Chapter 88

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying CZ304, a SkyTeam member, China Southern Airlines, from London to Guangzhou."

"I am the co-pilot of this flight, sorry to disturb your sweet dreams."

"Our flight is about to start descending."

"Please take a short rest, get back to your seat as soon as possible, and fasten your seat belt."

"Thank you for your understanding, cooperation and support of our work along the way."

"Actually, every flight is the same for me."

"The same plan, the same route, the same procedure, and sometimes even the reason for the delay is the same."

"The only difference is because of everyone."

"You guys make my flight so colorful."

"I am very happy to be able to share with you, the whisper of the wind and the whisper of the cloud."

"In the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, feel the embrace of the sky."

"The direction of the dream."

"The direction of the heart."

"Dear fellow citizens, welcome home."

……

As the captain's announcement sounded.

The half-awake passengers on the plane began to feel a little commotion.

The three girls in the first row of economy class were particularly excited.

Long-haired girl: "Wow! After flying so many times, this is the first time I heard the captain's announcement that made me cry."

Short-haired girl: "Isn't this too gentle? It gave me goosebumps."

The wavy girl said to the short-haired girl: "It is indeed gentler than you!"

Waves asked the long-haired girl again: "Do you have a feeling that your ears are pregnant?"

Long-haired girl: "Yes! This captain's voice is really nice."

The short-haired girl was puzzled: "That's not right, I just said the co-pilot at the beginning."

The wavy girl looked at the long-haired girl, smiled and teased the short-haired girl: "Why is this guy listening so carefully?"

The long-haired girl chimed in: "Because it sounds so good, I fell in love in one second, became pregnant in two seconds, and started dreaming in the third second."

The short-haired girl continued to wonder: "When did the co-pilot broadcast the plane? Have you heard it before?"

Wave girl: "No! There may not be a captain's announcement. It's often not the pre-recorded one, or the flight attendant is reading the manuscript."

The long-haired girl sighed: "I want to see what the captain looks like."

The short-haired girl rolled her eyes at the long-haired girl Xiaoxiao: "Don't expect too much, the one with the nicest voice is either the fat man or the uncle."

The wavy girl answered: "Pilots aren't fat... the captain is handsome too!"

The short-haired girl couldn't stand it: "Do you want to be so nympho?"

Wave girl: "What do you mean I'm a nympho, listen to the captain's announcement, how many people are recording with their mobile phones."

The long-haired girl looked back: "Really! In the past, China Southern Airlines' in-flight announcements, even if the voice was passable, they could only speak fluent English. This co-pilot must be a foreigner, right?"

Short-haired girl: "Impossible, you listened to what he just said in Chinese."

Wave girl: "I really want the co-pilot's phone~~"

The long-haired girl said to the short-haired girl: "Record this for her, and show it to her boyfriend when I get off the plane."

Girl with short hair: "I heard that her boyfriend has prepared 999 roses to pick her up at the airport."

Wave girl: "If that's the case, just break up. Whoever loves to hug whoever loves 999 flowers, I can't hug them."

Long-haired girl: "Take back the corners of your upturned mouth. Xiu En loves you so fast."

Girl with short hair: "Am I the only one who finds the last two sentences weird?"

Wave girl: "Where is it strange?"

Girl with short hair: "The Chinese broadcast has the direction of dreams and the direction of the heart, but the English broadcast does not."

Girl with long hair: "Didn't you say Boeing 787 Dreamliner? I think it's quite normal."

Wave Girl: "There's no need to translate word by word, right?"

……

Meng Xinzhi slept soundly on the plane.

This is a very magical journey.

She obviously bought economy class. When boarding the plane, the flight attendant looked at the boarding pass and told her to wait a while.

The purser took Meng Xinzhi to a position that would not block passengers from getting on the plane, and explained the situation to her.

The purser said that the passengers sitting next to Mengxinzhi needed to extend their seat belts and occupy two seats due to their special size.

The purser asked Meng Xinzhi if he could change her seat.

Meng Xinzhi readily agreed.

Then, she spent the economy class money and sat in first class.

It's not business class, it's real first class.

