[Episode 15]

Xiting.

Good evening.

Lin Zhendong wants to talk to you.

To me?

About what?

I'm Lin Zhendong.

I'm trying to talk to you

for the first time.

Because I'm sincerely asking you a favor.

The match tomorrow

is crucial to me.

I know you can drive better than me.

But I'm begging you

not to come out.

Because

it will be my first match

as a racer tomorrow.

No matter if I can make it,

it's a battle between me and myself.

Thanks.

Thanks?

A battle between you and yourself?

Like you were Vegeta.

I just want to inform you

not to make trouble.

If you show up during the match tomorrow,

please return the body to Lin Zhendong immediately.

Okay.

Let me return the body to him now.

How's it?

Did he watch it?

Yes.

What did he say?

Nothing.

He won't influence you anyways.

Just focus on your match.

Tomorrow,

you will have your first

complete match.

Go for it.

Okay.

You will see the real me.

Dear audiences, dear fans,

we are at the scene

of the Baochuan circuit of the Rookie Race.

I'm Wang, the commentator.

The last racer

[Baochuan circuit, Rookie Race] was the champion in the last circuit,

which is Lin Zhendong, from the Speeding Racing Team.

We were

greatly surprised

by Lin Zhendong's performance

in the last circuit.

So, will he perform well

in today's competition?

Let's look forward to it.

[Referee]

Self-inspection complete.

Ready to start.

Are you nervous?

Ye,

give him the contact lenses

you made.

Be careful since it's the first time to wear them.

Get rid of this pair of glasses,

fear,

as well as

nervousness.

Conquer yourself

and conquer your fear.

Come on.

L5.

One.

Dear audiences, our race has started.

We can observe that Lin Zhendong

gathered momentum once he started.

It's pretty radical.

It seems like

he learned the essence of Zhang Chi's driving skills.

But the result is not optimistic.

Lin Zhendong's performance

[China Car Rally Championship] is going downhill.

[8 Lin Zhendong +12″212]

Currently, Lin Zhendong

[China Car Rally Championship] is ranked 8th.

Try to speed as much as you can. Don't be conservative.

Speed up, and then we will win.

Chi,

lower your voice.

Or you will influence him.

I have to guide him.

He hasn't understood the car comprehensively yet.

He won the championship in the last circuit.

That's because he was lucky.

Next, all the eight bends forward

on the open road.

Remember the Full Moon and Scimitar.

That's a terrible name.

I can't bear it.

Brake a bit later.

Increase the exit speed

to gain dominance.

Rush.

My fault.

It's fine.

Keep a steady mood.

He didn't drive it well.

He doesn't have the right condition today.

He wants to win and fears loss.

It's okay.

Focus.

Adjust the car.

Just speed up.

Lin Zhendong made a mistake again.

The race has just progressed to less than one-third,

and Lin Zhendong has made two mistakes.

What is my current ranking?

Lin Zhendong

[11 Lin Zhendong +12″072] is ranked 11th.

Calm down.

You still stand a chance. Come on!

Why are you interrupting?

Why can't I?

I'm his manager.

You are my manager.

I'm not your manager.

You are pushing him, you know?

Don't influence him.

He knows how to drive.

Don't be distracted by others.

Do not focus on your ranking now.

Focus on driving! Rush!

Now, let's see

the top two racers.

We can see

the first

and the second places

are Li Aoduo and Noel.

R2.

Into L4.

Small jump.

L2.

400 meters straight.

[1 Li Aoduo, 2 NOEL] Li Aoduo and Noel

are performing steadily today.

We see two people consistently holding

the top two positions.

[1 NOEL, 2 Li Aoduo +0″504]

Why is there always a dark horse?

Ai Fei surpassed me again?

Let's apply that trick.

Now.

How's it?

Nice!

Manager, by how many seconds did I surpass?

[1 NOEL, 2 Li Aoduo +1″418]

What's he doing?

You are falling behind even more.

Who...

Who...

Who asked me to use that trick?

Who asked me to use that trick?

Song Yuandao.

What?

Was it you who let me use that trick?

I'm falling behind even more.

Fine, calm down.

Zhendong.

Come on.

You can do it.

Bravo.

Full Moon and Scimitar.

We are now in the final moments of the race.

Let's see the ranking.

The top two are still Noel and Li Aoduo.

[1 NOEL, 2 Li Aoduo +1″857]

Bravo.

Noel crossed the finish.

Noel didn't perform well in the last circuit.

But he defeated Li Aoduo today.

The future star of the Master Racing Team

got second place again.

Lin Zhendong, come on!

