You've Gotten Pretty Good

Blurb: There are few things racing drivers fear. They aren't afraid of Yanjing Road on a rainy day, or Dihuli Lake, which is four meters wide. They're afraid of the mechanics on their racing teams. Lu Chengshan, chief engineer. A fierce-looking face, muscles like cords, messy hair, filthy clothes, and eyes sharp as blades. Four words are stamped on his forehead: overwhelming bloodline pressure. Pei Song is the team's new racing driver, barely in his twenties, bouncing around like a monkey from Mount Emei. Today he persuades the tuning crew to install a huge rear wing: “What's the point of modifying a car without a big wing?” Tomorrow he's off to the GT crew, trying to convince them: “Who needs ABS? Real men lock their wheels themselves!” The day after that, he rounds up the motorcycle crew for an exhilarating mountain ride, shouting at the top of his lungs: “Straight-line speed is real speed! Anyone can take a corner! Engineer Lu's off today! If you're my brother, come beat me up!” At last, Lu Chengshan catches him red-handed, grabs him by the collar, and says, “Pei Song, look at you, getting cocky.” * Reader's guide: 1.
