Fairytale Shelf Life [MTL]

Ch 85

Chapter 85 : The vinegar king

Song Zhi, is talented enough to work hard, coupled with the blessing of Zhou Yanchao's ability, it gave her practical conditions that others did not have.

She was only a freshman, and she actually participated in the 24 years of Formula Student Racing (FSAE). The braking system of the participating cars in this school year was innovatively designed by her.

This brake system is more sensitive and more stable in the test, especially in high-speed sprint races, the effect of "late braking and cornering" is outstanding.

In the midsummer of July, Song Zhi was honored to be a participant, and he will attend the design defense project of the competition and give a presentation on the braking system.

Although every part of a racing car is indispensable, for any level of formula racing, the most important three are aerodynamics, engine and chassis design.

Perhaps, on the F1 track where microseconds count, this difference can sometimes play a key role; but for the relatively basic FSAE, the brake innovation actually has an advantage in the "literary test" of the defense.

In obstacle races, endurance races, and high-speed sprint races, which are real "martial arts" competitions, the difference in the braking performance of each team's racing cars usually has little impact on the race results.

Even so, the entire team of T University still attaches great importance to Song Zhi.

After all, it is precisely because of this "Xingzhi" princess that their budget this year is almost twice that of last year, and the performance of the whole car has been greatly improved.

T University has missed the championship for three consecutive years before, and has been beaten by the "green team" of the United States every year. They had a hunch that this year, it would be a turnaround battle for Big T!

In terms of love, they should support the "golden father"; in terms of reason, they should also "not give up a single point".

Including Zhou Yan, Zhou Yichan, Chen Yan, and the sisters in the two dormitories, they were all very concerned about Song Zhi's first battle.

Zhou Yan invited a few girls as the host, and directly formed a support group for her. Of course, he himself vacated this week's schedule early in the morning.

He fulfilled his promise and no longer missed every important moment of his daughter.

The official competition begins with the vehicle inspection. "Formula racing", as the name suggests, is to build cars and compete under certain rules.

Every year, some fleets spend a whole year building cars with untold hardships, but they fail in the first step of the car inspection. You know, there was a team before that lost the qualification for the day's competition because the noise was too high and did not meet the standard.

And missing a day of competition, and then wanting a good ranking is tantamount to a dream.

This year, the T-sized cars have been upgraded a lot and changed a lot. The car inspection is the biggest difficulty for them.

In particular, it was the first time for Song Zhi to participate in the competition. During the car inspection, she was more nervous than the college entrance examination. She held her breath the whole time, tensed to the limit, and whenever someone around her spoke, she nervously raised her index finger and said "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The captain of the team was shocked by her queenly aura, and the support group led by Zhou Yan was even more arrogant.

Finally, two hours later, they were notified that they had passed the vehicle inspection and could participate in the race!

Song Zhichang breathed a sigh of relief, and the next step is to look at the drivers' "late braking skills" in endurance races and sprint races.

As long as their car can perform better than other schools when cornering, she is sure to beat the opponent in the defense statement.

The girl's highly nervous appearance caught Captain Ren Xiao's eyes and aroused his great curiosity.

He couldn't help asking: "As a freshman, why are you more nervous than us veterans who are going to be unemployed after graduation? Is it because you participated in design?" Usually, if you don't participate in design in your freshman year, you will be nervous when you participate in FSAE in the first year

. More excitement than tension.

Only those veterans who have been in the team for many years and gave up various internship opportunities will care more about the results of the competition. Because the better the performance of the team, the more luster you can add to your resume, and you can find a good place to go after leaving the team.

In Ren Xiao's view, with Song Zhi's talent, hard work and family background, the future can be seen to be smooth and bright.

Moreover, she was able to create innovative designs in the first year, surpassing 99% of the students in the same major. Even if there is no result in the end, the flaws are not concealed, and there is no need to worry about internal friction.

Song Zhi guessed the captain's doubts.

Her eyes flickered slightly: "Because, I want to apply to Clarfield in my junior year, and then I will fight for the position of assistant engineer at Ferrari. So—"

Song Zhi looked at Ren Xiao, and made no secret of his ambition: "Captain, you have to go all out later. I only have two years for FSAE. Within two years, I will achieve results, preferably the championship."

Ren Xiao was taken aback for a moment.

