Chapter 344 Xu Qing!
Cui Xiangdao's face quickly turned pale. He had never expected that he would be caught red-handed by the inspectors of the Disciplinary Committee for his private meeting with the Aviation Accident Committee. He was caught red-handed and there was no way he could clear himself of the charges.
Seeing Cui Xiangdao didn't move, the inspector of the disciplinary committee snorted coldly, "If you don't get up, do you still need me to invite you?"
After the initial shock, Cui Xiangdao recovered a little. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is it?"
"Who is it?" The inspector laughed, then his expression quickly turned cold: "The president of Korean Air is so arrogant. Is he questioning me now?"
Choi Sang-do's mind was in turmoil. His meeting with Committee Member Kim Jae-hyuk was extremely secretive. If the truth came to light, the most direct and easiest person to think of would be Director Kim Sung of SRAA who acted as the middleman.
"It's Jin..." Cui Xiangdao was furious and wanted to say a name angrily, but he only uttered one word and stopped in time.
Cui Xiangdao's brain is still relatively quick, and he did not lose his mind because of complete anger. In this matter, Director Jin was already taking risks himself, and if he gave him up, it would also be risky for him.
If there really was a problem in some link, and it was not revealed by Director Jin, then if he exposed Director Jin now because of a momentary impulse, it would do him more harm than good.
"Just bear with it for now, just bear with it for now."
The inspector looked at Cui Xiang with interest and asked, "Gold what?"
Cui Xiangdao lowered his head and said no more.
The inspector waited for a while, confirmed that Cui Xiangdao had nothing to say, and urged him with a little disappointment: "If you have nothing to say, then get up."
The muscles in Cui Xiangdao's cheeks tensed up all of a sudden. He glanced at the inspector and finally stood up slowly.
"I want to see your ID to confirm that you are a real member of the Disciplinary Committee." Cui Xiangdao did not follow the inspector immediately, but asked to check the other party's ID.
This is a very normal request, but it is obvious that Choi Sang-do's intention of checking the ID is not just to confirm whether the other party is a member of the Disciplinary Committee.
The inspector looked at Cui Xiangdao's stern face and clicked his tongue: "If you want to see the ID, you can."
He casually took out the ID card hidden in his suit and showed it to Choi Sang-do.
Cui Xiangdao lowered his eyes to the name on the ID and muttered, "Jung Eunmin!"
Zheng Enmin, who had been smiling, couldn't help but frowned: "Is it necessary to read out my name?"
Cui Xiangdao smiled and said, "This way I can remember this name firmly. Zheng Enmin, right? I will remember you."
Zheng Enmin was stunned. At this time, Choi Sang-do still dared to threaten her. It was simply lawless.
"Let's go!" Zheng Enmin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore. She grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the private room.
Choi Sang-do did not resist and left the private room as Zheng Eun-min pulled him.
"Take him to the car."
Outside the private room, there were two of Zheng Enmin's assistants, one on each side, carrying Cui Xiangdao and walking outside.
After Choi Sang-do walked away, Jung Eun-min spat, "What a disgusting guy."
After cursing, Jung Eun-min walked to the private room next door. Inside, Park Seok-won, the president of Asiana Airlines, sat expressionlessly. There was no drink or food on the table, it was empty. As if knowing that Jung Eun-min would come, Park Seok-won turned his eyes and fell on Jung Eun-min who came in: "Did you take him away?"
"He was taken away." Zheng Enmin sat down opposite Park Seok-won and said with a smile: "Thank you for the information provided by President Park. If they catch him on the spot, I think Korean Air and the Hando Group behind it will not interfere too much."
"But, we still have to let him go in the end, don't we?" Park Seok-won looked unhappy and spoke weakly: "Since the matter has been done, we will see each other later... or it would be better to say never again."
As a person working in the aviation industry, it is auspicious not to meet with the Disciplinary Committee if nothing else.
"President Park, what's the urgent matter? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Zheng Enmin even pulled the menu from the table while speaking: "We caught such a big fish this time, I'm afraid we can get a lot of bonus. It's okay to treat President Park to a meal to express our gratitude, but this..."
As Jung Eun-min spoke, he glanced at the menu and felt his heart tighten. The muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched a few times. Then, he closed the menu dejectedly and said, "There's a good barbecue restaurant nearby. If President Park doesn't mind, let's go there."
