After taking one last look at the former Huashai base, Chen Xiangbei and the others returned to the hotel.

During the evening rest time, Chen Xiangbei briefly described some important experiences in Japan and future F1 team considerations to the team members.

Liang Chi and Lu Xiaoman were used to the big scenes, so Chen Xiangbei wasn't too worried about them. He was mainly concerned about the two mechanics, Feng Yong and Zhao Lei, who had never even left the country, and whose English skills were barely passable. They might face some adjustment issues.

However, there was no choice. They were among the few in the country with experience in Formula car repair and adjustment. Another batch of technicians with similar experience worked in the AGF events led by the Huali Group.

Feng Yong and Zhao Lei must overcome the communication barriers and learn many specialized words and terms in car racing. Otherwise, no matter how much Chen Xiangbei wanted to create a Chinese Formula racing team, it wouldn't work if he had "teammate pitfalls."

Fortunately, Feng Yong and Zhao Lei were both hardworking and resilient. They went to buy an English vocabulary book that evening to start memorizing it.

As for how much they could learn, only time would tell...

The next morning, Chen Xiangbei boarded a plane back to Guangzhou-Shenzhen, while Zhang Zhicong flew to Hong Kong Island.

The emotional words were spoken yesterday, so their farewell was straightforward.

But after boarding the plane, Chen Xiangbei couldn't help but feel a bit sad.

He didn't know when they would meet again after this farewell.

Back home in Guangzhou-Shenzhen, his mother, Zhao Yumei, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Chen Xiangbei, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

She hadn't expected the trial in the East Sea to take this long, let alone that Chen Xiangbei would go to Japan to become a professional driver. When her son informed her of these things over the phone, Zhao Yumei was totally shocked, needing days to fully process it.

"Xiangbei, are you really going to race in Europe?"

With a face full of surprise, Zhao Yumei asked, her son was becoming increasingly ambitious; this time, he's back and said he's going to Europe!

"Yes, I've entered the Renault Formula European Cup and signed with the Japanese Super Dream Team, the racing starts in early March."

"Mom, Suzuka International University has already granted me a special admission. I plan to suspend my high school studies to compete in professional events."

In any other situation, upon hearing about Chen Xiangbei's admission offer, Zhao Yumei would probably jump for joy.

But hearing this news today, her emotions are incredibly complex. Even though she had mentally prepared, confirming that Chen Xiangbei was going to Europe to become a professional racer still gave her an unspeakable sense of unreality.

After a long pause, Zhao Yumei slowly asked, "Xiangbei, are you sure you're ready?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Then go ahead."

His mother, Zhao Yumei, replied tearfully.

From the moment she agreed to let him go to the East Sea, she had actually decided to support her son's dreams.

However, while her rational mind understood, her emotions were still hard to reconcile for the time being.

In Zhao Yumei's eyes, Chen Xiangbei was still just a kid. She hadn't realized it was time for the fledgling to fully leave the nest.

"Mom, thank you."

Chen Xiangbei wasn't skilled in expressing emotions. All the words he wanted to say were left unsaid.

After staying home to accompany his mother, Zhao Yumei, for two days, the next day, Chen Xiangbei went to see Fatty Wang and Zhou Glasses.

When these two guys learned that Chen Xiangbei had become a professional racer and would travel to Europe for the Renault events, their astonishment left them uttering all kinds of exclamations.

Indeed, the speed of Chen Xiangbei's growth had completely surpassed the understanding range of a high school student.

Even though they had imagined one day Chen Xiangbei would become a professional driver standing on the racetrack, they hadn't expected that day to come so soon.

Among young people, there weren't too many emotional words. This time, when Chen Xiangbei met the two, it was partly to say goodbye and partly to offer some advice.

Zhou Glasses, with good grades, had already been exposed early on to car 3D modeling and design through automotive forums. If he wanted to apply for an automotive engineering major, it would likely be easy for him.

But Chen Xiangbei advised him to apply for an aerospace engineering university and then major in aerodynamics within the mechanics specialization.

With the burgeoning development of automobiles domestically, there would be no shortage of automotive engineers in the future, but there was a lack of top-notch aerodynamics experts like Newey.

For both public and private interests, future aerospace engineering seemed to have more prospects than automotive engineering.

Of course, Chen Xiangbei was only offering advice; how to choose would be up to Zhou Glass himself.

As for Fatty Wang, Chen Xiangbei didn't say too much.

The guy's grades were terrible, making it difficult enough for him to get into college, let alone choose a major.

Some things cannot be forced...

Finally, after much hesitation, Chen Xiangbei dialed Dong Yuanxi's number, and they met at a corner milk tea shop near the school.

He belatedly wished her a happy birthday and also gave her a belated birthday gift, which was a Renault racing model car he drove at Honda Academy.

Dong Yuanxi examined it for a moment and then asked, "Is this the model you used to win a championship in Japan?"

"Yes, how did you know?"

Surprised by Chen Xiangbei's question, a smile appeared on Dong Yuanxi's face as she said, "I told you, I know you very well."

"Thank you, I really like this gift."

Dong Yuanxi put down the model car. She had been regretting that Chen Xiangbei missed her 'coming of age' ceremony, but now it seemed he at least hadn't forgotten in his heart.
