How Did I Become an F1 Driver?

Chapter 988 386: Half a Home Game (6K, Extra Update 10/15)

As a result, every time this group of people freeloads at Qin Miao's house, they experience both pain and joy.It's truly delicious, but the amount of physical training after eating almost doubles.

Sometimes, eating too spicy makes going to the bathroom an extremely painful experience.

Of course, Qin Miao didn't let the conversation die down and smoothly shifted the topic to the paddock.

After all, they are all F1 drivers, so their conversation in this area could easily expand.

The slightly dull atmosphere instantly turned lively.

...

After lunch, Qin Miao drove Leclerc and Norris back, and Zhou Guanyu also took his luggage to the hotel booked by the team.

After all, it's a back-to-back race, and Qin Miao, who usually helps the team with development and doesn't engage much in commercial activities, can have two days of rest during such races.

But Leclerc and the others, with endorsement contracts and team promotions, don't have as much free time as Qin Miao.

After a meal and maintaining the friendship between friends, they all went back home to rest.

After tidying up the kitchen, washing off the dishes and utensils, and loading them into the dishwasher, lunchtime tasks were mostly done.

Upon entering the living room and not seeing his mom, Qin Miao curiously asked Qimeng, who was processing some documents, "Where's mom?"

"I think she's in the study."

"I'll go and check."

"Okay."

Upon entering the study, Qin Miao saw his mom using a cloth to wipe the stand of his racing simulator.

Both Qin Miao and Qimeng hadn't been back for a while, so many places had gathered dust.

Under normal circumstances, when Qin Miao and Qimeng are home, they would invite a cleaning company once a week to clean the house.

But this week, Qimeng was busy in the UK with Qin Miao's agency matters, and Qin Miao was racing in Spain, so there wasn't time to call someone over.

"Hey, mom, why are you doing this? We'll call someone over to clean eventually." Qin Miao hurriedly went over to stop his mom.

"Idling at home is still idling, so I might as well clean."

Qin Miao grimaced, knowing his mom too well; when she says idle, she's likely truly bored.

He scratched his head, "How about I take you to visit the Louvre? We might as well go to the Eiffel Tower too, I don't think I've been there before."

To his surprise, his mom rolled her eyes and said, "You go if you want, I'm not going. That place doesn't even compare to our hometown county; the roads are so narrow, and there's trash everywhere on the streets."

"Huh?" Qin Miao was a bit confused, "You've been there?"

His mom nodded, casually handing the cloth to Qin Miao, "While you were racing in Spain, Qimeng took me there."

Qin Miao accepted the cloth somewhat confused, "Why didn't she take me?"

His mom rolled her eyes again, the gesture identical to Qin Miao's, "You don't even realize how busy you are; you hardly have time to answer calls at the end of the day. Sometimes I wonder if letting you go overseas to participate in this F1 was the right decision; I worry about your safety yet see how overwhelmingly busy you are."

Qin Miao embarrassedly rubbed his nose; actually, strictly speaking, he should be the least busy among all F1 drivers.

Zhou Guanyu and those drivers with endorsement contracts barely have time to rest during back-to-back race days, and yet he's able to squeeze out two days to rest.

Regarding his mom's calls, it's not that he doesn't want to answer, but his mom calls only after his race ends and he achieves good results.

During that time, Qin Miao had to attend meetings, various post-race interviews, go to the FIA, and also partake in post-race team gatherings.

That was indeed Qin Miao's busiest period, with virtually no time to answer calls.

Qin Miao wanted to say, why don't you call when I'm not busy?

But Qin Miao didn't dare say that, so he could only nod and agree.

Playing the role of a good boy in front of his mom is nothing to be ashamed of!

"By the way, why did you come? You didn't even let me know you were coming."

His mom didn't dwell on the topic and instead said, "I resigned from my job back home, and now I have lots of free time, so I came to visit."

Despite being somewhat surprised by his mom's answer, Qin Miao was quite happy about it; he has money now, and after his mom left her job, he can afford to support her, and she wouldn't need to weigh the pros and cons for buying things like before.

Isn't making money for just these things?

"That's great! You'll follow me around and visit every corner of the world, buying whatever you want. We don't need to save; your son's earning capability is among the best in this circle now."

"Showing off, huh?" His mom poked Qin Miao's forehead with her finger.

"Hey, ouch."

"Clean your own room; I'm going to find my daughter-in-law." After that, his mom left, leaving Qin Miao alone in the study looking at the cloth in his hand silently.

Hey wait, wasn't I just checking what my mom was doing? How come now I have to do some work?
