Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Xu Cang slapped Li Rongxian on the shoulder and said speechlessly, "How are you sure I like this one?"

"Ah?" Li Rongxian was stunned at this moment. Although the arrangement this time was not perfect due to the rush of time, Li Rongxian also fully considered Xu Cang's possible preferences.

The one in front of me is of Chinese and Western mixed race. She has a hot figure like a foreign country, and at the same time, her face fits well with the relatively mainstream soft line aesthetics of East Asia. Reasonably, it should be the greatest common denominator of her preferences for men.

In fact, under normal circumstances, with Li Rongxian's professionalism, it is impossible to guess the preferences of people who need public relations.

But the time left for him is too little, so little that Li Rongxian can do such relatively unprofessional things.

Li Rongxian said in a low voice: "Mr. Xu, we are all people of status, this kind of thing is normal."

Li Rongxian thought that Xu Cang didn't dislike him, but just declined for the sake of face.

As a result, Xu Cang sneered and said: "Whoever is with you is us, don't get close to me."

"Xu..." Li Rongxian wanted to say something more here, but when he glanced at the door from the corner of his eye, he happened to find Qin Xin leaning against the door and casting his gaze at them expressionlessly.

Xu Cang also noticed Li Rongxian's gaze, and when he looked towards the door, the hairs all over his body exploded.Driven by a strong desire to survive, Xu Cang hugged Li Rongxian: "Hahaha, I said Brother Li, why did you come to see me and brought my sister here? Why bother, it's too much trouble."

In Li Rongxian's confused state, Xu Cang continued: "Okay, okay, I've seen it, let's go back!"

"No, I have something else to do."

"What's the matter?" Xu Cang turned his head and gave Li Rongxian a hard look, and hummed softly, "Get lost!"

Li Rongxian looked at Xu Cang, then at Qin Xin, and immediately came to his senses, with a look of panic on his face: "Okay, okay, I'm the one who was abrupt, it was I who was abrupt! Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to stay, he dragged the blond woman and ran out.

Sending a woman to Xu Cang, but being caught by Zhenggong, this is simply a disgrace to the public relations circle.

When Li Rongxian and the others left, Xu Cang showed a slightly embarrassed smile: "Why is this man so polite now? He brought his sister here for a visit, it's too polite."

"A half brother and sister, right?" Qin Xin rolled her eyes: "Xu Cang, if you want to make it up, can you make it up a little more logically?"

Xu Cang scratched his head embarrassingly: "This guy seems crazy to bring women here, I can't help it."

Qin Xin glanced at Xu Cang from the side, and asked unintentionally: "Which one do you not like just now, I am curious which one do you like?"

"The type I like?" Xu Cang thought for a while: "The height is 1.7 meters, with shoulder-length hair, dark brown eyes, high nose, and some baby fat."

"Okay, okay!" Qin Xin interrupted Xu Cang helplessly, just to report her ID card.

"Miss Qin, I'm still an upright gentleman, a very upright kind, hehe."

...

"A gentleman doesn't just talk about it." Qin Xin scanned the room and found that Xu Cang seemed to have packed it up, so she pointed to the door: "I have taken everything, let's go. You are discharged from the hospital today. take you back."

Xu Cang didn't care about Qin Xin, so he agreed naturally, thinking that it was his wife who knew how to love others.

"When are you going back to Jianchuan?"

"You have stayed in Qizhou for a few days, who will handle the affairs at the Erhai base?"

"Where did you live when you were in Qizhou? Did you eat comfortably?"

On the way out of the hospital, seeing Xu Cang's questions getting more and more outrageous, Qin Xin was about to remind Xu Cang, but suddenly she noticed a person in front of her, stopped her steps immediately, and nodded slightly: "Ju Chen."

"Huh?" Xu Cang was startled, and followed Qin Xin's gaze to look forward, unexpectedly standing in front of him was his master Chen Xiangdong.

Seeing Xu Cang, Chen Xiangdong walked over quickly, took a closer look, and said worriedly: "I heard you almost drowned?"