"No, I'm not hungry." Park Seok-won hesitated for a moment and said, "Supervisor Zheng, I wonder what you will do with the Kim Jae-hyuk Committee?"
Jung Eun-min grinned, "President Park still cares about this?"
"No, I'm just curious. You don't have to tell me if it's inconvenient."
"It's okay. This doesn't need to be kept secret." Zheng Enmin clapped his hands, and a smile reappeared on his face: "Commissioner Jin Zaihe took the initiative to explain that President Cui Xiangdao wanted to meet him privately, so he doesn't have to bear any responsibility for this matter."
"Took the initiative to confess?" Park Seok-won was stunned as if struck by lightning: "That... means... even if I didn't report it, you can still find Choi Sang-do here."
Jung Eun-min laughed out loud: "President Park, although the result may not change, you can take the initiative to report it to us, which is a behavior worth promoting. Don't feel frustrated."
"I..." Park Seok-won opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He felt like a puppet, being led by the nose.
"Of course, if President Park doesn't mind..." Zheng Enmin paused for a moment and said, "Can you tell me where your information came from? President Choi Sang-do's private meeting should be quite secretive."
Park Seok-won's eyes immediately dodged: "We have been rivals with Korean Air for so many years, so naturally we have some special information channels."
“What are those channels?”
Park Seok-won couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Supervisor Zheng, I'm not a criminal, so I don't have to confess everything, right?"
"Haha, sorry, sorry, I'm used to it." Zheng Enmin smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right, you are not a criminal, there is no need to tell me everything."
After saying that, Jung Eun-min stood up and said, "President Park, you really don't want to eat barbecue?"
Park Seok-won waved his hand: "No, thank you for your kindness."
"Oh." Zheng Enmin didn't force it too much: "If you don't want to go, forget it. Maybe President Park can't get used to the food in those barbecue restaurants, so we won't embarrass President Park. But, President Park, are you not worried after reporting it like this? Although we will try our best to protect the privacy of the reporter, there is no wall that is impenetrable. With the ability of Handao Group, maybe they can't find out."
"Worried? Are you worried about Korean Air's retaliation?" Park Seok-won stretched his shoulders and neck. "There is an old saying that too much debt is better than too much debt. I don't mind having one more debt with Korean Air."
"No." Zheng Enmin shook his head. "I'm not talking about Korean Air, I'm talking about Asiana Airlines. Now is the critical moment for Korean Air to acquire Asiana Airlines. What if this incident affects the acquisition? If Asiana Airlines is not acquired by Korean Air, it will only go bankrupt. You are not afraid of outsiders, but aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back by your own family?"
Now that Asiana Airlines is being sold to Korean Air at a low price, it can at least make some money. But if it goes bankrupt, it will basically be left with nothing. There is still an essential difference between the two.
Park Seok-won stopped talking and remained silent.
Zheng Enmin raised his eyebrows, his face showing more interest. He did not ask Park Seok-won again, but put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly out of the private room. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned slightly: "President Park, it seems that your new backer makes you feel very trustworthy."
Park Seok-won was stunned: "What?"
"Just now, a travel company registered in Jeju Island has launched a takeover bid for Asiana Airlines." Zheng Enmin smiled and said, "So, is the owner of that newly registered travel company your new backer?"
"What did you say?" Park Seok-won stood up suddenly. Another company had launched an acquisition attempt on Asiana Airlines, but he, as the president, didn't even know about it.
"Oh? You didn't know?" Zheng Enmin smiled even brighter: "It seems that President Park has been excluded and isolated in Asiana Airlines."
Park Seok-won's face turned pale. This was not a mocking remark from Jung Eun-min, but a real problem. He, as the president, had been sidelined by other senior executives. He did not trust the people of Asiana Airlines, and Asiana Airlines did not trust him either.
Park Seok-won suppressed his inner irritation and said, "Supervisor Zheng, which travel company is the one that proposed to us to acquire it?"
The curve of Zheng Enmin's mouth became more obvious. This kind of thing always feels so interesting: "Cang Qing, its name is Cang Qing."
…
At the same time, in a quiet courtyard in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, Chen Tianyang, who was supposed to be investigating Kuroda Takashi in Japan, appeared here.
This courtyard is different from the modern high-rise buildings in Seoul. It has swaying bamboo shadows, flowing water and a large wooden structure, which makes it look very retro.
