The morning class ended quickly, and there were no classes in the afternoon according to the schedule, but the new students had to go to the office to attend classes.
"Finally, I have two questions to talk about. The first one is a question that everyone may find unreasonable, which is the love issue of pilots. Considering the special nature of our profession, although the company will not interfere with your love, if you are in love or encounter any family problems in the future, you need to report to the company. The company will consider your situation and decide whether to give you a vacation or arrange psychological counseling. The second question is that I need a liaison officer and an attendant to help me deal with some daily problems. Is student Zhou willing to do it?" Qiao Yan directly pointed to Zhou Tongzhe without waiting for everyone to nominate.
Ye Mi straightened her neck and stared at Qiao Yan. Could he be taking advantage of this opportunity to take revenge? She immediately turned around and tried to wink at Student Zhou, but a clear "I do" had already entered her ears.
Ye Mi bit her lip with a hateful look, "I'm looking for trouble with you. Are you willing? Do you think you're getting married?" She muttered softly.
"Student Ye has any objections?"
Ye Mi pursed her lips and quickly lowered her head. She didn't dare to say anything even if she had any opinions.
"Then Zhou Tongzhe, come with me to pick up everyone's summer clothes. The other students can go eat now."
Qiao Yan and Zhou Tongzhe went out, and the four of them stretched their bodies. "Who do you think is better, Teacher Qiao's class or Teacher Lin's?"
"Teacher Joe!"
"Teacher Lin!"
Everyone thought Qiao Yan was good, but Ye Mi was the only one who sneered, "Teacher Lin is so relaxed in class, always smiling, but Qiao Yan is like someone owes him money."
"But his classes have a lot of content, and Teacher Lin still feels that they are a bit flashy and superficial."
Ye Mi gave him a disdainful look, but she still agreed in her heart. She put away her briefcase and said, "Brothers, I will not live with you guys from tonight. My uncle is really worried about my character and is afraid that I will pounce on you guys in the middle of the night, so he forced me to live with him."
"Ah! No way, let's go talk to the uncle. We are not afraid of being caught. We would love it." Wei Ge rushed over, "The company won't allow it. Teacher Qiao hates being free and undisciplined the most."
Ye Mi rolled her eyes at her and said, "He agreed." It was his bad habit. Her life would be miserable now, with people watching her every day.
As she thought about it, she grinned. It was not bad at all, she could see him anytime.
While eating, Ye Mi carried a plate and filled it up again. She glanced around the restaurant and it seemed that there were a lot of people today and there were no empty seats. She carried the plate around to the row by the window and saw He Xiaoning eating there. She walked a few steps quickly and sat down opposite her. "You don't mind, do you? I love eating with beautiful women the most, hehe."
When He Xiaoning looked up, he saw a smiling face. It was plain, fresh and natural. That smile seemed to be able to infect people with happiness.
She also smiled, "Ye Mi?!"
"You still remember me!" She smiled so much that her eyes curved like crescent moons.
He Xiaoning also smiled, very quietly, "The whole company knows you. You are the first female pilot trained by Feiyang."
Ye Mi's mouth was full of rice. He covered his mouth with his hands and laughed, "Haha, hey, I just have long hair. If I cut it, I can pretend to be a male pilot."
"Who said that? It's too hurtful to girls." He Xiaoning felt a little unfair for Ye Mi. She was obviously a very beautiful girl.
Ye Mi didn't care. "Haha, Qiao Yan... uh, Teacher Qiao said so." She almost said the wrong thing, smiled awkwardly, and quickly stuffed another big spoonful of rice.
He Xiaoning's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, but she still forced a smile, "Captain Qiao is too unkind, but he always hits girls without mercy, just don't take it to heart, he is just mean and poisonous."
"That's right, sister is right." She put down the spoon and moved closer. "You don't mind me calling you that, do you?"
"I'm 28, how old are you?"
"I'm 24. It's okay to call me sister."
The two were chatting happily, and Bai Tingting came over with a plate in her hand, "Ye Mi, Sister Xiaoning, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing to talk about!" Seeing her, Ye Mi's mood plummeted. He didn't know why, but he was in a bad mood.
"Are you free this afternoon? I heard you don't have classes this afternoon. I'll teach you how to put on makeup."
"No, I have to be in work this afternoon." Even if she wanted to learn from her, she would rather learn from the mistress. She looked at He Xiaoning opposite her. Her makeup was so beautiful, it looked as if she had no makeup on. She would shamelessly learn from her tomorrow.
As if she felt Ye Mi's gaze, He Xiaoning raised her head and said, "Girls should learn how to put on makeup. It will make them look prettier and men will like them too." Then she cleared the plates and said, "I'm done eating." She still smoothed her hair on her forehead and smiled at Ye Mi.