"Small accident, small accident!" Xu Cang wanted to sew Chen Xiangdong's mouth shut. Can such embarrassing things be said to the outside world?

Qin Xin said very caringly: "You guys talk, Xu Cang, I'll wait for you at the gate."

"En." Xu Cang nodded, and when Qin Xin walked away, the two found a nearby bench and sat down.

Chen Xiangdong got straight to the point and said, "I've read the record of your conversation yesterday. There's nothing major about it. It's just that there may be some debate on whether to make an emergency landing at a land airport or at sea."

Xu Cang didn't really care. Ditching at sea is not a suitable method for most pilots. It's normal for the bureau to have doubts.

However, in terms of results, it is an excellent ending that no one on the plane was injured or injured in such a predicament. I think the bureau will not embarrass itself.

"Do you want me to go to the bureau headquarters to make a statement?" Xu Cang asked back.

"You seem to be against the bureau?" Chen Xiangdong smiled and said, "So far, there is no need for you to go and make a statement in person. If there is such a trend, I will remind you."

"It's hard for me not to resist what happened recently." Xu Cang yawned: "There are many people in the bureau that I find annoying. They are still the headquarters of bureaucracy. People don't fight with officials. We can't afford to mess with it, and we can't hide it?"

Chen Xiangdong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How dare you say that!"

"Is there anything I dare not say? Isn't this incident caused by differences in ideas within the Bureau?"

Chen Xiangdong knew that Xu Cang had no taboos, so he was not surprised by the bureau's opinion: "However, as long as you carry out flight-related business on this land, you must accept the jurisdiction of the bureau. There is no way."

"So, I have to get rid of the bureau's jurisdiction over me." Xu Cang said seriously.

Originally, Xu Cang's idea was very simple, to make money to develop new medicines for his mother.Later, the goal is a bit more ambitious, and I want to do something within my capacity for domestic civil aviation.

But obviously even if Xu Cang's idea is good, there are still some people who want to add obstacles to Xu Cang's road or put some shackles on Xu Cang that he hates.

...

Xu Cang is not a sheep who is willing to accept anything, so he fights back to avoid similar things from happening again.

Chen Xiangdong shook his head: "Impossible, how can you get rid of the jurisdiction of the bureau. Even if foreign personnel want to engage in flight work here, they still have to accept the jurisdiction of the bureau."

"There is a way to avoid the authority's jurisdiction to the greatest extent." Xu Cang's eyes flashed with firm light: "I remember that ICAO will absorb a certain number of commissioners in even-numbered years. As long as I become a commissioner of ICAO, I will The commissioned area is located here, so that I can work here without being directly under the jurisdiction of the bureau.”

It is a bit similar to the appointed representative of each airline company. In terms of affiliation, he is the representative of the bureau in the airline company. The airline company cannot simply regard him as its own employee, so it usually does not have any influence on its actions. How much to intervene.

And once he became a commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization, in a strict sense, Xu Cang escaped from his direct jurisdiction.Xu Cang's flight work in the airline company is only for exercising his own supervision rights and necessary measures to maintain his flight experience. For the convenience of the bureau, he cannot be characterized as a pure airline pilot.

Even if you want to exercise jurisdiction over Xu Cang, you have to go through the International Civil Aviation Organization first, and the process alone is very troublesome.

"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"

"Do you still know about the Commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization?" Chen Xiangdong was very surprised that Xu Cang knew about such a relatively secret matter.

Xu Cang said casually, "I'm a member of ICAO. Is it unimaginable to absorb fresh blood from within the members?"

"But." Xu Cang's argument was really not convincing, but Chen Xiangdong didn't ask too much, anyway, he was his apprentice, and he didn't do anything like murder and arson, so let's go.Chen Xiangdong thought for a while: "However, in the history of our bureau, there is no precedent for recommending non-pilot position personnel."

