1
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,226
When was the last time you had a dream?
2
00:01:44,226 --> 00:01:46,966
Do you still remember what your dream was?
3
00:01:49,016 --> 00:01:52,760
Jiang City is a shining city
on the eastern coast.
4
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,600
Hengshi Air
is the largest private airline in Jiang City.
5
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,720
It's also where I've worked
as a flight attendant for three years.
6
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,445
Years ago, the executives launched
the Soar Initiative.
7
00:02:06,445 --> 00:02:08,720
Any employee could apply.
8
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,745
Those who passed the exams could train
as company-sponsored pilots.
9
00:02:13,745 --> 00:02:17,765
This was my best chance to move
from a flight attendant to a pilot.
10
00:02:19,101 --> 00:02:21,280
I went through rounds of selection
11
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,080
and finally got my admission letter
from the Aviation Academy.
12
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,760
But the Initiative was suddenly terminated
by the new vice president, Fu Ming Yu.
13
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,360
All the effort I put in vanished in an instant.
14
00:02:41,214 --> 00:02:45,000
Just when I thought it was all over,
15
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,542
Fu Ming Yu showed up again.

18
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,544
Ruan.
19
00:03:13,544 --> 00:03:15,585
Gosh, you scared me.
20
00:03:15,585 --> 00:03:18,353
I didn't even hear you coming.
21
00:03:18,353 --> 00:03:20,595
What are you looking for in the dark?
22
00:03:20,595 --> 00:03:22,657
Where's the letter I wrote?
23
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,617
Letter?
24
00:03:33,403 --> 00:03:35,667
- What is this for?
- Putting it in an envelope.
25
00:03:35,667 --> 00:03:37,560
Two loose pages look so insincere.
26
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,840
After all, he is the vice president.
27
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,400
Forget it. I'll play it by ear.
28
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,586
- I'm late. I have to go.
- Wait! Let me give you a ride.
29
00:03:54,053 --> 00:03:56,948
Hurry! Helmet! Give me your suitcase.
30
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:00,240
Drop me off at an intersection,
and I'll take a taxi.
31
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,960
Relax. I'll be there in a flash.
Just hold on tight.
32
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,120
Wait, my hair is getting all messed up.
33
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,560
Fix it when you get there.
Better than being late.
34
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,319
- Slow down.
- I've talked to my mentor.
35
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:12,000
She'll cover for you
when you give him the letter.
36
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,280
No need. We're not that close.
37
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,920
Don't worry. She seems cold-hearted,
but she's actually nice.
38
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,960
We'll see.
39
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,581
Stop saying that.
You sent so many emails with no reply.
40
00:04:21,581 --> 00:04:22,839
Today is your last shot.
41
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,680
You worked so hard, and just as
it was about to begin, Fu canceled it.
42
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,440
Do you still want to be a pilot?
43
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,279
I said, we'll see. I'm losing my voice.
44
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,579
- Hold on tight!
- Slow down!
45
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:07,425
Ask Wang Le Kang about

[Fu Ming Yu, Vice President of Hengshi Air]
the Air Crew Department's grooming standards.
47

Will do, Mr. Fu.
48
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,075
Morning, Manager Wang.
49
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,466
Ruan Si Xian.
50
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,241
Morning, Mr. Wang.
51
00:05:30,241 --> 00:05:32,399
[Wang Le Kang, Manager of Air Crew Department]
Your hair. Looking for a demerit?
52
00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:35,280
It was the wind.
Mr. Wang, I'll fix it right away.
53
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,243
On your way here, did you see anyone
riding an electric scooter?
54
00:05:38,243 --> 00:05:41,120
They don't even care about traffic rules.
55
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,849
- Well...
- Fine. Off you go.
56
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,319
- Ruan, you're here.
- What are you chatting about?
57
00:05:56,319 --> 00:05:57,400
Where's the purser?
58
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,101
Didn't you check the message?
The flight is delayed.
59
00:06:00,993 --> 00:06:05,250
They're discussing how to outsmart Fu Ming Yu.
60
00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:07,866
Outsmart him? For what?
61
00:06:07,866 --> 00:06:10,891
Haven't you heard?
That fair-skinned flight attendant of ours.
62
00:06:10,891 --> 00:06:13,251
Mr. Fu, please take a look at this.
63
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,840
She's about to get engaged to
the son of Zhengxi Steel's chairman.
64
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:24,665
Unbelievable, right?
I heard they first met on a flight.
65
00:06:24,665 --> 00:06:30,400
Yeah, they fell in love at first sight.
That's how they ended up together.
66
00:06:34,236 --> 00:06:35,920
Your gossip is so boring.
67
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,800
Not even soap operas are this cliché.
68
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Ruan, didn't you have a lot to say to Mr. Fu?
69
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,731
He just happened to choose our flight.
70
00:06:44,731 --> 00:06:48,696
It's fate. You've got to seize the opportunity.
71
00:06:53,131 --> 00:06:56,249
Is this how you restructured your department?
72
00:06:57,358 --> 00:07:01,513
Did you find the attendant
riding the electric scooter this morning?
73
00:07:01,513 --> 00:07:04,988
I've watched all morning,
but I haven't seen her.
74
00:07:06,627 --> 00:07:09,333
I'll check with every squadron.
75
00:07:09,333 --> 00:07:11,485
She'll be disciplined once found.

