In the working area of ​​Jianchuan Airport, there is the extremely imposing Muhua Airlines Jianchuan Base with its carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes, as well as the calm and majestic Guoda Airlines Jianchuan Branch. Although the Jianchuan Branch of Tiandong Airlines has a simple shape, it reveals a modern technological beauty.
However, local airlines, such as the Blue Sky Aviation Base Building, exude a sense of old-fashionedness and conservatism at all times.
However, Blue Sky Airlines' base building has never been the ugliest among all the airline buildings in the Jianchuan Airport working area. The ugliest base building has always belonged to Jianchuan Airlines.
That's right, this airline named after Jianchuan is always doing things that degrade its own name.
What’s more, the worst thing is that Blue Sky Airlines and Jianchuan Airlines are right next to each other. The two ugliest buildings in the airport work area complement each other, which is really an eye-sore.
However, compared to the square and old-fashioned Blue Sky Aviation Building, the Jianchuan Aviation Building is ugly in every way, and there is nothing good about it. If you look at the Jianchuan Aviation Building alone, most people will have the illusion that time has gone back to the last century.
The dense white square tiles and dark blue wall paint, if it weren't for the four characters "Jianchuan Airlines" hanging on the top, the building would really look like a mainstream building from more than 20 years ago. But the problem is that the base building of Jianchuan Airlines was completed less than five years ago. It is hard to imagine that Jianchuan Airlines hired a god dug out of a tomb to design the building.
However, compared with the tacky exterior, the interior decoration and displays of Jianchuan Airlines are quite fashionable. This sense of difference really makes people wonder whether the designer developed schizophrenia during the excavation process.
In the office on the top floor of Jianchuan Airlines Building, Vice President of Operations Shen Yishan was shocked when he heard Qin Yi's words.
"Boss Qin, do you mean to say that our transportation contract with Chunxia Travel will be terminated and will not be renewed?"
Shen Yishan was standing in the middle of his office, while Qin Yi, the guest, was sitting leisurely on the sofa. The scene seemed a little strange.
Qin Yi always maintained a cold expression in front of others. He tapped the wall of the cup on the coffee table and found that the tea seemed still very hot, so he leaned back slightly and stared at the vice president of operations of Jianchuan Airlines in front of him with a strange look.
To be honest, compared with other airline executives, Shen Yishan's appearance is not very good. He is in his 40s or 50s, short and fat, and his hair volume is quite worrying. He does not have the temperament of a successful person at all.
"Mr. Shen, I should have made it very clear just now, right?" Qin Yi said softly, unhurriedly: "Or did I use some ambiguous words that made you have some other ideas?"
Shen Yishan's mouth twitched. Jianchuan Airlines and Spring Summer Travel had cooperated earlier than Blue Sky Airlines. After all, in Jianchuan, apart from the branches of the three major airlines, Blue Sky Airlines and Jianchuan Airlines were the only ones with some strength. Spring Summer Travel didn't have that many options.
Jianchuan Airlines is in a neither good nor bad position, as it is not yet financially strong enough to completely ignore the transportation contract with Chunxia Travel.
According to normal development, the previously signed contract will expire in two months. This kind of contract originally has a great possibility of renewal. Jianchuan Airlines was still discussing who to send to Chunxia Travel Group to discuss the contract renewal a few days ago.
However, Jianchuan Airlines had not yet decided on the candidate, and Chunxia Travel came first and blocked the road.
"Boss Qin, what I mean is... why?" Shen Yishan was obviously a little anxious: "There shouldn't be any unpleasantness during our cooperation, why do you want to terminate the contract suddenly?"
Qin Yi waited for a while before slowly picking up the teacup: "Your sudden use is very good. If there is no accident, we will indeed renew the contract with you."
"But now an accident has happened." Shen Yishan gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Qin, can you tell us something? Perhaps we can still save it."
"Save?" Qin Yi seemed to have heard something ridiculous, put down the teacup, and stood up. In front of the short and fat Shen Yishan, Qin Yi's figure seemed so perfect, and the nobleness from the bottom of his heart was not comparable to Shen Yishan.
Qin Yi raised his chin and said, "Shen Yishan, it took you 17 years to get from being a dispatcher to your current position. I originally thought that someone like you who worked your way up from the bottom would have enough vision. However, it seems that I was wrong."
