Chapter 315: Someone Helps
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
LY Training Base.
Accompanied by the deafening roar of the engine, the red race car was the first to cross the finish line!
Ji Shu poked Gu Siyang, who was already dumbfounded by the scene.
“Hey, wake up.”
Gu Siyang was still immersed in the huge impact. His heart was extremely excited, and his blood seemed to be boiling as he muttered, “It’s... It’s too awesome!”
As one of the silent partners of LY, he had watched so many top racing events.
However, seeing Ning Li race in person today was still enough to shock him deeply!
Ning Li’s talent and level were far more shocking than he had expected!
Ji Shu was already used to it. He snorted and smoothed his hair down.
“That’s my Sister Li for you.”
As he said that, he walked over.
Ning Li got out of the car and took off her helmet.
Ji Shu gave her an enthusiastic smile and raised his eyebrows as he gave her a thumbs up.
Ron and the others arrived one after another. They also got out of the car and silently observed Ning Li.
Ji Shu turned his head and raised his chin at them. He grinned evilly:
“How was it? Did it feel good?”
‘Did it feel good to run?
‘Did it feel good to be beaten badly?’
He had already warned them, but they had not listened. They had insisted on making things difficult for themselves.
Tsk.
After a long while, one of them finally opened his mouth.
“...Ning Li, you... Did you hide your strength previously at Xiaosong Hill!?”
They had watched that video before. They had thought that was the extent of Ning Li’s level, but who knew...
Her talent was much more than that!
If they had known that she was already at this level, they would not have come together to be beaten this badly.
Ning Li calmly said, “It’s just for fun. Besides, supercars and professional racing cars are driven differently.”
Although the people at Xiaosong Hill drove well, they could not compare to professional racing drivers.
That day, she had only wanted to win a bet. Jiang Fan’s strength was only that much, so all she had needed to do was to put pressure on him.
Moreover, Lu Huaiyu had also been there–
She paused and suppressed the images in her mind.
The guys were speechless.
Playing around...
I think our understanding of playing around is a little different!?
Ron stared at Ning Li for a long time before he sighed.
“No wonder Ji Shu kept talking about you...”
He laughed.
“I’m impressed!”
Although he had lost, he was now completely convinced.
The others also nodded.
They were LY’s most valued and most outstanding racers, so they were somewhat arrogant.
However, when Ning Li had come, she had easily crushed them.
In this line of work, strength was everything. Ning Li’s ability on the track was enough to make them admire her.
“Ning Li, you’re so talented. Why haven’t you signed a contract yet?
Ron asked.
“Do you prefer FN? Or other clubs?”
Hearing this, Gu Siyang’s ears immediately perked up.
Ning Li shook her head.
“I still have to take the college entrance exam, so I don’t have time.”
Everyone was stunned.
After a long while, someone shakily asked,
“...College entrance exam!? How old are you this year!?”
“Seventeen.”
“...”
The corner of Ron’s eyes twitched. He finally understood what Ji Shu had meant when he had warned Ron that he might end up crying.
Seventeen...
College entrance exam...
What could be more insulting than this?
Ji Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled, mercilessly adding:
“Oh, you might not know this, but Sister Li is on a trip here at the Capital from Yunzhou to participate in the National Physics Competition training and prepare for the finals. Today was the end of their winter camp. I took advantage of her free time to invite her over.”
He walked over and patted their shoulders sympathetically.
“Look, what a rare opportunity. I, as your buddy, still fought for this opportunity for you guys. There’s no need to thank me, no need to thank me at all!”
The guys glared at Ji Shu as if they wanted to kill him.
Gu Siyang ran over excitedly, his eyes shining.
“I enjoyed watching the race today! In order to celebrate Ning Li’s win, it’s my treat! Order whatever you want to eat!”
As soon as he said this, the group of people immediately cheered.
Although very few people knew that he was the major shareholder of LY, Young Master Gu’s reputation was still very well-known.
Although Gu Siyang was not very talented in this area, his family was really rich. He was also really interested in racing, so his relationship with Ron and the others was very good.
Now that he had offered to treat everyone to a meal, everyone would, of course, not let go of this opportunity.
“Roast meat!”
“Hotpot!”
Gu Siyang looked at Ning Li.
“Ning Li, what would you like to eat?”
Ning Li had not been very interested at first, but after the race, the stuffy feeling in her chest had dissipated quite a bit.
Seeing how lively everyone was, she joined in their laughter.
“I’ll go with what you pick, guys. I’m fine with anything.”
Gu Siyang looked at his phone.
“I think it’s about time. Why don’t we head over there now?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ron’s phone rang.
However, not only his phone rang, but the other people’s phones as well.
“What’s the matter...”
Everyone, including Ji Shu, took out their phones to take a look.
When they saw the notification in the group chat, the group exploded.
“D*MN! Are you kidding me!? We have a training session at 7 pm tonight!?”
“Dad, it’s already 6 pm!”
“Son, your dad isn’t blind.”
“Get lost!”
They had their own WeChat group, which included the team leader and the others.
It went without saying who had sent this notification.
Gu Siyang stuck his head out:
“Eh? Then, are we still going out to eat?”
Ji Shu scoffed:
“It’s only an hour away, and that doesn’t even include the preparation time. What are we going to eat!? I can’t even eat in the cafeteria!”
Gu Siyang felt that it was a pity.
“Why don’t I... I go and communicate with your team leader?”
Ron put away his phone.
“This order isn’t from the team leader. It’s a direct order from Boss Yang.”
Boss Yang, the boss of LY: Yang Tao.
Gu Siyang was stunned.
“How did he–”
Just as he opened his mouth, he remembered that he was still just Young Master Gu, so he shut his mouth again.
Ning Li said, “If that’s the case, let’s do it another day then. It just so happens that it’s time for me to go back anyway.”
The guys were very regretful, but since the boss had personally spoken, they could only follow suit.
“Then Ning Li, let’s get together again when we have the time!”
Ning Li said goodbye to them.
Of course, Gu Siyang would go with her.
...
Gu Siyang sent Ning Li back to Shuiyuan Shijia.
Only after driving some distance away, he called Yang Tao and said lazily, “Hello? Brother Tao, what’s wrong with you today? I was going to invite Ji Shu and the others to have a meal, but you took them all away for a surprise training session?”
Yang Tao must have known that he would be at the LY Training Base today.
A smiling voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Siyang, don’t be angry. Something really did happen. The Farley Sports Department sent over a new batch of engines, which I was planning to let them try out.”
Gu Siyang sat up straighter.
“F*ck! Didn’t they refuse to sell it to us before?”
LY had its own independent chassis research and development department, but their engines had always been outsourced.
Farley’s engines were absolutely top-notch in the world. They were expensive, but at the same time, they only sold them in limited quantities.
They had been in negotiations with Farley’s people for a long time, but they had never come to an agreement yet.
Gu Siyang had not expected the matter to be settled today!
Yang Tao laughed.
“With some help, it’s naturally much simpler.”
