Chapter 357: Xia Shuyue’s fate, the Nordic Aurora air crash!
"Is that so?" In the reception room of Hanjing Guoda Airlines, Xu Cang received a call from Lu Yao, in which Lu Yao told him everything that happened at Asiana Airlines, including, of course, Korean Air's preparations for indirect control of Air Seoul.
This information is crucial because it means someone in the team has leaked the information. If it weren't for Qin Xin's determination to fight to the death, the acquisition of Asiana Airlines would have been in trouble.
Xu Cang's face was a little gloomy: "Have you found out where the information was leaked from?"
"Not yet." Lu Yao's voice was very low: "However, from a subjective motivation point of view, Chen Tianyang should be the most likely one."
Xu Cang hummed: "You don't have to look for him, I will talk to him later."
"In two days, if nothing unexpected happens, Asiana Airlines Chairman Lee Myung-ki will go to Erhai Lake to sign the final acquisition contract. Boss, you need to be present," Lu Yao instructed.
"I have some things to deal with in Hanjing. I will go back after I finish them." Xu Cang said, "Also, you said that the vice president of Korean Air spoke rudely?"
Mentioning this, Lu Yao was still indignant: "At that time, Boss Qin told me not to do it, otherwise he would definitely suffer."
"Lu Yao, you did a good job, but you also have to protect yourself. This kind of violent means will not really make him suffer." Xu Cang said : "Min Heren, right? I've made a note of it. I will get back at him for this."
Xu Cang thought for a moment and said, "Lu Yao, please take the trouble to find out the news about Banqiao District in South Korea. Remember to keep it confidential and don't let others know."
" Banqiao District?" Lu Yao was stunned for a moment: "Is it the Banqiao in the southern part of Gyeonggi Province, Seoul?"
"That's right! It is said that the Seoul metropolitan area will undergo secondary development, and the Pangyo area is also within the scope of the secondary development."
"Boss, are you going to enter the real estate business in Banqiao?" Lu Yao probably understood what Xu Cang meant. The development of the new five towns in Seoul created a lot of wealth myths, and Xu Cang seemed to be very interested in the secondary development of this metropolitan area. However, Lu Yao was not a subordinate without any self-thoughts. Even in front of Xu Cang, he still expressed his thoughts: "Boss, forgive me for being blunt, the scale of Seoul is already very large, and further expansion may not be effective. The miracle of the development of the new five towns in Seoul should have been a bonus of the times, and the profit of secondary development may not be that great."
Lu Yao put it more tactfully. In fact, he felt that it was not a question of how much money one could earn, but the possibility of losing money.
It doesn’t mean that a certain area planned by the government will definitely develop. There are too many cases where it ends up in a hasty manner.
"Lu Yao, to be honest, I don't know much about real estate. But, you know, I'm very lucky. God has blessed me with a good job. I can make money whatever I do. You have your own ideas, which is great, but you should listen to me this time." Xu Cang smiled and said, "If it's not too much trouble, go find Zhang Yuanshuo and ask for his advice."
"Zhang Yuanshuo? The real estate businessman from Jeju Island?"
"Yeah." Xu Cang responded, "You've been working a lot lately. You've been responsible for the Minzhuang air crash, the acquisition of Asiana Airlines, and the development of Banqiao District. However, the company is about to set up a legal department, and you'll be the first leader then."
At present, Spring Airlines does not have a dedicated legal department. It only has Lu Yao as a consultant, who is considered to be a lone commander. With the increase of various affairs, it is definitely not possible to put all the pressure on Lu Yao alone, although Lu Yao himself has no complaints.
Xu Cang believed in clear rewards and punishments. Lu Yao performed well, so he should be promoted. The position of the head of the legal department in the future would be reserved for Lu Yao.
Hearing this, Lu Yao was also very happy. He knew that Xu Cang was a generous person and a rare good boss. As long as he worked hard, he would definitely be rewarded.
"By the way, after the merger with Asiana Airlines, we have too many industries, and Spring Airlines can no longer serve as the main body. I plan to reorganize the company and form the Cangqing Group, in which the legal department will be established together with the group. After that, all our businesses will become the group's business sectors. When I return to Erhai, I will give you the documents of the current businesses."
To be honest, Xu Cang's influence is already huge. In Europe, there is Kingfisher Airlines, in East Asia, there is Spring Airlines, and Asiana Airlines will soon be merged. In addition, there will be a Rolls-Royce engine maintenance factory that will be established soon, which is a gold mine.
These are just the aviation-related businesses, and do not include Liu Jinxin’s pharmaceutical industry, Jeju Island’s tourism industry, and some miscellaneous businesses.
