Legendary Captain

Chapter 160 Xu Xian! Danger!

"Jing Shu! Is it really necessary to be so angry?" In the back seat of the car, Wen Mingyuan carefully chose his words, pretending to be nonchalant as he spoke to Wen Jing Shu. To be honest, this was only the second time Wen Mingyuan had seen Wen Jing Shu so angry since she was born. The first time was when she heard that Xu Jingyang had come to annul the engagement. At that time, Wen Jing Shu didn't smash anything or say anything; she just sat there, and Wen Mingyuan and Wen Yiren didn't dare to utter a single word.

Wen Jingshu slowly turned her head, looking at Wen Mingyuan's awkward smile: "Is there a problem?"

Upon hearing Wen Jingshu's murderous tone, Wen Mingyuan coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness: "I meant I'll assign you two skilled bodyguards later. Let others handle the physical work. Our Jingshu should be a gentle and virtuous girl."

To outsiders, Wen Mingyuan is the ruthless and decisive head of the Wen Group, but to his family, he is a complete doting father to his daughter, Wen Jingshu, and has no way to deal with her.

Wen Mingyuan's dry laughter reached Wen Jingshu's ears, only earning her a glare in return. Wen Jingshu said indifferently, "I prefer to do these things myself."

"Self-reliance leads to abundance, great!" Wen Mingyuan instinctively agreed. Then, recalling Wen Jingshu's previous statement, he suddenly felt like an idiot.

There was no way around it; Wen Mingyuan was under immense pressure standing next to Wen Jingshu in her current state. He even regretted his indifference towards Chen Qi's threatening words to Xu Xian earlier.

Wen Jingshu no longer wanted to talk to Wen Mingyuan, who had seemingly lost his mind, and instead closed her eyes to rest.

Wen Mingyuan was furious at his daughter's cold treatment, but he dared not lash out. He hesitated several times, unable to get any real information out of her.

Instead, Wen Jingshu spoke up: "Speak your mind."

"In a few days, the group will be handed over to you. Um... what you said about breaking ties with the Chen family earlier, that was probably just said in anger, right?" Wen Mingyuan wanted to confirm Wen Jingshu's thoughts.

Wen Jingshu is right; the stability of the group holds a very important place in Wen Mingyuan's heart.

However, the same principle cannot be simply applied to Wen Jingshu.

"You think I'm joking?" Wen Jingshu opened her eyes. "That didn't seem like a joke situation!"

"Hahahaha! My daughter is right. The Chen father and son are in cahoots and are extremely despicable. They must be taught a lesson. My good daughter, you did the right thing. We cannot compromise with such cowards who fear power but not morality!" Under Wen Jingshu's calm and collected gaze, Wen Mingyuan once again lost his stance.

Looking at her father's somewhat embarrassed expression, Wen Jingshu finally sighed softly, "Dad, have you forgotten how Mom left?"

Wen Mingyuan paused, then remained silent for a few seconds, as if he had let go of something: "Whatever you say! Renxin Hospital is our family's business. As long as Renxin Hospital is fine, you can do whatever you want with the rest!"

The day was the day Xu Jingyang was discharged from the hospital. Xu Xian and his family of three carried large and small bags and took a taxi back to Ningyue Community.

Xu Xian had previously told Xu Jingyang that the new buyer had agreed to continue lending them the garage to live in. Xu Jingyang was overjoyed; getting something for free is always a pleasant thing.

"You live here?" Huang Ying knew, of course, that their family used to live in a villa in Ningyue Community, and that Xu Xian and his son seemed to be heading in the direction of their former home.

Xu Jingyang sighed deeply, "Yes! It's so miserable! The winter winds are biting cold, and the summers are like a sauna, it's awful!"

If not now, when?

Xu Xian was utterly disdainful of his father's scheming. However, Huang Ying clearly didn't care about Xu Jingyang's life or death, but instead asked Xu Xian with concern, "Xianbao, is that really true? If it is, you'll come back with me. Although it won't be as good as before, at least you won't suffer."

Xu Jingyang vomited three liters of blood on the spot. So Huang Ying only saw Xu Xian, and he wasn't even considered human? She just wanted him to fend for himself?

He originally wanted to play the victim in front of his ex-wife to gain Huang Ying's sympathy, but instead he suffered such great mental harm.

As they approached their front door, Xu Xian and Xu Jingyang froze. They looked around, Xu Xian even checking the house number to make sure they were in the right place, before exclaiming in surprise, "This is the garage?"