Xu Cang smiled and said, "That means I'm not here, I'm here, I already have it. Master, do you think this is feasible?"

"If you want to become a commissioner of the International Civil Aviation Organization, you will definitely have a lot of freedom." Chen Xiangdong is really thinking about this issue seriously, but after thinking about it, he still finds it a bit difficult: "The main reason for the ICAO to recruit new commissioners It relies on the recommendation system, but this title is still very popular, and it is a bit difficult for you to get a recommendation from the bureau."

What Xu Cang said just now is quite correct. There are naturally a lot of conflicts of interest among the bureau, and he said that the position of ICAO commissioner should be very popular. I am afraid that many people are staring at it.

In fact, Xu Cang has nothing to do with the bureau, only his master Chen Xiangdong, and the rest is the chief pilot's residence Qingquan.But the two of them can't cover the sky with one hand, how can they protect Xu Cang?
Therefore, it is reasonable for Chen Xiangdong to be pessimistic about Xu Cang's thoughts.

However, Xu Cang had already made arrangements!
"Master, I heard that the directors, chief pilots, chief engineers, and meritorious pilots over the years decide who to recommend. If there are meritorious pilots in their early twenties who are willing to help me, it will be possible. Is it possible?"

"More than 20 meritorious pilots?" Chen Xiangdong couldn't understand his apprentice more and more: "Where can you find support from more than 20 meritorious pilots?"

...

Domestic meritorious pilots are not Chinese cabbages. Now there are only more than 150 domestically, and they are distributed in various domestic airlines. How can such a large network of people get the support of more than [-] meritorious pilots at the same time?
"No!" Chen Xiangdong thought about it, this number seemed a bit strange, and he turned to Xu Cang in disbelief: "You are not talking about the more than 20 meritorious pilots who are going to sue you this time, are you?"

Xu Cang didn't hide it at all: "There is always a price to pay for doing something wrong."

In fact, meritorious pilots are also eligible to participate in discussions with ICAO commissioners.Under normal circumstances, a meritorious pilot can only participate in a maximum of two related discussions.

Who they support has a lot of interests involved.But just because of 9451, they have to waste their qualification once, which is quite serious.

"Xu Cang, I have something to ask you." Chen Xiangdong suddenly asked seriously: "We got the black box yesterday, and the flight data recorder in it was working normally, but the data in the cabin sound recorder was gone. Do you know what's going on?"

Although the Airbus 320 has sunk into the sea, it will take a long time to salvage it as a whole, but if you only take out the black box, the difficulty is not high.

Just yesterday, after all the people on board were evacuated, the bureau arranged for divers to go into the sea and take out the black box alone.As soon as the black box was taken out, it was sent to Hanking for analysis on the same day.

The protection of the black box is extremely solid, and usually it will not be affected.However, there is no problem with the FDR that records the flight data, but the CVR that can record the cabin sound does not have any data, which makes the bureau investigators completely puzzled.

In fact, a discerning person can basically guess that even if there is a problem with the black box, it shouldn't be that the flight data recorder is fine but the cabin sound record is gone.Therefore, there is a relatively high possibility that it was deleted artificially.

Whether it is Airbus or Boeing, there is a button to manually delete cabin sound records in many models.However, under normal circumstances, airlines do not allow crew members to delete cabin sound recordings intentionally.Therefore, the button to delete the cabin sound is almost forgotten by many people.

Xu Cang smiled brighter: "Master, there are a lot of problems with that broken plane, who knows if the malfunction has spread to the CVR?"

Xu Cang naturally did not admit it, but to Chen Xiangdong who knew Xu Cang well, Xu Cang's reaction basically showed everything.Although he didn't know why Xu Cang did this, he still urged him earnestly: "What's wrong with deleting the cabin sound, if there are traces left, it will be a big trouble."

Facing the master's questioning, Xu Cang did not beat around the bush any more, but curled his lips: "It's not a big deal, some things have been heard by others, and everyone's face is shamed, so let's forget it."