Previously, all business was centered on Spring Airlines. But now it is obviously not working anymore. Kingfisher Airlines and Asiana Airlines alone are much larger than Spring Airlines, so adjustments must be made.
After hearing this, Lu Yao immediately said, "I will take charge of this matter. The acquisition of Asiana Airlines and the development of Banqiao District will not consume too much of my energy, and I will be able to free up my hands soon."
"Well, that's it, I'm hanging up."
As the call was hung up, a slim woman walked into the reception room. She was the receptionist of NUS Airlines.
She walked up to Xu Cang and whispered, "Mr. Xu, the chairman is attending a very important meeting now, which will end in about half an hour. The chairman asked me to tell you that if you are willing to wait, Mr. Xu, we will meet in his office in half an hour."
Xu Cang nodded: "Well, I'm fine, wait a moment."
The receptionist responded softly: "I'll tell the chairman. Mr. Xu, when do you want to go to the chairman's office? You can..."
"No, I know the way. You go ahead and do your work."
The receptionist bowed and said, "Then please make yourself at your convenience, Mr. Xu."
After the receptionist left, Xu Cang looked around the reception room of Guoda Airlines. It must be said that state-owned enterprises are magnificent. The reception room is even larger than the first floor lobby of the Spring and Summer Airlines base building, which is really outrageous.
Even though the land price in the airport area is lower, this is still quite exaggerated.
Xu Cang felt a little hungry and saw a dessert area not far away. Just as he stood up, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a text message from Chen Xiangdong with a number in it.
Xu Cang immediately understood that this was Lian Shanli's mobile phone number that Chen Xiangdong had obtained.
“That’s pretty fast.”
Chen Xiangdong said it would take two days, but he didn't expect it to be done in less than a day. After sending a thank you text message to his master, Xu Cang immediately called the number and waited for a long time, until the phone was about to hang up automatically, and then someone picked up the phone.
However, when the other party spoke, it was clearly the voice of a middle-aged woman: "Hello?"
Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, but did not hang up: "Hello, is this Lian Shanli's cell phone number?"
"Yes, I'm her mother, who are you?"
"Oh, I'm Lian Shanli's... friend." Xu Cang randomly made up an identity: "Excuse me, is Lian Shanli at home now? I want to go over to see her, is it convenient?"
"Xiao Li's friend." The other party's voice softened a little, but soon he sighed: "If nothing else, you should wait a little longer. Xiao Li has a very good friend who passed away. She is not doing well now."
Xu Cang's heart skipped a beat: "The situation is not good, you mean?"
"She hasn't eaten since yesterday and locked herself in her room. No matter what we say, she won't listen. Maybe the death of her friend was too much of a blow to her, alas..."
It was yesterday that the search and rescue team gave their own judgment on the survivors, that is, there would be no survivors on this flight. Until now, Lian Shanli's mother still feels that her daughter is too sad because of the death of her boyfriend. Although she is very worried, she seems to have never thought of the possibility that Lian Shanli would commit suicide for love. But Xu Cang, who knows the future, doesn't think so. Lian Shanli's current mental state is increasingly in line with her future ending.
However, he couldn't interfere in such matters.
It was useless for the biological mother to persuade him. What right could a stranger like me who had only met him once have to say?
To be honest, even though we know the ending of some things, it is not so easy to change the ending.
Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, but where can Xu Cang find the heart medicine? The medicine has already been buried in the waters of Penghu.
"Auntie, Lian Shanli is sentimental. Maybe you need to pay more attention to her to prevent her from doing something stupid."
Lian Shanli's mother really didn't seem to have any related expectations: "Foolish thing, what stupid thing?"
"It's just some extreme actions." Xu Cang knew it was a bit strange to say such things at this time, but he didn't care: "It's better to be careful."
"No... no way?" Lian Shanli's mother's voice sounded a little unhappy: "However, you are also Xiaoli's friend, it is normal to worry about her. However, this kind of thing should only be temporary, he will figure it out."
Xu Cang actually wanted to say something else, but it would be a bit too much to say any more: "Auntie, I'll find time to go see her later."
After saying that, Xu Cang hung up the phone.
Scratching his head, Xu Cang felt that this matter was really tricky, even trickier than any special flight situation. He was not an emotional expert, so how could he persuade Lian Shanli? Moreover, Xu Cang felt that people with Lian Shanli's personality had reached a dead end in their thinking, and they were stubborn and could not change their minds at all.
Therefore, Xu Cang’s previous idea was to simply prevent Lian Shanli from dating, or to find someone else to date.
