Miss Zheng.

Did your boss say

when he'll be done?

I've already waited

nearly an hour.

Sorry about that.

Mr. Fu is busy at the training center.

Even on his way back,

it may take a while.

Maybe

have some water while you wait?

More water?

- Fu Mingyu is such a jerk. - Fu Mingyu is such a jerk.

Echo?

Who's mimicking me?

Fifty.

Thirty.

Twenty.

Retard.

Good work, you two.

How did it go?

There is indeed

a seven-minute overlap

in timing

with Captain Fan's situation that day.

But I think Captain Fan

did her absolute best.

Okay.

I understand.

But

cross-check

the flight data again.

No problem.

I'll head off then.

Go ahead.

Yeah.

Goodbye, Mr. Fu.

What's up?

Let me brief you.

All the relevant executives

and the safety committee

have all been notified.

Also,

Mr. He has

scheduled an impromptu dinner

for you this evening.

It's a bit of a drive,

and several core board members

of Hengshi

will be there.

So he needs you

to get there early to prepare.

Let's set off now then.

Also, let Zheng You'an know

not to wait for me.

Yeah.

No time for that.

Let's go.

Okay.

Mr. Fang.

You're quite the eager beaver.

I haven't even

had a sip of my coffee yet.

Just letting you know.

I see you've got the simulator

scheduled for tomorrow and the day after.

Yeah.

Tomorrow and the day after

the company has other plans,

all training is to be suspended.

Why?

Mr. Fu's orders.

Him again.

Come on, let's start.

I'll skip the coffee.

Um.

It's been almost three hours.

When is he coming back?

Sorry, I was just about to tell you.

Mr. Fu has other plans today.

He won't be back.

He won't be back?

Right, he won't.

Thank you.

Who does he think he is?

Welcome back to our school anytime.

Thanks for having me.

One by one, one by one.

Great work.

Actually, we could

grab a bite somewhere,

and if you have questions,

feel free to ask me.

Really? Yes!

Where are we eating?

Will it be expensive?

Just somewhere nearby.

Let's find a good spot, okay?

Sure.

I know a great

hotpot place nearby.

Perfect.

That's it then.

Alright.

Captain Yue.

Excuse me.

Mr. Xie.

Thank you so much.

The students are so enthusiastic.

Thanks to the school's support.

Really, thank you.

Thank you for your time, Captain Yue.

Actually, I

wanted

to ask about someone.

Go ahead.

The one you mentioned earlier.

Ruan Sixian.

You...

We used to be classmates.

I see.

- Fu Mingyu is such a jerk. - Fu Mingyu is such a jerk.

Echo?

Who's mimicking me?

[I've put up with him way too long.]

[And today he stood me up.]

[Come out tonight and]

[I'll tell you all about it over drinks.]

Why are you going to Manchester?

Anyway, I gotta go.

I wasn't trying to eavesdrop.

It's just that you were cursing

so loudly.

So what if you heard?

You're not gonna tattle, are you?

I just think

who in Fu Mingyu's territory

would say something

so brutally honest?

Right?

I can tell you hate him too.

Come on,

let's grab drinks tonight.

It's rare to meet someone

who also hates Fu Mingyu.

I'll skip the drinks.

I have to meet a friend tonight.

Boyfriend?

No.

Then let's all meet up.

Drinking's more fun with more people.

My treat.

I really can't.

Besides, I can't drink on duty.

Right, right, right.

You're a pilot, after all.

Water's fine for you.

Come on, come on.

I'm easy to get along with.

No, I really...

Let's go out for drinks.

I really can't.

Just chat

and unwind.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Captain Yue.

I'm late, I'm late.

Captain Yue.

Sorry, everyone.

I had to change out of my uniform.

That's why I'm late.

My apologies, really.

Take the head seat.

No, no, no.

Come on.

Sit down.

Sit.

Alright, everyone.

When we eat together like this,

we're just friends.

Not like earlier

in the lecture hall.

Perhaps after you graduate,

we might become colleagues.

At most,

I'd be your senior mentor,

and you'll call me "instructor."

That's it.

Then we'll call you instructor!

Hello, instructor!

No, no.

Don't, don't.

Today

I gathered everyone here

just because earlier

you all had questions,

but time was limited,

so you couldn't ask.

