020 generation car king
After greeting each other, Zhang Yifei also sat down. Zhang Zhiguo was obviously a little drunk at this time. He said to Zhang Yifei with his tongue wide open: "Yifei, your Uncle Lu is a generation of car king. He used to fight on behalf of our mainland convoy to fight all directions, and used those foreigners who looked down on us to kill foreigners. Later, when we saw us, we would give us a thumbs up and say very good!"
Zhang Zhiguo was very excited and could feel the vigor in his heart. Perhaps these past events were the fire that was not extinguished in the middle-aged man. If it were an ordinary young man, he would definitely not be able to understand the excitement in Zhang Zhi's heart at this moment, but Zhang Yifei understood that because when he was fighting in foreign competitions in his previous life, he had also experienced this kind of contempt and ridicule.
After hearing this, Uncle Lu, who was standing beside him, also had a faint smile on his lips, but there was a little bitterness in his smile.
"It's all the past, and they don't understand what they say to the children."
"Don't understand? Lao Lu, you are wrong. My son knows racing more than me!"
Zhang Zhiguo's voice became obviously louder, and it can be seen that he was still very proud of Zhang Yifei.
"Old Lu, I told you once on the phone that Yifeiren is here now, and I want to tell you again. It's not because he is my son, so I exaggerate it, but Yifei is very talented in racing, and I can feel that it's not the kind of playful play of half a boy, but the real love, just like you did back then."
"I am just a car repairman, and I can help Yifei in terms of driving skills, but you are different. You are the king of car and the idol of all of us back then. I hope you can take Yifei and let him enter the professional team to see the outside world, instead of staying in this place and running the mountain road with a group of half-baby boys."
When Zhang Zhiguo said this later, his voice was a little choked. I don’t know if it was because of Zhang Yifei’s future or because he was moved by his past.
Zhang Yifei, who was sitting aside, felt sour when he heard these words. To be honest, he often knew that Zhang Zhiguo was doing his best, but after he was reborn, he couldn't get over the psychological barrier. But at this moment, he truly felt this deep fatherly love and planned for his children's future.
Listening to Zhang Zhiguo's words, Lao Lu did not reply directly, but lit a cigarette and was silent.
After a long time, Lao Lu said, "Zhiguo, it has been five years since I retired, and now it is no longer our era. Besides, I have no ambitions as I did before. How can a person who has no belief in victory take him away?"
"I know you've been depressed over the years, but it's been five years since that incident. Any accident on the track may happen!"
"It's not an accident, Awei..."
"Awei is dead!"
At this time, Zhang Zhiguo roared with a flushed face: "Five years! Do you know how your brothers have lived in these five years? We are all waiting for you to come back and stand on the podium with you. Do you know how many dreams and hopes you have undertaken back then? These have been destroyed by you!"
After saying this, Zhang Zhiguo raised his head and leaned against his seat as if he had drained all his strength. Zhang Yifei saw his eyes red, maybe he didn't want to let tears fall in front of his son.
Old Lu lowered his head and pulled out another Marlboro from the cigarette box. However, this time his hands trembled slightly when he lit the cigarette. He fired two or three times before lit the cigarette.
Zhang Yifei looked at all this in front of him and began to sort out his mind slowly. If he was not mistaken, the old man should have been the repairman in Lao Lu's team back then. A top professional driver, he will never fight alone. In addition to the support and sponsorship of automobile manufacturers, he also has an extremely powerful repair team around him to serve the drivers.
Zhang Yifei had not understood before, how could an ordinary car repairer who mainly repairs family cars have a performance car like Ford Cobra and has made in-depth modifications for it? Now everything can be explained. Zhang Zhiguo was a member of the professional driver team back then. He had been exposed to the maintenance of these high-performance racing cars, so it is natural to modify a mass-produced performance car.
At the same time, from their conversation, we can also know that a major incident occurred five years ago, which led to the dissolution of the entire fleet. The reason was that it was related to the death of a man named Awei. What happened back then made the drivers who were known as the Chinese car king retired in decay and the entire fleet fell apart, which made Zhang Yifei very curious.
A cigarette burned out, Lao Lu put out the cigarette butts and said slowly: "It's not that I don't want to teach Yifei, but that I no longer have the aura of a driver. I also know some professional drivers in Hong Kong, and they are all better than me. If you want, I can introduce Yifei to them. Don't worry, they will definitely do their best."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiguo began to excitedly reply: "Who can be better than you? You are the king of Chinese cars!"
"I'm not anymore." Old Lu replied with a wry smile.
This sentence is not me, and Zhang Zhiguo could only look at the other party in silence. The changes in the past five years were too great. His unwillingness and anger could not withstand the invasion of time and years.
The scene fell into silence again. At this time, Zhang Yifei, who had been sitting next to him and listening silently, finally spoke: "Uncle Lu, I asked casually, is your full name Lu Ningping?"
Maybe he didn't expect Zhang Yifei to ask this. Old Lu's expression was a little surprised, but he nodded quickly.
This simple admission made Zhang Yifei feel heartbroken. Damn, Uncle Lu is really the first generation of car king in China. I didn’t expect that he had seen the legendary figure in the domestic racing industry in his previous life in this life. However, the current experience and appearance of this legendary driver are very different from his memories in his previous life. It seems that the world has changed a lot and has changed accordingly.
The car king Lu Ningping, who was remembered by Zhang Yifei, was a soldier who was transferred to a professional driver. In the late 1980s, he went to the UK to study professional racing and received guidance from the world champion at that time. Later, he led the Chinese Rally Team several times to participate in the Rally Race in Yanjing, Hong Kong Island, and won the championship many times, and was awarded the "Asian Best Driver" Award.
Later, he won the U4 championship of Asrc, a subsidiary of Fia (World Racing Federation). This is the first time that a Chinese driver won the championship in an Asian-level event, and also established Lu Ningping as the top Asian driver. As a pioneer of domestic professional rally and also won the best results, Lu Ningping is well deserved to be called the "Chinese car king".
If Uncle Lu in front of him is the same person as Lu Ningping in his memory, then he is definitely a senior who deserves respect from Zhang Yifei. If Zhang Yifei didn't care about the so-called senior guidance before, then his ideas have changed now. This is not just technical guidance, but a banner for Chinese professional drivers. Even if you don't say these things, just to cheer up by his father and Uncle Lu, Zhang Yifei would choose to take it.
