Why race if you don’t have money?

Chapter 20: Unclear Relationship

After returning home, Chen Xiangbei went straight into his room and began to develop a preliminary muscle strength training plan based on his training experience in his previous life.

Without the assistance of professional equipment, all Chen Xiangbei can do now is to use his own weight or simple equipment, such as starting with the simplest neck bridge movement.

In fact, fitness is not about fancy techniques. The key is persistence. Even if you have a gym at home and load it up with all kinds of exercise equipment, it will be useless if you fish for three days and dry the net for two days.

Fortunately, Chen Xiangbei's willpower can be said to be extraordinary. In his previous life, he went to the European Driver Academy for formula training, and he could be said to have the worst foundation among his peers.

This is not to say that Chen Xiangbei is not good, but it is limited by the overall level of China's formula racing. There is indeed a big gap between him and the top European driver academy.

Even though Chen Xiangbei has already swept all the karting championships in China, he only found out that he is the weakest one when he went to Europe!

But relying on hard work and persistence, Chen Xiangbei defeated his competitors step by step in F3 and F2, and finally came to the F1 paddock at the top of the formula pyramid.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the results...

After exercising, he fell asleep exhausted. When the alarm clock woke Chen Xiangbei the next day, he found that his neck muscles were still a little sore. It seemed that the intensity of the first day was a bit too high and the recovery time was not enough.

Fortunately, youth is the biggest advantage. After washing up, Chen Xiangbei went out to school. As usual, he went to the breakfast stall at the entrance of the community and prepared to buy breakfast to eat while walking.

But he saw a familiar figure from afar. Hu Lingfei, just like yesterday, was holding a breakfast and waving at him.

"Hey, you're welcome."

Chen Xiangbei sighed helplessly. This girl was really honest. She would probably be a prime target for telecom fraud in a few years.

But despite what he said, he still didn't hesitate to take the breakfast.

"I don't know how to thank you, this is all I can do."

Hu Lingfei replied shyly. Although she was simple, she was not stupid.

After seeing Ma Minghan's true face, he realized that if it weren't for Chen Xiangbei's help, he would probably fall into a nightmare.

She really wanted to thank Chen Xiangbei, but she didn't know what to do, so she could only stand at the door waiting for him to buy breakfast.

"What's there to be thankful for? What's done is done."

Chen Xiangbei was still carefree and walked towards the school after he finished speaking.

He never did anything for gratitude, not even for Hu Lingfei. He simply couldn't stand the disgusting behavior of Ma Minghan's grandson. If it were anyone else, they would have taken action as well.

Looking at Chen Xiangbei's departing back, Hu Lingfei caught up with him and walked side by side, saying, "But what I said yesterday, will it have an impact on you?"

Now almost all the students in the school know that she had rejected Chen Xiangbei. Hu Lingfei felt guilty whenever she thought about it.

"It's a minor impact. Everyone will forget about it in a couple of days."

Chen Xiangbei replied nonchalantly, people like Fatty Wang will forget about it on the same day!

"really?"

"Of course it is."

"Chen Xiangbei, if...if there is any impact, I...I'm sorry..."

When Hu Lingfei was about to say something, Fatty Wang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, threw his arms around Chen Xiangbei's neck, and said affectionately, "What did you talk about with Uncle Liang last night? Was it about modifying the car?"

"Fatty, be gentle!"

Fatty Wang weighs 170 to 180 kilograms. Under normal circumstances, Chen Xiangbei could still handle him, but his neck muscles had not recovered from last night's exercise, and he almost sprained his neck when he pounced on him.

"Chen Xiangbei, are you okay?"

Facing Chen Xiangbei's cry of pain, Hu Lingfei immediately asked nervously.

When he heard a girl's voice coming from the other side, Wang Yidong realized that Chen Xiangbei was not alone, and there was a girl going to school with him.

After taking a closer look, isn't this Hu Lingfei from Class 5 who slapped Ma Minghan in the face? Wasn't that the scene yesterday where Chen Xiangbei put himself in the game to act, and did this guy really try to lick someone again but failed?

"It's okay, I just had a stiff neck last night."

Chen Xiangbei casually explained that there was no need to publicize things like muscle training for riders.

"You're Hu Lingfei from Class 5, right? Could it be that you two are really related?"