On the premise that the price of economy class has soared to that of business class in previous years, the price of first class has long been sky-high.

Meng Xinzhi never thought that there would be such a result.

He also asked if she was really allowed to sit in first class.

The answer given by the purser was that this was the only empty seat on the entire plane.

Meng Xinzhi had heard Zongji tell her about the experience of buying economy class and being upgraded to business class.

But that's all for a reason, and most of them are overbooked by airlines.

In order to ensure the attendance rate, there were only 280 seats, but [-] tickets were sold out.

International flights are basically bought long in advance, and some people will change their bookings for various reasons.

In most cases, the number of people who actually travel in the end may not reach 280.

This means that anyone who wants to go can go.

For some popular flights, if there is no refund or change, some people will not be able to board the plane because the tickets are overbooked.

In this situation, airlines usually have two ways to deal with it.

The first is to pay you 2000 yuan and let you leave the next day. Some even arrange accommodation for the day, which is still five-star.

The second is to upgrade economy class passengers to business class, or upgrade business class passengers to first class.

On a full flight, there are very limited vacancies in business class and first class, and passengers who are overbooked should ask first and get first.

Only the trapeze people who fly around all day have the opportunity to know that there is a second choice when encountering overbooking.

Zongji specially taught Meng Xinzhi.

Air tickets are not easy to buy at this moment, and the cost of overbooking by airlines is relatively high.

The experience her father taught her is useless.

Meng Xinzhi didn't think about it, and there would be a passenger who was directly upgraded to first class because of an abnormally sized passenger in the seat next to her.

Out of concern for the actual situation, Meng Xinzhi also asked the flight attendant: "Do you want to let passengers with special shapes take the first class?"

The purser said: "The first-class cabin cannot lift up the armrest, and it is impossible to sit down when it comes."

Meng Xinzhi was a little curious about how special this passenger's body shape was.

While curious, I also feel lucky.

After asking, Meng Xinzhi readily accepted the seat change arrangement.

Being able to use the economy class money to enjoy the first-class treatment is such a good thing, and there is no reason to refuse it.

……

The flight attendant came over to remind him to adjust the seat and do the safety check before landing, and Meng Xinzhi finally woke up.

When she woke up, she just heard the last few words in Chinese from the captain's radio.

[Dream direction] and [Heart direction], these two sentences are very familiar to Meng Xin.

In the only two replies from her brother to her, they appeared separately.

Mengxin felt a little dazed, and couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream for a while.

Fortunately, the captain's announcement soon changed to English, and the trance caused by too much familiarity disappeared all of a sudden.

The plane landed steadily.

Passengers felt little discomfort.

The purser answered a call from the cockpit.

The voice was not loud, and Meng Xinzhi, who was sitting in the first row, didn't hear it too clearly, only heard one sentence: "This is a landing like a textbook."

Today's aircraft are already very smart.

After rising to the predetermined cruising altitude, it is basically automatic cruising.

The ability of civil aviation pilots can only be reflected during takeoff and landing.

The pursuit of civil aviation is comfort, landing gently, so that passengers don't feel much, it is a "textbook".

It takes a long time for a captain who flies a fighter jet to adjust and adapt.

After the purser hung up the phone, he took an envelope and came to Meng Xinzhi's side.

"Ms. Meng, would you please help us fill out a first-class questionnaire?"

"Convenient! It's my first time to fly first class, and it's free. I must thank you very much."

"You just need to fill out the questionnaire normally, whether it's buying a ticket or upgrading, for us, the service is the same."

"Okay. Does that mean I need to write something more? Shall I write you a thank you note?"

Meng Xinzhi was surprised to think of Nie Guangyi who hadn't appeared in her life for a long time at this moment.

Nie Guangyi arranged for an assistant from the Roman office to send Zongji and Meng Xinzhi to the airport.

Before taking off, Zongji sent a message to Nie Guangyi to express his gratitude.

After settling in London, Zongji asked Meng Xinzhi to also send a message to Nie Guangyi to express his gratitude.

Anyway, Nie Guangyi took her in for several days.