The executive vice president of Jianchuan Airlines was actually a dispatcher of Tiandong Airlines. He spent the first ten years of his career at Tiandong Airlines, and later jumped to Jianchuan Airlines when the route was just starting out. Perhaps this decision was the most important one in his life. As a founding member, he jumped from a middle-level manager to a senior manager.
Generally speaking, people who have worked hard to get to the top are very good at judging people, which is why Qin Yi is disappointed with Shen Yishan.
"You asked why just now?" Qin Yi said coldly, "There is nothing wrong with you or Jianchuan Airlines, but you are on the wrong side. This is the reason. Is it enough?"
Shen Yishan was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled, his mind turned over and over again, but he couldn't figure out what wrong decision Jianchuan Airlines made regarding the spring and summer travel industry.
"Boss Qin, I... I don't understand, I still don't understand, where did I stand on the wrong side?" Shen Yishan fell into panic. Qin Yi's statement was the most fatal. The issue of standing on the side is always a matter of principle. Although he didn't understand where he did wrong, it seemed that there was no turning back on this matter.
"Does Lu Jinghua know?" Qin Yi suddenly asked.
"Lu Jinghua?" Shen Yishan was stunned, and then responded: "Former general manager of the flight department of Blue Sky Airlines?"
The work area of ​​Jianchuan Airport is not large, and the airlines have some understanding of each other. It is reasonable for Shen Yishan to know Lu Jinghua.
"So what do you think of his future?" Qin Yi continued to ask.
"This..." Shen Yishan didn't quite understand what Qin Yi meant. They were talking about the cooperation between Jianchuan Airlines and Chunxia Travel, so why did the topic suddenly change to Lu Jinghua? To be honest, in Shen Yishan's heart, Lu Jinghua was just an ordinary person, nothing special at all.
However, Shen Yishan couldn't speak his mind directly. He organized his words a little: "If he had stayed at Blue Sky Airlines, he might have been able to get the position of Vice President of Operations. But that would have been the end of his career."
Qin Yi chuckled and said, "Why do you think so?"
"Because he has no backer." Shen Yishan gritted his teeth and said, "I can better understand where the ceiling is for people like us who have no backer and no background. There are only a few people who can ignore everything. Most people still have to choose a suitable backer."
"That's right!" Qin Yi nodded and said, "Lu Jinghua has some abilities, but they are limited to some abilities. However, you are wrong about one thing. His future will be far higher than yours. You two are not on the same level at all."
Shen Yishan obviously didn't expect Qin Yi to make such a comparison. The muscles on his face twitched twice, and he obviously didn't agree with what Qin Yi said.
He climbed up step by step from the bottom, and he only had his own pride. How could he be willing to be evaluated like this by Qin Yi?
If he was compared to Qin Yi, he was convinced. But if he was compared to Lu Jinghua, Shen Yishan asked himself if he was inferior to him at all.
"Boss Qin, we seem to have gone off topic." It was obvious that Shen Yishan didn't want to continue this topic. On the one hand, this was the truth, Lu Jinghua had nothing to do with the cooperation between the two parties, and on the other hand, Shen Yishan couldn't stand Qin Yi's words, but he didn't dare to refute Qin Yi, so he had to avoid the topic.
However, Qin Yi snorted, "You think it's biased, but I don't think it's biased at all. You just said that there are only a very small number of people who ignore everything, so you only judge your position based on the most superficial cognition. Yes, Lu Jinghua is about the same as you in ability, but his future is much higher than yours. Back then, you resigned from your middle-level position in Tiandong Airlines and came to the newly established Jianchuan Airlines. This was a turning point in your life. Now Lu Jinghua has done the same thing, and he has found his own backer, that is, the destiny that you mentioned that ignores everything. For ordinary people, finding a backer is indeed very important, but it is obvious that Lu Jinghua's vision is much better than yours."
Shen Yishan's body trembled violently and he took a step back unconsciously, his mouth slightly open. If he still couldn't hear it by now, then his past forty years would have been wasted.
"Xu...Xu Cang?" Shen Yishan took a deep breath, hoping to calm the surging beating in his heart: "You are talking about Xu Cang! He...he is the source of everything."
At this moment, Shen Yishan finally realized where he had chosen the wrong side.
