This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 233 Cooperation Agreement Finalized
Xiyue squatted at the door of the conference room, feeling extremely tired.

She originally wanted to go back to Guanglun to get some data on Guanglun's internal B-level competition for Zhou Yunlai's reference.

But he didn't expect to receive such a blow after returning to the light wheel.

I originally wanted to take advantage of Ling Yu being transferred out and transfer the contract through the Lightyear Project's Leader Agreement.

But now if she and Ling Yu both return to Team 1, then the original plan will be in vain.

Looking at her father who had just walked out of the conference room, she couldn't help but ask, "Which team are you going to without even asking the driver himself?"

Xiyue's voice echoed along the corridor and in Jiang Wuyang's ears, making Jiang Wuyang's heart ache in an instant.

"Xiyue, I..."

He really didn't expect that after he finished scolding Shuozi and hadn't taken two steps, the boomerang stabbed him in an instant.

Hey!
He covered his chest and looked at his daughter's haggard face, then he suddenly remembered.

His daughter had hinted many times that she wanted to leave Guanglun, but he never thought Xiyue was serious.

At this moment he really didn't know what to say.

The moon in the sky is a flag.

Without her, the new project in Guanglun would not be able to move forward, and the cooperation with Jiuyuan Company would also be ruined. At least for now, she cannot leave.

"I was also helpless, I..."

"Come on, Dad, you've never been good at explaining."

Xiyue stood up, shook her legs which were numb from squatting, and rubbed her face.

"I'll be alone, don't bother me."

After saying that, she turned and left the door of the conference room. Looking at his daughter's unsteady walk, Jiang Wuyang was a little dazed.

"Hey……"

Because there are offices for more than a dozen fleets under the fortress, the corridor of the Light Wheel seems very long.

When she first came here, Xiyue liked this place very much and would walk around it several times every day without getting tired.

After all, this is the top club in the country, and it was founded by her father. Looking at these numerous departments working, she thinks that Nimbus is great.

At that time, she had never thought about joining Team 1, participating in the S competition, and competing with the top racers.

She just thought it was great to be able to play on the track with Sister Lingyu again.

However, now she just feels...

This corridor is so long that it makes people speechless.

"Xiyue, congratulations on returning to Team 1."

Seeing Xiyue coming back, Ye Qing hurried to greet her.

After the race, Zhou Yun complained to the event team, and only then did he know about the incident with the Yunyue team's tires. He knew who did it without having to think about it.

Although what happened to Uncle Chen was not his fault, he still felt that he owed Zhou Yun and Xiyue an apology.

After the game, Zhou Yun's phone was unreachable...

Needless to say, after something like this happened, Zhou Yun was already being very considerate by simply blocking him.

So he thought of coming to apologize to Xiyue today to ease the relationship.

"Haha, Xiyue, we are teammates again."

"Forehead."

Xiyue rubbed her messy hair, turned to look at Ye Qing, and suddenly felt a stab in her heart.

It hurts!

Ye Qing smiled rather awkwardly, looked at Jiang Xiyue who was standing there, felt that there was a chance, and quickly continued to speak.

"I saw General Manager Shen delivering information to WMC early this morning. I believe Ling Yu's contract issue will be resolved soon and he will be transferred back to Team 1."

Jiang Xiyue's mouth twitched.

Who?
Who shot this girl with an arrow again?
"Jianxue has prepared a return gift for you. It's in your exclusive workshop. I hope you can accept it."

Looking at Jiang Xiyue's 'slightly smiling' expression, he quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"Xiyue, congratulations! You've achieved your goal in joining the Lightyear Project. You've successfully dispelled the rumors that have been circulating recently and have legitimately returned to Team 1."

"Don't worry too much about work. I've already compiled a list for you. Before the provincial competition, our team only needs to run one endorsement. You just need to talk to General Manager Shen..."

Phew!

Phew!

Phew!

Ye Qing, what's wrong with you?

How did you manage to make every word a critical hit?

At this moment, Jiang Xiyue felt like a straw man who borrowed arrows from a straw boat, with her heart pierced by thousands of arrows. She was in so much pain that she quickly bowed to Ye Qing.

"Ye Qing, I'm sorry."

Ye Qing quickly stopped talking, and asked flatteredly, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiyue took a deep breath and roared with all her might.

"roll!"

After cursing, she ran out quickly.

"Wait! Xiyue, you've returned to Team 1 now. There's no reason you can't leave the team without permission! You have to write a report to apply for leaving the team!"

"You can only..."

Jiang Xiyue's footsteps became faster and faster, so fast that he left behind an afterimage.

She didn't want to stay in this shabby place any longer!
"It's so annoying!"

……

The plane slowly stopped on the runway.

Ye Xian held on to the handrail tightly and walked down the plane slowly, step by step. The shock of riding through the thunderstorm made his legs feel weak.

"Are all retired fighter pilots so terrifying?"

After his feet touched the ground, he took a deep breath. The high oxygen content in the low-altitude air of Kyoto made him feel a little dizzy.

