On the skywalk of Tiandong Airlines' headquarters building, Chairman Gu Chen and Director of Strategy Zhou Yanping were leisurely drinking tea together. Although the master and apprentice were more than ten years apart in age, it was hard to tell the age difference just from their appearance. It could even be said that Gu Chen seemed younger.
Gu Chen doesn't look like the helmsman of a giant airline, but more like a scholar, with an elegant temperament and a literary air.
"Yanping, I want you to join the board of directors in this re-election. Although I have already said hello, you should also go out with the directors. You will see each other every day in the future. It is inconvenient to have too much distance." Gu Chen tasted his tea carefully: "I like this Maofeng. However, the Longjing you gave me a few days ago is also good. Oh, this green tea is still refreshing."
"Black tea is too strong and I can't get used to it." Zhou Yanping agreed.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "I saw you drinking tea like water, and I thought you didn't care much about the quality of the tea."
Indeed, for the same cup of tea, Gu Chen had only drunk a small half, while Zhou Yanping had almost finished it, he was totally guzzling it.
"It's not like I don't have a sense of taste, so I can naturally tell the difference. It's just that I'm not as particular as you, Master. As an ordinary person, I'll just accept anything that's about right." Zhou Yanping chuckled.
"They say that ordinary people love money and power. This isn't the first time I've recommended you to join the board of directors, right? This isn't the first time I've asked you to spend more time with the directors, right? So, did you listen to me, or are you planning to turn a deaf ear to my words this time?"
"If I join the board of directors, I will be restricted in what I do, which is very troublesome. My current position is just right, and the board of directors is not very strict with me. Master, you can support me. But if I join the board of directors, I will have to accept the board of directors' rules and regulations. Moreover, if I join the board of directors, I may not be able to keep my position as the head of the strategic department. Will I be a director who lives a peaceful life and does not care about anything in the future? Isn't this just being a parasite? It's very boring."
The board of directors is the decision-making level, but at the executive level, Zhou Yanping, the head of the strategy department, is quite critical. In a large enterprise like Tiandong, it is not allowed for the same person to hold key positions at both the decision-making and executive levels at the same time, as this can easily cause some problems.
Just like an independent director who is born in the board of directors for supervision, he is not allowed to hold any other position to prevent himself from getting entangled with other things and being unable to properly perform his supervisory responsibilities.
Relatively speaking, other directors are not as strict about holding other positions part-time, but according to the default rules, the position held part-time cannot be too important, otherwise it would be like being both an athlete and a referee.
Gu Chen snorted, "But if you want to take over my job, you have to take this step. Among the successors of the three major airlines, Yi Feng is the youngest, but the strongest, but it's a pity that he has left now. Ma Cheng's situation is better than yours, but there are too many factions in Muhua Airlines, so generally speaking, you two are equally matched. However, Ma Cheng has an advantage, that is, he has Si Lao to protect him. When the predecessor of Muhua Airlines, Yangcheng Transport Squadron, was established, Si Lao was there. As long as Si Lao protects Ma Cheng, even if many factions in Muhua Airlines are not convinced by Ma Cheng, for the sake of Si Lao's face, as long as Ma Cheng does not do too much, there is a high probability that nothing will go wrong. Your situation is the most embarrassing. I don't have as much prestige as Si Lao, and your ability is slightly inferior to Yi Feng, so you can only take the conventional path. Joining the board of directors and resigning from the position of head of the strategic department are your only options."
"Master, isn't it good to be like the past few years?"
"I'm not Si Lao, whose qualifications allow him to sit on the chairman's seat of Muhua Airlines without causing any doubts. I feel that I only have five years left at most. After five years, whether I like it or not, I will leave my current position. In other words, I only have five years left to pave the way for you. In the first two years, I went along with you, but now you have to listen to me." Gu Chen sighed, "Now that civil aviation control has been relaxed, the situation has changed too much. To be honest, I am not sure whether I can sit on the position for another five years. Even if I pave the way for you for five years, it is hard to say whether you can successfully take over, so you can't have your own ideas this time."
Zhou Yanping's face was a little gloomy. Gu Chen seldom spoke to him so bluntly, and up to now, Gu Chen's words were a bit harsh.
