The three flight attendants of Evergreen Airlines were chatting in the cafe on the second floor of the airport.
"What?! You went to register?" Lei Congwen, who almost spat out the coffee in her mouth, subconsciously glanced around. Fortunately, it was past eight in the morning and there were not many people at the airport.
She was a stewardess and wore the company's bright green uniform. She had to pay attention to her image at all times. However, at this moment, she narrowed her eyes angrily. Why? How could she have such a good friend, Liang Yongqian, who was not afraid of death? Her actions would always make people tremble in fear, and then she would force others to the edge of losing control.
"Moving so quickly is indeed in line with the Aries 'style of doing things without falling behind.”Compared to Lei Congwen's fuss, Coxilun was much calmer. It wasn't that she wasn't surprised, but her natural steady personality made her react more calmly than the average person in the face of any impact.
"I guess you haven't read the newspapers recently, right?”
Liang Yongqian, an Aries girl who was as pleasant as early spring, was 169 centimeters tall and had a slender skeleton that everyone admired. She blinked her child-like eyes and asked in confusion,
"What does it have to do with me signing up for the first flight of the Hamshi route?”
Even if she read the newspapers, she would only pick the sports and lifestyle sections. She would skip the rest and would not take it to heart even if she read it.
The two people sitting opposite her widened their eyes and stared at her, then one of them looked at the ceiling of the cafe and sighed. The other one crossed his arms and shook his head desperately.
"What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it!" She couldn't stand this kind of ambiguous situation the most. It would drive her, who had less patience than anyone else, crazy.
"You tell me, Heren." Lei Congwen glanced at Gao Xilun." I'm afraid that if I were to say it, I would lose control and go up to grab her neck or shake her head. For the sake of our company's reputation, I'll let the calmer you speak!”
Liang Yongqian frowned in protest.
"It's like this. Hamshi is currently in civil strife. I heard that it's because of the issue of succession to the throne. The crown prince and the prince, who is the king's younger brother, are fighting. The situation is very serious.”As expected of the so-called master of calmness, Cohiren never spoke too fast or too slow. Every word and sentence had an elegant rhythm to it.
"What does that have to do with me signing up for the maiden voyage?”Liang Yongqian's reaction was immediate. She was an Aries, and her thoughts were very simple. She did not see far, did not think deeply, and did not have the ability to analyze or associate. She always looked at the present, and the future was as far away as the end of her life.
Lei Congwen finished the rest of the coffee, which helped to calm her emotions.
"How dare you ask what this has to do with it? If your brain can't work, why don't you just throw it away!”She took a deep breath so that her voice wouldn't be so sharp.
"Think about it. What does martial law mean in the capital? It meant that the situation was out of control and a fight could break out at any time. Once the battle started, the airport would be closed first. If you were lucky enough to not land before the airport closed, you could just say goodbye. If you're unlucky and the airport closes after our plane lands, won't you be trapped there?”
Liang Yongqian frowned. Was this matter as serious as what Lei Congwen said? She was very suspicious.
"There's something more serious, Yongqian!" Cohiren's slow voice joined in. "The people sent by the prince are very disgusted with the interference of the Western countries. Yesterday, they even shot down a helicopter that a British reporter was in. Although they claimed that the plane was hit by a stray bullet, observers believed that it was a warning to Western society that they were not welcome to intervene.”
Liang Yongqian's frown deepened. She still did not understand. "We're not a western society. We're Taiwan, an Asian country.”
Lei Congwen looked at the ceiling of the cafe again, expressing her extreme helplessness towards Liang Yongqian's words.
"Once the war starts, who cares if you are from the west or the east?”Lei Congwen almost said," You idiot!"
"But that's not right. If it's as terrifying as you say, why didn't the company cancel the maiden voyage this time?”
That's because the company's supervisor is crazy, and so are you. Lei Congwen rolled her eyes and thought to herself.
"In fact, the company is also very cautious about this maiden voyage. Although this was the route that their Minister of Transportation had signed with the company, the Minister had disappeared after the battle for the throne. It was said that he was more inclined to support the Crown Prince's faction, so he was killed by Prince Neil's people. Now, there was no one in the Ministry of Transportation to make decisions, and the company was also very troubled. They wanted to fly, but they were afraid that there was no guarantee. If he didn't fly, the news would have already been reported. The company had spent a lot of money on this maiden voyage. If it was canceled before the war officially started, not only would it damage the company's reputation, but the money from the travel agency would also have to be returned to them. It would be a double loss for the company.”
Liang Yongqian listened attentively to Gao Xilun's analysis. She even took a sip of coffee to clear her mind so that she could understand the true meaning behind Gao Xilun's words. However, in the end, she gave up.
"If the company doesn't fly, I won't fly either. If the company thinks it can fly, what reason do I have to be afraid of flying to that country?”Moreover, if they really encountered the situation that they had mentioned, and they could not fly back because the airport was closed, there were more than 200 passengers and crew members. If everyone was trapped in the local area, she would not feel so afraid. As for what Cohiren had said about being shot down, she basically didn't think such an unfortunate thing would happen to her.