He straightened his back, adjusted his tie, and his expression returned to normal.

“Survived!”

"I'll never fly again."

After retrieving his checked luggage, he looked at the evening sun that cast a golden glow over the airport and felt hungry.

When he thought of Zhou Yun saying that he would treat him to a meal later, his mood became better.

"really not bad."

If it were Yue Lin, he would probably call every three minutes, urging him to work faster.

He looked at the surging crowd around him and quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, Zhou Yun, I'm here. Where are you?"

"I'm right at the entrance of the terminal. Why didn't I see you? Oh, there seems to be a comic convention cosplayer near me. A lot of people are surrounding her and taking pictures."

Zhou Yun was stunned. COS at a comic convention?

Why haven’t I seen...wait.

He turned his head and looked at Lin Qinglei beside him with a somewhat stiff expression.

"Do you really have to wear this macho pink maid outfit of yours?"

Lin Qinglei shrugged helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. It's written in the contract with WMC that I have to wear this during work hours. If I don't, Rococo will get mad."

"Are all the mecha girls in the End Tribe crazy?"

Hearing Zhou Yun's complaints, Lin Qinglei nodded: "Who said it wasn't true? I heard that their boss is a yandere and has led the whole clan astray."

Zhou Yun said speechlessly on the phone: "Old Ye, that COSer is the director of Jiuyuan Company, Lin Qinglei. I am right next to him."

"Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Manager Ye turned his head to look in Lin Qinglei's direction, and sure enough, he found Zhou Yun beside her.

"Bringing a cosplayer to pick me up at the airport? You're amazing! I didn't realize it was actually a cosplayer... Wait, who do you think she is?"

You have to start working as soon as you land?

Zhou Yun, you don’t want me to fly back directly after this talk, do you?

How can you let your employees go on business trips like this!
After a while, several people sat together in a restaurant near the airport.

Lin Qinglei ignored the glances from those around her, whether intentional or not, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Jiuyuan Company has a lot of contracts recently, so I may not be able to spare any time later, so..."

She clasped her hands together, bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry, Manager Ye, I'm sorry for the long journey."

Manager Ye looked around at the eyes sweeping over him and frowned slightly.

Where's the Kyoto cuisine we promised you? Zhou Yun, why did you bring me to KFC (the dispute-free version)?
So this is Kyoto cuisine!

"Director Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you. Before we officially discuss the project, I'm very curious about something about Jiuyuan Company."

Lin Qinglei looked at Manager Ye and nodded.

"go ahead."

Manager Ye sat up straight and got straight to the point. "Excuse me, how did you raise the funds for the project's initial preparation?"

This is not a small-scale research and development for a small racing team, but a comprehensive research and development for the entire racing market.

As a new member of "Spiritual Pressure Technology", does Jiuyuan Company really have this strength?
"After all, this concerns the Yunyi team's performance and the team's future. I think our Yunyi needs to understand."

Hearing this, Lin Qinglei raised her head, looked at the advertisement for the collaboration between Team Nimbus 1 and KFC, and smiled slightly.

……

"Mom, I really don't know what to do now."

The setting sun shone through the rows of tombstones and into Jiang Xiyue's pupils.

She looked at the big words "Tomb of my beloved wife Shen Mo Ran" on the tombstone, and talked to herself while sweeping the dust off the tombstone.

"I really don't want to stay in the Light Wheel, but Sister Lingyu's contract is a huge problem."

“It was solvable before, but now it’s unsolvable.”

She turned her head to look at the S3 individual world championship trophy next to the tombstone, which had long been covered with dust and used as an incense burner, and smiled bitterly.

Then she picked it up, wiped it carefully, and continued talking to herself.

"You have no idea, Dad was so powerful today, he put all those shareholders of Guanglun under so much pressure that they couldn't breathe. Uncle Chen was so angry, haha."

"He did something big today."

"Do you still remember Zhou Yun, the evil god from outside the domain, whom I told you about last time?"

"In order to adapt to his running style, he actually came up with a whole set of mechanical structure reform plans, which completely subverted the traditional architecture. I don't know what's in his head."

"The structure of the car is already complete, but he has come up with several new paths."

"Then, Jiuyuan Company was very interested. If this could be combined with their stamp collection system and then expanded to the whole country, or even the whole world..."

"Hehe, I'm afraid there's going to be a big earthquake."

"Then Dad wanted to facilitate this. After all, Zhou Yun and Jiuyuan's research and development requires money and resources. If we use the channels of the Light Wheel, wouldn't we have nothing to worry about?"

"But because Uncle Chen is holding up the project, it's impossible for it to proceed smoothly. Dad needs to take back the power, so..."

She put the polished world championship trophy back in its place, with no expression showing any joy or sadness.

“I became a bargaining chip.”

Then she looked up at her mother's photo on the tombstone, and was silent for a moment, waiting for her emotions to calm down.

But she found that she could no longer control her emotions as well as she did on the track.

"The Nimbus is big, but it's not the place for a racer. It's wearing my mind off."

