We Go Fast on Trust Episode 1 Recap
> We Go Fast on Trust Recap
Chen Mobai participated in the Formula 2 racing series. He was forced to leave Ruifeng two years ago and is now an independent driver. He can't compete with the race car drivers backed by a team, but his overall points ranking is very high, and he is close to reaching the threshold for Formula 1.
In this race, Chen Mobai initially fell behind Lu Yunhao. Later, he overtook Lu Yunhao, but was bumped by him, dropping to second place again. His teammates were unhappy and wanted to appeal. However, Chen Mobai felt it was not worth it. Appeals after such collisions rarely yield conclusive results, and the appeal fee is 20,000. Chen Mobai believed that in the upcoming races, he could outpace Lu Yunhao and avoid any collisions.
Shen Xi prepared a bottle of Banlangen (an herbal remedy) and brought it to President Fei. President Fei was also watching Chen Mobai's race and, upon seeing him lose, said nothing.
When Chen Mobai left the company years ago, he applied for maintenance expenses but never provided the invoices or repaid the money. The company had been trying to retrieve the invoices every year but without success, making it a task that even the administrative department didn't want to handle. Shen Xi, unaware of this, took on the job.
Shen Xi came to find Chen Mobai, who stated that he had no money and was in a difficult situation. Shen Xi started calculating the assets of their car shop, thinking that these assets should cover the outstanding expenses. Lu Yunhao approached Chen Mobai and asked him to modify a car, to which Chen Mobai quoted a price of 80,000. Lu Yunhao challenged Chen Mobai to a race and Chen Mobai said he would need an additional 20,000 for training.
Lu Yunhao agreed and asked what would happen if Chen Mobai lost. Chen Mobai said that if he lost, he would modify Lu Yunhao's car for free. Lu Yunhao set the rules: two people would stand on a platform, throw a piece of cloth, and then perform a drift. The winner would be the one closest to the platform.
Lu Yunhao designated Shen Xi to throw the cloth, which required a lot of teamwork and coordination. Shen Xi wasn't on Chen Mobai's side and, naturally, didn't have much rapport with him. Chen Mobai asked Shen Xi for help, promising to pay him if he won. Shen Xi agreed and, with her eyes closed, calculated the distance using various formulas, throwing the cloth at the best time, helping Chen Mobai win.
Lu Yunhao was very frustrated but had to honor his promise. Shen Xi received the payment and even found some change for Chen Mobai. When Shen Xi returned home, her mother had prepared dumplings for her, but she didn't open the door, so her mother left the dumplings outside, asking her to remember to eat them. Shen Xi took the dumplings inside but only placed them in the fridge without eating them. She felt that her life had been stagnant for the past two years.
Shen Xi was searching online for Shen Chuan's helmet and found a post by someone offering it for 50,000. She left a message, and the person provided an address for a cash transaction. Chen Mobai also saw the post and knew that the helmet was likely fake. They located the meeting place and rushed over.
Shen Xi checked the helmet and confirmed it was a fake, but the seller suddenly snatched the money and ran. Shen Xi chased after him, and Chen Mobai caught up, retrieving the money. The seller hit Chen Mobai on the shoulder with a stick, but he didn't say anything. Shen Xi felt relieved that the money was recovered and left the helmet there, thinking the seller might come back for it. Shen Xi thanked Chen Mobai and left.
Chen Mobai thought back to the incident where Shen Xi lost the handkerchief in the evening and found it a bit strange, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what was odd. His cousin mentioned that Shen Xi seemed to be wasting her talents because she had a Ph.D. in engineering, and her abilities were being underutilized by merely serving tea and pouring water. Shen Xi explained that she had seen someone entering the company with her brother's helmet and had come here to search for it.
Shen Xi specifically sought out Chen Mobai and couldn't resist touching his back as she looked at him. Chen Mobai was startled, and Shen Xi mentioned that his back looked a bit swollen and needed some ice treatment. She advised him, as a racing driver, to take good care of his muscles. Chen Mobai commented that her way of repaying people was indeed a bit peculiar. Shen Xi explained that the reason she had returned today was to find out if Shen Chuan's helmet was here. Chen Mobai confirmed that it was and that it had been a gift from Shen Chuan. Shen Xi wanted to take the helmet, but Chen Mobai said that it was one thing to snatch a person but another to snatch a helmet.