"Impossible, why did you listen to him?" Due to the huge shock, Shen Yishan even forgot the etiquette of addressing Qin Yi.
However, Qin Yi obviously didn't care about these minor issues. He looked at Shen Yishan with some pity: "Do you think that you can force Xu Cang to surrender by joining forces with Blue Sky Airlines and Muhua Airlines Jianchuan Base? Do you know what you are doing?"
Qin Yi sighed: "You are making a decision for Xu Cang."
"Make up your mind, make...what decision?" Shen Yishan's heart skipped a beat.
"If you behave yourself, given Xu Cang's personality, even if he has the priority of Jianchuan Airport, he might still allow you to have some soup. Xu Cang has a grudge with Blue Sky Airlines and Muhua Airlines Jianchuan Base, that's their business. You have a grudge against Xu Cang, why do you get involved?" Qin Yi said coldly: "Guoda Airlines is still too lax. But it's true, in their minds, you are just an insignificant holding subsidiary. If you accidentally annoy Xu Cang, you can just lose it, it's no big deal. Now, these little actions of yours have confirmed Xu Cang's idea..."
Shen Yishan was terrified after hearing these words. He felt as if he had offended a powerful being: "What...what is he going to do?"
"You will be trampled underfoot as a stepping stone for the new king to ascend the throne." Qin Yi said, "Moreover, your actions will definitely be known to the industry, and then Xu Cang's counterattack will not be logical and justified. By then, no one will help you."
Shen Yishan shook his body again. He could understand what Qin Yi said. If Xu Cang used the priority of Jianchuan Airport to provoke them, it would be considered as deliberate suppression. Even if he would not be restricted by the General Administration, he would cause disgust in the industry and be isolated.
But now, the dispute was first provoked by the three of them. Then Xu Cang's counterattack is no longer suppression, but a fair and just equal measure. Not only will it not give people the impression of power and hegemony, but it will make others feel that the three of them have brought it upon themselves.
"How could this happen? His company has only been established for a year. What right does he have to fight us?" At this time, Shen Yishan let out a hysterical roar, completely disregarding his image: "It took me 17 years to climb to my current position. How can a kid in his twenties rule the entire southwest? Why?"
Looking at Shen Yishan who was already mad with jealousy, Qin Yi had a blank expression on his face. He just said lightly: "Do you know what Xu Cang's greatest advantage is? That is that he was born rich! He is the destiny that ignores everything. But it doesn't matter. Now it's just an appetizer. When he comes back, none of you three families will be able to escape."
After saying this, Qin Yi seemed to be a little bored. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go! I'll send someone to take over the termination of the contract."
Just as Qin Yi walked to the door of the office, Shen Yishan's somewhat distraught voice suddenly came from behind him: "Boss Qin, do you think I still have a chance to regret it?"
Qin Yi stopped and looked at Shen Yishan, who had calmed down but looked extremely depressed: "That depends on what you do."
…
At this moment, at the entrance of the Hanjing National University Aviation Simulator Center, a taxi appeared at the door. Xu Cang, who was dressed in a uniform, got out of the car, adjusted his clothes a little, and went inside.
Xu Cang didn't have the door card for the simulator center, so he walked to the small door, waved inside, and shouted to the security guard: "Uncle, help me open the door."
"What are you doing?" It can only be said that Guoda Airlines is worthy of being the largest airline in China. Even the doorman has a grimmer temper than the doormen of other airlines. The doormen of other airlines would have opened the door long ago when they saw Xu Cang's uniform, but this one deliberately asked.
Xu Cang didn't mind: "I fly a simulator."
"Flying a simulator, isn't your uniform from our National University?"
Xu Cang was speechless. This security guard was too nosy. However, he still showed his flight boarding pass: "I'm from Spring Airlines."
"Spring Airlines? Never heard of it." The security guard raised his eyelids, the wrinkles on his face squeezed a few times, glanced at the flight attendant boarding pass that Xu Cang showed, and walked over slowly. It seemed that he was finally going to open the small door for Xu Cang.
When Xu Cang saw the security guard coming over, he felt relieved.
However, the security guard walked to the door and was about to open it when he suddenly retracted his hand and locked his eyes on Xu Cang's face with a hint of doubt on his face.
