Chapter 33 Outrun him, no need to wait for me to grow up
Wu Shi's appearance attracted the attention of many people, including coaches and parents who had participated in all four stops, making them "old acquaintances".
Another group learned about this child, who is not yet ten years old, through the overwhelming publicity of Big Eye Media.
"Boss!" Ye Ningning shouted and ran forward, then pointed at Louise and said, "Boss, you have a sister? Boss, are you mixed race?"
After listening, Wu Shi looked at Louise, only to see the girl nervously clinging to the railing, pretending to look at the race track.
"I'm not mixed race, but Louise is indeed my sister," Wu Shi said.
Louise's little ears twitched when she heard this.
"Oh~"
Ye Ningning didn't quite understand this strange relationship. The eldest brother wasn't of mixed race, so how could he have a younger sister who looked like a foreigner?
She blinked her big eyes, wanting to ask more questions, when Ye Zhaohui walked over and said, "Ningning, don't ask about other people's family matters."
"Hey?" Ye Ningning glared at her brother.
Wu Shi smiled at Ye Zhaohui. To explain his relationship with Louise, he would have to explain the relationship of the previous generation. In the eyes of a normal person, it would be inappropriate to dig out why a child's parents separated from his mouth.
Therefore, Ye Zhaohui's actions can be seen as a display of high emotional intelligence.
"Look how fast other people's brothers run! Why is my brother so slow?" Ye Ningning complained.
"???" Ye Zhaohui didn't know what to say.
"Brother~" Louise suddenly skipped over to Wu Shi's side, took his hand, and called out happily.
"."
Ye Zhaohui looked around, speechless for a moment, then mimicked Ye Ningning's tone and said, "Look how cute other people's little sisters are! Why is my little sister so unruly?!"
"Ouch! Ye Zhaohui! What did you say?!" Ye Ningning reached out and pinched Ye Zhaohui's waist hard.
"Aaaaaah!!!" The pig-like screams drew the attention of many.
Wu Shi smiled. These were the siblings who had grown up together since childhood; it would be strange if they didn't quarrel.
"Ye Zhaohui, you lost to this guy?" A discordant voice suddenly rang out.
The group looked over and saw a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, standing over 1.6 meters tall, who seemed like a giant among them.
"Chen Lin, is it funny that you have to come and say something to me? Is it because your brat went to complain to me again, crying his eyes out?"
When Ye Zhaohui treated Ye Ningning, no matter how fierce he was, he always seemed like a paper tiger. But when he treated this older boy, he revealed his true ferocity.
"Tch, you can't even beat the lower groups, what kind of racing are you?" Chen Lin said disdainfully.
"Oh? Young Master Chen didn't win many championships in the lower groups, did he? Besides using your age to call on others, what else can you do?" Ye Zhaohui mocked.
"Heh, there's nothing to say to a piece of trash."
After Chen Lin finished speaking to Ye Zhaohui, he turned to Wu Shi and said, "Don't think that just because you've won a few races you can become a professional racer. You want to go to F1? What a pipe dream. Wait until you've advanced to a higher category and beat me before you talk about it."
Wu Shi frowned. He remembered this guy; he had been making sarcastic remarks about him as he entered the venue earlier today.
He couldn't hold back any longer and immediately cursed, "What kind of idiot are you? Talking nonsense here."
"What the hell are you saying?!" Chen Lin stepped forward and grabbed his collar.
"I'm telling you, you're a piece of trash. Do I need to go to a higher level to beat you? Give me the same go-kart, and I'll beat you so badly you won't even recognize me." Wu Shi is usually gentle and mild-mannered, but he won't back down when provoked.
"Fine! Fine! You'd better come run a lap after the race!" Chen Lin said fiercely.
"Why should I run with you?" Wu Shi retorted.
"You!" Chen Lin was speechless, choked by the words.
Although the Chinese internet in 2007 was wild, its verbal combat was far less intense than in later years. After all, in an era with few prohibited words, cursing was cursing, but in an era where everything was prohibited, sarcasm and irony were the way to go.
"I'll apologize if you win." Chen Lin's breath was even hotter than usual, clearly indicating that he was quite angry.
"Is your apology important?" Wu Shi continued to ask rhetorically.
Chen Lin clenched his fists, his whole body trembling.
"Chen Lin! I'm telling you, if you hit him, it's the same as hitting us! I'll talk to my grandfather!" Ye Zhaohui shouted.
Chen Lin held back when he heard this. Although his grandfather was not a low-ranking official, he was sure to be taught a lesson after this guy complained about him.
"coward."
He released his grip, shoved him, and turned to leave.
"Boss, can you really outrun him?" Ye Ningning suddenly shouted.
"Hmm?" Wu Shi had no idea what the little girl was up to.
"If you win, I'll go to Grandpa Chen and complain that this guy can't even outrun a child, and he can forget about ever coming to the racetrack again," Ye Ningning said, hands on her hips, still not satisfied.
"Ha! Can he outrun me? He's just a brat who talks big. You call him boss? That's hilarious!" Chen Lin turned around and laughed loudly.
Wu Shi shook his head. It was hardly worth arguing over a few words!
"You seem to really dislike him?" he asked the Ye siblings.
"Yeah! He always bullies me and my brother, he's a big bad guy!" Ye Ningning nodded.
"What, you really think you can beat me?" Chen Lin said with a grin. This Ye Ningning is really stupid. Does she really think Wu Shi can beat her?
"It's not about wanting, it's about being able to." Wu Shi looked at the track and said, "After the race, I'll win and show you."
"Hahahaha!!! Okay, you can't go back on your word!" Chen Lin laughed loudly.
"Chen Lin, is it fun to bully a child?" A fellow member of the advanced group shook his head.
"You know nothing! I just want to teach this arrogant brat a lesson and show him what nonsense he was spouting last week."
Chen Lin didn't care what others thought; he only knew that he was extremely unhappy. He was unhappy that this guy was favored by Big Eye Media and even brought into the pit room to talk to an F1 driver!
He could get into the pit lane by talking to his elders and making a few connections, but that would only be based on power, not genuine recognition, which he didn't care about! What he cared about was recognition of his identity as a race car driver!
"Little friend, don't let him get you involved. There's no need to compete with him."
Some people came to persuade Wu Shi. They were all well-meaning athletes from the higher groups. They weren't afraid that Wu Shi would lose, as losing wouldn't be a big deal. Their main concern was the possibility of a safety accident.
The difference in horsepower between low-class and high-class go-karts is significant. If you're not used to it, you might slip and crash into a wall as soon as you step on the gas.
"Thank you, big brother, but as I said, you don't need to wait until I grow up to beat him," Wu Shi said, shaking his head.
"Fine, you've got guts!" Chen Lin spat and left the viewing hall.
