Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Racing Team Captain

"Mr. Chen, there is a car racing event in the capital these days, if you're interested, our Huang Family's team could let you have some fun!"

At this moment, Huang Daolun completely lacked the arrogance one would expect from a big shot, appearing almost like Chen Yu's underling.

"I'm just helping my father-in-law run his business; my interest in car racing isn't that great."

But Huang Daolun didn't care about that and directly put his hand on Chen Yu's shoulder.

"At our level, car racing is just a business, and as for the racetrack, it's even more a networking place. Tomorrow morning at eight, at Sanxiang Hill Extreme Racing, all of us old guys will be there. We'd be honored if Mr. Chen would grace us with his presence."

Chen Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable, no matter how one looked at it, Huang Daolun was an elder, but he was speaking to Chen Yu as though they were peers.

"All right, I'll definitely be there tomorrow."

After agreeing, Chen Yu left in a hurry.

The Dragon Hill Warehouse in the capital.

When Chen Yu arrived there, he was shocked by the scene in front of him; there were no fewer than fifty racing cars on the open ground outside the warehouse.

Each car had been modified and even equipped with special engines.

More than twenty drivers were there, testing the performance of the cars.

When these drivers saw Chen Yu, they were all taken aback, and two even stepped forward to tease him.

"Kid, where are you from? Do you know what this place is? Just barging in here, better leave right now."

"This lad looks pretty fit, isn't thinking about joining our team, is he? Too bad we're not recruiting now, and even if we were, you'd have to beat at least half of our drivers first."

...

Chen Yu frowned, it seemed these people didn't recognize him.

"Beat half of your drivers and I can join the team, is that right?"

As soon as he said this, the many drivers present were all momentarily stunned.

A man who looked like the team captain came forward with a serious expression.

"Kid, do you realize that you have to stand by such bold words?"

Chen Yu leaned against a car, adopting an indifferent demeanor.

"Since I've said it, of course, I'll stand by it. So, who will race me now?"

The laughter from before came to an abrupt halt, and the captain went so far as to take out his business card.

"My name is Lin Zhifei, I'm the captain of this team. Since you want to join, you'll have to beat me first."

Chen Yu was surprised and took a careful look at the man before him.

He had heard of Lin Zhifei when he was in university; back then, Lin Zhifei was a world-renowned young racing driver.

Even now, he was a legend, said to have won the Grand Slam in all the racing competitions.

He had not expected to find him working under Tong Ming as a team captain.

"Fine, let's start then!"

After Chen Yu agreed, he immediately had the system analyze all the vehicles present.

Since it was his first time participating in such a race, he at least had to choose a decent car.

As he was selecting, Lin Zhifei suddenly brought out a contract and presented it before him.

"If you want to race me, you need to have your own car. If you don't have one, you can rent one from us, but you'll need to pay a deposit!"

Chen Yu hadn't expected this rule and he subconsciously looked around, noticing that all the cars bore the Tong Family's emblem, which meant that all these cars were provided by the Tong Group.

It seemed that Lin Zhifei was clearly applying pressure on him, hoping to use the excuse of not having enough for the deposit to drive him away.

"Alright then!" Chen Yu gave a slight smile and took out a promissory note from his person, laying it on the roof of the car.

"This money should be enough to buy a race car, right?"

The drivers present gaped at the ten-million face value of the promissory note.

All racing cars are basically custom-built, the cheapest being around one to several million, while the more expensive ones can cost seven to eight million. As for the top-tier racing cars worth tens of millions, they are standard issue for international competitions.

With this money, not to mention renting a car, even buying a top-spec racing car would be more than enough.

Lin Zhifei frown deepened, "Are you sure about this? We are all professional racers, no matter who you compete with, your chances of winning are not great."

Chen Yu walked straight up to a race car and touched its roof.

"I'll choose this one! Besides, that track up on the mountain seems to be the toughest one here, right?"

Lin Zhifei's pupils abruptly dilated, "Do you know that track is a one-to-one recreation of the extreme Bayinbrook race track? Some parts have even been upgraded. Many professionals can't even complete the whole course, and you actually want to race me there."

The drivers nearby were initially stunned, then burst into laughter.

"This kid must be joking, even our captain can only barely run that route!"

"This guy is clearly a greenhorn, to think he can tackle that road is simply overestimating himself."

"Race with him and let this kid understand what top-level racing competition is about!"

...

Chen Yu paid them no mind and got into the car on his own, suiting up in his protective gear.

Lin Zhifei let out a cold snort and also got into his own car.

The entire track has over four thousand sharp turns, and more than three thousand elevation changes.

Even top-tier racers, without a spotter, would be unable to complete such a circuit alone.

Lin Zhifei pulled up the electronic image on his car's system, intending to call a team member over to be his spotter.

But unexpectedly, Chen Yu simply held up five fingers towards him, then immediately started his car.

Lin Zhifei's eyes went wide with shock; he hadn't expected Chen Yu to just drive off like that.

He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, quickly started his car, and gave chase.

At the finish line.

All the drivers were anxiously waiting there, looking forward eagerly.

Just then, a car steadily stopped in front of them.

Everyone glanced at the license plate, and they were immediately taken aback.

They had all thought that Lin Zhifei would be the first to reach the finish, but to their surprise, it was Chen Yu who arrived first. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After bringing the car to a steady stop, Chen Yu went straight to sit by the roadside.

"Looks like I've won! According to our previous agreement, I am now a member of your team, and after joining, I want to be the captain."

The group of drivers sighed helplessly; managing to complete this course was enough qualification to be their captain.

Just as they were talking, a sudden explosion thundered halfway through the race.

"Oh no, that looks like it's the captain's car!"

Someone shouted, and everyone's gaze converged there.

Chen Yu furrowed his brows too; after all, Lin Zhifei was a top-tier racer. Even if he couldn't beat him, at least he should be able to complete the course safely, without flipping the car!
