Chapter 213: Boeing...is going to explode!
Outside the conference room of Muhua Airlines headquarters, Ma Cheng and the general manager of the flight department could still hear Xu Cang's voice inside the room.
"Mr. Ma, is it really true that you don't need to intervene?" the general manager of the flight department asked with some concern.
Ma Cheng snorted, "Why are you interfering? He lost face on his own. He is playing dirty tricks and he lost the face of our Mu Hua too. He still wants us to save his face? You are taking advantage of your age, replace him for me."
The general manager of the flight department did not expect that Ma Cheng would directly decide to replace him: "You can fly tomorrow."
"So what? We have never flown to Los Angeles before. Isn't it just a change of plane?" Ma Cheng glanced coldly at the general manager of the flight department: "Or can we not fly to Los Angeles without this old thing?"
The general manager of the flight department immediately replied, with great trepidation: "No, no, okay, okay, I will look for another candidate."
"Humph!" Ma Cheng said dissatisfiedly: "Xu Cang is right. Those who don't obey should not be allowed to get on the plane."
The general manager of the flight department immediately understood: "Boss Ma, I understand. The people selected are definitely sensible."
Ma Cheng hummed and raised his eyelids: "How is the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
"Uh..." The general manager of the flight department was a little embarrassed for a moment, but when he met Ma Cheng's cold gaze, he shuddered and dared not hide it: "The captain of the 737 Squadron 1, the deputy general manager of the Safety Supervision Department, and the training manager of the flying standard are said to be more enthusiastic about arranging Director Liu."
"Just these three?"
The general manager of the flight department quickly said, "Boss Ma, if we include everyone who has mentioned Director Liu Minxue before, then the scope is too large. Are these three enough? It's just killing a chicken to scare the monkey!"
Ma Cheng stared at the general manager of the flight department for a long while, making him break out in a cold sweat. Finally, Ma Cheng said coldly: "Remove all administrative positions of these three people, and reduce their technical level to co-pilot. They will not be re-employed within three years."
“Three…three years?” The general manager of the flight department was shocked. “Boss Ma, this is too serious. The accident symptoms can’t be that serious, right?”
Ma Cheng didn't even say anything, he just glanced at the general manager of the flight department. The general manager of the flight department swallowed the words on his lips and said hurriedly: "General Manager Ma, I'll do it right away."
Just as the general manager of the flight department was about to leave, Ma Cheng said calmly, "From now on, if I hear anyone in the flight department gossiping again, I will punish you."
The general manager of the flight department was about to cry. He heard that Liu Minxue, the director of the flight recruitment office, seemed to be leaving. Since the news came out, Ma Cheng was like being shot by a bullet, and his words were full of gunpowder.
It was said that Ma Cheng and Liu Minxue had a good relationship in private, but Liu Minxue had been exiled to the Recruitment Office for so many years, and Ma Cheng had never rescued Liu Minxue, so many people just regarded the rumor that Ma Cheng and Liu Minxue had a good relationship in private as a rumor. But now it seems that this is not a rumor.
About thirty minutes later, Xu Cang appeared again at the VIP guesthouse of Muhua Airlines.
Sure enough, after teaching those inconsiderate people a lesson, the pre-flight meeting became unusually pleasant. Some people are just cheap, and you have to scold them instead of talking to them nicely.
Xu Cang only listened to the first five minutes of the pre-flight meeting. He felt that there was nothing new about Muhua Airlines, so he stopped listening to the rest.
Anyway, he was only responsible for handling special situations. Under normal circumstances, Xu Cang was just busy. Moreover, in Xu Cang's memory, Muhua Airlines' Boeing 777 transoceanic flight would not have any problems, and he would probably just have to be transparent.
During the meeting, the general manager of the flight department did show up once, but he didn't say anything substantial, just some encouraging words. However, the head of the flight department didn't just talk nonsense, he also said some practical things, such as the decision to replace the flight crew.
That's right, the old instructor was eventually replaced. Moreover, the general manager of the flight department reiterated that if the aircraft had any problems, everyone must obey Xu Cang's command.
If this was said before the meeting, there would definitely be many people who would express doubts. But now, no one dared to doubt Xu Cang's ability, and the decision was smoothly confirmed.
In Xu Cang's opinion, he doesn't need those who think they are smart or powerful. He only needs those who are obedient. It would be fine if the problem can be solved on the ground in advance to avoid further arguments in the sky.
