Chapter 44 Opponents and Teammates(2/3)
Hunter held back his laughter and deliberately pretended to be surprised and said, "How did you... know?"
Marcus immediately exploded: "What? Is this true? How much annual salary did they pay you!"
"Two...two million..." Hunter covered his mouth and was about to laugh crazy.
"What?" Marcus was surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, Hunter became more and more courageous after these races, and even challenged Charles at Suzuki Raceway. If he really went to the Ferrari team, there might be a wider space. "So...what are you? What are you thinking?"
"I...I... decided to follow you! So Marcus, you have to be nice to me! Hahaha! Where would the team pay me two million to sign me!" Hunter's shoulders were trembling with a smile.
"Boy! You're looking for death! Get back to me!"
"So can I be interviewed by Miss Wilson with Winston?"
"You are not from the Ferrari team, why should you be interviewed with Winston!"
Marcus doesn't seem to think what Hunter just said was a joke.
"Because there is a topic! And this is the first time I have come into contact with this kind of interview!"
"Come back for me!"
"You just don't want me to answer some questions, or don't want me to answer them in my way! Let the public relations manager visit me! Otherwise, you can visit me in person!"
"You...you..." Marcus was almost stuttered by Hunter, "I just let you go and take a hot spring with Van Winston. You even have to be together for interviews. Do you want to fall in love together!"
Hunter's heart was inexplicably scratched.
A little excited, a little disappointed.
Hunter subconsciously looked in the direction of Winston, and the other party was also communicating with his team. Seeing his expression, the Ferrari team should have received an interview invitation from Audrey Wilson.
After hanging up the call with Marcus, Hunter shrugged helplessly: "I seem to be joking, which is so exciting that Marcus is. He disagrees."
"Actually, Mr. Miller, the manager of Ferrari, does have plans to poach you. But the annual salary he offers is not two million, but three million."
"What?" Hunter opened his eyes wide, and he grabbed Winsto by your shoulder, "What later? Why haven't I ever heard of it?"
Could it be that Marcus blocked it?
"I tell Mr. Miller that if you enter Ferrari, I can't play well," Winston said.
"Why? Is it not good for us to be teammates? We can even be together in daily training!"
Hunter actually didn't want to go to the Ferrari team, but when Winston said that he would make him unable to play well, Hunter felt inexplicably sad.
"Because that way, you're under control of Ferrari. Such a large team is not as simple as the team you are in now. The performance of Ferrari racing and your strength are just around the corner. They will let you press the car in order to keep my championship. I don't want that to happen at all." Winston said.
Hunter's mouth was half open and suddenly understood something.
"When you achieve, most people will praise Ferrari's performance and give you the best driver's position, and your abilities will be underestimated. But in the Marcus team, your abilities are different. Your abilities are better than the performance of a racing car in the eyes of the media in the public."
When Winston said this, Hunter was really not angry at all.
“There is the most important point.”
"What?"
"If you become my teammate, I have an excuse to take care of you. No matter where you are, I will want to wait for you and protect you. But you are such an independent person. If you are really taken care of by me on the track, you will definitely get so angry that you will be furious."
For some reason, Hunter's ears turned red.
He lowered his head and stepped on the ground.
"Actually, you're taking good care of me now."
"So let's go. Since Mr. Marcus doesn't agree with the two-person interview, I will make it clear to Miss Wilson."
"Hahaha, right. She will definitely understand what you say."
Because she has a good impression of you!
After leaving the airport, they went to IELTS Island, Hunter said goodbye to Winston, and met his own fleet at the hotel.
As soon as Marcus saw him, he hugged him: "My God! I really thought you were abducted by Van Winston to Ferrari!"
"It's almost done! He said he wanted to give me a Ferrari supercar!"
"I can give it to you too!"
"when?"
"Waiting for your 20th birthday! Absolutely the latest model!"
"You are so despicable! Twenty-twentieth birthday... Then I will have to stay in Marcus next year!"
"You can also buy it yourself with the dividends at the end of the year!"
When Hunter saw Shen Chuan walking towards him, he immediately showed a big smile and reached out to Shen Chuan's shoulder: "This is the real reason why I stayed in the Marcus team! I will go wherever Dr. Shen goes!"
Shen Chuan shook his head and chuckled: "Don't pull me into the water."
