CHAPTER 482: CHAPTER 478 CHARITY RACING (FIRST UPDATE, SUBSCRIPTION REQUESTED)
Early the next morning, Ye Chen continued driving for DiDi.
He had just taken a few orders when he received a call from Tang Xiaofei.
"Ye Chen, your car has arrived."
"Oh, great, I’ll go pick it up."
Ye Chen went to the dealership and saw the new car.
Actually, Ye Chen already had quite a few cars, buying this one just to show off.
Tang Xiaofei saw Ye Chen and said with a smile, "Ye Chen, the car is here. I’ve already checked it for you, no problems."
After all, it was a sports car worth over five million, and Ye Chen bought it because of her, so she was very meticulous.
Ye Chen smiled, "No need, oh right, let me take you for a ride."
Tang Xiaofei said, "It’s so congested downtown now, where can we go for a ride?"
Ye Chen suddenly remembered a place that Yan Chuang had mentioned to him before.
"Yan Chuang, you mentioned a racetrack last time, right?"
"Yeah, that’s right, there’s a friendly race happening here. Brother Chen, are you interested in joining?"
"No problem." Ye Chen hung up the phone.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you racing."
"Huh? Racing?" Tang Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, but her face was full of joy.
Tang Xiaofei, although a girl, was also very interested in racing.
Upon arriving at the high-speed racetrack, Ye Chen saw there were a dozen people inside.
These people were all wearing international brand names, evidently local rich kids.
Yan Chuang was giving a briefing to a few people.
"Today, we called you all here to accompany Brother Chen racing. You have to take it easy and make sure Brother Chen has fun."
Ye Chen was speechless upon hearing this.
Yan Chuang, this guy, probably worried these people were too skilled and he might lose face if he lost pathetically.
Ye Chen stepped out and said with a smile, "Guys, don’t listen to this guy. Friendship comes first, competition second. Winning or losing doesn’t matter, just show your best skills."
Yan Chuang said, "Everyone, this is Brother Chen."
"Hello, Brother Chen." The rich kids bowed one after another.
Seeing this gesture, Tang Xiaofei was shocked; it felt a bit like the demeanor of a bigshot.
Ye Chen waved his hand, "No need to be so formal."
The group, due to Yan Chuang’s influence, treated Ye Chen with a lot of respect.
Upon entering the racetrack, Ye Chen was also somewhat amazed.
This was a Ferrari professional racetrack.
The venue was very luxurious, and all the facilities were complete.
However, such a place is not affordable for ordinary people, with a booking fee of a hundred thousand.
Only some rich kids spend their spare money here racing to kill time.
"Brother Chen, have fun with the Fifth Sis-in-law later." Yan Chuang whispered.
"Fifth Sis-in-law?" Ye Chen was taken aback.
Then fiercely kicked Yan Chuang in the butt, "Don’t talk nonsense."
If Tang Xiaofei heard that, she would surely think he’s a jerk.
Those rich kids, seeing Ye Chen dare to kick Yan Chuang’s butt, were all astounded.
Yan Chuang was like a tiger in their eyes.
You can’t touch a tiger’s butt, yet this guy dared to kick it.
This showed just how close Ye Chen and Yan Chuang were.
Some were even shocked, feeling that Yan Chuang seemed like a little brother in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen drove the new Ferrari sports car and said to Tang Xiaofei, "Shall I take a lap with you first?"
Tang Xiaofei nodded her head, her heart was also full of anticipation.
At this time, Yan Chuang walked over and said, "Brother Chen, we’re about to have a race, a bet-supported one. Are you interested?"
"Illegal racing?" Ye Chen furrowed his brows.
Ye Chen had a feeling that races with bets were all illegal.
Yan Chuang shook his head, "No, all our money will be donated to Project Hope, so it’s considered a charity race."
Only then did Ye Chen nod in agreement, "No problem, this kind of race I must join."
"Great, I’ll sign you up." Yan Chuang left.
Ye Chen drove the Ferrari, took Tang Xiaofei for two laps.
It was Tang Xiaofei’s first time in such a fast car, and she exclaimed at how thrilling it was.
At this moment, the racing event began.
A track staff member said to everyone, "Folks, our charity race is about to start. Each person has five thousand in bet money, rest assured, apart from the first place, all the money in the prize pool will be donated to Project Hope. There are no restrictions on car models; three laps per race, final results based on the finish line timer."
Ye Chen registered with the new Ferrari, while Yan Chuang drove his Lamborghini.
Everyone joined the race just to have fun and also do some charity work.
At the racetrack, luxury cars were everywhere, Ye Chen’s sports car, worth over five hundred thousand, was nothing compared to the modified sports cars of those rich kids.
After all, these people regularly hung around racetracks and had good skills. Ye Chen was practically giving away money.
But Ye Chen didn’t care at all. It was all about having fun and contributing to charity.
The first round of the race was about to start, with a total of fifteen cars signed up.
Accompanied by the roar of sports cars, the race began.
The performance of Ye Chen’s car couldn’t compare with the others, starting off at the twelfth position.
This result was very normal because Ye Chen’s car hadn’t been modified, and nothing could be done about straightaways, no matter how skilled he was.
But once they reached the curves, it was Ye Chen’s world.
There were quite a few spectators below, and when other cars reached the curve they all started to slow down, but Ye Chen’s car didn’t slow down and sped through with the pedal to the metal.
"Whoa, is this guy crazy?"
"Taking the curve at such speed, does he think he’s a professional driver?"
"Doesn’t this guy know you need to slow down to take a curve?"
Ye Chen’s maneuver was really too dangerous.
Because during the drift not only did he have to navigate the curve, but he also needed to avoid other cars.
The difficulty doubled.
Quite a few timid girls even covered their eyes.
Screech, screech, screech!
With the sound of tires skidding on the ground, to the astonishment of the crowd, Ye Chen’s car advanced to third place.
Unfortunately, when it got to the straightaway, Ye Chen’s car got overtaken again.
In the end, Ye Chen only finished in third place.
But for Ye Chen to achieve third place in a non-modified car was already quite impressive.
After the race ended, those rich kids gathered around Ye Chen.
"Godlike, your drifting was awesome just now."
"Yeah, if it wasn’t for the car’s performance, surely it would have been a surefire first place."
Ye Chen smiled lightly, "Haha, it’s all just for fun, and being able to contribute to Project Hope is also a very happy thing."
Those who play sports cars here basically aren’t short on money, this amount of money is nothing at all.
The second round of the race began, and Yan Chuang said, "Brother Chen, your car’s no good, why not use mine? This round is for the supercar group, your car definitely isn’t cut out for it."
Only the top five from the second round could advance, and since Yan Chuang only finished in tenth in the previous round, he wasn’t qualified.
Ye Chen nodded, "Alright, then I’ll borrow your car."
The race started, this time, Ye Chen’s car started much faster than the Ferrari just now, reaching the curve in the blink of an eye.
Ordinary people slow down at curves because they can’t handle extreme speeds, but Ye Chen is different. With divine-level driving skills, Ye Chen could achieve a unity between man and machine.
This time, after the curve, since there was no gap on the straightaway, Ye Chen easily took first place.
