"Pei overthinks, Mr. Shen just happens to need a female companion, and I just happen to need money. We're in a fair partnership, no favors owed!"

"This year's competitors are all experts. Winning the championship won't be easy."
As the race time approached, each competitor stood on their respective track with brand-new motorcycles, both men and women looking impressive and formidable standing in front of their bikes.
At the signal of the race instructor, the 20 motorcyclists braced themselves for action.
Three female racers held the handlebars while the remaining 17 were male.
The instructor blew his whistle three times and shouted start, and 20 motorcycles took off like arrows, their engines at maximum power, creating a spectacular and grand scene.
