(Blossom Through the Cloud)

(Adapted from the novel on JJWXC, "Landing on My Heart", by Qiao Yao)

Ms. Zheng.

Did your boss say...

when he'll be finished?

I've been waiting for almost an hour.

I'm sorry, Mr. Fu is busy at the training center.

It might be some time before he returns.

How about you have some tea while you wait?

More tea?

- Fu Ming Yu is seriously sick! - Fu Ming Yu is seriously sick!

An echo?

Who's copying me?

(Episode 9: "Then We're Even")

Fifty.

Thirty.

Twenty. Retard.

Thank you both for your hard work.

(Hengshi Air)

What are the results?

It does indeed overlap...

with Captain Fan's situation.

In terms of timing, there's a seven-minute overlap.

I think Captain Fan did the absolute best she could.

Okay.

I understand the situation.

In that case,

go back and compare...

the flight data once more.

No problem. I'll head out first then.

All right, get back to it.

- Okay. - Goodbye, Mr. Fu.

(Ruan Si Xian)

(How about dinner together tomorrow night?)

- What's the status? - Let me give you a report.

The relevant leaders and the Safety Committee...

have all been notified.

Also, Director He...

has arranged an impromptu dinner for you tonight.

It's quite a long drive.

Several of Hengshi's core board members...

will be attending.

So you need to head over early to prepare.

Let's head out now.

Also, tell Zheng You An not to wait anymore.

Okay.

(Ruan Si Xian)

I'm busy.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Instructor Fang.

You're certainly diligent.

I haven't even had a sip of my coffee yet.

I should let you know.

I saw you have simulator sessions...

scheduled for the next two days, right?

- Yes. - The company has other plans.

All training must be paused for two days.

Why?

Mr. Fu's orders.

Him again.

Come on, let's start.

I'm not drinking this coffee anymore.

So...

It has been almost three hours.

When is he coming back?

Sorry, I was just about to tell you.

Mr. Fu has other arrangements today.

He's not coming back to the office.

He's not coming back? No, he's not.

Thank you.

Who does this?

You're welcome to visit our school again.

- Thank you for the hospitality. - One by one, please.

Thank you for your hard work.

Actually, we can find a place to grab a bite later.

Then you can ask me any questions you have.

- Is that okay? - Great! Sounds good.

- Where are we eating? - Will it be too expensive?

Just right by the entrance.

- Let's find a good place, okay? - Sure.

I know a hot pot restaurant nearby that's really delicious.

- No problem. - That's the one, then.

- Okay. - Captain Yue.

Excuse me.

Mr. Xie, thank you so much.

The students were very enthusiastic.

It's thanks to the school's support. I'm truly grateful.

Thank you for your hard work, Captain Yue.

Actually, I wanted to ask you about someone.

Go ahead.

It's the person you just mentioned,

Ruan Si Xian.

You...

We were classmates before.

Okay.

- Fu Ming Yu is seriously sick! - Fu Ming Yu is seriously sick!

An echo?

Who's copying me?

I've really put up with him for too long.

He even stood me up today.

Come out tonight. I'll tell you all about it over drinks.

Why are you going to Manchester?

Fine, I'm hanging up then.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop.

It's just that your cursing...

was really loud just now.

So what if you heard it?

It's not like you'll go and snitch.

I was just wondering...

who would dare to say such a thing...

on Fu Ming Yu's turf.

The honest truth.

Exactly!

I can tell you hate Fu Ming Yu too.

Come on. Let's go for a drink tonight.

It's rare to find someone else who hates Fu Ming Yu.

I'll pass on the drinks.

I have to meet a friend tonight.

A boyfriend?

No.

Then let's all get to know each other.

The more, the merrier. It's my treat.

I really can't.

Besides, I can't drink while on duty.

Right, you're a pilot.

Then you can just drink water.

Let's go. I'm very easy to get along with.

- No, I really... - Let's go out for a drink tonight.

- I really can't drink. - We'll just chat. Relax a bit.