- Welcome aboard, Mr. Fu.
- Welcome aboard, Mr. Fu.

00:09:12,405 --> 00:09:15,671
I'm doomed. Look at his grumpy face.
83
00:09:15,671 --> 00:09:18,247
It won't be easy to deliver this letter.
84
00:09:20,609 --> 00:09:23,385
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for your patience.
85
00:09:23,385 --> 00:09:28,760
- For your safety, please stow your tray table,
- Ms. Wang, please fasten your seat belt.
86
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,440
- return your seat to the upright position,
- Ms. Liu, please fasten your seat belt.
87
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,346
- and open your window shade.
- And switch your phone to airplane mode.
88
00:09:34,346 --> 00:09:35,720
Please fasten your seat belt,
89
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,600
turn off your electronic devices,
or switch them to airplane mode.
90

The use of power banks
and other lithium battery devices
91
00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:43,606
is prohibited throughout the flight.
92
00:09:43,606 --> 00:09:46,320
Thank you for your cooperation.
We wish you a pleasant journey.
93
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,252
Isn't this a bit much for a flight?
94
00:10:14,545 --> 00:10:16,206
So you're afraid of flying.
95
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:26,235
Mr. Fu, is our airline really going to
buy a large jetliner?
96
00:10:26,235 --> 00:10:29,696
Domestically built jetliners are the future.
97
00:10:29,696 --> 00:10:31,962
It's also something we must achieve.
98
00:10:31,962 --> 00:10:35,028
Hengshi Air must take forward-looking actions
99
00:10:35,028 --> 00:10:38,128
to seize the initiative
over the next three years.
100
00:10:39,678 --> 00:10:42,265
Is that why you suspended the Soar Initiative?
101
00:10:42,265 --> 00:10:47,495
It was also necessary to launch
a new sponsored pilot program.
102
00:10:47,495 --> 00:10:50,446
Si Xiao Zhen told me about the Soar Initiative.
103

You're assigned to A1 today.

- Thank you.
- Think twice before giving Mr. Fu that letter.

If he complains, that's on you.
106
00:10:58,105 --> 00:11:01,000
Honestly, you might as well just quit.
107
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,798
If everyone wants to be a pilot,
how am I supposed to run this crew?
108
00:11:04,798 --> 00:11:06,210
Go on.
109
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,065
Careful, the coffee is hot.
110
00:11:14,065 --> 00:11:15,495

Are you tired of
being a flight attendant at Hengshi Air?
117
00:12:15,303 --> 00:12:18,185
Yes, I don't want to be a flight attendant.
118
00:12:18,185 --> 00:12:20,090
- I want to be--
- The boss's wife?
119
00:12:22,141 --> 00:12:27,040
Keep dreaming. Don't forget
you're still wearing the Hengshi Air uniform.
120
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,627
Can you at least consider the company's image?
121
00:12:29,627 --> 00:12:31,769
Mr. Fu, don't get me wrong.
122
00:12:31,769 --> 00:12:33,309

- Ladies and gentlemen.
- Daddy!

Please fasten your seat belts.

00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:46,600
Little one, fasten your seat belt. It's okay.
127
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,840
Passengers standing in the cabin,
please take the nearest seat immediately.
128
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,200
Ensure your luggage is stowed
and the overhead bins are closed.
129

Cabin crew, please be seated
for your own safety.

