Lisa directly ignored them and walked towards Chang Teng.
He peeped at everyone from the corner of his eye and found himself in an awkward situation when he faced Lisa.
"Miss Zi, you're here."
Lisa nodded and said, "Hand me the entry card."
"Oh!" Chang Teng subconsciously pulled out her entry card from his pocket and passed it to her.
"Participants have to enter the stadium by 7.30 a.m. tomorrow. We will be setting off from here by 6.40 a.m.
Upon entering the stadium, we will draw the numbers, and start preparations by 8 a.m. The race will commence exactly at 9 a.m. and last until 4 p.m. in the afternoon."
Lisa took the card and responded, "Ok."
"We will be testing out the competition race track this afternoon. Miss Zi, you..."
Chang Teng wanted to ask if she was practicing these days in her own time.
However, before his words came out, a disdainful sneer sounded from the side. "I think it doesn't matter if she familiarizes herself with the racetrack. How could a woman possibly compete with a group of men? Perhaps when she faces her competitors during the real event, she will be frightened to the extent that she forgets how to grip the steering wheel."
"Hahaha!"
The sound of laughter echoed throughout the group.
Lisa looked at Gerry, the person who spoke, with an indifferent expression on her face.
Just then, Ouyang Ming seemed to have discovered Lisa's arrival. He put away his phone and walked over to her.
After he sized her up, he spoke with a hooligan's tone. "Remember our bet tomorrow. I've already prepared a villa for you. I can guarantee that you'll be a kept doll in an exquisite house."
His words caused the spectator's gazes to change.
In particular, the group of cheerleaders. Their eyes contained envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Young Master Ouyang, how could you have made such a bet with her."
"That's right. Other than having a slightly better face, which aspect of her is good?"
The few women pretended to be non-compliant and wanted to rub themselves against Ouyang Ming.
He gave them a stop gesture and revealed a playboy smile. "You are all my babies. I am sad to see you jealous."
Lisa moved her wrist when she heard him, with the intention of punching him.
However, when she thought about it, why should she waste energy on a person like him? She curved her lips and said, "Since you like dreaming that much, you had better enjoy it before the competition starts. Otherwise, you will discover the world is dark when you wake up."
Ouyang Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at her. "Continue being stubborn. I'd like to see if you can continue being stubborn after tomorrow."
The other women laughed along with him.
Lisa sneered, swept her gaze across everyone, and asked, "Since there's a betting segment for tomorrow's competition, can I bet on myself?"
Her words drew another round of jeers.
One of the women sarcastically said, "You can only bet on yourself. Who would bet on someone like you who is doomed to lose?"
"Good." Lisa looked at Ouyang Ming. "Why don't we place a bet tomorrow? You'll bet on the contestant you fancy, while I'll bet on myself. The bet amount cannot be less than 500 million."
The moment she said that several of the women raised their voices. "500 million!?"
Even the men looked at her with disbelief.
However, Ouyang Ming was provoked by Lisa. He wanted to see how this woman looked when she received a big tight slap, after being so arrogant.
Therefore, he agreed without any second thoughts. "Sure."
With bad intentions, he added, "Let's go together tomorrow when we place the bets."
He would like to see Lisa bet 500 million on herself, end up penniless and then cry while begging him.
He felt excited the moment he thought of such a scene.
⁍
The annual international Racing Competition kicked off at the Capital's International Circuit.
Today, racing enthusiasts from all over the world were gathered here. There was unconcealed excitement and happiness all over their faces.
While they waited for the opening of the grandstand, they listened to the announcer's impassioned commentary of which racing teams were going to participate in the race today.
"Ahh! My favorite racing prince, Alvin, is sure to win the championship today!"
"I'm here for the Wind God. In my heart, he is the only one worthy of the Racing King title."
"My dark horse prince, Ito... Ahhh! You will certainly still be that dark horse on the racetrack."
Countless men and women screamed the names of their favorite racers. Their shouts were so loud that they had travelled across the racetrack and attracted a group of reporters who constantly took close-up shots of them.
Just then, while the announcer was introducing the capital's contestants, he suddenly cried out.
Everyone subconsciously paid attention.
With a shocked tone, the announcer said, "There's a very special contestant from the capital. I believe no one would have ever imagined it. There's actually a female contestant! Oh my, it's a female contestant... Everyone, is it surprising? Are you surprised?"
When they heard there was a female contestant, everyone was surprised.
Following that, mixed opinions flew around.
Inside the hall.
All contestants were gathered here while the person in-charge was responsible for drawing lots.
Most of their gazes were all on Team Whirlwind.
There were various types of reactions. Amazement, teasing, and disdainful hissing sounds.
"Beautiful, too beautiful!"
"A beautiful woman like her should stay at home to be pampered. Why is she here to compete?"
"Did Team Whirlwind randomly drag someone in to fill up the slots?"
"Pft! Even if that was true, they would never get a woman. In my opinion, I think that their boss is sick in his head."
"I wonder if she can even complete one round during the real deal."
"One round? You're rather optimistic about her. I think she can't even finish half a round. Perhaps she will be eliminated at the first corner."
"Hopefully she doesn't disfigure herself. Otherwise, my heart will break."
...
Chang Teng peeked at Lisa several times when he heard the various discussions. He saw that her head remained lowered as she played with her phone. It was as if she was not the topic of their conversation.
Chang Teng could not discern her thoughts, but he still encouraged her. "Miss Zi, there's no need to take what they say to heart. Just keep calm when the time comes. Don't be nervous when you arrive at the stadium too. Just drive however you practiced. You..."
"Pft..." A disdainful voice interrupted him. "Manager Chang, can't you see that she's not panicking at all? I'm getting goosebumps from your encouragement. Do you think there's any meaning to say such words that go against your beliefs?"
Chang Teng's expression changed when he heard him. "Mr Gerry, Miss Zi has never bothered you. Why are you like this?"
"Ha! I find it shameful to have a woman in the same racing team!"
Lisa finally looked up at Gerry.
He looked her in the eyes and his gaze was filled with obvious contempt.
Lisa asked Chang Teng with an expression of indifference, "When will the betting start?"
Chang Teng was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously looked down at his watch. "Eight o'clock. It has already opened."
Lisa nodded, looked back down at her phone and said coldly, "Since you look down on me so much, take out all your assets and bet on your victory... if you are capable of doing so."