"Son! Which renovation company came to the wrong place?" In front of Xu Jingyang, the entire garage space had been completely transformed.

Originally, Xu Jingyang only used a few curtains to divide the space, but now the garage space has been divided into several areas in an orderly manner using special partitions and cabinets. Even the walls have been covered with wallpaper, and a lot of furniture has been added.

"That's the restroom?" Xu Jingyang asked incredulously, pointing to a specially partitioned area in the corner.

Xu Xian quickly stepped forward to check, and soon after, Xu Xian's voice rang out: "It really is the bathroom!"

"What's going on? Did a renovation company really go to the wrong place?" Xu Jingyang muttered.

Just then, a voice came from behind: "Excuse me, is that Mr. Xu Xian?"

The sudden sound startled Xu Jingyang and Huang Ying. They turned around and saw a person wearing a dark blue work uniform with some kind of decoration facing them.

"It really is a renovation company!" Xu Jingyang was stunned.

The construction worker asked again, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xu Xian?"

"Huh? No, he is."

"I'm Xu Xian, what's up?" Xu Xian had already returned to the door and picked up where the renovation worker left off.

"Here's the thing. We've completed the interior renovations as required. We'll be replacing the curtain doors today, which might be quite noisy. If possible, we suggest you come back in the evening," the renovation worker said.

"Change the door? Change it to what kind of door?" Xu Xian frowned. "Whose requests are you following?"

"Wait a minute, let me check." The construction worker glanced at his phone and pulled up the electronic order: "It's for someone named Yang Ning."

"Yang Ning? Wen." Xu Xian finally understood. He had promised Wen Jingshu that he would help her manage the villa here, and in return, Wen Jingshu would help renovate the living environment of the garage.

Xu Xian hadn't taken this seriously, but he hadn't expected Wen Jingshu to act so quickly and make such a big fuss.

This is no longer a simple renovation, but a complete transformation.

Construction worker: "Is there a problem?"

Xu Xian rubbed his temples and waved his hand, "It's nothing, you guys go ahead with your work!"

After saying that, he said to Xu Jingyang, "Dad, put the things down, let's go for a walk for a while."

Xu Jingyang pulled Xu Xian aside: "What's going on?"

Do you know who the new buyer of this villa is?

Xu Jingyang: "Really?"

"Wen Jingshu!"

"What?" Xu Jingyang almost jumped up: "Then this renovation company?"

"It was her too!" Xu Xian said helplessly. "She said she rarely came here and wanted to find someone trustworthy to help clean the house. So she made an agreement with me that I would be responsible for cleaning the house regularly, and she would waive all our fees and even help renovate the garage."

"Such a good thing?" Xu Jingyang's mouth dropped open in a wide grin.

Xu Xian rolled his eyes: "Is this a good thing? You're beholden to those who pay for your food, don't you know that?!"

"That depends on who she is! She's my own daughter-in-law, family! There's no need to be so formal," Xu Jingyang said with a smile.

"Wow, you're being too formal," Xu Xian shook his head and smiled wryly. Xu Jingyang really wished he could marry Wen Jingshu tomorrow.

After the safety conference plan was reviewed and approved, Xu Xian received a call from the fleet, saying that he would be speaking at the safety conference.

Xu Xian had anticipated this outcome, and Qin Zongyang had tried his best to salvage the situation, but ultimately all his efforts were in vain, and there was really nothing he could do.

Of course, Xu Xian wasn't being shameless and enjoyed losing face in front of so many people, but there were many things he couldn't control.

Fortunately, there were several other pilots who were going on stage with him that day, so he wasn't the only one appearing alone. This diverted some attention and prevented him from being too embarrassed.

On the day of the security conference, the business jet tarmac at Yunnan Yun Airport.

Wen Jingshu finally made it back!

After disembarking from the plane, there will be a special shuttle bus to take you out through another exit directly to the Star Travel Aviation Base.

In the car, Wen Jingshu asked Yang Ning, "Will we still make it to the safety conference?"

Yang Ning checked the time: "No problem, the conference should start just as I arrive at the company."

Wen Jingshu nodded: "The procedures have all been reviewed, right? There shouldn't be any problems. Although this is an internal meeting, it's on the same day as the airline's exchange meeting. There's no guarantee that people from other companies won't come to watch. We shouldn't let any issues arise."

"Li Yuan has reviewed it, so there shouldn't be any problems," Yang Ning replied. She believed that Li Yuan was capable of handling a meeting of this level.