Ye Mi held the spoon and stared at it blankly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really beautiful.
Qiao Yan and Zhou Tongzhe, each carrying a pile of uniforms, walked through the airport lobby toward the comprehensive building, and ran into Guan Enping, who had just come over from the restaurant after lunch.
"Qiao Yan!"
Qiao Yan narrowed his eyes and stopped. He was going to pretend he didn't see it. "Vice President Guan."
"Don't be so polite to me. My aunt's birthday is next Tuesday. Don't be angry with your family. Your parents love you very much and always call to ask about you." Guan Enping did not lie. Qiao Yan would not go home to explain his work. It would be fine if he did not talk to his father for more than ten sentences. Once that exceeded, there would be a quarrel.
Qiao Yan nodded, "I understand. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Then he left without waiting for Guan Enping's response, leaving Deputy General Manager Guan standing there with a confused and dissatisfied look on his face.
Zhou Tongzhe was confused and quickly chased after him, "Is that airport manager pursuing you?"
Qiao Yan smiled faintly, "Then let me ask you, are you in love with Ye Mi?" He just happened to have a chance to find out the truth. Although he also felt that he was very boring, he had wanted to ask several times along the way. He wanted to know.
Zhou Tongzhe smiled proudly, "Not yet, but I think it's almost the same. At least she didn't reject me."
Qiao Yan stopped abruptly and looked back at him, "She agreed?"
"Not really. I wanted to kiss her, but she refused." At this point, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. "You didn't see, I kissed her, and she actually squatted down to hide. At that time, well, you know, she must have seen my beastly side." Qiao Yan could hear the annoyance in his words, and could feel his sincerity. He had a vague sense of crisis.
"She may not understand." He said casually.
Zhou Tongzhe sneered, "Teacher Qiao, you underestimate her too much. Don't just look at the surface. She is 24, an adult. She has seen all the movies that the five of us have seen. Modern women are much more open-minded than we think. I don't believe you didn't do that with the flight attendant." As he said that, he gave him a very ambiguous look.
Qiao Yan smiled, but his face darkened. It seemed like a wise decision to let Ye Mi move back. Living in the boys' dormitory, she would definitely not learn anything good.
"Why do you like her? I think she's silly and her grades are average. Besides, it's very hard for a couple to have sex. You may not see each other once a week. Every day you fly south and she flies north. There's no one to take care of the children and the elderly."
"She's not stupid, she's very clear-headed, she's just very simple and kind, I really like her stupidity. What's the big deal about flying north and south? A short separation is better than a new marriage, passion is everywhere, haha, I'll be your friend after class, teacher Qiao, don't laugh at me." After saying that, he laughed to himself again, Qiao Yan looked at him and thought that his smile was the same as Ye Mi's, a little silly, he quickly turned his face away, thinking that smile was a little dazzling. He took a few quick steps, but was stopped by Zhou Tongzhe.
"Teacher Qiao, I know you are a rising star, but I am now officially challenging you. I want to surpass you in all aspects. I hope you don't mind or take it lightly. I will not show mercy. Ye Mi said I am better than you, so give me a chance."
Qiao Yan stood there, looking back at the youthful young man. Although the age difference was not big, he felt as if he had entered old age. His life was lifeless, and the little fun he had was because of the woman's stupidity, her simplicity and kindness. Now there was another man who knew how to appreciate him, as if his territory was invaded. Qiao Yan smiled with some disdain, "But you know, there are some things you may not have the chance to surpass me. For example, I may become the youngest captain and instructor of Feiyang. We are two years apart, and you can't catch up."
"Yes, I took the flying test after graduating from college, so I can't compare the time it takes you to take the aviation school directly after graduating from high school, but I also have a bachelor's degree in architecture."
Qiao Yan suddenly became interested. He bit his lip and looked at him, really competing with himself. "Actually, I have a double master's degree in finance and management. When I was young, I also followed the Red Hacker Organization. The teacher is very good at studying. I think we should not compete on this."
Student Zhou looked at him in amazement and thought for a moment, "Then I will compete with you in flying skills."
Qiao Yan nodded, "I welcome your challenge. It is a success for me to surpass the teacher. I hope you can surpass me."
"Qiao Yan, I admire men like you in my life."
Qiao Yan smiled, and suddenly the scene from three years ago flashed before his eyes. He and Lin Pei high-fived and swore to be brothers for life.
Life is too long and nothing can be guaranteed.
Their friendship seemed to have been dead in name only when He Xiaoning made his choice. He didn't understand, and still doesn't understand, how love and friendship could have died collectively overnight.
