The race hadn't started yet, but the internet was already in an uproar.
In the official live broadcast room, in just a short half hour since the start, Zhang Ziyuan and the broadcaster Yao Ming had shot up to the trending searches.
However, most of them were mocking Yao Ming for overestimating himself and seeking his own disgrace.
Contrary to the online fervor, in the conference room of the International Racing Alliance Huaxia District headquarters, the atmosphere had turned frigid.
The event was organized by the International Racing Alliance Huaxia District, and the person in charge was Vice President Guo Mingwei.
He sat in the main seat of the conference room.
Below him, seated to his left, were managers from four small to medium-sized platforms.
Chi Mingkun sat at the very end.