How many people dedicate their entire youth to FSAE may not have a champion. It takes half their life to squeeze into F1 in Vanity Fair. In the end, they often have to start struggling with a small team that never knows whether they can continue to stay in the F1 paddock next year.

Only the "Xingzhi" princess in front of me dared to say domineeringly that she would start as an assistant engineer at Ferrari!

Such a fantasy plan, but Ren Xiao actually felt that the person in front of him could do it.

"OK!"

The boy suddenly smiled, "I will convey the princess' order to the entire team!"

As the "angel investor" of the team, Song Zhi was not polite: "That's right, this kind of morale is what I want."

The girl was bold and frank She is open and aboveboard without underestimating herself. After hearing her ambition, all the team members praised her as "dominant".

Immediately, the entire team was full of ambition and eager to try.

With Song Zhi's encouragement, everyone cheered up and prepared to show their talents.

However, no one expected—

before the endurance race, their driver suddenly suffered from dysentery and had more than one diarrhea. Not to mention driving a racing car, just sitting like this gives me abdominal pain and fatigue.

When the team leader asked, he found out that the driver was not acclimatized to the environment, and he caught cold from the air conditioner, and had mild diarrhea last night.

But because this was his first time participating in FSAE, he didn't want to give up, and he was nervous and physically weak before going on stage, so his symptoms broke out instead.

The driver change is within the scope of the event, but this driver was originally their secret weapon.

He has been a go-kart enthusiast since he was a child, and the car experience that he burned out is unmatched by anyone in the team. Therefore, when designing the car, the team specially made a lot of fine-tuning for him, aiming to maximize the value of this driver.

Right now, he has no choice but to change other drivers, and his strength must be greatly reduced.

Losing the fastest and most stable driver, the morale of the team plummeted instantly.

It's not good to go to the game like this to go out before the victory. Song Zhi pondered for a moment

, and seeing her teammates discussing who to replace, she suddenly raised her hand and introduced herself: "Captain, everyone, can I replace you?"

Look at Song Zhi.

And she did not show timidity, and immediately counted the reasons calmly and arrogantly:

"First, I participated in the entire car design, and I understand this car." "

Second, the absent driver is thin, and we took risks in terms of car weight. Adjustment, it will only be more beneficial for me to replace him as the lightest girl." "

The third and most important thing is that I learn from F1 racing driver Chen Yan, and my car feeling and driving skills are absolutely guaranteed."

The girl has a clear logic , and finally added: "I learned to drift on the first day I touched the car, and no one is better at late braking and cornering than me. It just so happens that I also want to personally test the braking performance of my design on the track." Song

Zhi Full of aura: "I have confidence, I am definitely the best candidate."

Last year, although she missed the driver selection because of her father, she did not give up practicing because of this.

Practice is the best way to test the design. She always feels that only engineers who have a certain sense of car skills can make better cars. So as long as she is free, she will go to the club to practice drag racing.

In an FSAE, is there anything cooler than the designer himself driving the car and verifying its performance?

Captain Ren Xiao was moved by Song Zhi almost instantly.

He believes that having Song Zhi personally drive a few rounds shows their rigorous design, and there is a great chance to gain points in the defense. What's more, last year's driver selection took place at the initiative of this girl, and her previous test performance was indeed qualified.

He immediately made a final decision: "Okay! Then let's take a chance and change to Song Zhishang!"

The news of the replacement of the big T driver quickly spread among the participating universities.

After Song Zhi's name appeared on the list, there was a lot of discussion at the competition site:



"Wow, T University actually temporarily replaced their No. 1 driver with the princess 'Xingzhi'. Is this the power of capital?!" How much money did the eldest princess spend to get into the team???"

"No, I heard that their No. 1 driver had some problems before they changed. The other team members who can arrange the project have already arranged it. In fact, only Song Zhi It's the backup driver."

"Hey! The backup driver is only dispatched as a last resort, and the big T is not that far, so everyone knows." "

Not necessarily. After all, the princess's boyfriend is Chen Yan, maybe she is Secret weapon?"

"Impossible! If it was a secret weapon, it would already be on the driver list, how could it be temporarily replaced..."

Speculations and doubts flooded in, and most people were not very optimistic about Song Zhi's appearance.

Even the teammates of the big T team are actually worried.

It is true that Song Zhi has some talents, and he drove the test car with style. But during the test drive, I don't know if she kept it on purpose, or she was only passing the standard, and her performance was not amazing.

