How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 665 - 282: A Brief Respite

But honestly, if your championship was lost because of someone else's mistake, even if you rationally stabilized your emotions and even took the initiative to forgive them, there will inevitably be a lingering resentment in your heart.

Actually, Qin Miao didn't really want to go, but when Norris sensed Qin Miao wasn't planning to attend, he mentioned he prepared a gift that Qin Miao would definitely like.

"You're already hosting a meal, what gift are you preparing? We're all buddies, why be so polite? Don't worry, I'll definitely be there tonight!"

Resentment? What resentment?

The old Qin Miao really treated money like dirt, thinking as long as you had enough, it was fine.

But now, on one hand, Qin Miao wants to settle in Monaco, and the property prices there are soaring, almost like the second ring of Beijing.

On the other hand, Qin Miao also wants to get a private jet. After experiencing Toto and Hamilton's planes, Qin Miao understood just how wonderful it would be to have his own private jet.

But whether it's a private jet or property in Monaco, both are massive expenses.

When Qin Miao and Qimeng checked the accounts, it turned out there was only about twenty million US dollars in liquid funds.

He could only choose one between a house in Monaco and a plane, so Qin Miao subconsciously started to bow to money. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

There's nothing shameful about making money.

When Qin Miao met Norris on Tuesday, they naturally had a great conversation. It was a bit unfortunate that Qin Miao doesn't drink, so their bonding over the meal wasn't too quick, but it basically resolved the resentment in Qin Miao's heart.

After dinner, Norris took Qin Miao to play a round of golf in the evening.

Even though it was nighttime, with the golf course lights fully on, it didn't affect their fun.

After playing until past nine, Qin Miao prepared to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Norris presented Qin Miao with a prepared gift of thanks.

However, Qin Miao didn't open it immediately. Although people abroad don't mind opening gifts in front of others, Qin Miao's upbringing made him never consider doing so.

Back home, Qin Miao placed the gift from Norris on the dining table, and upon hearing the commotion, Qimeng came over, wearing Qin Miao's jacket and barefoot.

"What's that?" Qimeng asked, peering curiously.

"A gift from Norris," Qin Miao replied.

Qimeng nodded, "Oh, a peace offering?"

Qin Miao recalled the meal with Norris that afternoon, "I don't think so, Norris has a really decent heart. Plus, we have a good relationship. After what happened, Norris probably felt some guilt and gave me a gift to ease that discomfort."

"Makes sense, open it up and have a look," Qimeng agreed, nodding, and then eagerly urged Qin Miao.

Without hesitation, Qin Miao opened the gift from Norris.

When he opened the box, a row of tightly protected ceramics was revealed in front of Qin Miao.

After unwrapping them, it was a complete set of blue and white porcelain vases and pots.

Neither Qin Miao nor Qimeng had much knowledge about these things, just that they looked very beautiful, and the patterns on the blue and white porcelain's surface seemed related, indicating it was a complete set.

Qin Miao didn't think Norris would give him a set of common blue and white porcelain, so they must be valuable.

However, Qin Miao and Qimeng really didn't know how to handle these items, whether to treat them as antiques and find a place for them at home or treat them as ordinary vases for home use.

It wasn't really the time to call Norris and ask.

Looking at the time, it was already past ten at night, and it was eight in the morning back home, so Boss Zhou should be just waking up.

Therefore, Qin Miao took some photos of the ceramics with his phone and sent them to Boss Zhou, asking for a return call if he saw them and had the time.

After sending the photos, Qin Miao scooped up Qimeng amidst her exclamation, ready for a bath.

But just as Qin Miao took a couple of steps holding Qimeng, his phone rang in his pocket.

He took out the phone to see it was Boss Zhou calling.

...

After communicating with Boss Zhou, it turned out, as Qin Miao imagined, the items from Norris were invaluable.

Yet Qin Miao couldn't possibly sell them, no matter what.

These were antiques, a whole set of antiques, likely taken during the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China.

Although Norris had a decent relationship with Qin Miao and was honest as a friend, Norris was still British.

And British antiques...

Anyone who knows, knows.

Even though Great Britain is on the decline now, people around the world won't forget Great Britain's misdeeds.

So guessing how these Chinese antiques ended up in Britain is unnecessary.

Regardless, it was a token of Norris' goodwill, and Qin Miao couldn't disregard that.

Any remaining resentment in his heart completely dissipated.

As for how to deal with them...

On Wednesday, Qin Miao simply took a day off from the team and skipped going to the team factory, instead taking Qimeng and the antiques to the London embassy.