"I see!" Wen Jingshu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Yang Ning hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miss, you should appoint a new president as soon as possible. The group still needs you to oversee things."

Wen Jingshu has already taken over as the group's chairperson, but this has not yet been announced.

Now that I've become the chairman of the group, I can no longer stay at Star Travel Airlines as president. I must find a new president to take over.

Wen Jingshu's plan was to announce her job transfer and the new president of Xingyou Airlines on the same day she found a suitable candidate. Anyway, her father could still hold the fort for a while, so she didn't need to worry too much about the group for the time being.

"Yes, I know what I'm doing." Wen Jingshu looked out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

The company's lobby on the first floor was already filled with chairs and a stage had been set up. This was the venue for the opening ceremony of the safety conference and airline exchange meeting.

Xu Xian, dressed in his uniform, had arrived early. Surrounding him were the pilots who would be going on stage with him later, all silent and looking gloomy.

Xu Xian was also quite depressed. The thought of being humiliated in front of hundreds of people in a moment was excruciating. However, life had to go on, so he could only suppress his grief and silently recall what he was going to say on stage.

Indeed, Xu Xian had specially written a speech for this conference to avoid making a fool of himself on the spot. However, once he arrived at the venue and felt the negative energy emanating from the people around him, Xu Xian's mood plummeted.

The company's temporary dressing room on the eighth floor.

"This is the agenda for the opening ceremony of this safety conference and airline exchange meeting. Take a look." The assistant handed two stacks of documents to Lian Shanxue. "At the safety conference, you just need to say a few words at the end. The airline opening ceremony is more important; you'll be speaking as a pilot representative, so you need to memorize this speech carefully."

"Mmm!" Lian Shanxue took the documents and nodded, not at all surprised.

She has to make an appearance at any public event; that's her role.

Lian Shanxue first glanced through the process materials for the security conference, and immediately spotted a familiar name.

"Sister, what's this?" Lian Shanxue asked, pointing to one of the sections.

The assistant glanced at it: "Oh, this seems to be for pilots who have recently had issues with their work style to come up on stage and reflect on their actions. You don't need to worry about this."

"Go up on stage to reflect? In front of so many people? Isn't that humiliating?" Lian Shanxue exclaimed excitedly. Following this segment was a list of pilots, and Xu Xian was prominently featured.

The assistant curled his lip: "Anyway, it's not us who are losing face."

To be honest, even she, someone from the publicity department, thought it was outrageous that the flight department had gone to such lengths for formalism. The whole thing, aside from embarrassing those pilots, seemed utterly pointless.

Lian Shanxue suddenly became somewhat irritated: "Can you tell the flight department to send someone else?"

Lian Shanxue wasn't a saint; she had no interest in anyone except Xu Xian.

"Change players? Who would you replace them with?!"

Lian Shanxue pointed to Xu Xian's name on the pilot list: "Him!"

"Xu Xian? Isn't that the pilot you asked me before if I could cooperate with you?" The assistant exclaimed in surprise, "Thank goodness it didn't happen, or things would have been a disaster."

"Can we change the player?" Lian Shanxue asked again.

The assistant barely hesitated: "How could we possibly replace someone? This is the flight department's own business. Why should we ask them to replace someone? Besides, the conference is about to start; there's no time to consider it."

As the assistant spoke, something suddenly occurred to her: "What is he to you?"

At this point, Lian Shanxue was completely flustered and had no time to answer her assistant's gossip. After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Call the marketing director and tell him that I have decided on the coordinators for the year-end celebration."

In a large company, Lianshan Snow's affairs would likely be handled by a brand director. However, Xingyou Airlines is not a large company, so it falls under the management of the marketing director.

"Huh? Oh, oh!" The assistant quickly dialed the number of marketing director Li Chuan, then handed the phone to Lian Shanxue: "It's connected."

Lian Shanxue answered the phone: "Is this Mr. Li? I've found someone to work with for the year-end celebration."

"Really? That's great! I've been worrying about this lately. Who is it? I need to talk to the flight department and coordinate his mission arrangements," Li Chuan said with a smile.

Once the coordinators are confirmed, the year-end celebration will definitely be the top priority, and all other flight-related tasks will have to be postponed. This requires contacting the flight department to manage their schedules and avoid conflicts with filming times.

Lian Shanxue replied, "It's a co-pilot from the flight department named Xu Xian."

