Chapter 300: Setting the Fighter Flight Schedule

According to Ye Qing, even if it's just a trial flight, there are still various reviews and approvals required from relevant departments. The procedures will take some time, so it's tentatively scheduled to be arranged after this refresher training is completed.

Luohang Industry's flight base is in Rongfu, which is not far from Yunnan, making it very convenient to get there. The two hit it off immediately. Xu Xian's thought was that no matter what, he should go and fly it first to get a feel for it. As for whether he would join the fighter pilot ranks, he would have to see how it went after the flight.

What if fighter jets look interesting, but actually flying them is much less fun?

After agreeing on the arrangements, Ye Qing escorted Xu Xian back to the simulator center, and the two parted ways. Xu Xian's potential entry into the ranks of fighter pilots involved numerous factors, requiring Ye Qing to make arrangements in advance.

After finishing his business, Xu Xian returned to his room, packed his clothes, and then felt bored. He had originally thought that queuing at a large hospital like the Air Force General Hospital, which was always packed with people, was normal. In Yunnan, even the First People's Hospital of Yunnan was often overcrowded. Queuing for several hours was quite common, and by the time it was his turn, the doctor had already gone home.

Therefore, Xu Xian instructed the staff at Feibiao to schedule all training sessions for the evenings, so that they could finish in the next few days if they couldn't complete it that day. However, Ye Qing was surprisingly efficient and arranged everything perfectly. There was no need to queue at all, except for a little time spent waiting for the results of the inspections. Otherwise, everything went smoothly.

"So Renxin Hospital made a mistake?" Xu Xian lay on the bed, talking to himself listlessly.

However, looking back, although my cell surface lipoprotein receptors and lipid metabolism enzymes are still within the normal range, they are much lower than those of ordinary people. This should still be due to some genetic influence, but the genetic influence may not be that great.

Xu Xian had heard that there was basically no cure for hyperlipidemia caused by genetic factors, so he didn't care much about things like exercise. Since there was no cure, he figured he might as well give up.

However, now that he has heard that his hyperlipidemia and even coronary atherosclerosis can be cured on their own, Xu Xian's confidence has greatly increased. After thinking about it, he decided to go outside for a walk, just as a form of exercise.

Looking back now, his father's coronary heart disease had a genetic component, but it was mostly due to the decadent lifestyle he led during the years after the Xu family went bankrupt. Now, Xu Jingyang's coronary atherosclerosis is quite severe, requiring a coronary stent, and it's impossible for it to recover on its own, while Xu Xian still has that opportunity.

Anyway, there's nothing much to do right now. There's nothing special to pay attention to in the regular refresher training, and there's no pressure to review. Since he's just killing time anyway, Xu Xian changed his clothes and prepared to take a stroll around the neighborhood.

After changing his clothes, Xu Xian glanced at the map on his phone, planned his route, and then went out with a bottle of water.

To be honest, the air quality in Hanjing is not as good as in Yunnan. Although wages are low and prices are high in Yunnan, at least the environment is good. Hanjing, aside from offering a dream of rapid advancement, doesn't seem like a good place for people from the lower and middle classes, according to Xu Xian.

Fortunately, the simulator center is located in a remote area with not many vehicles outside, so it's not to the point where we have to inhale car exhaust fumes.

While strolling around the simulator center, Xu Xian noticed a man and a woman walking towards him. He didn't recognize the woman, but the man looked somewhat familiar.

Isn't this Wen Jingshu's brother, Wen Yiren?

Wen Yiren also noticed Xu Xian, and was equally taken aback for a moment before slowly approaching him: "What are you doing here?"

The hot girl next to Wen Yiren glanced at Xu Xian. Apart from his good looks, he didn't have any other special features. He didn't look like a rich young master. If Xu Xian wasn't good-looking, he would probably be the kind of ordinary person you wouldn't be able to find on the street.

However, the girl knew Wen Yiren's identity and found it strange that Wen Yiren knew such an ordinary young man.

"I'm here for refresher training, and I'll be staying in the back." Xu Xian pointed to the apartment building at the simulator center. There weren't any tall buildings around here, except for the simulator center's apartment building, which was quite tall. Wen Yiren recognized it as soon as Xu Xian pointed.

Wen Yiren smiled and said, "So it was work. I knew it. With your lazy nature, you wouldn't be interested in moving if it weren't for work."

"What about you?" Xu Xian gestured towards the girl next to Wen Yiren with his chin. "Really?"

"How could that be true!" Wen Yiren warmly put his arm around Xu Xian's shoulder, led him to the other side of the sidewalk, and said with a smile, "Has my old man been looking for you lately?"

"Your old man? Didn't he go abroad? What does he want with me?"

"Not my dad, but above him, my grandpa." Wen Yiren patted Xu Xian's chest, causing Xu Xian to roll his eyes.

