[Racing] King of Speed

After coming out of Klein's office, Neil stayed alone for a long time, and when he came to his senses, he realized that it was already dark outside. Remembering that he still had an appointment with Wes at night, Neil hurriedly changed his clothes Just go and drive.

He hesitated a little whether to speak to Knox, fearing that the other party would find him, but in the end he didn't call, and Knox has been busy with his contract issues recently, and the two rarely saw him once a week. Just hanging up and down like this all the time, Neil always feels very uncomfortable thinking about it.

The location was about to be in a private club in Plaza de España. As soon as Neil arrived, Weiss called, and he came out to pick him up in a short while.

"I booked a private room. My friends are all here. I just have a meal and relax. This restaurant is not bad." Weiss introduced Neil casually as he walked in.

Looking at his understanding of this place, Nair felt as if he was the one who was brought out to see the world, and the friendship of the landlord seemed to be impossible.

During the short journey, Weiss has been repeatedly telling Neil not to be nervous and not to worry about it. I don’t know if it is his illusion, but Weiss’s pretending natural tone is full of solemnity.

It wasn't until he entered the private room and saw the imposing people sitting around the table, that Nair faintly felt something.

Weiss smiled and greeted everyone one by one, and then introduced Neil to them, "You should know each other, Neil De Rosa, now Sislera's driver."

Immediately, surprise and welcome gestures appeared on the faces of those people. They wanted to shake hands with Neil and hug them. They were very enthusiastic.

"Don't, don't, everyone is half of the paddock. You should know that my little friend has a shy personality, so don't scare him." Weiss pulled everyone away and joked.

Then he turned back and explained to Nair one by one, "This is Mr. Jacques, the president of AFC, and this is Mr. Avelin, the CEO of McCrecy Fuel Company..."

There are so many titles, titles one after another, one by one, Nair's eyes are getting bigger and bigger, and his mouth can't close.No matter how ignorant he is, he can almost know that these people in front of him are the corresponding managers of some international brands. Similarly, their company logos can be seen everywhere in the paddock these years.

Weiss patted Neil on the shoulder and pulled him to sit down, "That's why I said they are half insiders. I rarely come to Rome for a stroll, so I will have a meal with them and get together. If I know you, I will live there." In the neighborhood, thinking that we are all in the same place, a family, I let you join together."

The people on the side hurriedly took advantage of this to interject, "Yes, a family." The paddock is like a small United Nations. There are all races, and there is still a sense of closeness to a country. It's so popular that it's hard to meet, and we have to thank Weiss for being the bridge."

These words immediately aroused some echoes, "Yes, yes, it's good to make friends..."

Neil was most afraid of this kind of occasion, so he naturally blushed at the moment and didn't know what to do. On the other hand, he was shocked by Weiss' behavior, which made Neir's emotions very complicated for a while, and he was surprised again. I was apprehensive again, and of course, I was also moved beyond expression.

Weiss could guess what Neil was thinking, and he kept smoothing things over for him on the stage. There was basically no need for Neir to speak, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.And it can be seen that these people have a really good relationship with Weiss, and they are very good at joking from beginning to end. Knowing that Neil is shy, he didn't make things difficult for him. He only occasionally discussed things in the paddock with him, and some sensitive issues would be fine. Without mentioning it, Neil barely managed to finish the meal.

After the meal, someone proposed to continue the stall by singing, but Weiss refused. He looked at his watch and said with a smile, "Everyone understands the situation. Now the two of us are being watched closely by the reporters. How can we get out like this? It won’t be easy for half a day, and if you get caught, it will not be worthwhile if you are affected by the headlines.”

Those people were right after thinking about it, and after booing for a while, they separated. Before leaving, they all left their contact information for Neil, and hoped that there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

When everyone was almost gone, Weiss said, "I don't want to call a taxi anymore, just give me a ride. I'm staying in a hotel two streets away."

Neil obliged and took Weiss into his car. Weiss looked at the bustling streets for a moment and couldn't help sighing, "I also thought about coming to Rome to settle down, but later I found out that this place is not suitable for me."

Since going to Quimby, Wes doesn't live in Italy, and his family has moved to Switzerland.

"However, maybe next year I can come back, bring my family, and return to my hometown."

Neil quietly glanced at Weiss' side face, and saw that he was smiling very happily, but he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. After thinking for a long time, he said lightly, "Thank you..."

"Don't you blame me for taking my own way?" Weiss asked him.