In the corridor outside the main house, Chen Tianyang knelt on the floor, leaning forward with his forehead on the floor, and respectfully called out to the main house, which was still closed: "Teacher."
The wooden door of the main house was still tightly closed, and there was no response from inside, as if Chen Tianyang was kneeling in front of nothingness.
Chen Tianyang did not move, and remained in the kneeling position. After five minutes, a faint sigh came from the main room: "Shi Wan, what are you doing here?"
The voice was unusually old, yet also as gentle as jade, and filled with a feeling of comfort like a spring breeze. Based on the sound alone, anyone who heard it could imagine in their mind the image of a gaunt old man with an immortal demeanor .
The response from the main house made Chen Tianyang very excited. He raised his head slightly and looked at the still closed wooden door: "Teacher, I found evidence that Handao Group has a monopoly in the logistics industry. If you are willing to help, I will hand over the evidence to the Anti-Monopoly Department of the Supreme Procuratorate."
However, after Chen Tianyang said this, the main house fell into a long silence again, so that people felt that the sound just made was just an illusion.
After a long time, the old man's voice finally rang out from the main house: "Shi Wan, did your boss agree to do this?"
Chen Tianyang was stunned. Xu Cang's figure suddenly appeared in his mind, but he still gritted his teeth: "Anyway, the evidence is in my hands now."
"Shi Wan, you haven't found any evidence against Handao Group for so many years. Now, you have suddenly realized everything. Is there someone behind you who is guiding you?" The old man's voice was still unhurried. "He asked you to investigate, but he didn't announce the results. He must have a plan. If you report the evidence without authorization, it will disrupt his plan."
"I don't care!" Chen Tianyang growled, "Teacher, Handao Group is in an absolute advantage in both sea and land transportation. If it is also the case in the aviation field, then it must have touched the red line of monopoly. Now the evidence is conclusive. As long as you are willing to help and don't let external forces interfere with the people in the Supreme Procuratorate, Handao Group will definitely be sanctioned this time."
However, the old man responded with the same calm voice: "Shi Wan, of course I will protect you, what is the condition, have you forgotten?"
Chen Tianyang, who was kneeling, trembled and clenched his teeth even tighter. He lowered his head silently: "You told me not to care about the affairs of Handao Group anymore."
"That's right!" The old man's voice sounded, "Let's not talk about the Handao Group. Even the master who instructed you, will he let you go after you acted on your own? He can give you hope, but he can also make you fall into despair. He has caught the handle of the Handao Group, but he has been holding back. Maybe he has other considerations. For example, he is concerned about some underlying rules, and he is not willing to break this window paper unless it is absolutely necessary."
I can only say that An Daoru's level is really quite high, but by combining some fragmented content, I can roughly guess Xu Cang's thoughts.
Monopoly is not uncommon in South Korea. Everyone knows it, but they all keep a tacit understanding and remain silent. However, if someone breaks this window paper first and breaks the balance, it will be easy to become the target of public criticism and become a target of public criticism in the Korean business community. This is obviously not what Xu Cang wants to see. After all, he has a longer-term layout in South Korea and is not willing to be surrounded by hostile eyes before he has done anything.
"I don't care, teacher, I don't care." Chen Tianyang didn't care: "My life is already like this, what else can I worry about? Yes, I'm sorry for him. Even if he wants my life afterwards, he can take it. I just want to bring down the Handao Group ."
As Chen Tianyang's voice fell, the wooden door that had been tightly closed made a creaking sound and was slowly pushed open, and soon the figure of an old man was revealed.
He was wearing a white traditional Korean dress, with his snow-white hair tied up and held back with a forehead protector. His face was covered with traces of time, like an oil lamp with only a grain of rice flame, which would run out of oil at any time.
"Old...teacher." Chen Tianyang stared blankly at the already very old An Daoru, and a sense of guilt inexplicably welled up in his heart.
Too old!
Thinking back to the last time he saw his teacher An Daoru, although An Daoru was old, he was still in good spirits. But today, the aura of old age that was blowing over him could no longer be concealed.
An Daoru's time is coming!
An Daoru lowered his head and looked at the student he was most satisfied with, his back slightly hunched: "Shi Wan, I am old and hopeless, but you are still young, don't say stupid things like you don't care."