At this moment, the captain took the risk to support her as the No. 1 driver, and it was a bit of a desperate attempt during the school year when the car was changed so much.

But, as a team, they are also willing to give Song Zhi a chance.

In the obstacle avoidance race later, everyone will be happy if she performs well, if not, then change the driver in tomorrow's sprint race.

The opponent questioned, the teammates held their breath, and all the pressure fell on Song Zhi in an instant.

Before the game, Zhou Yan, Zhou Yichan and her roommates gave her a thumbs up to cheer her up. Even Chen Yan, who was about to start F1 qualifying in France, took the time to call her.

Song Zhi is in the United States, and the boy is in France.

Across the entire ocean, they were all wearing fire-resistant racing suits at the same time, one red and one blue.

As soon as the video was connected, Song Zhi said with a smile: "Does this count as the first time we wear couple shirts?" The

brisk tone caught his ears, and Chen Yan's eyes lightly lifted: "It's the first official car racing, it seems that a certain young lady It's really not that tense."

"It's just a small competition."

Song Zhi was proud and arrogant, "I don't even look at who my master is, the famous Ferrari F1 driver, okay!"

Chen Yan smiled at her: "Don't embarrass the master. A group of amateurs FSAE, close your eyes and take them down."

"Of course!" Song Zhi said confidently.

After a slight pause, she asked him in turn: "Chen Yan, how about you? Are you nervous?"

In the new season, there is something wrong with the design of Ferrari's car, and the speed on the long straight is not enough every time.

Due to limited hardware, Chen Yan was unable to use his driving skills at all, and was unfortunately stuck in the fourth and fifth positions for several consecutive games.

"There is a problem with the car. The engineers and the team manager are the ones who are nervous. Why am I nervous?"

Chen Yan was not at all impatient. He said, "Miss, I will wait for your triumphant return."

Under the same sky, they looked at each other and smiled:

"See you at the end."

"See you at the end."

After a tacit agreement, the two hung up the video and rushed to their respective battlefields.

Chen Yan started this week's qualifying round, while Song Zhi started her first race of her entire career.

In FSAE's high-speed obstacle avoidance race, low bollards are placed on both sides of the track. As the name suggests, drivers need to avoid these bollards while driving the car at high speed.

The final score is scored based on speed. Of course, if you hit a road pile, you will be deducted points.

Both running at high speed and dodging obstacles are the most demanding items for drivers in all FSAE.

Song Zhi went into the race temporarily and did not know the track in advance, so she drove relatively steadily in the first two laps.

After all, the speed is easy to chase, but the points deducted from bumping piles can't be recovered no matter what.

"Ah... It really is the ability to bring funds into the team. T University has gone wrong this year, and our team's results have stabilized!

" Let's do it ourselves, it should be faster."

"It's the first time I've seen a female racer! Although she's not amazing, she's already ranked fifth and sixth, which is pretty good!" The audience began to draw conclusions, thinking that

Song Zhi was only at an upper-middle level.

No one expected - after the third lap, the blue figure on the track suddenly began to speed up.

Seeing her pass by the pile, the entire team members of the T team were sweating, but the pile was not knocked down.

The girl is just flying on piles, and this is of course allowed within the rules-a few drivers with good driving skills will shorten the time by pressing piles when cornering.

Song Zhi is one of the few.

After getting familiar with the track, she got used to the car almost, and she was able to step on the fastest line almost every lap after that.

"Fuck! This big T car is so fast!"

"Forget it, the key is still dead! I feel that there is no deviation in her wiring every lap... Awesome!

" The secret weapon???"

"Damn! It's getting faster and faster. If there is no problem with this year's car, there is such a bug driver. Their championship is really stable..."

Everyone loves a bloody counterattack, and in an instant , the whole arena was boiling.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the only focus of the girl in the arena.

During the final sprint lap, the entire T team stood up, and the moment Song Zhi stopped the car, they all rushed up and embraced her.

They knew that with Song Zhi's level, he would only bring infinite surprises to this battle.

A group of boys tossed the girl away, and all the words they said were combined into one sentence: "Long live the princess!"

And their premonition was right.

Song Zhiben is talented, and she is taught by a top F1 racing driver like Chen Yan. Her strength far surpasses these amateur students. She also participated in the design of the whole car, and perfectly brought out the best character of the car. In the FSAE field, it was the first time that someone really drove the car to the limit.