Gu Chen didn't wait for Zhou Yanping to say anything, and said directly: "I'll make the decision for you this time, just listen to me."
Now that things had come to this, Zhou Yanping could no longer disobey his master and lowered his head: "I understand, Master."
Gu Chen was very satisfied with his apprentice's obedience, which meant that Zhou Yanping had the idea of ​​doing practical things. If it were someone else, he would have chosen to join the board of directors long ago.
That's the difference between people.
"Yanping, I heard that Xu Cang is trying to get us to open two Shanghai-Japan routes for ANA?" Gu Chen didn't dwell too much on the topic of joining the board of directors, but quickly changed the subject. He also knew that his apprentice was very disgusted with the topic of joining the board of directors, and since Zhou Yanping nodded in agreement, he should just stop there.
Zhou Yanping's interest became higher when Xu Cang was mentioned. He smiled and said, "If it's just two points, it's not an excessive request. Spring Airlines now has priority at Jianchuan Airport. Although Jianchuan Airport is not a hub airport, it is an important airport in the southwest after all. We can also receive some care at Jianchuan Airport in the future. We still have a branch in Jianchuan, so this is still necessary. Moreover, we helped ANA today, which is also a favor. Now that Japan Airlines is in obvious decline, it's better to make preparations for both situations."
"Not only Shanghai, Xu Cang is also trying to win over Guangzhou. It seems that he has some agreement with ANA." Gu Chen sighed, "The young are really formidable. Shanghai can just give him some convenience. ANA can ask for something in return, but for Xu Cang, let him experience it himself. I believe he is a sensible child. By the way, I have no objection to your changing the supply of in-flight fruit, but it is not right for you to directly and rudely terminate the cooperation with Xinmu Fruit Industry. You have to know that Xinmu Fruit Industry is a charitable enterprise that employs many old, weak and disabled people. Even if you pay liquidated damages, it will have a bad social impact if this kind of thing is spread. Our Tiandong is not a completely private enterprise, so we still have to pay more attention to the social impact."
Zhou Yanping became more serious: "Master, I will personally take care of this matter later."
"Well, it's good for you to know."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Zhou Yanping's phone rang. In front of his master, Zhou Yanping had nothing to hide and answered the phone directly: "What's wrong?"
After a while, Zhou Yanping hung up the phone with a strange look on his face. Beside him, Gu Chen noticed Zhou Yanping's expression and couldn't help wondering: "What happened?"
"Master, a while ago, Spring Airlines lost a lot of captains during the investigation. This is not normal. I guess they were targeted. As far as I know, most of Spring Airlines' captains were killed by Blue Sky Airlines, Jianchuan Airlines and Muhua Airlines Jianchuan Base, but Spring Airlines did not have a representative appointed by the authorities, so they could not fight back when being targeted. As a result, I just received news that Xu Cang, relying on the supervisory power of the ICAO flight commissioner, actually conducted a temporary inspection of a representative appointed by the authorities at the Jianchuan base of Muhua Airlines, right at the simulator center of Guoda Airlines."
"The ICAO flight specialist has the right to conduct a temporary inspection of a specific person?" Gu Chen really didn't know about this regulation. Mainly because he didn't have any dealings with the ICAO. It was obvious at a glance that this regulation was from ICAO and had nothing to do with the local CCAR.
"I'm not really sure about this. However, there was a topic on aviation safety at the 32nd ICAO Assembly in 1998, which included ICAO's safety review of its members. It's possible that the relevant regulations were set at that assembly, but I'm not sure. I don't even know whether CAAC chose to comply with the regulations of the assembly at that time."
Some of the regulations formulated by the ICAO Assembly are mandatory, but some are based on the principle of voluntariness. For example, the resolution of the 32nd Assembly on ICAO's right to conduct safety reviews of its members is clearly a voluntary provision.
Of course, this is Zhou Yanping's own guess. Because such resolutions usually damage the interests of the local civil aviation bureau. If it is still mandatory, wouldn't it be a big deal?
