Chapter 1414: Chapter 531: A Not-So-Smooth Opening

But Qin Miao had just returned to the team’s home when Barber knocked on the door of Qin Miao’s lounge.

When Qin Miao walked over, he saw two familiar faces standing next to Barber, Jay Chou and Kunling.

Qin Miao’s eyes lit up: "Hey! Zhou! Kunling, long time no see."

Laughing and greeting the two, after a hug, Qin Miao welcomed them into his lounge.

"I’m sorry for the lack of hospitality, didn’t expect you guys to be in Australia this week. You guys, really, you didn’t even give me a heads up before coming."

Jay Chou observed Qin Miao’s new lounge with curiosity while saying, "Actually, I came here to watch the race because I was invited by the McLaren Team. And since there’s still some time before the race starts, I thought I’d come over to ask for your autograph."

Qin Miao scratched his head a bit embarrassedly.

Even though Qin Miao doesn’t really care for celebrities, he does enjoy listening to music, and undeniably, Jay Chou’s songs are indeed good.

In fact, the first song Qin Miao heard, recorded in his memory, was Jay Chou’s "Blue and White Porcelain" played from an old MP4 at home.

This is why Qin Miao somewhat has a childhood filter when it comes to Zhou.

But when someone like him tells you they want your autograph, the feeling is too wonderful.

It’s strange, yet there’s an inexplicable excitement and a touch of melancholy.

However, Qin Miao’s emotions didn’t affect his actions. So, after standing up and searching in his lounge, Qin Miao took out a pair of gloves.

"These are my backup gloves for when I race. Is it okay if I sign on them?"

"Is it appropriate to give these?" Zhou obviously knows his stuff, and hesitated a bit when Qin Miao handed over the gloves.

After all, there’s advanced technology nowadays, and drivers are celebrities, so gloves easily carry drivers’ fingerprints.

As a result, you often see drivers giving away hats, clothes, or even helmet car models to the audience, but never gloves.

However, Qin Miao waved his hand and said, "It’s okay, these gloves haven’t been used by me. They’re just a canvas for the signature."

After saying this, Qin Miao took out a permanent marker from the lounge and signed his name, along with the date, on the gloves, handing them to Kunling.

Kunling gratefully accepted the gloves from Qin Miao.

Then the group sat down for a brief chat.

The conversation was relatively enjoyable.

But Jay Chou also knew that Qin Miao had a race to run today, and that this time is meant for drivers to prepare and rest before the race. Staying here disrupting Qin Miao’s rest wasn’t very appropriate. If it gets blown out of proportion, extreme fans could even think Jay Chou was sent by McLaren to interfere with Qin Miao’s race, although currently, McLaren is not on the same level as Mercedes.

But haters don’t care if your reasoning holds up or not. They just want to criticize.

So Zhou merely came over for a quick greeting, and after being there for about ten minutes, he left.

However, before leaving, Zhou and Kunling together gave Qin Miao a gift.

Of course, it’s not really for Qin Miao. To be accurate, it’s a gift for Qin Miao’s yet-to-be-born daughter.

After all, Qimeng has always maintained relationships with these celebrity friends, organizing gifts for holidays and festivals.

That’s how people relationships are built up in Chinese culture.

Knowing that Qin Miao’s child is about to be born, they brought over a jade Longevity Lock.

Qin Miao really didn’t have much research into these kinds of things; the price is secondary, and when he received the gift, he felt the goodwill from Jay Chou and his wife.

After Jay Chou and the others left, Qin Miao returned to his regular pre-race preparation state.
