'll help you sign, shake hands and meet or anything, naturally, it's no problem!" ”

Listening to Qin Miao's words, everyone still controlled the excitement in their hearts, and ran to the cashier to pay.

However, while waiting for payment, basically everyone took out their mobile phones, turned on the video recording function or photo function with excitement on their faces, and slapped Qin Miao fiercely.

Qin Miao was basically used to these things, and smiled at everyone.

The rest of the session is a bit like a book signing.

Qin Miao signed his name on the things bought by these fans, and then took a photo together with his mobile phone, chatted, shook hands, and then took the next one.

Fortunately, there were not many people, and after Qin Miao was busy for half an hour, everyone got a photo with Qin Miao and an autographed photo.

However, these people did not leave in a hurry, but were all waiting for Qin Miao at the door.

Qin Miao also fully understands the thoughts in the hearts of fans, and finally saw his favorite driver in reality, and it is indeed a pity not to take a few more photos or more.

After Qin Miao went out, she asked Luo Xin for a DSLR camera, and asked these fans to stand at the door of the Prema team together, and then Qin Miao stood in the middle of the group of people, and asked Luo Xin to take a group photo of everyone with a SLR.

Later, in Qin Miao's admonition and the voice that he promised that he would post this photo on his social media, Qin Miao's fans reluctantly left.

However, there were still two or three people, and they just walked to the opposite side of the Prema convoy, and they had no intention of leaving.

Qin Miao didn't care about this either, and returned to the Prema team after sending off most of the fans.

At noon, I went out for a meal with the staff of the Prema team.

During the meal, Qin Miao also met a lot of acquaintances, and even Qin Miao met the two drivers of the current Prema team.

Piastri and Schwartzmann, respectively.

Despite the close relationship between Prema and Ferrari, it is impossible for them to have all the drivers in the team be Ferrari Academy graduates.

A good relationship with Ferrari only prefers Ferrari's range of drivers when there are two drivers of similar skill in the Prema team's shortlist.

So this season the Prema team is not an all-Ferrari academy driver line-up, with Piastri coming from the Renault academy.

Because Zhou Guanyu is also a member of Renault's youth training, the relationship between Piastri and Zhou Guanyu is not bad, and Qin Miao can be regarded as knowing each other.

As for Schwartzman.

The Russian driver is also very talented and has the potential to enter F1, having the same background as Qin Miao, both of whom came out of the Ferrari academy.

We chatted with them during dinner, talked about the F2 season in 2020, and finally took a photo and posted it on their respective social platforms.

added a little influence to the two of them, and all the things that Qin Miao wanted to do this time to revisit the old place could be regarded as complete.

In the afternoon, Qin Miao said goodbye to the other party in Luo Xin's reluctance and left Vicenza.