Sit tight.
131
00:13:57,239 --> 00:14:00,677
How much longer do you plan to sit here?
132
00:14:03,299 --> 00:14:05,914
Your love letter fell.
133
00:14:08,452 --> 00:14:11,291
- Mr. Fu, let me explain.
- No need.
134
00:14:11,291 --> 00:14:13,285
Get your purser over here.
135
00:14:15,657 --> 00:14:17,842
Mr. Fu, please read this letter.
136
00:14:17,842 --> 00:14:20,589
Once you read it, you'll understand everything.
137
00:14:30,620 --> 00:14:32,425
This is ridiculous.
138
00:14:37,002 --> 00:14:40,449
Mr. Fu, were you hurt during the turbulence?
139
00:14:40,449 --> 00:14:44,890
We sincerely apologize for the poor experience
caused by our lack of oversight.
140
00:14:44,890 --> 00:14:48,098
But rest assured,
we will strengthen crew management.

00:14:48,098 --> 00:14:50,320
Mr. Fu, we're truly sorry.
142
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,983

- Take care.
- Take care. Watch your step.

00:15:10,759 --> 00:15:12,498
- See you.
- Goodbye.

- Take care, little one.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Wait for me.
152
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,799
Okay. I'll wait for you at the entrance.
153
00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:00,940
- Okay. See you in a bit.
- Okay.
154
00:16:05,516 --> 00:16:11,516
What bad luck. Why is this guy everywhere?
155
00:16:17,513 --> 00:16:21,494
Wait. He doesn't think
I'm stalking him, does he?
156
00:16:27,876 --> 00:16:31,196
- Ruan!
- Xuan!
157
00:16:32,917 --> 00:16:34,621
What's with the face?
158
00:16:34,621 --> 00:16:35,837
Don't even ask.
159
00:16:35,837 --> 00:16:38,864
That Fu Ming Yu won't even read my letter.
160
00:16:38,864 --> 00:16:40,716
He even thought I was harassing him.
161
00:16:41,329 --> 00:16:44,461
Alright, alright. Let's go.
I'll take you somewhere fun tonight.
162
00:16:44,461 --> 00:16:47,750
- Where to?
- To my boss's cocktail party.
163

164
00:16:50,688 --> 00:16:52,161

Thank you so much. You're really nice.

