This sudden task that appeared is undoubtedly extremely difficult. If Du Mingjun, the car king, has the impressive resume that those people say he does, Zhang Qiu really doesn’t have much confidence.

After all, his provincial-level driving skills have yet to be verified. On the other hand, the opponent has already built a reputation through one race after another.

Moreover, even if he gains confidence, convincing others, especially a girl named Lin Jing, remains a significant challenge.

“I didn’t expect to have such good luck today, actually getting to see the car king’s race. I wonder what kind of helper Miss Lin will invite!” Wang Quanbin seemed to be talking to himself, but also to Zhang Qiu.

On the other side, Lin Jing had already walked to a corner and started making a phone call alone, even her friends didn’t dare to disturb her.

However, Zhang Qiu could clearly see that her expression was becoming increasingly anxious and disappointed. In the end, she even looked somewhat disheartened, becoming dejected.

Zhang Qiu knew that she must have encountered difficulties and failed to find a suitable helper to assist her in the race.

After finishing her call, Lin Jing approached the crowd and said, “Who has the confidence to help me win this race? I’ll give this car to him!” As she spoke, she pointed to a red Maserati.

“Wow! A luxury car worth over three million just for winning a race! This is like buying a horse with a thousand pieces of gold, isn’t it?”

“Indeed, it’s like buying a horse with a thousand pieces of gold, but it’s not easy to get such a good car! The opponent is the car king of Jiangnan, who even has a chance to become the national car king.”

“The difficulty is not just a little! Those without the ability, even if they have confidence, had better not take it on! Winning is naturally good, but if they lose, Miss Lin will probably hate them to death!”

“Not that bad, right? Losing just means calling someone sister, right?”

“Ha! For you, calling someone sister is probably a dream come true? But the conflict between Miss Lin and Miss Li has a long history! They grew up in the same courtyard, but unfortunately, they don’t get along and have always been fierce rivals.”

“It would be better to just cut ties!”

“What do you know? They are all from that circle, that level of people, where you can’t avoid seeing each other! Even if they cut ties, they still have to see each other! Besides, the elders of both families have a good relationship! They might even have to pretend to be harmonious and loving sisters in front of their parents!”

“Indeed! Although our families have some money, we can’t compare to the Lin and Li families.”

Zhang Qiu, with his insight, gathered all these whispers and collected the information he wanted.

Lin Jing asked several times, but no one responded, and she couldn’t help but feel very disappointed.

This made Li Jiamin even more pleased: “Haha! Lin Jing, you’re out of options, right? This is an overwhelming advantage! With Du Mingjun around, who would dare to help you?”

“Don’t be so smug! Humph!” Lin Jing said, then walked towards the villa where the quiet wine party was being held.

Li Jiamin looked at Lin Jing’s departing back with satisfaction, then started chatting with the car king Du Mingjun.

Zhang Qiu watched Lin Jing leave and said to Wang Quanbin, “I’ll go check out that quiet wine party.”

“Go ahead!” Wang Quanbin said, as if they were really good friends.

That big brother had already gone to arrange the car race, and the expected large crowd needed to be managed, the betting odds needed to be studied, and how to maximize the benefits for the race venue needed to be quickly decided.

So, Wang Quanbin was left with only Young Master Ye. Seeing Zhang Qiu’s appearance, Young Master Ye said, “What’s up with that middle school student? Tell me about it.”

“Damn! He’s actually a rival in love!” Zhang Qiu couldn’t keep up the act anymore after going to the villa.

Young Master Ye said, “Damn, a rival in love and you’re still so polite? If it were me, I’d just get rid of him.”

“We are people with status, don’t do violent things for no reason.” Wang Quanbin said, “I originally wanted to bring him to see the luxury car party, make him feel inferior, and then have him back off on his own. But his heart is pretty strong, and now my plan seems to have failed.”

“I think you’re just too useless! It’s just a middle school student, why go through so much trouble? If you want to show off your wealth, you can just throw money at him to make him back off. You can even find someone to beat him up or even get rid of him, no problem! You’re being too soft, it’s too frustrating! You’re making the face of the rich second generation look bad!” Young Master Ye said.

“Stop talking nonsense! Let’s watch the car race! Before the car king starts, there will definitely be a few warm-up races. How about we run a few laps?” Wang Quanbin said.

Young Master Ye knew he was overstepping, after all, this was Wang Quanbin’s matter, and how he handled it was his business. Even if his approach was a bit silly and didn’t meet his standards for a rich second generation, Wang Quanbin was still a rich second generation, and he couldn’t make decisions for him.

So, Young Master Ye smiled and said, “Sure, let’s go! My driving skills have improved a lot recently, watch me crush you!”

“Wait, I’ll go get a car.” Wang Quanbin said, taking out his phone and making a call.

After the call was connected, Wang Quanbin asked, “How’s it going? Are the cars all tuned up?”