Sorry.

- Captain Yue. - I'm late.

- Captain Yue. - Sorry, everyone.

I had to change out of my uniform, so I got a bit delayed.

I'm really sorry.

- Please take the head of the table. - No.

Come on. Quick, sit down.

Students, let me tell you.

When we're eating like this, we're like friends.

Really, it's not like when we were in that lecture hall.

After you graduate, we might even be colleagues.

At the very most,

I'll be mentoring a newcomer.

You might call me "Master", but that's about it.

Then we'll call you Master now.

- Hello, Master! - Hello, Master!

No, there's no need for that.

The reason I gathered everyone here today...

is because I felt you all had many questions earlier,

but due to limited time, you didn't get to ask them.

- Yes. - Right.

So I thought...

we could all talk over some drinks.

- All right. - Sure.

So did you guys order any drinks?

- No. - No, we haven't.

Okay, I knew it. I'll go get some.

Just sit here for a bit. - Okay. - Okay.

What are you doing here? Stealing your recruits.

I was afraid that if I waited until after your presentation,

the pretty juniors would've been snatched up by Flight Ops.

I knew it.

Such excellent prospects for the cabin crew.

Hi, everyone. I'm Jiang Zi Yue, a purser at Hengshi.

You can call me Zi Yue.

Hello, Zi Yue.

Why don't you chat with the students?

I'll go order the drinks.

He's the one...

who invited me back for the shoot.

And then?

Every time,

and I mean every single time,

he's never satisfied!

Fine.

If he's not satisfied, I'll redo it.

For this proposal,

I pulled several all-nighters...

and waited for him all afternoon.

And the result?

He didn't even give it a glance.

I...

Please enjoy.

I just don't understand.

How can someone...

get more obnoxious as he grows up?

More obnoxious as he grows up.

You have to follow him every day. It's truly a raw deal.

I'm going to the restroom.

Take it easy on the drinks.

Slow down.

I'll be right back. Right back.

Why are you hanging out with her?

I don't know.

I'm so annoyed.

On my way to the office today,

I ran into her, and she insisted on dragging me out for drinks.

I turned her down a dozen times.

In the end, she still won.

Does she know who you are?

Of course not.

That's good then.

So...

does your mom still send you money every month?

Once every two or three months.

But I haven't touched that card.

I haven't even checked it.

So what is...

your stance now?

Are you ready to patch things up?

Or...

I'm not talking about this now.

The most important thing now is to get her out of here.

Go. Watch her.

Wake up.

Zheng You An.

You're so drunk.

(Release to send)

Come find me.

(Ruan Si Xian)

Come find me.

Go to Fly Hub.

- That hurts. - What are you doing?

Helping you take care of your friend.

No need. We're leaving.

Don't go.

It's still early.

Why is your friend so drunk?

I'll tell you why.

Today,

she broke a man's leg.

She's going to jail.

She's here to drown her sorrows.

You're quite the joker, beautiful.

I'm not joking.

When it comes to beating people up,

I have more experience than her.

Want to find out for yourself?

No, thanks.

I'm leaving.

Bye.

I don't understand what you're so angry about.

Can you keep your voice down?

I'm only here for tomorrow's presentation.

Jiang Zi Yue, I think the two of us should stop beating around the bush.

You should be more upfront.

After we got back from Australia,

you told me we were officially dating.

I can understand keeping it private,

but why act like you're single?

How I present myself is my personal business.

Well, a lot of things are my personal business too.

Does that mean I can say whatever I want?

Captain Yue.

Yes, you're right.

I was wrong.

What were you wrong about?

I should have considered your feelings.

Right?

But you saw it yourself.

Just now, including me, there were 12 people.

Eight guys and four girls.

What could I have possibly done? Right?

Fine.

Just treat me like a child.

I'm just being rebellious.

Then why were you so mean to me?

I...

I'm sorry.

Let's go.

Mr. Fu, you came. They're inside.

- Okay, thank you. - No problem.

Do you want a drink?

No.

