Hate The Bright Moon Chapter 22

Chapter 25

The sun in Xinjiang in August was blazing, and I took a breath of dry air as soon as I got off the plane.

A few hours ago, Chen Shilu drove Chi Huang to the airport and finally caught up with the big team heading to the competition.

After sitting in economy class for more than four hours, the cramped seats made Chi Huang feel sore all over.After finally getting off the plane, he stretched his limbs and asked lazily: “Lao Jiang, let’s eat first, I’m starving.”

Jiang Chao ignored him and just said to Dalin next to him: “Contact the hotel to see if the car to pick us up has arrived.”

“Shall we go to the hotel first?” Chi Huang asked again.

Jiang Chao handed a list to Ah Chao: “You and Jianzai go get your luggage and follow the items on the list to make sure you don’t forget anything.”

“You can’t eat so soon, right? I’m going to buy a hamburger first. Does anyone else want to eat?” Chi Huang looked around, looking for a fast food restaurant.

Jiang Chao ignored him, and others ignored him. Everyone was busy with their own business. After finishing their work, they walked to the parking lot together, without giving him a chance to buy a burger.

After getting into the hotel car, Chi Huang couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Jiang Chao, who was treating him coldly.

He patted the man on the shoulder: “Didn’t I catch up? How long are you going to show me your face? As the team leader, don’t you talk to me during the entire race?”

Jiang Chao still didn’t speak, but Dalin next to him said, “I am the team leader in this competition.”

“Oh.” Chi Huang continued to whisper in Jiang Chao’s ear, “Then you can really stop talking to me.”

Seeing the man’s veins popping out from his anger, Dalin couldn’t stand it anymore: “Chi Huang, please calm down. The game hasn’t even started yet. Do you want to make Lao Jiang angry to death first?”

“I didn’t want to make him angry, but he gets angry too easily.” He approached the man and coaxed, “Don’t be angry. Do I promise to get you a personal first three lines?”

Any promise coming from such a frivolous man was untrustworthy. Jiang Chao pushed him: “If you don’t get it, get out of the convoy.”

“Don’t let me get out, it won’t do you any good if I get out.” He had an idea, “If I don’t get it, I will sell stockings to earn back the bonus.”

After that “Stockings Live Broadcast”, the owner of the clothing factory approached Jiang Chao twice more, and even wanted to sign a long-term contract with Chi Huang, but Jiang Chao declined.

On the one hand, he thought that Chi Huang was a driver after all, and it was not appropriate to do such a thing. In addition, he used Chi Huang’s previous race videos to get small sponsorships from two related parts factories. At least the cost of the current race was covered.

What he is most worried about is that after the competition is over, if he does not get the ranking and bonus, where will the subsequent funds come from.Chi Huang made such a promise at this time, even if it was careless, it could be regarded as giving Jiang Chao a way out.

He glanced at Chi Huang and gave him a good face: “Everyone in the car heard it. Don’t say that I forced you later.”

“How could you force me? Contributing to the team is what I should do.”

“Humph, it’s good to know.” Jiang Chao got back to the point, “I’ll settle the matter with you in the future. The competition is most important right now. No matter what nonsense you are doing, get rid of distracting thoughts and adjust your condition to the best.”

“Yes, you have the final say.”

Hearing Chi Huang’s nonchalant answer, Jiang Chao became angry again and turned to Ah Chao and Jian Zai: “I thought I was just talking about Chi Huang. It’s the same for you two. It’s your first time to participate in such an international competition. Come up with something for me and don’t let my tens of thousands of yuan registration fee go to waste.”

Chi Huang is the only driver in the team who is good enough to participate in such an international competition, but only two riders who finish the race are eligible for the team award.Accidents are usually uncontrollable during the competition. To be on the safe side, I chose the taller one and signed up for all three of them.

Regardless of the outcome, this is an extremely valuable experience for Ah Chao and Jian Zai.Every amazing racing driver is honed from this round after round of competition.

So even though Jiang Chao is picky, foul-mouthed, and has a bad temper, the kids on the team all admire him.Because he truly cares about the team wholeheartedly, teaches every member everything he can, and tries his best to provide everyone with opportunities to grow.

While he was preaching to others, Chi Huang leaned against the swaying car window, secretly took out his cell phone and sent a message to Chen Shilu.

“We’ve arrived and are on our way to the hotel. What are you doing?”

He didn’t expect Chen Shilu to reply to him soon. It was Monday. After Chen Shilu sent him to the airport in the morning, he immediately rushed to the company. He should be busy at the moment.

Unexpectedly, the other party replied instantly: “Have lunch.”

“What to eat?”

Chen Shilu sent a photo. The flowers are red and the willows are green, and it looks very rich.

“I want to eat too, I’m so hungry.”

“Why, did you make your coach angry? He didn’t even give you food?”

“Almost.”

“When you get to the hotel, send me your location and I’ll give you something to eat.”

Chi Huang raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a little smile in his eyes: “Just kidding. He relies on me to get him a ranking, and at least he can eat.”

“Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll give you some.”

Chi Huang couldn’t help but smile a little deeper: “Come and watch me compete. It’s very fun here during this period. There are teams from home and abroad coming to compete, and the organizers will also hold some song and dance shows and fireworks shows.”

Chen Shilu did not reply to him immediately.

He had already sent out the same invitation last night. When Chen Shilu was in a good mood, he invited him to finish dinner and hang out at a high-end restaurant. At that time, Chen Shilu said that he was too busy and had no time. Now he couldn’t help but invite him again on WeChat.

He didn’t know why, but he just felt that if Chen Shilu came over, this game would be a lot more fun, and it would make him look forward to it.Otherwise, he would really not be able to keep up his energy in this long rally where there was no hard work and it was all about endurance.

After thinking about it, he also transferred 5,000 yuan for the air ticket.

“Come on Chen Shilu, you guys have holidays when you work, right? You work so hard, you should be allowed to take a holiday, right?”

“What are you transferring money for?”

“I wonder what if one of the many obstacles you have is that you don’t want to spend the travel expenses?”

“I’m not that poor yet, take it back.” Chen Shilu continued, “It’s not as simple as you think, and you can’t take a vacation casually.”

“How complicated is that? How about you give me your boss’s phone number and I’ll call him?”

Chen Shilu sent a speechless rabbit emoticon.

Chi Huang could imagine what he looked like at this time, and Chen Shilu’s helpless look was so cute: “Come on, please. If you don’t come, I will definitely not win the championship.”

“Moral kidnapping again? Even if you come, I won’t be able to accompany you for the whole game. I can only choose a time in the middle.”

“What time?”

“I can’t tell now, it depends on my work schedule.”

“Tell me when you make arrangements.”

“I’m not going to tell you. I will appear in front of you like a fairy descending from the earth. Remember to send me your destination and keep looking forward to it.”

When Chi Huang saw this sentence, his heart rate skyrocketed, his whole body became hot, and his expectations were instantly raised.He is extremely familiar with these physiological reactions, because he will almost have similar experiences every time he is in a critical moment in racing.

But he didn’t know why he would have similar feelings when he imagined Chen Shilu suddenly appearing in front of him. The only difference was that although the adrenaline surged during the game, it did not delay him from calmly analyzing his situation. Now, he just laughed unconsciously.

Jiang Chao, who was still “teaching” the other two people, suddenly fell silent when he heard Chi Huang’s rare hearty laughter.She looked at him with complicated eyes for a while, and then gave him a slap on the head: “You are really ignorant. I asked you to abandon distracting thoughts and concentrate on the game, but your mind is full of distracting thoughts, right? What kind of goblin is trying to seduce you?”

Chen Shilu sent another message: “Okay, I’m busy. Remember to report that you’re safe when you get to the hotel.”

“It’s not a fairy, it’s a fairy.” The more Chi Huang said, the more he couldn’t stop laughing.

“What a ghost, I think you are possessed by a ghost.”

In order to allow the riders to have a good rest, Jiang Chao arranged the time relatively loosely.On the first day, there was nothing else to do except rest in the hotel.

The racing car was delivered via logistics the next day. They also rented a truck and an off-road vehicle as logistics vehicles, as well as tents and other camping supplies.

All stages of the rally are held outdoors.If you live in an urban area, you have to get up at three or four in the middle of the night. By the time you get to the start of the stage, most of your energy will be exhausted.So they choose to camp at a campsite that’s closer to them so they can get a few more hours of sleep.

In terms of personnel, in addition to the three riders and Jiang Chao and Dalin, who are the team leader, logistics and driver, they also temporarily hired two mechanics to be responsible for the maintenance and adjustment of the vehicles to maintain the best performance of the motorcycles during the ten-day competition.

Everything was ready, and we ushered in the opening ceremony of the third day and the warm-up short track race before the official race, also called the qualifying race.

The passage time of the artificial obstacle course of 3 to 5 kilometers determines the starting position for the official competition on the next day.

Because rally competitions are not only affected by the driver’s own skills and endurance, but also by the performance of the car and the environment.It is also very important to choose a good starting position and reduce the interference caused by the environment.

Before the start of the race, Jiang Chao warned his three drivers that although it was crucial to run the fastest time so as to occupy a good starting position, the most important thing was to pay attention to safety.If you get injured during a short track race and miss the next day’s official race, it’s not worth the loss.

As soon as they entered the arena, they met an acquaintance. Qin Pingchuan also came to participate in this competition.

This is not surprising at all. Qin Pingchuan signed with another team after leaving Polestar. In this kind of international event, any team with some strength will participate.

Ah Chao and Jian Zai enthusiastically went up to call brother, while Chi Huang only watched from the side.

What everyone didn’t expect was that Qin Pingchuan had a livid face and ignored the other two “old teammates”. When he saw Chi Huang and the cat and the mouse, he immediately became furious, threw the motorcycle aside, and rushed over with his fists.
