"Okay, I understand."
Zhang Mingzhi replied. This seemed to be the final answer, but he wasn't sure if Rins would be willing to be demoted to a satellite team of Ducati.
"However, this matter cannot be decided solely based on my opinion. It ultimately depends on what headquarters says."
Lin Yan spoke again. This was his thought, but he had no intention of interfering with Ducati headquarters' decision. The final resolution would depend on them.
After finishing a series of tasks, Lin Yan hung up the phone. He didn't get out of bed until past seven in the evening. After a full-body workout, Lin Yan was truly exhausted, lacking even the energy to clean himself.
Shaking his arm, Lin Yan rested on the bed for a full half hour before managing to get up and take a shower.
After showering, Lin Yan decided not to train anymore and lay on the bed scrolling through his phone.
He sent a message to Su Mojin and received a reply almost instantly.
They opened up a conversation and chatted for a long time.
During the chat, Lin Yan accidentally sent a sticker he had saved, and Su Mojin caught him red-handed.
"Hey, why are you stealing my stickers?"
Su Mojin sent a voice message.
Upon opening it and hearing Su Mojin's words, Lin Yan instinctively touched his nose. Admitting it was impossible, so he typed.
Lin Yan: What do you mean "my" stickers? Couldn't I have saved them first?
Su Mojin: I don't believe you!
Then Su Mojin sent a sticker of a very fierce little cat.
This time, Lin Yan resisted the urge to save this sticker as well.
Lin Yan had no resistance to such cute stickers.
Lin Yan: I have something to do tomorrow at noon, so I probably can't come to see you.
Lin Yan suddenly remembered that he had to go to the traffic police brigade tomorrow, so he wouldn't be able to see Su Mojin at noon. He felt he should inform her.
"Okay, it's fine. If you're busy, you should take care of it first."
Su Mojin sent a voice message. Hearing Su Mojin's soft voice, Lin Yan felt a reaction coming on.
Pulling the blanket up, Lin Yan curled up in the bed, with only his head and hands exposed. Fortunately, Su Mojin didn't send any more voice messages after that, and they communicated through typing.
Little Jin: Brother Yan, what's your zodiac sign?
Su Mojin asked curiously, but as soon as she sent the message, she regretted it.
As expected.
Lin Yan: I'm a Cancer. Great! You know my birthday but don't know my zodiac sign!
Then, Lin Yan clicked on an angry emoji and sent it.
Little Jin: I forgot... She then added an innocent emoji.
They continued to chat about trivial topics until nine o'clock before gradually falling asleep.
The next morning, Lin Yan woke up from his dream and got up to exercise, following the usual routine.
However, today he had to go to the traffic police brigade. At eight o'clock, Lin Yan walked out of the villa.
He saw the brand-new Kawasaki H2 parked at the entrance. It had been delivered last night. The glossy black body was adorned with fluorescent green lines, and the entire bike featured carbon fiber components. If Lin Yan were to describe it, he could only use six words: understated luxury.
Just as Lin Yan was about to get on the bike, his phone rang. It was an unknown number.
After answering, he learned that Vinales was being blocked by the security guards at the community entrance and couldn't get in.
Since they were about to leave anyway, Lin Yan didn't let Vinales come in and asked him to wait at the entrance.
Lin Yan got back on the bike and started it, leaving the villa.
The helmet Lin Yan was wearing today was also special. It was the Sharkgppro he had bought with Su Mojin at the clothing store opposite. It wasn't the couple's edition, but one of the regular versions, a new black one, to match the Kawasaki.
He hadn't even opened the couple's edition yet. He planned to use it after teaching Su Mojin how to ride.
Lin Yan rode the Kawasaki H2 to the traffic police brigade, which was located in a somewhat remote area.
It took Lin Yan over an hour to get there. Along the way, Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh about how good the H2 felt. It was indeed the only supercharged liter-class sports bike available on the market.
Upon reaching the entrance, Lin Yan was stopped by the staff on duty. After briefly explaining his purpose, he was allowed to enter.
The courtyard of the traffic police brigade was very large, and the walls were also high, which Lin Yan estimated to be about two and a half meters tall.
As soon as Lin Yan entered, he saw rows of Guobin motorcycles displayed at the entrance.
Like the traffic police's vehicles that Lin Yan had seen before, they were all white with fluorescent stripe graphics.
Most of the Guobin motorcycles had displacements of around 600cc, although there were also 1000cc models, but they were rare.
After all, a 1000cc heavy motorcycle could buy a small car.
Lin Yan went in and parked his bike. Vinales also got off his car.
Lin Yan was surprised to find that Yang Hongliang was the one receiving them this time.
Logically, with Yang Hongliang's rank, he shouldn't be handling such matters.
"I didn't expect us to meet again after last time."
Yang Hongliang laughed heartily when he saw Lin Yan. Lin Yan had been a great help to him last time.
At that time, he thought Lin Yan was just bragging, but he didn't expect him to actually be a world champion and be hailed as a once-in-a-century racing genius in China.
"Yes, we've met twice in just one week. I'm not sure what I should call you."
Lin Yan took off his helmet and shook hands with Yang Hongliang.
"If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Yang."
Yang Hongliang said. To be honest, he was somewhat overstepping by saying this, as Lin Yan's status and achievements far surpassed his own.
"Okay, Uncle Yang."
However, Lin Yan was always approachable. It was just a title, and given the other person's age, calling him uncle was not unreasonable.
"And who is this?"
