254: Chapter 254 President Ren, Calm and Composed

Lin Chuyan expressed that he was in no hurry to sign the contract.

He ignored the other party's blatant lies and stuck to his own rhythm: "General Manager Ren, shall I take another lap for you?"

What else could General Manager Ren say? He just had to watch.

But after one lap, the other party's time had improved again...

"General Manager Ren, what's the time?"

"2 minutes and 31 seconds..."

What was this?

This time was still 20 seconds slower than the Porsche record. Honestly, that was quite a gap. One had to realize that in many car races, the difference between the first and last place was sometimes only a few seconds.

But the problem was, compared to the previous lap, this kid had suddenly improved by half a minute...

General Manager Ren couldn't help but ask again: "Teacher Lin Chuyan, is this your best time?"

Lin Chuyan smiled, his tone firm and decisive: "I can go faster, much faster!"

He was bluffing.

This was actually his best time.

However, he had a system...

Adding points directly was a bit painful, and it was highly likely that even if he added them all, he wouldn't be able to beat the records set by top professional drivers.

Fortunately, Lin Chuyan hadn't forgotten that he still had a character skill card. He hadn't used this thing for so long that the readers were almost about to forget it; was he supposed to save it for the New Year?

His idea was simple: if he just drove casually, like the client requested as an 'experience officer,' it would be fine, but it would just be another ordinary commercial collaboration, just like his other endorsements. After all, he wasn't quite at the same level as General Manager Lei; the other guy was a true top-tier celebrity... But what if he broke the official fastest production car lap record at the Shanghai International Circuit for Porsche?

General Manager Ren stood on the sidelines watching him, rubbing his fingers frantically, as if pondering something.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "Teacher Lin Chuyan, why don't we pick up the speed? Shall we run one more lap?"

Lin Chuyan shook his head; he wouldn't follow the other party's rhythm: "General Manager Ren, if you only want an experience officer, no matter how many laps I run, the result will be the same. That just now was my best time."

General Manager Ren: "..."

Bullshit! That's not what you said just a moment ago, kid.

He could have just pretended nothing happened, but Lin Chuyan's words from just now were too tempting.

Yes, the prototype car that ran at the Nürburgring really did break the record. But what about the production car? What if, at the Shanghai International Circuit, the production car also took first place? And the one taking first place was a novice who had only just received his racing license...

Holy crap, what kind of value is that?

The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT has a maximum of 1034 horsepower, while the SU7 Ultra has a maximum of 1538 horsepower.

The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT has a top speed of 290 km/h, while the SU7 Ultra has a top speed of 350 km/h.

Holy crap, it's not impossible. What if?

General Manager Ren got more excited the more he thought about it: If this could really be pulled off, wouldn't that be the fastest four-door production car on the planet? A four-door sports car with pure racing genes?

Calm down, must stay calm.

Can't stay calm. Gotta make a call to General Manager Lei first...

In the end, a new contract was drafted.

The original part about being an experience officer remained unchanged, still at the price of 5 million. But a clause was added to the back: break the record, and receive an additional 10 million.

General Manager Lei was half-thinking it was unlikely, and half-thinking that if it was broken, it would indeed be worth that price. Regardless of whether the other party was bluffing, he might as well try it. It was only 10 million, no big deal...

...

The contract was signed.

However, signing it didn't mean starting the run immediately. Weibo would do a warm-up first.

Lin Chuyan started posting on Weibo.

"pegasus 2》 has wrapped up, and I've fallen in love with racing. Family, are there any high-performance sports cars that can hit the track recommended? I want to buy one."

His Weibo was followed by countless people, and soon netizens came to comment.

"Flexing your wealth, are we?"

"The topic is a bit out of my league, brother. I've never bought a sports car."

"What's the budget? Are you buying a 25 million one?"

Lin Chuyan replied to this: "Sorry to bother you, I don't have that much money. Is there anything under 1 million?"

So some netizens started tagging General Manager Lei—after all, for the past two days, the internet had been full of news about this car.

"@General Manager Lei, hurry, someone here wants to buy a car."

"@General Manager Lei, why don't you gift my brother one? You can even use the chance to let him help you advertise."

"@General Manager Lei, Lin Chuyan's looks are a perfect match for your car. Why don't you collaborate?"

Just when everyone thought this was just a normal Weibo post, a new comment appeared and was quickly pushed to the top position.

General Manager Lei: "Teacher Lin Chuyan, would you like to try the SU7 Ultra?"

"Holy crap, General Manager Lei!"

"Holy crap, this is a true top-tier celebrity!"

"Holy crap, do these two know each other?"

"Holy crap, is my brother already this popular?"

Immediately after, Lin Chuyan forwarded General Manager Lei's comment and posted another one:

"What a handsome car. General Manager Lei, can I test drive it?"

General Manager Lei forwarded Lin Chuyan's post again:

"Of course, we very much welcome Lin Chuyan to experience the SU7 Ultra."

