Chapter 46

Listen, all the friends who have walked by and read this: give me a vote!

Since the book was released, Old Qiu hasn't asked for votes. But now the new book chart is about to expire, and if I don't ask for votes to boost the ranking, there won't be a chance anymore.

There are over a thousand brothers who have collected this book. With over a thousand of us, if each person gives one vote, that's over a thousand votes! Enough to dominate!

Today, Old Qiu solemnly asks for your votes. I hope all the brothers who find my book appealing will support me with some votes. Free recommendation votes will do!

Of course, if there are evaluation votes or rewards, I'll gladly accept them. Thank you all in advance, I'm counting on your support!

Upon entering the hall, it was a cocktail party. The men and women inside were not much different from those in the nightclubs and discotheques seen on TV, and it didn't seem like a party for the wealthy at all.

Seeing Zhang Qiu frown, Mr. Wang smiled and said, "This is a wild party. There's another quieter party over there. If you don't like the noise, I can take you there. There will be a car race soon, where you can place bets or participate."

"Okay," Zhang Qiu nodded. He indeed didn't like noisy places. Moreover, such noisy entertainment venues gave him the impression of chaos. Although there were many beautiful women, he subconsciously felt they weren't really feminine.

Zhang Qiu was still a pure and innocent high school boy, and he still had illusions about beautiful women. Therefore, he didn't want to meet so-called beauties in such a place.

Furthermore, if the Beauty Finder detected a beauty, it would issue a task. If he had to do a task for a woman he didn't like, it would undoubtedly be a torment. So, he tried to avoid it if possible.

Moreover, the Beauty Finder hadn't even detected any beauties yet, indicating that the women dancing wildly here, though seemingly bright, were not true beauties. They were probably just heavily made up, or even worse.

Although Zhang Qiu wasn't there for the beauties, the characteristics of the Beauty Finder meant he had to consider such matters.

Just as Zhang Qiu was about to leave, someone called out from behind, "Isn't this Quanbin? Why are you leaving when you see me?"

Mr. Wang, hearing this, quickly turned around and smiled, "No such thing, Big Brother, don't accuse me! Today I brought a friend to play. He doesn't like the noise, so I was going to take him to the other place." It turned out his name was Wang Quanbin.

"Alright, that's fine! I was also planning to go there. These guys are all crazy, drinking and making a fuss. I'm going to run a few laps soon, I can't handle it!" The man walked over, followed by a few others who seemed to be around the same age and had a similar demeanor to Mr. Wang, not quite like followers but also not quite different.

They were probably a small circle of friends, with this guy as the leader.

Zhang Qiu also observed this guy, who looked to be in his thirties, well-built, and not showing any signs of middle-aged spread.

"How about it, Wang's friend, don't you want to introduce him?" a young man said.

"Heh. This is Zhang Qiu, a high school student," Wang Quanbin said. "Zhang Qiu, let me introduce you to some important people. This is one of the founders of the supercar club, we call him Big Brother, you can call him that too."

"This is Ye Shao!" Wang Quanbin pointed to the young man who had spoken.

He then introduced a few others, all of whom were "young masters," mostly second-generation rich. Zhang Qiu wasn't interested and paid no attention to them.

The others, hearing Wang Quanbin's introduction of Zhang Qiu, understood there was more to it. Introducing someone as a "high school student" wasn't very friendly. They could infer that the two probably didn't get along well.

It was still Ye Shao who asked with a smile, "Whose child is this? From the look of it, he doesn't seem to be someone you know?"

"Heh! It's all because of He Qing. Don't underestimate him; he's a technical genius who even the experts at the Cyber Security Bureau admire. He Qing has a high opinion of him. So, I'm trying to curry favor and see if I can get some information, like her interests and hobbies!"

"Ah, the cold beauty He Qing. You'll have to put in a lot of effort. Ice Queen isn't easy to handle!" Ye Shao said. It was clear that he and Wang Quanbin were very familiar, and he also knew about He Qing.

At this moment, Zhang Qiu suddenly received a system notification: "30 meters to the left front, found a beauty (provincial level). 30 meters to the left front, found a beauty (quasi-provincial level)."

Two high-level beauties appeared at once, which made Zhang Qiu somewhat excited. The discovery of new beauties not only meant meeting new beauties but also new tasks and skills.

For him, the beauties were secondary; the tasks and skills were more important. Only by acquiring skills could he stand on his own. Only skills could help him turn the tables. Otherwise, even if he met a beauty and got her WeChat, could he really get a date?

If that were the case, the "cold and noble" goddesses on the internet wouldn't exist. When a loser contacted a goddess's QQ, they would only get a cold and noble "hehe."

Zhang Qiu understood this reality. Although he had illusions, he knew what was fundamental and most important.

So, he didn't care about what these men were talking about and said, "You guys catch up! I'll go for a walk first!"

Saying this, Zhang Qiu turned to the left front, where another crowd had gathered, though it wasn't the location of another party.

