[bunniefuu]

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 may take him a while to get here too.

Have some water while you wait.

More water?

- Fu Ming Yu is such a jerk!
- Fu Ming Yu is such a jerk!

A double act?

Who's copying me?

[Episode 9]
[Then We're Even]

[Briefing Room for SDA No.1 Simulator]

Fifty.

Thirty. Twenty. ret*rd.

Thank you for your hard work.

What are the results?

There's indeed a seven-minute overlap
with Captain Fan's situation that day.

I believe Captain Fan
did her absolute best.

Alright, I'm aware of the situation.

Still, do compare the flight data again
when you're back.

- No problem. I'll head out then.
- Sure, take care.

- Okay.
- Goodbye, Mr. Fu.

[Let's have dinner together tomorrow.]

- What is it?
- Let me brief you.

I've notified the relevant leaders
and the Safety Committee.

Also, Mrs. He has set up
a last-minute dinner for you tonight.

Since it's quite a long drive,

and some of our key board members
will be there,

you'll need to get there early to prepare.

Let's head out now.

- Also, tell Zheng You An not to wait.
- Okay.

I don't have time.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Instructor Fang.

You're certainly diligent.
I haven't even sipped my coffee yet.

I should let you know.

You have simulator sessions
for the next two days, right?

- Yes.
- But the company has other plans.

All training must be suspended.

- Why?
- Mr. Fu's orders.

Him again.

Come on, let's start. I'll skip the coffee.

Excuse me.

It's been almost three hours.
When will he be back?

Sorry, I was just about to tell you.

Mr. Fu has other arrangements today.
He won't be returning.

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

Thank you.

What kind of person is he?

- Hope to see you at our school again.
- Thank you.

- One at a time.
- Good work, everyone.

We can find a place to grab a bite later.

If you have any questions,
feel free to ask me.

- Is that okay?
- Great!

- Where should we eat?
- Will it be too much trouble?

Somewhere nearby. Let's find a good place.

- Sure.
- I know a hot pot place nearby.

- Sounds good.
- Let's go then.

- Okay.
- Captain Yue.

Excuse me.

Mr. Xie, thank you so much.
The students were so welcoming.

It's all 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 about the person
you just mentioned, Ruan Si Xian.

- You...
- We were classmates.

Okay.

- Fu Ming Yu is such a jerk!
- Fu Ming Yu is such a jerk!

A double act?

Who's copying me?

I've put up with him for far too long.
He even stood me up today.

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

Why are you going to Manchester?

I'll let you go then.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop.

It's just that
you were cursing pretty loudly just now.

So what if you heard it?

It's not like you're going to tell on me.

I just wondered who
had the nerve to say that

on Fu Ming Yu's turf.

Quite spot on!

Exactly. I knew you hated 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. I'm meeting friends tonight.

A boyfriend?

No.

Then let's all get to know each other.

Drinking is more fun with a crowd.
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 have water.

Let's go. I'm a very easygoing person.

- No, I really...
- Let's grab drinks tonight and just chill.

- Sorry for being late.
- Captain Yue.

- Captain Yue.
- Sorry, everyone.

I had to change out of my uniform,
so I got held up for a bit.

I'm really sorry.

- Please, take the head seat.
- No.

Please. Sit down.

Listen, everyone.

Now that we're having dinner,
let's treat each other like friends.

Really, not like earlier
in that lecture hall.

Or say, we become colleagues
after your graduation.

At most, I'll be mentoring rookies.

You might call me mentor, but that's it.

Then we'll call you mentor.

- Mentor!
- No, you don't have to.

I gathered everyone here today

because I know you all have questions,
but we ran out of time earlier.

- Right.
- Right.

Now that we're all together,
let's chat over some drinks.

- Sure.
- Sounds good.

So, have you ordered any drinks yet?

- No.
- Not yet.

Okay, I figured. I'll go get some.
You guys sit here for a bit.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- What are you doing here?
- To steal your recruits.

If I waited until after the presentation,

you would've snapped
up all the best recruits.

See? You're all natural
for flight attendants.

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

You can call me Zi Yue.

- Hello, Zi Yue.
- Hello, Zi Yue!

Why don't you chat with the students?
I'll go order the drinks.

He's the one who asked me back
to sh**t for him.

And yet, every single time...

Every single time! He's never satisfied.

Fine.

If he doesn't like it, I'll redo it.

For this latest proposal,
I pulled several all-nighters.

I waited for him all afternoon.

And the result?

He didn't even glance at it.

I...

Please enjoy.

I just don't understand.

How can someone get more obnoxious
as they grow up?

More obnoxious as they grow up.

You have to deal with him every day.
You poor thing.

I'm going to the restroom.
Take it easy with the drinks.

Don't drink too fast.

I'll be right back.

Why are you hanging out with her?

I don't know. I'm so annoyed.

