The car is going very fast, please bear with it.

Xu Kuanxin sighed: "Going to great lengths to break a record is not only dishonorable if you succeed, but it's also extremely embarrassing if you fail."

"It's not cost-effective at all, so it's best to just let this go."

"The lithography industry will not be crippled or fall out of the ranks of the elite because of these online comments, and investors will not reduce their investment because of this trivial matter."

"As for reputation, can a record on a second-rate track compare to winning a top-tier, or even world-class, race?"

Shen Zhuiying nodded: "The manager is right, I think so too."

Zhang Haoran shrugged: "Although I'm a little annoyed, it does make a lot of sense, that's the truth of the matter."

Xu Kuanxin stared intently at Lu Xun, whose face darkened. In the end, Lu Xun could only nod and say, "I understand."

"Let's adjourn the meeting."

The group left.

Lu Xun sat alone in the conference room, his face grim.

He admitted that Hsu Kuan-hsin's analysis made a lot of sense. Considering the entire lithography process, it is indeed true that "if you take it too seriously, you lose," and there is nothing wrong with that.

Even for Shen Zhuiying and Zhang Haoran, making this choice was absolutely the right thing to do.

but···

No, not for him!

No one will underestimate photolithography because of this.

The status of lithography within the industry and its value in the eyes of investors will remain unchanged.

But that doesn't include Lu Xun!

He was the one driving!

He also broke the record.

The person who's now being manipulated by online trolls, ridiculed by the entire internet, and even being labeled the "weakest T1 driver," is none other than him!

It's him, Lu Xun!

This is absolutely a personal stain!

"If this label sticks on me, how am I supposed to survive in this industry? Even if I transfer teams, people will use it as an excuse to lower my value, right?"

"Huff..."

He was breathing heavily, and his eyes were red.

He could understand if the team didn't care.

But he himself could not remain indifferent, much less do nothing.

"General, you have an S-class car? Is that so great?"

"If the team won't help, I'll do it myself!"

"At worst, I won't use the lithography driver identity and race car; I'll just borrow a car and go in my personal capacity."

"What's so great about it?"

"During the break after the next competition, I'll show you who the real champion is!"

「···」

······

Ningjun Auto Repair.

Liu Jun and his companion thought Liu Qian would argue for a while, and were even prepared to be stabbed, but they didn't expect Liu Qian to be so straightforward.

She even urged them to quickly give her bank card number so she could transfer money!

After the two million was transferred, Liu Qian plopped into the car and ran away.

"she···"

"I'm a little confused." Gan Ning confirmed three times that the money had indeed arrived in his account.

But how do we understand this rich woman's previous actions?

Liu Jun shrugged: "That's right, you don't understand it either, I don't understand it either."

"I'm hungry, let's go find a place to eat."

"Okay."

"What do you want to eat today?"

"I want to eat chicken, pickled cabbage chicken or braised rooster?"

"That's called roasted rooster."

"Oh, you mean the same thing. Is it abnormal for people from Chongqing to sometimes not distinguish between retroflex and alveolar consonants when they speak?"

「···」

After the meal.

The two enjoyed a pleasant afternoon nap and also had some midday exercise.

In the afternoon, Gan Ning began to make targeted modifications to the panda.

Tucker 480 has already registered, and this time, the Tucker 480 organizing committee did not block their registration.

Liu Jun guessed that the Heavenly Ladder team probably realized that this method was ineffective, so they were preparing to change their tactics and strategies.

However, as individual drivers, they cannot predict the opponent's moves in advance. They can only do their best in their own preparations and then deal with whatever comes their way.

After all, as long as you can get on the field, you have a chance to win!

It was evening.

Liu Jun suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

He initially thought it was a customer looking to repair or modify their car, but then suddenly realized it was his own phone.

"Hello?"

A pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Driver Strange General?"

Liu Jun: "It's me. And who are you?"

Gan Ning leaned closer and pricked up his ears.

"This is the Tianmen Mountain Racecourse Organizing Committee."

Liu Jun ran through the information in his mind: Tianmen Mountain racetrack?

"I'm sorry, I may be ignorant, I don't have much of an impression of this track."

"Hehe, that's normal. Our Tianmen Mountain track has just been completed and is not officially open yet. It is still in the preparation stage."

"I am calling you today to invite you to the Tianmen Mountain Drift Invitational Tournament next month."

Tianmen Mountain, drifting, invitational tournament?

Seems pretty impressive!

"Tell me more about it?" Liu Jun asked, quite interested.

The other party was even more enthusiastic: "That's right, the Tianmen Mountain Circuit, as the name suggests, is a circuit built within the Tianmen Mountain area, and it's almost entirely mountain roads with curves."

"There are a total of 99 turns, and the only straight section is 300 meters long at the foot of the mountain. Apart from that, the longest straight section is no more than 200 meters. Therefore, it is very suitable for drifting. Tianmen Mountain Circuit is a circuit designed for drifting."

"However, you should know that there are not many domestic racing drivers who specialize in drifting. Therefore, our track organizers have selected some drivers who have had outstanding drifting performances on the track and sincerely invite these drivers to come to our Tianmen Mountain track on the first of next month to participate in this drift invitational tournament."

"As long as you are willing to come, there is a basic guarantee of 50,000 yuan. If you can get a ranking, there will be additional rewards: 888,888 yuan for first place, 550,000 yuan for second place, and 220,000 yuan for third place."

"I see~"

After understanding, Liu Jun became even more interested than before.

To be honest, he knows how to drift, and he's pretty good at it, but that's about it.

It's not particularly strong, much less top-tier.

Or rather, this is the case for most domestic drivers.

There are probably only a handful of professional drivers who specialize in drifting.

When it comes to drifting, you have to go to Xiao Rizi, where drifting is very popular and there are many drifting masters.

In comparison, domestic drifting experts are naturally not as good as those on the other side.

However, this doesn't mean that the drivers are faster or stronger; it just means they have different focuses. And on the same road, drifting isn't necessarily faster than normal cornering; in fact, drifting is often slower.

But drifting is so cool!

Moreover, in some special tracks and sections of road, drifting does have an advantage.

Therefore, Liu Jun wanted to go to the Tianmen Mountain Drift Invitational for a spin.

Putting aside the rankings, being able to compete and exchange ideas with the top drifting masters in the country is also a way to improve one's own skills.

After a brief moment of thought, Liu Jun replied, "Okay, count me in."

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend. We will mail you an invitation immediately."

"In addition, we know that you often do live broadcasts. You can continue to do so as usual. We will not stop you, and we may even provide some traffic support."

After hanging up the phone, Gan Ning pouted and said, "I think she's after our traffic."

"I just wanted to ride the wave of popularity."

Liu Jun smiled and said, "I guess it really is true. But it's good for us to join in the fun and learn some drifting from the experts. It's a win-win situation."

Gan Ning nodded: "That's true."
