Chapter 98: Preferential Treatment?
Chang Teng hastily recounted the situation to him.
After Ouyang Ming understood the situation, he realized that he misunderstood Zi Yi and he felt odd deep down.
However, it was impossible for him to disregard his pride and apologize to her. He turned to the two men and spoke in an unkind tone.
“Have your manners been eaten by dogs? Instead of competing with her, why aren’t you practicing by running more laps.”
“I won’t accept a woman partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion with us.” After he said that, Gerry turned and left with the intention to quit.
The man who stood on Gerry’s side planned to follow when he saw him leave.
Bulging veins surfaced on Ouyang Ming’s forehead. He shouted at them in anger. “Are you guys brainless? I let a woman partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion and you’re quitting? Fine… leave if you wish. Walk out this door if you dare!”
Ouyang Ming was a young master of high society in the capital and forming a racing team was purely based on interest. If his likes changed, he could abandon it at any time.
In particular, that woman had threatened him earlier and these people also dared to do so.
What the h.e.l.l?
He fiercely said to Chang Teng, “What are the contract terms they signed? How should they pay for a unilateral breach of contract?”
Chang Teng looked at Gerry and the other man as if looking at an ignorant child. His tone was very formal. “If racers breach the contract, they are to compensate ten times their salaries and they cannot appear in the racing industry for a year.”
For a racer, they could afford to earn less. However, if they were to retire for one year, the popularity they had previously acc.u.mulated would disappear. It would be difficult for them to partic.i.p.ate in large-scale compet.i.tions in the future.
When the other man heard the consequences, his heart swelled, and immediately turned to walk to the others.
It was as if he did not intend to follow Gerry anymore.
Gerry just happened to reach the bottom of the stairs when he heard Chang Teng. He suddenly stopped walking and glared at Ouyang Ming with bloodshot eyes. “I will never allow someone receiving preferential treatment to be in my team, especially if they are also ignorant and will hinder me.”
“Preferential treatment?” Ouyang Ming recalled the ten racing cars he lost and laughed out of anger. “The h.e.l.l with your preferential treatment.”
Honestly speaking, he wished for Zi Yi to be receiving preferential treatment. She was so arrogant and if she indeed received preferential treatment, he would be the first one to slap it back in her face.
He then informed all the racers. “She will only partic.i.p.ate in the individual compet.i.tion, which will not affect your performance. Also… this is something between us and she has to partic.i.p.ate. Don’t think of competing with her right away. If you have any dissatisfaction, you better tolerate it and release all your grudges after the compet.i.tion.”
After he said that, he spoke to Zi Yi. “You don’t have to come over in the following days. I’ll let Chang Teng tell you everything you ought to know.”
The racers were unaware of Ouyang Ming’s concern for them. After the compet.i.tion, they would only thank him for preventing them from racing against Zi Yi in advance.
After Zi Yi glanced at the drivers, her gaze landed on Gerry in the end. Her eyes contained pity.
In fact, she really wanted to teach that guy a lesson.
Ouyang Ming could see through Zi Yi’s thoughts in a glance and he became even more irritable.
“Chang Teng!”
“Yes boss!”
“Take her to your office and explain the rules and regulations of the compet.i.tion.”
Chang Teng looked at his irritable boss and hastily gestured for Zi Yi to follow him. “Miss Zi, please follow me.”
Zi Yi gave Ouyang Ming a cold gaze before she walked in the direction of Chang Teng’s office.
When she walked past Gerry, she suddenly stopped. With her lips curled, she sneered. “Ten days from now, I hope to see you in the individual compet.i.tion.”
Having said her piece, she left while Gerry’s gloomy eyes stared at her.
