"Our God Lin's achievements are naturally due to long hours of arduous training, a combination of talent and effort. In my many years as chief engineer, I dare say that God Lin is absolutely the most diligently training driver I have ever seen, without exception..."
Zhang Mingzhi spoke with great emotion, his voice even rising as he spoke, as if genuinely moved by Lin Yan's spirit of hard work.
This speech lasted for nearly a minute. After he finished, the reporters in the audience began to clap symbolically. In this minute, Zhang Mingzhi had praised Lin Yan to the skies, spouting words like "diligent training" and "fourteen hours of training every day" as if they were nothing.
If Lin Yan were present, he would probably give Zhang Mingzhi a raise on the spot. This was truly an all-around talent; his acting deserved an Oscar. He had perfectly embodied the phrase "uttering nonsense with a straight face."
The Chinese reporters in the audience captured Zhang Mingzhi's speech. After Zhang Mingzhi finished his response, the floor returned to the question-and-answer session.
"Why is driver Lin Yan not present at today's press conference?"
A young woman's voice came through the microphone. This time, it was a local reporter from Country A. The blonde, blue-eyed reporter was quite attractive, but her opening question was full of hostility.
It seemed that the financial magnates of Country A had set their sights on Lin Yan for this press conference. Lin Yan's performance in Country A had already attracted the attention of local magnates. They had to find some trouble for Lin Yan, otherwise, if Lin Yan were to win the championship in Country A, he would undoubtedly attract a large number of fans from Country A, which would not be a good thing for them.
Losing fans from Qionghai meant losing a portion of their invisible assets.
To be honest, Zhang Mingzhi had never experienced being targeted by the media like this before when he didn't have top drivers under his wing. But now he was experiencing it.
"First of all, I apologize to all media friends. Driver Lin Yan of our team had some important matters to attend to this afternoon, which is why he was unable to attend. As for what he was doing, that is a private matter, and we ourselves are not aware of it."
Although he was not prepared in advance, Zhang Mingzhi had some experience from living so long.
"If I remember correctly, he also didn't attend the press conference at the Modu station last time, did he?"
The same blonde, blue-eyed reporter spoke again, her tone clearly becoming sharper. However, Zhang Mingzhi did not answer this question. That was in the past. Why ask about it now when you're here? Isn't this just hindsight?
This reporter had also been present at the Modu station last time, but she hadn't dared to ask such a face-slapping question at that time. If she had, the Lin family's capital consortium would probably have charged her some interest.
"What are your thoughts on tomorrow's main race, God Lin? Can you still win the championship like you did at the Modu station?"
Zhang Mingzhi had not responded to the previous question, and the blonde, blue-eyed reporter had fallen silent. This time, another media outlet from Country A spoke up, their words also directly targeting Lin Yan. It seemed that the media in Country A really considered Lin Yan and his team to be easy targets. They hadn't dared to act in China, but now, on Country A's territory, they had jumped out directly.
"I believe Lin will do his best."
This time, it was Vinaless who spoke. He was more experienced in dealing with such matters, having been a five-time champion himself.
It was best to simply deflect such questions, because no matter how you answered, there would be problems. If you said you could win, they would call you arrogant; if you said you couldn't, they would call you trash. This was how foreign media operated.
If it were in China, you could say whatever you wanted. Winning was confidence, and not winning was called humility!
The reality of life!
"Then, we heard that Lin Yan had a chaotic private life while he was in college. Is this true?"
...
An hour later, Zhang Mingzhi and Vinaless finally managed to endure the end of the press conference. To be honest, this press conference had exhausted both of them. It could be described as a battle of wits against a multitude of scholars.
The questions asked by these foreign reporters were more cunning than the last. A slight misstep could lead to saying something wrong, and even if they didn't say anything wrong, the reporters might still maliciously edit it.
"Make a call to headquarters and report the situation with the local media here."
...
"Didn't you say you were very good? Why is it so difficult to overtake?"
In a light yellow go-kart, a woman with flowing long hair said to the man driving next to her, her words carrying a hint of mockery.
This time, Lin Yan had guessed wrong. These two were not a couple; in fact, they didn't have much of a relationship.
The man was a minor celebrity in Country A, not very popular, but he had many underhanded tricks.
As for the woman next to him, she was the helmswoman of a financial magnate in Country A. Her age couldn't be determined with the helmet on, but she was actually close to thirty, almost forty years old.
The reason the two of them were sitting here was that Lina had been troubled by something recently and wanted to relax. Since she had a preference for racing, the young man beside her had seized the opportunity.
She had initially thought the other party, who had volunteered, would be very skilled, but she didn't expect him to cause a collision just by trying to overtake.
"Uh, Miss Lina, that was just a mistake. I usually deal with these little rookies with great ease."
When the man saw that the important figure he had finally found began to mock him, he immediately made a promise. In fact, his driving skills were also learned from a crash course, and he was just pretending to be a racing god now, especially since he had something to ask of her.
However, before he could maintain his pretense for too long, a gust of wind struck the back of his head.
Under Lin Yan's guidance, Su Mojin had successfully caught up to the yellow go-kart, but because she didn't know how to overtake, she stopped and followed behind the other car.
"Is this what you call 'great ease'?"

ps; I'm opening a small section to tell you brothers [Today's word count is complete!]
The author has been very busy these past few days, and I've also had some health issues. Of course, I'm not taking leave, brothers, I'm not taking leave!!!
I won't be taking any breaks, so put away your knives! Put them away! wΑp.kanshu伍.net
I plan to ask for leave from my boss in the next few days to get a check-up. Due to being busy with work, I've been spending less time on the book, and the rhythm of the later parts has completely fallen apart. I'll take this time to get back on track.
Thank you all for your continued support! Let's work hard together!
In addition, I plan to make up for the chapters I owe in the coming days. Whether I'll add extra updates will depend on the situation.
Finally, I'd like to thank my great patron Qing Ning Qing Cheng for the two "Great God" certifications! I won't flatter the patron today; great kindness needs no thanks!
The patrons on my leaderboard are all very supportive! And all the brothers who have sent me power-ups.
I remember Xue Xue Zhen Ke Ai, who sent power-ups more than a hundred times. I'm also very grateful!
Alright, Fierce Man Yi's speech ends here.