Right, right.

So I figured

now that we're all together,

we can chat over drinks.

Great, sure.

So, did you order drinks?

No, we didn't.

Figured as much.

I'll go get some.

You all sit tight.

Okay.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

Poaching recruits.

Afraid that if I waited

until after my pitch,

the pretty juniors would already

be snatched up by your flight department.

See?

Such good cabin crew material.

Hello everyone,

I'm the purser of Hengshi Airlines,

Jiang Ziyue.

You can call me Ziyue.

Hello, Ziyue.

You guys chat for a bit.

I'll go order drinks.

It was him

who invited me to film for him.

And guess what?

Every single time,

I mean, every single time,

he's never satisfied.

Fine.

I'll redo it.

This latest version,

I pulled several all-nighters for it.

Waited for him all afternoon,

and what happened?

He didn't even look at it.

I...

Enjoy..

I don't get it.

How can someone

get more insufferable as they age?

Insufferable!

You have to put up with him every day,

it must be miserable.

I'm going to the restroom.

Take it easy on the drinks.

Easy on the drinks.

Be right back.

You...

How did you end up with her?

I don't know.

I'm so done with this.

I ran into her on my way

to the office today.

She insisted on dragging me out for drinks.

I said no like a dozen times.

In the end,

she won.

Does she know who you are?

Of course not.

Good.

So

does your mom still

send you money every month?

Once every couple months, I guess,

but I've never touched that card,

never even checked it.

So what's your

stance now?

Are you patching things up,

or...

Let's not get into that.

What matters now

is getting rid of her.

Go.

keep an eye on her.

Wake up.

Zheng You'an.

Getting this drunk.

Come to find me.

Come to find me.

Go to Fulai.

Ouch.

What are you doing?

Helping you look after your friend.

No need.

We're about to leave.

Don't go.

It's still early.

How did your friend get so drunk?

Want to know why?

Today she

broke a man's leg,

and is headed to jail,

so she's drowning her sorrows.

You're funny, miss.

I'm not joking.

When it comes to beating people up,

I have way more experience.

Wanna try?

No thanks.

I'm leaving.

Bye.

I just don't get

what you're so mad about.

Can you keep it down?

I'm just

here for tomorrow's pitch.

Jiang Ziyue,

I think we should

stop dancing around this.

Just be straight with me.

When you came back from Australia,

you told me

we were officially dating.

I get not going public,

but why the whole "single" act?

What image I project

is my own business.

Well, a lot of things

are my own business too.

So can I just

say whatever I want?

Captain Yue?

Okay, you're right.

I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for?

I should've considered your feelings,

right?

But you saw,

back there,

including me,

there were twelve of us.

Eight guys, four girls.

What could I possibly do?

Right?

Alright.

Just think of me as a kid

being rebellious.

But you snapped at me.

I...

I'm sorry.

Let's go.

Mr. Fu,

they're inside.

Thanks.

No problem.

You wanted to drink?

No.

She did.

So you called me over

just for her?

What else?

She came to drink because of you.

Just get her out of here.

I'm dead tired and want to sleep.

Why is it because of me?

She said so.

You made her cry,

you fix it.

I've made plenty of women cry.

Do I have to apologize to each one?

That's not what I meant.

Don't touch me.

I have my own driver.

I'm cutting ties with you.

From now on, we part ways.

You take the easy road,

I the rough one.

No, scratch that.

I get the easy road,

you get the rough one.

You don't actually think

everyone in the world likes you, do you?

You're delusional.

There are

plenty of people who don't.

Loads of people who don't like you.

Get her home safe

and let me know.

Yes, sir.

Don't let her out halfway.

Okay, Mr. Fu.

Go.

Hey, pretty lady.

Your friend left.

Get lost.

Leave me alone.

You're upset, so you should drink more.

I can't stand seeing

a beautiful woman upset.

Come on.

Tonight, let's

drink like kindred spirits,

no leaving till we're drunk.

I'm warning you.

If you get handsy again,

I'll slap you.

Sir,

are you drunk?

Want me to take you to

the police station up front to cool off?

It's close, right up ahead.

No, no, no.

Fine,

for the sake of

the pretty boss.

Next time,

next time, pretty lady,

I'm getting your WeChat.