As soon as Xu Cang arrived at the lobby of the VIP hotel, he ran into an acquaintance, Liu Minxue, the director of the Muhua Airlines Recruitment Office .
Xu Cang had a good impression of Liu Minxue, at least better than Ma Cheng. However, Xu Cang didn't quite understand why Liu Minxue wanted to find him, after all, he didn't seem to have anything to do with Muhua's recruitment office.
"Xu Cang, you should still remember me, right?" Liu Minxue came up to him with a smile.
Xu Cang nodded: "Director Liu, I remember. Is there anything wrong?"
As Xu Cang spoke, he led Liu Minxue to the rest area in the corner of the hall, and the two sat down to talk.
"It's not a big deal." Liu Minxue looked a little embarrassed. "I heard that your Spring Airlines has been listed for a while. I wonder if you have ever thought about training your own pilots."
Xu Cang was still sipping his drink, thinking about what to drink. When Liu Minxue mentioned this, Xu Cang was stunned: "Director Liu, are you saying that you train pilots yourself?"
"Yes! The domestic civil aviation market will definitely develop greatly in the future. By then, not only will there be a shortage of planes, but also pilots. It will be very difficult to poach people from other companies. If Spring Airlines wants to develop, you can't always rely on poaching people from other companies, right? You still have to train your own pilots."
Xu Cang retracted his hand holding the drink and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Recently, it was too easy to get planes and people from other companies, so Xu Cang didn't pay much attention to related matters.
Liu Minxue's statement is definitely not alarmist, but it is indeed going to happen. Currently, Spring Airlines still has enough pilots, but it is hard to say if it will develop further. It is indeed necessary to consider it in advance, after all, the training cycle of pilots is a bit too long.
"Recruiting pilots, huh? This is a big project." Xu Cang himself didn't know much about the specific process of recruiting pilots. However, from selecting students, physical examinations, to regularly paying attention to the students in the aviation school, all of these require a lot of effort, and the workload is extremely huge.
Liu Minxue smiled and said, "Given the scale of your company, it's a bit late to start recruiting pilots now. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. After this year, if you want to recruit people, the price will be much higher, which may not be cost-effective."
"This is indeed something I need to think about." Xu Cang pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something. He quickly thanked Liu Minxue: "Thank you, Director Liu, for reminding me."
There have been too many things to do recently, so Xu Cang has been distracted and has completely neglected the recruitment of pilots. After all, Xu Cang is just one person and it is impossible for him to take care of everything. Qin Xin is good at administration, but she is not up to the task of professional projects. After all, Lu Jinghua has been a middle-level cadre for a long time, so his vision is a bit narrow and he cannot change it for the time being.
Thinking of this, Xu Cang really felt that Spring Airlines needed a suitable vice president of operations to take charge of the entire flight system and share the pressure of affairs with him. After all, Xu Cang had too many things to consider, and it was impossible for him to think of every detail for Spring Airlines.
"It's okay, I just said it casually." Liu Minxue waved his hand: "Xu Cang, I wonder if your company has set up a recruitment office?"
"No, I'm sorry to make you laugh, Director Liu. We established Spring Airlines out of passion, but now it seems that the team is still a bit makeshift."
Liu Minxue hesitated for a moment: "Xu Cang, since the establishment of the Recruitment Office is imperative, can I recommend myself? Apart from anything else, I have worked in the Recruitment Office of Muhua Airlines for quite a long time, so I think I have some experience. If you don't mind, Xu Cang, I can help you set up the Recruitment Office, and just give me the matters related to recruitment."
Xu Cang was stunned, his mind was not able to react immediately: "You?"
"What do you mean by 'you'? Our Muhua's executive vice president built a flight recruitment office for you and you're wronged?"
At this moment, a deep voice came from outside the door. Xu Cang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ma Cheng approaching with a gloomy face.
"Executive Vice President?" Xu Cang couldn't help but look at Liu Minxue, his expression full of surprise.
Ma Cheng sat down opposite Xu Cang and said, "What's wrong? Do you think he is really recruiting pilots?"
Of course, Xu Cang didn't think that Liu Minxue was just an ordinary director of the flight recruitment office. After all, he seemed to have a very good personal relationship with high-level managers like Ma Cheng, so their levels should be similar. However, he didn't expect that Liu Minxue was the executive vice president of Muhua Airlines. This level was a bit too high.
