Chapter 81: Favored by the Three Major Airlines
In the private room of the Julong Hotel, most people had left, leaving only Li Rongcheng and Ma Cheng.
In the empty private room, Li Rongcheng pulled up a chair and sat down, still playing with his mobile phone in his hand, or to be more precise, playing with the stopwatch on his mobile phone.
Almost an hour has passed since Xu Cang left. Li Rongcheng has been trying to press an integer number of seconds, but countless attempts have yielded no results.
"Hehehe." A low, hoarse laugh suddenly came out of Li Rongcheng's throat. It sounded a bit like the tone of a night owl in a lonely grave, which was really creepy.
Throwing his cell phone onto the round table next to him, Li Rongcheng sighed deeply. This person is really different.
Beside him, Ma Cheng had been on the phone, and the content was nothing but talking about Xu Cang's affairs.
"Have you checked everyone?"
"We have checked on Mr. Ma." The subordinate said, "Xu Cang, a graduate of the Civil Aviation Flight Academy in 1998, is now a pilot in the Boeing fleet of Blue Sky Airlines..."
Ma Cheng felt something was wrong when he heard the graduation year, because a sensational incident occurred at the Civil Aviation Flight Academy in 1998: "Graduate of 1998? Then he..."
"That's right! He is the first student in the history of the Civil Aviation Flight Academy to graduate with full marks." Soon, his subordinates confirmed Ma Cheng's guess.
"Is it him?" Hearing this, Ma Cheng felt slightly relieved. If it was the person who created the history of the Civil Aviation Flight Academy, then everything didn't seem so incredible.
"There is another thing." The subordinate continued, "Not long ago, Feiyu Airlines encountered two bird strikes in succession after taking off from Jianchuan Airport, causing both engines to shut down. It is said that the plane was not brought down by the crew on duty, but by another pilot on the plane. Xu Cang was on the plane at the time."
Ma Cheng's hand holding the phone trembled: "Are you sure?"
"I can't be sure." The subordinate said with some regret: "The bureau's investigation into this matter has not yet been completed. Many details have not been made public and cannot be found."
"Of course you won't find anything if you check directly with the bureau. You should know who was the captain on duty at Feiyu at the time, right?"
The subordinate paused and said, "It's a captain named Guan Shan. Mr. Ma, what do you want to do?"
"Is there any more effective way than asking the person involved?" Ma Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Tell my family that I will not be returning to Yangcheng for the time being. I have some things to do in Jianchuan."
The subordinates did not expect that Ma Cheng would change the schedule directly: "Boss Ma, what about the next schedule?"
However, Ma Cheng didn't care about that and hung up the phone directly.
After hanging up the phone, he saw Li Rongcheng sitting in a chair with a changing expression, and walked over to him: "Mr. Li, I need your help with something."
Li Rongcheng was still thinking about Xu Cang, and only reacted when Ma Cheng walked up to him and spoke: "Well, what's the matter?"
"If you want to recruit Xu Cang as a candidate, could you please wait a moment?"
Now, Li Rongcheng became interested and asked with a half-smile, "What is Mr. Ma's plan?"
Ma Cheng narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "It's a waste of talent for such a genius to stay in a small company like Blue Sky Airlines. If Mr. Li wants to recruit him , then he can wait a little longer until Xu Cang is incorporated into our company, and then Mr. Li can recruit him. The first foreign CTO in Boeing's history, this honor must belong to Muhua Airlines."
Ma Cheng's words shocked Li Rongcheng. After a moment, Li Rongcheng clapped his hands and chuckled, "I thought Muhua Airlines, one of the three major airlines, would not be so dignified as to poach employees from a small company."
Ma Cheng snorted, his face not red, and he didn't breathe a breath, not caring at all: "This is called a wise bird choosing a tree to roost in. Even if he stays in Blue Sky Airlines and becomes a flower, so what? But if he stays in our Muhua Airlines, everything will be very promising."
Li Rongcheng seemed to have a very good personal relationship with Ma Cheng, and they could talk about such things without any hindrance, so he continued to ask: "For example?"
Ma Cheng's eyes sparkled: "For example, after he returns from Boeing headquarters, we will push him up..."
Li Rongcheng was stunned: "Where to push?"
"Where else could it be?" Ma Cheng's smile contained a hint of cunning: "Of course it's the Civil Aviation Administration of China that makes the decision."
…
After leaving the hotel, Lu Jinghua was obviously still immersed in joy. After getting in the car, he took out the business card given by Li Rongcheng and looked at it again and again, as if this piece of paper was the most precious treasure in the world.
Xu Cang was sitting in the passenger seat, watching Lu Jinghua wanting to hold up the business card. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Lu, this thing is made of paper, not gold..."
