Season 2 Episode 29: Volkswagen vs Porsche

  After sitting down, Wei Ziyuan took out a portable laptop from her bag and started dealing with work emails. Shen Fang joked: "You're so busy, coming out for coffee and still working, no wonder you became the assistant to the president in such a short time."

  Wei Zi Xuan smiled faintly, picked up her coffee cup with one hand, and elegantly crossed her legs together, saying: "No way, I'm used to it. I like working. Only when I'm working do I feel a sense of existence."

  Shen Fang rolled her eyes: "Don't come on, you're not some ugly old hag who can't show your face in public. You're only 27 this year, not even up to the standard of a leftover woman yet. But at this rate, you'll get there soon. By the way, how's it going with that little Liu I told you about last time?"

  "He is him and I am me, just because we are in the same company doesn't mean we have anything to do with each other."

  "Hey, we're old classmates, don't be shy about it. I know you like him. Let me tell you, Little Liu and our family's Pockmark are friends. How about I arrange a chance for us to sit down and have coffee together sometime?"

  Wei Zi Xuan said: "Fang Fang, don't get involved in this anymore. Alright, I admit it, I really like him, but he already has someone else in his heart."

  "Ah, I see. So that's how it is. A man as excellent as him, how could he possibly lack women by his side? Alas, I didn't think this through thoroughly. Let me just drink my coffee."

  Wei Zi Xuan's eyes were a bit dazed: "The person he likes must be many times better than me..."

  On this side, Fang Fei happily took out a small mirror and smiled at herself in the mirror, two white tiger teeth showing off her invincible youth. The little girl was relieved that Liu Ziguang, this stinky egg, was still honest and hadn't done anything bad outside, she had wronged him.

  Fang Xi was overjoyed, beaming with delight, and called the waiter over to add two portions of tiramisu and cheesecake. Scared, Xiaoli quickly covered her purse: "Fang Xi, I didn't bring much money today."

  "It doesn't matter, I'll treat you." Fang Xi said with a smile.

  ……

  Colleagues from the sanitation department organized a trip to Old Zhang's house to burn paper, Liu Ziguang drove his own car with his mother to attend, the late colleague Old Zhang's family lives in a certain community in the west of the city, it is a one-bedroom apartment, the furniture and decorations are simple, Old Zhang's husband sits blankly next to his wife's portrait, their child is only 17 years old, wearing mourning clothes and kneeling at the door, bowing to everyone who comes.

  The old mother and those colleagues were all temporary workers recruited by the sanitation department. Everyone was connected by fate, and their ages were similar. Seeing this desolate scene, everyone couldn't help but shed tears secretly. Old Zhang was just a temporary worker, so the sanitation department didn't give much condolence money. The party responsible for the accident promised to give 600,000 yuan under the coordination of the traffic police, but it hasn't been received yet.

  Everyone gave a hundred yuan each to burn paper money, Liu Ziguang wrapped five thousand yuan in white paper and quietly put it in Old Zhang's drawer. After everyone came out, they started discussing the situation of Old Zhang's misfortune.

  That night, Old Zhang's husband suddenly received a notification that his wife had an accident and was no longer alive. He was asked to rush to the hospital immediately. In fact, she died on the spot before the ambulance arrived. The traffic police said that Old Zhang ran a red light. The speed of the other party's vehicle was not very high, nor was it a drunk driving case. Therefore, both parties had some responsibility, but the main responsibility still lay with Old Zhang. After coordination, compensation of 60,000 yuan was agreed upon, and the other party did not pursue the loss of the damaged car.

  Lao Zhang's husband is a honest and retired worker, their son is in high school, but he doesn't do well either. They are obviously a disadvantaged group. When others say something is black, they think it's black; when others say something is white, they think it's white. Although they are filled with sorrow and doubt, they can only silently endure.

  The TV station did produce an episode, but the host Jiang Xueqing was immediately laid off and the show didn't continue. The public relations work of the party responsible for the incident was quite successful, and Old Zhang's family wouldn't make a fuss, so this matter never got out, and nobody on the internet knew about it.

  There were sanitation workers at the scene who vividly described to their colleagues what had happened. Old Zhang's body was over 50 meters away, a red sports car stopped on the road, with a young man inside who didn't even get out of the car, constantly making phone calls. A few minutes later, several more sports cars arrived, and a group of young people got out, gathered by the side of the road, smoking and chatting. Then a luxury sedan arrived, and a middle-aged woman got out, first arranging for the young man in the sports car to get into her own car, then making phone calls to contact others. Only then did the traffic police finally arrive late.

  The traffic police arrived soon after, and the TV crew also came to the scene. At that time, there was a small unpleasantness. The young people who drove the sports car blocked the photographer from taking pictures of the driver who caused the accident hiding in the luxury car, scolding and pushing each other. Under the coordination of the police, they stopped. After that, the on-site investigation and clearing and transporting the bodies were carried out.

  The sanitation workers let out a sigh, but had nothing to say. The other party has power and influence, and can cover up the sky with one hand. Ordinary people can only hope that such things do not happen to themselves.

  After going back, Liu Ziguang deliberated for an hour and finally made a decision. He first gave Jiang Xueqing a call.

  Jiang Xueqing, although no longer hosting shows, is still a TV station employee and spends her days idly in the office. Suddenly, she sees Liu Ziguang's phone number on the caller ID and becomes so excited that she dares not answer it.

  After hesitating for a few seconds, she still pressed the answer button: "Hello."

  "Jiang anchor, I want to see that traffic accident program you did last time, is it convenient?"

  "Convenient, when do you want to watch?"

  "For now."

