Chapter 64 Boeing Test Pilot
Just as Lu Jinghua said, half an hour later he drove to the gate of Qinghua Community, and Xu Cang calculated the time and met Lu Jinghua just in time.
Lu Jinghua found a place to park the car, and met Xu Cang when he got out of the car. However, he took a look inside the community and immediately showed a look of disdain: "Why do you live here? It would be better to rent a house?"
The urban village of Qinghua Community not only had a worrying sanitary environment, but also had a poor public security situation. Moreover, the people were mixed, and if someone saw that Xu Cang was a pilot and had bad intentions, it would be dangerous.
"I've been busy these past two months. I'll move when I'm done." Xu Cang didn't elaborate, but asked, "Is there something urgent?"
Lu Jinghua looked around and pointed to a dry pot restaurant across the street: "How about inviting the leader to dinner? That's the one. I want to eat dry pot shrimp."
Xu Cang wanted to say, "I've already eaten, so you can eat whatever you want." But Xu Cang's wallet wasn't so full right now, so he had to be frugal.
Seeing Xu Cang's hesitation, Lu Jinghua shamelessly pulled Xu Cang across the road: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss."
Faced with such a shameless leader, Xu Cang had no choice but to secretly touch his wallet, where he found two hundred-dollar bills, which should be enough for two people to eat.
Facing the reality, Xu Cang ordered a plate of dry pot shrimp according to Lu Jinghua's preferences, and added some side dishes. It can only be said that Lu Jinghua still has a conscience, choosing this kind of homely husband-and-wife restaurant, the consumption is indeed not high.
While waiting for the food, Xu Cang scalded Lu Jinghua's cup and bowl, and teased: "Boss Lu, could it be that you had a quarrel with your sister-in-law and got kicked out, so you came to me for a free meal?"
Ever since Lu Jinghua went to the Jianchuan Regulatory Bureau to rescue Xu Cang, the two of them had their say. Although they were not close friends, at least the atmosphere between them was harmonious.
Lu Jinghua rolled his eyes and said, "If I want to eat for free, there are plenty of people who want to eat for free. Why would I come here to eat dry pot? Also, don't call me Mr. Lu. It sounds awkward. You can call me brother."
Xu Cang is quite good at taking advantage of others. He doesn't like to please his superiors, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to have a good relationship with them. Since Lu Jinghua has taken the initiative to show goodwill, that couldn't be better.
After heating the cups and bowls, Xu Cang poured a cup of tea for Lu Jinghua: "So what on earth is it that made you, Brother Lu, condescend to come and eat dry pot?"
"What else ?" Lu Jinghua took out a plastic bag from her handbag and pushed it to Xu Cang: "Take a look, the latest Samsung phone should be better than your old phone."
"For me?" Xu Cang looked into the plastic bag in confusion, and found that it was indeed a Samsung mobile phone box.
"What else? Let me go there myself." Lu Jinghua said this, scratching his face with his fingers, looking a little ashamed: "I insisted on letting you go to Lushui Airport this time. Although the original plan was to give you a commendation, I'm afraid the commendation is gone after the security check. I was not thoughtful about this matter, and I apologize to you."
When Xu Cang heard this, he almost jumped up from his chair: "No, no, no, why are you apologizing to me? No one could have expected a road collapse."
"Oh, don't make such a big noise, others will think we are crazy." Lu Jinghua half covered his face and hurriedly asked Xu Cang to be quiet: "I apologize, you just need to continue, there is no need to beat around the bush. Also, is the phone still OK? If you don't like it, you can change it."
"Brother, my phone is still working fine. I don't need to change it."
Lu Jinghua snorted, "I heard from Teacher Mo that your phone was soaked in water. Can it still hold up? When we were talking just now, two out of three sentences were unclear. What nonsense are you talking about? It's already strange that I bought a phone for a man. If I can't give it back, where will I put my face?"
It has come to this point, so Xu Cang can no longer refuse. It can be seen that Lu Jinghua is a pure straight man, and buying gifts for the same sex seems to be a huge burden.
The dry pot was not served yet, but the peanuts were served first. Lu Jinghua was still enjoying the meal and asked casually, "Why are you working so hard? You walked on the wild road for most of the night, aren't you afraid?"
Xu Cang also ate peanuts while talking: "Because I have a goal now."
"It's good to have a goal!" Lu Jinghua took a sip of the wine, and his face turned slightly red. It seemed that he had a mediocre alcohol tolerance, but Lu Jinghua was in high spirits at this time: "Don't be like me. I don't know what to do now."
The atmosphere was so tense that Xu Cang didn't hesitate to speak: "Don't you want to go up?"
Lu Jinghua smiled and said, "I do want to, but I don't have that much motivation."
Xu Cang agreed. The principle of leadership is not to do more, but to make fewer mistakes. How could a leader bet his own future with Feiyu did?
"To be honest, life is really boring now." Lu Jinghua took another sip of wine, which made him cough: "I also had a goal..."
Xu Cang showed a hint of interest: "What?"
Lu Jinghua, with a red face, chuckled: "Be a test pilot at Boeing! The stable civil aviation is really boring, and I don't really like military aircraft, so being a test pilot at Boeing is the best. A few years ago, I applied for the test pilot position the moment I got my airline license."
"Then what?" Xu Cang felt ridiculous after asking this question. If it was over, Lu Jinghua would not be here.
“Hahaha!” Lu Jinghua suddenly laughed, with a hint of bitterness in his smile: “I didn’t even make it through the first round. If I had entered the recruitment process, Boeing would have called me. I haven’t received that call yet.”
Xu Cang consoled him: "Maybe Boeing doesn't hire foreigners?"
"Maybe?" I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol, but Lu Jinghua's mood fluctuated greatly. Thinking of the sad things in the past, he became depressed. "But this reason seems more like a lie to comfort myself. Maybe people don't appreciate my mediocre skills."
At the end of the story, Lu Jinghua suddenly grinned: "But I heard that Boeing headquarters will send people to promote the 777 and inspect the Boeing pilots of various airlines. It is very likely that they will recruit test pilots from them. I must give it another try this time!"
Lu Jinghua obviously had no intention of turning back until he hit the wall. Xu Cang couldn't say anything about this situation. He couldn't say that Boeing would decline rapidly in a decade or so. There was no future for him to work at Boeing.
But no one would believe this . Boeing is still in its heyday, so how can it show any signs of decline?
Lu Jinghua wiped his face, stared at Xu Cang opposite him, and said with a click of the tongue: "Xu Cang, have you ever thought about going to Boeing headquarters?"