Liang Yongqian was optimistic about everything and was highly enthusiastic about the things she had decided on. There was always a drive in her body that kept her running forward. She was an Aries girl who did not know how to think twice before acting. She was direct and did not know how to deal with the aftermath. Because they did not know what trouble was, they would never plan for the worst.
In fact, she believed that there was no such thing as the worst moment in life. Even if she really encountered something terrible, she believed that she would have more courage than others to face setbacks and adversity. Therefore, in front of her friends, she always had the attitude that even if the sky fell, there would definitely be a tall person to hold it up first.
"You still don't understand." Lei Congwen shook her head. "However, this is not your fault. You Aries are born with a fearless personality, so your life is destined to be spent in the wind and rain; Please don't put my name in the emergency contact column. I'm very busy and don't have time to deal with things like rescuing hostages.”
"Hey!" She knocked on the table in protest. "Isn't this too much? I came here with the intention of sharing good news with my good friends. I didn't expect that not only did you not congratulate me, but you also poured cold water on me several times. This is too unkind. I usually call you brothers in vain.”
"Who's calling you brother? I was "forced" to be on your list of good friends because I was in the same group as you on the European route.”Lei Congwen was as direct as her good friend Liang Yongqian.
In fact, she had already had enough of Liang Yongqian's attitude of always looking ahead and not caring about what happened behind her. She used three minutes to participate in the heat, two minutes to regret, and then one minute to look for new things to divert her attention in order to forget what she regretted.
"I really don't understand you! Other people avoid it like the plague, but you can't wait to sign up. Why is your logic always different from others?”
"How is it different? Don't you think this is a good opportunity? How rare was it to be able to become a flight attendant on a flight from that country? Don't you think that our job as air stewardesses is too monotonous? Flying around in the air every day is too dull.”After saying that, she saw the two of them staring at her with anger and disbelief.
"Only a person like you can say such things.”Lei Congwen couldn't stand it anymore.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Please!" Lei Congwen rolled her eyes." The most dangerous thing is our industry. I really don't want to say such taboo words, but don't you think so? We are the ones closest to heaven, and we are the ones who fall to hell the fastest. The word "luck" doesn't exist in our dictionary. If anything happens, we won't stand a chance.”
"The chances of that happening are very small.”She retorted slowly. Isn't that so? There were car accidents every day, but plane crashes, hijackings, or shootdowns sometimes happened less than once a year.
"Forget it, I won't discuss such a profound problem with someone like you. Your brain is too simple to think of such a complicated problem. Anyway, Aries were born without any worries. You're always so optimistic."
"Yongqian, before you decided on this matter, did you ever think rationally?”Coxilun asked.
Lei Congwen looked as if the person who asked the question was a monster." You should know that Aries people are the best representatives of recklessness, recklessness, and impulsiveness. How could there be such a thing as rationality in her head?”
"Hey!" Liang Yongqian gave her a warning look. "I thought it through very clearly before deciding to do this. I really don't understand why you guys are making such a fuss!”Alright, she was a little hasty in making this decision. Perhaps it was because she was an Aries who did not fall behind in everything and had a pioneering and reckless personality!
However, this was just her flying to a country that might have civil strife due to the struggle for the throne. It was just a possibility. It was not certain that it would happen. Would the company risk being detained and fly to that country?
"I know what you're thinking.”Coxilun took a sip of coffee, his attitude still admirable.
"Don't think that everything is decided by the company. The higher-ups were also arguing endlessly, and no one was sure what the situation would be like. Why do you think the company didn't assign you this time but applied for you? It was because the people who were assigned to this mission all tried their best to make excuses. They had children, transferred to the ground service, were allergic to Arabs, and so on. There were all kinds of strange reasons in order to avoid this flight. But you, you went to register early in the morning because you were afraid that your quota would be full, and you even found us to congratulate you. Please, how do you want us to congratulate you? Was it something worth being happy about to watch a good friend fly an extremely dangerous route?”
Liang Yongqian put on a worried expression, but it did not stay on her face for long because the news on the television had caught her attention.
The screen showed Prince Neil of Hamshi leading his troops to surround the residence of the crown prince and giving a speech to the people in front of the square.
"What? This shameless bearded man was plotting to usurp the throne, so what? Why was he still giving a whitewash speech? You're really not straightforward at all!" She had a strong sense of justice and was usually more excited than others about bullying the weak.
"You'll have a chance to tell him your contempt in person very soon, because you'll be flying to the capital occupied by that bearded man next week.”Lei Congwen was angry because she was worried about her previously. Liang Yongqian did not care about this extremely dangerous flight at all!
"I think you should find a reason to cancel this flight! As you can see, the news said that their airport has been taken over by Prince Neil's men. They are afraid that the Crown Prince will flee to other countries to seek political asylum.”
"That's good. I'll fly over and pick him up.”Liang Yongqian's self-proclaimed humorous reply drew the cold eyes of her two good friends.
"Do you want to go and get Bin laden as well? Now that he was hiding everywhere, his situation might be even more pitiful than this crown prince.”Lei Congwen gritted her teeth.
