26: Chapter 26: He's actually a race car driver.
Su Xueer also hadn't expected that the security guard Lin Heng mentioned was the security guard standing at the entrance of the bar.
And he seemed to be a parking valet?
For a moment, Su Xueer found it a bit hard to accept.
Given Lin Heng's capabilities, he shouldn't be doing such trivial tasks.
The livestream chat room was also filled with boasting and flattering remarks.
"Heh, he just earned a few hundred extra yuan. Not everyone tips him, and in the end, he's still subservient, forcing a smile for others?"
"Exactly, exactly. He has no ambition at all. He might as well go home and sleep."
"Selling himself for a few hundred yuan for one night. Honestly, it's not worth it. To be frank, everyone should just give up."
"What do you know, upstairs? Do you think everyone is as rich as your family? He's just out here trying to earn a living. Otherwise, who would want to be subservient?"
"Right, right! The person upstairs is too mean for scolding!"
"Idiot, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one standing guard. If it weren't for us standing guard, you probably wouldn't know how many times you've almost died!"
"..."
The livestream chat room began to argue.
Watching the barrage messages in the livestream, Su Xueer gradually realized something was wrong. She quickly spoke up:
"No profession is inherently noble or lowly. Everything exists for a reason. Being a security guard can also contribute to society."
"Everyone shouldn't pay too much attention to these things. Doing your best is what matters most."
"Besides, every profession has its own worries. You just need to focus on yourself. For example, me, a Streamer—if my content isn't good enough, you all won't support me, right?"
As soon as Su Xueer spoke, the livestream chat room quickly quieted down.
Although the complainers weren't entirely gone, most people were relatively normal; it was mostly just some venting.
At this moment, someone suddenly noticed Lin Heng's movements.
They saw that after taking the keys, Lin Heng swiftly got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, ignited the engine, and started it. This series of fluid movements looked as if he had practiced it countless times.
"Holy crap? That move is too smooth! How many sports cars has this guy driven to be so natural?"
"I don't know. It looks like the previous Rich Second Generation was just here for fun, and only Lin Heng is serious."
"Looking at that smoothness, why do I feel like Lin Heng is the Rich Second Generation?"
"With that posture, I bet Lin Heng has some kind of side job!"
"Forget the posture for now, look! There's only one narrow parking spot left. I wonder how Lin Heng plans to park the car?"
"Wait! Holy crap?!"
Just as everyone was wondering how Lin Heng would manage to park the car in the space, they saw Lin Heng calmly rev the engine, causing the tires to screech, and the entire car 'slid' right in!
That's right!
The front tires barely moved, while the rear tires erupted in a burst of smoke, and the car slid straight in.
The entire process was equivalent to a flat-ground drift!
Holy crap?!
Su Xueer was shocked.
The people around were shocked.
The livestream chat room was shocked.
"Holy crap?! Was that Lin Heng doing a burnout start? What illusion did I just see?"
"Awesome, awesome! I didn't realize Lin Heng was a racing master!"
"I wonder what that Rich Second Generation thinks?"
"Never mind what he thinks. It was just a quick burnout. For this level of sports car, it’s nothing serious, no real loss."
"I knew Lin Heng was multi-talented. It was definitely the right choice to follow Su Xueer."
The barrage messages in the livestream took off.
They knew he couldn't be doing this security guard job if he had no talent.
At this time, the Rich Second Generation who had come in earlier quickly jogged over.
First, he checked the car for any malfunctions, and then upon seeing Lin Heng getting out of the vehicle, he immediately showed a slight smile.
"Uh, your driving skills just now were amazing. Have you ever driven in a race before?"
The Rich Second Generation looked very excited.
Lin Heng nodded.
"I used to drive, but I stopped for some reasons later on."
When it came to racing ability, Lin Heng had accidentally invested a skill point when he first encountered car racing competitions.
He had thought he could make money from racing, but who knew that thing barely earned anything in the end.
The cost of maintaining the car almost wiped out all the prize money.
Later, due to some other circumstances, he gradually faded out.
Hearing this, the Rich Second Generation's eyes lit up.
He was a retired race car driver!
"I wonder if you'd be interested in joining our Extreme Speed Club? We have competitions across various countries. With your ability, after a bit of training, you could definitely secure a good ranking!"
He said excitedly at once.
And upon hearing 'Extreme Speed Club,' the livestream chat room suddenly exploded.
"Holy crap? Is that the club that set the record on Death Island?"
"I've heard of it. They say the person runs ahead while the soul chases behind. I didn't expect they'd actually try to recruit Lin Heng here!"
"Aren't all the members there top professional drivers? The prize money is tens of millions. I wonder if that's true?"
"Of course it's true, but only if you get first place. Who else would give you that much money?"
"I didn't expect that just taking a part-time job would attract the attention of such a big shot. I wonder if Lin Heng is considering it?"
"..."
The livestream chat room buzzed with speculation.
In response, Lin Heng calmly waved his hand.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in that yet. I'm more interested in the part-time job."
This...
If nothing unexpected happened, the unexpected still occurred.
Lin Heng truly refused.
But on second thought, for someone who could even refuse a powerful figure in the military, how could he care about a small Extreme Speed Club?
Hearing this, a look of regret appeared on the Rich Second Generation's face.
"This is my business card. If you change your mind, you can contact me."
The Rich Second Generation handed a business card to Lin Heng and quickly disappeared after saying goodbye.
Lin Heng was still holding the keys in his hand, not yet having had time to give them back to the other person, but the other person had already vanished.
This...
There was no choice; Lin Heng could only keep them for now.
"Streamer, Streamer, ask Lin Heng about his past experience as a race car driver."
"Yeah, yeah! Lin Heng's experience must be interesting!"
"Streamer, hurry up and ask! This guy must be hiding something!"
"..."
The audience in the livestream began to urge Su Xueer.
Su Xueer had no choice but to brace herself and ask Lin Heng, "Lin Heng, everyone is quite curious about your past experience driving race cars. Would you mind telling us about it?"
"What's there to talk about?"
Lin Heng seemed reluctant to speak.
Su Xueer gave a dry laugh, quickly pursed her lips, and continued to ask, "It's just that everyone is curious, but if it makes you uncomfortable, then forget it."
Hearing this, Lin Heng shook his head, seemingly not finding it too difficult.
He quickly spoke: "Because the race car blew its engine midway, there was no 'after' to that story."
