98. Simple is often the most effective
The process of celebrating birthdays is lively. For Levi, he doesn't care too much whether it is lively or not. He basically doesn't go out of his way to remember the people he has come into contact with. For ordinary relatives and friends, Mai Qiongshan will only introduce them casually, but if
Mai Tian is her father, and her biological brother Mai Zhiwen also needs to be introduced.
Mai Zhiwen seemed to be in a bad mood today. As the son of Maitian, he was the most enthusiastic host for this birthday party. But whether it was for the Li family or other guests, his hospitality was easily let down.
People feel bad when they see behind.
His son McGrady, even if he is eating, drinking and having fun, it is not a matter of a day or two, and he will not be angry at this time. It should be like Wenwen said, it was Mai Weiting who specifically chose to bring a Chinese-Japanese mixed-race boyfriend back today to tell him
, making it difficult for him to gather together, and he could only suppress it if he was in a bad mood.
Cousins usually have their own careers and rarely have the opportunity to meet and chat. This birthday banquet is also an opportunity for social interaction. After congratulating the old man on his birthday, everyone communicates more with each other and deepens their relationship.
Starting from the afternoon, relatives and friends left one after another. In the end, only a few people from his own family were left. Even so, McGee's son Maddie felt bored. After attending his grandfather's birthday party, he left early to play on his own.
; Daughter Mai Weiting also left first on the excuse of sending her boyfriend back to the hotel.
With no outsiders left, Mai Zhiwen complained bitterly and scolded these two bastards for being ignorant.
The birthday boy Maitian was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Young people should have a young world. Letting them chat with us will make them boring. Weiss, Wenwen, you don't have to be formal. Go first.
Let’s play.”
"Dad, you are too doting on these young people." Mai Zhiwen complained. He felt that his father spoiled his son and daughter, but he didn't know that his father felt that he had not taught her well.
For Mai Qiongshan, it is very rare for her daughter and son to have the patience to stay with the guests for so long today. Especially Levi's, which can be regarded as a great honor. Now that he heard his father's words, he also said: "You guys go back first.
, Weiss went to do his own thing, and Wenwen went back to do her homework."
Children always like lively things and are still very interested in being guests. When they reach their teens and adolescence, they delay spending time with adults. When people in their twenties enter the society, they are no longer interested in being guests, but instead consider favors.
interests, etc.
Li Weiwen is at the age of puberty. If today was not her grandpa’s birthday, she would not be willing to come to such an occasion. **** heard her grandpa and mother say so, and if she was granted amnesty, she left immediately, and then pulled Levi away.
.
"Brother, what did grandpa say to you when he left you alone?" Li Weiwen did not sit in the back. She sat in the passenger seat next to Levi and immediately expressed the questions in her heart.
Levis glanced at her and said, "It's none of your business, kid, don't be such a bitch."
"Who has a child? Humph, I can find out even if you don't tell me..."
Just as they were talking, a luxury sports car stopped beside them with a swish.
Both of them turned their heads and looked over, seeing Maddie driving the car and a hot girl sitting next to him.
"Cousin Wenwen, cousin Li. Hello, you two!" Maddie greeted with a smile.
Li Weiwen laughed loudly: "I said Cousin Maddie, what do you mean? When did you become so polite?"
"Cousin Li, I heard that you have played with cars before. Are you interested in racing? I'm looking forward to it. I'm waiting here specially for you to come out. Fortunately, I didn't come out with my aunt and the others." Maddie said this.
Sometimes, my eyes are a little excited.
He was just in his early twenties, a few years younger than Levi. He used to hear his parents compare and lecture him with his uncle's ex-wife's son who was not doing a serious job, saying that he was so busy eating, drinking and having fun that he was admitted to the University of Hong Kong but could not graduate.
Over time, McGrady basically fully understood Levi's various bad habits. But when he became freer and more independent, he couldn't help but follow this negative example. This was something that no one knew or expected.
Spending money like water, hanging out with friends to eat, drink and have fun. McGrady thinks he will not lose to Levi's. When it comes to picking up girls, he feels that he is also quite strong. But these are not easy to compare directly, and it takes time to witness. Drag racing is different.
How long it takes will determine victory or defeat, and there are direct standards to measure victory or defeat.
Therefore, when he knew that Levi's would also come, he thought about how to create an opportunity to compete with this negative example that had affected him a lot. Today he did not go out to play first, but was afraid that Levi's would leave early.
, so I drove and waited outside. Now I saw the two of them coming out of the house. My aunt and uncle didn't come out together. It was a rare opportunity, so he appeared immediately.
Before Levi could speak, Li Weiwen had already rushed to say: "A seven-digit car and a six-digit car, cousin, you are really good at taking advantage, aren't you?"
"The car is not a problem, I can find a car of the same level right away.^ Cousin Li, what brand and model are you used to driving?" McGrady took out his mobile phone, "If you want to go back and drive your own car, that's fine, I'll accompany you.
You go back."
Levis finally spoke: "No, just for fun, this car will do." He patted the steering wheel.
McGrady's smile froze for a moment, and then he continued to smile: "Haha, okay, if you are too lazy to change, then I will change a car. It will be very soon, and I won't let you wait..."
"No, that's it. The street is not as good as the track, and technology is sometimes more important than performance. You and I don't need to change cars, let's get started!"
Li Weiwen has always wanted to experience the feeling of racing, but Levi never took her to play with him. She was a little younger in the past, and now he is no longer keen on playing cars, which she has always regretted.
