Chapter 46: Successful Pilot Application

"Although it happened a long time ago, it is still vivid in my mind; it was a transoceanic flight, and when the aircraft malfunctioned, it happened right over the Bering Strait."

"At that moment the fuselage tilted violently, the rudder deviated severely and jammed completely; the instant I discovered the fault, I contacted the control tower of the nearest airport."

"After more than two hours of gliding, the aircraft finally entered the runway at a sideways angle; fortunately the direction was corrected in time, and the plane came to a steady stop, with none of the 386 passengers injured."

"During the post‑flight inspection we found the Tail Power Control Module completely damaged; an overloaded piston caused the rudder to deflect and jam."

After speaking, Xu Mo couldn't help but point to the small scar on his face.

"This scar is the one left from that incident."

"A scar of this size shouldn't affect my future career, right?"

Even as he spoke, Xu Mo's face showed anxiety and unease.

It seemed as if he were worried the scar would affect his becoming a Pilot.

Without a second thought, the manager shook his head.

"No, this is civil aviation, not a fighter jet. Such a small scar doesn't matter. Besides, can a scar be the same as an ordinary one? This is honor! If anyone dares to say this scar will affect your career, I'll go after them!"

Hearing that, a barely perceptible smile appeared at Xu Mo's corner of the mouth.

Before coming here, he had already looked it up online.

All Airline Companies are short of Pilots.

As for those Pilots who once relied on rich experience and strong mental fortitude to save a plane's lives,

need not be mentioned further.

Which Airline Company wouldn't need such talent?

This small scar not only won't affect a Pilot's career.

On the contrary, it will earn the respect of the Airline Company staff.

It can greatly increase the chances of a successful application.

It is worth mentioning that the manager who received Xu Mo once also dreamed of becoming a Pilot.

However, due to various reasons, he never became a Pilot and settled for a job at an Airline Company instead.

Deep down, this manager greatly admires, even envies, Pilots.

Let alone heroic Pilots like Xu Mo.

In his view, the scar on Xu Mo's face is pure honor.

In the brief exchange, the manager not only didn't doubt Xu Mo's status as a Pilot,

but actually his image in the manager's mind was very lofty.

He already seemed like a heroic figure.

He could never have imagined that the person standing before him

wasn't a Pilot at all, couldn't even fly a plane.

He hadn't even stepped into a cockpit.

He couldn't have thought so.

Because he had already preconceived Xu Mo as a hero.

a Pilot with extremely seasoned experience.

In fact, the story just told was a real incident Xu Mo found online.

Because his brain cells' activity increased by two points, Xu Mo's rote memorization ability improved considerably.

During the two days at the hotel, he did nothing.

He spent the time memorizing all kinds of data of passenger aircraft and the methods to make a plane land safely when encountering various faults.

Whether the manager now asks Xu Mo for any aircraft data or operational questions,

Xu Mo can answer fluently.

Even matters the manager doesn't understand, Xu Mo knows.

At this moment, Xu Mo is practically a king of quick talk.

In the theoretical realm, he is an invincible presence.

Even the most diligent Pilots probably don't know as much as he does!

Although the manager has already decided to hire Xu Mo,

he still symbolically asked a few aircraft‑related operational questions.

He asked them with a learning attitude, posing some questions he himself wasn't very clear on.

For every question the manager posed, Xu Mo answered fluently.

A smile gradually appeared on the manager's face.

He thought this truly is a rare talent.

This time he really struck gold.

As for the basic knowledge a Pilot must master, Xu Mo could answer everything.

Even questions that a senior executive of an Airline Company barely knows, Xu Mo could answer.

What else could this be but talent?

Our Airline Company needs exactly this kind of talent!

The interview with Xu Mo lasted over an hour.

The more the manager looked at Xu Mo, the more pleasing he found him.

On the spot he made the final decision to hire Xu Mo.

Yang Jingxuan stood nearby, stunned by what she heard.

When she looked at Xu Mo, her eyes were full of little stars.

She didn't expect that Xu Mo not only could fly a plane, but was also a hero.

He had once saved the lives of several hundred passengers.

Not only her, but even the Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room were stunned.

The massive amount of professional terminology Xu Mo used while talking with the Manager earlier left them completely bewildered.

The two of them talked for over an hour.

Xu Mo somehow answered every question and caught every sentence.

He made the Water Friends feel a bit insecure.

How come it suddenly feels like Xu Mo really can fly a plane?

"So he's hired already?"

"How does Xu Mo know so much? He can't actually be able to fly a plane, can he?"

"Impossible—didn't the Program Crew say Xu Mo is just an ordinary salaried worker?"

"Don't tell me all this knowledge was just crammed by him on the spot... If that's true, it's terrifying."

……

After Xu Mo's interview segment ended.

The Manager then looked at Yang Jingxuan.

He picked up the résumé Yang Jingxuan had just handed him.

He asked with a smile.

"You're here to apply for Flight Attendant, right? You're with Xu Mo? You two are a boyfriend‑girlfriend pair, aren't you?"

"Yes," Yang Jingxuan nodded.

She waited for the Manager to ask her some questions as well.

Who would have thought the Manager only skimmed her résumé.

Then he looked up and gave her another glance.

He then spoke directly.

"I've understood both of your situations; our Airline Company needs talents like you two. Follow me, I'll handle your onboarding."

To be honest, the Manager didn't ask much mainly because of Xu Mo.

Xu Mo is so outstanding; how could his girlfriend be any less?

Moreover,

Xu Mo is exactly the talent their Airline Company urgently needs right now.

If not hiring Yang Jingxuan caused Xu Mo to refuse to join their Airline Company, they'd suffer a huge loss.

Yang Jingxuan felt a bit unsettled.

Why is my interview segment so different from Xu Mo's?

She asked Xu Mo questions for over an hour.

When it was my turn, I asked, "Did I come here with Xu Mo?"

Is that it?

Doesn't he ask me anything else?

"Manager, you..." Yang Jingxuan began to speak, but Xu Mo cut her off.

"Manager, since we've both been hired, may I set a condition: can you place my girlfriend and me on the same crew?"

"Of course," the Manager smiled, "that's easy."

Under the Manager's escort, Xu Mo and Yang Jingxuan quickly completed their onboarding.

The Manager also assigned the two of them to the same crew.

And he took both of them to the office.

After introducing Xu Mo and Yang Jingxuan to everyone in the office, the Manager left.

Learning that Xu Mo is the company's new Pilot.

The Flight Attendants gave Xu Mo different looks.

It should be noted that Pilots are elite individuals who can earn millions a year.

In the Airline Company, Pilots are highly coveted; many Flight Attendants dream of marrying a Pilot.

As soon as the Manager left, the Flight Attendants gathered around to get to know Xu Mo...