Cheers.
167
00:17:26,895 --> 00:17:29,021
The richer people are, the pettier they get.
168
00:17:29,021 --> 00:17:31,167
Turbulence on a flight is totally normal.
169
00:17:31,167 --> 00:17:32,637
Yet he's holding a grudge over that.
170
00:17:32,637 --> 00:17:35,089
It's not exactly a grudge.
171
00:17:35,089 --> 00:17:38,074
But he probably thinks I'm a stalker.
172
00:17:38,074 --> 00:17:43,498
Why does everything get in my way
whenever I try?
173
00:17:43,498 --> 00:17:45,757
Should I just give up and be a total slacker?
174
00:17:45,757 --> 00:17:48,663
No way. That's not the Ruan Si Xian I know.
175
00:17:48,663 --> 00:17:51,856
Even if you were a slacker,
you'd be the most hardworking one.
176
00:17:51,856 --> 00:17:55,797
You would grind from every angle.
177
00:17:55,797 --> 00:17:59,377
- What nonsense.
- You laughed. Finally.
178
00:18:00,277 --> 00:18:03,077
What's the occasion today? Why so many guests?
179
00:18:03,077 --> 00:18:06,357
No idea. My boss loves
throwing parties like this.
180
00:18:06,357 --> 00:18:09,677
He likes a lively crowd.
But the guests must be big shots.
181
00:18:09,677 --> 00:18:12,837
I heard it's about
the acquisition of WT Airport.
182
00:18:12,837 --> 00:18:16,359
Of course, they wouldn't tell
a flight attendant like me the details.
183
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,077
But one thing's for sure.
They're either rich or powerful.
184
00:18:19,077 --> 00:18:20,102
Xuan!
185
00:18:20,102 --> 00:18:22,357
Yes? Okay.
186
00:18:22,357 --> 00:18:23,437
My boss is here.
187
00:18:23,437 --> 00:18:25,336
- Go ahead.
- Boss.
188
00:18:28,385 --> 00:18:31,626
You have to take this. Chairman Fu is furious.
189
00:18:37,367 --> 00:18:40,877
- Hello?
- Hengshi Air isn't your personal fiefdom.
190
00:18:40,877 --> 00:18:43,221
You abolished the Soar Initiative.
191
00:18:43,221 --> 00:18:45,997
Who's going to be responsible
for the sunk costs?
192
00:18:45,997 --> 00:18:47,582
Is the board just for show?
193
00:18:47,582 --> 00:18:49,157
Please, let me explain.
194
00:18:49,157 --> 00:18:51,783
- Reforms are bound to cause--
- Fu Ming Yu.
195
00:18:51,783 --> 00:18:53,437
You've barely taken office.
196
00:18:53,437 --> 00:18:56,717
Do you know how many people
complained about you?
197
00:18:56,717 --> 00:18:59,554
[Fu Si Nian, Chairman of Hengshi Air]
Get back on the earliest flight.
198
00:19:02,237 --> 00:19:04,637
Chairman Fu. Here's the thing.
199
00:19:04,637 --> 00:19:06,917
Yes, he's had a lot on his plate lately.
200
00:19:06,917 --> 00:19:10,961
Don't worry. I'll book him
the earliest flight back tomorrow.
201
00:19:22,658 --> 00:19:24,733
How ridiculous.
202
00:19:34,215 --> 00:19:35,637
- Mr. Fu.
- Why are you--
203
00:19:35,637 --> 00:19:38,231
You've misunderstood.
I was invited here by a friend.
204
00:19:38,231 --> 00:19:40,758
A friend? Which friend?
205
00:19:40,758 --> 00:19:42,537
Her boss's name is...
206
00:19:44,277 --> 00:19:46,316
What was it again?
207
00:19:49,991 --> 00:19:52,537
Mr. Fu. I won't waste time explaining.
208
00:19:52,537 --> 00:19:55,041
You didn't read this letter before.
Please take a look.
209
00:19:55,041 --> 00:19:56,837
So you don't think I have ulterior motives.
210
00:19:56,837 --> 00:19:58,597
Please stay away from me.
211
00:20:10,990 --> 00:20:12,783
That's truly clumsy.
212
00:20:13,637 --> 00:20:16,662
Would you believe me
if I said today was pure coincidence?
213
00:20:16,662 --> 00:20:19,357
Yes. Of course I do.
214
00:20:19,357 --> 00:20:21,471
I'd even believe you could fly.
215
00:20:24,688 --> 00:20:26,473
How can you be like this?
216
00:20:26,473 --> 00:20:28,778
You aren't listening to me at all.
217
00:20:28,778 --> 00:20:30,037
As I said, it was pure--
218
00:20:30,037 --> 00:20:32,864
Being unreasonable won't get you anywhere.
219
00:20:33,517 --> 00:20:36,302
I've seen plenty of these cheap tricks before.
220
00:20:36,302 --> 00:20:41,236
If you have this much time and energy,
focus it on your actual job.
221
00:20:45,477 --> 00:20:48,422
A man who's afraid of flying
wants to run an airline?
222
00:20:48,422 --> 00:20:51,261
That's the biggest joke I've heard all year.
223
00:20:56,575 --> 00:21:00,941
The whole way here,
you thought I was harassing you?
224
00:21:00,941 --> 00:21:03,064
Why are you so full of yourself?
225
00:21:03,064 --> 00:21:05,674
How can you just ignore other people's effort?
226
00:21:10,255 --> 00:21:11,803
Effort?
227
00:21:14,797 --> 00:21:17,663
I think you just want a shortcut.
228
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:30,543
Go back to work.
229
00:22:44,751 --> 00:22:46,131
Chairman Fu.
230
00:23:10,646 --> 00:23:12,946
Actually, on your way back,
231
00:23:12,946 --> 00:23:16,411
my anger had already mostly subsided.
232
00:23:16,411 --> 00:23:20,516
In the past, I was even more reckless than you.
233
00:23:20,516 --> 00:23:23,277
But that very temper
234
00:23:23,277 --> 00:23:27,455
caused me a lot of trouble when I was young.
235
00:23:28,158 --> 00:23:31,758
So, I want to give you some advice.
236
00:23:31,758 --> 00:23:36,997
Before making a major decision,
give yourself some time.
237
00:23:36,997 --> 00:23:38,452
Don't rush.
238
00:23:38,452 --> 00:23:41,047
Always leave others some leeway.
239
00:23:41,047 --> 00:23:47,047
This is a lesson
I've learned the hard way over the years.
240
00:23:48,438 --> 00:23:51,062
Dad, times have changed.
241
00:23:51,062 --> 00:23:52,767
And I've thought it through.
242
