Chapter 75 Delicious Soup
When Tang Che returned to the hotel, Tang Jingqing was working in the living room of the hotel suite.
Tang Jingqing was very busy, talking on the phone through a wireless headset and typing on his computer to reply to messages and emails flying around.
Without disturbing Tang Jingqing, Tang Che tiptoed into his bedroom.
He took out his phone and saw a message notification on the screen from Zhou Guanyu: "Take a look at this Cantonese video. I don't understand it, but something feels off." [Video]
Video title: "Food Sharing: Delicious Soup".
The title seems ordinary, but the video cover featuring a photo of Tang Che makes something seem a little off.
Tang Che clicked on it instantly, so fast!
The video starts off completely black with no visuals or subtitles, and only a male voice speaking Cantonese.
As a post-00s Cantonese speaker who grew up in Shenzhen, Tang Che can no longer speak Cantonese very well, but he can still understand it.
"As everyone knows, we Cantonese are very good at maintaining our health, and we pay great attention to our diet. For example, now that the weather is so hot, we are used to drinking herbal tea."
"This herbal tea actually has more than just cooling effects; it also has many health benefits. But personally, I don't really like drinking herbal tea because it's too bitter and has a strong medicinal taste. For health, I prefer to drink nourishing soups."
Today I'd like to recommend a delicious soup.
The video now has visuals, and a photo of Tang Che shirtless pops up.
Tang Che stared intently and immediately recognized the source of the photo—it was an image taken during a standard cardiorespiratory fitness test in the team's training room.
To perform a standard cardiopulmonary function test, a bunch of electrodes need to be attached to the chest, sides, and other areas, requiring the upper body to be naked.
The team's press officer was present at the time and recorded a video, which was then posted on the team's official account. This picture is a screenshot from that video.
"The main ingredient of this delicious soup is eight very tender pork ribs."
"Look at these ribs, everyone. The meat is firm, tender, and juicy. Touching them is invigorating, and licking them is good for longevity! Just looking at them makes you want to sit down and savor them."
A question mark appeared on Tang Che's forehead; for now, it was just a question mark.
Because Jiang Zhiyu frequently moved stones for Tang Che, Tang Che now has a very high resistance to all kinds of abstract content and can watch most of the videos of amazing people with ease.
"What I like most about this delicious soup is its side ingredients."
"Look at these two pieces of bread, with two raisins on them. They're a perfect fusion of East and West, and the combination with the pork chop is simply unbeatable!"
"The bread is thick and chewy, and tastes like creamy white coconut meat. It's crispy and sweet. These two raisins are even better! They taste sweet and chewy, and the texture is just like the tapioca pearls in bubble tea."
Finally, and this is the finishing touch to this delicious soup, the yams are very large.
"This high-quality yam is hollow, and it slowly soaks in the broth while stewing. You can't bite it; you have to suck it out. Suck it hard, and you'll absorb all the broth from the yam. This broth is truly amazing! Sweeter than milk tea and thicker than yogurt!"
"The weather is hot and humid now, everyone should definitely drink more of this delicious soup —"
Even someone as resilient as Tang Che couldn't hold back: delay no more! So what if you can speak Cantonese! You're completely lawless, aren't you!
The thought that Zhou Guanyu had found and shared this video filled Tang Che with immense shock and terror: "No, buddy, you—"
Zhou Guanyu: "?"
Tang Che: "Don't ask me to go swimming or sauna together again."
Zhou Guanyu: "??????????????????"
Zhou Guanyu quickly found a friend who could speak Cantonese to help translate. Then, Zhou Guanyu realized just how incredible the video was, and he also understood why Tang Che had replied to those two messages to him earlier.
Zhou Guanyu quickly messaged Tang Che: "I'm not gay!"
Tang Che returned a deathly smile.
Zhou Guanyu: "I'm really not gay!"
Tang Che replied with an emoji: "Nan Tong is more terrifying than human hearts.jpg"
Zhou Guanyu laughed in exasperation and retorted, "Actually, I've liked you for a long time."
Tang Che: "Let's go, we're getting married tomorrow."
Tang Che was horrified when he thought about it, but after sending the message, he thought again: if Zhou Guanyu really had those kinds of thoughts, how could Tang Che not have seen it all these years? Zhou Guanyu must have accidentally come across this incredible video, and because he didn't understand it and felt something was wrong, he forwarded it to Tang Che.
When Zhou Guanyu figured out the situation and sent a message to clarify, Tang Che had already figured it out. But since they were all brothers, how could they not do something mischievous with each other?