"Sigh, I was just joking!" She waved her hand to ease the atmosphere. "I know you're worried about me, but someone has to take the lead in everything! By the way, what local products do you want? Hurry up and think about it, I'll write it down so that I don't forget.”She excitedly took out her notebook and looked at the two of them questioningly.
Lei Congwen held her forehead and leaned heavily against the back of the chair. Coxilun looked at her sympathetically.
Only people like Aries, who were optimistic and not afraid of death, could think of this problem at this time.
Calm, too calm, so calm that it was disappointing.
Liang Yongqian, who had taken the time to stroll around this simple waiting room, could not help but sigh at the lack of excitement in this flight.
They said that Prince Neil's armed forces had taken over the airport. She thought that she would be able to see a scene like the one on television, such as soldiers with loaded guns and cold faces patrolling back and forth, looking at all outsiders with vigilance and hostility. There was nothing. The surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of the border guards writing could be heard clearly. There were no signs of war. She had observed the surroundings of the airport with a high degree of adventure and curiosity, but she could not smell any scent of war. To think that she had been nervous because of the words of her two good friends. Now, she would definitely ridicule their cowardice when she went back.
Speaking of which, this really didn't look like the airport of a capital city. It was too simple and small. It was the most embarrassing airport she had ever seen in her three years of flying. It was small, and there was only one runway. Even the interior of the airport looked like it had been pieced together temporarily. There were very few people. The airport was not a crowded road, but a boundless desert made of weeds and dry land. If it weren't for a few military jeeps passing by occasionally, she would really think that she had landed in a deserted desert.
Due to the influence of the TV news, only a few reporters came with the Capital Airlines. The tour groups that had registered with them all backed out. In the end, their crew members added up to more than the passengers. What was even funnier was that they might have to return empty-handed. She thought that the people here were probably busy dealing with civil strife and did not have time to visit Taiwan!
What a boring flight! She couldn't even buy local products, nor did she have any sightseeing postcards to bring back to show Lei Congwen and Cohiren. For someone like her who liked to exaggerate what she had seen and heard, this was really frustrating.
The crew was resting on the plane. There was still half an hour before the plane took off. She was tired of the unchanging scenery in front of her and the strong winds that kept blowing, so she decided to return to the plane to rest. Just as she turned around and was about to walk to the runway, a deep and dangerous male voice suddenly sounded in the empty waiting room.
"I'm sorry, we can't just let you go like this, Faisel.”
Liang Yongqian frowned. She hated that kind of treacherous tone the most. Also, his English was very poor, and it sounded very uncomfortable.
The man who was surrounded on the wooden chair was dressed in white Arabian clothes. The cloth hanging from his white hat covered his expression. He did not even raise his head when he was threatened. It was obvious that he did not want to pay attention to them.
There were a total of five fiendish men, plus the person who sat motionless on the wooden chair. The six tall and strong men immediately made the small waiting room seem crowded.
Arabs always had countless grudges and unclear racial hatred. Even though she hated people who bullied the weak the most, in this Middle Eastern country where even the Western countries could not handle it, she reluctantly suppressed her rich sense of justice and pretended not to see anything and returned to the plane!
However, she could pretend not to see him. He was staring at her every move with five pairs of eyes. Even the man, who had refused to raise his head, turned his head slightly to glance at her.
That one glance made her heart beat wildly.
What beautiful eyes! It was as blue as the sea and as mysterious as the sea. It was deep and sharp. Just a light glance had shocked her, who had always thought of herself as brave.
"It's a young lady from the airline company. What should we do?”One of them asked.
"Ignore her. Let's bring Faisel back first.”
The man's hand was about to reach for the shoulder of the man with deep blue eyes when his chin suddenly received a heavy punch. As he was completely unprepared, his body flew out and crushed the seemingly unstable wooden chair. Then, he stopped moving.
The other four quickly took a big step back. The man finally left the chair and slowly stood up.
"Traitor." He lowered his head and spat out these two extremely cold words.
Liang Yongqian was not frightened by this scene. Instead, she was shocked by the man's explosive power. He didn't look any stronger than the five men who surrounded him, but he was able to punch them to the ground. It seemed that his calmness just now was indeed fearless and not faked.
Obviously, the other party did not expect his punch to be so shocking. After a short moment of surprise, they exchanged glances and decided to attack together.
A chaotic fight was played out in front of Liang Yongqian. She really wanted to turn around and leave, hide in the plane and pretend that she didn't see anything, but her sense of justice was as high as 95%, and she had a tendency to help the weak. She really couldn't sit idly by.
She turned to look at the immigration counter and was surprised to find that the passport inspector and the armed air traffic police officer had disappeared. Even though there were sounds of fighting and wooden chairs breaking, no one came out to show concern.
Damned airport, damnable Hamshi, what kind of place is this! She really didn't understand why the company was fighting for such a route. Did he think that this place wasn't lively enough?
Curses aside, she couldn't help but step forward to help.# " Examined by Daguan: Daguan Time:1024201810:36AM#Special
