Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Inside the Competition

Chen Yu couldn't manage much and hurriedly drove back.

A group of drivers quickly stepped forward to block his way, and even two of them stood firmly in front of the car, refusing to let Chen Yu go back.

Driving in the right direction on this track was already very difficult, let alone driving back in reverse; the danger level would dramatically increase.

Now that Lin Zhifei had an accident, letting Chen Yu go back would only add another life for no purpose.

But Chen Yu didn't care; he swung into a drift and rushed onto the racetrack.

All the drivers were stunned and quickly contacted the helicopter rescue.

The track itself was built on a mountain road, and after Lin Zhifei's crash, his car rolled down the cliff.

After driving a certain distance, Chen Yu floored the gas pedal and leapt from the top of the mountain.

He controlled the car, jumping continuously on the cliff walls, and finally, incredibly, stopped steadily next to Lin Zhifei's burning car.

Lin Zhifei had activated the ejection mechanism when he fell, and at this moment, he was rolling on the ground not far away, but judging by his appearance, his bones were fractured all over.

Chen Yu sighed helplessly; he hadn't expected the former number one driver to end up like this.

If his injuries weren't treated promptly, they could leave lingering problems, or even prevent him from ever returning to the racetrack.

Chen Yu didn't care about the protocol and immediately set Lin Zhifei's bones.

After treating his wounds, the rescue helicopter also arrived at the scene.

The rescue personnel were shocked when they saw the bandages on Lin Zhifei. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Thank goodness it was in time, otherwise his entire skeleton could have been ruined."

"My God, this technique is so professional!"

...

While everyone was in awe, Chen Yu had already returned to the warehouse.

All the drivers looked at Chen Yu with a kind of reverence and didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

After all, Chen Yu had won, and Lin Zhifei was now considered their team leader, with the rest just needing to go through the motions to formalize it.

Just as they were ready to welcome the new leader, Chen Yu took out a document from his person and placed it on a car roof. Enjoy new stories from m-v l'e-NovelFire

"I'm not interested in being your team leader. I'm just here to manage the team for my father-in-law and to participate in tomorrow's race by the way."

All the drivers widened their eyes and quickly stepped forward to scrutinize the contract closely.

"Ah, so it's Young Master Chen!"

The drivers quickly came forward, eager to establish a connection with Chen Yu.

Moreover, they had been thoroughly impressed by Chen Yu's driving in the race just now.

The next morning at eight o'clock, Chen Yu arrived at the race venue.

Li Kaiquan, Huang Daolun, and other big names were already there early and even reserved a spot especially for Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, this way please!" Huang Daolun still greeted him with utmost respect.

But as soon as he called out "Mr. Chen," he startled the few big names beside him.

Huang Daolun was known for owning a chain of hotels in the capital and even had branches worldwide, his finances on par with Li Kaiquan.

The other big names didn't fuss much and went straight up to greet Chen Yu.

After all, if even Huang Daolun treated him with such respect, it was certainly correct for them to follow suit.

Chen Yu offered a few perfunctory replies before taking his seat next to Li Kaiquan and Huang Daolun.

"Mr. Chen, I wonder what insights you have on the business of racing?" Huang Daolun asked casually, passing over a cup of coffee.

"If I'm not mistaken, the greatest source of income from a race is the advertising within the venue."

Since entering, Chen Yu had noticed no less than a hundred billboards, along with a large number of mobile screens moving within the race track.

Almost every team would dispatch two cars specifically as advertising vehicles to carry advertisements.

Some were even from world-class industries.

Huang Daolun nodded his head, then took out a racing number from his clothing.

"Racing is not only a business but also a game in our circles! The source of advertising revenue is only about forty percent, with the most profit coming from betting."

Chen Yu could not help frowning as a succession of system prompts sounded in his mind, accompanied by a barrage of information flooding in.

During each race, several outstanding racers would be chosen and their racing numbers announced to the public.

Then, betting organizations would be set up outside, using the power of advertising to promote them and let the public guess who would ultimately win the championship.

This form would be distributed through various welfare organizations and lotteries, where ordinary people could participate for just two dollars.

But all the races and participants were prearranged, and they would decide the eventual winner based on the number of lottery tickets issued by the welfare organizations.

Chen Yu was suddenly filled with aversion, although this method was not against the rules and was perfectly legal, it violated ethics to a certain extent.

"I see!" Chen Yu replied nonchalantly, then the conversation dropped there.

At that moment, several racers' numbers were brought over.

The bigwigs, following their usual practice, immediately distributed these numbers and began to manipulate the race.

Unexpectedly, the racers who had been chosen for their numbers all suffered accidents, and Lin Zhifei couldn't race today either.

Suddenly, there was an uproar among the crowd. If the race could not go on, all their prior arrangements would have been in vain.

"Compared to doing business, I still prefer being a racer!"

Chen Yu suddenly stood up, walked off the stage on his own accord.

The onlookers' eyes widened in shock. Chen Yu's status was no ordinary matter, not to mention being Tong Ming's son-in-law; just the fact that he was a life-saving benefactor to Huang Luncai and Li Kaiquan was enough to make them flustered.

"Quick, get ready immediately, we must not let Mr. Chen encounter any accidents, give the advertisers a heads-up, just say the Tong Family's son-in-law is personally taking to the track!"

They were in a frenzy, immediately starting to arrange the site.

Chen Yu put on his gear, sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and sped out directly.

In fact, Chen Yu understood why Tong Ming wanted him to manage the racing team, it was to let him see how the big players in the Imperial Capital did business.

But he indeed couldn't conduct such business.

The income from his current factory wasn't low, and continued operation even held the potential for expansion.

At this stage, running the factory well was better than anything else.

Participating in a race here today was like managing a racing team once for Tong Ming; from now on, he would never meddle in this kind of business again.

Just as he was racing down the track like lightning, a car suddenly flew past him, crashing straight into the guardrail on the side of the road.

Then the cars behind followed in rapid succession, a dozen or so piling up in an instant, with several even emitting black smoke.