"However, based on my understanding of Xu Cang, he must have something to rely on if he dares to do this. I'm afraid there are really relevant clauses." Gu Chen was a little helpless: "Young people are very enthusiastic. Isn't the representative appointed by the bureau also a member of CAAC? How can there be a precedent of hanging up the representative appointed by the bureau?"
Zhou Yanping was stunned: "Master, what do you mean, are you saying that the General Administration will intervene?"
"What else?" Gu Chen asked back, "The Civil Aviation Conference will be held in Hanjing soon. If this matter gets out, the negative impact will be too great, and the General Administration will definitely not sit idly by. However, if it is according to your opinion, the International Civil Aviation Organization does have relevant provisions, then the General Administration will probably tend to control the intensity of the situation rather than completely suppress it. After all, they also have to consider Xu Cang's feelings. However, it is not easy to balance the two sides. If you are not careful, you will offend both sides. It all depends on the ability of the General Administration."
"I feel like this is a big deal." Zhou Yanping laughed, with a gloating expression on his face, "It seems that the CEO of Muhua Hanjing Branch, Cheng Fengzi, has gone there. If he goes there, this matter will be a big deal, hehehe."
"Cheng Qiming?"
Zhou Yanping smiled even brighter: "Who else could it be?"
"To be honest, when something like this happens, Ma Cheng should choose to keep quiet, or at least stand by and watch. How can he let Cheng Qiming go? Isn't this exacerbating the situation?" Gu Chen finished his words with a smile on his face, "It seems that the situation at Muhua Airlines Lishantou is much more serious than we imagined. The Xianchi branch is already somewhat unruly, and now the Hanjing branch is the same. Two of the top three branches of Muhua Airlines have already disobeyed orders. Tsk tsk tsk. I seem to have to take back my judgment of Ma Cheng just now. His situation doesn't seem to be much better than yours."
"Master, you mean that Muhua Airlines is now relying on Master Si alone to hold it together. Once Master Si leaves, Muhua will fall apart?"
"That's not the case." Gu Chen shook his head: "It doesn't really matter whether Mr. Si retires or not. He is the symbol of Muhua. Even if he resigns as chairman, everyone in Muhua will listen to him. As long as Mr. Si is here, Muhua will stay in peace."
Zhou Yanping seemed to have heard the deeper meaning in Gu Chen's words, and asked carefully: "Master, do you mean to wait until Mr. Si... leaves?"
"Mr. Si is old now. I went to see him some time ago and he was not in good spirits. I am afraid his time limit is coming soon. Mr. Si and my master are of the same generation, but Mr. Si has been at the helm of Muhua Airlines for decades, and his mental and physical exhaustion is far greater than my master's. At about the same age, my master is still in good spirits, but Mr. Si is much more listless in comparison." Gu Chen said with some regret: "Once Mr. Si leaves, Ma Cheng will definitely not be able to control the situation. Muhua is likely to be in chaos."
Zhou Yanping's expression turned serious: "Master, what should we do to prepare?"
"Let's wait and see how things develop. If Cheng Qiming makes a big deal out of this, even though it's just his own behavior, it's Muhua Airlines that's losing face. I'll see how Ma Cheng handles it. Our Northeast was taken away by Guoda Airlines, and I'm afraid we won't get it back. However, it seems that Muhua Airlines' Northwest region is also unstable, so maybe they can make up for it in the Northwest." Gu Chen thought for a while: "Xu Cang should also be interested in the Northwest."
Zhou Yanping scratched his head: "I'm not sure about this either."
"What is there to be unsure of? This kid has high aspirations. Is he really willing to live in the southwest?" Gu Chen said confidently, "It seems that we can't wait for him to come to our house. Go back and tell him to come over. I need to talk to him in person about some things."
Zhou Yanping's heart sank, wondering if they were planning to join forces with Xu Cang to attack Muhua Airlines' northwest region.
…
"What, Cheng Qiming went?" At Muhua Airlines' Yangcheng headquarters, Ma Cheng heard his subordinates report that the president of the Hanjing branch had personally gone to see Xu Cang, and he immediately flew into a rage: "Shouldn't he be preparing to attend the Civil Aviation Conference at this time? Why is he interfering in such a matter? "
The subordinate was sweating coldly: "This... It seems that General Zheng from Jianchuan Base contacted General Cheng directly. When we received the news from the National University Simulator Training Center, we originally planned to ask the Hanjing Branch to inquire about the details, but they said that General Cheng went directly there and postponed the meeting at the Civil Aviation Conference."
