255: Did Chapter 255 crash?

...

Mr. Ren couldn't stay calm!

The record had been broken; how could he possibly stay calm?

"Mr. Ren, that fastest lap record for Porsche was set when the track was semi-wet. Do you think beating it by just one second is appropriate?"

"Alright, alright, Teacher Lin Chuyan, just do as you see fit. Just try your best. If you need anything, just say the word."

At this moment, in Mr. Ren's eyes, Lin Chuyan was a master. Whatever the master said went. In short, he had to be taken care of first!

Thus, for the next hour, he watched as Lin Chuyan began a journey of breaking records, lap after lap.

The car's horsepower and top speed were already more powerful than the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. With the one-day 'Racing God' experience card currently active, plus the fact that the track was completely dry, Lin Chuyan felt he gained something new with every lap, and each lap was faster than the last.

And that was indeed the case.

When he finished the last lap and got out of the car, Lin Chuyan took off his helmet and smoothed his hair.

"Mr. Ren, what's the time?"

"1... 1 minute... 1 minute 57.07 seconds!!!"

"Did you record the video?"

"Recorded, recorded, recorded!" Mr. Ren was incredibly excited. "Teacher Lin Chuyan, this is big news!"

After saying that, he pulled over a staff member: "Quick, quick, calculate how much he beat it by?"

The staff member had already calculated it: "14.21 seconds!"

Lin Chuyan nodded. With the track conditions, the car's performance, and the Racing God buff, those three layers of buffs combined meant this was about as much improvement as he could get in one lap. If he kept driving, he could probably shave off a bit more, but it would be very limited... So, this was enough.

"Okay, wrap it up."

Mr. Ren grabbed him, as if afraid he might slip away: "Teacher Lin Chuyan, stay, please stay."

He really didn't know what to say. This Lin Chuyan was such a weirdo; how did he make breaking records seem as easy as drinking water, and why did he act like this record was no big deal?

Lin Chuyan was a bit helpless: "Mr. Ren, I wasn't planning on running away."

Indeed, he couldn't run away. This was a new record, and the officials from the Shanghai International Circuit had already started working on the side.

Staff from both sides were coordinating. They were submitting the track name, race date, driver's name, vehicle type, and the actual lap time achieved.

The Shanghai International Circuit officials were already conducting data verification, performing a preliminary audit of the submitted results to ensure the accuracy and completeness of all data.

In addition, they had to check the vehicle's compliance to ensure it met all relevant technical specifications and safety standards.

Finally, they would compare it with the previous track record to confirm it had been broken. Only after everything passed would they make an official certification decision, issue a formal statement, and update the track record table.

In short, just wait.

Mr. Ren quickly let go: "Anyway, I'm going to make another call. Let's have dinner together tonight. You must do me this favor."

Lin Chuyan nodded: "Sure, sure."

It wasn't that he didn't know this was big news, it was just that he didn't need to worry about it. The client would definitely promote it well. He had already finished his job, so he could just sit back and watch the show.

Mr. Ren returned after making the call, seemingly with a different perspective on the matter: "Teacher Lin Chuyan, this result is even more impressive than I imagined. Leave the rest to me; our team will coordinate with the Shanghai International Circuit officials and announce this news as soon as possible. By the way, we'd also like to hold a press conference for you. What do you think?"

The person on the other end of the call had said only one thing: even with the advantages of the track conditions and the car's performance, it would still be very difficult for a professional race car driver to achieve this time.

Of course, they couldn't guarantee it. After all, Lin Chuyan was just a novice who had only recently obtained his B-class racing license... It was absolutely outrageous.

Lin Chuyan shook his head: "Forget the press conference. Mr. Ren, please understand, I really don't have the time. As for other online promotions, I will definitely do my best to cooperate."

"Oh, right," Lin Chuyan seemed to remember something, "This result shouldn't get me slapped in the face. You can also hype me up as much as you want. Even if it gets me scolded, it doesn't matter; I can handle it."

He had that confidence.

Mr. Ren nodded: "Rest assured, we know what to do."