This behavior made Xu Cang think that there was something on his face, and he touched his face: "Is there any problem?"
But the security guard didn't answer, instead he stretched his neck and looked closer at Xu Cang. After a while, just when Xu Cang couldn't stand it anymore, the security guard suddenly ran into the training center, shouting as he ran: "The arsonist is here!"
Xu Cang: “…”
In a review room at the simulator training center, the representative of the Muhua Aviation Jianchuan Base had already arrived, and across from his desk was a captain with four stripes. Xu Cang was not the only one who was inspected this time, there was also a captain from Feiyu Airlines.
At this moment, there were less than five minutes left before the inspection began, but Xu Cang still hadn't shown up.
"This co-pilot of Spring Airlines is so arrogant that he made us wait for him." The representative of Muhua Airlines Jianchuan Base sneered, seeming extremely dissatisfied with Xu Cang's long absence.
In fact, for this kind of inspection, you usually need to arrive ten or fifteen minutes early. This is a matter of attitude. Of course, not arriving early is not a hard standard for passing the inspection, but it will greatly affect the inspector's impression of the inspected person, which is relatively important.
The captain of Feiyu Airlines echoed: "Yes, young people nowadays are a little ignorant. Teacher Wang, how about I go first?"
According to the schedule, Xu Cang should fly first, followed by the captain. Of course, this is not unchangeable. As long as they are discussed, it doesn't matter who goes first or later.
"Okay. If you let him fly first, I'll kill him. I'm afraid I won't be able to cooperate with you well later."
Xu Cang and the captain of Feiyu Airlines just happened to cooperate with each other, so there was no need to find another person. It can be seen that Instructor Wang had no intention of targeting the captain of Feiyu Airlines and intended to conduct a normal inspection. This made the captain of Feiyu Airlines secretly relieved. During this period, a large number of captains in the southwest region were suspended, of course, most of them were from Spring Airlines. However, under such a big environment, the captain of Feiyu Airlines was also worried about being affected.
However, listening to what Teacher Wang said, it was basically a preconceived position. It seemed that the co-pilot of Spring Airlines was doomed.
Of course, this is normal. Not to mention the co-pilot, the captain of Spring Airlines was killed without mercy, and it is no news that Spring Airlines is being targeted. I just don't know what Spring Airlines did to be boycotted by a number of companies.
If this continues, Spring Airlines may be out of pilots. I heard from his friends that Spring Airlines has already started to cancel flights, and many of the reasons are due to insufficient capacity. The impact of a large number of pilots being suspended has begun to show.
However, speaking of it, the co-pilot of Spring Airlines was indeed a bit outrageous. The inspection by the authorities was always on time, and they were very arrogant.
Thinking about this, the captain of Feiyu Airlines took out his phone and wanted to look through the emails about the previous simulator plan. Before, he didn't pay much attention to who was cooperating with him. In the eyes of the captain, what difference could there be between the co-pilot and the co-pilot? But now it's different. He is still somewhat interested in the co-pilot who is so arrogant.
Seeing the Feiyu Airlines captain's actions, Instructor Wang glanced at his mobile phone screen and asked, "Are you checking your email?"
"Yes, let me take a look at the simulator plan."
Instructor Wang looked at his watch. There was only one minute left before the start time, but the co-pilot from Spring Airlines had not yet appeared. "If he is late, then he will miss one flight today. I will just sign him off as unqualified. By the way, what is that person's name? This is the first time I have encountered someone who is late for an inspection by the authority."
Like the captain of Feiyu Airlines, this instructor Wang did not look closely at who he was going to inspect. Although he had already planned to hang someone before coming, he was still a little surprised to encounter such an outrageous thing as being late for the inspection by the bureau.
He wanted to see who was so brave!
"Wait a moment!" The captain of Feiyu Airlines flipped through the previous email, clicked on the personnel attachment, and was stunned when he saw the co-pilot's name.
Instructor Wang frowned when he saw the captain was silent. "What's wrong? Who is it?"
Just as Teacher Wang finished speaking, a loud voice came from outside the door: "It's me!"
Teacher Wang was stunned when he heard the voice: "This voice..."
Then, under the somewhat surprised gaze of Teacher Wang, Xu Cang slowly walked in. As soon as he sat down, he looked at his watch and smiled, "The time is just right!"
