Chapter 252: Chapter 251: Getting Familiar Once It Starts

Lu You: …

Chi Gui chuckled lightly and didn’t waste any words, looking directly at Lu You, “Lend me your racing car.”

Seeing that he couldn’t remedy the situation, Lu You could only sigh, “Don’t go too far…”

Gustav laughed, “Don’t worry, I don’t make things difficult for women!”

Lu You didn’t say anything more and handed over the car keys to Chi Gui.

Chi Gui took them, walked over to Lu You’s racing car, and just as he was about to get in, he suddenly spoke, “Your name is Gustav, right? Since this is a contest, shouldn’t there be a stake?”

Gustav: “What stake?”

Chi Gui’s slender fingers gently tapped on the roof of the car, “I won’t make it too difficult for you. If I win, your earnings from races for one year will go to me, how about that?”

Typically, renowned racers only make about twenty percent of their total income from races, the majority comes from various endorsements and live streaming income.

Chi Gui’s bet, although hefty, wasn’t excessive.

Gustav nodded, “Okay!”

Chi Gui, satisfied, got into the driver’s seat.

Kyle, a bit worried, walked over to ask, “Do you want to run a couple of laps to get used to the car?”

These professional racing cars are adjusted according to each driver’s preferences, and since Chi Gui had never driven Lu You’s racing car, Kyle was concerned she might not be accustomed to it.

Chi Gui shook her head, “No need, I’ll naturally get familiar as I drive.”

Hearing her say this, Gustav and the other racers exchanged glances and silently laughed.

From her statement alone, it was clear this woman was an amateur, unfamiliar with professional racing.

Manager Kael this time, probably really got duped by Lu You.

Only Fu Si and Lu You looked utterly calm, not worried at all.

Gustav also got into the car.

He glanced at the racing car beside him, a shadow crossing his eyes.

In fact, this contest wasn’t entirely about testing Chi Gui’s driving skills.

Gustav, being an internationally ranked 40 racer with some minor fame, initially wanted to join another coach, Maxi’s team.

But Kael’s team was short-staffed, so the club assigned him to Kael.

In the past two years, Kael’s team’s performance had declined, now almost solely reliant on Lu You and another racer.

And that racer had suffered a severe injury in this year’s races and was still in a coma, his career likely over even if he woke up.

As such, the coaches assigned to Kael’s team were only mediocre and couldn’t provide any useful advice to the racers.

It didn’t take much to realize that there wouldn’t be much progress or development in Kael’s team.

Gustav had ambitions and didn’t want to waste his racing career just like that.

Thus, before coming, Coach Maxi approached him, offering him a spot on his team on the condition that he sabotage Kael’s team training, which he didn’t outright refuse.

Gustav thought it through clearly, if Kael really could find a decent coach, then he would earnestly train with the team.

But now it seemed…

Gustav shook his head.

This team really wasn’t worth staying for.

He’d use this contest to let the other racers see how subpar this woman was, shake their confidence, and then report to Maxi.

After a brief preparation time, Lu You stood between the two cars, raising his hand to count down: “5! 4! 3! 2! 1! GO!”

With the last shout, both cars shot out like arrows released from their bows.

But just from the start, Chi Gui’s car was already more than two hundred meters behind Gustav.

Seeing this scene, the other racers couldn’t help but frown.

Lu You’s racing car configuration was the best among all, usually outdistancing the other racers by over two hundred meters at the start.

But now, it was the opposite.

For professional racers, just the start could indicate the outcome.

Kyle also felt alarmed, but seeing Lu You’s extremely grave expression, he couldn’t help but comfort him, “Don’t worry too much… Gustav knows what he’s doing, he won’t go overboard.”

Hearing him say that, Lu You glanced at him faintly, “You misunderstand. I’m worried that at the finish line, Gustav will be so crushed that it’ll affect his training afterward.”