"Of course I know it's made of paper, don't be sarcastic." Lu Jinghua could hear the teasing in Xu Cang's words, but he was not annoyed. He realized that Xu Cang was not interested in Boeing at all. He fastened his seat belt, started the car, and asked, "Where are you going, back to the company, home?"
Xu Cang rubbed his eyes: "Forget it, let's go home, I'm tired!"
"You still feel tired?" This time, Lu Jinghua was teasing Xu Cang. However, Xu Cang had worked all night last night and had no time to rest. He was also dragged to the dinner party by himself. He must have been tired.
At this time, Xu Cang's eyelids were trembling. He really couldn't hold on any longer. He just wanted to have a good sleep and sleep until tomorrow morning.
Xu Cang was also fastening his seat belt and said casually, "Let's go. I want to sleep on the bed, not in the car..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Cang's cell phone rang. Xu Cang took it out and saw that the note was a call from the dispatcher.
Lu Jinghua also saw it and muttered, "Dispatcher, did you catch the flying one? Give it to me!"
There was no way Xu Cang could fly in his current state, but it was not easy to refuse directly when the dispatcher caught the second mate, so he asked him to block it for Xu Cang.
"No, what if it's tomorrow? I can fly tomorrow's shift. Don't make trouble for now, I'll listen to what the dispatcher says." Xu Cang pushed away Lu Jinghua's outstretched hand and answered the phone: "Hello, I'm Xu Cang."
Almost without a pause, the dispatcher's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xu Cang, are you free tomorrow? There is a flight here but no one is flying."
"Tomorrow?" Xu Cang's eyes lit up when he heard it was really tomorrow. He was indeed short of time, but he had just pulled an all-nighter and definitely couldn't fly today, but if it was tomorrow, that would be perfect.
At this point, how could Xu Cang refuse? "Okay, okay, no problem. Just give me the plan. Where are you flying to?"
"Fly to Urumqi, take off at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow and return to Jianchuan at 9:00 p.m." said the dispatcher.
Urumqi is located in the northwest of China, and if Jianchuan, located in the southwest, wants to go to Urumqi, it must first go north and then west to fly to Urumqi, which takes a long detour. The round-trip flight alone takes more than seven and a half hours, which is a real hard dish.
For Xu Cang, who is in urgent need of time, this class is absolutely perfect.
Hearing this news, Xu Cang's sleepiness disappeared: "Okay, okay, thank you so much. Give me the plan, and do it quickly."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Cang was just like Lu Jinghua just now, with an unstoppable smile on his face.
"What kind of class is this? My mouth is almost grinning from ear to ear."
Xu Cang stuffed his phone into his pocket and said, "Catch me flying to Urumqi tomorrow, and I can actually get such a big bargain for free. I'm so lucky."
"Is it really that important that you are so happy just because I flew to Wushi?" As the head of the flight department, Lu Jinghua would be more or less taken care of in the scheduling. In Lu Jinghua's eyes, the Wushi flight was indeed just average.
"Let's go, let's go back to sleep." Xu Cang was in a good mood: "Hurry back to sleep, we have a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Starting from the incident in 1566, Xu Cang finally encountered some good things.
…
At this moment, in the office of the Vice President of Maintenance of Blue Sky Aviation.
After accompanying Chen Xiangdong for a routine inspection, Yu Fengtian, vice president of maintenance, patted his back and complained, "This bureau representative looks quite old, but how come he is so energetic? My legs are numb from walking so much."
When the secretary saw Yu Fengtian coming back, he first closed the office door, and then waited for Yu Fengtian to sit down before starting to massage his back and shoulders.
"Mr. Yu, are the representatives from the bureau satisfied after taking a look around?" the secretary asked casually.
This secretary is a useless figurehead in her professional field, but she is very smart when it comes to her own interests! A safety inspection by the authorities some time ago caused a large reduction in the number of flights of Blue Sky Airlines, and the company's performance also declined, and many of her invisible benefits as a secretary were affected.
If the results of this inspection are better and the flight volume can be restored, it will be in line with our core interests.
Yu Fengtian was lying on the chair, enjoying the warmth and tenderness of his secretary. When he talked about the representative of the bureau, he got a little angry: "This time, the representative of the bureau was really stubborn. When I accompanied him for the inspection, I was observing his expression. As a result, this guy's expression did not change for two or three hours. People who didn't know him would think he was wearing a mask."
For this kind of communication between top management, it is the most basic to read people's expressions. But Chen Xiangdong had only one expression from beginning to end, without any flaws.
The secretary understood: "It sounds like the bureau representative is difficult to deal with this time. Is there a dinner party tonight?"
"No, don't even mention it." Yu Fengtian felt a headache when he thought of the constipated expression of Tan Wenbin, the deputy general manager of the flight department who was in charge of the reception. "The representative of the bureau this time is the president of the flight academy. He... uh... hates banquets the most. If we dare to do these things, we will be in big trouble."
