Ye Mi was full again. When she was strolling out of the restaurant, she saw He Xiaoning standing there alone, looking at the helipad outside the glass curtain wall. Ye Mi rolled his eyes and took out his cell phone, "Sister Xiaoning!"

He Xiaoning turned around and saw Ye Mi taking a photo of her. She smiled faintly, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to get a haircut like yours and take a picture to show the barber." She then stared at He Xiaoning's face with wide eyes, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you crying? You look so ugly."

He Xiaoning turned her face away in embarrassment. "No, it was windy outside and I squinted when I came here. I haven't rested well recently." She hurriedly covered up.

Ye Mi tilted his head and saw the kiss mark behind her ear, he giggled, "You must be very happy, Teacher Lin looks like a good man, I'm so envious." Ye Mi rolled his eyes and looked at the dome, he wished that the black-faced god in their family could be like Lin Pei.

He Xiaoning looked at Ye Mi's innocent and fascinated expression, which was a sincere yearning for happiness, but she chose the wrong person. In the eyes of others, she should be happy, with a husband who is a star pilot. Many people only see his sunny appearance and friendly smile, but the most terrifying thing about people is that sometimes they are inconsistent. Some things are like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, and you can only swallow the bitterness yourself.

"Sister Xiaoning, when you have time, please teach me how to put on makeup. I think you put it on beautifully, better than any of them."

He Xiaoning still smiled and nodded gently, "Is Xiao Mi in love, or has she found a man she likes?"

"No way?" Ye Mi denied it quickly, but the blush on her face still revealed her thoughts.

He Xiaoning smiled quietly. She reached out and gently lifted her face to take a look. "You have a good foundation. Your skin is delicate and white. Your facial features are very pretty, especially your big eyes. With a little bit of make-up, you will be a great beauty."

"Really?" Ye Mi had never heard anyone praise her as a beauty before, and she felt a little proud in her heart. She thought that one day she would be able to kill the black-faced god in her home in seconds.

Zhou Tongzhe watched Ye Mi come out of the restaurant, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye. He chased her out and saw her talking to the stewardess, "Ye Mi, Ye Mi!" He frowned. He saw that He Qingwen seemed to have known Ye Mi for a long time. He didn't understand this matter, and he felt upset. He didn't care whether she was talking to others, and dragged her away by the arm.

"What are you doing!" Ye Mi waved his hand away, "You are very rude. I am talking to someone."

"How do you know that guy named He?" he asked impatiently.

Ye Mi raised his eyebrows, looked at her sideways, and sneered, "Is it your business?"

"I'm telling you, the young masters of wealthy families like them are all playboys, so you better be careful."

"Zhou Tongzhe, tell me your own story!" Ye Mi crossed his arms and looked at him. He became happier and happier the more he looked at him.

Zhou Tongzhe also felt stupid. "Anyway, I'm doing this for your own good. He definitely has bad intentions towards you. But I will protect you, don't worry. If he pesters you, tell me."

"He's the boss, how dare you offend him?"

"Xiao Ye, I dare to do anything for you. Besides, at worst I will just quit working at Feiyang. Air China wanted to sign me at that time. Can't I make a contribution to socialism?" He moved closer to Ye Mi with a playful grin.

Ye Mi was not annoyed and stepped aside, "That's right, your family has dug so much socialist coal, you should also contribute to socialism." When she looked up at Zhou Tongzhe, she saw him looking out the window intently. She turned around and saw a Boeing 747 approaching the airport sideways. Ye Mi was surprised and looked back at him, "Crosswind?"

"It's still very big, 5m/s! Didn't you see that almost no planes landed on runway R today? It's too dangerous."

As the two talked, they watched intently as the rear landing gear of the plane landed almost close to the edge of the runway. The fuselage slid at a large slope, and the engine under the wing almost scraped the grass beside the runway. Ye Mi couldn't help but exclaimed, and saw the plane rebalance, the front landing gear touched the ground, creating a puff of smoke, and as it taxied, it corrected the angle and slowly slid towards the parking position.

Ye Mi exhaled and patted his chest, "I was scared to death."

"Tell me what you think!" A familiar voice sounded behind them. The two of them turned around at the same time. Qiao Yan stood behind them with his arms raised. He raised his chin towards the plane on the runway and said, "Do you see any problem?"

"A sideslip approach will inevitably produce a large slope. The Boeing 747 has external engines and long wings. In the case of strong crosswinds, this approach is very dangerous. A crab approach is more appropriate." Zhou Tongzhe looked at Qiao Yan and spoke in a serious tone, with a hint of pride on his face.

"But the crab approach also has great risks. It is a very difficult maneuver and the timing needs to be controlled very accurately. If the nose turns too early, the plane will be blown off the runway by the crosswind. If it turns too late, the landing gear of the plane will not be aligned with the runway when it touches the ground, which may cause damage or breakage, and in serious cases, the plane may crash. Even if you turn the nose at the right time, the plane will fly sideways with the wind for a short time after the crab angle is reduced, so that the landing gear will inevitably need to absorb a certain amount of lateral load. Have you thought about this?" Qiao Yan looked at Zhou Tongzhe and pointed out his problem without hesitation. After speaking, he still looked at him, as if waiting for him to refute him, but Zhou Tongzhe was a little depressed.