Xu Xian said irritably, "We met once before, but we didn't speak to each other. The old man didn't come looking for me either, so what's going on?"

Wen Changxing also attended the ultra-low-altitude leveling performance at Hamchi Airport, and Xu Xian also saw him. However, Xu Xian and Wen Changxing did not meet privately, and Xu Xian felt there was no need for it; he didn't seem to have much to say to Wen Changxing.

Because of Wen Jingshu, Wen Yiren almost became Xu Xian's brother-in-law. Moreover, Wen Yiren didn't have the typical spoiled rich kid's temper; he was actually quite nice. However, when Xu Xian was with Wen Yiren, he always felt that Wen Yiren was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and that he was like a lamb in front of him, easily falling into his trap. Therefore, Xu Xian believed it was best to avoid people he couldn't understand at all. Even when he and Wen Jingshu were at their most intimate, Xu Xian didn't interact much with Wen Yiren.

Therefore, when Xu Xian encountered Wen Yiren today and saw how enthusiastic Wen Yiren was, he felt rather unaccustomed to it.

"Let's change the subject. Let me ask you a question," Wen Yiren said with a smile. "If, I mean, if you and Jing Shu got together and had a child, and my grandfather wanted your first child to have the surname Wen, would you be willing?"

"Surname Wen?" Xu Xian sneered disdainfully, "What era are we living in? Only your Wen family has a throne to inherit? And you still call yourself Wen? What kind of feudal thinking is that!"

Wen Yiren flicked his fingernail: "The throne is out of the question. Although our Wen family is not extremely wealthy, we still have accumulated several hundred billion."

"What do you mean? You think I'm the kind of person who would abandon my principles for money? Let me tell you, you underestimate me!"

Wen Yiren raised both hands, chuckling, "I'm just making things clear to you beforehand to avoid any unpleasantness later. Of course, all of this should be based on the premise that you can be with Jing Shu. By the way, what's the situation with you? Can't you give me a straight answer? When? How long have you been stringing our Wen family's princess along? Are you just taking advantage of the fact that Jing Shu can't live without you, trying to sell yourself to me for the highest bidder?"

It's always been the Wen family who's stringing others along; when has anyone ever been able to string the Wen family along? Yet Xu Xian still did just that.

"You should mind your own business. If you could fulfill your responsibilities as the eldest son of the Wen family, would your grandfather need to keep thinking about feudal remnants?" Xu Xian retorted.

Wen Yiren was speechless after being refuted by Xu Xian, and his face turned slightly red with embarrassment. Putting aside everything else, at least as the eldest son of the Wen family, Wen Yiren had not taken any responsibility in carrying on the family line, which led Wen Changxing to have the old feudal idea of ​​changing the surname of Xu Xian and Wen Jingshu's first child.

Wen Yiren was unwilling to discuss such topics with Xu Xian, and instead changed the subject, saying, "I know that my father did some bad things to your Xu family before. If you hold a grudge because of this, our Wen family can give you a portion of our shares in Shenggong Construction. The value of these shares should be comparable to your family's previous shares in Tianyu Construction."

"No, what kind of bad ideas are you all hiding?" Xu Xian had a very strong feeling that many people were trying to recruit him to their side.

Ye Qing was one, and now Wen Yiren is too.

"Look at what you're saying. Look at my face, I'm clearly an honest and simple person. How could I possibly have any bad intentions?" Wen Yiren said sincerely. "Besides, I almost became your brother-in-law, would I really harm you?"

Xu Xian curled his lip: "Your dad almost became my father-in-law! He didn't hesitate at all when he stabbed my family in the back."

"That was done by my dad. It has nothing to do with me or Jing Shu. You can't shift my dad's responsibility onto us."

"Isn't it only natural that children should pay for their fathers' debts?" Xu Xian scoffed.

"So, that's why I'm giving you half of the Wen family's shares in Shenggong Construction. This is my way of repaying you." Wen Yiren leaned closer again, a peculiar smile on his face. "Consider that half of the shares your brother-in-law is giving you and Jing Shu as a gift. What do you think?"

Xu Xian's lips twitched. Why did he like giving money as a gift so much? Before, Xu Qing used the investment in Kunyang Airport as his and Wen Jingshu's gift money, and now Wen Yiren is using half of Shenggong Construction's shares as his gift money. When did he become so extravagant?

"Brother-in-law, right?" Xu Xian suddenly remembered something and wrapped his arms around Wen Yiren's neck. "Could you do me a favor, brother-in-law?"

"He's practically my brother-in-law now, so it's my duty, no doubt about it." Wen Yiren was overjoyed: "Brother-in-law, just say the word!"

Xu Xian's eyelids twitched, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he said, "How about you help me investigate a company?"