00:23:52,767 --> 00:23:56,794
If Hengshi Air is to turn a profit,
reform is inevitable.
243
00:23:56,794 --> 00:24:00,294
Some programs are outdated now,
like the Soar Initiative--
244
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:02,827
Don't be so hasty.
245
00:24:02,827 --> 00:24:04,412
Let me break it down.
246
00:24:04,412 --> 00:24:07,889
How many people
would canceling the Soar Initiative affect?
247
00:24:08,558 --> 00:24:12,984
Once it's canceled, a whole year of work
248
00:24:12,984 --> 00:24:18,716
by Human Resources and Flight Operations
would go to waste.
249
00:24:20,035 --> 00:24:22,181
Do you think they won't have any complaints?
250
00:24:22,181 --> 00:24:25,325
You'll need to terminate the training program
with the Aviation Academy.
251
00:24:25,325 --> 00:24:28,990
Setting aside the penalty fees,
the negotiation cost is already high.
252
00:24:29,649 --> 00:24:33,353
Besides, it was Mr. Zhu's way
to promote Hengshi Air's core values.
253
00:24:33,353 --> 00:24:35,363
He wanted to address employee needs
254
00:24:35,363 --> 00:24:39,638
and provide everyone with a chance
to become a pilot.
255
00:24:39,638 --> 00:24:41,983
The board also approved it.
256
00:24:41,983 --> 00:24:45,718
Even though Zhu retired before you arrived,
257
00:24:45,718 --> 00:24:51,050
by doing this, you're ruining his legacy.
258
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,319
How could he be happy about it?
259
00:24:55,233 --> 00:24:57,579
Cabin Services, Flight Operations, and HR.
260
00:24:57,579 --> 00:25:02,119
The heads of these departments
were all mentored by Zhu.
261
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:08,119
Which part of your current work
doesn't rely closely on these people?
262
00:25:12,657 --> 00:25:14,013
Fine.
263
00:25:15,323 --> 00:25:17,159
I'll stay with you for a bit longer.
264
00:25:17,159 --> 00:25:22,241
Think it over,
then tell me your final decision.
265
00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:50,759
[Director Qin, Admissions Office]
[Aviation Academy]
266
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,218
[Fan Lei, Captain of Hengshi Air]
Captain Fan.
267
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:15,279
Captain Fan.
268
00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:17,940
I don't know if you remember me.
My name is Ruan Si Xian.
269
00:26:17,940 --> 00:26:20,279
You were my interviewer
for the Soar Initiative.
270
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:22,945
I remember. What are you doing here?
271
00:26:22,945 --> 00:26:25,279
I'm looking for someone.
272
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:26,970
Did you find them?
273
00:26:27,595 --> 00:26:28,739
No.
274
00:26:28,739 --> 00:26:31,119
What brings you here?
275
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,173
I'm here to practice.
276
00:26:35,839 --> 00:26:38,039
I'll head in now.
277
00:27:00,041 --> 00:27:01,751
Ruan Si Xian!
278
00:27:21,525 --> 00:27:23,799
- She's with me.
- Okay.
279
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:29,051
- Open the gate.
- Go on in.
280
00:27:46,266 --> 00:27:47,763
So?
281
00:27:47,763 --> 00:27:50,384
Are you still canceling the Soar Initiative?
282
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,247
Hengshi Air needs reform.
283
00:27:56,532 --> 00:28:00,048
My stance has never changed.
284
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,562
Alright.
285
00:28:11,617 --> 00:28:15,242
I'll give the board an explanation.
286
00:28:15,242 --> 00:28:20,946
You handle the arrangements
for each department.
287
00:28:20,946 --> 00:28:22,120
Got it.
288
00:28:27,919 --> 00:28:31,103
I heard the Soar Initiative was canceled.
289
00:28:31,103 --> 00:28:35,039
Captain Fan. It is indeed canceled.
290
00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:40,879
So I came here to find out
if I still have a chance to learn to fly.
291
00:28:40,879 --> 00:28:42,744
But I heard
292
00:28:42,744 --> 00:28:47,449
our training program with the Aviation Academy
has already been terminated.
293
00:28:47,449 --> 00:28:51,319
Even if you got accepted into the program,
294
00:28:51,319 --> 00:28:53,904
the academy might not take you.
295
00:28:53,904 --> 00:28:59,119
But I'm not here for a guaranteed result,
but for a glimmer of hope.
296
00:28:59,119 --> 00:29:02,439
Even if there's only a 1% chance,
I want to try.
297
00:29:02,439 --> 00:29:06,299
How? What's your plan?
298
00:29:06,299 --> 00:29:10,243
I'll find admissions officers
and fight for a spot.
299
00:29:10,243 --> 00:29:14,183
Admissions officers? Did you find one?
300
00:29:15,049 --> 00:29:18,109
No. They didn't answer my calls.
301
00:29:18,109 --> 00:29:19,284
That's why I came here.
302
00:29:19,284 --> 00:29:22,959
I think that alone says a lot
about the academy.
303
00:29:22,959 --> 00:29:25,319
Coming in person won't change much.
304
00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:29,824
Two years ago, I never thought
I'd pass the Soar Initiative selection.
305
00:29:29,824 --> 00:29:33,763
And to be honest,
I've already resigned from Hengshi Air.
306
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:39,959
- Come with me.
- Where to?
307
00:29:39,959 --> 00:29:43,539
Practice with me first.
I'll take you to the admissions office later.
308
00:31:14,399 --> 00:31:18,121
Dad. I want to be a pilot when I grow up.
309
00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:22,823
