After getting off the plane at Hongqiao Airport, Han Qi took a taxi on the street and went directly to the garage where the racing car was assembled.
When I opened the door and went in, I saw a lot of people here.
In addition to Zhang Chi, Sun Yuqiang, and Ji Xing, there was also a man Han Qi had never seen before. He was quite strong, wearing casual clothes and black-rimmed glasses.
Hearing the movement from the door, Zhang Chi also looked back.
"Oh, Han Qi, why are you here so quickly? You didn't even mention making a phone call so we could pick you up." Zhang Chi ran over enthusiastically and introduced Han Qi to his new teammate, "This is us.
The team manager Ye Xiang used to work for the Volkswagen 333 rally team."
Han Qi wanted to say hello, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Ye Xiang stepped forward and held it, saying: "Hello, hello, Comrade Han is indeed a talented person."
"Manager Ye is also very energetic."
After getting to know each other, Zhang Chi excitedly took Han Qi to see the car.
He had already tried his best. Without Han Qi, this car might not have appeared. So after Han Qi left Shang Hai, he immediately asked Sun Yuqiang to embroider it on their racing suits.
Han Qi’s Weibo name.
Han Qi loves to travel.
Without Han Qi, there would be no new life of our own. Thank you Han Qi!!
Han Qi didn't know about this yet. When they were about to go out to test the car, Zhang Chi and the others changed their clothes and came out. The first thing everyone saw on their clothes was the girly pink "Han Qi who loves traveling" in a very large font and also
The small words 'Han Qi' are embroidered in black fonts on the side.
Han Qi was shocked.
Han Qi doesn't object to promoting herself, but your use of pink is a bit excessive.
"The black thread only has this bit, and after I embroidered it, I found it was not enough, so I used the thread my wife used to make sweaters to sew the current one." Sun Yuqiang was a little embarrassed, but he quickly changed his mind and said, "Actually, it's quite pretty.
Wearing pink also makes you look younger, and it also shows that our team has a good mentality."
"..."
Fortunately, I didn't wear it, Han Qi thought as he complained.
Although this car can be driven, it is not allowed to be driven on the road, and the racing car can only appear on the track.
But it’s not so absolute. As long as you leave the city, no one will come to check what kind of car you drive. Sun Yuqiang also found an excellent test drive location around Shanghai, with many curves and a rally track.
Common gravel road.
"Then let's go test drive now?" Ye Xiang asked.
"Well, Manager Ye, please call and inform Che."
Ye Xiang nodded and called the transport truck.
Han Qi also took this moment to ask Sun Yuqiang something about Manager Ye.
Logically speaking, what kind of manager does such a small team need? Including Han Qi, there are only four people. Among them, Han Qi is here to sponsor and have fun by touching the racing car. They are the only three who really do the work.
There is only one person in the maintenance team of a three-person team, so what else does the manager do?
Sun Yuqiang looked at Ye Xiang who had walked away, and whispered to Han Qi: "Manager Ye gave us a bicycle frame before, but we messed up the matter, so Manager Ye was also fired from the team. Zhang Chi was thinking about our team.
It will grow sooner or later, so I kept Manager Ye here."
Zhang Chi also heard what Sun Yuqiang said and said: "Although we are a small team now, ah, this is true, but after we win the championship this time, we will be able to develop quickly."
Han Qi nodded to express his understanding.
If you are relaxed, you will definitely take in such a person when you meet him.
Because it is rare to have a confidant on the road of life.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Manager Ye opened the door and came in, sweating profusely in the winter:
"The transport truck is too big and can't get in. Zhang Chi, do you think we can drive this racing car out?"
"Aren't you going to make trouble with me?"
Zhang Chi rushed out to take a look.
It's indeed a bit narrow.
In fact, it's okay inside, because there is an open space after entering the alley. It's no problem to park a few cars outside, but the problem lies in the alley connecting the outside. This alley is very narrow, and it is more than enough for cars to get in, but trucks want to
It's a little difficult to get in.
What's more, the transport vehicles are all large trucks.
Or tow the car, find a taxi or hail one from Didi Taxi, but it is easier to drive the car secretly. Anyway, the transport truck will be waiting outside after exiting the alley, and you can just drive into the car.
That's fine, no need to go to the highway.
It's just that Zhang Chi was frightened by the experience of being caught speeding by the traffic police and being suspended for five years, so he didn't dare to blatantly violate traffic rules in the city.
"Find a car and take us out."
It took a while to get the car onto the transport truck. The test drive place was not close to Shanghai, so it would take at least two hours of driving.
The transport truck drove ahead, followed closely by a Jinbei truck that was called to tow the truck.
Sun Yuqiang was a little restless and kept looking at his phone and said, "We might not be able to come back tonight, how about we stay there?"
Han Qi was the first to nod: "I have no problem."
Ji Xing also said that there was no problem. He hadn't gotten married yet anyway, so he would be fine no matter where he lived.
Ye Xiang just needs to make a phone call. He used to travel a lot when he was the manager of a team and he has long been used to it. Only Zhang Chi wants to come back and it doesn't matter to anyone else, but he still has a child at home.
Although little Zhang Fei can go home and cook by himself, he is still a young child after all, so Zhang Chi is not at ease.
"I still have to come back, but I'll leave the car over there with you. After I tested the car, I just found a car and came back. It's only been two hours, so it's okay."
Two hours later, the car had already arrived in the countryside somewhere.
But the road is still in good repair. It can be seen that this tarmac road has just been repaired. There are few people and cars, and it is also very clean. There is very little garbage on the road where cars come. But I still have to walk this road again in a while.
Then check to see if there is anything on the road that may affect driving.
Sun Yuqiang found this place. He asked the driver to stop the car on a bridge, leaned on the railing beside the bridge and said to a few people,
"Come and look here."
After Han Qi passed by, he discovered that this was actually a winding road going down the mountain. There were several big bends in a row, and the angles were very extreme. It would take a normal person a long time to turn this bend. The most important thing is that the view from the bridge is very good.
, standing here you can see whether there will be any oncoming cars during the test drive.
Sun Yuqiang said: "Manager Ye, you can help us here to see if there are any cars coming down the mountain. Just keep an eye on the village. Don't worry about the bamboo forest in the middle."
"Okay." Ye Xiang agreed simply.
Han Qi and the four of them got into the van again and called to the driver of the transport truck who was smoking: "Brother, let's go, just stop here."
There are two roads at the bridge entrance, one of which is still a county road, and the road going down the mountain to the left is where we will test the car later.
After another ten minutes, Han Qi finally saw what the car looked like in the sun. The new white paint was particularly comfortable to touch, the huge air intake, the streamlined sound... This was a rally car, and Han Qi was in a very good mood.
Excited.
But he couldn't be more excited than Sun Yu, and he knelt directly in front of the racing car.
