Chapter 49 -49: Sister Man Joins the Car Race
Lu Xingzhou actually noticed his own abnormal behavior, too. He rubbed his brow and maintained an expression of indifference.
“Prepare the car, head to the company.” He quickly changed the subject.
After the butler respectfully left, his phone rang.
It was a call from Song Xiao.
“Hello? Brother Zhou, are you free tonight?”
“I’m not free tonight, I have social engagements.”
“Okay then.” Song Xiao sounded somewhat disappointed.
His racing team had a training race that evening, and it promised to be an exciting scene!
…
That day, Jiang Man was very honest in the driving school, hiding her edge deliberately. Yet she still caught the instructor’s attention more than the other students.
The other students wouldn’t get it even after being taught several times, but Jiang Man only needed one demonstration. Not only did she get it, but she also performed very well.
Cold engine start, reverse parking, hill start, parallel parking, turning at a right angle, single-sided bridge, accelerating and decelerating over a hundred meters…
The second phase of the exam required sixteen hours of learning, but Jiang Man had mastered it all in less than half an hour.
Afterward, the instructor let her practice on her own, and the day passed quickly.
After class, Jiang Man and Wu Yingfan agreed to eat at the school cafeteria.
The two found a quiet corner.
Wu Yingfan gave all the fish and shrimp he took to Jiang Man.
Jiang Man loved shrimp, the kind she could never get enough of.
Wu Yingfan willingly put on disposable gloves, peeled the shrimp, and placed them in Jiang Man’s bowl.
To outsiders, they didn’t seem like a couple but more like siblings.
“Sister Man, could you cover for me in the race against Song Tian’en later? I’m actually pretty nervous.”
Wu Yingfan’s actions didn’t stop as he continued to skillfully peel the shrimp.
Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, her voice lazy, “No backbone.”
Wu Yingfan gave a wry smile, “It’s pretty spineless. If you don’t want to, Sister Man, then never mind…”
“I didn’t say no,” Jiang Man retorted, her voice carrying a hint of coolness, “I agree.”
“Really? Sister Man, eat more!” Wu Yingfan’s eyes brightened, even more attentive than before.
Jiang Man smirked, “That’s enough, I’m dieting recently.”
“Diet what? Sister Man, you have a graceful figure! No need to diet at all! You’re my idol! Adoration!”
…
After their meal, they went straight to the Dynasty training ground.
In West Mountain, there were a total of eight racing teams, each with their own territory.
Running a racing team was like creating a star, each team backed by a financial supporter.
Depending on the wealth of these sponsors, the conditions of each team varied significantly.
Jiang Man took a walk and noticed that Dynasty had the best conditions, both in terms of territory and vehicles compared to the other teams.
No wonder this team had won the world championship. It turned out financial power also played a supporting role.
“Sister, you’re here!” Song Xiao had been waiting outside the venue for a long time. Seeing Jiang Man, he immediately greeted her warmly.
When he saw that Wu Yingfan was with her, he frowned.
He remembered this kid; he had been there during the fight with the Qinglong Gang at the bar.
“Who is this?” Song Xiao asked proactively.
Jiang Man was indifferent, her voice without any fluctuations, “A friend, Wu Yingfan.”
“This is my sworn brother, Song Xiao.”
“Hello.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Song Xiao and Wu Yingfan shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.
Jiang Man was direct by nature and didn’t beat around the bush, “Brother Gan, my friend would like a one-on-one race with Song Tian’en after the practice session. Could you arrange that?”
Since Song Xiao was the boss of Dynasty, he naturally had a say.
“Him?” Song Xiao was quite surprised, and his voice involuntarily heightened.
Seeing this, Wu Yingfan puffed out his chest, “From your tone, it seems like you’re looking down on me?”
“No… Not at all…” Song Xiao hurriedly waved his hand, but he couldn’t help laughing, “Song Tian’en is the new racing god. Do you really want to race him?”
“I want to race!” Wu Yingfan insisted, “I won’t make him go through trouble for nothing; ten million as appearance fee, how about that?”
“Yo, quite the big spender!” Song Xiao was somewhat surprised.
He had investigated Wu Yingfan, but couldn’t find much useful information.
Who’d have thought this kid was actually a rich second generation?
“Song Xiao, can you do it or not? Give me a straight answer,” Jiang Man was getting impatient, her irritation evident in her brow.
Song Xiao gave her a look, “I’ve said, don’t ask a man if he can do it or not! Also, I love being called ‘Brother Gan,’ but I don’t like you calling me by my name.”
He immediately put on a demeanor that he needed to be coaxed, and without good coaxing, there would be no deal.
Jiang Man clenched her fists, really wanting to give him a punch or two.
But for her friend’s sake, she still swallowed her pride and forced a smile, “Brother Gan, will you agree?”
He raised his eyebrows in consideration, “For my little sister’s sake, I agree.”
But when his gaze shifted to Wu Yingfan, the smile immediately faded, “No one-on-one though; Song Tian’en is very busy.”
“How about this, join the ninth lane in the practice race later.”
“Okay! That works even better!” Wu Yingfan’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
He had always longed to participate in a real race, the kind where he could give his all and show off his skills.
“Then Man Jie wants to join too!” Yet he was still timid; without Jiang Man with him, he lacked confidence.
“Why should she join? She doesn’t even know how to drive!” Song Xiao was somewhat speechless.
Wu Yingfan snorted, “Who says she can’t? Not having a driving license doesn’t mean she can’t drive! Big brother, your thinking is too narrow-minded, wouldn’t you say?”
“What?” Song Xiao couldn’t help but raise his voice, “Well, if she knows how to drive, why doesn’t she just get a driving license?”
“You wouldn’t understand!” Wu Yingfan crossed his arms.
The two were at loggerheads, neither willing to give in.
Jiang Man rolled her eyes and rubbed her temples, “Aren’t you being childish? What’s there to argue about? Brother Gan, I can drive, just let me join.”
“Uh?” Song Xiao blinked his eyes, “Though the practice race isn’t official, it’s actually no different from the official ones, and it’s quite dangerous. It’s really not suitable for a novice.”
He sincerely tried to persuade her.

“This guy and I are not related, it’s fine if he participates; he just needs to sign a waiver, responsible for his own life or injuries. But you can’t, my sister. If something were to happen to you, how would I explain it to Xingzhou?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t die, nor will I be injured,” Jiang Man stated firmly.
“Oh, I’m not cursing you, just a risk warning,” Song Xiao was close to tears.
Jiang Man remained composed, a strong aura emanating from her, making it hard for anyone to argue, “I won’t get injured.”
Her tone was mild, yet resoundingly firm.
“Fine then.” Song Xiao didn’t say much more.
Since the little ancestor wanted to mess around and experience racing, he would tell the team to be more gentle in tonight’s practice race and not go all out.
“Later, you two go with the agent to choose your racing suits and car; I have some things to take care of,” Song Xiao decided, then said.
“Mm-hmm.” Jiang Man raised her eyebrows.
Wu Yingfan was secretly thrilled, so happy he almost jumped for joy.
Not far away, a group of people in black suits walked slowly through the night.
“Lu Shao, I heard you’re the financial backer behind the Dynasty racing team? I’m pretty interested in racing; how about you show me around?”
