Ye Mi was reluctant to leave the plane, and she was absent-minded when checking the plane. The captain looked at her and smiled, "Are you feeling bad because you missed your husband?"
Ye Mi blushed slightly, and did not argue. Flying with Qiao Yan was a normal teaching arrangement, and Qiao Yan's flying mission was his job. Since they chose such a job, they needed to bear the pain of missing each other and accept such a lifestyle.
It was the second day that Qiao Yan landed in this city. After the review meeting, he calculated the time and called Ye Mi immediately, but the hazy voice on the other end of the phone made him feel distressed, "Are you sleeping?"
Ye Mi hummed, "Honey, I don't know how to deal with jet lag. It's so uncomfortable." She acted coquettishly.
Qiao Yan didn't know how to comfort her, but he felt a little angry. All the students were flying domestic routes, and only Ye Mi was arranged to fly international routes. He suppressed his dissatisfaction, told Ye Mi a few interesting things about this flight, hung up the phone, and then went straight to the captain's office.
He pushed the door open and saw Lin Pei inside. Before he could say anything, he heard the captain talking.
"Qiao Yan, I was just looking for you. Our company is not planning to send five students on this visit. They have had too many problems recently and their skills are not strong enough. Don't embarrass Feiyang. This is our 30th anniversary program and we can't mess it up."
Qiao Yan's brows were tightly knitted together, and his expression turned ugly. He glanced at Lin Pei who was sitting on the side. He was sitting with his legs crossed, looking indifferent.
Qiao Yan was furious for a moment. "I don't know what you are talking about, Captain. I think the new students haven't had any problems during this period. Zhou Tongzhe was brave and courageous, and now there are no adverse consequences. Sun Jian's matter has been resolved well with the company. As for my relationship with Ye Mi, that is simply our personal privacy and has nothing to do with the company. I have taken the initiative to resign from the position of instructor. In addition, I think it is very irresponsible to say that there are problems with the skills of this group of students. If the company has concerns about this, then I can guarantee it. In addition, they can undergo simulator inspections."
The captain looked at Lin Pei, not knowing what to say for a moment. He cleared his throat and said, "There have been so many things going on recently. We have to arrange the assessment of the backup captain candidates. Besides, the final number of candidates has not been finalized yet. It is really difficult to choose one person. How can we have so much time to assess them? Besides, the exchange delegation will leave next week."
Qiao Yan's heart skipped a beat. The exchange delegation was going to leave next week, but he hadn't received any notice. It wasn't that he was arrogant. He felt that he was still qualified for a place as a representative of outstanding pilots. As for the captain candidate, the captain seemed to have some hidden meaning in his words. He seemed to understand that perhaps this hurdle was set for him.
Qiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, pursed his lips, and frowned slightly. He couldn't help it. He had been spoiled since he was born. He had been a leader since he could remember things. No matter in which field, all the honors were what he didn't want, but there was nothing he couldn't get.
He gritted his teeth and said, "This is my opinion, the leaders can do it." After saying that, he turned around and left the office. He didn't want to give in on this issue. Being the youngest captain of Feiyang might be the greatest honor he had been striving for for so long, and he didn't want to give up.
Qiao Yan carried his suitcase to the parking lot. As soon as he put the suitcase in the car, his cell phone rang. He looked at it and it was Zhou Tongzhe. He hesitated and stared at the phone for a long time before answering it.
All the students were surrounding Zhou Tongzhe and looking at him, each of them was extremely anxious.
"Teacher Qiao, have you heard that the company said our technology is not good and does not want us to go out for exchanges?"
Qiao Yan took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little guilty. He should be blamed for the disturbance. "I have already talked to the captain, but there is no result yet. Don't worry. Also, talk to Instructor Lin."
"We've already looked for him, but he didn't care at all and told us to look for you."
Qiao Yan understood it very well. He held the phone tightly in his hand, his face as dark as Bao Gong, "Let me think of a way."
He had just put down the phone and hadn't had time to start the car when Ye Mi called him, "I heard we can't go?"
Qiao Yan didn't say anything, but he felt particularly soothed listening to her voice.
"Why don't you speak?" Ye Mi rolled around on the bed, feeling bored and uncomfortable.
"Do you want to go?" Qiao Yan asked calmly, holding the key ring of the car key in his hand. It was difficult for him to make a decision at this time.
Ye Mi heard the tone of the words and had some guesses in her mind, "Are they trying to embarrass you?" Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, she felt even more upset, but she laughed, "If you go, I really want to go. If you don't go, I don't care, because I can stay at home with my husband."