Chen Xiangdong couldn't laugh or cry: "You are really courageous."

"If I'm timid, then master, you probably have to burn incense for me now." Xu Cang urged Chen Xiangdong: "Master, you haven't said if it's possible!"

Chen Xiangdong did not talk about the sound in the cabin, but analyzed Xu Cang's problem: "The support of more than 20 meritorious pilots is very strong, but it is not stable. After all, in terms of the results of the discussion, the directors of each department and the chief pilot , the weight of the chief engineer is greater. My position is not to participate in the discussion. Among the directors of various departments, I have a good relationship, but when encountering this kind of thing, it involves a lot. Calculated in this way, it is estimated that the Department of Policy and Regulations and the Department of Aviation Safety can talk. Di Qingquan and I have a good relationship, and I know you, so maybe we can fight for it. Let alone the chief engineer. Since I joined the bureau, I have never seen more than twice."

...

"Then, speaking of it, the Department of Policy and Regulations and the Department of Aviation Safety are somewhat sure, and the chief pilot can fight for it. In this case, are you sure?" Xu Cang pondered that he had made great efforts at Yulong Airport, and the chief pilot did not participate in the discussion. It should not be very difficult to get Di Qingquan to support him once.

Chen Xiangdong thought about it: "If we win the support of the first division, things will be much easier. But the rest... are not easy to handle."

"Master, which division do you think is more likely to win?" You still have to listen to the opinions of your own master, an insider, for this kind of matter.

"If you really want to talk about it, the director of the Development and Planning Department is a relatively independent existence. Relatively speaking, it is easier to fight for it. It's just that I don't deal with that one, and I can't help it."

"Development Planning Department?" Xu Cang showed a thoughtful expression.

When Chen Xiangdong saw Xu Cang's appearance, he immediately reminded him: "I heard that the director is very clean, and he only wants to do some great things for the country and the people, don't try to use some shady tricks."

Xu Cang said speechlessly: "I don't have the money to engage in those shady methods."

Chen Xiangdong snorted: "It's good to know."

He knew that his apprentice was brave enough to break the sky. To achieve his goal, there was no taboo. Who knew what would happen, so he had to be reminded in advance.

Xu Cang kept this matter in mind, and asked again: "Then master, what about the airworthiness certificate of the Airbus 320?"

"What else can I say? The engine explosion doesn't look like an accident. Before the investigation results, the airworthiness certificate must be suspended. However, this is a big matter, and I will discuss it with the representatives sent by Airbus. a bit."

After all, there are still many airlines in China that have Airbus 320s. If the airworthiness certificate is suspended, these aircrafts will have to be grounded. How to deal with the resulting losses needs to be discussed in advance.

"So the grounding is definitely going to be grounded?"

Chen Xiangdong nodded: "That's right, there are such big unknown hidden dangers, we should always be responsible for the safety of people's lives. It's just that some issues have been refined in advance."

Xu Cang was not very surprised by this result, but he was very concerned about another matter: "Master, I remember that Rongcheng Airlines is an all-Airbus fleet, right?"

After finishing the conversation with Chen Xiangdong, Chen Xiangdong originally planned to go home with Xu Cang, but seeing Qin Xin was there, he wisely did not go with him.

Qin Xin and Xu Cang took a taxi to Longcheng Community, they went upstairs, but when they arrived at the door, they found Shi Qi and Shi Lingling waiting at the door.

"Teacher Shi?" Xu Cang stepped forward and opened the door first, and invited Shi Qi and Shi Lingling into the room.Of course, speaking from the original intention, Xu Cang didn't want Shi Lingling to come in because of the late shift, but he didn't want to make the scene too ugly even if Shi Qi was present.

Shi Qi went into the room, looked at Qin Xin who was helping Xu Cang clean the house, and said with a smile: "Xu Cang, I didn't expect you to have a family at such a young age."

Shi Lingling, on the other hand, looked at Qin Xin more carefully. She had a lot of acquaintances, and felt that Qin Xin looked familiar, but she couldn't match her for a while.

