Episode 1 recap: Chen Mobai and Shen Xi met for the first time.
Chen Mobai participated in the B-level Formula Racing. Two years ago, he was forced to leave Ruifeng and now he is an independent driver. He can't compete with those drivers who have teams supporting them, but his overall points ranking is high, and he is close to reaching the threshold for the A-level Formula Racing. In this race, Chen Mobai initially fell behind Lu Zhenghao, but later overtook him. However, Lu Zhenghao bumped into him, causing Chen Mobai to fall back to second place.
His teammates were all unhappy and wanted to file an appeal. Chen Mobai thought it was not worth it. The collision just now would be difficult to reach a conclusion through an appeal, and it would cost an additional 20,000 in appeal fees. Chen Mobai believed that in the upcoming races, he should be faster and not give Lu Zhenghao any chance to collide with him. Shen Xi prepared a cold remedy and brought it over to General Fei. General Fei was also watching Chen Mobai's race and seeing him lose, he didn't say anything.
When Chen Mobai left the company years ago, he applied for a maintenance fee, but he never brought the invoice or repaid the money. Every year, the company would come to ask Chen Mobai for the invoice, but each time they couldn't get it back. The administrative department didn't want to handle this task. Shen Xi was unaware of these matters and took over this job.
Shen Xi came to find Chen Mobai, who said he had no money but his life. Shen Xi started calculating the assets of their car dealership and felt that these assets would be enough to cover the expenses. Lu Zhenghao came over and asked Chen Mobai to modify his car, and Chen Mobai quoted a price of 80,000. Lu Zhenghao asked Chen Mobai to compete with him in a race, and Chen Mobai said he would need an additional 20,000 as training fees.
Lu Zhenghao agreed and asked what would happen if Chen Mobai lost. Chen Mobai said that if he lost, he would modify Lu Zhenghao's car for free. Lu Zhenghao proposed a rule: they would send two people to stand on a platform, throw a cloth, and then they would drift their cars. The one who is closest to the platform wins.
Lu Zhenghao designated Shen Xi to be the one throwing the cloth. This race requires a lot of teamwork and coordination, but Shen Xi is not part of Chen Mobai's team and naturally doesn't have much synchronization with him.
Chen Mobai asked Shen Xi for help, promising to repay him if he wins. Shen Xi agreed. Chen Mobai closed his eyes, calculated the optimal distance using various formulas, and threw the cloth at the perfect time, leading Chen Mobai to victory. Lu Zhenghao was very frustrated but had to accept it. Shen Xi received the transfer and even returned the change to Chen Mobai.
When Shen Xi returned home, her mother came and said she had made some dumplings for Shen Xi. Since Shen Xi didn't open the door, her mother left the dumplings at the doorstep, reminding her to remember to eat them. Shen Xi took the dumplings inside but only put them in the refrigerator without eating. She felt that her life had been stagnant for the past two years. Shen Xi went online and posted a high-price offer to buy Shen Chuan's helmet. Someone left a message, claiming to have the helmet and asking for 50,000. They provided an address and asked Shen Xi to bring cash for the transaction.
Chen Mobai also saw the post and knew that the person must have a fake helmet. He found out the location of the transaction and hurried there. Shen Xi inspected the helmet and discovered it was indeed a fake. Unexpectedly, the person suddenly snatched the bag and tried to run away. Shen Xi chased after him, and Chen Mobai arrived in time to retrieve the money. Chen Mobai's shoulder was hit by a stick from the person, but he didn't say anything.
Shen Xi was relieved that they got the money back and decided to leave the helmet there, thinking that the person might come back for it. Shen Xi thanked Chen Mobai and went back home.