[11 Lin Zhendong] Try to be ranked 10th.

It's good to get one point.

Don't worry.

I will let you see the real me.

Lin Zhendong finally found his rhythm at the end of the race segment.

But his performance

[11 Lin Zhendong +7″585] is doomed to be ordinary.

He's trying to surpass the 10th place.

[11 Lin Zhendong +8″582]

Lin Zhendong's getting closer

to the 10th place.

The gap has been narrowed down within one second.

[11 Lin Zhendong +9″210]

Lin Zhendong has tied for the 10th place.

He seems to get his rhythm back.

He used Zhang Chi's cornering skills continuously.

Throughout the second half of the race,

he didn't make any mistakes.

[10 Lin Zhendong +9″057] Lin Zhendong is ranked 10th now.

He's better in the second half.

Yes.

500, straight.

Prepare for a sprint.

Lin Zhendong crossed the final.

Bravo.

He's ranked 10th

and got one point.

Good.

Nice.

But this result

caused him

to fall from the standings to a very unfavorable position.

That's it?

Though Lin Zhendong didn't apply a proper strategy

- for cornering, - I can even drive better than him.

there are still many fans

who have high expectations for him.

But obviously,

Lin Zhendong's rash cornering strategies

didn't bring a better result.

That's it?

As for the adjustment of strategies...

If he keeps driving like that,

just come back to work in the company.

Hong Kuo.

I did it.

I drove it alone.

Racer Lin Zhendong,

congratulations.

Am I

a qualified racer now?

You are not only qualified,

you are in the top ten.

I earned a point by myself.

Thank you.

Welcome back.

Thank you for your hard work.

I finished it.

I got my own point.

You are right.

When I really drove on the track,

each inch of the road

was different from the statistics.

I adjusted in the second half on my own.

You've remedied it.

I'm so excited.

So happy.

Give me a hug.

Give me a hug.

Give me a hug.

No, I can't give you a hug.

I can't.

Fine.

I'm happy.

He's too optimistic.

Fine.

How can you be so optimistic?

Zhendong.

Well,

Ji Xing has some words to say.

Yes.

Right.

If you feel unhappy,

just talk with me anytime.

Okay.

What do you mean?

Have some milk tea.

The milk tea

can make you happy.

Didn't you say I should keep away from these high caloric food?

Ye, you're supposed to say something, right?

Well,

Zhendong,

we all know

that you are not happy.

No, I'm happy.

Why do you all feel that I'm unhappy?

As for the race,

victory and defeat are common.

One can't always win.

Don't push yourself too much.

You mean

the race in the last circuit?

I know the result

wasn't good.

But I'm satisfied.

Is she angry?

No...

As long as...

You are satisfied.

As long as you are satisfied.

As long as you are satisfied.

It's been two circuits.

Two runner-ups.

Do you know

how the journalists commented on us?

They said that our cars are full of technology,

yet we just can't win the games.

They commented that this is the charm of car racing.

I think they are right.

Nonsense.

What I want is not charm

but the result!

If the Master Racing Team

breaks the five consecutive Rookie of the Year records

in your hands,

then you guys truly possess the charm of car racing,

but I will be humiliated.

Next year

may be the last year of my racing career.

I wanted you to succeed me.

Mr. Wei.

The terrain...

Do not find excuses.

Practice more!

Another Lin Zhendong, hi,

without your help,

I got the first point that day

on my own.

To be honest,

I felt good when I crossed

the finish.

And...

Hey, come here.

Was it you who turned off the light?

Lin Zhendong.

Officer Shen?

What

are you planning?

What are you planning?

Close your eyes.

What?

Hurry up.

Now,

I'll present the trophy to Lin Zhendong, the racer of the Speeding Racing Team,

for gaining the first point in his life.

Welcome Lin Zhendong

to accept the trophy.

This...

Hurry.

Come on.

[For the first point, Racer Lin Zhendong]

This trophy...

When I was at your home,

I saw it

on your table.

I know it was your trophy

when you drove the kart

in childhood.

Thanks, Hong Kuo.

Thanks, Officer...

Coach Shen.

I'm glad to see that you surpassed yourself.

In the next circuit,

let's keep going.

Do have faith in yourself.

Come here.

Hurry.

We earned

the point together.

You

contributed 0.5 to this point.

So, we should

hold it together.

Really?

Yes.

Let's keep going

and try to

get a bigger one.

Get a bigger one.

Three.

Two.

One.

Come on, one more.

Good.

Like this.

Three.

Two.

One.

Have a look.

Let's take one together.

Yes, let's take a photo together.

Three.