"Co-pilot? That's a young guy! Sure, sure, it's a bit incongruous to pair you with those veteran instructors. I'll talk to the flight department about it later," Li Chuan said.

Just then, Lian Shanxue finally revealed her thoughts: "President Li, we may not be able to wait any longer. The safety conference is about to begin, and Xu Xian is going to give a speech reflecting on his actions."

"What? The person you're looking for has recently gotten into trouble?" Li Chuan frowned.

If this Xu Xian shows up on stage, how can we possibly get a role in the year-end celebration promotional video? Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the entire company?

Li Chuan firmly stated, "No, absolutely not. I don't agree with this candidate. Find someone else."

"It can't be changed!" Lian Shanxue insisted.

"Our company's promotional video is going to be played at the group's year-end celebration. Do you want to embarrass our company in front of the entire group?" Li Chuan's voice was already tinged with anger.

Lian Shanxue remained unfazed: "Then I won't act anymore!"

"reason?"

"I'm not feeling well."

"But you don't sound unwell!"

Lian Shanxie: "I will feel very uncomfortable after Xu Xian takes the stage."

Then came a long silence from Li Chuan. After a while, Li Chuan said, "Aren't you afraid we'll terminate the contract?"

"If you want, I will sign the termination agreement." Lian Shanxue actually accepted Li Chuan's words.

"Termination agreement?" The assistant next to him was startled when he heard these words. How did they get to the termination agreement?

"Lianshan Xue, you..." Li Chuan stammered, then finally hung up the phone.

Lian Shanxue handed the phone back to her assistant, who immediately asked, "What's going on? Why are you mentioning the termination agreement?"

"It's alright, I won't terminate the contract," Lian Shanxue said with a smile.

Female pilots like Lian Shanxue, who are both beautiful and highly skilled, are very difficult to train. She didn't believe the company would terminate her contract over this matter.

I don't think they'll terminate the contract! Even though they took some risks, Lian Shanxue can't worry about that now.

In a corner at the back of the conference hall, Qin Zongyang and Lu Xinyu stood side by side, their eyes fixed on Xu Xian's back in front of them.

"Happy now?" Qin Zongyang said resentfully.

Lu Xinyu smiled slightly: "I am quite happy!"

Seeing Lu Xinyu's smug look, Qin Zongyang's hatred intensified: "Don't be so smug. You better not let me catch you doing anything wrong, or I'll kill you!"

"We'll see." Lu Xinyu didn't take it seriously at all.

Seeing that the conference had already begun, Qin Zongyang couldn't bear to watch Xu Xian's humiliating performance, so he said a few more harsh words and hurriedly left the venue.

After Qin Zongyang slunk away, Lu Xinyu felt incredibly relieved. Suddenly, his phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was the marketing director calling.

"Mr. Li, is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Chuan's deep voice rang out: "Did you prepare the list of pilots who went to reflect on their actions at this safety conference?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Could someone else get out? A co-pilot named Xu Xian."

Lu Xinyu immediately became alert: "President Li, this isn't a good idea to change it. The conference has already started."

"Did Xu Xian go on stage?" Li Chuan pressed.

Lu Xinyu looked up at the floors above, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to tell the truth: "Not yet."

"That's settled then. Remove him from the list and suppress the public announcement of his punishment," Li Chuan said.

Lu Xinyu's features contorted in anger: "President Li, can you give me a reason?"

"Does this need a reason? Is it that hard to ask you to switch passenger seats?"

Lu Xinyu gritted his teeth: "President Li, I can't agree to that."

Having finally seized an opportunity to strike at Qin Zongyang, how could Lu Xinyu possibly give up so easily?

"Can't agree?" Li Chuan's voice grew even more sinister. "Lu Xinyu, do you think you're so great just because you're the deputy general manager of the flight department? If something goes wrong at the year-end celebration, can you, as a mere deputy general manager, take responsibility?"

"Year-end celebration?" Lu Xinyu was puzzled.

Li Chuan roared, "Xu Xian was the one chosen to star in the year-end celebration promotional video. You made him lose face today, how can we use him now?"

"He's going to film the year-end celebration video? Why didn't I hear about it?" Lu Xinyu asked. "President Li, couldn't you have chosen someone else?"

"I want to replace him too, but is that even possible?" Li Chuan unleashed all the anger he had been holding back during his call with Lian Shanxue onto Lu Xinyu: "Lu Xinyu, I'm saying this one last time, replace Xu Xian, immediately!"

