Chapter 700: Chapter 280: So What If I Rub It in Your Face? (Part 2)

But he clearly understands what hosting an F1 event means for a country with a weak racing background. The other party obviously expects to hear some words of praise and recognition to satisfy the national pride.

When abroad, there’s no need to blindly create hatred and belittle, it’s important to have some "emotional intelligence".

"Mr. Chen Xiangbei, after the last race, many drivers have already listed you as a major rival, especially Hamilton, who was knocked off the track. He publicly declared to the media that he wants revenge."

"As the youngest division champion in F1, do you think you still have the ability to defeat the youngest world champion in F1 history on a brand new track?"

"Of course."

Chen Xiangbei gave an extremely affirmative answer and even added a sentence.

"Oh, if I become the world champion, then the youngest title in F1 history will change hands."

Arrogant!

Upon hearing Chen Xiangbei’s answer, the word "arrogant" popped into host Jin Haoxian’s mind.

As expected, he lives up to the description of the arrogant Chinese kid by foreign media. Chen Xiangbei not only shows his determination to defeat Hamilton but also hints at his ambition for the world championship and F1 records.

Just got the division champion and already coveting the world champion, does he really not take super genius Hamilton seriously?

"Mr. Chen Xiangbei, you don’t seem to fear Hamilton’s strength?"

"Fear?"

"I never fear anyone, besides I think I’m stronger!"

Chen Xiangbei didn’t bother to cover up for humility. Hamilton is indeed one of the most talented drivers in F1 history.

But in the 10th season, he’s not fit to be called the strongest driver in the paddock.

At least Alonso, Vettel, Weber, and even Button, Masa, Rosberg qualify to go head-to-head with him.

If Schumacher wasn’t affected by injuries and had a ’flashback’, he’d have to be included as well.

If even Hamilton is feared, how can he defeat drivers stronger than him?

"OK, let’s move on to the next question."

Jin Haoxian was somewhat speechless. The Chinese rookie was a bit overly arrogant.

"Mr. Chen Xiangbei, recently there’s been online spread about your involvement in a fight in Itaewon. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Host Jin Haoxian finally got to the point. Compared to interviewing Chen Xiangbei about his views on the track and his goals and expectations.

Yonhap News Agency believes Korean citizens want more to know the truth about the ’street fight’!

"I have emphasized it was not a street fight, but a legitimate self-defense."

"But many people saw you taking the first shot and using racially abusive language."

Host Jin Haoxian began pressing further, his tone noticeably excited.

Putting professional ethics aside, he is also a Korean.

The word ’棒子’ is unacceptable!

"Everything must be backed by evidence, not just relying on hearsay."

"Moreover, who threw the first punch? I think you need to correct your view. Clearly, it was Mr. Briatore from the HRT Team who was attacked by a group of people, which led to this self-defense incident!"

"Didn’t so many people hearing on-site count as evidence?"

"Mr. Chen Xiangbei, evasion will never hide the truth!"

As the conversation reached this point, the Korean host’s inherent obstinacy was revealed, with words full of aggression.

"Since so many people heard on-site, they should know what the Korean shouted, wasn’t what the shopkeeper said also racial slander?"

Initially, Chen Xiangbei had taken Lu Xiaoman’s advice to heart, thinking he was at least a public figure.

Even if he didn’t consider his personal image, he was representing the national image abroad.

However, at this moment, Chen Xiangbei immediately understood, the Korean host wasn’t looking for the truth but purely trying to pressure him into admitting ’fault’ using words.

Chen Xiangbei was always one to yield to soft rather than hard. Seeing the other party still seemed polite, he planned to conduct the interview courteously.

Since the other party was a bit disrespectful, Chen Xiangbei intended to retaliate!

"Mr. Chen Xiangbei, you also have no evidence to prove these words were said."

"But the fact that someone was injured in the conflict is an objective reality!"

"So your point is that whoever is more miserable has reason?"

Chen Xiangbei directly shot back.

Upon hearing this, Jin Haoxian was initially stunned, then just as he was about to argue.

Chen Xiangbei immediately spoke: "There’s a Chinese saying: when wrong, admit it; when beaten, stand upright."

"Remember, don’t be a sore loser!"

When Chen Xiangbei said this, his gaze was no longer fixed on Jin Haoxian but directly aimed at the camera beside him.

After finishing, he stood up and left without hesitation, leaving Jin Haoxian sitting there, looking at his back with a blue face.

To be honest, the ultimate goal of this interview was, on one hand, to delve into the hot topic.

On the other hand, Jin Haoxian hoped to pressure Chen Xiangbei through media and politically correct tactics to voluntarily apologize, to quell the overwhelming public opinion and vent anger.

But never expected, Chen Xiangbei doesn’t buy into this tactic at all!

Especially the final statement, already a blatant provocation to the Korean public!

Outside the media center, in the corridor, Lu Xiaoman was leisurely listening, thinking Chen Xiangbei’s interview would last at least an hour.

However, after only ten minutes, he saw the guy push open the door and come out, seemingly emanating ’killing intent’ all over.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaoman immediately realized the negotiations had collapsed.
