Why race if you don’t have money?

Chapter 28: No Shortcomings Allowed

Faced with the new title of "Nanyunshan Driving God", Chen Xiangbei smiled and didn't care.

Ever since the movie "Initial D" became popular in China, anyone from any place can call themselves the "God of Rollercoasters", causing the value of this title to depreciate sharply.

Of course, Liang Chi was just joking. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Handsome boy, Xiao Qin just transferred 30,000 yuan to you. It's time to pay for the car repairs, right?"

Chen Xiangbei knew that whenever Lao Deng said something nice, something bad was bound to happen.

But being called a handsome guy is better than being called a loser by those guys who are showing off their wealth.

"how much is it?"

"Thirty thousand."

"How many?"

Chen Xiangbei was afraid that he didn't hear clearly, so he confirmed it again.

"Thirty thousand."

"Damn it, why don't you just go and rob it!"

"Didn't we agree that the employee price would be 10,000 or 20,000 after a 20% discount? Why is it doubled now?"

Chen Xiangbei broke down on the spot. He only got 30,000 just for winning the game, but Liang Chi was planning to not leave him a penny.

"Kid, repairing a Corolla only costs 10,000 or 20,000, but that Subaru Impreza cost 180,000 to customize with carbon fiber parts. Aren't you going to pay for it?"

"The problem is, this Subaru Impreza isn't mine. It's a bit unfair to charge me for all the modification costs just for the one-year right of use."

"Whoever opens the business should pay for it. That's what's called fairness."

Liang Chi crossed his legs, shook his head and added, "Boy, if you continue to calculate, the right to use it for one year will be converted into rent."

This sentence left Chen Xiangbei speechless. He didn't expect that he didn't enter F1 in his previous life because of lack of sponsorship, and in this life he even lacked money to run a street race.

Why race if you have no money!

"you are vicious."

After Chen Xiangbei said this, he directly took out the bank card from his wallet and handed it over.

Liang Chi took the bank card with a smile, nodded and praised: "Not bad, you are quite generous."

"In that case, I'll give you a big gift package and completely modify the chassis and power system of your Subaru Impreza."

Big gift package?
"Uncle Liang, didn't you say that mountain racing doesn't require such high horsepower?"

"Who told you that you can beat Han Han and his Volkswagen 222 team's dedicated racing car on the Haizhu International Circuit with this car without any modifications?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiangbei immediately realized that Liang Chi was planning to help him modify the car and challenge Han Han to a duel.

"Uncle Liang, I apologize for my prejudice. You are such a kind person!"

If it weren't for Lao Deng's wrinkled face, Chen Xiangbei could even give him a loving hug.

"Don't be too happy. The fat guy said you're planning to run a show with your classmates. I think there's a 50,000 yuan appearance fee, right?"

At this point, Liang Chi showed a smug smile and added: "When the time comes, just transfer it directly to this card."

I see……

Liang Chi laughed happily, but Chen Xiangbei felt like crying but had no tears.

People’s joys and sorrows are not shared!
"If you're alright, I'll go home first."

Chen Xiangbei replied with gritted teeth.

"Don't be impatient. I know that talking about money hurts feelings. Now let's talk about something that won't hurt feelings."

Chen Xiangbei was now extremely alert and uttered only one word: "Speak!"

"When the modification parts arrive, you have to come over and help out. It's not part-time work."

"No way, you won't even let go of this little mosquito leg?"

"Even a mosquito's leg is meat."

Liang Chi replied with a chuckle. His entire fortune was now almost in the hands of Technician No. 38 next door, and he still had to rely on his past connections to buy parts on credit. Of course, Liang Chi had asked Chen Xiangbei to help with the car modification, primarily to increase his understanding of automotive mechanics and thus improve his future racing skills.

You should know that the more top-level the competition, the higher the requirements for the driver's comprehensive abilities.

At the level of F1 events, many drivers are not only able to drive, but also have to be proficient in automotive engineering and even aerodynamics, and go directly to the factory to participate in the research and development of the next generation of racing cars.

Even if you have a lower cultural level and lack the ability to develop, if you want to truly achieve "oneness" with the racing car, you must at least learn the two basic skills of "feedback" and "tuning".

Because the layout, temperature, climate, downforce, etc. of each track are different, the corresponding drivers have to perceive the subtle differences and feed them back to the racing engineers to make targeted adjustments to the car.

If the racing engineers are unable to achieve a 100% match, the drivers will have to adjust the car themselves to achieve a 100% match.

Racing is never as simple as sitting in the cockpit and fiddling with the steering wheel. If Chen Xiangbei wants to race in F1, he has to work harder than ordinary drivers to reach the top of the pyramid.

Otherwise, every driver who can reach the F1 paddock is a genius. Why can you, Chen Xiangbei, cross the threshold and sit in that highly anticipated cockpit?
If you want to crush everyone, you cannot allow any shortcomings!
"Got it. I'll be notified when the modified parts arrive. If nothing else, I'll be heading back."

Chen Xiangbei responded, then turned around and went home helplessly.

Looking at Chen Xiangbei's departing back, Liang Chi smiled.

This kid has a quality that he likes very much, that is, although he talks a lot, he is very serious and never vague when it comes to doing things.

Then Liang Chi found a familiar name in his phone's address book and dialed it.

After a few beeps, a hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Lao Liang, you called me at this time, are you trying to make fun of me?"

"CFR2000 is not only yours, it's also mine. Would I laugh at it?"

Liang Chi replied in a self-deprecating tone.

"Then what do you want to say?"

"Han Han will be coming to East Guangdong Province next month. Please arrange a running match with him for me."

"Running with whom?"

"In the school where he was going to give a lecture, there was a high school student named Chen Xiangbei."

"High school student?"

When the person on the other end of the phone heard this identity, he was obviously a little surprised. Liang Chi shouldn't call to joke at this time.

"By the way, if you have time, you can also come to the Haizhu International Circuit to take a look. This high school student is very strong."

"How strong can it be?"

“Maybe better than the young drivers who have tried out before.”

After saying this, Liang Chi quickly hung up the phone.

He believed that the temptation of "stopping at the right time" would be enough to attract his old friend on the other end of the phone to come and watch the game. Then Chen Xiangbei would have to rely on his own performance on the track to open the road to Formula One racing.

……

When he returned home, the lights in the living room were dim. His mother, Zhao Yumei, had told him in advance that she would have to work overtime at the company tonight, which saved Chen Xiangbei from nagging.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Chen Xiangbei turned on the desk lamp and sat at the desk, writing two test papers assigned by the head teacher.

If you ask what was the most painful aspect of Chen Xiangbei’s rebirth, it was definitely the study in high school!
In my previous life, I entered professional training, which resulted in my cultural foundation being not very good, and even what I learned was only knowledge related to racing.

After the college entrance examination, I had already returned the contents of the textbooks to the teacher. Now I have to pick them all up again. It is more painful than killing me.

Even if Chen Xiangbei is worthy of the description of "extraordinary perseverance" among his peers, he still cannot withstand the test of "five years of college entrance examination and three years of simulation".

Chen Xiangbei barely finished the two test papers after writing until he felt dizzy and blurry. He glanced at the alarm clock on the desk and saw that it was already 2:30 in the morning.

There was no choice but to leave a test paper for tomorrow. Chen Xiangbei lay back on the bed and fell asleep.

To the point that even in my dreams at night, the unfinished test paper is all in my mind. This high school life is more torturous than my professional life...