On my way to the company
today, I ran into her.

She insisted on dragging me here to drink.
I turned her down a dozen times.

In the end, she got her way.

Does she know who you are?

Of course not.

That's good then.

Does your mom still send
you money every month?

Once every two or three months.

But I haven't used that card.
I never even checked it.

Then what's your stance now?

Are you going to mend
the relationship or...?

Let's not talk about this now.

Right now, I need to get her out of here.

Go on. Keep an eye on her.

Wake up, Zheng You An.

You're so drunk.

[Fu Ming Yu]

Come here.

Come here.

Go to Fly Pub.

- It hurts.
- What are you doing?

Helping you take care of your friend.

No need. We're leaving.

Come on. 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, gorgeous.
- I'm not joking.

I know a lot more about
beating someone up than she does.

Want to put it to the test?

No, thanks. I'll be going now. Bye.

- I don't get it. Why are you so mad...
- Can you keep your voice down?

I only came here for
tomorrow's presentation.

Jiang Zi Yue, we should stop beating
around the bush. You should be more honest.

After we got back from Australia,
you told me we were officially dating.

I understand keeping it private,
but why act like you're single?

That's my call.

Well, guess a lot of
things are my call 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 twelve of us.

Eight men and four women.
What could I have possibly done?

Come here. Just think of me as
a child. I'm being rebellious.

- Then why were you so mean to me?
- I...

I'm sorry.

Let's go.

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

- Okay, thank you.
- No problem.

You wanted to drink?

No. She felt like drinking.

So she's the reason
that you called me here.

Why else? She's drinking because of you.

Hurry up and take her away.
I'm exhausted. I'm going home to sleep.

Why do you say it's because of me?

That's what she said.

You made her cry, so deal with it yourself.

I've made many women cry.
Do I have to apologize to every one?

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 take the high road,
and I'll take the narrow one.

Wait, no.

I'll take the high road,
and you take the narrow one.

You don't actually 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!

Get her home safely
and let me know when she does.

Yes, sir.

Don't let her get out of the car halfway.

- Understood, Mr. Fu.
- Go on.

Hey, gorgeous.

- Is your friend gone?
- Go away. Not in the mood.

All the more reason
to drink if you're upset.

I can't stand to see a beauty
looking so sad. Come on.

Good company makes a
thousand drinks feel few.

Let's drink until we're wasted!

I'm warning you.
If you keep touching me, I'll slap you.

Sir, are you drunk?

Want me to take you
to the police station to cool off?

It's right ahead.

No, please. Alright.

Today, for the pretty boss's sake...

Next time, gorgeous,
you must give me your WeChat.

Next time? Forget WeChat. Get lost!

What a jerk.

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

- Is Fu Ming Yu gone?
- Yes.

I told him to take Zheng You An home.

You let him take another woman home?
You're so open-minded.

Otherwise? It's none of my business.

You let him take another woman home,
and say it's none of your business?

Oh my.

I'll get some ice for his face.

Tong Le! Get the ice, quick!

Are you all cooled off?

- Yeah.
- Good.

It's time to go home.

I'll take you.

Was my slap that powerful?

Is it that funny?

Why are you looking at your hand?

My hand...

It hurts.

"Captain" Ruan, it seems you don't know
that every action has a reaction.

Get in the car.

Goodbye, Mr. Fu.

Are you serious? Ruan slapped him?

Very well. That was a good slap.
So Ruan has vented.

But won't Fu Ming Yu get angry?

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

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

What should we do?

Now that he's angry, he might settle old
scores and make us pay for the car repairs.

Wait. Don't say "us."

I didn't crash the car. Nor did I hit him.

Xuan. You can't just leave me to die.

Stop bothering me. I'm doing the accounts.

Wait, that's not right.

Ruan was the one who slapped him.

Love matches start with a quarrel.

Maybe that slap
will actually bring them together.

Unless...

this Fu Ming Yu has Stockholm syndrome.

Are you here to see the injured man?

Here, take this.
You'll feel 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 hit that often?

No.

Some flight routes have intense UV rays
at high altitude.

My face gets irritated, so I use it a lot.

Here.

Then apply it for me.

Does it hurt?

What? Are you worried about me?

Who said I was?

It's not like I'm made of steel.

How on earth did I hit you so hard?

Is it hot in here?

Why is your face so red?

Are you applying medicine or caressing me?

What do you think?

Are you even a woman?

If I were a man, one slap from me
would have knocked your brains out.

If you were a man,
would I be so indulgent with you?

Um...

I'm sorry.

I mistook you for a creep today,
so I hit you a bit too hard.

My apologies. Let's
just say we're even now.

We can't be even.

Fu Ming Yu doesn't seem like
the kind of man who holds a grudge.

I'm just praying that
he'll be the bigger man.

Hope he won't make
me pay for the car repairs.