Qiao Yan felt a little sad. He didn't know how Ye Mi guessed it, but it was exciting and pleasant to have someone who understood him. He smiled slightly, "What can we do? We may have a lot of time like this in the future, traveling all over the world."
"Did you miss me then?"
Qiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Yes!"
"I miss you too. This way we are together and our hearts are together." Ye Mi snorted twice, as if he was dissatisfied with the silence on the other end of the phone, but Qiao Yan seemed to have thousands of words stuck in his throat and didn't know which one to say.
"Ye Mi..."
"Don't force yourself with anything. If you're sad, I'll be sad too." Ye Mi pounded the pillow again and again, her lips pouted. In fact, when Chen Tao called her to tell her the ins and outs of the matter, she probably guessed something. She heard from Qiao Yan that Lin Pei was brought up by the captain, so this matter must be used to torture Qiao Yan, and the most likely target was his nomination as captain.
Everyone wants to go abroad for exchange. It's a rare opportunity. Maybe it will only come once in a lifetime. Alas, she couldn't ask him to make sacrifices. She grabbed her hair randomly. Forget it. I can only feel sorry for my friend. Who told her to be inhumane to the opposite sex? God, please let me repent. Ye Mi stood up, knelt on the bed, clasped her hands together and prayed. She looked so cute.
Qiao Yan was playing with his phone, but his heart was restless. After a while, Qiao Yan started the car and went to the hospital instead of going home. Sun Jian had been discharged from the intensive care unit today and could speak and eat by himself. His brother's condition was also gradually stabilizing, and the operation was successful.
Seeing Qiao Yan coming in, Sun Jian smiled and stretched out his hand from a distance. Qiao Yan walked up to him and held his hand, and heard him say the word "thank you" with some difficulty. At that moment, his eyes were a little hot and he had an urge to cry. He had lived for himself all his life. He did whatever he wanted to do, what goals he wanted to achieve, and what methods he could take. Considering other people's feelings seemed to be unrealistic for a young man like him. Thank you was just a polite expression in his ears. No one had ever held his hand so sincerely to express gratitude to him.
It turns out that a person's world cannot be just himself, just like that silly girl's world seemed to be just him. Thinking of this, Qiao Yan felt more distressed and ashamed.
He briefly exchanged a few words with Sun Jian and said a lot of encouraging words. At this time, he thought this was the greatest help he could give him. After coming out of the ward, he sent a text message to Ye Mi, asking her to sleep well and not to contact her again.
Ye Mi made a very aggrieved expression, which made him want to laugh. It turned out that loving someone is so worrying. When you can't see her, what worries you is not missing her but worrying about her. You don't just want to see her and have her, but also want to know if she is okay and if she needs you.
He put away his phone and stood by the window sill looking at the grass in the hospital garden. The emerald green color really made people feel better. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling satisfied. He had never felt this kind of satisfaction before, as if he owned the world.
Early the next morning, he went straight to the unit and found the captain, "If I withdraw from the competition for the captain position now, will you not block those trainees?" He always had a high opinion of himself, and the sense of superiority of a wealthy family made him never beat around the bush when talking to others.
The captain was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to respond. He looked up at him, his face flushed and blue, "This..."
"In fact, there are no obstacles. I will help you solve a problem. You let those students go. Let them all go without leaving any one behind. This deal is very cost-effective for you. You know this clearly."
"Qiao Yan, how can you talk like that? I need to know clearly what I am doing." The captain stood up and faced Qiao Yan's direct gaze with evasive eyes, feeling a little guilty.
Qiao Yan laughed awkwardly, "My wish has come true, shouldn't I be happy? If I'm happy, I'll let the innocent people go." He felt a little sad, but he was actually quite innocent. "Also, let Ye Mi fly the domestic route with you. It doesn't make sense for a girl to fly internationally so hard." After saying that, he turned around and had to attend a discussion meeting. Tomorrow he had to fly to Liverpool, which would take another four days. When he came back, Ye Mi should go to Singapore for a visit and exchange, and they wouldn't see each other for a while.
The next day, the flight squadron posted the final list of nominees, and Qiao Yan was removed from the list. A large number of people gathered in front of the notice board in the Feiyang office area of the complex building, and everyone was a little surprised by this decision. No matter how cold-faced Qiao Yan was in the company, he had never hindered or hurt anyone in the company, and his flying skills were well-known.
