Chapter 1626 - 608: "Accidentally" Took Advantage of Song Yunshan! (Lengthy - Requesting Subscription)
Half an hour later, Zhang Jingdong said to Hu Ling, "Everything I’ve talked to you about basically boils down to just a few words."
"Speed control, route choice, vehicle balance, vision control, and mastering braking and speed. Go through these words carefully in your head again and then recall how I operated just now."
"Once you’ve thought it through completely, you can try it yourself."
Hu Ling nodded thoughtfully, "...Alright."
Zhang Jingdong then got out of the car, but he didn’t sit in the front passenger seat; instead, he sat in the back.
Song Yunshan and Hu Ling were both somewhat surprised.
Song Yunshan couldn’t help but ask, "Shouldn’t you be sitting in the front passenger seat?"
Zhang Jingdong said earnestly, "If I sit in the front passenger seat, your cousin will always think there’s a teacher beside her who can give guidance at any time, so she won’t be able to fully exert her potential."
"Moreover, compared to the front passenger seat, sitting here allows me to more accurately spot issues in her operations later on."
Hu Ling suddenly realized this made a lot of sense.
Even though Song Yunshan also found his reasoning somewhat logical, she instinctively thought Zhang Jingdong was intentionally sitting beside her because his current smile was very similar to the mischievous smile he had last night.
But since Zhang Jingdong said this and wasn’t behaving excessively, she felt reluctant to stop him, so she didn’t say anything further.
After explaining to Song Yunshan, Zhang Jingdong deliberately didn’t look at her, casually opened the car window, and began to enjoy the scenery outside.
About ten minutes later, Hu Ling glanced at the rearview mirror, "I’m ready."
Zhang Jingdong immediately refocused, "Then let’s begin. I’ll only give you three chances. If you successfully complete the extreme corner within these three attempts, I’ll teach you another trick when I return tomorrow."
Hu Ling’s heart was stirred, "This is what you said!"
"I absolutely mean what I say!"
"Great!"
Saying this, Hu Ling swiftly prepared, then restarted the car with a launch start, and the car shot out directly.
Not long after, the big curve appeared ahead. She silently sighed in relief, executed a smooth operation, and the white Audi TT completed an extreme corner successfully.
At this moment, a passing Toyota Land Cruiser honked a congratulatory horn, with the driver inside loudly praising, "Awesome!"
Hu Ling also felt she performed well, with a hint of an ecstatic smile on her face.
She then turned to look at Zhang Jingdong, only to find his gaze was serious rather than appreciative.
She was momentarily puzzled, "Did I have any issues in my cornering just now?"
Zhang Jingdong paused and replied, "This time, I can only give you 80 points."
"Where was the deduction from the remaining 20 points?"
"When I demonstrated earlier, what was my speed while cornering?"
Hu Ling suddenly realized, pouted, "180... I get it, but... I feel that speed is beyond my current ability, otherwise...it would be too dangerous!"
"I know you can’t reach it, so I set the acceptable cornering speed in my mind as 150."
"You have to understand that the technique is called extreme cornering because the goal is to maintain very high speeds while cornering to achieve overtaking in curves."
"In my view, with your current skill level, your extreme cornering speed can definitely reach 150, but you clearly didn’t hit that passing line just now... try again!"
Hu Ling nodded, taking the lesson, "Okay, I understand!"
Saying this, she smoothly turned back to the previous spot.
She carefully recalled all the details just now before hitting the road again for another bout of extreme cornering.
Her driving talent is indeed undeniable. This time, her cornering speed directly hit 160.
After the corner, Hu Ling couldn’t help but raise her hand, "I did it... I did it!"
Song Yunshan couldn’t help but exclaim, "Sis, you’re simply amazing! You did it!"
After the sisters cheered for a while, they both turned to look at Zhang Jingdong in unison.
They found him still wearing a serious expression unexpectedly.
Hu Ling quickly asked, "Mr. Zhang, was there something wrong with my performance this time?"
Zhang Jingdong replied, "This time you get 90 points, the deduction in the remaining 10 points is for your choice of route."
"Your speed was up while cornering, but your overall time wasn’t much faster because your route choice wasn’t accurate enough, so you took some roundabout paths."
Hu Ling, being a perfectionist at heart, willingly nodded, "You’re right, I’ll work on improving it."
Saying this, she drove back to the starting point.
She spent nearly 20 minutes thinking before restarting the car, heading to the bend.
With extreme maneuvering, she minimized the entry angle and shortened the cornering distance to the greatest extent, thereby causing a sudden increase in centripetal force during cornering.
This wasn’t much visible from outside the car, but inside, Zhang Jingdong and Song Yunshan, sitting in the back without seat belts, both felt weightless for a moment.
Zhang Jingdong was fine, but Song Yunshan lost control, leaning directly toward him.
Zhang Jingdong might have been prepared or simply quick on the uptake, as he tightly embraced Song Yunshan just before she collided with him.