Then I'll only fly on planes
my little girl flies.
310
00:31:54,459 --> 00:31:55,845
Director Qin.
311
00:31:55,845 --> 00:31:57,999
- Director Qin.
- You're here.
312
00:31:57,999 --> 00:32:00,504
I'm here to ask you something.
Sorry to bother you.
313
00:32:00,504 --> 00:32:03,319
Don't be so formal.
We've been classmates for four years.
314
00:32:03,319 --> 00:32:07,224
Can't believe you're being so polite with me.
Have a seat.
315
00:32:07,224 --> 00:32:10,450
The thing is, we couldn't reach
admissions by phone.
316
00:32:10,450 --> 00:32:11,995
So I had to come in person.
317
00:32:11,995 --> 00:32:13,320
That's just how it is here.
318
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,719
Once the holidays start,
the admissions office's line is always busy.
319
00:32:17,719 --> 00:32:20,625
If you want to get through,
you need a bit of luck.
320
00:32:20,625 --> 00:32:23,159
- Here, have some water.
- Don't trouble yourself.
321
00:32:23,159 --> 00:32:25,812
- Please sit.
- Sit. Let me introduce you.
322
00:32:25,812 --> 00:32:29,678
This is Ruan Si Xian,
my colleague at Hengshi Air.
323
00:32:29,678 --> 00:32:32,319
She passed the interview
for the Soar Initiative.
324
00:32:32,319 --> 00:32:35,319
She even received the admission letter
from the Aviation Academy.
325
00:32:35,319 --> 00:32:38,119
Now that the Soar Initiative is canceled,
everything is on hold.
326
00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:40,543
So, I came here to ask for her.
327
00:32:40,543 --> 00:32:43,768
In a situation like hers,
is there any room for maneuver?
328
00:32:43,768 --> 00:32:45,759
How can there be any room?
329
00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:48,639
Well. The entire training program has stalled.
330
00:32:48,639 --> 00:32:51,823
If we recruit these students,
who would take them after graduation?
331
00:32:51,823 --> 00:32:55,999
You know,
every takeoff and landing costs money.
332
00:32:55,999 --> 00:32:58,584
Even a plane sitting in the hangar costs money.
333
00:32:58,584 --> 00:33:02,849
Training a single pilot costs
at least 700,000 yuan.
334
00:33:02,849 --> 00:33:06,033
If airlines won't pay the tuition,
335
00:33:06,033 --> 00:33:09,363
the academy can't just swallow the cost.
336
00:33:11,525 --> 00:33:13,719
Are there still self-funded students?
337
00:33:13,719 --> 00:33:15,024
Self-funded students?
338
00:33:15,024 --> 00:33:19,199
In the decades since this academy opened,
there have only been two.
339
00:33:19,199 --> 00:33:23,744
If you ask me, it's perfectly fine for a girl
to be a flight attendant.
340
00:33:23,744 --> 00:33:26,919
You're still on a plane.
Right.
341
00:33:26,919 --> 00:33:28,159
You're an exception, of course.
342
00:33:28,159 --> 00:33:32,759
Out of the dozens of people in our class,
you're the only female captain.
343
00:33:32,759 --> 00:33:37,183
Still, you should know
the pressure on a pilot is immense.
344
00:33:37,183 --> 00:33:43,137
Just a few days ago, one of our students
was grounded due to the stress.
345
00:33:49,523 --> 00:33:52,148
Sorry. I couldn't be of more help.
346
00:33:52,148 --> 00:33:55,679
Captain Fan, you've already helped me a lot.
347
00:33:55,679 --> 00:33:57,091
Thank you.
348
00:33:57,858 --> 00:33:59,684
As for the tuition...
349
00:34:00,579 --> 00:34:02,256
I'll find a way.
350
00:34:07,001 --> 00:34:09,483
Why are you so set on learning to fly?
351
00:34:11,498 --> 00:34:15,831
Actually, before I met you,
I hadn't really decided to learn to fly.
352
00:34:17,065 --> 00:34:20,323
I was just being stubborn,
353
00:34:20,323 --> 00:34:23,423
insisting on achieving
the goal I've had for two years.
354
00:34:24,343 --> 00:34:28,416
After all, it was what kept me going
for the past two years.
355
00:34:28,416 --> 00:34:29,928
I felt I had to make it happen.
356
00:34:29,928 --> 00:34:34,588
But after seeing you pilot that plane
357
00:34:35,519 --> 00:34:38,305
and soar into the sky today,
358
00:34:38,305 --> 00:34:44,049
my dream suddenly felt within reach.
359
00:34:44,049 --> 00:34:47,755
I felt those two years
of effort weren't in vain.
360
00:34:47,755 --> 00:34:51,820
It made me certain that
I must become the person I want to be.
361
00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:53,916
It's just a matter of money.
362
00:34:54,834 --> 00:34:56,779
I'll find a way.
363
00:34:56,779 --> 00:35:01,358
Everyone is telling you it's impossible.
364
00:35:01,358 --> 00:35:03,481
You should listen to good advice.
365
00:35:04,478 --> 00:35:06,078
Why are you so stubborn?
366
00:35:06,078 --> 00:35:10,143
Captain Fan, I know you mean well.
367
00:35:10,143 --> 00:35:15,266
But if everyone tells you that you can do it,
368
00:35:15,266 --> 00:35:16,771
the outcome is already known.
369
00:35:16,771 --> 00:35:18,796
Then why should I even try?
370
00:35:18,796 --> 00:35:23,761
Isn't a dream all about
turning the impossible into the possible?
371
00:35:27,238 --> 00:35:31,758
You still don't understand
how hard this path is for a woman.
372
00:35:31,758 --> 00:35:37,577
Captain Fan, my life up until now
has always been hard.
373
00:35:39,683 --> 00:35:41,839
What's wrong with keeping at it?
374
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,453
I'll give it my best shot.
375
00:36:13,625 --> 00:36:16,126
Ruan Si Xian from Division 4 has resigned?
376
00:36:16,126 --> 00:36:18,918
I heard she didn't get her way on the plane.
377
00:36:18,918 --> 00:36:22,960