...

"Hahaha!" Speaking of this, it was much better than flattering Xu Cang a thousand words, Xu Cang puffed out his chest, feeling very refreshed.

Seeing Xu Cang so happy, Shi Qi felt that the atmosphere was good, so he cut to the point: "Xu Cang, I came here this time to apologize to you."

"Apologize to me?" Xu Cang said while pouring water for Shi Qi: "Teacher, why are you apologizing to me?"

Shi Qi pointed to Shi Lingling who had been silent all this time: "Lingling did some thoughtless things some time ago and caused you trouble. As a father, I have to apologize to you."

"Teacher, do you have to be replaced by someone else to apologize these days?" Xu Cang said disdainfully.

"I don't need my dad to replace me. He thinks I can't save face and insists on following me." Shi Lingling lowered her head: "Xu Cang, what happened before was my fault. I apologize to you."

After finishing speaking, Shi Lingling got up and bowed to Xu Cang.

If Shi Lingling and Xu Cang were alone at this moment without Shi Qi, then Xu Cang would not accept it, but would mock him instead.Xu Cang is not a great saint, if someone else apologizes, he must accept it.

However, Teacher Shi Qi has a good character, and he lived and died together on flight 9451, so he always has to show some face.In the end, he had to wave his hand: "Just don't let me see you again."

Anyway, after the incident of 9451, the matter of Shanghai Hanjing collectively suing Xu Cang was over, and that was the end of what Shi Lingling had done before.

Seeing that Xu Cang let the past go, Shi Lingling came to life immediately, and asked: "Xu Cang, what are your plans for the future?"

"I said, can you stop pretending that I know you very well." Xu Cang said disgustedly, but he still raised his mouth: "I plan to discuss it with Guoda Airlines later, so that they don't get stuck in the flow of my work relationship. gone."

"You want to leave Shandong Airlines?" Shi Lingling asked in surprise.

Xu Cang was helpless: "I was originally on short-term secondment, isn't it normal to leave?"

"Then where are you going, back to Lan Tian?"

"Tsk!" Xu Cang tsk tsk, he felt that Shi Lingling asked too much, and his relationship with her seems not so close, right?

Seeing that Xu Cang didn't want to answer, Shi Qi asked with a smile: "Xu Cang, I also want to know."

"This." Teacher Shi asked, and Xu Cang couldn't hide it anymore, anyway, there was nothing worth hiding: "Teacher, there will be a new airline company in Erhai soon, and I should go there."

"Erhai's airline company? Why haven't I heard of it?" Shi Lingling thought for a while, but didn't expect any news about Erhai's plan to build an airline company.

"It hasn't been listed yet, and the manpower is very short. It's still moving."

Shi Lingling asked: "Is it your airline?"

Xu Cang thought for a while: "You can also say that."

Now Shi Lingling's eyes lit up: "Then how about I help you manage the marketing department?"

"what?"

As soon as this proposal came out, Xu Cang almost jumped up.His first thought was to deny it, but after thinking about it, this was really a brilliant move.

What is the marketing department in charge of? One is to buy tickets, which is the sales strategy.Many experienced people can do this.Another thing is to coordinate the interest relationship with other airlines and bureaus, which is not something ordinary people can do.

...

Although Shi Lingling hates this person, she has been interviewing high-level executives of major airlines in an official capacity for a long time, and she has experience in bureaucracy, so she is simply an excellent candidate to coordinate the relationship between all parties.If Shi Lingling were to be the manager of the marketing department, it would be impossible to find him with a lantern.

"We are all small companies, but how high are the salaries?" Xu Cang said pretendingly, but he was so happy in his heart: "Also, if you join our company, you have to give up your job at the bureau. To understand."

According to the regulations, it is not allowed to work in a company, especially a private company, while holding a public office.

"I know this. I also want to see what you can develop in the future based on your philosophy." Shi Lingling said seriously: "As for the salary, you can just give it as you see it. I don't care much."

