The richest man started out as a car rental company

Chapter 182 Goodbye Qiao Linlin

Fast forward to the weekend.

I have been collecting and releasing cars these days.

So far, eight or nine vehicles have been delivered to the villagers of Xieyang Island.

There is only about half a month left before the agreed delivery of more than 30 domestically produced trucks.

After confirming the data, Zhang Chi got up, changed clothes and washed up.

His schedule today is a bit tight, as he not only has to entertain Wu Rongfa and his party.

We also need to go to the Binhai Park to run a few more laps with Yuan Chao. Now that it has been confirmed that he is the navigator, we need more time to get used to each other.

After breakfast.

After waiting for about half an hour, I saw a tourist bus driving over from the county road.

There was a banner next to the bus: [Haisha Rongfa Real Estate Lijing New City Sales Office]

"Here I am, Huizi. I'll leave it to you to handle it."

"okay."

Chen Hui has been waiting for a long time. He is the first to come and the last to leave every day. Now the keys of the store are given to him for safekeeping.

After agreeing.

Chen Hui hurried over.

The bus was parked in the parking lot opposite. The middle-aged man in charge of guarding the gate was an uncle from the village who had a good relationship with Lao Zhang.

He had received the message long ago, and without waiting for the bus window to be lowered, he took the initiative to step forward and guide the driver to a parking space.

To facilitate getting off the bus, the parking spaces for buses and cars are not in the same area.

After parking the car.

A group of people got out of the car, and the one leading them was the sales manager whom I had met before in the sales office of Lijing New City.

Behind them was a group of young and beautiful real estate consultants, all dressed up beautifully and their perfume could be smelled from a distance.

"Wow, the environment here is nice. I didn't know there was such a beautiful place before."

"I think we went to the neighboring Duntou Village before, but there is really nothing fun there. Apart from fishing and catching seafood, the other facilities are very average."

"I only found out about this place after seeing someone promoting it on Douyin."

"Me too, especially the beach buggy, it's exciting just to watch."

A group of people gathered in groups of three or five, talking and chatting. The manager first met with Chen Hui and confirmed that there was no problem with today's schedule. Then he asked everyone to move around freely.

At this time, the career consultant who received Zhang Chi trotted over to Zhang Chi.

"Mr. Zhang, we meet again."

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome. I remember your name is Dong Qian, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, you have a very good memory."

Dong Qian looked flattering.

Zhang Chi chuckled, not being able to deal with such overly attentive opposite sex.

Fortunately, this girl was quite sensible. After saying hello, she found a reason to meet up with her colleagues.

Zhang Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I stood at the door of the store and counted them roughly. There are quite a lot of people in this sales office.

In addition to more than twenty property consultants, there are also some administrative and financial staff, totaling about thirty or forty people.

We must have lunch here. I don’t know if Chen Hui and Long Jianchuan have discussed it.

Zhang Chi thought about it and walked to Long Jianchuan’s food stall opposite.

"Uncle Jianchuan, so many people may have some dietary restrictions, so remember to communicate with their manager in advance."

Long Jianchuan and his wife were washing vegetables and preparing food. Hearing this, they smiled and said, "Don't worry, Huizi has already asked them. There are a few ethnic minorities who don't eat pork, and two who are allergic to seafood. I have made arrangements here, don't worry."

Zhang Chi nodded slightly, secretly thinking that Chen Hui was very thoughtful. He didn't even remind him to consider these details.

It seems that I can really relax when I leave the car rental to him.

At least in the future, similar docking work can be completely handed over to him.

Return to the store.

During this time, the sales manager came over to say hello to Zhang Chi and greeted their boss Wu Rong.

Zhang Chi made him a cup of tea and chatted with him for a while.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he handed the task of looking after the store to Gangzi, said goodbye to his mother, and drove directly to Haisha.

Speechless all the way.

It was almost noon when we arrived at the Seaside Park.

Zhang Chi parked the car and saw a particularly impressive legendary sports car next to it.

Shelby Cobra 427.

This car was the championship car used by Belgian legendary driver Jacky Ickx.

He won the Le Mans 1969 Hours Championship six times between 1982 and 6, and is considered an immortal legend on the Le Mans track.

In that era, this car was equipped with a Ford 5.0-liter eight-cylinder engine with a horsepower of over and could accelerate from to km/h in just five seconds.

You have to know that this was the acceleration from 70 to km/h in the s. The performance of this car was terrifying at that time.

Of course, it’s not easy even today.

