I became financially independent right after entering college.

Chapter 92 Track Day Event

After shopping, the two did not go anywhere else and went straight back to the hotel upstairs.

Kim Hyo-joo was "unwell" and shouldn't be doing strenuous exercise after just losing her virginity. Bai Chou was too lazy to move, and besides, it wasn't appropriate to leave his girlfriend at the hotel and go out alone.

Fortunately, the presidential suite at the Ritz-Carlton is large enough, covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters. Living in such a large flat in the city center, doing nothing is also a kind of entertainment.

In addition, the two are in the honeymoon period, and couples in honeymoon period are happy no matter what they do.

When I returned to the hotel, the room had already been cleaned up by the staff: all the 9999 roses in the living room, such as those on the sofa and coffee table that affected normal home life, had been cleared away, leaving only a very small number of roses for decoration.

This is romance, spending a lot of money and time doing something that is essentially meaningless in exchange for a moment of emotion.

Without doing anything else, the two of them just snuggled up to each other and lay on the sofa in the living room, chatting and watching TV programs together.

Occasionally we would whisper in each other's ears, occasionally we would talk and murmur about the content on TV. If this young actor's acting skills were not good, I could still take his place, and that director was a piece of shit and had a lot of negative information, blah blah.

These are things that normal couples would do.

In the evening, the housekeeper Grace brought up the framed sketch. Bai Chou's sketch was just an ordinary sketch that could be completed using a machine in about two or three hours.

But such an ordinary sketch has a completely different meaning in the eyes of Kim Hyo-joo.

Holding the framed sketch, Kim Hyo-joo looked at it again and again with great joy, liking it beyond words. To Kim Hyo-joo, this painting was more important than the 20 that Bai Chou gave her today.

This is a portrait that Bai Chou drew for her personally after they had a special night together. It is also a very beautiful painting.

The meaning of this romance is completely different from top luxury hotels and shopping.

Luxury hotels, roses, shopping, Bai Chou only paid money. It is not to say that money is not important, of course it is important, but Bai Chou did not "work hard" in these romantic activities.

This painting is a masterpiece that Bai Chou has truly spent time and effort on. Compared with other romantic works, it is even rarer.

A rare masterpiece, naturally worthy of being loved.

Kim Hyo-joo held the painting and looked at it repeatedly with sparkling eyes, while Bai Chou sat aside and reconciled the accounts with Grace to settle the extra expenses incurred so far.

The arrangement and purchase of roses, painting supplies, framing... all the miscellaneous items including labor costs totaled more than 50,000 yuan.

Without going into too much detail, after Bai Chou paid by credit card, he assigned Grace a new task based on the principle of using it to the fullest: to help him book the Wanchi Circuit in advance, at least for a few time periods.

Bai Chou, who had been to the racetrack with his cousin two years ago, was very familiar with the situation in the racetrack, as well as some rules and unspoken rules.

Bai Chou, who plans to go to the track during the National Day holiday, prefers to book the entire track for various reasons, as it doesn't cost much anyway.

Many people imagine racetracks as something incredibly impressive and exclusive: Porsches, Niobrara, and the like gallop freely around the track, while the wealthy second generation of racing enthusiasts revel in the excitement as if they were attending a grand banquet.

But in reality, all the racetracks open to the public in the world are makeshift, at least during the public days when they are open to the public.

Even at the renowned Nürburgring Nordschleife, the majority of the track during public days are dominated by German scumbags like BMWs, not Nissan and Renault. The Jiangsu Wanchi Circuit is even worse, where, for example, Bai Chou's heavily modified, nine-owner BMW M2 is considered a relatively high-end car, while on public days, the majority are "performance cars" like Honda Civics, JDM cars, older BMWs, and even track-ready SUVs.

Porsche 911 is extremely rare, and Niu Malun may not get one for ten days or half a month.

If the entire track is not booked, Bai Chou will have to race on the track with more than a dozen other cars in the same period: he will need to overtake slow cars constantly, and he may not be able to make flying laps for several sections.

In addition, there is another unspoken rule on the racetrack: if there is a car accident, everyone has to repair it separately, and traffic laws do not apply on the racetrack.

Even if a GT3RS worth millions collides with a Southeast Lingshou worth tens of thousands, as long as the other party does not intentionally crash the car to the extent that judicial intervention is required, each car will repair its own car.

No one can guarantee that they won't miss a spin while lap-ing the track. Furthermore, even if the racetrack staff explain various precautions to the drivers before the start, how much can those track novices who just want to join in the fun remember?

Taking all factors into consideration, booking the entire venue and setting lap times by oneself is actually a more cost-effective option for Bai Chou.

There are no slower cars blocking your way, so you can fly wherever you want. You won’t have to worry about getting your car repaired because of a newbie’s stupid mistakes.

But the world does not revolve around Bai Chou. After contacting Jiangsu Wanchi Circuit, Grace did not bring back good news for Bai Chou.

"Mr. Bai, I'm afraid I have to tell you some bad news. During the National Day holiday, there will be activities at the Wanchi Circuit almost every day.

Except for the 5th and 6th, the Wanchi Circuit has various track day activities every day and is booked out early.

They said that considering they had to leave some time slots open to the public, they could only give us four hours on the afternoon of the 6th.

Bai Chou frowned slightly. He hadn't thought this through. He hadn't expected Wan Chi's business to be so booming during the National Day holiday. He could only book the place for one afternoon even though he had booked it half a month in advance.

"Forget it, just one afternoon. Please book the afternoon time slot on the 6th for me."

Bai Chou didn't plan to go to the morning of the 6th and the 5th. Wan Chi would always reserve one or two days for public opening unless he could offer a very high price.

But even if he paid a high price to get a time slot on the 5th, it would not make much sense: one day is still too short to maintain the car in the best condition after violent driving.

"Ok."

Grace paused, then smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, if you don't want to share a track with so many slow cars, perhaps we at the Ritz-Carlton can help you."

"What do you mean?" Bai Chou suddenly became energetic.

Grace continued, "We just found out that Jiangsu Wanchi is having a small-scale track day event on October 10nd. The registration requirement is that you must be driving a high-performance car with a Su A license plate and a landing price of over 2 million yuan.

As far as I know, the number of people signing up for this track event is not too large, which means there won’t be too many slow cars on the track.

If you happen to have a car that meets the requirements, we may be able to sign you up for this track day.”

"Great Grace, sign me up for this track day."