Qiao Yan passed by the notice board carrying his suitcase. He looked at the title of the notice and his face darkened. He was still a little unhappy. Looking at the sympathetic eyes and comfort from the people around him, he felt a little embarrassed. He secretly complained in his heart, couldn't they wait until he flew away before posting it? After coming out of the crowd, he turned to the dispatch room. At the corner, he saw Lin Pei coming out. He smiled and looked at Qiao Yan, "Go to get the assignment? Oh, I forgot, I'm afraid you can't get the assignment this year."
Qiao Yan was a little annoyed. He turned around and looked at Lin Pei, "Do you think you won? Do you think that if I tell Captain Chen that I am the Second Young Master of Qiaojiang, he will still listen to you and use your bad ideas? Lin Pei, don't be so proud. I am letting you down."
Lin Pei's face flashed with a ruthless look, and his smile disappeared. "Aren't you just born in a noble family? You are so great? You give in to me? You also gave in to me with He Xiaoning?"
Qiao Yan was so angry that he couldn't stop breathing. Lin Pei's words hit his sore spot. He frowned and looked at him, "Are you trying to provoke me? If I go back, I might be sad, but it's useless now. I'm very happy. I think I've found someone who is more suitable for me."
"Qiao Yan, don't deceive yourself. You can't forget He Xiaoning at all. Ye Mi is just a substitute for you when you feel empty inside. Don't think I will believe that you are happy. That silly girl is just wishful thinking." Lin Pei's eyes were full of jealousy. In his heart, the only thing he won over Qiao Yan was marrying his woman. He thought he could make He Xiaoning fall in love with him, but he kept giving and giving, but still couldn't get any return. He didn't want to give up, but he couldn't hold on any longer. All the resentment was transferred to the man in front of him. He had everything he envied and wanted to have. He had almost everything he worked so hard to get. Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't help but go crazy.
Qiao Yan suddenly felt relieved when he looked at him. Sometimes the less you have something, the more you cling to it, just like he was clinging to making himself unhappy.
"Think whatever you want. I have other things to do." After saying that, he turned around calmly and ignored him.
Ye Mi completely ignored the scenery of Melbourne. He had been struggling with himself in the hotel bed since he arrived. He either couldn't fall asleep or couldn't wake up. Now he dreamed that someone called him, and the ringing kept ringing. After a long time, Ye Mi suddenly opened his eyes. There was really a call. He took a look and it was Zhou Tongzhe.
"Hey!" she said weakly.
"Ye Mi, Instructor Qiao's nomination for captain has been taken down!"
Ye Mi sat up suddenly, his eyes widened, a little bit unbelieving, "Say it again!"
"Teacher Qiao was eliminated. The final list of nominees was announced today and he is not on it."
Ye Mi's eyes turned red and tears suddenly flowed out. She felt wronged and anxious. She quickly called Qiao Yan and asked without saying anything, "Did you exchange conditions with them?" Her voice choked up as she spoke.
Qiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "Did you install a surveillance camera on me? How do you know everything?" His tone was normal.
Ye Mi was a little mad, "This way you won't have the chance to be the best in Feiyang."
"Will you be disappointed?" Qiao Yan stopped smiling. He was suddenly afraid that Ye Mi would lose confidence in him.
Ye Mi was a little anxious. "It's already this time. I feel sorry for you. You are the best co-pilot. Why can't you be promoted to captain? Why should I take you down? Just because you didn't treat me to a meal, didn't give me a gift, and didn't please the captain?"
Qiao Yan laughed out loud, "Don't talk about this, it doesn't matter. Ye Mi, you might have gone on an exchange visit when I come back from Liverpool, and we don't know when we'll meet again. I miss you." At the end, Qiao Yan's voice softened, and his heart softened as well, feeling itchy, as if being tickled by a feather.
Ye Mi was even more surprised, "You're not going?" How could that be? Even if he wasn't going with the trainees, he should be a representative of excellent pilots.
"I have to fly to Barcelona and can't go."
"Then I won't go either." Ye Mi couldn't help crying. What on earth was wrong? How could such a proud person bear that she was always so outstanding and suddenly not recognized for anything? "Hubby, don't be sad. You are the best. You were harmed by villains. Bad people will get their comeuppance. I miss you too. I'll go to Barcelona to see you." She cried and said, her voice aggrieved as if she was treated unfairly.
Qiao Yan felt extremely sad. All the unhappiness in his heart was washed away by her aggrieved sobs. If he could only choose one honor now, he would choose Ye Mi's recognition. She said he was the best, and he was content.
In the afternoon, Qiao Yan's plane did not take off in time because the European air traffic control area encountered large-scale lightning again, and heavy rain was falling over Liverpool. In sunny Melbourne, Ye Mi was not in a good mood at all. He just dragged his suitcase and boarded the flight back home with the fleet.