Ma Cheng's face turned pale. "Everyone has their own ideas. The Jianchuan base had it all to blame. The Jianchuan branch of Guoda and Tiandong got involved, and they were eager to be the vanguard. Now they're in trouble, and they want us to clean up their mess."
"Boss Ma, maybe the Jianchuan base's company quota was traded to Spring Airlines, and the people in the Jianchuan base are resentful."
"I don't care whether he has any resentment or not. Now that Xu Cang has started to establish his authority, they want to tie up our entire Muhua." Ma Cheng gritted his teeth, his mind working rapidly.
The current situation is indeed difficult to deal with. Hanjing Branch is one of the largest branches of Muhua Airlines, and its scale has exceeded that of a mid-stream airline. To be honest, if Cheng Qiming is determined to ignore the order of Yangcheng Headquarters, things will be difficult to deal with.
Moreover, when Zheng Yuanming of Jianchuan Base encountered problems, he did not seek help from the headquarters first, but contacted Cheng Qiming first. This kind of group behavior can explain a lot of things.
"Clique?" Compared with Cheng Qiming's reckless behavior of the Hanjing branch, the behavior of Jianchuan base and Hanjing branch forming a group made Ma Cheng feel more threatened.
Ma Cheng turned his favorite gold pen and suddenly asked, "Can you contact Cheng Qiming?"
"I called Mr. Cheng's personal phone once, and he picked up the phone, and told us to ignore it, and then I never got through again."
"Damn it." Ma Cheng raised his hands, but when he thought about smashing his own gold pen, he could only suppress his anger. Cheng Qiming's words were very clear, and the Yangcheng headquarters had no control over him at all.
To be honest, Ma Cheng’s resume is not very good and his background is not good either.
Like Yi Feng before Guoda Airlines, he was truly super capable and really overwhelmed those people in Guoda Airlines. Zhou Yanping of Tiandong Airlines was slightly less capable, but he had a master-disciple relationship with the chairman of Tiandong Airlines. Only Ma Cheng was not more capable than Yi Feng, and he was older than Yi Feng. To be honest, he did not have a close relationship with Si Weimin, which was the most fatal thing.
Si Weimin chose Ma Cheng as the head of the strategic department. Rather than admiring him, it was more like he had no other choice. Muhua Airlines did not have a suitable candidate, so they had to choose Ma Cheng reluctantly. The consequence of this difficult choice was that Si Weimin was not actually enthusiastic about training Ma Cheng.
Of course, Si Weimin didn't really ignore Ma Cheng, but his subconscious mind determined Si Weimin's behavior. Among the successors of the three major airlines, Ma Cheng was actually the worst, or to be more precise, he would face the most problems in the future.
Just like the provincial governors in ancient times, they have become de facto military governors.
Ma Cheng could see clearly that Si Weimin would not be around for many years. Once Si Weimin passed away, even if he could take over Si Weimin's job, it was still unknown whether he could stabilize the entire Muhua Airlines in the future. Thinking of this, Ma Cheng couldn't help but feel a little resentful, because Si Weimin had never supported him unreservedly, which made some people in the branch companies have other ideas.
Xu Cang wants to establish his authority now. If Cheng Qiming goes there at this time, wouldn't that be walking into Xu Cang's trap?
But he couldn't order Cheng Qiming at all. In ancient times, the emperor was sidelined, so his orders could not leave the capital. Now he couldn't order anything beyond the Guangzhou headquarters. Except for the Guangzhou headquarters, the other powerful branches knew how to obey in public but disobey in private. There was nothing he could do.
"Boss Ma, what should we do now?" The subordinates also knew that the situation was urgent. Xu Cang used the Jianchuan base to establish his authority, so Muhua Airlines could shirk responsibility by saying that a small number of people were ungrateful. But if the president of the Hanjing branch got involved, this argument would not hold water. If Xu Cang mistakenly believed that Muhua Airlines was on his side, wouldn't that bring trouble to Muhua Airlines out of thin air?