Nair hurriedly shook his head, "I can, I can understand... I just didn't expect... They would be willing, and you too..."

"Ah, don't think too complicated," Weiss laughed, "It's actually not a big deal, and I didn't make as much sacrifice as you think. I'm leaving next year, and these sponsors will naturally I will find a new partner, maybe a newcomer to the Quinby team, maybe someone from another team. And you, an Italian, talented and promising, are the best local businessmen who want to stabilize the domestic consumer market. Choice. They can't wait for such favorable conditions, and it's too late to thank you. Moreover, it doesn't matter whether you will be in Quimby next year or not. Merchants are all pursuing profit, and it is your strength that can win their hearts in the end."

But Weiss must not be pursuing benefits in doing this, otherwise he would have no need to introduce these people to him, Neil knew very well.

Neil wanted to speak again, but Weiss changed the topic. He looked at the front of the long queue and said, "I didn't expect little Neil to be so patient. Sometimes I really can't help stepping on such a traffic jam. foot on the gas pedal."

The two talked for a long time, and the car arrived at the door of a certain hotel. Weiss got out of the car and waved goodbye to Neil. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, Neil finally I couldn't help sticking out my head and calling him.

"Wes..."

Weston stopped and turned around, Neil asked hesitantly, "Why?"

Weiss smiled, tilted his head and thought for a while, "If there must be a reason, it is that I like you very much, Neil, and I hope you are doing well in the paddock..."

********

Nair's spirit has not been that good recently. Although he is still concentrating on his job and dedication when testing components, there is a clear gap compared to the rhythm of the past when he entered the paddock and was excited.For this reason, he was not less scolded by Huibi.

Yes, it's Huibi, Huibi Moore, the big designer has reappeared at the factory in Rome two days ago, and as soon as he appeared, he criticized the aero kit prepared by the team for this weekend's home game as naked scum , not only trained the deputy director, engineer, and technician one by one from beginning to end, but even the two drivers were not spared, of which Nair naturally bore the brunt.

In the two games when I was absent, what kind of car did you drive, what kind of tire did you change, how many points did you lose, and how much money did you waste, all of which were printed out and slapped on everyone's faces, more than Joseph cared about .But I don't know if it's because these guys have been under the influence of lust for a long time in the past two years. Not only are they not angry, they are also happy in their hearts, and they are very happy to be scolded.

Huibi's return means that the team has hope again, whether it is the next race or next year's research and development.

But another surprise is that besides Huibi Moore, their big boss Klein also appeared together. Everyone couldn't help guessing whether he personally persuaded the big designer to come back.And he didn't disappear as he used to. Basically, wherever Huibi went, he was there.Moreover, from the beginning to the end, there was no intention of meddling, and Huibi didn't intend to restrain herself just because the big boss was around.On the contrary, the people in the car crew are all scalped badly, afraid of the chief designer, and afraid of being targeted by the big boss, life is getting more and more sad.

In the end, Klein probably also realized this problem, and finally moved to the top floor again, but when the team ended, the lights in his office would be turned off.

Although everyone is under a lot of pressure, it is undeniable that they are motivated enough. Although the atmosphere of the entire team will not immediately return to the beginning of the season, at least it is much higher than the previous downturn. At least the home game , Everyone is full of fighting spirit for a comeback.

In this way, the "dregs" recently developed by Huibi were overthrown and rebuilt, and there were only a few days left before the official competition. The night train of the crowd was full of energy, and Neil naturally accompanied him. The division had some objections to this, but they were all ignored by Nair. He also wanted to win. He didn’t score in a few games in a row. It was a very serious mistake for Nair. For this reason, he was willing to double his efforts and time.

However, the basic rest should still be maintained, so after only sleeping for seven or eight hours for three consecutive days, Nair was strongly asked to go back to catch up on sleep, but he only slept for a morning when he was woken up by the ringing of the phone up.

Confused, Knox's voice sounded from the other end.

"Nell, come out to dinner with me this afternoon."

What else is there to eat with Knox, and the relationship between the two has been relatively stiff recently. Generally, they have no contact with Knox except for work. Big things, nothing Knox cares about.

Neil didn't answer.

Knox waited for two seconds and finally softened his voice, "I know you are very tired, it won't be long, and you won't drink. The negotiations have reached the final stage, and now we only need to draw up the final details. Once the signing is successful, It will be completely different for you next year."