  Half an hour later, Jiang Xueqing sat in Liu Ziguang's car with a notebook and played him an unedited video. On the early morning road, a group of fashionably dressed young people were pushing cameras around, the picture was blurry and shaking, but you could still see the young man hiding in the black BMW, wearing a silver windbreaker, giving the camera the middle finger, looking drunk.

  This man Liu Ziguang knew, was one of the drivers who blocked himself on the outer ring road at the meeting just now, only to drive a Land Rover at that time, and now driving a red Porsche.

  "What's the story with this driver?" Liu Ziguang asked.

  "He is the son of a shareholder in a major real estate development company, a junior at Jiangbei Physical Education Institute, and his mother's family also has some power, seemingly being an official in the provincial government," said Jiang Xueqing.

  "I'd like to ask for your help." Liu Ziguang said, staring at the young man's arrogant face in the paused video.

  Jiang Xueqing's heart skipped a beat, she suppressed her excitement and calmly replied: "Go on, I'm listening."

  "Don't mention this afternoon's events to anyone."

  Jiang Xue nodded: "Alright, I swear I won't reveal a single word."

  ……

  At around 11:40 that night, outside the entrance of the 1912 bar, several young people stumbled out, arm-in-arm. One of them, a young man wearing a silver jacket, held a beer bottle in one hand and had his other arm around a heavily made-up girl. From time to time, he would stick out his dirty hand and wipe it on the girl's buttocks, which were clad in a leopard-print skirt. The girl let out exaggerated shrieks and swung her LV handbag at him, but the young man just laughed wildly without restraint.

  Young people set off in their own cars, among various sports cars, only the red Porsche of the silver-haired young man is the most eye-catching. He hugged the leopard-print woman and got into the car, stretched out his arm to point at the night sky, let out a strange cry, and the Porsche sped away like an unbridled wild horse.

  Young people started chasing, alcohol flowing in their veins, but their brains were even more excited. From time to time, they would cross the double yellow line and make daring moves, causing oncoming cars to swerve sharply to avoid them. Two normally driven cars even collided with each other. The young people became even more excited, shouting weirdly as they sped wildly down the highway without any traffic police.

  Porsche sped the fastest, far ahead of other vehicles. He arrived at a section where speeding was common and stopped to wait for his companions. A plain white Ford suddenly emerged like a ghost and slid into a position parallel to the Porsche. The driver provocatively stepped on the accelerator, making a loud roar, which was a signal to start racing.

  Yin Jiake couldn't believe his eyes, an ordinary Fukang came to challenge his Porsche, was this guy crazy? He was both amused and angry, the leopard-print woman in the passenger seat shouted: "Brother Yin Long, destroy him!"

  The Silver Dragon also slammed on the accelerator in response, the traffic light ahead was flashing for one second, 3, 2, 1! The two cars shot out at the same time, you get what you pay for, and naturally the expensive Porsche took the lead, far ahead. However, the Richcan was not to be underestimated, like a ghostly figure following closely behind, catching up every time they entered a curve, even overtaking the Porsche by a car length.

  This road is located in the western mountainous area of Jiangbei City, with winding roads and rugged terrain. It is known as the Akina Speed Way of Jiangbei City by the street racing crowd, and Yin Long is their Takumi Fujiwara.

  But this so-called Fujiwara Takumi is obviously just a knockoff version. Today, he met the bane of his existence, a guy driving a 1.6 two-door Corolla. This person drives incredibly skillfully, drifting, tail-swishing, cornering, with movements that are so smooth they're enviable. This is the real fastest driver on Akina Mountain Pass.

  Several turns later, Fu Kang had already left the Porsche behind. He deliberately slowed down, lowered the window and gave a contemptuous thumbs up to the Porsche driver whose face was not visible.

  The Silver Dragon was furious, as he had always been the one bullying others and couldn't bear being bullied himself. As the only son of a big developer's vice president, he had been excessively pampered since childhood, like an emperor who could have anything he wanted. He had never experienced setbacks before. In middle school, he used an iron rod to beat his classmate into a vegetative state, and his family spent tens of thousands of yuan to settle the matter. In high school, he raped a female classmate, and his family again spent tens of thousands of yuan to silence her. After entering the Sports Academy through connections, he became even more lawless, often using date-rape drugs on some girls who loved to have fun with him and his rich friends, then abandoning them after giving them a few thousand yuan, knowing they wouldn't dare speak out.

  The last time was a week ago, also on this road, the Silver Dragon drove fast and killed a sanitation worker. The family of the deceased settled for 60,000 yuan. After that, he became even more reckless, thinking that killing a person or a dog, or a chicken made no difference.

  Yin Long's driving skills are not high, but he can't resist the temptation of money, and has bought two Porsches. The one that was involved in an accident last time has been sent to Hong Kong for repairs, and now he is driving another spare one. His driver's license is still being held by the traffic police, but it doesn't matter, which blind traffic policeman would dare to check the driver's license of someone who drives a Porsche?

  His driving skills were not good, but he made up for it with a good car. He could still bully those who couldn't afford a Porsche, but today was different. A young man had just crashed his Ford and killed himself, which made Silver Dragon extremely unhappy. With the alcohol taking over, he started scolding the people around him, as was his style when he couldn't beat others on the road. He glared at the frightened female passenger next to him and shouted, "You're so heavy, you're affecting my speed!"

  Porsche was still speeding, when the Silver Dragon kicked the leopard-print woman out. A miserable cry, the woman rolled dozens of times on the side of the road before stopping, lying motionless by the roadside.

  Fu Cheng quietly stopped in front, waiting for Porsche to come and compete again.