"I did work as the executive vice president for a while, but I was fired because I couldn't keep up." Liu Minxue was a little embarrassed: "However, I feel I can still handle the work of the flight recruitment office alone."
"What's your inability to keep up? Working with a bunch of insects, not going along with them means your inability to keep up?" Ma Cheng sneered, "You resigned just to work for him, did you think about it a long time ago?"
"It's not like I've thought about it a long time ago. After all, I don't have many options right now, and I don't think Xu Cang is likely to let me show my skills."
Ma Cheng snorted: "What's the point of a shabby airline company doing this?"
"Boss Ma, I'm still here. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to be so blunt?"
"Am I not telling the truth? Your place is nothing but a shabby yard. Muhua's toilet is more luxurious than yours."
Xu Cang was about to fight back, but he got a taste of it. It seemed that Ma Cheng was not targeting him, but seemed to be dissatisfied with Liu Minxue. The two of them seemed to have a good personal relationship, and it seemed that Ma Cheng was not very happy about Liu Minxue's resignation.
"Ma Cheng, I'm different from you. You're in your element in Muhua, but I'm suffering here." Liu Minxue sighed, "I don't want to waste my last few years here."
At the end, Liu Minxue looked at Xu Cang: "Xu Cang, what do you think?"
"If Director Liu wants to come, that would be of course what we want." Xu Cang felt that he was a good judge of people. At least Liu Minxue would have no problem managing a flight recruitment office.
If Ma Cheng was not talking nonsense and Liu Minxue really had been the executive vice president of Muhua Airlines, then it would be a huge waste of his talent to let him be in charge of the recruitment office.
"It's a deal then." Liu Minxue was very happy: "I will resign as soon as possible. I will report back to you within five days."
After saying that, Liu Minxue quickly stood up and was about to leave. But after taking two steps, he found that Ma Cheng was still sitting there, so he couldn't help but urge him: "Ma Cheng, what are you still doing sitting there? Let's go."
However, Ma Cheng stared at Xu Cang intently and said something meaningful: "I feel that when the bureau issues study materials in the future, they should attach your name and photo to them to prevent some idiots from bringing shame upon themselves."
Xu Cang smiled and said, "I guess Mr. Ma doesn't know how our pilots are doing during the study session."
"Oh?" Ma Cheng was a little interested: "What do you mean?"
"I don't know about the others, but since we're all pilots, I think they're pretty much the same." Xu Cang said with a smile, "What are we going to learn in a study session? Isn't it just to get by? I, Xu Cang, have a small reputation in some places. In the eyes of grassroots pilots, what does my handling of special situations have to do with them? Who cares what my name is or what I look like? It seems that President Ma has overestimated the pilots' thirst for knowledge."
Xu Cang seemed to have thought of something: "Mr. Ma should understand what I am saying. A pilot is still a pilot at the end of the day. Don't take yourself too seriously."
Ma Cheng laughed loudly: "But now you seem to want to transcend this identity. Xu Cang, there won't be any problems with the Los Angeles route, right?"
"I can't say that." Xu Cang flicked his nails: "The world is unpredictable, who knows what will happen?"
Ma Cheng stood up slowly: "Xu Cang, you have to remember that the chairman promised you that there would be no problems with the flight, no problems at all. I think you should understand what I mean."
"I always thought that as long as the plane didn't crash, it would be fine." Xu Cang smiled and said, "It seems that I misunderstood."
Ma Cheng snorted and followed Liu Minxue away.
After Ma Cheng and the other man left, Xu Cang couldn't help but say, "What a hassle."
I picked up a can of drink to moisten my mouth, and suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone coming in the door in a hurry. It was Xiao Lingyun.
Xu Cang remembered that Xiao Lingyun had been in Shekou recently. Of course, Shekou was indeed very close to Guangzhou, but why did he come here suddenly?
Xu Cang put down his drink: "What are you doing here?"
When Xiao Lingyun approached, Xu Cang suddenly found that Xiao Lingyun's face was full of fear, and he immediately felt that something was wrong: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Lingyun was sitting next to Xu Cang with a stack of information in his hand. Xu Cang could even hear Xiao Lingyun's uneasy heartbeat.
Xiao Lingyun opened a bottle of drink on the table and drank it all. After a while, his face was filled with horror: "Xu Cang, the Boeing... is going to explode!"