Now that she had such an opportunity, she immediately fastened her seat belt excitedly, and then shouted: "Cousin, hurry up!"
McGrady felt a little embarrassed. He didn't see what kind of car Levis drove when he came here, so he didn't consider this issue. Now, this is equivalent to saying that a 100,000-class car can surpass his million-class sports car.
"Well, I don't take advantage of the car, just the technology. Uh...starting from Sheung Wan. Walk through Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, North Point, and end at Taikoo Shing." After McGrady finished speaking, he immediately started the car.
Be ready to leave at any time.
Wheatfield's home is on Hong Kong Island, and the route McGrady just mentioned basically covers the most prosperous area of Hong Kong Island. Generally, drag racing will choose a road with less traffic, and will also choose a time when there is less traffic at night. Travel in broad daylight
In the most prosperous road sections, the space for performance of the car is limited, and it relies more on technology and luck.
"No need to go to so much trouble, just go from here to Sheung Wan...Wing Lok Street. Whoever gets there first wins." After Levis finished speaking, he started the car and left without letting him say more.
McGrady was very unconvinced. The traffic flow on the road from here to Sheung Wan was limited, and his sports car would still take advantage of it. But since Levi's didn't care, he stopped talking, held his breath, and prepared to use
I sealed his mouth with my strength. I beat him first and then made demands. The two cars left Mai's house one after the other.
Although the streets in this section are not as familiar as McGrady's, Levi's was very confident in his own skills, so he did not let Li Weiwen, who had fastened her seat belt, get off the car. And his keen calculation of data allowed him to clearly calculate McGrady's
The speed of the car and the difference between the two cars.
McGrady, who had the advantages of geographical location and car performance, naturally needed to win for sure, and win beautifully. So he made rapid progress all the way, walking through the streets in a very gorgeous posture, and even came here at several familiar turns.
A few drifts made the hot girl next to him scream with excitement, attracting the attention of nearby pedestrians.
On the contrary, Levi's is just average. There are no flashy moves at all, and he seems to be very relaxed. Sitting next to him, Li Weiwen originally wanted to experience the excitement of drag racing, but now it feels like it is too smooth, except for the speed.
Other than that, there weren't many thrills, not as exciting as the roller coaster she imagined. She had to focus on the figure of the gorgeous sports car more than ten meters in front of her.
Beautiful spin kicks and gorgeous flying kicks are only suitable for movies. They are definitely not the most effective moves in actual combat; the same goes for drifting, on the street. Beautiful drifting does not necessarily increase speed.
Levi's started calmly, but on the same route, he would definitely walk the shortest distance. He would not waste more than ten meters or even several meters because of his gorgeous skills; the method was also the most suitable for the performance of his car. Because of this
, McGrady’s sports car couldn’t throw him away.
As the traffic on the road section increases, Levi's method begins to show its advantages. Under such circumstances, the gorgeous technology is more about creating thrills, and thrills will affect the driver's mentality.
At this moment, the advantages of familiarity and performance were weakening. Tracy McGrady, whose calculations were far inferior to Levi's and whose technology was far inferior to Levi's, found that Levi's car easily passed from the side. This made his mood even more ups and downs, and he accelerated to overtake.
But at this time, the maximum speed may not be the best choice. He almost crashed several times, leaving him in a cold sweat. He could only keep chasing, but he could never catch up with Levi's, who was as natural as flowing clouds and water in front of him.
When they drove into Yongle Street, McGrady, who was chasing after him, had already been pushed away by at least half a street.
Li Weiwen looked at all this in surprise: "Brother, why do I feel so smooth riding in your car? How can it be so fast?"
"Simple things are often the most effective. McGrady too deliberately showed off difficult techniques when he needed to be plain."
Li Weiwen seemed to understand but not quite.
Levis looked at McGrady coming towards him in the rear mirror, reached out and waved, and then sped away.
After returning home, Levis went to his room and took a nap and didn't get up until dinner time.
Li Bingjian and his wife had no other plans today and were back now. But when he saw the two of them in the living room, Levi felt that they seemed to have encountered something difficult.
"What happened?" Levis went over and asked.
Li Bingjian, who was sitting dullly, didn't say anything. Mai Qiongshan glanced at Levi's and smiled slightly: "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."
Although this smile came quickly, it was a bit unnatural.
This could be hidden from Li Weiwen, but of course it couldn't be hidden from Levi's eyes. He caught the forced smile.
Although my father doesn't talk much, he is only serious, but at this moment, he is a little troubled. This is even more true for the stepmother. She is always full of smiles and has never brought the company's problems back to her life. A family day
They didn't spend much time together, so she never showed any trouble in front of them. And now the smile on her face could not hide the worry.
Could it be that the wheat field is really dying? Thinking of the weird wheat field at noon, Levi's thought of the biggest possibility. On a happy birthday, this should be the only problem that can worry the calm parents.
If this is really the problem, he can only regret that he is a person from the future, but he is not a god. Even Lin Xuemei's leg cannot be cured, let alone an old man who is about to die?
"It's better to tell him! Weiss is an adult now, so we should be able to discuss it together."
Li Bingjian suddenly spoke. His tone was always very firm. Although it was a discussion tone, it was often difficult for others to refuse.
Mai Qiongshan glanced at him, then at Levi's, and hesitated.
Levis immediately understood that it was not his grandfather's business! His family was fine, and his parents' careers were stable, so who could it be?
Those two guys are the most likely, is it Mai Weiting? Or McGrady?