she's still pestering Mr. Fu.

380
00:37:37,758 --> 00:37:41,169
Ladies and gentlemen, may I begin?
381
00:37:45,704 --> 00:37:47,743
Please look at the screen.
382
00:37:49,096 --> 00:37:54,063
This is the Z101, a commercial aircraft
developed in our country.
383
00:37:54,063 --> 00:37:57,987
Our purchase contract has reached
the final delivery stage.
384
00:37:57,987 --> 00:38:01,819
Commercial domestic aircraft are not only
a milestone in high-end manufacturing,
385
00:38:01,819 --> 00:38:06,444
but also key to reshaping the global aviation
supply chain and ensuring economic security.
386
00:38:06,444 --> 00:38:08,311
Introducing domestic aircraft
387
00:38:08,311 --> 00:38:12,929
holds strategic weight
and huge economic potential.
388
00:38:15,338 --> 00:38:17,723
Regarding the Z101 air crew,
389
00:38:17,723 --> 00:38:22,358
we've assigned our top captain instructors
for aircraft conversion training.
390
00:38:22,358 --> 00:38:26,383
They will then lead the new pilots
in transition training.
391
00:38:26,383 --> 00:38:31,690
This will also greatly shorten
the time from delivery to the inaugural flight.
392
00:38:31,690 --> 00:38:33,450
Let me say a few words.
393
00:38:34,782 --> 00:38:36,283
Three years ago,
394
00:38:36,984 --> 00:38:39,749
due to declining profits at Hengshi Air,
395
00:38:39,749 --> 00:38:43,901
we had to adopt a cost optimization strategy.
396
00:38:43,901 --> 00:38:47,287
Whether stopping the Soar Initiative
or laying off staff,
397
00:38:47,287 --> 00:38:51,232
both have greatly reduced costs.
398
00:38:51,232 --> 00:38:54,878
However, in terms of optimization,
399
00:38:54,878 --> 00:38:58,069
we haven't seen any obvious results yet.
400
00:38:58,069 --> 00:39:02,088
So, introducing this new model
is the perfect opportunity.
401
00:39:02,088 --> 00:39:06,318
I hope that under Mr. Fu's leadership,
we can seize this opportunity
402
00:39:06,318 --> 00:39:12,261
to boost our publicity
and drive overall performance.
403
00:39:13,478 --> 00:39:18,664
I hope all the board members here trust us.
404
00:39:18,664 --> 00:39:20,729
Since you mentioned publicity,
405
00:39:20,729 --> 00:39:23,878
next, Zeng Yu
from the Corporate Publicity Department
406
00:39:23,878 --> 00:39:26,921
will present the detailed plans.
407
00:39:30,596 --> 00:39:34,236
Here's the plan to promote
Hengshi Air's new model.
408
00:39:34,236 --> 00:39:36,821
We've already launched
the public bidding process.
409
00:39:36,821 --> 00:39:38,798
After the first round of screening,
410
00:39:38,798 --> 00:39:42,862
three suppliers have made it
to the final pitch stage.
411
00:39:42,862 --> 00:39:45,598
I believe that through our final efforts,
412
00:39:45,598 --> 00:39:49,503
we will create a perfect launch campaign
before the inaugural flight.
413
00:39:49,503 --> 00:39:51,809
We will certainly work tirelessly--
414
00:39:51,809 --> 00:39:55,918
The launch is set for 68 days from now,
on Hengshi Air's 20th anniversary.
415
00:39:55,918 --> 00:39:58,955
Supplier selection will be completed
within a week.
416
00:39:58,955 --> 00:40:02,500
The publicity plan will be finalized
within 30 days.
417
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:04,246
This is our current schedule.