Next time, huh?

What WeChat? Get lost.

What a creep.

Are you okay?

I'm fine, what could happen?

Fu Mingyu left?

I had him drop Zheng You'an off home.

You let him drop another woman off home?

You're really something.

What else was I supposed to do?

Not my problem.

You let him drop another woman off home

and say it's not your problem?

Get him some ice for his face.

Tong Le,

hurry, get the ice.

Feel better now?

Much better.

Good.

Time to go home, isn't it?

I'll drop you home.

[Was my slap really that hard?]

Is it that funny?

Why are you looking at your hand?

It

hurts.

"Captain" Ruan probably doesn't know,

every action has an equal reaction.

Get in.

Goodbye, Mr. Fu.

For real?

Sixian slapped him?

Nice.

That slap was well deserved.

So Sixian's cooled off.

But wouldn't Fu Mingyu be mad?

If someone slapped you for no reason,

wouldn't you be?

Especially since he's

the great Mr. Fu.

Oh no, what do we do?

If he gets mad,

will he dig up old scores

and make us pay for the car?

Stop right there.

Don't group me in.

I didn't crash the car,

and I didn't slap him.

Xuan.

You can't just abandon us.

Stop bugging me here.

I'm doing the accounts.

But that's not right.

It was Sixian who slapped him.

Teasing is a sign of fondness.

Maybe that one slap

brought them together.

Unless

Fu Mingyu

has Stockholm

syndrome.

Here to see the wounded?

Here, for you.

It'll be much better tomorrow.

What's this?

Repair serum.

Works great.

I don't use that stuff.

It really works.

I use it all the time.

You get hit that often?

No.

On some routes,

the UV at altitude is brutal,

my face gets red,

so I use it often.

Help put it on me.

Does it hurt?

What?

Feeling sorry for me?

Who's feeling sorry?

I was just wondering

I don't even have a strong hand,

how did it hit so hard?

Is my place hot or something?

Why's your face red?

Are you applying medicine

or feeling me up?

You tell me.

Are you even a woman?

If I were a man,

that slap of mine

would've knocked your brains

right out of your head.

If you were a man,

would I be so lenient with you?

Um.

I'm sorry.

I mistook you for a pervert today,

so I hit harder than I should.

Forgive me.

I guess

we're even now.

Not even.

Fu Mingyu doesn't seem

like the kind of person

who's petty.

I'm just praying

he's magnanimous.

As long as he doesn't make me pay

for the car repairs,

if Sixian loses her job,

I'll pitch in two thousand

every month

for her living expenses

until she finds work.

Two thousand?

How generous.

Wouldn't have guessed.

But your salary

can cover your car loan.

Then what do we do?

Have you ever seen an employee

slap their boss

and get away scot-free?

Don't

borrow trouble.

Sixian hasn't even said a word.

Right, she hasn't.

Didn't you say

she was totally deflated when she left?

Yeah, totally deflated.

But then she smiled.

Even laughed out loud.

Laughed?

Three years ago,

I misjudged you

and said some awful things.

I don't want to be a flight attendant.

I want to be...

Mistress of a house?

Keep dreaming.

All these

underhanded tricks,

I've seen plenty.

If you have

that much time and energy,

you could

focus on your actual job.

You don't want to

work hard at all.

But back then I didn't know

you were doing it for the Wings Initiative.

All of it

was because of my arrogance.

And I failed

to give you proper respect.

But I'm glad

you became

a truly

excellent pilot on your own.

If because of that,

I'd crushed someone's dream,

late at night,

I think I'd

feel ashamed

of my own mistake.

But even if

I'd read your letter,

I'm sorry,

the Wings Initiative

would still have been canceled.

Because back then Hengshi

had an excess of pilots

and fleet restructuring issues.

If we'd continued

the Wings Initiative,

it would only have sped up layoffs.

That's not just

a few shattered dreams,

it would've been many families

bearing the consequences

along with Hengshi.

What are you trying to say?

Is today the day of apologies?

You just said we were even.

I still think I owe you

a formal apology.

One slap can't

wipe out what I owe you.

I also hope you

can forgive

the crude

and rude man I was.

I've moved on.

Then we're even.

He's not waiting for me, is he?