Even if Dad didn't say anything, Meng Xinzhi still wanted to send a message to Nie Guangyi out of politeness.

Then I found out that I was blocked.

Meng Xinzhi didn't tell Zongji about it.

After all, it is two people who have never met before and will never meet again in the future.

Meng Xinzhi could hardly remember what Nie Guangyi looked like, so he was surprised that he could still remember details such as the thank you letter.

But it was only for a moment.

Meng Xinzhi's attention quickly returned to the purser.

"Ms. Meng, if it's convenient for you, you can fill in the comments and suggestions here in detail. You slept all the way today, and we haven't been able to provide you with any services. The thank you letter is a bit ashamed. You won't If you are in a hurry, don't rush to get off the plane, I will make up for the plane meal for you."

"My father is waiting for me at the airport." Meng Xinzhi was a little embarrassed.

"That's okay. The first-class cabin is the first to get off the plane. You should be the last one to get off the plane later, and you should have finished filling it out."

"Okay." Meng Xinzhi asked the flight attendant: "If I can't finish writing, can I take it home and write it before sending it to the airline?"

"It's also possible, Ms. Meng, I'll give you an address later."

Meng Xinzhi was suddenly curious: "I originally bought the economy class, why do you know my surname is Meng? Is there no such standard service for a temporary upgrade like mine?"

"It's written on your boarding pass!" The purser paused: "Although it's in English, there aren't many choices for the surname Meng. You should be Meng Jiangnu's Meng."

"Uh...Meng Jiangnu, I think Mencius' Meng is more representative."

"So, your name is Meng Zi?" The purser's voice changed a bit.

"No, my surname is Meng, the dream of dreams."

"It's the first time for me to receive a passenger surnamed Meng in the first class. The captain notified that the passengers can be disembarked, so I will make some preparations first."

The purser was originally squatting on the edge of Meng Xinzhi's seat to talk to her.

Only now stood up.

Meng Xinzhi promised to seriously write opinions and suggestions, so she really wrote one by one seriously.

It has been written that the passengers in the economy class have all been disembarked.

Meng Xinzhi tidied up her things a little, then started looking for the purser.

Meng Xinzhi looked forward, but did not see the purser, but saw someone coming out of the cab.

The man was wearing a pilot's uniform, with three bars on his shoulders, and was about 1.8 meters tall.

Against the backdrop of the pilot uniform, it looks even more upright.

The person who came out of the cockpit opened his arms to Meng Xinzhi: "The direction of the dream, the direction of the heart, the dream heart, welcome home."

Some of Meng Xin didn't respond.

Unbelievable after the reaction.

What's the situation now, someone is driving a plane to pick her up and go home?
And this person named Meng Xinzhi is too...

Meng Xinzhi just froze and didn't give any response.

"What happened? Did you not like the surprise I gave you?"

Meng Xinzhi jumped up from his seat, and rushed into the man's arms without looking at his image.

When she called Meng Xinzhi before, she still couldn't believe it.

This sound directly brought her from dream to reality: "Brother, why are you flying the plane?!"

"You didn't recognize me until now, did you? In vain, I even designed a captain's announcement just for you." Zong Guang let go of Meng Xinzhi and stared at her face.

"I fell asleep." Meng Xinzhi saw Zong Guang, completely in the state of a little girl.

"So you haven't heard [the direction of the dream, the direction of the heart]?" Zong Guang felt a little regretful.

The captain's broadcast is normally done by the captain.

He, the co-pilot's broadcast, was asked by the captain to apply for it as soon as the crew confirmed it.

"I heard it. But didn't pay attention."

"You can't even hear your brother's voice."

"You can't blame me, who kept you from returning to China for so many years! My brother's voice has changed so much, and he still calls me Meng Xinzhi! Maybe I can realize it immediately when you call me Axin."

"I said it the first time I wrote you a reply, and I will call you Zhi Zhi from now on."

"My brother can call you whatever you want!" Meng Xinzhi was overjoyed: "How did my brother know that I was on this flight?"

"If you are interested, you will know."

"So, this first-class cabin was also arranged by you?"

"Otherwise? Did you just see a special-sized passenger get off the plane?"
