Chapter 47: If You Intend to Give a Racing Car, You Should Just Give an Expensive One Instead
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The racing club He Fei mentioned was called ‘Extreme’.
When they arrived at the entrance, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie strode towards them in a welcoming manner.
“Fourth Young Master He, Young Master Ouyang, and the two young ladies, welcome. Please come inside.”
He Fei introduced Zi Yi to the manager. “This is Chen Tong, the manager here and you can just directly tell him if you need anything. He can get you anything.”
Chen Tong smiled modestly from the praise. “I cannot take all the credit. It’s because Extreme has a large influence.”
“Haha…” He Fei really did not have the air of a young master. He put his arm on Chen Tong’s shoulders and said, “Bring us to view the supercars here with the best specs1. As long as you can cause Little Yiyi to take a fancy to any of the cars, I’ll buy you a drink.”
Before Chen Tong could respond, Ouyang Ming could no longer stand it and said, “Say, isn’t that enough? This is not the way to chase someone. If you intend to give a racing car, you should just give an expensive one instead.”
Yet, you’re just asking for the one with the best specs? Wasn’t that a waste of an opportunity?
He Fei glanced at Ouyang Ming. He thought back to Zi Yi’s professionalism in racing and he merely said one sentence to him, “You don’t understand.”
“Tsk…”
Ouyang Ming wanted to respond, but Zi Yi looked in his direction and asked Chen Tong several questions, “What’s the maximum horsepower of the racing cars here? Are there any parts that can be replaced?
What is the tyre material? Also, what is the greatest heat and pressure endurance it can withstand in terms of friction?
What about its highest speed per 100 kilometers…?”
…
He Fei looked at Ouyang Ming’s expression, his mouth widened in disbelief. He proudly said, “Did you hear that? That’s called being a professional.”
Ouyang Ming was still skeptical. “These are all questions that a person who spends a little time researching cars can ask.”
“Young Master Ouyang is correct.” Zi Lian finally found an opportunity to interrupt. When the two men looked in her direction, she revealed a gentle smile and said, “Yiyi’s biggest hobby is to play with racing cars. My uncle and aunt have spoiled her and she can purchase any car she wants. Therefore, she is rather familiar with cars.”
“Your sister used to participate in races?” After Ouyang Ming raised the question, he subconsciously looked at Zi Yi who was conversing with Chen Tong. “I didn’t expect that from her.”
Zi Lian smiled and acted casually as she said, “Nah, Yiyi is only fond of the racing cars themselves and likes watching races. She would always invite racers to race on her behalf, when she raced with others.”
“Oh?” Ouyang Ming smirked and meaningfully said, “Your sister does indeed know how to enjoy life.”
He looked at He Fei and then deliberately asked Zi Lian, “Then does your sister like betting with others?”
Zi Yi, who was in a conversation with Chen Tong, looked in their direction before turning back and saying, “Bring me to check out the cars you mentioned. I’ll take them for a test drive.”
Manager Chen subconsciously glanced at He Fei before he nodded. “Miss Zi, please follow me.”
He Fei’s attention was on Zi Yi the entire time. When he saw her leaving, he hastily followed her.
Ouyang Ming was also about to follow when Zi Lian whispered to him, “To be honest, Yiyi does not dare to drive a racing car. I wonder why she buys so many cars?”
Ouyang Ming stopped in his tracks and looked at her.
Zi Lian acted as if she was annoyed because she had accidentally misspoken. “Young Master Ouyang, what I said was nonsense, Please don’t take it seriously. They have already left. We should go too.”
After she said that, she walked towards He Fei’s direction.
Ouyang Ming stood rooted to the same spot and stroked his chin as a glint streaked across his eyes.Colloquial term for specifications. It’s used when talking about machines or equipment.