The combination of people and vehicles is nothing more than that.

In the summer of 2024 in California, the FSAE track was amazed by a blue shadow.

She made a temporary rescue and fell from the sky, but she almost won the championship of all racing events.

In the midsummer of a foreign country, the female college student driver who amazed the audience was lifted into the air by a group of teenagers with high spirits after winning the championship.

What could be more eye-catching than this?

What's more, this female driver is still the princess of "Xingzhi", and she is dating the hottest F1 star Chen Yan.

Not surprisingly, Song Zhi became famous on the Internet because of this gallant racing on the FSAE.

——What a cool sister! Is FSAE so voluptuous now? This level of racing is really something!

——Wow, Shuai Fei! Kill me! Within three minutes, I want to know all the information about this female driver!

——Who else doesn't know the princess "Xingzhi"? Bringing funds into the team directly doubled T University's car-making budget for this year, his father is Zhou Yan, and his boyfriend is an F1 racing driver! The most amazing thing is that not only did she drive the car well, but she also designed the brake system in her freshman year, and she also won the first place in the design defense this year!

——Rich, good-looking, capable, both civil and military, young and puppy love, a proper winner in life [like][like]

——Zhizhibaby! Break up with Chen Yan, come to my sister's arms!

Song Zhi's racing video became an instant hit, causing heated discussions on the Internet, and he seemed to be a new celebrity this summer.

In addition to these false names, Song Zhi also made many new friends—colleagues from universities around the world.

And, also added a little trouble.

There are a lot of people who are popular. Although the whole world knows that Song Zhi has a boyfriend, some people still don't care.

In this FSAE competition, the second place is a European university. Their team has a new Middle East Petroleum driver, and this year's car has also made a qualitative leap. It was very hopeful to win the championship, but in the end it was defeated by Song Zhiyiqi's racing skills.

Her extraordinary strength and valiant demeanor made this Middle Eastern young man fall in love at first sight.

On the day of the awards ceremony, Xiao Kai piloted a helicopter to confess his love on the spot, and it rained roses for three full minutes, which was extremely exaggerated and could be called a hardcore romance.

Song Zhi fled in embarrassment, but Xiao Kai became more frustrated and courageous, and flew directly to China, launching a frenzied pursuit offensive.

High profile and Mary Sue.

It's not a big deal for everyone to watch the excitement, so Chen Yan, who is thousands of miles away, receives a lot of real-time broadcasts almost every day——

Petroleum Xiaokai airlifted his out-of-print modified sports car from Dubai to ask Song Zhi to test drive; Get the top-quality gems and give them to Song Zhi to play on the car paint; Song Zhi wants to test the car's stable performance in rainy weather, but Xiao Kai thinks of some way, and actually applies for a rain bomb, which directly drops a manual for her. Yu; he even said that he was discussing cooperation with Zhou Yan, and wanted to open up the "Xingzhi" market in the Middle East...

and so on, with pictures and texts appearing on Chen Yan's mobile phone every day.

Even car fans left messages to ridicule him:

"Brother Yan, if you don't work hard,

you will lose to Brother Capital!" Will the champion consolidate the position of the lower palace?"

The commotion was too loud, the whole world knew Xiao Kai's fanaticism towards Song Zhi.

Chen Yan said "stunning" and "not to be afraid of", but in fact, he started to contact his girlfriend frequently every morning, middle and evening.

In the morning, he played a video for Song Zhi while exercising in the morning.

As soon as Song Zhi opened his eyes, he saw her boyfriend squatting half naked, with blue blood vessels protruding from his arm, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and said to her, "Zhizhi, good morning.

" What is in the small pop-up window of the webpage...!

After laughing, Song Zhi pretended not to see the boy's intentions, half-closed his eyes and complained: "Uh, boyfriend, I'm deliberately greasy."

At noon, Chen Yan changed into a crisp white T and black trousers, and walked on the plane Call her down.

The young man Qinglang asked her considerately: "Miss, did you have a good time this morning? Is there anything bothering you? Do you have any interesting plans for the afternoon?"

Song Zhi thought for a while, then nodded: "It's really a bit annoying."

"What?" Chen Yan's voice was gentle, "Tell me and let your boyfriend help you share the burden." "

Annoying man chased me to the convoy today, exaggeratingly saying that he bought me an island and invited everyone from the convoy I'm going on vacation."

