Wu Shi returned early, and not just because he'd been away for a long time and was feeling a bit homesick. It was also because he had far more work to do for this race than any of the other drivers.
For one, Shanghai was a major economic hub, and the sheer number of partnership offers being thrown their way made even Sid marvel. When a star athlete emerged in Hua Country, the investors went absolutely insane.
For another, Jiushi Company was planning something special for Wu Shi during the pre-race driver parade. Even if it didn't require a rehearsal, it still needed his approval, as well as clearance from the FIA.
Wu Shi hadn't expected his father to arrive so early.
On his second day in Shanghai, Sid had already rented a car to take him and Louise to the Jiushi Company. But when they went downstairs, a Mercedes-Benz E400L Hybrid was parked and waiting.
"Looks like my timing is perfect," Wu Zhenlin said as he stepped out of the car.
