After the Monaco Grand Prix, there is a short break, with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix taking place in two weeks, which is also one of Leclerc's favorite circuits.

I am stupid corner is still a topic among fans.

Meanwhile, this track has witnessed countless memorable moments, teammate rivalry, kicking apart Pirelli's frame, brake errors leading off track and losing the championship, and such.

But that's all for two weeks later. After the celebration banquet, Qin Miao went home to rest.

The next day, Qin Miao opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.

Last season, once the race was over, it was truly over, with enough time for rest and adjustments, but not today. In the morning, there's an interview he needs to attend, and in the afternoon and evening, Qimeng informed him he needs to attend a gathering at the Monaco royalty.

The interview will be conducted by Five-Star Sports together with CCTV, which cannot be refused.

After all, one is Five-Star Sports with whom he has a good relationship, and the other is a national-level media.

And the royal banquet is even more non-negotiable; with the Monaco royalty's invitation delivered right to his doorstep, and they personally awarded him yesterday, Qin Miao naturally has no excuse not to go.

The good news is that both of today's activities don't require Qin Miao to travel far, as they are right in Monaco.

Thus, after getting up, Qin Miao sighed once again.

Beside him, Qimeng hasn't gotten up yet, her hair a messy spread on her face as she lies on the bed.

Last night, Qin Miao had kept her quite busy, leaving her exhausted on the bed even without taking a shower.

Qin Miao didn't wake her but instead gently moved her hair aside to not affect her breathing, then got up, grabbed a random t-shirt, wore a Mercedes cap, put on a mask and sunglasses, and after greeting his mom who was reading and drinking tea on the balcony, he headed out.

Given it's the day after the Monaco Grand Prix ended, there are still many tourists who haven't left, so now Qin Miao needs to disguise himself somewhat when going out.

In the morning, he attended a special interview with Zhou Haoran and the team, and then participated in the CCTV interview.

After finishing these two projects, Qin Miao bid farewell to the CCTV crew and then brought Zhou Haoran home for lunch.

After lunch and taking some footage at Qin Miao's house, Zhou Haoran left with the Five-Star Sports team to return home.

Meanwhile, in the afternoon, Qin Miao took a shower, then changed into a suit he rarely wears, and with Qimeng's help, tied a black tie.

This time, Qin Miao was attending as a guest, and given his reserved personality, he didn't need to dress too flamboyantly.

Initially, Qin Miao wanted to bring Qimeng along, but she outright refused.

Like Qin Miao, she wasn't fond of that atmosphere, moreover, the invitation card had only invited Qin Miao.

Though bringing a date to such gatherings is quite normal and wouldn't raise any eyebrows, or even considered standard protocol, Qimeng still refused.

Qin Miao didn't insist, since he personally would also prefer staying home relaxed rather than put on a façade.

Having dressed up, Qin Miao drove to the Prince's Palace of Monaco.

Just 100 meters further north is the Monte Carlo circuit's T19 and T18.

It's only a fifteen-minute walk from Qin Miao's house, but participating in a banquet, going there on foot doesn't quite sound right.

Hence, driving was chosen.

Arriving nearby, Qin Miao noticed the track being dismantled by the construction team and even saw the Mercedes crew still packing up.

He greeted them from a distance and headed to the palace's entrance.

Coincidentally, as Qin Miao arrived, Leclerc also showed up.

The two were almost back-to-back.

After parking the car, noticing Leclerc, Qin Miao felt quite pleased, because in such a relatively unfamiliar environment, having someone familiar around certainly puts your mind at ease. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

However, after Leclerc got out of the car, he walked over to Qin Miao with a face full of regret, and amid Qin Miao's puzzled look, patted Qin Miao's shoulder and directly said, "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday."

A big question mark appeared above Qin Miao's head, "What happened that you're apologizing for?"

"You still don't know?"

"Should I know something?"

Leclerc gently coughed, feeling the awkwardness of explaining the issue he caused himself, but nevertheless, he braced himself and said, "Yesterday, on the podium, didn't we discuss the possibility of you joining Ferrari?"

Since there were no outsiders around, Qin Miao nodded directly and said, "Yeah, I remember."

After saying that, Qin Miao paused, looking at Leclerc's somewhat embarrassed expression and said, "Wait a minute, don't tell me this has already spread?"

Although the reporters in the paddock aren't like entertainment gossip reporters who have a strong desire to distort and stir up trouble, speaking out about this can still sound unpleasant, where in the media, you might get criticized or people might say a few bad things about you.