The Publicity Department
and the Vice President's Office
420
00:40:11,273 --> 00:40:12,727
have researched the market.
421
00:40:12,727 --> 00:40:15,961
Among the two airlines
that introduced domestic aircraft,
422
00:40:15,961 --> 00:40:20,027
Jiangbei Air paired domestic aircraft
with local catering
423
00:40:20,027 --> 00:40:22,604
on key domestic tourism routes.
424
00:40:22,604 --> 00:40:25,567
However, the results did not meet expectations.
425
00:40:25,567 --> 00:40:30,672
The other airline, Qinshan Air,
updated its aircraft livery
426
00:40:30,672 --> 00:40:33,247
and customized themed uniforms
for the cabin crew.
427
00:40:33,247 --> 00:40:35,506
This generated a lot of buzz online.
428
00:40:35,506 --> 00:40:37,813
It has a strong appeal to young passengers.
429
00:40:37,813 --> 00:40:40,512
We can use this as a reference.
430
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,910
So...
431
00:40:52,207 --> 00:40:56,277
are you satisfied with these current options?
432
00:40:57,847 --> 00:40:58,892
They're not ideal.

00:40:58,892 --> 00:41:00,172
Okay.

Then I hope you and Mr. Zeng's department
give this some serious thought.
435
00:41:06,157 --> 00:41:11,382
While introducing a new model,
we need to find an answer.