Soon, the Weibo interaction between these two major top-tier celebrities, who seemed to be in completely different circles, hit the trending list.

#General Manager Lei invites Lin Chuyan to experience the SU7 Ultra#

Then, even more explosive news followed. The two sides seemed to hit it off immediately, as the client had even prepared the posters. Not long after, they officially announced that Lin Chuyan would be the first experience officer for the SU7 Ultra production car.

On the poster, Lin Chuyan was wearing a racing suit, holding a helmet, and right beside him was a yellow race car—what else could it be but the SU7 Ultra?

"Holy crap, so damn handsome! The car is handsome, and so is the guy!"

"They really collaborated??? Σ(ﾟдﾟ;)"

"Wait, you guys planned this in advance, right? No, wait, does Lin Chuyan actually know how to race?"

"You guys didn't believe it when he was filming pegasus 2》, and you didn't believe the online leaks that he got a racing license. Well, now look, my brother is doing something big!"

"Once again, I'm sighing at how easy it is for artists to make money. Just go up and drive two laps, and the money is in the bag."

"Wasn't it enough that David broke the record? Hiring a traffic-driver to show off? Is it necessary?"

"Laughing to death, didn't you see what their official account said? They're going to release a video later! Do you think just anyone can do it? Why doesn't your Idol go? Is it because he doesn't want to?"

#Lin Chuyan serves as the first experience officer for the SU7 Ultra#

Another trending topic surged up; the news about the SU7 Ultra was practically living on the trending list.

Back at the Shanghai International Circuit, the client had scheduled another time slot from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. After resting for several hours, Lin Chuyan was finally going to start his official run.

[character skill card: This item can be used on any real-life person to acquire the specified skill of that person, with a duration of 24 hours]

Were there any recognized car gods in his previous life? He wasn't too sure. But on the Blue Planet, one search was all it took; there was only one recognized one.

Alexander Black, born into a racing family, with a father who was a famous racing engineer and a mother who was a retired racer. Influenced by his family, Alexander showed sensitivity to speed and mechanics from a young age, as well as a profound understanding of racing.

He won countless races throughout his career, and no racer of his era could compare to him. His technical characteristics were precise car control, excellent strategic planning, and almost perfect tire management.

After retiring, Alexander founded his own racing school, began training a new generation of racers, and served as a technical consultant for several teams, continuing to influence the racing world in different ways...

You're the one.

Lin Chuyan used the character skill card without hesitation, specifying the skill "Driving Skill".

"Teacher Lin Chuyan, we will have the video on for the entire duration. There will be two angles in total, one for the road surface and the other aimed at the driver's seat. The video will also be used as part of the promotion and posted online."

The staff member told him the precautions and then started to re-inspect the vehicle.

Lin Chuyan was full of confidence: "General Manager Ren, we are different from the Nürburgring. The weather is so good, and I'll run a few more laps; the results will definitely get better and better."

A joke! The car god had possessed him, how could he not be confident?

"I'll be waiting and watching..."

General Manager Ren didn't know what he should say anymore.

How did things develop to this point? What happened to just being the SU7 Ultra experience officer? No, why did he start challenging the official fastest production car lap record at the Shanghai International Circuit?

This Lin Chuyan was indeed as the rumors said, too good at causing trouble...

Everything was ready.

Lin Chuyan took a deep breath, his heartbeat syncing with the race car.

His gaze was firm, staring at the track ahead through his goggles. He had already run this track many times; it could definitely be called familiar.

3, 2, 1.

The moment the green light lit up, Lin Chuyan was like a tensed spring suddenly released. His right foot slammed on the accelerator, the rear wheels frictioned against the road surface, starting to screech, and the vehicle shot out at that moment.

Lin Chuyan gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if an invisible force was guiding him.

He and the race car seemed to merge into one; every judgment was incredibly precise, and every turn seemed extremely natural and just right. His speed was getting faster and faster, as if the wind on the track was making way for him.

Moves he dared not do before could now be done; acceleration he dared not add before could now be added.

The roar of the motor and the sound of breaking the wind resounded. Is this the feeling of a car god?

Full throttle, full throttle. Accelerate, accelerate. 300, 300.

Keep pushing up!

Finally, a tail speed of 326, then came heavy braking.

Sprint—

Crossed the finish line.

"General Manager Ren, what's the time?"

"2 minutes... 2 minutes 10 seconds 73!!! It broke!!! It broke the record!!! Exceeded it by 1 second!!!"

"Oh."

"Didn't you hear clearly? We broke the record!"

"Oh, I was just test driving just now."

"????"

Lin Chuyan had a half-smile on his face: "General Manager Ren, stay calm. We're nowhere near the limit yet. Let me run a few more laps; I had a few mistakes on several corners just now."

Ten thousand grass mud horses galloped through General Manager Ren's heart.

No, buddy, you mean, you were just up there looking for a feel? You made a mistake, and then you broke the record in one lap?

Holy crap, the way you're showing off is next level Σ(°ロ°).
