179: Chapter 179 An Unexpected Encounter with a Beauty!
"Miss Monica, I can't believe you're here. It seems we really have a deep bond of fate."
Shen Zhou was stunned for a moment, but then a smile quickly bloomed on his face.
The person appearing before him was none other than Monica, the eldest princess of the Ancient Roman Royal Family.
At this moment, Monica's face was also beaming with a warm smile.
Her already extremely noble temperament was made even more dazzling by that long purple dress.
That exquisite face stood out even in the star-studded venue of the Kuangbiao Competition today.
"Hee hee, actually I quite like racing too. I had already snuck into the private box earlier."
Monica couldn't help but be playful.
Although in the eyes of the public, she was completely someone enthusiastic about charity.
But at just over twenty years old, she was at a playful age; how could she really be as old-fashioned and boring as the outside world perceived her?
"Hahaha, I never expected Miss Monica to have such a hobby."
"However, it just so happens that I also recently formed a racing team in Switzerland, and my team sent a driver to compete, though the results were just average."
Shen Zhou stood to the side and began to chat with Monica.
"Ah, Mr. Shen has a racing team too? May I ask which driver is from your team, and which car number were they driving just now?"
Monica's eyes lit up immediately, and she couldn't help but ask.
"The number eight driver is from our team, but he only placed fifth in the race. However, fortunately, he is young and it's his first time participating in a major competition, so this result is not bad."
Although Shen Zhou was proud in his heart, he still appeared very humble in front of Monica.
Just like how he had intentionally used a modest retreat to say the fifth-place result wasn't very good.
He just didn't want to become a man who only knew how to brag in Monica's eyes.
What's more, he had never forgotten Andrei's instructions to him, so it would be best to win over Monica.
"Come to think of it, it would have been better to use my loyalty card on Monica."
Shen Zhou suddenly muttered to himself.
However, after thinking about it in the end, he didn't feel there was anything to regret.
After all, Maria was also a very outstanding woman, and in the future, she would play an even more important role in Switzerland.
As for Monica, although she currently seemed like a high mountain, there were signs of it melting at this very moment.
"So that number eight racer was sponsored by you, Mr. Shen."
"That number eight driver certainly looks like a newborn calf that is not afraid of the tiger; his future is promising."
Monica even used a clumsy Chinese idiom.
This immediately filled Shen Zhou's eyes with surprise.
"I've only learned a few phrases of Chinese. I didn't say it well, and I hope Mr. Shen won't blame me."
Monica couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, the bright smile in her eyes causing many people around to stop and watch.
"Miss Monica, you said it very well. But are you here just to watch the race?"
Shen Zhou was still a bit incredulous.
It was just that the image Monica had left for him before was too dignified.
And many people who like racing have a wild and crazy side hidden in their nature.
Of course, some celebrities who just came to ride the wave of traffic were naturally not in this category.
"Of course not. Actually, I came this time mainly because a fashion magazine is sponsoring the Kuangbiao Competition."
"And as a signed representative of the fashion magazine, I have an obligation to report from here."
"But being able to see Mr. Shen here really makes me feel very pleasantly surprised."
"Since Mr. Shen has invested in a racing team, I'm afraid you yourself must also have quite a bit of research into racing."
Monica looked at Shen Zhou full of anticipation.
Shen Zhou smiled and nodded, saying, "I've studied it a little. Getting on the track and running a couple of laps is no problem at all."
"Besides, just a few days ago, I had a good race with an amateur guy. My performance was quite good at the time, and I achieved a decent result."
Shen Zhou couldn't help but show a proud expression on his face.
Moreover, when he talked about racing, his confident and flying demeanor was also proclaiming to Monica that he truly loved racing, rather than just existing as an investor.
Monica, who was to the side, couldn't help but cheer with joy, saying, "If there's a chance, I must see what Mr. Shen looks like on the track. I think it will be just like the night of the banquet, after all, Mr. Shen is always humble."
At the end, Monica couldn't help but cast a strange look at Shen Zhou.
And Shen Zhou just smiled helplessly.
At the banquet that day, although he said he couldn't dance classical dance at all, he became comfortable and at ease shortly after starting.
It was even on par with someone like Monica who was proficient in classical dance.
So Monica thought that when he said he couldn't dance that day, he was being humble.
Therefore, she inferred that when Shen Zhou said he wasn't very good at racing, he was also being humble.
"But come to think of it, Monica really hit the nail on the head by accident."
If Shen Zhou were to go on the track with his trained skills, he would probably be able to rank among the best in the Kuangbiao Competition.
If he wanted to, he could replace the number eight driver at any time.
"Miss Monica, if I had known you were attending the competition, I would have gone to the private box to look for you."
Sensing that Monica seemed to be quite flexible, Shen Zhou immediately began a slightly proactive offensive.
"Haha, that would be my great honor, but this time I took the initiative to find you, so next time it will be your turn."
A look of craftiness appeared in the depths of Monica's eyes.
Shen Zhou was shocked in his heart, feeling secretly that there was a chance.
But just when he wanted to continue asking, he saw Monica shyly turn her head away.
And this made him even more certain; it seemed the lingering effect of that day at the charity gala was already taking effect.
"Miss Monica, no matter what, I must thank you. There are quite a few people watching around us, and I suppose after today's scene spreads, I will be the envy of many."
Shen Zhou couldn't help but glance around, feigning self-satisfaction.
There were many people in the private box corridor stopping to watch.
After all, standing beside Shen Zhou was none other than Monica, the eldest daughter of the Ancient Roman Royal Family and the apple of Europe's eye.
Monica had always kept herself clean and upright, and had never had any scandals with any male stars.
In many public occasions, she was also very careful about her social distance from other men.
Yet, she never expected that today, Monica would be openly chatting and laughing with Shen Zhou.
That silver bell-like laughter drifted over from time to time, making many men in the venue feel itchy and restless.
"Mr. Shen, that might not necessarily be a good thing. Perhaps someone will come to cause you trouble later..."
"It's nothing more than soldiers come, the general blocks; water comes, the earth covers, Monica. If I could be your shield, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would want to compete with me for it."
"Besides, I don't think there's any need for us to be so distant; let's just call each other by our first names."
Shen Zhou naturally didn't care, shifted the topic without hesitation, and let out a hearty laugh again.
