CHAPTER 544: CHAPTER 236: FRIENDS

After taking the photos, everyone had a simple celebration in the paddock, and Qin Miao’s freshly changed clothes were soaked with drinks again.

Fortunately, these things had special personnel to handle them. All Qin Miao needed to do was return to the team home, take another shower, and change into new clothes. After taking another shower, Qin Miao’s work for the week was basically done, and the follow-up tidying and team material packing issues were left to the team staff.

After another meeting with Toto, Qin Miao was off work, packed his things, and went home with Qimeng.

On the way back, Qin Miao checked the progress of the system tasks for the week.

[Task 1: Pole to win (Completed)]

[Description: Secured pole position in qualifying and won the race]

[Reward: Golden Lottery*1, Rain Combat Ability+1, Race Long Distance+1]

With the added rewards, Qin Miao’s Rain Combat Ability reached 83 points and Race Long Distance 94 points.

[Task 2: Most Outstanding Driver (Failed)]

[Description: Become the driver voted as the best by the audience for this race]

[Purple Lottery*1]

The best driver for this race was Leclerc, after all, he held off Hamilton for so long, earning votes from many who weren’t fans of Hamilton.

[Task 3: Untouchable (Completed)]

[Description: Not overtaken during the race]

[Reward: Purple Lottery*1]

[Task 4: Model Worker (Completed)]

[Description: Participate in at least five activities in one day during the Grand Prix]

[Reward: Team Random Attribute+1]

After tallying the total rewards, Qin Miao had 7 Golden Lotteries and 3 Purple Lotteries.

This round definitely paid off, and seeing himself getting closer to ten Golden Lotteries, a wave of uncontrollable excitement slowly rose within Qin Miao.

...

Once home, Qin Miao and Qimeng naturally picked up their phones to call family and friends to share the good news.

This had become a habit in Qin Miao’s household. After almost every race, Qimeng would call Qin Miao’s mom to chat.

Then Qin Miao would call Qimeng’s parents.

It was a way to reassure the family, but it was only after Qin Miao won a championship that he would call people like Boss Zhou and Roxin.

In fact, initially, it was after Qin Miao achieved good results that his relatives and friends liked to call him, but often when they did, Qin Miao was busy, and it was Qimeng who answered. After Qin Miao finished his business, he had to call them back.

So, Qin Miao made an agreement with his close friends not to call him after a race, and he would call them instead.

After finishing this, the tasks for Qin Miao and Qimeng weren’t over yet.

First, after hanging up the phone, Qin Miao began cleaning up at home.

Actually, Qin Miao’s house wasn’t that messy; his work mainly involved mopping the floor once and emptying the bin, while Qimeng drove to a nearby supermarket.

Although Qin Miao could do this, considering he had won the British Grand Prix less than 4 hours ago, when his popularity was at its peak.

If he went to the supermarket now, he might not be back until the next morning.

So, in the end, they decided to let the less conspicuous Qimeng do the shopping, while Qin Miao stayed busy at home.

The reason they were preparing so much was because Leclerc and Zhou Guanyu were coming over to Qin Miao’s place, as Qin Miao had promised to treat Leclerc after the race.

As for Zhou Guanyu? After winning the F2 main race, he didn’t return to London but stayed to watch the F1 main race.

F2 drivers inherently have the privilege of watching the F1 Grand Prix for free, and because he is an Alpine Team junior driver, he watched the race from the Alpine P room.

Honestly, Zhou Guanyu was just short of sitting next to the Alpine team leader Bruno Famin to watch the race.

Now that the race was over, knowing Zhou Guanyu wasn’t rushing back to London, and since Qin Miao was ready to invite Leclerc over, he also extended the invitation to Zhou.

At six in the evening, Zhou Guanyu and Leclerc both arrived.

Qin Miao opened the door for them.

At this point, both had swapped their paddock clothes for casual wear, so apart from their notably thicker necks, they didn’t look much different from ordinary people.

"You guys didn’t have to bring gifts, it’s all too formal," Qin Miao said upon seeing the things in their hands.

After being polite, he reached out to take the gift box from Zhou Guanyu’s hand.

But Zhou Guanyu dodged Qin Miao’s hand with a slight sidestep.

"Go, go, go, the stuff isn’t for you, why are you so excited?" Zhou Guanyu teased, squeezing past Qin Miao and heading straight to the kitchen at Qin Miao’s house. Opening the kitchen door, he poked his head in and shouted, "Meng, what’s for dinner tonight?"

Upon seeing it was Zhou Guanyu, Qimeng laughed and said, "It’s almost ready, you guys can wait in the living room. Qin Miao’s PS5 is already on, and there are a lot of new games lately, see if there’s anything you want to play."

Zhou Guanyu brightened up but didn’t forget the main task, saying, "I brought you a gift. Should I give it to you now or wait until you’re done?"