He was a little annoyed. This was a very basic theory, but he was only concerned with showing off in front of Ye Mi and did not consider it carefully.

"Ye Mi, tell me, if you were the captain, what would you do?" Qiao Yan turned his gaze to Ye Mi.

Miss Ye thought, "I will first consider applying to the tower to use runway 7l. There is a headwind there, so I don't have to worry about these problems. I can make a parallel approach and land normally."

This answer was beyond Qiao Yan's expectation, but it was indeed the safest method. Stupid people have stupid ways. He twitched his lips and said, "If the 7L runway is busy, you will have to keep turning in the sky." After saying that, he turned around and left. He couldn't blame them for anything. Landing in a strong crosswind was indeed too difficult for new students.

"Teacher Qiao, you haven't told me what to do yet!" Zhou Tongzhe chased after him, and Ye Mi followed him, "If it were you, what would you do?"

"First, do a crab approach, then switch to sideslip when the altitude and speed drop. Tongzhe is right. For aircraft with long wings or external engines, you really need to be very careful when sideslipping. Sidelipping will make passengers feel uncomfortable and increase the possibility of the aircraft entering a tailspin, so aircraft generally do not use sideslips during the entire descent process. For Boeing 747, as Tongzhe said, you can use crab approaches throughout the entire approach, because the aircraft's landing gear design can support a 45-degree crab angle, which is sufficient for pilots who are not too frustrated."

"Does that mean my answer just now was correct?"

"But why don't you remember the special design of the 747's landing gear? I remember I have already talked about this issue in class, so you are just guessing." After saying that, Qiao Yan ignored the two people and went to the elevator alone.

Ye Mi and Zhou Tongzhe stood there for a long while. Ye Mi curled his lips and said, "Tsk, what kind of character is this? When someone is right, you say that I was just guessing."

Zhou Tongzhe didn't say anything. He knew that he had not considered the problem of the landing gear and was indeed guessing.

"Let's go to the movies tonight. I have two tickets here. It's the premiere of a blockbuster." Zhou Tongzhe tried to persuade the two of them as they walked towards the elevator.

Ye Mi's eyes lit up. She had been planning to watch this movie for a long time. "Really? You can even get tickets?" Just as she was about to say excitedly, she saw Qiao Yan standing at the elevator door. He held the elevator door with his hand and looked at them. "Aren't you coming up?"

"Go, go!" Zhou Tongzhe said as he pulled Ye Mi's arm and ran in.

Ye Mi really wanted to go crazy. Looking at Qiao Yan's stiff back, she wanted to scratch him. Zhou Tongzhe was still asking beside her without knowing the consequences, "Are you going or not? Are you going or not? Are you going or not?"

Ye Mi made up her mind, "Only tonight? Are there any on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday nights?" She glanced at Qiao Yan in front of her, "My uncle is at home tonight. He won't let me date boys casually, so I have to go back to cook. He's on a business trip on Thursday, so I'm free."

Zhou Tongzhe got angry. "I said, what the hell is your uncle? I really fucked his uncle. Call him out tomorrow and I'll teach him a lesson and ask him if he knows what it means to respect other people's private lives."

Qiao Yan turned around, his face as dark as Bao Qingtian. He looked at the two of them for a while, said, "Be careful!" and turned away again.

Ye Mi couldn't help laughing, and the two of them stuck out their tongues at each other's faces.

"Well, I paid a lot for the ticket, so let's go watch it on Thursday night."

"Let's go on Friday. We can have a weekend off and watch All Night Long."

"Okay! But watching an all-night movie is boring. I'll take you to something exciting."

Qiao Yan's face was dark, and his whole body was stiff. He heard two people conspiring behind him, and then they laughed non-stop. He pursed his lips tightly and clenched his fists, "You little bitch, you are getting more and more courageous."

The elevator arrived with a beep. Qiao Yan got out of the elevator and turned to look at the two people behind him. "Student Ye, come to my office for a moment."

"Huh?" Ye Mi glared. Are you going to retaliate so soon? She followed behind Qiao Yan quietly, turned back and looked at Zhou Tongzhe sadly, as if they were saying goodbye forever.

There was no one in the office. The pilot's office was just a formality. When there was nothing to do, everyone was at home doing nothing. When there was something to do, they were in the sky. There was no need for an office.

Qiao Yan took out a bank card from his pocket and said, "Your wages and living expenses will be paid to this card in the future. Cancel the old one. It's inconvenient to transfer money from a different place."

Ye Mi looked down at the note and hesitated, "Actually, I have enough money. You just need to pay me wages, and don't give me living expenses." She always took his money like this, and always felt that he was taking care of her like an elder or a brother. She didn't want to, and she was also afraid that he would get used to it.

"Here, I promised your grandmother that I would take care of you. I swear on my flying career that I won't be careless." Qiao Yan smiled and stuffed the card into her hand.

Ye Mi's mood suddenly became extremely bad because of his smile. Did he really not care at all? She looked down at the card, "If I hadn't sworn with your dream, you would have ignored me by now. Can you give me some other reasons every time you give me money?" She was a little excited and her voice became a little sharp. After saying that, she pursed her lips and turned away from him.

Qiao Yan stood there in a daze. There were some things he didn't dare to guess or think about, but he was not entirely clear about them in his heart.