She's the one who wants to drink.

So it's because of her...

that you called me here?

Why else?

She's drinking because of you.

Hurry up and take her away.

I'm exhausted and want to go home to sleep.

Why do you say it's because of me?

She said so herself.

You angered her to tears, so you deal with it.

I've made many women cry.

Do I have to apologize to every one of them?

That's not what I meant.

Don't touch me.

I have my own driver!

I'm cutting all ties with you!

From now on,

you go your way,

and I'll go mine.

Wait, no.

I'll take the high road,

and you take the narrow bridge.

You don't think everyone in the world...

likes you, do you?

You're really full of yourself.

In this world,

plenty of people don't like you!

So many people don't like you!

See her home safely. Let me know when she's there.

Yes, sir.

Don't let her get out halfway.

- Understood, Mr. Fu. - Go on.

Hey, beautiful.

Your friend is gone.

Go away. Don't bother me.

If you're upset, you should drink more.

I can't stand to see a beautiful woman looking so sad.

Come on. Today, let's blow off some steam.

Let's drink until we drop!

I'm warning you.

If you touch me again, I'll slap you!

Sir.

Are you drunk?

Do you want me to take you...

to the police station nearby to cool off?

It's not far, just up ahead.

No.

Fine.

Today, for the sake of the beautiful boss...

Next time.

Next time, beautiful, we must exchange WeChat info.

Next time? Exchange WeChat? Get lost!

What a piece of work.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine. What could be wrong?

Did Fu Ming Yu leave?

I told him to take Zheng You An home.

You let him take another woman home?

You're so open-minded.

Why not? What does it have to do with me?

You let him take another woman home,

and you say it's none of your business?

Oh dear.

I'll get him some ice for his face.

Tong Le!

Quick, get ice!

Do you feel better now?

I do.

Good.

It's time to go home.

I'll take you.

Was my slap that strong?

Is it that funny?

Why are you looking at your hand?

My hand...

hurts.

Maybe "Captain" Ruan doesn't know...

that force is reciprocal.

Get in.

Goodbye, Mr. Fu.

Really?

Ruan Ruan slapped him?

Great.

That was a good slap.

So Ruan Ruan is no longer angry.

But won't Fu Ming Yu be angry?

If you were slapped for no reason, wouldn't you be angry?

What's more, he's the high and mighty Mr. Fu.

What should we do?

Now that he's angry,

will he settle old scores...

and make us pay for the car repairs?

Stop right there.

Stop saying "us".

I wasn't the one who hit his car,

and I wasn't the one who slapped him.

Xuan,

you can't just leave me to die.

Stop bothering me.

I'm doing the accounts.

Wait, that's not right.

Ruan Ruan was the one who slapped him.

Fighting is a sign of affection.

Maybe that slap will actually...

bring them together.

Unless...

this Fu Ming Yu...

has Stockholm...

syndrome.

Here to see the patient?

Here, take this.

It'll be much better tomorrow.

What's this? Repair serum.

It's very effective.

I don't need that.

It really works.

I use it all the time.

Do you get slapped often?

No.

The high-altitude UV rays are intense on some flight routes.

My face gets red and irritated, so I use it frequently.

Then apply it for me.

Does it hurt?

What?

Are you worried about me?

Who's worried?

I was just thinking...

I don't have super strength,

so how did I hit you so hard?

Is it hot in here?

Why is your face so red?

Are you applying medicine,

or are you just caressing me?

What do you think?

Are you even a woman?

If I were a man,

and I slapped you like that,

I probably would have knocked your brains out.

If you were a man,

would I have been so indulgent?

Anyway...

I'm sorry.

I mistook you for a creep today,

so I hit you a bit too hard.

Bear with me.

Let's just say...

we're even now.

We can't be even.

Fu Ming Yu...

doesn't seem like such a petty person.

I'm just praying...

that he's magnanimous.

As long as he doesn't make me pay for those car repairs,

if Ruan Ruan loses her job,

I'm willing to give her...