Miss Ruan.

What a coincidence.

Yeah.

Did you get a ride?

Not yet.

Come on,

or you'll be late again.

Thanks.

Miss Ruan.

Are you really pursuing Mr. Fu?

Driver.

Please pull over,

someone's getting off.

There's nothing around here.

How could you?

That's just how I am.

So shut up.

How did I get home last night?

Who am I supposed to ask?

Fu Mingyu?

Still don't know

how to explain it to him.

Ruan Sixian?

I was just trashing him with her yesterday,

and then he showed up at the bar.

She betrayed me.

It had to be you.

Xuan,

I drank a bit too much yesterday,

sorry for the trouble.

Um, let me ask,

how did I get home?

Fu Mingyu had his driver take you.

I knew it.

So

is Ruan Sixian okay?

She's fine.

She just

slapped Fu Mingyu.

As expected of a female pilot.

She slapped him.

Just what

I wished to do.

You'an,

I'm coming in.

Look at you,

why'd you drink so much?

Headache, huh?

Here,

I made you some honey water.

Drink up.

There's something

I need to tell you.

That female pilot at Hengshi,

remember her?

The one I photographed.

Vaguely.

What about her?

Last night she

slapped Fu Mingyu.

She actually hit Fu Mingyu.

And

it was in his face.

Why?

I was that drunk,

how would I know why?

But Fu Mingyu

deserved it anyway.

One slap is nothing.

Don't worry so much.

He's a grown man.

One slap won't break him.

Last night

when he brought me back,

did you see his face?

Was it swollen?

He didn't bring you back,

his driver did.

Then he deserved it even more.

I knew it.

He would never drive me home.

I should send Miss Ruan

a congratulatory message.

Miss Ruan,

badass.

That slap

just avenged all my grievances.

Consider this my congratulations.

I'll buy you a drink sometime.

More drinks?

Without drinking,

none of this would've happened...

What do you mean?

Not welcome?

Wouldn't dare.

There's a safety committee meeting soon.

Mr. Fu takes it very seriously,

so I came over myself.

Captain Fan.

Any chance Captain Fan returns to flying?

Who knows?

Today's simulation is what matters.

We'll see.

I won't take up your time.

Okay.

Bye.

So like I said,

from now on, double-check

all data in the reports.

Let's go.

What's this?

Can't you tell?

My workstation.

A massage chair.

Young Master,

here to loaf around in my studio?

Put yourself in my shoes.

I've been slaving away

here as your laborer for days.

Least I deserve is a comfortable seat.

Should I

also prepare a fruit platter

with some tea,

and hire two people

to wait on you?

No need.

I have it all

at Bo'ao Airways.

But seriously,

does your place

have any employee perks?

Like,

team-building trips?

I've been so stressed lately,

I really need a getaway.

My studio isn't even open yet,

and you want team-building?

You're here

to shake things up, huh?

I'm serious.

Take you to Ma Ao.

I'm serious too.

Look at my studio

and my family situation.

How carefree would I have to be

to travel with you?

I'll cover everything.

So flights, hotel,

shopping.

All-inclusive.

I could consider it.

But only after my parents'

wedding anniversary.

Mainly for

team cohesion.

Boss, the massage chair's installed,

please sign here.

Done.

Thanks.

I'm starting to feel

like with you around,

this studio's doomed.

I'm telling you, Zheng You'an,

your studio

wouldn't survive without me.

Life's a mere thirty thousand days,

we should make ourselves comfortable.

Today

the emergency we're simulating

is based on flight Hengshi 2076

when a passenger onboard

suffered a sudden heart attack,

completing the landing within 15 minutes,

so the passenger gets timely care.

Four simulators

with four different strategies.

Simulator 1: Captain Fan.

She'll maintain

the flying state from that day,

with bank no more than 45 degrees.

Simulator 2

avoids an overweight landing

by orbiting to burn fuel.

Simulator 3

keeps the autopilot engaged

then decides

on an overweight landing.

Simulator 4

disengages the autopilot,

matching Captain Fan's decision.

Then let's begin.

Riverton, Hengshi 2076.

Hengshi 2076, go ahead.

We have a passenger who fainted.

A doctor onboard

is treating her.

She needs urgent care.

Requesting return and radar vector.