The Shelby Cobra 427 has been a favorite of the wealthy for decades, and even some big-name movie stars and singers have a special liking for it.

It can often be seen in many European and American film and television works.

This also means that this antique car from decades ago can still be sold for an eight-digit price.

Even so, it is a product that is priced but not sold.

After taking a look at it, Zhang Chi shrugged without much interest. He still liked the current car model. This round front of the car really did not look beautiful.

Come to the second floor of the club.

Zhang Chi directly pushed open the door of the classroom where Yuan Chao usually took classes. Just as he was about to call Yuan Chao, he saw Qiao Linlin glaring at him with her arms folded across her chest.

Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "You, why are you here?"

Qiao Linlin snorted and said, "If I hadn't come, how would I know that you kicked me out?"

Zhang Chi looked at Yuan Chao who was sitting on the sofa with some embarrassment.

Yuan Chao gave Zhang Chi two dry laughs and spread his hands to indicate that there was nothing he could do.

Instead, a handsome guy sitting next to him said, "Sister Linlin, don't worry about who will be the navigator. I have something to ask the master."

He walked over, took the initiative to extend his hand, and said with a smile: "Hello, Master, I am Feng Tianci, and the Chevrolet Impala you repaired before is mine."

"Impala?"

Zhang Chi's expression changed. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was the second-generation rich man from Nanyue Province that Chen Bin mentioned.

You can tell that his relationship with Qiao Linlin and Yuan Chao is special.

Come to think of it, these top second-generation circles are actually very small, and many of them even marry each other or go to the same school and grow up together.

Judging from the feeling that Feng Tianci in front of him should be about the same age as Yuan Chao, maybe their fathers were comrades-in-arms.

In fact, Zhang Chi’s guess was absolutely correct.

Yuan Chao and Feng Tianci have been friends since kindergarten. They went to the same elementary school and junior high school. They were separated in high school because Yuan Chao's father was transferred.

But the relationship between the two families has always been good, and the old men of the two families even live in the same sanatorium in the old city.

Even though one is in Jiangxi Province and the other in Guangdong Province, there are many opportunities for the two to meet.

"Yes, I've driven that car, and I have to say, Master, your craftsmanship is definitely outstanding!"

Feng Tianci gave Zhang Chi a thumbs up.

Zhang Chi saw this and smiled, saying, "As long as there is no problem with the car, customer satisfaction is the greatest affirmation for us."

Zhang Chi's official polite words made both of them smile.

At this time, Qiao Linlin stepped forward and pushed Feng Tianci away. After glaring at him, she looked at Zhang Chi and said, "I don't care. We agreed that you can't change people casually." Zhang Chi was stunned and couldn't help but look at Yuan Chao.

Yuan Chao covered his forehead with his hands, looking helpless and speechless.

When Qiao Linlin got angry, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Even Feng Tianci, who was pulled apart, didn't dare to get angry. He just smiled dryly and looked at the two of them, wanting to see how Zhang Chi would deal with it.

He had suggested this to the two of them before, and it ultimately depends on Zhang Chi's choice.

However, Zhang Chi’s idea was not to offend either side.

Now facing Qiao Linlin's questioning, he frowned and asked, "Are you sure your family agrees with you participating in the competition?"

Qiao Linlin frowned slightly, pursed her lips and her expression kept changing for a while.

Seeing this, Yuan Chao added fuel to the fire and said, "Qiao Linlin, have you asked your cousin? Does he agree with your participation?"

"I……"

Qiao Linlin gritted her teeth and said, "It's none of your business. Anyway, I will be the navigator."

Seeing that she refused to give in, Zhang Chi shook his head helplessly.

Then he waved to Yuan Chao and said, "Let's go. I'm a bit busy today. Let's run a few more laps now. I have to go back in the afternoon."

"Oh, oh, I'll go change my clothes then."

Zhang Chi nodded, looked at Qiao Linlin, and said, "You should ask your family for their opinions first."

Qiao Linlin pouted, looking very unconvinced.

But she didn't refute it, probably because she knew that some things were impossible to do.

Zhang Chi smiled bitterly and shook his head, then changed into a racing suit.

Come to the garage.

Zhang Chi chose a Mitsubishi with performance similar to the one modified by Old Man Chen.

Just as he was about to get in the car, he saw Feng Tianci approaching and saying, "Master, can I run with you?"

Zhang Chi glanced at him and nodded indifferently.

Seeing this, Feng Tianci was delighted. He asked the staff to get him a car, and then he ran to change his clothes.

Not long after.

Two cars stopped at the starting line.