Chen Tianyang clenched his hands into fists, lowered his head, and dared not look directly at An Daoru. He knew that his teacher An Daoru had aged so quickly and it was definitely related to him.
An Daoru is a leader in the Korean legal community. Even though he has been incorruptible all his life, his status means that he can enjoy excellent medical treatment. However, even with such care, An Daoru is still aging at such an alarming rate. This is not due to any external factors, but due to An Daoru's long-term worries.
An Daoru had no children, so he trained Chen Tianyang as his successor. But in the end, everything was just a fantasy, and even An Daoru was hit hard.
The once favored son of heaven Cheng Shiwan has become the down-and-out Chen Tianyang. This is what An Daoru saw in his later years.
When the heart is dead, the marks left by time on the body will become more profound!
An Daoru, that's it!
"Teacher, Cheng Shiwan is dead. I can't go back." Tears glistened in Chen Tianyang's eyes and fell down.
"Fool." An Daoru's back seemed to be hunched a little more at this moment: "Do you think that as long as I speak, the Supreme Procuratorate will not be affected by the outside world? Have you ever thought about the court?"
Chen Tianyang was startled: "Teacher, what do you mean?"
"It's useless." An Daoru shook his head: "The chief legal advisor of Handao Group is the former Attorney General. Even if the Supreme Procuratorate accepts the case, you will not win in the court anyway."
"Take office as Attorney General." Chen Tianyang looked ashen: "Former...former official courtesy."
…
Yanshan City, Phoenix Aviation School training base.
After returning to Erhai Lake, Xu Cang suddenly had the idea of visiting Phoenix Aviation School, just in time to meet his senior brother Zhu Ming and ask him about some things he had asked him to do recently, and also to take a look at Xu Mingjian's training situation.
The training base of the Phoenix Aviation School's branch, Yanshan, is in Nanming Province, so there is no need to leave the province. Moreover, Yanshan Airport is the only non-complex airport in the province, and the surrounding terrain is relatively flat compared to other airports in the province, so it was naturally chosen as the training base of the aviation school.
Although there are no flights from Erhai Lake to Yanshan, the two places are not far apart, and it doesn't take long to travel by land, so it's not a big deal.
However, Xu Cang didn't like driving, so he asked Qin Xin to be his driver and drove for more than an hour until he arrived at the aviation school airport.
When he came here, Xu Cang had already called his senior brother Zhu Ming in advance. As soon as he arrived outside the airport, Zhu Ming came out to greet him.
With Captain Zhu Ming leading the way, the car naturally had no obstructions. They drove all the way to the internal parking lot of the aviation school, and the three of them got out of the car. Qin Xin had been driving for a long time and was a little tired, so she went to find a place to rest, while Xu Cang and Zhu Ming chatted while walking.
Yanshan Airport is very small, even smaller than Erhai Airport, and the runway is also very short, only 2,200 meters, and there is not even a main taxiway. In the middle of the runway there is a short right-angle runway directly connected to the apron.
The apron was also very small, with two sheds in the corners, and four planes parked underneath, three single-engine and one twin-engine. Xu Cang looked around and could tell the models of these single-engine planes, but he couldn't quite recognize the only twin-engine one.
"Can you all fly DA20 at the branch school?" Xu Cang said with a smile.
Among the three single-engine aircraft, two are DA20 and the other is Cessna 152. Compared with the Cessna 152, which has a very long history, the DA20 produced by the Austrian Diamond Aircraft Manufacturing Company is much younger and was only put into operation in 1994.
The DA20 is slender and looks more handsome than the sturdy Cessna. However, because it looks like a tadpole, it is sometimes given some unpleasant nicknames.
"Not many, maybe seven or eight in total." Zhu Mingdao.
"I don't see any high-performance aircraft." Xu Cang asked, "What kind of aircraft do you use for high-performance courses, King?"
Zhu Ming waved his hand and said, "Yes, King Air. Isn't this the most common one? This is the branch school. When it comes to the final high-performance subjects, the students will be sent to the headquarters."
A complete flight school study includes private pilot license, instrument rating, commercial pilot license and the final high performance course.
"By the way, you told me before that you wanted to take the 141 instructor license exam, and I signed you up."
"Sign up." Xu Cang said, "When is the exam? It will be a theory test, right? Give me some study materials."
"Of course you have to take the exam. But you still have to study. I thought you were going to take the exam without preparation."