2,000 yuan a month for her living expenses...

until she finds another job.

2,000 yuan?

You're so generous.

I never would have guessed.

But with your salary,

is it even enough for your car loan?

Then what should we do?

Have you ever seen an employee...

hit their boss and get away with it?

Stop being more worried than the person involved.

Ruan Ruan hasn't even said anything.

Yeah, she didn't say anything.

But didn't you say it yourself?

She looked totally dejected when she left.

She was dejected,

but then she started laughing.

She even laughed out loud.

She laughed?

Three years ago,

I misunderstood you.

And I said a lot of nasty things.

I don't want to be Hengshi's flight attendant anymore.

- I want to be... - The boss's wife?

You're better off dreaming.

I've seen plenty of these shameful tactics you're using.

If you have this much time and energy,

you should focus on your actual job.

I think you just don't want to work hard at all.

But I didn't know then...

that you did it for the Soar Initiative.

All of this was because of my arrogance.

And I didn't show you enough respect.

But I'm glad...

that through your own efforts,

you've become an excellent pilot.

If I had ruined someone's dream,

when I look back late at night,

I think I would feel deeply ashamed...

of my mistake.

But even if I had read your letter back then,

I'm sorry,

the Soar Initiative...

would still have been canceled.

Because Hengshi's pilots...

were facing overstaffing...

and aircraft model reforms.

If we had continued the Soar Initiative,

it would have only accelerated layoffs at Hengshi.

It wouldn't have just been the end of a few people's dreams.

Many families would have had...

to bear the consequences...

along with Hengshi.

What do you mean by saying this now?

Is this an apology convention?

You just said we're even.

I think I still owe you a formal apology.

I can't let this one slap...

erase what I owe you.

I also hope that you...

can forgive the person I was...

who was so vulgar and rude...

three years ago.

I've already moved on.

Then we're even.

He isn't waiting for me, is he?

Ms. Ruan, what a coincidence.

It is.

Did you call a car yet?

Not yet.

Let's go, or we'll be late.

Thank you.

Ms. Ruan,

are you really pursuing Mr. Fu?

Driver, please pull over.

Someone wants to get off.

But we're in the middle of nowhere.

How can you be like this? This is just how I am.

Either that, or you shut up.

How did I get home?

Who should I ask?

Fu Ming Yu?

I don't know how to explain it to him.

Ruan Si Xian?

Right after I finished badmouthing him,

Fu Ming Yu showed up at the bar.

Backstabber.

It will have to be you.

Xuan, I drank a bit too much last night.

Sorry for the trouble.

By the way, let me ask you something.

How did I get home?

Fu Ming Yu took you home.

I knew it.

Then after that, did anything happen with Ruan Si Xian?

(Bian Xuan)

Nothing much.

She just slapped Fu Ming Yu in the face.

As expected of a female pilot.

She actually slapped him.

What a world we live in.

Just as I hoped.

An An, I'm coming in.

Look at you. Why did you drink so much?

You must have a headache.

Here. I made you some honey water.

Drink up.

But I have something to tell you.

Do you remember that female pilot from Hengshi?

The one I took photos of.

I have a vague impression. What about her?

Last night,

she hit Fu Ming Yu.

She hit Fu Ming Yu?

And...

it was a slap in the face.

Why?

I was so drunk.

How would I know why?

But that guy Fu Ming Yu...

had it coming.

It's only natural to hit him.

Don't worry too much.

He's a grown man. One slap won't kill him.

Last night, when he brought me back,

did you see his face?

- Was it swollen? - He didn't bring you back.

His chauffeur did.

Then he deserved to be hit even more.

I knew it.

How could he possibly bring me back?

I'm going to send Ms. Ruan...

a message of congratulations.

My dear Ms. Ruan, you're amazing!

This slap really vented my frustration.

Sending this to congratulate you.

I'll treat you to a drink another day.

Drinking again?

None of this would have happened without the alcohol.

- And if it hadn't happened... - What do you mean?