Zhang Chi glanced at Feng Tianci who was eager to try in the car next door, and nodded at him with a smile.

Then, he stepped on the accelerator the moment the green light came on.

There was a roar.

At the same time, Yuan Chao's voice reporting the route rang in my ears. The two of them had been working together for several days, and Yuan Chao's pace was getting faster and faster.

Zhang Chi tried his best to drive according to his road book, and even closed his eyes deliberately on some tracks that were not very dangerous.

Rely on Yuan Chao's road book to control the car forward.

If these operations were seen by top professional racing drivers, they would probably exclaim how awesome it is.

But these are just the daily lives of Zhang Chi and Yuan Chao.

You have to know that there will be a gravel and dirt road during next year's race, and it will be so dusty that you won't be able to see the road.

That situation is no different from being blind, and the racing driver can only steer the vehicle based on the navigator's road book.

Otherwise, if the car loses control at such a high speed, an accident will inevitably occur.

It is almost two consecutive bends behind Zhangchi.

Feng Tianci drove closely behind with a shocked look on his face.

As he was driving, he became autistic.

Originally, I wanted to show off my driving skills and impress Zhang Chi.

But he didn't expect that the driving skills of the top domestic racing driver were so poor. Before the first lap was over, he was already nearly 13 seconds behind.

And there is a load in the Zhangchi car.

"Amazing, really amazing, worthy of being a master who can beat top racers!"

Although Feng Tianci was surprised at Zhang Chi's driving skills, there was no sign of discouragement on his face except shock.

Instead, he became more and more excited, with a wicked smile on his face that only appeared when he was seeking excitement.

Soon the first lap was over.

Zhang Chi took 3 minutes and 11 seconds, while Feng Tianci was 44 seconds behind and took nearly 4 minutes.

Don't underestimate these short 44 seconds. For a racing-level modified car, 44 seconds is enough to cover a distance of nearly two kilometers.

Of course, what we are talking about here is the speed of the vehicle at its maximum speed.

"Master, I am truly convinced!"

As soon as Feng Tianci got out of the car, he walked over with admiration.

Zhang Chi was checking the various data on the track detector. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "You are also very good."

"Haha, Master, please stop comforting me. I know my own level. To be frank, it's not a big problem for me to participate in domestic Class A competitions. If I perform better, I can even win the championship. But compared to you, I am nothing. I can hardly see your taillights from behind me."

At this moment, the theoretical ideal route popped up on the big screen.

Among them, the route that Zhang Chi just took can be said to be infinitely close to the ideal route calculated by the system AI, and the overlapping part of the two lines is about 95%.

Feng Tianci's route was obviously a bit messy, and the coverage rate was a pitiful less than 70%.

Logically speaking, such controllability can be called terrifying.

Unfortunately, he met an opponent today who refused to defeat him.

Just as the three of them were analyzing the data on the big screen.

I don't know when Qiao Linlin changed her clothes and came over.

She has a flat chest, and after putting on this tight racing suit, if it weren't for her face, one would have thought she was a skinny boy.

"It's my turn now!"

Qiao Linlin looked at Zhang Chi, her eyes full of resentment and grievance.

Zhang Chi originally wanted to work with Yuan Chao for a few more rounds, but seeing this, he couldn't bear to refuse.

After hesitating for a moment.

Finally, he nodded 'indulgently' and motioned Qiao Linlin to get in the car.

At the same time, he gave Yuan Chao a subtle look, asking him to quickly call Qiao Linlin's eldest brother, or call her parents if that didn't work.

Yuan Chao smiled bitterly when he saw this.

He dared to tell tales, but he was also afraid that once his family knew his plan, they would stop him halfway and forbid him from participating in the competition.

Don't let it happen that Zhang Chi can't go to France, that would be a sin.

The situation is basically similar to Qiao Linlin's.

Qiao Linlin has an older brother whom people dare not look at unexpectedly.

The same goes for Yuan Chao.

Let’s not talk about others, just Yuan Chao’s father who was a general.

If he knew that Yuan Chao was actually participating in a car race, he would probably rush over to stop him.

There is more or less some pressure from being a parent and an older sibling.

With the idea of ​​being prepared for the worst, he felt that he needed to go to the city.

Meet the old man and Qiao Linlin's grandmother, who is also his grandmother.

He must also demonstrate his passion for the profession of navigator through the recognition and support of his elders and others.

As for Qiao Linlin?
Yuan Chao knew very well that her elder brother would definitely, no, absolutely would not let her participate in the competition.
