From Chen Xiangbei's perspective, the entire process had a stroke of luck to it. In terms of Suzuki Aguri, it seemed more like a mutually beneficial arrangement.
He needed a talented driver to maintain the Super Aguri Team's "legacy" in the European formula field, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback!
When the daylight was almost there, Chen Xiangbei called Lu Xiaoman, who was far away in East Sea, to chat about his future career plans and see if she was willing to join the racing team.
After all, Lu Xiaoman was different from Feng Yong and Zhao Lei, the two technician mechanics. Without the family connections and Zhang Zhicong's personal ties, she had no reason to engage in the racing industry given her family background.
According to the standard partnership terms, Chen Xiangbei didn't have to pay the team salary, but he did have to cover living and travel expenses.