Song Zhi sighed, seemingly helpless, "Boyfriend, I'm really troubled, what should I do?" "

Wait a minute."

Chen Yan was silent for a moment, and he said, "Next week the Morocco Grand Prix , I invite your entire team to come and see the scene. VIP private room, four days and three nights travel as a bonus, free consumption in hotels and restaurants in the city."

Song Zhi raised his eyebrows, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Chen Xiaogou, what are you going to do? Did you spend your money?"

"Hmm." The boy said unhappily, "If someone wants to play, brother can play with him."

Seeing his high fighting spirit, Song Zhi told him amusedly: "I'm just kidding you. Don't worry. Well, I have blocked this person completely. And everyone knows that we are together, and no one will be bought by him. So—" She looked

at the boy, and said with a twisted eye: "Chen Grand Racer, don't fight eight times a day. This video is so sticky!"

Hearing this, Chen Yan's mood really improved.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said happily, "Really? Then tell me, how did your girlfriend block you from all directions?"

Song Zhi rolled his eyes and replied, "Probably the same as blocking you last summer."

Last summer, she also played Zhou Yichan.

The young man who was kept in the dark, before he had time to confess his love, his WeChat number was deleted and blacklisted.

Those two nights are still fresh in my memory.

When Song Zhi mentioned this matter, he deliberately teased him, to see how embarrassed he was.

Unexpectedly—

the young man is not ashamed but proud: "Miss, you see, I am more patient and persistent." He said, "Even if you are blocked by you in all directions, I will continue to follow you with my heart By your side."

He was actually still comparing himself with that petty oilman.

Song Zhi felt inexplicably sweet: "Chen Yan, you are so cute."

And Chen Yan said: "Zhizhi, I miss you."

Song Zhi was stunned.

The young man took the opportunity to seduce her: "Take a week off and come to see my race this week, okay?"

The Ferrari is not doing well this year, the strategy team made mistakes again and again, and Chen Yan made a pitiful look again.

Song Zhi's heart softened, she nodded, and flew to Morocco overnight.

So, in the following week—

car fans first witnessed that Chen Yan drove the car on the narrow track in Morocco. After being violated by his opponent and knocked down to only three tires, he also miraculously won the third place. Finish the game.

After two full months, he finally brought Ferrari back to the podium by himself!

The fans were wondering why the teenager was so aggressive all of a sudden, but they saw him rushing to his girlfriend immediately after the game, holding the girl's hand, and leaning down to kiss the couple's tail ring on her finger.

And, in the following interview, the three sentences were inseparable from Qingmei's girlfriend.

Not only that, Chen Yan's Twitter, which was about to fall into ashes, also suddenly revived this week. Like the rising tide of spring rain, there are a few better ones every day.

Today, I will share the cufflinks, shirts, and wristbands that my girlfriend chose for him; tomorrow I will PO my girlfriend and his couple outfits, couple sports cars; finally, I even showed a photo of my girlfriend kissing sweetly... For this, some fans commented

hotly :

"Xiaoyou knows that you are sweet and loving, and your wife only has you in her eyes. Fuck! Chen Yan, you are almost done, the majority of single dogs are innocent, and indiscriminate shooting is prohibited!" Song Zhi lay on the private beach in the Mediterranean Sea,

watching Gotta giggle. He turned sideways, pushed his sunglasses and said to the young man, "Chen Yan

, do you know what your behavior is called in China?

" , with a flash of slyness in his eyes, he said, "It's called conspicuous bag." "What do you mean?" Chen Yan put his hand on her waist. Song Zhi groaned, and suppressed a smile: "Probably, it's almost like a peacock spreading its tail."









"Really?" Chen Yan said lightly, and suddenly picked her up from the reclining chair.

Song Zhi exclaimed: "Why!" Chen Yan

put it into practice: "The peacock unfolds."

What do you mean by peacock spreading its tail?"

The words "disgraceful" have not yet been uttered.

Chen Yan bowed her head suddenly, blocking all her words and laughter.

From the lips to the back of the ear, Song Zhi heard him say, "Please, I."

From evening to late night.

Song Zhi realized a profound truth: Chen Yan, the jealous king, and Chen Yan, the racing driver, are even more fierce and difficult to touch.