"What should I do? Mom, I really, really want to leave."

If she hadn't seen what a true racer looked like, she might still have naively believed that a racer would be like a Nimbus racer...

Doing a lot of things I don’t like, having a lot of fantastic ideas that cannot be completed, and being restricted by various rules.

Now that she's seen the pure racing drivers in her hometown, she never wants to go back.

but……

"But how can Dad complete this project without my cooperation?"

"How will Zhou Yun complete his systematic modification? If he fails, he will be very disappointed."

She couldn't just destroy Yun Yi's chance because of her willfulness.

By then, how would she have the face to go to Yun Yi?
"How could such a big plate fall down just because of me?"

Faced with this huge doubt, the only response her mother gave her was the whistling sound of the wind in the Baili Gallery.

"Mom, why are you leaving so early?"

She bit her lip, looked at the black marble tombstone, tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, and clenched her fists tightly.

"I……"

"Ha, Xiyue, I knew you were here."

Hearing the voice behind him, Xiyue quickly wiped his eyes, turned around, and looked slightly surprised.

"Sister Lingyu, is the WMC matter over?"

Ling Yu lowered his head, looked at Xiyue's red eyes, squatted down, reached out his hand and wiped them for her.

"Actually, I delayed it on purpose to see what you think."

Then she turned to look at the tombstone, combing Jiang Xiyue's hair with her fingers, and said with a smile: "After all, your mother finally told me to take good care of you. Wherever you want to go, I will go with you."

Hearing Ling Yu's gentle voice, Jiang Xiyue rushed forward and hugged Ling Yu tightly.

"Thank you, Sister Lingyu, but..."

Ling Yu gently hugged Xiyue, then lowered his head, looked at the world championship trophy on the ground, and smiled bitterly.

After passing it on to Shen Moran, he passed it on to Jiang Wuyang, and after passing it on to Jiang Wuyang, he passed it on to Jiang Xiyue.

Why does she feel like she's about to become a family heirloom of the Jiang family?
"You're worried about Wu Yang, right? Don't worry about him. Just do what you want. I watched you grow up. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"The Light Wheel and the World Championship are an agreement between Wu Yang and A'ran. They are not yours. There is no need for you to be implicated."

"I……"

Jiang Xiyue wanted to say that she couldn't do this, but looking at the four corners of the world championship trophy on the ground, something suddenly came to her mind.

This cooperation is actually a four-party agreement.

There are not only Light Wheel, Yun Yi, Jiu Yuan, but also... the Light Year Project.

Who says there's no way to have the best of both worlds?
Gradually, an idea emerged in her mind, and her eyes gradually became firm.

"Sister Lingyu, don't go back to Team 1 yet."

Then she lowered her head and thought carefully. "After all, the point of me returning to Team 1 is just to serve as a flag bearer. Then the final champion of the Lightyear Project would surely be just as well."

She thought silently about the final champion's agreement and smiled inwardly.

As a racing driver, you solve problems on the track.

As long as you can win the championship, you only need to push the light wheel inside to promote the project and serve in other teams.

"After I win the championship, Sister Lingyu and I can renew the contract."

After hearing Xiyue's words, Ling Yu's expression became serious.

"You have to understand that if you want to win the championship, your opponent is Zhou Yun."

Jiang Xiyue couldn't help laughing.

"So, I'm going to try my best."

……

"So, in order to promote subsequent cooperation, I need to win the Lightyear Project Championship as much as possible, right?"

Zhou Yun shook the ice in his Coke and asked slowly.

Manager Ye nodded. "That's right. Whether it's for track points or for the development of subsequent cooperation, you must get that title."

Lin Qinglei also echoed, "Indeed, with that championship agreement, it can save us a lot of trouble. After all, there are dozens of big clubs. No, let's put it another way."

"That's a driver that most of the racing world recognizes and wants to support."

"With this, it will be easier for you to achieve results in the subsequent S-Leagues. We don't look at anything else, just the results."

"As long as Yun Yi continues to achieve results, all problems will be resolved."

Hearing this, Zhou Yun looked at the two of them with a smile.

"As long as it's about the track, just leave it to me."

Manager Ye nodded, put down the burger in his hand, and picked up a chicken drumstick: "Is it a happy deal then?"

Lin Qinglei signed her name on the contract with a smile and stamped it with the company seal.

"I never thought a contract of this level would be signed at Kentucky Fried Chicken."

On the other side, Manager Ye also took out the official seal of the Yunyi Racing Team and said with a smile, "We all know each other well. There's no need to go high-end to show off our status. Just keep it simple and quick. I like it."

"Speaking of quick and easy..."

Zhou Yun looked at Manager Ye, who was excited after signing the contract, and asked with a smile, "Old Ye, aren't you still at the airport? Why don't you just buy a plane ticket back?"

Manager Ye's hand, which was signing, suddenly twisted and drew a long line on the contract.

"???"

　I didn’t expect that I would finish writing at this time. I feel dizzy.

　　Come on, old waist!