Actually, Xu Cang came earlier. It was just that there were some minor problems at the door. Since he had burned a simulator here before, Xu Cang had some "reputation" here. This time, when he returned to the old place, the guard recognized him and let him in after a lot of persuasion.
"You..." Teacher Wang knew Xu Cang, and he was obviously not prepared for Xu Cang's appearance: "What are you doing here?"
"Accept the inspection." Xu Cang said with a smile: "Aren't you going to inspect our company's co-pilot? I am, a genuine level 4 co-pilot."
Instructor Wang's mouth twitched and he fell silent. The captain of Feiyu Airlines next to him quietly put away his phone and said nothing. For a moment, the entire review room fell into an eerie silence.
"Teacher Wang?" Xu Cang asked, "Any questions? If you have any doubts about my level, I can show you my business license."
"No, no." The muscles on Teacher Wang's face trembled a few times: "I know you are the co-pilot. I have no doubt about this. I just want to ask...what are you doing here?"
Xu Cang smiled even more brightly: "Didn't I tell you? Accept the inspection by the bureau. You want to inspect the co-pilot, and I happen to be the co-pilot, so here I am, right? Instructor Wang, you said there are no doubts, but why do you keep saying things I don't understand?"
"But..." Instructor Wang licked his dry lips: "You can ask another co-pilot to come over."
"Let another co-pilot come over?" Xu Cang's smile disappeared instantly: "And then let you hang up?"
It is hard to imagine such a question happening in such an occasion, and it was the inspector who was being inspected who was asking the inspector, especially when the inspector was a representative of the authority. The captain of Feiyu Airlines next to him did not dare to say a word. In such a confrontation, as a captain, he should not interrupt, so as not to get into trouble.
However, Xu Cang was too strong. He was just a level 4 co-pilot, but he made the bureau representative dare not even say a word.
Teacher Wang was silent again because he didn't know how or what to say.
Spring Airlines and Xu Cang cannot be equated. If he is asked to target Spring Airlines, he dares! If he is asked to target Xu Cang, he dares not!
"What's wrong? Check it out. Now should be the theoretical inquiry, right? Ask whatever you want. We only have one hour." Xu Cang sat there, standing still like a mountain. "Recently, the questions our co-pilot asks when turning to the left seat seem to be very interesting. I hope Instructor Wang can make me feel happy too."
Teacher Wang took a deep breath and asked in a calm tone, "Xu Cang, where is your checklist?"
Xu Cang raised his eyebrows, but still took out a list: "Here it is, what's wrong?"
Teacher Wang took Xu Cang's list directly, ticked the "passed" column at the bottom, signed his name, and then gave it back to Xu Cang: "You passed, no need to check, go back."
After saying that, Instructor Wang looked at the captain of Feiyu Airlines and said, "You have a base in Hanjing, right? Ask your company to send someone over to cooperate."
The captain of Feiyu Airlines' eyelids twitched when he saw this. Instructor Wang wanted to send Xu Cang away as if he were sending away the plague god. He didn't even check him and directly signed that he was qualified.
"Then should I make a phone call?" asked the captain of Feiyu Airlines.
Teacher Wang waved his hand and said, "Go find someone quickly."
Little did he know that just as the captain of Feiyu Airlines was getting ready, Xu Cang pressed down on his shoulder.
"Who are you looking for? I'll just cooperate."
"No, no, you've passed it, haven't you?" Teacher Wang said hurriedly, "Just go back and have a rest."
However, Xu Cang shook his head: "Wouldn't the extra two hours be wasted? How about this, there happens to be a captain here, if he cooperates with you, it should be enough."
Teacher Wang was startled: "Cooperate with me, what do you want to cooperate with?"
"I've checked your plan. There are no flights or simulator missions in the two days before and after. There will be no problem during the duty period and rest period." Xu Cang played with his flight attendant boarding pass, and then said lightly: "I am exercising temporary supervisory power over you in the name of the first-level flight commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization, number 41357. From now on, you have one hour to object to the procedure of exercising my supervisory power. However, if after one hour, you have no reason to refuse this supervision, then please enter the simulator obediently."
Teacher Wang was stunned: "You...what are you going to do?"
"What should I do?" Xu Cang laughed: "Of course I will check you!"