Fatty Wang didn't care about whether he had a stiff neck or not. All his attention was focused on Hu Lingfei, and the gossip fire in his heart was already burning.

"Don't make trouble, we are actually neighbors in the same community."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xiangbei turned to look at Hu Lingfei and said, "You go to school first."

If Hu Lingfei wasn't allowed to leave first, Fatty Wang would definitely keep asking questions, so Chen Xiangbei was too lazy to explain too much.

"Ah."

Hu Lingfei felt a little embarrassed by Wang Yidonggang's gossip. She nodded and quickened her pace towards the school.

"What do you mean, are they really neighbors in the community?"

"How could this be false? Why don't you go to our community and investigate?" "Then why haven't I seen you and Hu Lingfei communicating before?"

"Didn't you lick Xue Meiting before?"

After hearing Chen Xiangbei's answer, Wang Yidong suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

Then Wang Yidong said in a very serious tone, "Chen Xiangbei, I think your ability to pick up girls has far exceeded the realm of a bootlicker. You should be given a new title."

"Replace it with what?"

"Wolf Warrior!"

"..."

Chen Xiangbei was speechless for a moment. This fat guy really knows how to think of words.

"Fatty Wang, if you have the energy to pay attention to these things, you might as well pay more attention to your Corolla."

"Uncle Liang has no time to repair it during the day, so the construction period will probably be extended."

When Chen Xiangbei changed the subject and brought out this trump card, Wang Yidong immediately changed his tone and cried, "No way, I promised my father that the Corolla would be repaired and returned to me in the next two days."

"How about you go to Uncle Liang's auto repair shop after school today and help out and see if you can speed up the process."

“But I can’t repair a car.”

"If you don't know, then learn!"

After Chen Xiangbei said this, he was too lazy to pay attention to Fatty Wang anymore and also quickened his pace to go to school.

He came to the classroom and sat down. Today, Zhou Yanjing arrived at school late, which was rare. He was fiddling with his mobile phone in his seat.

"What are you looking at so seriously?"

Chen Xiangbei patted Zhou Yanjing's shoulder and asked casually.

"Looking at the news about the F1 Chinese Grand Prix, the first practice session is today, Friday, and the points are very close among several drivers. I wonder who will win the WDC (Drivers' Championship) this year."

The reason why Chen Xiangbei, Wang Yidonggang and Zhou Chenshu became friends is that they all have a common interest in racing.

But compared to Fatty Wang, who has no clear idea of ​​what to do and always dreams of becoming a racer, or even a "racing god," Zhou Yanjing is very clear about his identity as a geek and is content to be a racing enthusiast.

"Who do you think is more likely?"

"Massa from Ferrari!"

Without any hesitation, Zhou Yanjing gave the answer.

"Why not McLaren's Hamilton? He is leading the standings now and finished second last year by just one point. He has shown his kingly qualities this year."

Even though Chen Xiangbei knew the result, he still chose not to spoil the plot and only gave some guidance.

"No reason, Erfameng!"

"Good reason."

Chen Xiangbei nodded in agreement. The Ferrari team is indeed the spiritual totem of F1 history.

Just as the two were discussing the winner of this year's WDC, Shai Minghui appeared out of nowhere and appeared in front of Chen Xiangbei.

"Chen Xiangbei, I've found someone to run a race with you. Let's set a time."

"I said I wouldn't run away. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Faced with the harassment of Sha Minghui that was like a dog-skin plaster, Chen Xiangbei was very impatient.

If Chen Xiangbei had responded like this normally, Sha Minghui would have been furious. Who dared to speak to him like that?

But today, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Chen Xiangbei, Qin Lianjie offered you 30,000 to run a match, and you're tempted. Then I'll offer you 50,000 to run a match. Do you dare to accept it?"

Paying for abuse?

If something is illogical, there must be some sinister plot behind it.

Chen Xiangbei is not really a novice, and it is a bit naive for Sha Minghui to use this trick of financial temptation in front of him.

Just when he was about to refuse, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind and he thought of a foolproof plan.

"Okay, but you have to pay first before you run. Also, I'll decide the time, place, and method of the race."

"no problem!"

Sha Minghui agreed readily, it turned out that money is really useful.
