This tall and thin Caucasian man, who spoke English, had an unshaven beard, and was wearing a somewhat crooked suit, appeared to be quite enthusiastic as soon as he walked over.
Yang Cheng pondered for a moment before remembering and saying, "You are Weber?"
"I'm so glad that you still remember me. Oh, is this your wife? What a beautiful lady …"
Weber walked forward, holding a glass of champagne in one hand, looking rather carefree and unrestrained.
When he saw Lin Ruoxi, his eyes lit up and he wanted to take Lin Ruoxi's hand and kiss it.
However, how could Yang Cheng let his woman be held by another man and even kissed? He directly pulled Lin Ruoxi behind him, causing Weber to miss.
"Oh, God, I forgot, this is Hua Xia." Weber laughed awkwardly.
Lin Ruoxi asked with lingering fear, "Hubby, who is he?"
"He's an F1 racer from Austria's Red Bull Racing Team, Webber. Previously in Zhonghai, he competed with me in the car club under the Maple Group," Yang Chen said.
When Lin Ruoxi heard this, she couldn't help but snort lightly, "I think you're going to make a woman happy."
Of course, he was referring to Tang Wan.
Yang Cheng pretended not to hear and asked doubtfully, "Why are you here?"
Weber took a sip of champagne and said, "The F1 Grand Prix in Zhonghai has just ended. August is a free period, and the Belgian Grand Prix will only be held at the end of the month. I was invited, so naturally, I came over to see my old friend."
At this time, Ning Guodong walked over and said with a friendly smile, "Weber has always been a little unwilling to lose to Brother Yang last time. Today, I came here to compete with Brother Yang."
"Not bad, not bad, Mr. Yang. I've been in a better state recently. I've practiced some new cornering techniques. How about we compete in a round?" Weber said excitedly.
Lin Ruoxi quickly pulled on Yang Cheng's sleeve and whispered, "Don't go, I don't want to stay here alone."
Yang Cheng patted the woman's hand. He had some understanding in his heart. He smiled evilly and said, "If we compete just because you say so, then wouldn't I be degrading myself? I'm here on behalf of the Yang Family today. I can't possibly tarnish the reputation of my old man. "
Webb scratched his head. "Hua Xia is really troublesome. Then how do you think we can compete?"
"Unless you have a good name," Yang Chen said with a smile.
Ning Guodong suddenly thought of something and said, "How about this? Weber, didn't you just win the Grand Prix in Zhonghai? Why don't you use your prize money as a wager?"
Many people around them liked racing, so they naturally liked this kind of situation. They hurriedly chimed in.
But as soon as these words came out, Wilbur looked embarrassed.
"Why are you being so stingy? You're someone with an annual income of more than ten million USD. Do you still care about this little bit of money?" Ning Guodong pretended to be dissatisfied.
Yang Chen burst into laughter, causing the people around him to scratch their heads in confusion.
"Brother Yang, what are you laughing at?" Ning Guodong felt that something was wrong.
Yang Cheng sneered and said, "Let me explain on behalf of Weber, why is he in a difficult position?
In the F1 Grand Prix, there was only a trophy in every branch, no prize money. Their driver's income is annual salary, or other advertising income.
Aren't you asking Weber to take out the prize money for the champion of the race to create something out of nothing?
In this way, everyone felt rather awkward. Many of them watched F1, but they also wanted to feel rich. After all, F1 was a thrilling event that burned money.
But who would study how the drivers were paid in that industry?
Weber heaved a sigh of relief. Yang Cheng had helped him say it, so he didn't have to refute Ning Guodong.
"Mr. Yang, it seems like you have a good understanding of F1." Weber had a good impression of him.
Yang Cheng shrugged, "This is common sense."
These words made Ning Guodong lose face. After all, he kept saying that he was Weber's good friend.
Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng with interest, wondering why he knew so much about these boring things.
At this time, Weber said, "There's no prize money, but I'm not poor either. How about I bet a hundred thousand dollars with Mr. Yang? No matter who wins or loses, we will use our wager money, a total of two hundred thousand dollars, to donate to the children in the poor areas of Hua Xia. I think two hundred thousand dollars should be enough to build a primary school.