The secretary chuckled and said, "Some people may appear to be honest, but you never know what they are like in their hearts."
"No!" Yu Fengtian shook his head. "This guy has been the dean of the Civil Aviation Flight Academy for nearly 20 years, and there is not a single negative news about him. Although I don't believe in the existence of such a person, it is better not to take risks. The above also means that we should cooperate with the inspection of the bureau normally, and other small actions will not be considered for the time being."
At this point, the secretary knew that the matter had been settled and there was no room for her to comment, so she wisely stopped talking about Chen Xiangdong.
Seeing the secretary shut up, Yu Fengtian was very satisfied. This secretary was good at guessing his thoughts, and he knew exactly what to say and what not to say.
Suddenly, the secretary thought of something and gently patted Yu Fengtian on the shoulder: "Mr. Yu, a flight came to see you this morning so that I can hand over a document to you."
"The flying one?" Yu Fengtian was actually a little confused about the situation: "Why did the flying one come to me? Why not go to Luo Yong?"
The secretary recalled: "It was about the 1566 flight."
As the secretary spoke, he took the document entrusted by Xu Cang from the coffee table and handed it to Yu Fengtian.
"1566?" Yu Fengtian was stunned. He took the document and opened it. There were a few thin pages of paper inside.
Yu Fengtian quickly glanced at him, the doubt on his face gradually turned into gloom, and he sneered: "Luo Yong really can't manage his subordinates. He actually came to teach me how to do things?"
Especially when he saw at the end that Xu Cang was willing to deduct a proportional amount from his own salary to make up for the maintenance costs incurred by the early D inspection, Yu Fengtian became completely furious and threw Xu Cang's documents directly into the trash can.
"What's wrong?" The secretary didn't expect that reading a document would make Yu Fengtian angry.
"He's just a clown with an overly strong sense of self-awareness." Yu Fengtian sneered, "Send an email to the flight department and ask them to manage their subordinates well. No cross-departmental reporting is allowed in the future."
After that, Yu Fengtian slowly stood up and said to his secretary, "There's nothing else to do today, you can leave work early."
"Mr. Yu, what about you?"
Yu Fengtian glanced at the documents in the trash can and said, "I'll go find Luo Yong!"
…
At this moment, a routine training is being carried out in the cabin of a 737NG simulator in the Jianchuan Aviation Safety Simulator Training Center.
Sitting in the right seat of the simulator was none other than Blue Sky Airlines Chief Pilot Wang Xuan. At this moment, the upper and lower DUs showed that both engines had been shut down and the plane was about to land. Wang Xuan suddenly shouted, "Now, flap deflection."
The instructor who had been waiting did not dare to delay even a bit and immediately adjusted the double flaps to an asymmetric state on the central console.
Originally, under the influence of the strong crosswind, the nose of the aircraft showed an obvious rightward deviation, but as the flaps deflected, the aircraft's large wing began to roll strangely to the left.
This was clearly the condition of Feiyu 6321 before it touched the ground. Wang Xuan wanted to simulate the condition of Feiyu 6321 before it landed and try to correct it.
Just before touching down, Wang Xuan, who was already prepared, suddenly pressed the rudder to the left and the steering wheel to the right. The action seemed to be extremely fast. However, after touching down, the plane did not land on the center line of the runway, but was already close to the right side line of the runway.
He pressed the right plate too much!
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" After Wang Xuan realized that he had failed once, he let go and then pounded the steering wheel frantically, venting his anger hysterically.
Wang Xuan's furious roar and the loud noise of hitting the steering wheel echoed in the closed simulation cabin, so much so that the staff in the simulator center duty room outside could vaguely hear some noises.
The left-seat captain and the flying instructor behind him did not dare to say anything in this situation. Even if Wang Xuan continued to hit it like this, the simulator might be damaged, and the company would have to pay a lot of compensation.
But they still didn't dare to stop him, because they knew that Wang Xuan was in a rage at the moment. Who would dare to offend him?
Originally, today was Wang Xuan's refresher training time. Of course, for the company's chief engineer, refresher training was just a formality, so Wang Xuan directly changed the training content.
From the beginning of Wang Xuan's training, for a full two hours, Wang Xuan had been trying this landing sixteen times. He tried it a full sixteen times, but he never achieved a result that made him feel satisfied, not even close.
Did God give him only one chance? No!
Did God let him bear the fear between life and death? No!
Did God arrange such a terrible disaster when he debuted in flight? No!
Wang Xuan was at the peak of his career. Without any pressure of death and with countless chances to start over, he still failed to do what Xu Cang did.
This is the gap between him and Xu Cang, a gap that makes people feel despair!