However, when Xu Cang met Lian Shanli for the first time, Lian Shanli was already in a relationship, so it was too late.
"It's really a headache." Xu Cang had just put down his phone when it suddenly rang again. Xu Cang muttered, "So busy?"
Glancing at the caller ID, it turned out to be Xia Shuyue's number. Xu Cang leaned back and answered the phone: "Shuyue, what's wrong?"
"I just got the flight student's file manual." Xia Shuyue's tone was full of joy.
Xu Cang has been very busy recently, and he didn't expect Xia Shuyue to have a follow-up checkup today: "Have you passed the physical examination?"
"Just passed. Made it in Tianning."
Although they are usually called "cadets", the formal name is actually flight students. To become a flight student, you must first undergo an initial examination and an on-site physical examination, the so-called re-examination.
The content of the initial examination is relatively small, and the pass rate is acceptable. However, the elimination rate of the on-site physical examination is very high. Xu Cang remembers that when he participated in the on-site physical examination for the recruitment of pilots, only two people in a group of 27 passed, and one of them was Xu Cang.
Of course, Xu Cang’s pass rate that time was a bit too low, lower than the usual level, but the situation of one out of ten is still relatively common.
Before that, Xu Cang had a private conversation with Director Li Jie, who informed the Civil Aviation Administration to arrange a physical examination opportunity for Xia Shuyue. In order to pass the examination as soon as possible, Xu Cang learned that there was a routine physical examination in Tianning of the Eastern Bureau recently, and just happened to sign up for Xia Shuyue.
Xia Shuyue had not yet been assigned to a specific airline, so naturally she did not have a regional administration bureau, so there were not so many restrictions on the choice of physical examination area. However, it was a bit exhausting for Xia Shuyue to run back and forth.
As long as he passed the physical examination, he would be given a flight student physical examination file book with a white cover, which would record all of Xia Shuyue's physical examination records during her student period. With the physical examination book, Xia Shuyue could enter the aviation school.
Before this, Xu Cang had already agreed with Zhu Ming that Zhu Ming's wife would teach Xia Shuyue individually.
Zhu Ming’s wife has the qualifications to teach at all stages, and can teach from private lessons to high-performance courses without having to change instructors.
"Then I will talk to Phoenix Aviation School and create a file for you. You will learn to fly at Phoenix Aviation School in the future." Xu Cang thought for a while and said, "When I come back from Hanjing, I will take you to meet your instructor in advance."
At this stage, the relationship between the instructors and students in the aviation school is still a very traditional master-apprentice relationship. It is normal for students to wash clothes, socks, and serve meals for the instructors. The instructors have absolute authority. Of course, because of Xu Cang, Xia Shuyue's instructors in the future will definitely not be like this. However, necessary etiquette is still needed. Xu Cang took Xia Shuyue to have a meal with Zhu Ming and his wife to help Xia Shuyue establish a good impression score.
Xu Cang really showed his infinite patience towards Xia Shuyue. He even thought out the details of how to deal with people for Xia Shuyue.
"I see. When will you return to Erhai Lake?"
"At the earliest, I'll be back tomorrow." Xu Cang said, "When the time comes, I'll organize it and you'll just be responsible for being there."
Xia Shuyue did not refuse: "Okay!"
"Keep the medical examination book safe." Xu Cang reminded him, "Hang up."
Before hanging up the phone, Xia Shuyue suddenly said, "I'll send you a photo later."
After saying that, Xia Shuyue hung up the phone.
"Photo?" Xu Cang was a little surprised, but soon he was notified that there was a color message coming, and the sender was Xia Shuyue. Xu Cang clicked it and saw that it was the cover photo of her medical examination booklet, with black text on a white background, and a photo of Xia Shuyue's ID in the middle.
"This girl is showing off to me." Xu Cang clicked on the photo and took a casual look, then planned to put away his phone. However, suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly picked up the photo, enlarged it, and then enlarged the ID photo that Xia Shuyue pasted in the middle of the physical examination booklet.
In this era, the quality of photos is not very good, but Xu Cang still had some memories evoked by this photo.
In the photo, Xia Shuyue tied her hair into a ponytail, which was rare. Since Xu Cang knew Xia Shuyue, this was the first time he saw Xia Shuyue with a ponytail.
It was very common for girls to tie their hair into a single ponytail, but the way Xia Shuyue's single ponytail looked at him reminded him of something, something that frightened him immensely.
"The Great Northern Lights Air Disaster." Xu Cang muttered to himself, beads of sweat already seeping down his back: "No, no, no, how could this happen?"
Xu Cang stared at the photo, his face extremely pale: "Two years later, Shu Yue is going to... die?"
