Since he had been discovered, Ya Heng greeted the camera lens in the reporter’s hand casually, "Hi, friends from Huaxia, it’s Ya Heng here. I’m very happy to meet you all."
Lu You also greeted the camera.
Then, the two of them cooperatively answered a few questions from the reporter.
The magazine the reporter worked for didn’t care much about this racing event; they hadn’t even assigned a videographer to him.
Under the circumstances, the reporter had to focus on the key points and explosive details during the interview, then took photos of Lu You and Ya Heng with the DSLR camera hanging around his neck.
After respectfully saying goodbye to them, he quickly sent the photos and interview records to his boss: "Editor-in-chief!! This is absolutely explosive news!! Hurry, publish it now!!"
Still worried that the news wouldn’t be taken seriously, he sent a pop-up message.
The editor-in-chief of the magazine was checking with another reporter at a different raceway about the presence of famous racers when the pop-up interrupted him, causing him to frown in displeasure, about to scold, but then he saw the photos sent by the junior reporter.
Editor-in-chief: ??!
He couldn’t help but rub his eyes and stared at the photo, zooming in several times...
After a long while, he confirmed he wasn’t seeing things wrong.
Then, the editor-in-chief was utterly flustered.
Why would a legendary figure from the Racing World show up at such a minor racing venue?!
The editor-in-chief typed bewilderingly to another reporter: [Huang Shiyin isn’t going your way, I’m sending him to Chi Yun Raceway.]
The other reporter: ??
Sending the best photographer in the office to that small raceway where they can’t even give away tickets??
-
As soon as that reporter’s interview and photos exploded online, they immediately topped the trending searches!!
Countless people were asking, which raceway was this? When was the petition?
And the reporters and anchors who were always watching online activities noticed it too, and in no time, Lu You and Ya Heng were surrounded by over a dozen reporters, shattering the peace of their quiet corner!
Other anchors didn’t dare to approach too closely and also hung back behind the reporters to soak up the attention.
In this situation, having long been accustomed to the limelight, Lu You and Ya Heng handled it effortlessly, while Chi Guize silently distanced himself from them with disdain.
At the same time.
The head of Chi Yun Group, who organized this event, was stressed to the point of nearly losing his hair as they held a meeting in the back room with the marketing team, pletely distracted from online notifications. The goal of hosting this race was to solidify their customer base and perhaps get a bit more publicity.
But unexpectedly, even after dropping the ticket prices to eighty yuan, no one was buying.
They even launched a special promotion where free tickets could be obtained by sharing the event on WeChat and gathering likes... but hardly anyone participated.
It wasn’t supposed to be this bad; they had chosen today specifically because their petitors had invested heavily to bring in famous racers and well-known teams, attracting all the race enthusiasts.
In the office, everyone was hanging their heads, at a loss.
With the market attention pulled away to another event, there was nothing they could do; they had to accept the loss.
"President Liang, maybe we should just let it go..." the head of the publicity team looked up, struggling to say, "Let’s plan for next time..."
Before he could finish, the staff responsible for ticket sales burst into the room, his voice shaky with astonishment: "President Liang... our tickets are sold out..."
Everyone in the room: ??
President Liang suddenly stood up, "What happened?"
"Well, it’s, you know, that legend from the Racing World, he... he came to our raceway..." the staff stuttered, "and once everyone knew, they all bought tickets..."