So Tang Che posted a death smile and an emoji.
Zhou Guanyu immediately said, "Actually, I've liked you for a long time." Tang Che could obviously tell that this was a joke, so he took it a step further and returned the favor to Zhou Guanyu.
When Zhou Guanyu saw Tang Che's post, he knew that the misunderstanding had been cleared up—or perhaps there hadn't been any misunderstanding at all.
Zhou Guanyu: "Heart emoji.jpg" "Proposal emoji.gif"
Tang Che and Zhou Guanyu are truly a pair of smiling tigers and two black sharks!
Just when they were finding a kindred spirit in a humble place, Tang Jingqing called out to Tang Che in the living room, "Che, is now a good time? I have something to tell you."
Tang Che put down his phone, left the bedroom, and sat down opposite Tang Jingqing in the living room.
Tang Jingqing said, "Horner and Toto have both arranged to hold a second round of negotiations with us after the Canadian Grand Prix. You will need to be at the negotiating table then."
Tang Che: "Don't Ferrari and McLaren need me to attend the second round of negotiations?"
Tang Jingqing: "Anyway, you won't be going to either of those teams, so I deliberately slowed down the negotiations with them, making sure it wasn't time for you to be there yet."
Tang Che gave a thumbs up: "Amazing!"
Tang Jingqing: "There's one more thing. After you arrive in Montreal, you'll need to attend the group's business activities and, incidentally, film a promotional video."
Tang Che: "OK."
Large sponsorships don't come for free; sponsors want Tang Che to make appearances and film promotional videos, and Tang Che has to cooperate.
Tang Jingqing: "One last thing, Sainz unfollowed you on social media and even posted a message implying that your achievements were all due to luck."
Tang Che laughed: "I thought he might have some talent, but I didn't expect him to be in such a hurry to make a fool of himself."
Tang Jingqing laughed and said, "His social media post did attract a lot of ridicule. There were even some fans from the Iron Buddha Temple who told him to get out of Ferrari and that he was not good enough for Ferrari. They said only geniuses like you and Leclerc deserve Ferrari."
Sainz's assessment of Tangche's luck in this match wouldn't be too surprising, since Tangche didn't really have to compete with anyone much to get to the podium.
But if Sainz said that Tanger's success was all due to luck, it would provoke a lot of anger.
Aside from this match, it's not like Tanger hasn't faced off against Sainz before. How many times has Sainz been helpless against Tanger?
For Sainz to post this kind of content at a time like this is blatant sore loser behavior; he's a complete clown.
Besides, Sainz was driving a Mars rover, and he'd lost several Mars rover tests to Toncher, who was driving a lunar rover. To be a sore loser is just ridiculous. The current online environment won't tolerate that; he'll be ridiculed from all sides, leaving him questioning his existence.
Tang Checai wasn't going to bother arguing with this clown: "Let the PR team handle this."
Tang Jingqing nodded: "You should also pay attention to Sainz on the track in the future. He will definitely target you on the track whenever he has the chance."
"If he can drive the Ferrari at a normal level, he won't have many opportunities to target me," Tanger laughed. "If he has frequent opportunities to target me, then his future at Ferrari is pretty much over."
The fact that the Mars rover driver is frequently entangled with lunar rover drivers only proves that the Mars rover driver lacks the ability to operate the rover. If this driver can't handle the rover, why is the team still using him? It's already a miracle they haven't terminated his contract!
Tang Jingqing: "Anyway, it's always better to be careful."
Tang Che: "OK."
Tang Jingqing continued working, while Tang Che sat on the sofa in the living room, replying to a message that another driver had just sent.
Guess who this driver is?
Lando! Norris!
Guess what Norris sent?
A screenshot of the yin-yang Yu Che social media post by Sainz.
Norris: "Tom, what do you think?"
Norris is probably in a tough spot right now. On one hand, he and Sainz are very close, to the point that there are rumors circulating that they're dating; on the other hand, Norris is used to considering Townsend an important friend—perhaps more than just a friend—
Tang Che: "If you're bad at the game, practice more. If you can't handle losing, don't play."
Norris had a lot to consider, but Tontatta didn't care about anything. Anyway, Tontatta and Sainz didn't have much of a personal relationship, so he could say whatever he wanted.
As for whether Norris would be angry for Sainz—Toncher would love for him to be angry, preferably so angry that he would cut off all contact with Toncher, so that Toncher would be spared from facing Norris's very strange little eyes.