Two.

One.

Come on, go on.

Come on, Chi.

Come on.

So lively.

Zhang Chi,

you recovered well.

Not bad. I'm practicing.

Xiao.

I was supposed to welcome you.

Why did you come in yourself?

We are not strangers. No need for that.

Come on.

You are a sponsor now.

God of Wealth.

Did you come to give us money?

Have some water?

Upstairs.

You can do it. Come on.

Just do your business.

It hurts.

What do you mean, Xiao?

What do you mean by you can't give the endorsement fee?

Wasn't it approved by the headquarters?

It's not my problem.

Then whose problem?

Lin Zhendong.

What's wrong with Lin Zhendong?

Lin Zhendong didn't perform well in the last circuit.

The shareholders were unhappy with it.

So, they asked me to delay

the sponsorship.

I have to work with them later.

So I don't have any other choice.

Okay, say no more.

I got it.

It's not easy for you.

I understand it.

What to do now?

Well,

I'll keep the cheque for now.

If Lin Zhendong can perform well in the next circuit

and get a good result,

as long as the shareholders have a milder attitude,

I will give you the money.

Thanks, Xiao.

That's a great favor, Xiao.

Okay, gentle.

Your hands that worked on the car are so strong.

I... I don't know what to say.

Xiao, really,

thank you.

Can we not speak like this?

When you were a racer,

and I sold the track oil,

you also helped me a lot.

Without you,

I could never make it.

Say no more.

Okay, say no more.

Really, thanks.

Think about

how to explain to them.

Thanks.

What's wrong?

Did you contact Sun Yuqiang?

No, I haven't seen him for days.

He didn't answer my calls.

Did something happen to him?

Has your leg recovered?

It's been three months.

I did rehabilitation every day.

I'm not disabled.

Shall we go to his home to have a check?

He told his mom that he was working in a 4S store.

Wear a suit

and

have a check.

Ask around, don't get exposed.

Bro,

I didn't tell anyone else

but you.

Mom.

- It's something urgent. - Yeah.

Can you transfer 50,000 yuan to me?

What are you looking at, Yuqiang?

If you don't work hard, you won't earn the money.

Do you want to quit car racing?

Can I call my family first?

Yes.

Or they will be worried, right?

Look,

my fault.

Right away.

No problem.

Come on.

Tell them you are fine.

Send a message to your mom.

[Save me.]

Who's Ji Xing?

Yuqiang.

[Recall]

[Recalling]

Make a phone call

to let them rest assured.

Just call your mom.

Okay?

Don't say anything irrelevant.

Mom.

I...

I found a new job.

Why are you crying?

I just miss my mom.

Alright.

It's safe here.

Tell her you are fine.

[Mom, I found a new job.]

[The superior is kind to me.]

Right.

That's right.

[They offer me accommodation and food, rest assured.]

Okay,

that's it.

Be good.

That's enough.

Now your mom can understand it.

Right?

Good.

Good.

Yuqiang.

Okay,

Yuqiang,

it's time to work hard.

Work hard.

Work hard...

Right.

Come on.

Work.

Aunt, hi.

I don't need insurance.

I'm not selling insurance.

I'm not selling the flat.

I'm not the middleman.

I'm Sun Yuqiang's colleague in the 4S store.

I'm really his colleague in the 4S store.

4S store?

Tell me,

which team?

His dad and I

just went to the 4S store to see him.

He's not working there at all.

He was influenced by you guys.

He hasn't come back for days.

Aunt.

So you haven't seen Sun Yuqiang for days?

He sent me a message

saying that he found a new job.

A new job?

He didn't tell us that he'd quit the team.

Aunt.

Is it a bit strange?

Why?

Yuqiang is not a boy.

He didn't have a career or a wife.

He just hung out with you racers.

What promising future can he have?

Aside from racing, what else can he do to ensure a more promising future?

Again?

Go away.

- Aunt. - Go.

Wait.

Go.

No, Aunt, listen to me.

I really...

You are not welcome here.

Aunt.

Wait, aunt.

The type of AP.

The sound of brake.

The turbine was improved.

Honda Club!

This is the weekly car modification club

of Honda Club on Fridays.

So it should be...

What are you doing here instead of sleeping?

I can't sleep.

So I came to get some fresh air.

Get some fresh air?

Do you go back yourself,

or do you want me to send you back?

I'll go back myself.

Really.

I just wanted to have some fresh air.

Go back.

It's midnight. A night person.

You've been pretty optimistic recently.

No...

But it was my first time to finish a circuit myself,

so I'm in a good mood.

Good.

That's why

I didn't request more from you.