However, seeing Ma Cheng's uncertain expression, his subordinates knew that Ma Cheng really had no other options.
But at this moment, the subordinate's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone casually, and soon, the subordinate suddenly straightened his body, his posture became serious, and soon he handed the phone to Ma Cheng: "Mr. Ma, the chairman wants to see you."
"Hmm?" Ma Cheng was startled and took the phone: "Chairman?"
Si Weimin's voice soon came from the other side: "I heard that Cheng Qiming wants to get involved in Xu Cang's affairs?"
"I just got the news too." Ma Cheng said respectfully.
"Hey, Jianchuan Base got into trouble, and Hanjing Branch stood up for him. It's really interesting." Si Weimin obviously had something else in his words: "Ma Cheng, can you call Cheng Qiming back?"
Ma Cheng was stunned for a moment, his face darkened instantly, he was silent for ten seconds, and finally said: "Cheng Qiming didn't answer the phone."
"Then there's nothing you can do?"
The muscles on Ma Cheng's face twitched a few times: "I'm still trying to figure it out."
"Forget it. I happen to be in Hanjing. I'll take care of it. You don't have to worry about it."
After saying that, without waiting for Ma Cheng to say anything, Si Weimin hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Ma Cheng's face turned pale, but he was helpless. He could feel that Si Weimin had begun to lose patience with him.
In the lobby of a hotel in Hanjing, Si Weimin returned the phone to Si Linglong who was beside him.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? You don't look well." Si Linglong put away her phone, took Si Weimin's arm, and asked with concern.
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t seen my grandfather for too long, but Si Linglong feels that Si Weimin seems to be aging very quickly, which makes her a little worried.
"Nothing, I just ran into some troubles." Si Weimin sighed, "Muhua Airlines has really been a worry for me my entire life."
Si Weimin patted the back of Si Linglong's hand and asked, "How long will you stay with me this time?"
"I asked the company for seven days of annual leave. However, they only approved me ten days. I don't know why."
Si Weimin laughed: "Maybe it was Xu Cang who ordered it."
Si Linglong blinked her eyes: "He runs around all day long and is rarely seen in the company. How can he still care about me?"
Si Weimin looked at Si Linglong who was at the most intense moment of her life, and suddenly asked: "Linglong, do you hate Xu Cang?"
"Ah?" Si Linglong was shocked by Si Weimin's words: "Why would I hate him?"
"So do you like him?"
Being asked so bluntly, Si Linglong couldn't help but blush: "Grandpa, why are you talking about this?"
Si Weimin sighed and said, "I just talked to Ma Cheng on the phone. Something happened at the Hanjing branch, but he couldn't do anything about it. I gave him so much time, but he still couldn't spread his influence to the entire Muhua Airlines."
"Isn't Ma Cheng doing a good job?"
Si Weimin looked at the busy scene outside the hotel and said with emotion, "But it's limited to the Yangcheng headquarters. Xianchi Branch and Hanjing Branch don't obey him at all, and even Jianchuan Base dares to do something behind his back. Fortunately, the CEO of Tianning Branch is indifferent, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control any of the three most important branches."
Perhaps Si Weimin had some hope for Ma Cheng before, but in this matter, Si Weimin has seen clearly that Ma Cheng may be an extremely good general, but he does not seem to be a commander who can command the overall situation.
Si Linglong said: "It's okay. This kind of thing can only be done with time to accumulate experience. Ma Cheng is still young."
"Young? Is he still young?" Si Weimin sighed heavily, "But I'm not young anymore. I can't wait any longer. Choosing Ma Cheng was a helpless move. Now it seems that it would have been better to leave the position vacant."
Si Linglong could feel Si Weimin's powerlessness as a hero in his twilight years and his deep worry about the future of Muhua Airlines.
"But now, there seems to be no better candidate than Ma Cheng, right?" Si Linglong said.
Suddenly, Si Weimin turned to Si Linglong and said, "If we can pull Xu Cang over now and let him inherit Muhua Airlines..."
"This..." Si Linglong was shocked by Si Weimin's words: "Xu Cang has his own Spring Airlines, how could he... how could he come to Muhua Airlines?"
