Legendary Captain

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's almost winter." Xu Xian really disliked Su Qiye's overreacting personality. He and Su Yalin, the brother and sister, didn't look very alike, but their personalities were cut from the same mold. They both acted all proper in front of strangers, but let loose and be themselves in front of acquaintances.

"Regardless of whether it's winter outside or not, even in Siberia, there's no doubt that spring has arrived in our Xian'er's heart." Su Qiye shamelessly leaned closer to Xu Xian, his face bearing a knowing smile.

"Who is it? Introduce them, let me see who can compare to my Yalin." Su Qiye nudged Xu Xian's shoulder, acting like they were best buddies.

Xu Xian nudged Su Qiye away with his elbow, clearly disgusted: "Don't get so close... it's making me feel uncomfortable."

Suddenly, Su Qiye sensed something and blurted out, "Could it be a flight attendant?"

"Huh?" Xu Xian was startled, but then his expression turned indifferent again.

"Aha! I knew it!" Su Qiye seemed to have discovered something amusing, looking Xu Xian up and down in his uniform: "You weren't using work time to pick up girls, were you? Seriously!"

Su Qiye became more and more excited as he spoke, his expression practically beaming: "Flight attendants...tsk tsk tsk, so our Brother Xian likes uniforms! Ah, men are all the same!"

Seeing only Su Qiye's lewd smile, Xu Xian sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile, "I mean... do you believe in love at first sight? Isn't that a bit too fantastical? How could you possibly fall in love with someone at first glance?"

"What's so magical about it? It's not like we're actually dating; it's just a feeling, which doesn't prove anything." Su Qiye held the opposite opinion from Xu Xian: "Besides, many beautiful women have fallen in love with me at first sight, and there's factual evidence to prove that."

"Facts to prove it?" Xu Xian sneered. "I bet those beautiful women fell in love with your money at first sight!"

Su Qiye was filled with rage: "This is the second time today you've insulted my character!"

"It's not an insult, just stating the facts," Xu Xian said expressionlessly.

Su Qiye was hit with another blow: "This is the third time!"

"So what? You're not that much more sophisticated than me, so why don't you consider my Ya Lin? My Ya Lin is quite beautiful too!" Su Qiye was trying to sell Su Ya Lin to Xu Xian again, as if he wouldn't give up until he sold his sister.

Xu Xian sighed, "Well, Su Yalin has to be a woman, right? Is she a woman? Do you think she's a woman?"

This thought-provoking question left Su Qiye speechless, and in the end, he could only let out a deep sigh: "Yes! Brother, you've really suffered."

"If I find another brother-in-law, I won't be suffering anymore," Xu Xiancheng thought to himself.

Su Qiye was about to say something when suddenly, there was a knocking sound on the car window. The two were instantly drawn to it, only to see that Su Yalin was already standing outside the car, staring wide-eyed into it.

"What are you plotting? Come out!" Su Yalin knocked on the car window again.

Xu Xian and Su Qiye reluctantly got out of the car. The two stood side by side, behaving obediently, while Su Yalin scolded them like primary school students.

"What did you just say? I think I heard my name?" Su Yalin's gaze shifted back and forth between Xu Xian and Su Qiye's faces. She had a feeling that the two of them were plotting something shady.

Su Qiye gave an awkward smile: "Yalin, you're being too sensitive. Your brother was talking to Xu Xian about some serious business, he wasn't talking about you. Right, Brother Xian?"

"Yes!" Xu Xian laughed, "We only talked about some sales matters, we didn't really mention you."

"Really?" Su Yalin looked at the two of them with some suspicion, as if things were not as simple as Xu Xian had said.

"By the way, I heard from Lin Chen that the houses here are going to be sold. What are you going to do?" Su Yalin asked Xu Xian.

The house in the garage where Xu Xian is located now belongs to Lin Guangrong, and Lin Chen is Lin Guangrong's only son.

"What can I do? Go find a new place to live, or sleep on the streets?" Xu Xian thought of his sad memories again and became agitated.

Su Yalin: "The key question is, do you have money?"

This question hit Xu Xian right where it hurt, making him extremely uncomfortable: "Can't you really lend me some money?"

"Didn't I say it wouldn't work? If my dad finds out, he'll really beat me to death." Su Qiye chimed in with that.

Although they didn't know why, Su Qiye and Su Yalin's father had clearly stated that they were not allowed to provide any financial assistance to Xu Xian. Otherwise, they would be severely punished! The siblings knew that their father always kept his word.

Su Yalin had previously told Xu Xian about her father's attitude, so Xu Xian wasn't too surprised.

"I just don't know if Miss Yalin feels empty, lonely, or cold. I can accompany you to the movies, just like before, the price is negotiable." Xu Xian started to use any means necessary for money: "This doesn't count as providing financial assistance, does it? I put in the work and get paid, it's a fair trade, right?"

Even his best friend Su Qiye couldn't stand it anymore, his lips twitching as he said, "Xu Xian, let's not do this, it's embarrassing."

Su Yalin laughed and said, "My dad didn't interfere last time, but if I keep testing his limits, we won't even have a chance to be friends anymore."

"However... it's okay for friends to treat each other to a meal. Want to experience what it's like to eat and drink for free?" Su Yalin said.

Xu Xian was overjoyed: "Saving the cost of a meal is fine too, so why don't you hurry up?"

Xu Xian pushed Su Qiye and Su Yalin into the car; getting a free meal was always a good thing. Wang Zimo, however, remained completely invisible, as if he were invisible to the three of them.

Tianyan Magazine, Editor-in-Chief's Office.

Twenty years later, Ye Jing, who was once an ordinary reporter, has risen to become the editor-in-chief of Tianyan Magazine. Now, firmly seated in the position of editor-in-chief, she exudes considerable power.

Ye Jing was being briefed by her assistant on some recent important matters. As they talked, the topic gradually shifted to the upcoming airline exchange meeting.

"An airline exchange meeting? Can't you just send anyone?" Ye Jing asked, somewhat puzzled. Was it really necessary to explain something of this level, an airline exchange meeting, to her in such detail?

The assistant said, "According to Kunlong Airlines, Han Qi seems to be preparing to attend this airline exchange meeting!"

"Han Qi!" Ye Jing exclaimed in surprise, "Is the news confirmed?"

"I'm very confident! If there are no unforeseen circumstances, this should be the arrangement," the assistant confirmed.

"Han Qi, Han Qi!" Ye Jing tapped her fingers on the table, then suddenly said, "Draft a new interview plan for the airline exchange meeting. Go and verify the credibility of the information again. If it's true, I'll handle it this time!"

"Mr. Ye, did you come in person? Was it necessary?" the assistant asked in surprise. Ye Jing hadn't gone out for interviews in a long time.

"Of course it's necessary! He's Han Qi!" Ye Jing said, but her assistant didn't hear her next sentence.

"That's Han Qi, who dominated the scene for twenty years after Xu Qing!"