But it's still too early for you to be optimistic.

Look at the result.

[Total points: Li Aoduo 24, NOEL 21, Lin Zhendong 16]

If you

can't secure a top-three position in the next circuit,

you won't stand a chance

this season.

If I fail it,

I'll go home.

Practice more today.

One minute and 24 seconds.

It's not a good sign.

Yeah.

It was one minute and 23 seconds last lap.

Why is it slower?

Full Moon and Scimitar.

Get off and have a check.

I feel the route of Full Moon and Scimitar is a bit strange.

Why is it that the more I practice,

the worse I get?

Zhendong.

Maybe you are too tired from practicing.

Shall we stop here?

It's fine.

Let me do more laps.

I've been practicing for so long.

Why is my performance so unstable?

Could it be that I really can't master the Full Moon and Scimitar?

Full Moon and Scimitar

is not a unique skill.

I even just named it.

It's like

an extreme strategy I concluded.

Even my car has been adapted

to this strategy.

So you mean

the Full Moon and Scimitar is not a key to victory

but a compromise

due to the huge functional gap

between the racing cars?

You may say so.

I think the route is not right.

But we did it

as Zhang Chi taught.

Yes.

He asked me to brake a bit later

and make the turning point

closer to the exit.

But won't it

waste several meters?

[Meter]

I just braked a bit later,

as he told me.

But it got slower.

Indeed.

Do you have a better way?

One more lap.

I will do it again based on my own idea.

[2.6 meters]

One minute and 22 seconds.

It's faster.

I think the route this time is better.

But it's totally different from what Zhang Chi said.

Let's go back to check some references.

Zhendong.

These are

the videos

of the Ningzhou circuit.

The next page contains post-race data.

Okay.

Let's summarize separately.

During these many matches, I'd like to know...

Here.

If there is any racer who drove like Zhang Chi.

Here.

As well as the data on vehicle modification.

Among the 12 matches in the Ningzhou circuit,

only Zhang Chi drove like that.

Okay.

Keep the data here.

I will analyze it later.

You don't look well.

Why don't you go back to have a rest?

I'm off then.

My neck hurts.

Only Zhang Chi applied that strategy.

Others couldn't ensure its result.

Only Zhang Chi's performance was steady.

According to the data,

I should be right.

However...

Just remember this.

As long as you are in the Speeding Racing Team,

don't be distracted,

don't hesitate,

and memorize all the methods and strategies

I taught you

deep in your heart.

Understood.

The consultation results are out.

The patient's

head CT shows

that the cerebral hemorrhage

has been exerting pressure on the nerves,

resulting in arrhythmia

and functional neurological disorder.

If he remains in a coma,

his life will be at stake.

[Heart rate: 120]

Tumor...

Tumor.

I can't keep playing.

I've got a hemorrhage.

Hurry and finish the Rookie Race.

He did a lot of research.

They are all right.

But where is the conclusion?

He used this method in 2027

to push me to risk my life.

It's been only a short time.

Three months.

This guy is a genius.

But why did he throw it away?

It must be Zhang Chi not allowing him to drive like this.

No.

I must give a lesson to myself from five years ago.

Adjust the car's position.

He's indeed grumpy.

Aim to the apex clipping point.

If I were Lin Zhendong,

I wouldn't dare to voice my opinions.

I have to give a lesson to this guy.

Stop.

What new strategy are you using?

What are you doing?

Get off.

What have you done?

Your driving skills were awful.

Yours were awful.

Are you obsessed

with teaching

and educating others?

Lin Zhendong is a genius.

Why are you complimenting yourself?

Your methods were outdated.

Don't mislead others, okay?

My methods were outdated?

I know your thoughts.

You can't drive the car.

So you feel uneasy.

Enough, stop talking about nonsense.

The only link between you

and the racing car is Lin Zhendong.

Do you think you are impressive?

There is less than a week left before the race.

Now, you are disrespecting your mentor?

What kind of a mentor are you?

Let me tell you,

for Lin Zhendong to become the king of racing cars,

he must drive based on his own ideas.

My apprentice, the Lin Zhendong I know,

- will defeat you sooner or later. - Good.

Good.

- He will surely defeat you. - Great.

When he can defeat me,

don't be regretful.

I'm a dog if I regret it.

Good dog.

Good dog...

Lin Zhendong, you must drive

based on your own ideas.

Mission completed.

Who picked it up for me?

Another me,

you drove better than me.

But what's your point?

Are you suggesting that my conclusion was right?

Can I be like Zhang Chi?

Or can I be myself,

Lin Zhendong?