If Ruan loses her job,
I'm willing to give her 2,000 yuan a month

for her living expenses
until she finds another job.



I never would have guessed.

But is your salary even enough
to cover your car loan?

Then what should I do?

Have you ever seen an employee
hit their boss and get away with it?

Don't be more worried than she is.
Ruan hasn't even said anything.

Yeah, she hasn't.

But didn't you say
she looked totally dejected when she left?

She did, 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 a flight attendant.

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

Keep dreaming.

I've seen plenty of
these cheap tricks before.

If you have this much time and energy,
focus it on your actual job.

I think you just want a shortcut.

But I didn't know back then that
you were doing 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 effort,

you've become an excellent pilot.

If my actions had ruined someone's dream,

I'd have to live with that
and feel deeply ashamed of what I did.

But even if I had read
your letter back then...

I'm sorry, the Soar Initiative
would still have been canceled.

Because Hengshi Air was facing overstaffing
and aircraft model reforms.

Continuing the Soar Initiative
would have only accelerated layoffs.

It wouldn't have just meant
a few shattered dreams.

Countless families would've had to suffer
the fallout along with Hengshi Air.

What do you mean by this now?

Is this some kind of apology convention?

You just said we're even.

I still think I owe you a formal apology.

I can't let this one slap
erase the debt I owe you.

I also hope that you can forgive

that arrogant and rude man I was
three years ago.

I've long since moved on.

Then we're even.

Is he waiting for me?

Ruan, what a coincidence.

Coincidence indeed.

Did you get a cab?

Not yet.

Come. Otherwise, you'll be late again.

Thank you.

Ruan, are you really pursuing Mr. Fu?

Sir, please pull over.

Someone wants to get off.

But we're in the middle of nowhere.

- How could you?
- This is just how I am.

Either that, or you shut up.

How did I get back?

Who should I ask?

Fu Ming Yu?

How should I explain it to him?

Ruan Si Xian?

I just finished badmouthing him to her,
and then he showed up at the pub.

Backstabber.

It has to be you, then.

Xuan, I drank a bit too much yesterday.

Sorry for the trouble.

Um, let me ask you something.

How did I get home?

Fu Ming Yu got you back.

I knew it.

What about Ruan Si Xian? Was she okay?

She's fine.

She just slapped Fu Ming Yu in the face.

As expected of a female pilot.
She actually slapped him.

This is the world I've always wanted.

You 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 it.

I have something to tell you.

Do you remember
that female pilot from Hengshi Air?

The one I took photos of.

I vaguely remember her. What about her?

Last night...

she hit Fu Ming Yu.

- She hit Fu Ming Yu?
- And...

it was a slap.

Why?

I was so drunk. How would I know why?

But Fu Ming Yu had it
coming. He deserved it.

Don't worry too much.
He's a grown man. One slap won't k*ll 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 Ruan
a congratulatory message.

My dear Ruan, you're really something.
That slap really satisfied my grudge.

Sending this to congratulate you.
I'll treat you to a drink another day.

More drinking? None of this would've
happened if you hadn't been drinking.

- 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.

Mr. Fu takes it seriously.
So I came over myself.

Captain Fan...

Any chance of Captain Fan's return?

Who knows? It depends on
today's simulation. We'll see.

- Alright, I'll leave you to it.
- Okay. Go ahead.

That's why I'm telling you,
the data must be verified from now on.

Let's go.

What is this now?

Can't you tell? It's my workstation.

A massage chair.

Young master, did you come here to retire?

Put yourself in my shoes.

How many days of hard labor have I done
for you? Can't I at least be comfortable?

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 that back at Bo'ao Air.

But seriously,
do you have any employee benefits here?

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 yet,
and you want team-building?

Are you here to reform my workplace?

I'm not joking.

- I'll take you to Ma'ao.
- I'm not joking either.

Look at the state of my studio,
and with things at my family...

How heartless would I have to be
to travel with you?

I'll cover all the expenses.

Flights, hotels, and shopping.

A one-stop service.

Well, I could consider it.

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

It's mainly for our team's cohesion.

Boss, the massage chair is installed.
Please sign here.

- Done.
- Thanks.

Why do I feel like, with you in my studio,

it'll go bankrupt sooner or later?

Let me tell you, Zheng You An.
Your studio won't go bust because I'm here.

Life is only 30,000 days.
Shouldn't I make myself comfortable?

Today's simulated emergency
is based on Flight 2076 of Hengshi Air,

where a passenger
suffered a sudden heart attack.

Landing must be completed in 15 minutes
so the passenger can receive timely care.

We have four simulators
with four different decisions.

No.1 Simulator is Captain Fan.

She will maintain
the flight status of that day,

keeping the bank angle under 45°.

No.2 Simulator will avoid an overweight
landing by holding to consume fuel.

