“Why didn’t I know you were interested in car racing?” Chu Yang asked Tao Yan after hanging up the phone.

“I remember the last time you helped me quit my job at the club, it was Big Brother Li Kai who helped. Now that he invited you, it wouldn’t be nice if you didn’t go,” Tao Yan explained.

“Haha, if you put it that way, Big Brother Li Kai seems to be our matchmaker,” Chu Yang said with a smile after hearing Tao Yan’s explanation.

“Oh, there’s something that I don’t know about?” Tao Yan asked with some confusion after hearing Chu Yang’s words.

Tao Yan only knew that she could resign from the club thanks to the help of this boss named Li Kai. She wasn’t aware of the rest, but now that she heard Chu Yang’s words, there seemed to be something that she didn’t know.

“Haha, the story will have to start from that night,” Chu Yang told Tao Yan about how he met Li Kai, and how Li Kai invited him to the club, which enabled him to then meet Tao Yan.

“Haha, then that means that if you didn’t go out on a drive that day, Big Brother Li Kai wouldn’t have invited you to the club, and the two of us might not have gotten to know each other,” Tao Yan said to Chu Yang while laughing.

“That’s right. So let’s go and see this racing event organized by Big Brother Li Kai.”

With this, Chu Yang brought Tao Yan to the location that Li Kai had just sent him.

Fortunately, the distance was not too far. After about 20 minutes, Chu Yang arrived at the venue of the racing event. At this time, the venue was already surrounded by many luxury cars.

However, most of them were only entry-level sports cars. After Chu Yang found a parking spot, he got out of the car with Tao Yan.

Just as Chu Yang got out of the car, a young man walked towards him.

“Brother, this car of yours is not bad. It’s a limited edition LaFerrari,” When the young man walked to the front of Chu Yang, he looked at Chu Yang’s LaFerrari with envy in his eyes.

“It’s just so-so,” When Chu Yang heard this, he felt pleased, but still only calm.

“Then how about selling this car to me? Don’t worry, the price I can offer won’t make you suffer a loss.” After hearing Chu Yang’s words, the young man did not leave. Instead, he continued speaking to Chu Yang.

“I’m sorry, I have no intentions of selling this car. I like it very much.” Upon hearing that the young man wanted to buy his car, Chu Yang’s expression and tone instantly turned cold.

“That’s true. If I had this car, I wouldn’t have sold it to anyone else too. Looks like you’re also someone who loves cars,” Not only was the young man not angry after hearing Chu Yang’s reply, he even nodded with full agreement.

When Chu Yang heard the young man’s words, a trace of surprise flashed across his face. He had thought that this young man wanted to forcefully buy his car, but he did not expect the outcome to be like this.

It seemed that reality was not like fiction, where the silver-spooned kids would always use their money and power to oppress others.

This was more like it. After all, the reason why the silver-spooned kids are called that, was because they had powerful parents. How could someone who had gained wealth from scratch teach their children to be stupid like those silver-spooned kids written in the novels?

“Haha, it seems that you love cars too, brother. Why don’t you drive my car around for a few rounds during the car racing event later?” Hearing the young man speaking in such a polite tone, Chu Yang was no longer as cold as before. Instead, he gave such a suggestion to the young man.

“Haha, brother, are you really willing to lend me your car for a couple of laps?” When the young man heard Chu Yang’s words, his face lit up with delight as he asked Chu Yang.

“Isn’t it just a couple of laps? When the event starts later, go take my car for a few laps and just return it to me after the event ends,” Seering the young man’s happy expression, Chu Yang said to him with a smile.

“Haha, as expected, you are a forthright person. From today onwards, you’re my friend. I’m Li Yuan,” The young man laughed happily and introduced himself to Chu Yang.

“Young Master Li, you’ve made new friends again?” As soon as the young man finished speaking, a voice came from afar. Li Kai led a group of people towards Chu Yang’s position.

“Big Brother Li Kai,” Seeing Li Kai walking towards him, Chu Yang greeted him.

“Haha, Brother Chu Yang, you’re finally here,” Upon seeing Chu Yang, Li Kai greeted him warmly as well. 

“Uncle, do you know each other?” Li Yuan was quite surprised as he stood at the side and watched as his uncle and this new friend of his talked enthusiastically.

“Uncle? Big Brother Li Kai, you two?” Chu Yang was also surprised by the relationship between Li Kai and Li Yuan after hearing Li Yuan’s words. 

“Haha, Brother Chu Yang, let me introduce you. This is my nephew, Li Yuan. He heard that I have a racing event here today, so he came here to take a look.”

“I wanted to introduce him to you. After all, you young people should have more in common, but I didn’t expect you to meet him in advance. This can be considered fate,” Li Kai saw that Chu Yang was looking at him with some confusion. He pulled Li Yuan, who was standing at the side, over and explained to Chu Yang with a smile.

“But Uncle, you call him Brother. How should I address him then?” Li Yuan was originally very happy that he had met a new good friend today, but after hearing his uncle’s words, he suddenly felt a little awkward.

“You brat, are you stupid? We’ll just call him what we want,” Li Kai was somewhat speechless.

“Haha, that’s right, Brother Li Yuan, just address me as you like,” Chu Yang also smiled and said to Li Yuan.

“Then I’ll call you Chu Yang. We’re about the same age anyway. You can call me Li Yuan,” Li Yuan came to his senses.

“Oh right, Brother Li Kai, let me introduce her to you. This is my woman, Tao Yan,” After Chu Yang agreed to Li Yuan’s suggestion, he pointed to Tao Yan and introduced her to Li Kai.

“Tao Yan. Oh, I remember now. It’s that woman from that night, right? Haha, Brother, you’re really a loyal person.”

Li Kai was puzzled for a moment when heard Tao Yan’s name before he remembered who she was and thus praised Chu Yang.

After Chu Yang heard Li Kai’s words, he only smiled at Li Kai and did not continue discussing this topic. He felt that talking about Tao Yan’s past in front of others would make her feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Tao Yan, who was standing next to Chu Yang, was filled with joy when she heard Chu Yang formally introduce her to Li Kai.

“Alright, the event is about to begin. Let’s hurry in,” Li Kai said to Chu Yang after some chit-chat. Then, the group of people walked into the racetrack.

After they entered the racetrack, they found it was filled with people, most of them young. These people wore different clothes and gathered together to chat and brag. The scene was very lively.

Some would even warmly greet Li Kai when they saw him walking over.

“Brother Chu Yang, your seats are over here. Take a rest here. The competition will start in a while. This is the best seat. I’ll be at the rostrum over there,” After Li Kai led Chu Yang and the others to a spacious grandstand, he said to Chu Yang with a smile before walking over to the rostrum.

After watching Li Kai leave, Chu Yang found a place to sit on the grandstand and took out his cell phone, planning to play some Texas Holdem. He was only lacking some EXP to advance to level three in his Texas Holdem game.

After Chu Yang played two rounds of Texas Holdem, the host came to the center of the venue and announced the start of the car race.

“Welcome to the Haoyu City Joint Car Racing Event. Today, different supercars from all over the country are gathered here to give a luxurious visual feast to the car fans present. In today’s car racing event, the audience will see many supercars that are rarely seen, gathered together and competing against each other. Next, let’s welcome the organizer of this event, the head of Haoyu City’s Mad God Club, Li Kai, to give a speech.”

As soon as the host finished speaking, Chu Yang saw Li Kai walk to the center of the venue..