- Am I not welcome here? - I wouldn't dare.

I have a meeting with the Safety Committee later.

Mr. Fu takes it very seriously.

So I came over myself.

Captain Fan...

Is there any hope for Captain Fan's return?

Who knows?

The focus is on today's simulation.

We'll just have to wait and see.

- Okay, I'll let you get back to it. - Okay.

Go ahead.

That's why I'm telling you,

from now on, the data must be verified.

Let's go.

What is this now?

Can't you tell?

It's my workstation.

A massage chair.

Young Master,

did you come to my studio to retire?

Think about it from my perspective.

How many days of hard labor have I done for you?

Shouldn't I at least sit comfortably?

Then should I prepare a fruit platter for you,

along with some tea?

Maybe I should hire two people to wait on you.

No need.

I have all of those things...

back at Bo'ao.

But seriously,

do you have any employee benefits here?

Like, for example, team-building activities.

I've been under a lot of pressure lately.

I really need to go out and relax.

I haven't even opened for business yet,

and you're asking for team building?

Are you here to reform the workplace?

I'm not joking.

I'll take you to Ma'ao.

I'm not joking either.

With my studio in this state...

and the situation at home,

how heartless do you think I am... to go on a trip with you?

I'll cover all the expenses.

That must include flights, hotels,

and shopping. A one-stop service.

It's not like I can't consider it.

But it has to be after my parents' wedding anniversary.

It's mainly for our team's cohesion.

Sir, the massage chair has been installed. Please sign here.

- Done. - Thank you.

Why do I feel like with you in this studio,

it'll go bust sooner or later?

Let me tell you, Zheng You An.

This studio of yours won't go bust precisely because I'm here.

Life is only 30,000 days long.

Shouldn't I make myself comfortable?

Today, the emergency we're simulating is...

based on Hengshi Flight 2076,

on which a passenger suffered a sudden heart attack.

The flight has to land within 15 minutes...

to ensure the passenger receives timely care.

Four simulators will set four different decisions.

Simulator 1 is Captain Fan.

She will maintain the flight condition of that day,

with a bank angle of no more than 45 degrees.

Simulator 2 will avoid an overweight landing...

by circling to burn fuel.

Simulator 3 will remain on autopilot.

The subsequent decision is an overweight landing.

Simulator 4 will also disconnect the autopilot,

matching Captain Fan's decision.

Then we can begin.

Jiangcheng, Hengshi 2076.

Hengshi 2076, go ahead.

We have a passenger who fainted on board.

The medical personnel on board are doing their best to treat them.

They need immediate emergency care.

Requesting radar guidance for return.

Contact our base and relevant departments.

Hengshi 2076, roger that.

Radar guidance. Turn right heading 210.

Descend 42.

Descend 42.

(Simulator 1: Disconnect autopilot, Bank angle up to 45 degrees)

(Stable flight condition)

We are currently overweight.

Estimated circling time to burn fuel is 30 minutes.

(Simulator 2: Stay on autopilot, Circle to burn fuel)

We'll maintain autopilot.

Maximum bank angle 30 degrees.

Simulator 4.

Disconnecting autopilot now.

Maintaining a bank angle of no more than 45 degrees.

Next, the four captains begin their landings.

Simulator 1, preparing to land.

One hundred.

Forty. Thirty.

Twenty. Ten.

(Simulator 1: Time spent: 9 minutes, 45 seconds)

(No warnings triggered)

Simulator 1 has landed.

Simulator 4, preparing to land.

(Simulator 4: Time spent: 11 minutes, 21 seconds)

(Unstable flight condition)

Simulator 4 has landed.

Simulator 3, preparing to land.

Fifty.

Forty.

Thirty. Twenty.

Ten.

(Simulator 3: Time spent: 15 minutes, 15 seconds)

(Triggered QAR710 hard landing warning)

Simulator 3 has landed.

Simulator 2,

estimated landing in 15 minutes.

Simulator 2 has landed.