"No, you don't understand," Lin Chuyan began to teach him step-by-step, "What I mean is, you can put the word out that I said some very arrogant things on-site. It would be best if it could make people feel triggered and anxious after reading it."

Mr. Ren: "..."

This guy definitely had some issues.

Lin Chuyan ignored him and lowered his head to start posting on Weibo again.

"Just finished running on the track. The car experience was very good, and the result was decent."

It was an abrupt sentence, but anyone who had been following the news about him and Mr. Lei over the past two days naturally knew what he meant.

"What do you mean by 'decent'? If you've got guts, post it."

Reply: "Yeah, yeah, there will be a video later."

Lin Chuyan was feeling exceptionally calm at this moment...

It was like when you're playing Landlord, you only have one pair left in your hand, and others think you have a pair of threes, but in reality, you're holding the King Bomb.

Well, actually, it was just playing the pig to eat the tiger.

It was so cliché, but it felt so good.

"Experience was very good, but the result was just 'decent'? Yanzi, you're not up to scratch."

Reply: "There's definitely room for improvement, but the track was only booked for one hour, so I left after running. That's it."

"LMAO, making excuses for yourself already, right? If you suck, you suck, why blame the lack of time? Trying to shift the blame to the client? Classic you, Lin the Dog!"

Reply: "Haha, I'm really not making excuses. It was genuinely an objective reason. Believe it or not."

"You have the nerve to embarrass yourself with a B-class license?"

Reply: "It's alright, I'm a newbie after all. Even the best drivers started with a B-class license."

"How should I put it? I originally thought the car was pretty awesome, but then they went and found you. Haha, it's so funny it makes me mad."

Reply: "Just a tiny newcomer to the racing world, or perhaps not even part of it yet. I'm flattered by Mr. Lei's kindness; I'm truly overwhelmed."

Mosquito Hits Cannon: "Did you get hacked?"

Reply: "?"

Seeing this, many people started to realize something...

Oh yeah, why did this guy suddenly change his temper? He's not being sarcastic anymore?

"F*ck, who hacked my brother's account? Get the hell out of here!"

"Yanzi, blink if you've been kidnapped."

Lin Chuyan didn't reply anymore.

The three of them had a meal with Mr. Ren's team. Once the track results were confirmed, they took a group photo together, then left and rushed back to Beijing overnight.

Meanwhile, the brand was preparing to announce the track record that had just been refreshed by Lin Chuyan.

It wasn't an official Weibo post; Mr. Lei posted it on his personal account once again.

"1 minute 57.07 seconds, Shanghai International Circuit, SU7 Ultra has refreshed the record again.

This time it's a mass-produced car, not a prototype.

This was also an accident; from the racing experience to breaking the record, we only used one hour.

October 19th, 16:00 - 17:00, we conducted a private track test, during which we broke the record multiple times.

October 19th, Shanghai International Circuit, 16:00 in the afternoon, the official start.

October 19th, Shanghai International Circuit, 16:43:57.07 in the afternoon, crossed the finish line, result achieved.

October 19th, Shanghai International Circuit, 17:00 in the afternoon, departed the track on time.

October 19th, Shanghai International Circuit, 20:00 in the evening, official confirmation of the lap time.

SU7 Ultra, refreshed the fastest mass-produced car lap record at the Shanghai International Circuit.

Driver Lin Chuyan, newcomer, no prior track records."

The Weibo post included a photo, which was a group photo of Lin Chuyan and everyone at the circuit. He was wearing a racing suit, waving his hand with a bright smile. Behind him was a yellow sports car, and in front of him was a huge sign that read: 01:57.07.

This photo really was, no matter how you looked at it, surreal...

All the netizens who saw this Weibo post were dumbfounded.

Wait, Lin Chuyan, wasn't he just some experience officer?

How did he end up breaking the record?

Do you remember Mr. Lei's previous Weibo post, the last sentence was: Driver David Pittard, Nürburgring 24-hour endurance race champion.

What about this time? Driver Lin Chuyan, newcomer, no prior track records.

Is this f*cking reasonable?

Suggest a strict investigation!

And Lin Chuyan, just before getting on the plane, posted another Weibo: "Is there anyone who wants to be blown away?"