This place was clearly a leisure square, but it didn't have a leisurely atmosphere. Instead, it was filled with onlookers and tension.

From a distance, Zhang Qiu could hear two girls arguing and the onlookers cheering them on.

"Lin Jing, are you scared? Do you dare to bet?" a clear and slightly fierce female voice said.

The onlookers immediately cheered, "Place the bet! Place the bet!"

The girl called Lin Jing, sounding somewhat refined, said angrily, "Bet I will! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

This Lin Jing, though clearly angry, still lacked the confidence to back it up.

Zhang Qiu, through the gaps in the crowd, saw the two girls arguing. They were indeed very beautiful, and he deduced that the two beauties the system had detected were them.

However, possibly due to the environment or the fact that he had seen many beauties recently, his immunity had increased, and he didn't feel particularly amazed.

"Heh heh! You're going to lose, Lin Jing!" the clear and slightly fierce female voice said, clearly pleased.

Lin Jing, however, was not convinced, "Just because of you, Li Jiamin?"

"Heh heh!" Li Jiamin chuckled, "I can't do it alone, but I've invited the King of Jiangnan's Cars, Du Mingjun!"

This statement immediately caused a stir.

"What? The King of Jiangnan's Cars, Du Mingjun?"

"My idol! I heard he's already unbeatable in the south and recently went to the capital to challenge the northern circle!"

"Indeed he did!"

"You have good sources, what was the result?"

"Seven wins in seven battles, now he's back with a big victory. But I haven't heard he's returned yet!"

"Is it just a bluff?"

"It shouldn't be! Since Miss Li invited him, he must have returned! The Li family has shares in all the major racing venues in Jiangnan. The King of Jiangnan's Cars, though a king, is still based in Jiangnan, so he would give face."

"Indeed! Besides, Miss Li is so beautiful, even heroes can't resist her charm!"

The onlookers chattered, and Miss Li became even more pleased. As for sacrificing her looks, she didn't care.

"So what if Du Mingjun is here? You can invite someone, but can't I?" Lin Jing said, though her tone was clearly weaker, showing a lack of confidence.

Du Mingjun, known as the King of Jiangnan's Cars, had unmatched skills. He had swept the south and was now challenging the north, winning seven out of seven battles. His return with a big victory made him a formidable opponent.

If he took it further, he would likely go international.

Such a figure participating in an amateur car race in Suxian City was like a top student taking a primary school test, virtually invincible.

Li Jiamin had invited such a god, and Lin Jing, having already agreed, couldn't find someone to match him in such a short time.

"Heh heh! The race starts at ten. It's 9:47 now, you still have time to find someone. Ha ha!" Li Jiamin said, clearly pleased.

Only thirteen minutes left, so urgent, where would she find someone? This was clearly a setup to make her look foolish.

Just then, Wang Quanbin, Ye Shao, and the Big Brother and his group also arrived.

"Jing girl, Min girl! What are you up to now?" the Big Brother asked as soon as he arrived. From his address, it was clear he was familiar with both girls.

"Nothing much, just a bet with Lin Jing. The loser has to call the winner 'sister' and show respect all the time," Li Jiamin said.

"You've had many such bets, haven't you? I remember the last two were draws. You haven't decided yet?" the Big Brother said.

"The previous draws were just her luck! This is the last time. I'm going to win, and she has no chance to turn it around!" Li Jiamin said confidently.

At this moment, someone in the crowd said, "Du Mingjun is here! The King of Cars is here!"

The crowd parted, and a man in a professional racing suit, holding a helmet in one hand, walked out of a Ferrari and approached the two girls.

"Seems I made it just in time. It's almost ten, where is my opponent?" Du Mingjun said, his words full of confidence, as if he was just going through the motions.

"Lin Jing probably doesn't even know who to invite! I think you should just admit defeat, Lin Jing!" Li Jiamin said.

"Hey, Min girl, that's too unfair! I didn't even know about the King of Cars' arrival! How can Lin Jing compete?" the Big Brother said.

"How about this, the King of Cars' presence is an honor for my venue and the Suxian circle! There are too few people here, it's not grand enough! Such a big event should be shared with friends. Let's delay the start to 11:30, giving everyone time to invite friends." The Big Brother's words clearly showed he was trying to help Lin Jing.

"Big Brother! You're clearly favoring her!" Li Jiamin said, clearly displeased.

However, the Big Brother had a lot of authority, and his words made sense. A race with the King of Cars was a must-see for car enthusiasts, so they should invite friends to watch. Everyone agreed, and Du Mingjun said, "If that's the case, let's start at 11:30. In the meantime, everyone can play around! I'll rest and place a bet for fun."

Thus, it was decided. Zhang Qiu had been watching from the side, unnoticed by anyone except Wang Quanbin.

At this moment, Zhang Qiu received a task: "Trigger Lin Jing's main quest (acquaintance): Make a Good Impression. Use your driving skills to help Lin Jing win, making her recognize you and impress everyone. Task difficulty (hard). Reward: National-level Driving Proficiency."