Si Linglong looked at Si Weimin, whose eyes were fixed on her, and her face suddenly turned pale: "Grandpa, you can't do this. In this day and age, how can such a thing still exist?"
"Times may change, but some things will never change." Si Weimin shook his head: "Xu Cang is the most perfect candidate for my grandson-in-law from any angle. Taking over Muhua Airlines is a big deal. I am not confident just by pulling him over. There must be something that can tie him to Muhua Airlines forever."
"But you can't use me as the price." Si Linglong let go of Si Weimin, her eyes already red.
Si Weimin grabbed Si Linglong and said, "Linglong, your parents passed away early. When I am gone, who can you rely on in this world? Before I close my eyes, I must find someone you can rely on. Maybe you think that grandpa is too arbitrary now, but when you grow up, you will understand that Xu Cang is the most suitable one."
Si Linglong could not accept such a result no matter what, but for some reason, after Si Weimin mentioned this, Xu Cang's figure began to appear in her mind uncontrollably. Why did she come to Spring Airlines from Guoda Airlines?
It was because of the forced landing near the coast of Qizhou that Si Linglong witnessed Xu Cang's miraculous performance with her own eyes.
If you were to ask how much Si Linglong opposed it, perhaps it was more because she was disgusted with Si Weimin planning her future, but she naturally didn't hate Xu Cang at all.
Yes, what woman can refuse a man like Xu Cang?
"Perhaps, if all this happened, it wouldn't be so unacceptable?" For some reason, Si Linglong suddenly had this idea.
However, the moment this thought came to her mind, Si Linglong was shocked. She actually began to accept all of this from the bottom of her heart.
Si Weimin stroked Si Linglong's long hair, his eyes full of love: "Linglong, you are my most precious pearl. Forgive grandpa this time. As a token of my gratitude, the entire Muhua Airlines will become your dowry."
…
At the NUS Aviation Simulator Training Center, an hour passed in a flash. When the time was almost up, Xu Cang slowly walked down from upstairs to the first floor lobby. In front of him was Instructor Wang who was still on the phone.
"The time is almost up." Xu Cang pointed at his watch: "If you haven't found any loopholes in my program, then... let's get started."
Teacher Wang's face was covered with cold sweat. He kept looking out the door but didn't move at all.
Xu Cang noticed Teacher Wang's movements and looked outside the door: "Waiting for someone?"
Teacher Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Cang, don't be complacent. Someone will come and take care of you soon."
However, Xu Cang had heard this kind of boring warning too many times. He slowly pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket: "This is the inspection notice I prepared for you. It still takes two minutes. If you still refuse to cooperate, I will directly sign the unqualified column."
Instructor Wang's face suddenly turned red: "Xu Cang, the CCAR regulations do not grant you this authority. I have asked the company about the flight standards, and you are conducting an illegal inspection."
“Nonsense, my authority comes from Resolution 21 of the 32nd ICAO Assembly. Unfortunately, CAAC signed this resolution, which means that I can exercise relevant powers within the jurisdiction of CAAC.”
"You're talking nonsense!" Teacher Wang didn't want to admit it at all: "This is all made up."
"Wang Long!" Xu Cang suddenly shouted, his voice as cold as winter: "Are you challenging my patience?"
After that, Xu Cang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Teacher Wang, and went upstairs directly, leaving only one sentence: "If you don't take a seat within the specified time, you will be disqualified. You can decide for yourself."
Looking at Xu Cang disappearing in the stairwell, Teacher Wang anxiously glanced at the door again, but Cheng Qiming from the Hanjing Branch still did not show up. He did not doubt that Xu Cang dared to directly sign the unqualified. As for what Resolution 21 of the 32nd ICAO Assembly was, Teacher Wang actually did not know, but instinctively, he felt that Xu Cang should not have lied to him.
I looked at my watch and it was almost time.
Under such circumstances, Teacher Wang gritted his teeth and had to follow Xu Cang up to the second floor.
Soon, Instructor Wang entered the simulated cabin. Xu Cang was already sitting at the control console, and the captain of Feiyu Airlines also sat obediently on the right seat.