Lu Xinyu was furious, recalling his smug demeanor in front of Qin Zongyang, which only made it more ironic. But Li Chuan was practically ready to break off all ties with him, and Lu Xinyu really didn't have the courage to continue disobeying him.

"Okay, Mr. Li!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Lu Xinyu looked up and saw Xu Xian's somewhat bewildered profile. His resentment grew stronger, but he eventually calmed down and made a call to his assistant.

In the back corner on the other side of Lu Xinyu, Wen Jingshu found an empty seat and sat down, with Yang Ning next to her.

"President Wen, this is the agenda for the opening ceremony of the safety conference and the airline exchange meeting. You will be giving a speech at the opening ceremony of the airline exchange meeting later." Li Yuan had been waiting since receiving the news. As soon as Wen Jingshu sat down, she handed her the documents and a piece of paper: "This is our prepared speech."

Preparing drafts is always the CEO's office's responsibility. Even though Wen Jingshu wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, the CEO's office still had to prepare the drafts.

Wen Jingshu smiled and took the manuscript: "Aunt Ning told me that you reviewed all the procedures for the security conference?"

Li Yuan immediately nodded obediently in agreement.

"From now on, you can handle these things yourself. You don't need to ask me anymore. Just organize everything and send it over for me to sign," Wen Jingshu said.

Li Yuan was overjoyed. This was Wen Jingshu giving her more power, which clearly showed that she valued her!

"Then you'll have to work hard from now on." Yang Ning was also happy. Li Yuan had been with her since she joined the company, and now she was finally about to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Li Yuan quickly replied, "It's all what I should do."

Wen Jingshu returned the process documents to Li Yuan without even glancing at them, and only gave the draft a cursory glance. This kind of occasion didn't require her to be overly formal.

Suddenly, Wen Jingshu spotted a familiar figure in the front row. Even without seeing his face, Wen Jingshu was certain that it was Xu Xian.

Strangely, Xu Xian and several other pilots did not sit with the other pilots, which seemed somewhat out of place.

At this point, after the general manager of the flight department finished his opening remarks, the host began to lay the groundwork for Xu Xian and his team, essentially emphasizing the importance of work ethic. Then, the host abruptly changed the subject, inviting pilots who had recently had issues with their work ethic to share their experiences and lessons learned.

Upon hearing this, the pilots next to Xu Xian all stood up, and even Xu Xian seemed about to stand up as well.

Wen Jingshu's pupils constricted sharply. She thought of something terrifying, pointed at the pilots who were standing up in the front row, and asked, "What are they going to do?"

Li Yuan immediately replied, "These are the pilots who are going up to give a speech!"

"What did you say?" Wen Jingshu suddenly stood up, preparing to grab Xu Xian, but her movements stopped instantly.

In her eyes, there was someone else beside Xu Xian at some point, and that person was Lian Shanxue.

Xu Xian looked at Lian Shanxue, who was gripping his wrist, with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

He was just about to go on stage when Lian Shanxue, who appeared out of nowhere, grabbed him.

Lian Shanxue laughed and said, "You don't need to go up."

"What did you say?" Xu Xian was full of questions.

Just then, a staff member from the flight department rushed over and said to Xu Xian, "Xu Xian, right? You don't need to go on stage, just sit down."

"What's going on?" Xu Xian looked at Lian Shanxue, then at the flight department staff who had come to report the news, and couldn't quite make sense of it.

Seeing that Xu Xian hadn't reacted yet, Lian Shanxue winked at him playfully: "What? You want to go up and show off?"

Although he didn't understand what had happened, not having to go up was something to celebrate, so he quickly laughed and said, "Am I stupid to want to go up?"

Lian Shanxue's smile immediately brightened, and she pulled Xu Xian to walk outside: "I have a feeling that someone is going to treat me to dinner today."

Xu Xian was taken aback, but immediately realized that Lian Shanxue had helped him. He then said generously, "Come on, it's on me. Eat whatever you want at the company cafeteria."

"The company cafeteria?" Lian Shanxue was furious, lightly punching Xu Xian with her small fist. "You're treating me to a meal at the company cafeteria? How can you do this?"

"Hahaha! Okay, okay! I'm going back to change my clothes. Are you coming with me, or should we meet up later?" Xu Xian asked.

Lian Shanxue: "Go back and change your clothes first. I still have some things to take care of here. I'll come find you when I'm done."

The two smiled at each other, and Xu Xian gave an OK sign.

At this moment, Wen Jingshu's face, which was not far away, was already ashen!