“They’re tuned up, and after repeated testing, the first three laps are guaranteed to be fine,” the person on the other end said.

Wang Quanbin nodded and said, “Good! Bring the car over, and you run a few laps with me first.”

...

Zhang Qiu followed Lin Jing to the quiet wine party. This place was undoubtedly much more upscale, giving off a feel like a wine party in a TV drama. But it was even more luxurious and refined, presenting a true sense of grandeur.

Compared to the previous noisy party that felt like an entertainment venue, this one was much quieter.

First, there were fewer people, and the music being played was classical and soothing. Some were dancing, and others were holding wine glasses and chatting.

There were many beautiful women and handsome men.

However, Lin Jing’s arrival didn’t attract much attention. Instead, Zhang Qiu, dressed in a cheap T-shirt and casual pants, was very eye-catching, drawing most of the attention as soon as he entered.

But everyone had good manners and didn’t come up to mock or cause trouble. They just looked curiously and then returned to their original activities, treating Zhang Qiu as if he were air.

Lin Jing took a glass of wine and sat in a corner of the sofa, drinking.

At this moment, Zhang Qiu felt an opportunity and, mimicking their behavior, picked up a glass of wine, looking quite elegant.

Zhang Qiu, with his insight skill, had greatly improved his vision and hearing. At the same time, his memory, which was enhanced to match his powerful vision and hearing, was also specifically reinforced.

This way, Zhang Qiu could not only observe and listen in great detail but also remember all the subtle information he saw and heard without any error. So, Zhang Qiu could grasp the key points at a glance and learn the elegant posture of holding a wine glass, immediately shedding his rustic appearance and becoming like a well-bred noble.

“Are you worried about the race? Maybe I can help you.” Zhang Qiu came to Lin Jing’s side and started chatting.

Lin Jing suddenly froze, only then realizing someone was talking to her. Before she could see the speaker clearly, she started to sneer.

When she saw that it was just a poorly dressed little boy, Lin Jing directly retorted, “Are you sure you understand what you’re saying?”

“Of course I do! The people you found don’t have the confidence to help you win that car god, and you certainly don’t either. But I have the confidence to help you win!” Zhang Qiu said. He spoke with such confidence, and his words were typical of a young and arrogant person.

However, Lin Jing didn’t instinctively reject or drive him away because of Zhang Qiu’s big talk but fell into deep thought.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Jing said, “Do you really have the confidence? I must win, but what if you can’t beat him?”

“If I can’t win, I’ll help you beat him after school!” Zhang Qiu said.

Lin Jing coldly replied, “This joke isn’t funny. Little brother, why don’t you go play somewhere else?”

“I’m not a little brother! I’m not joking! If you don’t mind, I’ll run a few laps, and you can decide after you see me. You don’t have any other options right now, do you?” Zhang Qiu said.

Lin Jing thought about it and found it reasonable, nodding.

Zhang Qiu immediately stood up and left without any lingering.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiu just left, and Lin Jing, after a moment of surprise, also got up and followed.

Zhang Qiu left the villa and, with his provincial-level insight, quickly found Wang Quanbin.

At this moment, Wang Quanbin was racing with Young Master Ye, having just completed one lap and returned to the finish line, which was also the starting point.

Young Master Ye had already been waiting for him before Wang Quanbin finished his lap.

Young Master Ye’s car was a Ferrari worth over five million, while Wang Quanbin’s was a Porsche worth over one million. Just by the cars, the difference was clear.

Unless there was a miraculous driving skill, the chances of winning were slim.

“Damn! Where did you get such an amazing car? If you say you bought it yourself, I won’t believe it! A two-million car is fine, but a car this expensive? Do your parents know?” Wang Quanbin said as soon as he got out of the car. At the same time, another person Zhang Qiu hadn’t seen before got out of the passenger seat, looking like Wang Quanbin’s bodyguard.

“Can’t I buy it? A new car is great! Don’t make excuses for your poor skills!” Young Master Ye said smugly. No matter what, winning always made people feel good.

At this moment, Wang Quanbin saw Zhang Qiu approaching and immediately pulled him over, saying, “Zhang Qiu, how’s your driving? This guy is just showing off, help me crush him!”

Young Master Ye looked at Zhang Qiu with interest and said, “Has this guy ever driven a car?”

Zhang Qiu ignored him and, after seeing Lin Jing come out of the villa, calmly said, “Sure! I’ll help you crush him!”

Then he asked Wang Quanbin, “Why did you change cars?”

“Racing wears out tires, and the R8 is also used for daily driving, so I changed to another one,” Wang Quanbin said, with a hint of showing off in his tone.

But Zhang Qiu naturally ignored it. Wang Quanbin’s attempt to show off his wealth to打击 him was just like a peacock spreading its feathers, a self-indulgent act.