Teacher Wang suppressed his anger and confirmed that his cell phone had a signal and no missed calls before sitting down. As soon as he sat down, he suddenly remembered that Xu Cang was only a co-pilot and might not even know how to operate the simulator.
Being a simulator instructor is not something that anyone can do. It requires special training. For simulator instructors, they generally correspond to Class B instructors, that is, only instructors of Class B and above can be simulator instructors.
A co-pilot probably can't even set up a simulator.
"If he doesn't know how to operate the simulator later, you better stay quiet." Instructor Wang lowered his voice and instructed the captain next to him.
Although the guy on the right is only a solo captain, he probably knows some simple settings. I'm just afraid that Xu Cang will ask the captain of Feiyu Airlines for help.
Instructor Wang's voice was already very low, but it seemed that Xu Cang still heard it. He saw Xu Cang smile and said, "Don't worry, I can operate the simulator. Instructor Wang, you don't have to worry about this."
Teacher Wang was stunned and did not respond. He had originally thought that Xu Cang's unfamiliarity with the simulator could delay the situation for a while, and when Cheng Qiming arrived, there might be a turnaround. But he did not expect that Xu Cang could actually operate the simulator.
This is a bit strange. How can a co-pilot know this?
However, this doubt only lasted for a very short time. Perhaps because he knew he couldn't escape, Teacher Wang was less afraid. He stiffened his neck and said, "Forget it, you go ahead. I want to see what complicated subjects you have."
"No, no, no!" Xu Cang laughed and said, "I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. Let's just do some simple maneuvering subjects, which the second mate can do."
"Hmm?" Instructor Wang was startled. If the second mate could do it, then it would be very simple indeed. "Could it be that I misunderstood him?"
As Xu Cang clicked a few times on the console, the scenery changed quickly, as if the plane was pulled into the air. An airport could be seen in the lower left corner, and it seemed that the plane was on three sides of the airport.
"Just prepare for landing, and don't do anything else." Xu Cang smiled and said, "Just prepare for the landing configuration."
"Just a landing?" Instructor Wang signaled to the captain of Feiyu Airlines next to him and asked him to make preparations. In his heart, he was still wondering what Xu Cang meant.
This doesn't seem right, the second mate can do it... just make a landing... It seems like I am overreacting?
The captain of Feiyu Airlines dared not disobey Instructor Wang, and hurried to prepare the plane. While doing so, he suddenly asked, "Which airport are we landing at?"
Xu Cang smiled: "Yulong."
The captain had just turned the landing altitude knob on the pressurization panel, and was stunned when he heard Xu Cang's words: "Yulong? Which military and civilian airport?"
"Yes, you are on the third side now." Xu Cang smiled happily: "I never thought that the database of the National University Simulator Training Center is so complete, even Yulong Airport is included."
"Yulong, Yulong..." Teacher Wang muttered to himself. He always felt that something was wrong.
Just as he was doubting, Xu Cang suddenly said, "After you are ready, I will introduce the situation to you. The No. 2 engine has shut down, the No. 1 engine is about to shut down, and the plane is about to enter a spiral. Okay, do it."
The captain froze in his tracks. He couldn't believe his ears. He turned his head slowly and asked, "Is this something the second officer can do?"
Xu Cang smiled and said, "Yes, I did it when I was the second mate."
Instructor Wang just felt dizzy. Wasn't this the scene in Yulong when Xu Cang turned out of a three-side spin and landed straight on final?
Is this something a human can do?
Teacher Wang has seen the video. From a technical perspective, this has basically reached the ceiling of what humans can achieve. If he were to recover, what would be the difference between that and hanging him directly?
Seeing that Teacher Wang had not responded, Xu Cang kindly reminded him: "If Teacher Wang feels embarrassed, you don't have to do it."
Teacher Wang, who was dumbfounded just a moment ago, immediately had his eyes brightened: "Really?"
"Really!" Xu Cang smiled, then picked up a pen and planned to sign "unqualified" for him on the inspection notice.
Instructor Wang was stunned when he saw Xu Cang's actions. However, at this moment, a loud shout came from outside the cabin: "Stop!"