Xu Cang rolled his eyes: "I have almost forgotten the theory of private business ceremony, but I still need to read it. Don't hang up, it's embarrassing."
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, I'll help you find it." Zhu Ming smiled and said, "By the way, why did you come all the way here? If you want to ask the instructor about the exam, just give him a call. There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Xu Cang found a bench and sat down. His eyes fell on a small plane that was taxiing slowly on the apron. He pursed his lips and said, "What happened to the person I asked you to help me with before?"
"Xu Mingjian, right?" When Zhu Ming mentioned this person, he felt like ants crawling all over his body: "Xu Cang, as the senior brother, I am really loyal this time. I am the captain of the team, and I usually don't come to the branch school. Just because I promised you, I am now almost stationed here."
Xu Cang smiled and said, "It must be so hard. You look thinner now."
"Have you lost weight?" Zhu Ming touched his face and patted his belly: "How about your belly? Has it gotten smaller?"
"If you drink less, it should go away." Xu Cang chuckled and said, "Tell me, what's going on with him?"
"What's going on?" Zhu Ming snorted, "I've never seen such a stupid person in my life."
At this point, Zhu Ming probably felt that he had said too much, and immediately changed his words: "Actually, he's not stupid, he's just not suitable for flying, and he might be better off doing other things. Xu Cang, based on his performance so far, if it were my temper, I would have retired him a long time ago, but now I'm giving him a chance because I promised you. But, has he blocked a bullet for you before? Is it necessary to worship him like this?"
Zhu Ming scratched his head and said, "His surname is also Xu. Is he a relative of yours?"
"It shouldn't be." It's hard to say for sure about this kind of thing. After all, Xu Mingjian's hometown is quite close to Xu Cang's hometown. If you trace back several generations, it's possible that they are really related by blood.
"Shouldn't it be?" Zhu Ming was stunned: "What are you talking about?"
"That means nothing." Xu Cang waved his hand: "What exactly is his problem?"
"What's the problem?" Zhu Ming was about to ask, but suddenly he saw a figure in the distance from the corner of his eye and pouted his lips towards him: "Go ask him yourself."
Xu Cang was startled and looked in the direction Zhu Ming indicated. He saw a man standing by the outer wall of a building in the distance and talking on the phone. It looked like Xu Mingjian.
"Okay, I'll be back soon, wait for me."
After saying that, Xu Cang stood up and walked towards Xu Mingjian.
As he got closer, Xu Cang could hear Xu Mingjian's excited and surprised voice. However, Xu Mingjian spoke in dialect, and Xu Cang could not fully understand it.
When Xu Cang got closer, he waited for Xu Mingjian to make a call. Just as he was about to call someone, Xu Mingjian, who had just hung up the phone, turned around and suddenly saw someone standing behind him. Xu Mingjian was shocked. When he saw who it was, Xu Mingjian breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Xu, why are you here?"
"I have something to talk to your captain about. I just happened to see you, so I came over to talk to you." Xu Cang pointed at the phone Xu Mingjian was holding: "I don't quite understand what you said, but it seems to be some happy event."
"It's not a happy event." Xu Mingjian smiled and put his phone back in his pocket: "My wife called me just now and said that she had just done an ultrasound and confirmed that it's a boy."
In this era, B-ultrasound was still a rarity. And its performance was far inferior to that of later generations. Before, because the baby was still young, it was not too sure. Now that the baby is full-term, B-ultrasound can be more certain.
Xu Cang was not surprised by this, he just smiled and said: "It seems that you like your son very much."
"Almost. It's just that now that I have a son, my parents won't bother me anymore." Xu Mingjian might think this kind of thing is boring: "I... talk too much. I'm sorry to make Mr. Xu laugh at my family affairs."
"I'm not kidding." Xu Cang waved his hand: "Does your son have a name he likes?"
When talking about this, Xu Mingjian's eyes lit up: "I asked someone to tell my child's fortune. The fortune teller said that he lacks water in the five elements, so his name must contain a water character, such as Miao, Bo, Tao, etc. But my wife doesn't like these characters, saying that these characters are too vulgar."
Xu Cang smiled and said, "What does she think?"
"It's not a good name, just an ordinary one." Xu Mingjian said: "Xu Qing, my wife said that when the child is born, he will be named Xu Qing."