No.3 Simulator will keep
the autopilot engaged

with a subsequent decision
for an overweight landing.

No.4 Simulator will also
disengage the autopilot,

matching Captain Fan's decision.

We can begin now.

- Jiang City, Hengshi Air 2076.
- Hengshi Air 2076, go ahead.

A passenger has fainted on board.
A doctor is currently treating her.

But immediate emergency care is needed.

Request return to Jiang
City and radar vectors.

Please notify our company
and relevant departments.

Hengshi Air 2076, roger.

Radar vectors. Turn right heading 210.
Descend to 4,200.

Descend to 4,200.

[No.1 Simulator: Autopilot disengaged]
[Bank angle less than 45°/ Status: Stable]

[No.2 Simulator: Autopilot]
We are currently overweight.

Expect 30 minutes of holding to burn fuel.

[No.3 Simulator: Autopilot]
We'll maintain autopilot. Bank angle under 30°.

[No.4 Simulator: Autopilot disengaged]
No.4 Simulator. Disengage autopilot now.

[Status: Unstable]
Bank angle under 45°.

Next, the four captains began landing.

No.1 Simulator, prepare to land.

100.

40.

30.

20.

10.

[No.1 Simulator: 9 min 45 sec]
[No warning triggered]

No.1 Simulator has landed.

No.4 Simulator, prepare to land.

[No.4 Simulator: 11 min 21 sec]
[Flight status: Unstable]

No.4 Simulator has landed.

No.3 Simulator, prepare to land.

50.

40.

30.

20.

10.

[No.3 Simulator: 15 min 15 sec]
[QAR 710 hard landing warning]

No.3 Simulator has landed.

No.2 Simulator.
Estimated landing in 15 minutes.

No.2 Simulator has landed.

[No.2 Simulator: 31 min 45 sec]
[No warning triggered]

All four simulator crews have landed.

As we can see,
No.2 Simulator chose to hold and burn fuel

to avoid an overweight landing,

extending its landing time
to 31 minutes and 45 seconds.

This took much longer than Captain Fan.

It delayed the passenger's critical care.

No.3 Simulator, during
an overweight landing,

it failed to control the plane's descent,

triggering a QAR hard landing warning.

It took slightly over 15 minutes.

No.4 Simulator made the same decision
as Captain Fan.

It disengaged autopilot

and kept the bank angle
within the CAAC standard of 45 degrees.

Although it landed successfully,
the aircraft was severely unstable.

It also took 1 minute and 36 seconds longer
than Captain Fan's.

As for Captain Fan's flight data
and performance,

I'm sure you've all seen it for yourselves.

I won't elaborate further.

Here.

To save everyone's time, I have
another three sets of experimental data.

All from simulation replays
of the same emergency.

All the flight data is right here.

The mission for these three simulations
was to avoid triggering the QAR.

To avoid a hard landing, the three captains

either chose to hold and burn fuel
or remained on autopilot.

But they all exceeded
the 15-minute diversion requirement.

They also missed
the patient's golden hour for rescue.

Other results aside, the only
captain who landed within 15 minutes

was still 1 minute and 36 seconds slower
than Captain Fan.



It seems like a tiny margin,

but it's highly likely to be the window
between life and death.

Fortunately, this patient received
timely treatment that day

and is now recovering at home.

[To SH2076 air crew: I'm eternally grateful
for saving my life. From Ms. Xu]

This banner is the passenger's recognition
and praise for our entire crew.

Our crew members used their expertise

to save not only a life,
but also a family's future.

They ensured the safety
of all the passengers on board

and prevented a catastrophe.

If we still ground a captain like this,
it will be a loss for all of Hengshi Air.

At the same time, this
emergency reminded us

that the QAR shouldn't be
the only measure of flight performance.

Reforming the QAR is long overdue.

[Upon review, the Safety Committee
has decided to lift Fan Lei's grounding.]

[Jiang City]

Can I help you?

Ruan, you seem like a nice person.

You helped Captain
Fan resume flying, right?

- My mentor is back on flight duty?
- 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. What is it?

Why are you wearing a
mask this late at night?

My face is having an allergic reaction.

Here's the thing.

Mr. Zheng and his wife
are celebrating their wedding anniversary.

They invited us.

If it were anyone else, I'd just skip it.

But they invited the whole family.

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

But can you go in your condition?

I can. No problem.

- Is it serious?
- Not at all.

Take off the mask and let me see.

- I'd better keep it on.
- Let me see.

- Mom.
- Let me see.

I'm fine. I've applied the medicine.
I don't want to pass it to you.

By the way, I saw that
pearl necklace of yours.

It's been sitting there
for several days now.

Why haven't you given it away yet?

Perfect. You can give it to Zheng's wife.

Okay.

I wonder if Ms. Dong
will like this ordinary.

I just don't get it.

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.
