Chapter 145: Chapter 144: Don’t You Have a Very Aweso Sister?
The next day.
After a night shrouded in gloom and despair, and with the international race looming just ahead, Chi Mingkun clenched his teeth and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, standing up, “I’m going to talk to the manager of the Humr Team and Zhang Ziyi again.”
“With Zhang Ziyi?” Qi Yuan and the others were shocked, unsure what Chi Mingkun was planning to do.
Without further explanation, Ming Kun drove straight to the Humr Team.
At that mont.
Inside the team’s office, the manager of the Humr Team was pouring tea for Ziyi, who sat at the head of the table, with an ingratiating smile, “Mr. Zhang, you could have just called . There was no need to trouble yourself by coming all the way here.”
Ziyi was holding his teacup, about to speak with a smile, when an assistant knocked, ca in, and, after a respectful greeting to Ziyi, leaned close to the manager’s ear and whispered sothing.
The manager’s expression darkened instantly, waving his hand in impatience, “Don’t let him in, tell him we have no possibility of cooperation, it’s a waste of ti no matter how many tis he cos.”
The assistant nodded and turned to leave, but Ziyi suddenly spoke up, “Who’s coming?”
“Chi Mingkun.” Facing Ziyi, the manager forced a fawning smile, “He’s been coming around a lot recently, but rest assured, I’ve rejected him outright, I haven’t even t with him!”
Ziyi raised his eyebrows, amused, “Let him in, I’m quite curious to hear what he has to say!”
The manager really didn’t want Chi Mingkun to co over, but since Ziyi had spoken, he could only say to the assistant, “Let him in!”
The assistant turned and left.
In no ti at all, Chi Mingkun walked in.
He looked haggard from a sleepless night, with red eyes, and his normally ticulous hair sowhat disheveled.
It contrasted sharply with Ziyi, who sat in the pri seat, looking sleek and polished.
Ming Kun, upon seeing Ziyi, stiffened montarily, his fist clenching involuntarily.
But soon, he relaxed his grip and bowed his head, speaking sincerely to the manager and Mr. Zhang, “I’ve co this ti to ask… Mr. Zhang, for the broadcasting rights of the team mber with the least popularity to be given to …”
With a bite of his teeth, he continued, “Whatever the cost or conditions, na your price!”
Chi Mingkun had barely spoken when Ziyi let out a scornful laugh, “Chi Mingkun, who do you think you are? What makes you think you’re in any position for to na conditions?”
The manager too shook his head with a smile, “Just a kid, Mr. Zhang, don’t take him too seriously.”
He turned to Ming Kun and sighed, “You should just leave. Not just you, even the entire Chi Family added together couldn’t compare to even a hair of the Zhang Family.”
Chi Mingkun stood rooted to the spot, his usually haughty face flushed with anger.
He had never been ridiculed so rcilessly before.
If it were just about him, he would never have subjected himself to this humiliation!
If he couldn’t broadcast this year and lost money, so what? He could always start over next year.
But for Qi Yuan and the others… their families were not particularly wealthy to begin with, all because they believed in him, they were willing to follow him into the racing industry.
There were two team mbers whose families were even waiting for them to bring money back ho…
Ming Kun clenched his fists tight, asking in a cold tone, “What will it take for you to step back?”
After he was done speaking, Ziyi laughed again.
Shaking his head, the manager thought to himself, what a naive kid.
It was clear that Ziyi had signed with their team to run Ming Kun into the ground, so why would he possibly back down?
And Ziyi had already signed Lucine, a star with global popularity ranked in the top thirty, ensuring that their livestream viewership would at least be number one in the country, if not within the top five.
Why would he offend Zhang Ziyi for the sake of Chi Mingkun’s small guild that couldn’t even rank?
After enough laughter, Ziyi spoke sarcastically, “Don’t you have an amazing, all-capable sister? Go find her! Or what, does your sister’s influence only extend within the country, and she’s nothing internationally?”
Before his words had concluded, Qi Yuan suddenly stumbled through the doorway.
Without even glancing at Zhang Ziyi or the manager, he fixed his eyes on Chi Mingkun, his face a mix of terror and excitent, bizarre to the extre.
“Ming Kun, bro… it’s, it’s terrible… the manager from the ‘world’ Team is really here to sign with us!!”
