2995 What for?
“Jesus, he’s so handsome!” Xiong Manxin was immediately attracted to the man.
Seeing Xiong Manxin’s reaction, Ling Tianqi felt slightly embarrassed, but he said nothing. After all, the man was indeed very good-looking, and had countless admirers.
Therefore, Xiong Manxin’s reaction was very normal.
On the other hand, Leng Xiaoyao stayed calm as if there wasn’t an extraordinarily handsome man standing before her.
In Leng Xiaoyao’s opinion, the man was indeed ordinary, because he wasn’t as handsome as Li Mochen.
After greeting Ling Tianqi and the others, the man turned to look at Leng Xiaoyao and said politely, “Miss, nice to meet you, I’m a shareholder of this circuit. My name is Si Yiqi. I saw your unbelievable skills at car racing, so I hoped that we could become friends. Will you do me the honor?”
Hearing that Si Yiqi wanted to make friends with Leng Xiaoyao, everyone was surprised. In that case, Leng Xiaoyao must have won Si Yiqi’s approval with her abilities. After all, Si Yiqi was a professional car racer!
Moreover, although they were unfamiliar with Si Yiqi, they had heard that he was always aloof. Therefore, it was shocking that he walked over to say hi to Leng Xiaoyao.
“What do I get if we are friends?” Leng Xiaoyao asked. She wasn’t making it difficult for him, but she didn’t know him, so she wouldn’t just become friends with him when he asked.
Even though she needed to build connections, she had to be careful. At least, she needed to know more about him.
Although this was her first meeting with Ling Tianqi and the others, she didn’t need to care much about their feelings since she and Xiong Manxin were close friends.
Hearing Leng Xiaoyao’s reply, Ling Tianqi and the others were astonished. It seemed she didn’t hesitate to embarrass Si Yiqi and even bargained with him.
If they were her, they would be more than willing to be friends with Si Yiqi, because it wouldn’t do them any harm.
Si Yiqi was surprised by Leng Xiaoyao’s answer as well. He was struck dumb for a second, then smiled. “Of course you can benefit from that. You can come and enjoy yourself at this circuit anytime you want. If there isn’t a race, you can use the cars for free.”
Hearing that, everyone was shocked.
They were envious of Leng Xiaoyao, not because Si Yiqi allowed her to use the tracks and cars for free, but because Si Yiqi was being very nice to her.
“There is no free lunch in this world. It feels a bit unreal,” Leng Xiaoyao said. She wasn’t persuaded at all.
“Well, it’s not really free, because there is one condition,” Si Yiqi replied.
Leng Xiaoyao raised her eyebrow, but wasn’t surprised. “Oh, what is it?”
“Please have a competition with my friend who is also skilled at racing. It’s better if you can defeat him. Even if not, it doesn’t matter. I simply want to see him lose,” Si Yiqi explained, showing a schadenfreude expression.
It was true that Si Yiqi wanted to see Li Mochen lose. It wasn’t because he didn’t see Li Mochen as a real friend, but because Li Mochen always seemed better than everyone else and he hoped to see him defeated once.
“What else?” Leng Xiaoyao asked.
“Nothing else,” Si Yiqi said sincerely.
“Fine, we can be friends, but if you dare to have bad intentions, I will pay you back,” Leng Xiaoyao warned. She didn’t completely trust Si Yiqi, but felt it wouldn’t be bad to form a good relationship with him given his status.
If she found out that he was a bad guy or that he had bad intentions, she would stay away from him.
“Sure, no problem.” Si Yiqi answered. Then he took out his name card and handed it to Leng Xiaoyao. “This is my name card. If you want to have fun here, you can directly contact me. I don’t come here often, but I can arrange for someone to treat you.”
“Thanks.” Leng Xiaoyao took his name card.
“Oh, may I know your name? Can I have your phone number?” Si Yiqi asked.
“My name is Leng Xiaoyao. My phone number is XXXXXX.” Leng Xiaoyao answered. When she told him her phone number, Si Yiqi took out his phone to enter her into his contacts.
“Well, Leng Xiaoyao is a very good name and suits you well. It’s impressive.” Si Yiqi complimented and it wasn’t just a perfunctory reply. He really thought it matched Leng Xiaoyao’s air of confidence.
“Thanks.” Leng Xiaoyao politely accepted his compliment whether Si Yiqi was sincere or not.
“Do you have time now? If you do, I can call my friend over and you can have the competition,” Si Yiqi asked.
“We need to watch the race. If he wants to compete, we can do that after the race is over.” Leng Xiaoyao replied.
Although her purpose was to compete with Ling Tianqi, since she was already here, she wanted to watch the race as well.
“Great, the race will soon begin. Why don’t you go to watch it in a private room?” Si Yiqi suggested.
“Thanks, Mr. Si,” Leng Xiaoyao replied.
“No problem at all. Please wait a second.” Si Yiqi answered, then gave a call. A short while later, a private room was prepared. Afterwards, Si Yiqi called a person over and asked him to take Leng Xiaoyao and her friends there.
“I need to treat my friends now. You can enjoy yourselves. After the game is over, I’ll contact you,” Si Yiqi said.
“Great.” Leng Xiaoyao answered. After that, Si Yiqi excused himself and walked away.
After they walked into the private room, a waiter served desserts and tea.
Because Si Yiqi’s people were still there, they said nothing until they were alone in the private room.
“Oh my! I can’t believe that we got such good treatment,” Feng Rui said.
“I heard Mr Si is always aloof, and it’s hard to talk to him, but now he somehow wants to make friends with Xiaoyao,” Pei Heran said.
“Because Xiaoyao is so outstanding, even Mr. Si is attracted,” Ling Tianqi said.
“I have little interest in this race right now. I can’t wait to see Xiaoyao’s competition with Mr. Si’s friend. It seems that Mr. Si’s friend is better than him,” Pei Heran said.
“I had the same thought,” Feng Rui agreed.
…
At that time, Si Yiqi returned to his private room. Looking at Li Mochen, he smiled with great satisfaction. “I talked to her. She agreed to compete with you after this race is over. Honestly, I’m just looking forward to seeing you lose.”
Si Yiqi didn’t bother to hide his intention. Even before the race began, he imagined how Li Mochen would react after losing.
If Si Yiqi competed with Li Mochen and wanted to win, Li Mochen wouldn’t hesitate to upset him, but Li Mochen wasn’t sure that he could win if Leng Xiaoyao competed against him.
Li Mochen wasn’t unhappy when he heard that Si Yiqi asked Leng Xiaoyao to compete with him without his permission, because he wanted to have the competition as well.
“Why don’t we bet on it?” Si Yiqi asked.
“On what?” Li Mochen asked. He was willing to have a bet.
“If you win, I’ll give you 1% shares of this circuit. If Leng Xiaoyao wins, you should give me 1% shares. What do you think?” Si Yiqi asked.