"Investigate a company? What company?" Wen Yiren was taken aback. He couldn't understand why Xu Xian wanted to investigate a company. Xu Xian was basically out of touch with the business world, so why did he suddenly become interested in investigating a company?

Xu Xian uttered four words: "Luoyang Aerospace Industry".

"Luoyang Aerospace Industry!!!!" Wen Yiren almost jumped up: "Why are you investigating Luoyang Aerospace Industry? You haven't gotten yourself into trouble, have you? This company is not to be trifled with, not at all!"

"I'm not asking for trouble, why would I provoke them? Can you check if Luohang Industry has a fleet of aircraft specifically for testing fighter jet performance?"

"A flight squadron, testing fighter jet performance?" Wen Yiren glanced at Xu Xian suspiciously, then immediately became alert and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"What can I do? I'm just curious, that's all." Xu Xian laughed. "Can you do me a favor? The more detailed the information, the better. Give me a call when you have a result. It's still the same number as before, you haven't deleted it, have you?"

Xu Xian and Wen Yiren have known each other for some time. Although they lost contact for a long time due to certain reasons, Wen Yiren should still have Xu Xian's number, as his number has never been changed.

"I didn't delete it, but... are you sure you didn't provoke Luohang Industries?" Wen Yiren pressed. "Is it simply a matter of wanting to investigate the flight fleet?"

"Yeah! What else?" Although Xu Xian still trusted Ye Qing, there was no harm in having Wen Yiren confirm it as well, since that place might be his new destination in the future.

Wen Yiren squinted: "You little rascal, weren't you thinking of flying a fighter jet? Your ambitions are getting wilder and wilder!"

Xu Xian laughed and said, "No matter how wild my heart is, it still can't compare to yours."

He patted Wen Yiren on the back and said, "I'm leaving this to you. Put your heart into it, I'm waiting for you!"

After explaining things to Wen Yiren, Xu Xian immediately made a hasty escape.

Seeing that Xu Xian was about to leave, Wen Yiren grabbed Xu Xian's sleeve and said, "I told you, you should just stay in civil aviation and cause trouble. It's not fair to go to military aviation and stir up trouble."

"It's just a few planes damaged, why are you so upset?" Xu Xian said, shaking off Wen Yiren's grasp with dissatisfaction. "Everyone says you, Wen Yiren, are indifferent to money, but I think that's all rumors. I've only damaged a few of your Wen family's planes and you're already complaining. Where is the slightest bit of your disdain for money?"

Wen Yiren's face darkened immediately: "Do you know how much an airplane costs? Do you think you can just buy it with waste paper? Fine, fine, go ahead and mess around with the military aviation industry. Our Wen family's resources can't withstand your recklessness."

"Stingy!" Xu Xian said, and ran off.

After Xu Xian left, the girl who had been with Wen Yiren came up to him and asked, "Yiren, who is this guy? They seem to be on very good terms."

This girl initially underestimated Xu Xian, thinking he was just a pretty face. But judging from the intimate way Xu Xian and Wen Yiren were putting their arms around each other, he must be someone important.

"What's up? Want to get to know each other?" Wen Yiren asked with a smile.

"I have some single girlfriends, you know? How about we hang out together?" the girl said with a smile. When it comes to this kind of great opportunity, her first thought is always her best friends.

Wen Yiren's smile gradually faded: "You mean you want to introduce a girl to my brother-in-law, right?"

It must be said that Ye Qing acted very quickly, or rather, Ye Qing was quite concerned about Xu Xian's matter. The very next day, he asked Xu Xian for his identity information. Since the bureau already had records of Xu Xian's detailed information and could retrieve it at any time, the process was indeed quite simple. In just one day, the application for the experience flight was approved. The flight was scheduled for five days later at the Luohang Industrial Flight Base in Rongfu. The approved aircraft type was a C16 fighter jet, and the flight time was from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, only two hours, and a seasoned pilot was required to accompany him.

Ye Qing was quick, and Wen Yiren wasn't far behind. Soon, Wen Yiren had gathered relevant information about Luoyang Aerospace Industry. The industry's flight base housed the current mainstream C-15, C-16, C-18, and the fourth-generation C-20. This information was publicly available and not classified. However, Wen Yiren certainly hadn't found out about some more secretive matters, such as Luoyang Aerospace Industry's latest C-42 model.

However, Xu Xian wasn't trying to find out about Luohang Industry's secrets. He just wanted to know if the Luohang Industry fleet that Ye Qing mentioned actually existed. Now that it's been proven that what Ye Qing said was true, he can naturally go and experience it without worry.

For well-known reasons, all fighter jet models mentioned in this article are fictional, but everyone should know their prototypes. I only made some minor modifications to certain existing fighter jet models to avoid touching on anything inappropriate.