Shi Lingling herself is not short of money, she simply wants to see how high Xu Cang's future will be.

On the sea dam yesterday, Xu Cang's heroic words declaring that he would bear the burden of an era were still in his ears, and Shi Lingling couldn't get rid of it.

She knew that Xu Cang was very powerful, but when she saw it with her own eyes, Shi Lingling's heart trembled when he completed the turn with that incredible arc.

"I'll see." Xu Cang hummed, and didn't say yes or no.

But when Xu Cang finished speaking, Shi Qi followed up and said, "Xu Cang, do you still lack a captain?"

Xu Cang was stunned: "Teacher, what do you mean, don't you want to come over too?"

"The Erhai Lake is too far away. If Lingling passes by, I will definitely go there too." Shi Qi said.

"But instructor, you are from Airbus. If you transfer to Boeing, your flight experience will not be recognized."

Now Xu Cang only intends to operate Boeing aircraft in the new airline company. If Shi Qi wants to fly Boeing, even if he is the highest-level instructor, he has to start all over again.Asking Shi Qi to come over to be a Boeing trainee, Xu Cang couldn't accept it no matter what.

However, Shi Qi smiled and said: "Xu Cang, you don't know something. I am not from Airbus, I flew Boeing at first. I hired the captain on the Boeing model, and then transferred to Airbus. If I switch back to Boeing, although I won’t be able to retain my instructor qualifications, I can still serve as a single-pilot captain.”

"But it's a pity to drop from a C-category instructor to a single-pilot commander all of a sudden."

Shi Qi didn't care: "It would be nice to have a captain, Feifei. I'm old, and I still care about these things? If you don't mind, I can talk to Air China. It's my turn very early. I'll make an application, and the flight department won't make it difficult."

Although it is more difficult for domestic pilots to change jobs, it is not necessary to go to court.For some large companies, a small part of the normal job-hopping qualifications will be released in rotation every year.

As long as it is your turn, if you report to the company, the company will not embarrass you, and you can switch companies normally.Shi Qi obtained relevant qualifications a long time ago, but he was too lazy to change places, so it is really useful now.

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, how dare you dislike it!" Xu Cang said hastily: "The resources of Singapore Airlines' driver crew are inherently insufficient, so it would be great if you could come here, teacher."

With Xu Cang's calculations like this, it would be quite rewarding to come to Shanhang by himself.Like the ground instructor Xiantong who had an agreement before, plus Shi Lingling, Shi Qi, Wu Taiming and others who can fight for it later, they basically already have the framework of the company.

Just when Xu Cang was about to say something, his cell phone rang suddenly. He didn't recognize the number, but he still connected.

As soon as the call was connected, an old voice came from the other side: "Xu Cang, it's me, Chen Jinwu!"

"Mr. Chen!" Upon hearing Mr. Chen's voice, Xu Cang quickly signaled to Shi Qi, and ran to another room to answer the phone by himself: "Mr. Chen, have you arrived in Shanghai?"

"Yeah, yeah, I just settled down." Chen Jinwu said with a smile: "It's just that as soon as I settled down, I heard that my little friend did another earth-shattering event."

Xu Cang was not surprised at the speed at which Chen Jinwu got the news of 9451. He smiled and said, "I almost met Hades, what's so earth-shattering?"

"My little friend is such a god-man, I'm afraid the King of Hades won't accept him." Chen Jinwu smiled even more: "I have nothing to do, I found your phone number with someone else, and I heard your voice is very energetic, so I am relieved .”

Xu Cang's heart warmed, he didn't expect Mr. Chen to care about him so much.

Just when Chen Jinwu was about to hang up the phone, Xu Cang suddenly remembered something: "Old Chen, I want to ask you something. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer."

Chen Jinwu also became interested: "It's mysterious, tell me about it."

"Mr. Chen!" Xu Cang considered his words a little bit: "That's right. Does AVIC intend to build an Airbus assembly plant in Jinmen?"