Contact ground and relevant.

Hengshi 2076, roger.

Radar vectors.

Turn right heading 210.

Descend to 4200.

Descend to 4200.

We're overweight now, expecting to

orbit and burn fuel for 30 minutes.

We keep the autopilot engaged

with max bank 30 degrees.

Simulator 4,

we're disengaging the autopilot,

keeping bank

no more than 45 degrees.

Next, the four captains

begin landing one by one.

Simulator 1, ready to land.

One hundred.

Forty.

Thirty.

Twenty.

Ten.

Simulator 1 has landed.

Simulator 4, ready to land.

Simulator 4 has landed.

Simulator 3, ready to land.

Fifty.

Forty.

Thirty.

Twenty.

Ten.

Simulator 3 has landed.

Simulator 2,

estimated landing in 15 minutes.

Simulator 2 has landed.

All four simulator crews

have landed.

As we can plainly see,

Simulator 2,

to avoid an overweight landing,

chose to orbit and burn fuel,

extending the landing time to

31 minutes 45 seconds,

far longer than Captain Fan's time,

delaying

the patient's critical care.

Simulator 3,

during

a heavy-weight landing,

failed to effectively control

the aircraft's sink rate,

triggering QAR

hard-landing warning,

finishing just over 15 minutes.

Simulator 4

adopted the same strategy

as Captain Fan,

disengaging the autopilot,

keeping the bank within

the CAAC standard

of 45 degrees.

Although landing was successful,

the aircraft was significantly unstable,

and the time was 1 minute 36 seconds

longer than Captain Fan's.

As for

Captain Fan's flight data

and performance,

I believe everyone here

witnessed it firsthand,

so I won't go over it again.

Sir.

To save

everyone's time,

I now have

three more sets of

experimental data.

These three sets were all

conducted under the same emergency

for post-flight simulation.

All flight data

is all right here.

The task for these three simulators

was absolutely not to

trigger the QAR,

so the three captains,

to avoid a hard landing,

either kept orbiting to burn fuel,

or kept the autopilot engaged.

But without exception,

all exceeded

the 15-minute diversion requirement,

and missed the patient's

golden rescue window.

Aside from other results,

the only captain today who landed

within 15 minutes

also trailed Captain Fan Lei

by 1 minute 36 seconds

in time.

1 minute 36 seconds,

a seemingly tiny gap,

but it could very well be

when the death knell tolls.

But thankfully,

this patient

received timely treatment that day

and has been discharged to recover at home.

This banner

is the passenger's

recognition and

appreciation for our entire crew.

Our crew,

with their professionalism,

not only saved a life,

but even a family's future,

and guaranteed the safety

of every passenger onboard

while also averting

a potential accident.

A captain like this,

if we keep her grounded,

it would be Hengshi's loss.

This emergency also

reminds us that

QAR

should not be

the sole metric

for flight quality.

And reforming

the QAR system

is imperative.

What's up?

Miss Ruan.

You're actually not a bad person.

You helped Captain Fan get back to flying, right?

She's reinstated?

You didn't know?

I thought

you'd asked Mr. Fu to help.

Mom.

You're back.

Why are you standing there?

Come here.

Why did you call me back?

What's the matter?

Why are you wearing a mask at night?

I have some allergies on my face.

Here's the thing.

Mr. Zheng and his wife

are celebrating their anniversary,

and they've invited us.

If it were anyone else,

I'd have said no.

But they invited our whole family.

Just your dad and I going

would seem a bit off.

But can you go with your condition?

I can, no problem.

Is it serious?

Not really.

Take off the mask and let me see.

Better not.

Let me see it.

Mom.

Let me see.

It's nothing.

It's totally fine.

I've already applied medicine.

Don't want to pass it to you.

Oh, and

that pearl necklace of yours

has been sitting there

for days.

Why haven't you given it away yet?

Perfect.

You can take it to Mrs. Zheng

Okay.

Who knows if she

would even fancy these tacky things.

I just can't understand.

You know,

a second marriage,

what's there to celebrate?

To be honest,

I'd rather you not go,

it's bad luck.

Mom.

It's getting late,

you should rest.

I'll head back.

Back where?

Mingchen.

What's so good about Mingchen?

You won't even stay at home.