At this time, Shen Xi stumbled on his head and said, "Hey, isn't there a team that adds one-third of the annual salary to poach us? Hunter wants to go together too?"
Marcus hugged his head: "Okay, okay! I know you guys are going to force me to death!"
"I remember to give me a lot of dividends at the end of the year!" Hunter smiled and went to his room.
From his room, you can see the scenery of IELTS Port. The track is not far away, facing the hotel where Winston is staying.
Hunter couldn't help but wonder, if he had set up a telescope, would he be able to see Winston?
What is this guy doing now?
Ah... He loves cleanliness the most, so he must be in the shower now.
Hunter thought for a while and sent a text message: I was here to look for you at your door, but I didn’t respond after knocking on the door for a long time. I’m going back!
Unexpectedly, in less than two seconds, Winston replied: Little liar, you have never been there.
Hunter covered his mouth and smiled, and quickly replied: Hey, are you not in the shower?
Winston's text message came: Should I come here tonight?
Hunter was about to reply to the other party when he suddenly remembered his agreement with Audrey Wilson, so he replied: Let me see Miss Wilson's interview arrangements, and if you have time, go to your room to visit.
Winston replied: OK.
Hunter called Audrey Wilson, but she didn't expect that she would actually live in the same hotel as Marcus Racing.
So they made an appointment to meet in the restaurant on the top floor of the restaurant. Audrey asked, hoping that Mr. Marcus would not send a public relations manager or assistant to follow him. She hoped that Hunter could accept her interview in the most natural state.
The PR manager and PR assistant came to Hunter's room and found that the guy was sitting on the bed wearing jeans and a short-sleeved T-shirt and was playing with fun intently, showing a collapsed expression.
"Hunt! Are you going to be interviewed by well-known media people, where is your suit?"
"Didn't Miss Wilson say that she needs to complete the visit in an easy state? And you have told me what you can't say, I remember!"
"Hunt... you were not like this before! How much do you want to be interviewed by Audrey Wilson? You also said that she is your dream goddess!" said the PR manager speechlessly.
Hunter was stunned...
Yes, Audrey Wilson was very happy to interview him. But this joy was completely different from the previous feeling of expectation.
His mood was pleasant, but his mood was peaceful.
"I didn't wear a suit." Hunter looked at the PR manager.
"Oh...my god..." The public relations manager covered his eyes.
So, Hunter finally went to the restaurant on the top floor in a white T-shirt and blue jeans.
It was a terrace covered in floor-to-ceiling glass, and Audrey Wilson made an appointment to allow them to chat without being disturbed.
She was not wearing it very formally. She had a knot tied to her waist on the hem of the shirt, and her lower body was also jeans. The light makeup on her face made Hunter feel close and bright.
Once again, I was glad that I didn't wear a suit, otherwise it would be ridiculous when compared with Audrey.
Next to Audrey is a photographer carrying a camera.
"The light here is very good, and you don't even need a light board." Audrey said with a smile.
Hunter sat down, looked at Audrey, and then smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Audrey asked curiously.
"I... just remembered that a friend said to me that he liked to see me sitting in a bright place. Then today I saw Miss Wilson sitting in a bright place. Everything about you was so clear that I suddenly understood how my friend felt when she said that sentence to me."
Audrey also turned her head and smiled: "I seem to understand your friend's mood, too. Because Hunter, when you smile happily, even if there is no light around you, it will make people feel bright."
Hunter's face suddenly turned red, and even his ears turned red. He half lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Please answer my questions seriously and honestly. There is no public relations manager or other people in the fleet looking at you at this moment. If you have anything you want to say, you can complain as much as you like."
Audrey's problems are mainly focused on Hunter's Formula One career planning, the strategy and judgment of the arena, the direction of FIA reform that Hunter expects, etc.
No matter what Hunter said, Audrey always listened carefully. Sometimes when Hunter didn't know how to express his meaning clearly, Audrey could always hit the core with one sentence.
This made Hunter feel grateful for her understanding.
"Okay, let's talk about professional topics here. Now let's talk about topics that fans are interested in. Almost all Formula One fans know that Ferrari's Van Winston has always been cold in public. You have hardly heard of anyone who communicates with him before, but you have now become a friend of Winston, the official Ferrari team. How do you know each other?" Audrey asked curiously.
This problem suddenly stumped Hunter.
Yes, how did they know each other?