Norris was silent for a moment before replying, "Carlos really is a sore loser. I apologize on his behalf."
Tang Che was shocked after reading it, but couldn't believe it: "Dude, you're making me a little scared."
According to Toncher, Sainz and Norris have known each other since 19, and they worked together at McLaren for two years, developing an exceptionally close relationship. Toncher only met Norris through Albon in 21, and their communication was relatively limited. Their actual relationship was probably only slightly less than that of ordinary friends. Even if Norris had some issues, it shouldn't have been enough to make him side with Toncher in this controversy.
But Norris's complete siding with Tontatta made Tontatta a little uneasy.
Tang Che quickly made some unfriendly remarks to lower his favorability rating: "Did he ask you to represent him? That's laughable."
Norris was silent for a moment. "Indeed, I took it upon myself to decide." "It seems you're reluctant to talk about this right now." "How about we play a game to relax?"
Tang Che was utterly terrified and horrified: "No, no, my eyes are dead, I can't listen anymore!"
Norris: "?"
The Canadian Grand Prix and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix are back-to-back, leaving drivers and teams with limited time.
For drivers like Tanger who have personal business to attend to in Canada, the schedule is even more urgent. He has to catch a flight to Montreal early Monday morning and head straight to the group's business event as soon as he gets off the plane.
This so-called commercial event was actually a new product launch, where they invited Tang Che to be a mascot and read a script on stage.
Aside from the long duration, it was actually quite relaxing overall.
The filming of the promotional video on Tuesday was relatively easy.
The filming team built several sets and had Tang Che pose according to their design, without a single line of dialogue or any acting skills required.
Not surprising. This is the usual way to shoot promotional videos or promotional videos for athletes. At most, they'll just pose for pictures.
Read a couple of lines from the script at that time.
After filming, Tang Che got busy.
Almost the entire staff of the recording studio came to Tang Che to take photos and ask for autographs.
Many of these staff members were recruited locally in Montreal by the group's North American branch, and they generally have knowledge of F1.
The people of Montreal are passionate about F1, and the Canadian Grand Prix week is like a festival for them.
The Montreal people basically knew what kind of F1 driver Towne was, so as soon as they finished work, they came up to Towne to take photos and ask for autographs.
Filming a promotional video? Or a fan meeting!
Fortunately, there weren't many staff members on site, so Tang Che satisfied them without being too tired and left the recording studio relatively easily.
Just before Tang Che left the recording studio, the director of the promotional video told Tang Che that the video would be released soon and hoped that Tang Che would pay more attention to the group's official account.
Tang Che was surprised to see the film released on Thursday, even though the director had said it would take at least two weeks.
Tang Che was shocked but couldn't believe it: "So fast? Could it be some cheap, low-budget special effects?"
Tang Songqing: "You don't need any special effects. The materials are right here in Gai'er. We can finish the post-production in a few hours."
Tang Che: "Even if post-production is easy, there's no need to rush to release it, is there?"
"Isn't it because you've been so popular lately?" Tang Songqing said. "The group originally planned to send a large team to shoot a series of promotional videos for you during the summer break, but you've been so popular lately that the group was really envious and couldn't resist riding on your coattails."
The transfer rumors surrounding Tontatta were already making headlines, and Sainz added fuel to the fire, successfully making Tontatta a top star in the F1 world recently. With Tontatta's good looks, his popularity even shows signs of breaking out of his niche.
With this level of hype, the group's marketing department simply couldn't resist jumping on the bandwagon.
Tang Che: "Will the beggars still film a series of promotional videos during their summer break?"
Tang Songqing: "Of course we'll continue filming. The group is planning to invite a top domestic actress to film a series of promotional videos with you."
Tang Che: "Taking care of the domestic market?"
Tang Songqing nodded: "Although your continued success in F1 has increased the popularity of F1 in China, it still hasn't broken away from the niche circle. Your fame can still only reach a small group of people in the F1 circle. If you invite a top female star to work with you, the promotional video can reach a much wider audience."
Tang Che struck the signature pose of a bottom-tier player: "What difference does it make whether I'm in the promotional video for the domestic market or not?"
Tang Songqing: "You've shouldered the entire burden of the overseas market."
Low EQ: You're really not that useful in the domestic market. High EQ: You're the one carrying the entire overseas market. Tom Che once again makes his signature move as a beggar player: "Who are they hiring?"
Tang Songqing: "Their previous targets were Dilraba."