Of course, Yang Cheng wasn't interested. He turned around and asked Lin Ruoxi, "Wife, whatever you say."
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruoxi's eyes lit up, "Compete, of course we have to compete. With two hundred thousand dollars, we can build two schools in the mountains!"
Yang Cheng almost stumbled and fell to the ground, "Didn't you tell me not to compete just now?"
"I didn't say I was going to help the children!" Lin Ruoxi said matter-of-factly.
Yang Cheng gritted his teeth, "Since you're so rich, why don't you donate it yourself? I'll only have two hundred thousand dollars after I finish driving, it's just a drizzle."
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, "My money needs to be invested to earn more money to feed more people. You're the one who paid for the gambling, what does it have to do with me?"
Yang Cheng let out a long sigh. He finally understood that this woman could distinguish clearly: She could squeeze as much of her husband's money as she could, and she wouldn't pull out a single cent of her own money.
"Besides, this name is so nice to hear. In order to donate to the children in the poor areas, we'll fight against the foreign racers." Lin Ruoxi shook Yang Cheng's hand and said, "I know you'll be safe, so you can go in peace."
When the crowd saw the sweet interaction between the young couple, they were all envious and jealous.
Ning Guodong saw that Lin Ruoxi had a completely different expression when facing him and when facing Yang Cheng. He couldn't help but grit his teeth tightly, and a dark look flashed across his eyes.
In the end, Yang Cheng couldn't resist his wife's overflowing love and could only compete with Weber in a charity match that was bound to be at a loss.
The Qixi song and dance performance that was about to start at the evening party was also postponed. After all, watching a road race would be more attractive.
The location of the competition was set on the circular road of the villa and the highway outside.
Since this entire area was the territory of the Ning family, it was only a matter of a word to seal the road.
Yang Cheng sighed in his heart. As expected, being a high official of Hua Xia was the most fulfilling thing. This road was also sealed off just like that, and it directly became private!
In order to let everyone see the competition clearly, the villa also specially let the filming team board two helicopters, and at the same time, the broadcast signal was connected to the big TV screen in the party hall.
The car used by Weber was a yellow Ferrari 458 lent to him by Ning Guodong. This eight-cylinder two-door supercar was launched three years ago, and it had a larger displacement than Yang Cheng's McLaren, but its overall strength was comparable.
When everything was ready, the starter fired the gun.
"Boom! Boom!! "
The sound of the Ferrari's engine was particularly loud, and it violently shot out with a yellow lightning bolt!
Yang Cheng's McLaren's reaction was slightly slower. After all, compared with the long-term training of a professional driver, Yang Cheng was always lacking in some details.
But soon, because the McLaren's acceleration was slightly faster, the red lightning immediately kept pace with the yellow car!
In the party hall of the villa, everyone looked at the big screen on the clear image taken by the helicopter at low altitude, and couldn't help but be in an uproar.
This kind of entertainment project, which required a large amount of manpower and material resources, could only be played by the children of big families in Yan Jing.
Lin Ruoxi also stood nervously in the middle of the crowd. Yang Cheng was not there, and she subconsciously tightened the suit jacket around her, and then a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have let him compete. It was a little cold standing alone among so many strangers.
At this time, a pretty waitress came over with a plate of cocktails, and asked with a formal smile, "Miss, would you like some wine?"
Lin Ruoxi shook her head slightly. She was not a person who often drank.
The waitress nodded and walked past Lin Ruoxi.
However, because of her high heels, she accidentally slipped on the floor, lost her balance, and fell toward Lin Ruoxi!
Lin Ruoxi had no time to dodge, and saw the girl completely fall on her, and the plate of wine spilled out, splashing all over her!
"Ah!! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! "
The waitress grabbed onto Lin Ruoxi so that she didn't fall to the ground, and repeatedly begged to apologize, "I'm sorry, Miss. I just came, and I don't wear high heels before. Please forgive me!"
The men and women here were not to be underestimated. She, as a waitress, naturally did not dare to offend them, for fear of angering them.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the wine all over her body, and the smell of alcohol wafted out. It was wet and stuck to her body, and she immediately frowned.