(Simulator 2: Time spent: 31 minutes, 45 seconds)

(No warnings triggered)

All four simulator crews have completed their landings.

It's easy to see that...

Simulator 2, to avoid an overweight landing,

chose to circle and burn fuel,

extending the landing time...

to 31 minutes and 45 seconds.

This is much longer than Captain Fan's time,

costing the passenger precious time to receive medical treatment.

Simulator 3,

during an overweight landing,

failed to effectively control the aircraft's rate of descent,

triggering a QAR hard landing warning.

The time taken was slightly over 15 minutes.

Simulator 4 made the same decision as Captain Fan.

They disconnected the autopilot...

and kept the bank angle...

within the CAAC standard of 45 degrees.

Although they landed successfully,

the fuselage was severely unstable,

and the time was 1 minute and 36 seconds...

longer than Captain Fan's.

As for Captain Fan's flight data and performance,

I believe everyone here has seen it for themselves,

so I won't elaborate further.

Look.

To save everyone's time,

I have three other sets of experimental data here.

These three sets of data...

are from simulation replays...

based on the same emergency.

All the flight data is right here.

The mission for these three simulators...

was to absolutely avoid triggering the QAR.

So, to avoid a heavy landing,

the three captains either chose...

to circle and burn fuel...

or to remain on autopilot.

But without exception, they all exceeded...

the 15-minute requirement for diversion.

At the same time, they missed...

the patient's golden hour for rescue.

Aside from the other results,

the only captain to have landed within 15 minutes today...

still had a time difference...

of 1 minute and 36 seconds compared to Captain Fan Lei.

One minute and 36 seconds.

A seemingly insignificant margin,

but it's highly likely...

to be the window between life and death.

Fortunately, however, this patient...

received timely treatment that day...

and is now recovering at home.

(To the SH2076 crew for their skill in crisis and heartwarming service)

(Presented by Ms. Xu, a Jiangcheng passenger)

This banner...

is the passenger's recognition and commendation...

for our entire crew.

Our crew members...

used their expertise...

not only to save a life,

but also a family's future.

They ensured the safety...

of the passengers' lives and property.

At the same time, they prevented a serious accident from occurring.

If we ground a captain like this,

it will be a loss for all of Hengshi.

This emergency also reminded us...

that the QAR...

shouldn't be the only measure of flight quality.

The reform of the QAR standards...

is imperative.

(After deliberation, the Hengshi Air Safety Committee has decided...)

(to lift Fan Lei's grounded status.)

(Jiangcheng International Airport)

Can I help you?

Ms. Ruan,

you seem like a decent person.

You helped Captain Fan regain her flying status, right?

Does my mentor have her flying status back?

You didn't know?

I thought you asked Mr. Fu for help.

Mom.

You're back.

Why are you standing there? Come here.

You asked me to come back.

Is there something you need?

Why are you wearing a mask this late at night?

I'm having an allergic reaction on my face.

Here's the thing.

Mr. Zheng and his wife...

are celebrating their wedding anniversary.

They've invited us.

I thought if it were anyone else, I'd just skip it.

But they invited our whole family.

If only your dad and I go, it wouldn't seem right.

But can you go in your condition?

I can. It's no problem.

- Is it serious? - No, not at all.

Take off the mask and let me see.

No, I had better keep it on.

- Let me see. - Mom.

Let me look.

I'm fine. I'm totally fine.

I've already applied the medicine. I don't want you to catch it.

By the way,

I saw that pearl necklace of yours.

It has been sitting there for several days now.

Why haven't you given it away yet?

This is perfect timing.

You can give it to Mrs. Zheng.

All right.

I wonder if Ms. Dong...

would even care for such material items.

I just don't get it. Look, it's a second marriage.

What's there to celebrate?

To be honest,

I don't even want you to go.

It's bad luck.

Mom, it's getting late.

You should get some rest. I'll head back now.

- Head back where? - Back to Mingchen.

What's so good about Mingchen?

You don't even want to come home anymore.

(Departing Ep. 9 for Ep. 10)
