Legendary Captain

"What? Three points?" Qin Zongyang's eyes darted around, and he began to speak sarcastically, "Did that kid Lu Xinyu say that?"

"That's right, President Lu said himself that three points is the bottom line, no more than that," the simulator supervisor said.

"Three points... Well, what can I do when my apprentice is so kind-hearted?" Qin Zongyang sighed dramatically, as if he had really suffered a great injustice in this matter.

"Alright, get back to work!" Qin Zongyang hung up the phone, casually tossing it to Xu Xian, his face full of exasperation: "Why are you so easy to talk to? You just go along with whatever I tell you to do? A whole month! Do we have that much free time to play around with a girl? If you don't try to get some benefits to compensate yourself, are you still my apprentice, Qin Zongyang?"

Xu Xian carefully took the phone: "I'm just a student, what can I do?"

"Things are different now. You're my apprentice, Qin Zongyang. If anything happens, just tell me, and I'll take care of it for you." Qin Zongyang instructed, "Remember, just make me look good. Anything is fine with you, even if it's just selling your looks at the year-end party."

Qin Zongyang suddenly noticed something very interesting and began to look Xu Xian up and down.

Xu Xian felt uneasy under Qin Zongyang's gaze: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"She certainly has a beautiful appearance!" Qin Zongyang revealed a strange smile: "You know our CEO is a woman, right? I just wonder what type she likes? Someone like you, or the masculine type?"

"You're out of your mind!" Xu Xian knew perfectly well Qin Zongyang's despicable intentions. He snorted coldly and strode away.

......

Without Qin Zongyang's obstruction, Feibiao sent the simulator plan separately to Xu Xian's email. When Xu Xian looked at the plan, he was shocked to find that it had been delayed for more than two months.

Normally, initial modification plans are quite tight. However, this time the plan dragged on and on, basically working on it sporadically, stretching what should have been a month-long initial modification process to twice its original length.

When Xu Xian saw the plan, his mindset changed slightly. He immediately called Feibiao to ask why the initial modification could last for so long.

The reason given by Feibiao was that sufficient time had to be allocated according to the requirements of the marketing and branding department, so they had to extend the timeframe.

Star Travel is not yet a large company; the marketing and branding departments are not separated but combined into one.

The marketing and branding department is responsible for packaging and promoting Lianshanxue, frequently shooting promotional videos and organizing events. Therefore, it's impossible for Lianshanxue to undergo intensive training to complete the initial modifications within a month. Furthermore, if unexpected or additional events occur, the simulator training plan will be postponed. This means the entire initial modification process could potentially be extended.

Xu Xian felt like he'd been tricked...

The only good news is that, in principle, the planning department won't assign him flight schedules while he's cooperating with the initial modifications. However, he can calculate his rest time and take on other people's flight assignments during his training breaks.

Although simulator training isn't considered a real flight, it still falls under duty, so rest periods need to be considered. For example, during this initial conversion training with Lian Shanxue, many people had three or four days of rest. In the meantime, if someone wanted to skip a shift, Xu Xian could take over the flight and fly it himself.

This is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!

According to Qin Zongyang, Lian Shanxue was personally recruited by the president and was highly valued. As for why Xu Xian was chosen, it seems Lian Shanxue personally requested him, so it's difficult to deny it. If he angered the president and it affected Qin Zongyang, what chance would he have of promotion?

For the sake of his own promotion, Xu Xian had no choice but to compromise, even though he was unwilling to do so.

If he hadn't learned it from Qin Zongyang, Xu Xian wouldn't have known that he was actually working with Xingyou's "Princess"! However, he was rather puzzled as to why Lian Shanxue had chosen him. Qin Zongyang had said that the Flight Department had provided Lian Shanxue with a complete list of all pilots who had completed initial conversions to Level 2 co-pilots. This didn't make sense; choosing a trainee instead of a higher-level co-pilot simply didn't suffice!

Although he couldn't understand it at all, Xu Xian still needed to prepare properly, since the person he was working with seemed to be a very important figure to him. He worried that if he messed up this simulator collaboration, he might be implicated.

Xu Xian even went to the company's intranet to find information about Lian Shanxue. For someone who might put him in danger, Xu Xian's biggest hope was to get through this quietly and avoid any trouble.

Xu Xian looked at Lian Shanxue's photo and remembered her appearance. Her information also included her contact information. Xu Xian hesitated for a moment, but still decided to give her a call.

Lian Shanxue's number didn't show up as belonging to Dianyungang City, but rather to Rongfu City, another provincial capital in Southwest China. The call connected quickly, and a cool voice came from the other end: "Hello?"

"Oh, hello, I'm Xu Xian. I received a simulator plan to complement your initial modifications..." Xu Xian greeted him in as gentle a tone as possible.

Lian Shanxue paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, please take care of me then."

Seeing that Lian Shanxue was about to hang up, Xu Xian seized the opportunity: "Do you have any other requests?"

"Just cooperate well and don't hold us back," Lian Shanxue said before hanging up the phone.

"Drag... hold me back?" Xu Xian gave a wry smile. He felt completely looked down upon by Lian Shanxue! And it seemed that he could only smile in response.

It's really not easy to make a living!

This time, Lian Shanxue's initial conversion training was also conducted at the Xiangyu Training Center. To be honest, Lian Shanxue's treatment is really good. Being able to fly at the Xiangyu Training Center for initial conversion training is very rare even at Xingyou Aviation, after all, the cost of the Xiangyu Training Center is 20% to 30% higher than that of a normal simulator center.

However, this had one advantage: he could freeload at the hotel near the Xiangyu Training Center. Moreover, since Lian Shanxue was training alone, with only two hours of training time each day, he could conveniently work at the nearby restaurant afterward, thus balancing his job with earning extra money.

Office of the Deputy General Manager of the Flight Department.

Lu Xinyu flipped through Xu Xian's file, starting from his flight school records and continuing all the way to this training session; all the records were here.

Unlike other self-funded flight trainees, who typically only go as far as obtaining their private pilot licenses before applying to airlines and handling the rest of the process, especially the on-site training, which isn't something that can be done simply by spending money.

"Why does it look so much like a trainee program at Starfly Airlines?" Lu Xinyu wondered.
