Legendary Captain

Xu Xian's eyes snapped open, a jolt running through him: "Who are you?"

Qin Zongyang, whose hair was already showing some gray strands, pulled over a chair with a grin and sat down casually a meter away from Xu Xian.

"We just talked on the phone, huh?" Qin Zongyang looked Xu Xian up and down like he was appraising merchandise, nodding and saying, "He's decent-looking, but a bit effeminate."

Xu Xian's lips twitched: "Are you the one who threw the dart just now?"

Just over an hour ago, Xu Xian received a call from a landline number, which was Fei Biao's landline number. The person on the other end immediately asked Xu Xian where he was, speaking in a very urgent tone, as if something terrible would happen if he were even a few seconds late.

Since it was Fei Biao's phone call and his workplace wasn't exactly a secret, Xu Xian gave the caller the restaurant's address. To his surprise, the person on the other end was Qin Zongyang.

Qin Zongyang was now racing against time, not wanting to waste a single moment. After obtaining Xu Xian's specific information, he specifically used the Feibiao office phone. Otherwise, if he called using his own mobile phone, Xu Xian would see it was an unfamiliar number and immediately ask where he was, most likely he would be mistaken for a lunatic.

Qin Zongyang went to great lengths to secure Xu Xian's position.

There was no other way; he didn't have much time left. He had waited so long to finally find a promising talent, so how could he not hold on to him tightly?

"Do you recognize me?" Qin Zongyang's old face was all smiles, like a sunflower, trying his best to appear kind and amiable.

Xu Xian leaned back slightly, trying to create some distance between himself and the somewhat abnormal old man.

Seeing that Xu Xian remained silent, Qin Zongyang wasn't angry. He patiently introduced himself: "Qin Zongyang, Deputy General Manager of the Flight Department. Now you know!"

Xu Xian stopped moving backward instantly, slapping his thigh: "I know, I know!"

Qin Zongyang, Vice President Qin! Who in the Flight Department doesn't know him? Especially among the trainees, his reputation is legendary. Even though Xu Xian isn't active in the trainee circle, he still knows a thing or two about Qin Zongyang.

"Haha! Now that you know, things are much easier." Qin Zongyang laughed. "You didn't assign yourself to a teaching group, did you?"

Several days have passed since Xu Xian's departure inspection. Logically, there should be no further obstacles after Xu Xian's departure, and the fleet should send him a job assignment email according to procedure, which should include information about his squadron. There should also typically be an email regarding his training group assignment, which should include information about the training group he is assigned to.

One email assigned to the squadron, and the other to the training group; these two emails should have been sent to the person in charge after the squadron assignment was confirmed.

If Xu Xian received the assignment email for this training group, things would be a bit more complicated, but not impossible. Logically, the past two days were the weekend, so the fleet shouldn't have been that busy. Therefore, the chances of Xu Xian not being assigned to a training group are still higher.

Xu Xian's muscles suddenly tensed, and he instantly became alert: "President Qin, my teaching group hasn't been divided yet..."

"No points? That's great!" Qin Zongyang's smile made the wrinkles around his eyes even more pronounced.

The happier Qin Zongyang was, the more uneasy Xu Xian became. Instinctively, he felt that something strange was amiss about the whole affair.

Qin Zongyang was in high spirits: "Xu Xian, how about you join my teaching group?"

"What?" Xu Xian felt his stomach churning, his head spinning, and an intense feeling of nausea suddenly appeared, almost making him vomit up the food he had just eaten.

Xu Xian forcibly suppressed his inner shock and forced a dry laugh, "President Qin, this is no joke!"

That's right! Absolutely not! Just hearing this suggestion made Xu Xian almost nauseous. If he accepted it, wouldn't he have to vomit his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys?

Joining Qin Zongyang's teaching group would ruin half of his path to becoming a captain, wouldn't it? Everyone else is on the main road, but Qin Zongyang's apprentice is forced to take a narrow, winding path. That won't do, that won't do!

As far as Xu Xian knew, Qin Zongyang hadn't taken on any apprentices for some time, supposedly because he knew he wasn't good at teaching. Today, it seems Qin Zongyang truly hadn't recognized his own limitations.

"How can you call it a joke? Do I look like I'm joking?" Qin Zongyang said unhappily, "Have you heard some rumors about me? As the saying goes, 'three men can make a tiger,' you can't let a single leaf blind you!"

Xu Xian maintained an awkward yet polite smile on his face, but in his heart he had already begun to curse the other party's family.

Am I blinded by a single leaf? The only lifelong co-pilot in Star Travel Aviation's history came from Qin Zongyang's training group. Isn't that enough to illustrate the point? Xu Xian doesn't want to be the second one!

"President Qin, I still need to listen to the team's arrangements regarding which teaching group I'm assigned to!" Xu Xian didn't want to directly confront Qin Zongyang, so he passed the matter on to the team.

"You're going to follow the fleet's arrangements? Then I'll go talk to the fleet. Remember what you said! Obey the fleet's arrangements!" Qin Zongyang suddenly stood up and prepared to leave.

"Oh my god!" Xu Xian was startled and quickly stepped forward to block Qin Zongyang's path. "President Qin, there are plenty of students more outstanding than me. What if I and your teaching team embarrass you?"

Qin Zongyang chuckled: "You've already lost face pretty badly, no worries! But don't underestimate yourself. Your single-shot maneuver during the simulator test the other day was truly impressive; you didn't lose out by following me, Qin Zongyang!"

Even now, looking back, Xu Xian's single-shot maneuver still manages to shock Qin Zongyang.

This kid must be captured!

Xu Xian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth. Qin Zongyang hadn't lost out, but Xu Xian had suffered a huge loss. This concerned his future prospects, and he absolutely couldn't make a hasty decision.

"President Qin, to be honest with you, I'm really short of money right now. I just want to become a captain as soon as possible and earn more money! I don't have that much time to take detours!" For the sake of his future career as a captain and his financial prospects, Xu Xian had to make things clear.

He didn't have any grand ambitions; he just wanted to make money, and more money. The salary for a co-pilot was already significantly higher than for a regular job, but Xu Xianjia's bankruptcy still left him with numerous unresolved lawsuits.

If you win those lawsuits, you don't have to pay compensation; if you lose... then you'll have to pay even more debt.

Although the major debts have been resolved, what remains are only small amounts, but even these small amounts are a huge burden for the Xu family now.

He and his father, Xu Jingyang, couldn't live in a garage forever, nor could they be broke forever. Therefore, Xu Xian wanted to accumulate experience as quickly as possible to become a captain, at which point his salary would increase significantly, and his family's life would be much better.

In Qin Zongyang's teaching group, the time required for the machine to be used was generally at least two years longer than normal. Xu Xian did not want to waste those two years.

"Money? Why didn't you say so earlier!" Qin Zongyang's eyes immediately lit up. "That's easy!"
