It was not until the two men walked along the aisle and stood in front of Tang Ying and stared down at her from above that Tang Ying was convinced that such a strange thing had really happened to her.
But she still could not accept it. She raised her head and pointed at her face. "Are you talking about me? Oversold? You want us to get off the plane? "
Tang Ying turned to look at Chen Guang beside her. She felt an indescribable pain in her balls.
Did he forget about being demoted from first-class to economy class? In any case, he could fly back to China. At most, he would complain about American Airlines' rudeness and contempt for its customers in his circle of friends when he got back.
But now, even economy class was gone!
She could only say that she had run into trouble.
She had to attend a meeting at the city hospital tomorrow morning and hand over the last of her work. In the afternoon, she had to attend a meeting with the leaders of Gokyo University School of Medicine.
Dachuan's Department of Science and Technology, China's Ministry of Science and Technology, and the leaders of the Ministry of Education would all attend the meeting to discuss the specific details of investing in the establishment of a national biomedical laboratory.
If she could not get on the plane this afternoon, then tomorrow's meeting would be over.
This pigeon had been placed too far, and the joke had been made too big.
Chen Guang was about to get up when Tang Ying pressed his shoulder down.
"Don't say anything. I want to see what American Airlines is planning to do today!"
Tang Ying did not want Chen Guang to step in. The reason was simple. She was already furious when she was demoted. Chen Guang had comforted her and forced her to tolerate it. Now that American Airlines was here to cause trouble again, she could not tolerate it.
Tang Ying felt that with Chen Guang's current fame and reputation, especially after knowing his status in the civil aviation industry, if Chen Guang showed his face, these guys who had been disgusting her would immediately bow and apologize.
When that time came, one would not hit a smiling face. It would not be good to scold them.
In addition, the furious Tang Ying was also curious as to what kind of interesting explanation the people from Meizhong Airlines could give to get her to descend and then kick her off the plane within a day.
The two sturdy staff members looked curiously at Chen Guang, who was sitting next to them with a cap covering his face.
According to the information, these two passengers did not book their seats at the same time. It seemed like they knew each other?
Forget it, that's not important. A special ticket and a compensation ticket for lowering the cabin. They're not important people, so it doesn't matter whether I know them or not.
Tang Ying stood up abruptly. "You have to give me an explanation! I originally bought a first-class ticket, but you guys downgraded it to economy class. I can't be bothered to bicker with you. But as far as I know, you can't even get a boarding pass with an oversold ticket! This is not oversold at all! "
Faced with Tang Ying's rage, the Caucasian worker's expression didn't change. "Miss from China, please calm down and cooperate with us. This was indeed overselling tickets. Please leave the plane immediately. Your emotions are out of control, and we can consider you as a threat to aviation safety. If necessary, we will take measures to force you off the plane. "
"Impossible! I don't accept your reason! "
Tang Ying rebutted him right away.
'I don't even accept your reason for overselling tickets, and you want me to get off the plane?
What about my meeting tomorrow?
How am I going to explain myself? '
Seeing this, another black staff member pretended to take out a book from the side and flipped through the information on it. "Madam Tang, on behalf of American Airlines, I am officially notifying you to depart from flight MZ878 immediately! We are deeply sorry for the trouble our company has caused you by overselling tickets. However, please cooperate with us. Also, the man next to you … uh, in short, please leave the plane immediately. "
After that, he closed the book again, representing American Airlines to issue an official notice to Chen Guang and Tang Ying.
However, there was one thing that was strange. The information in his hand did not show Chen Guang's name. He thought it was a mistake on the part of his colleague, but it didn't matter.
How could they have known that Chen Guang's so-called special ticket was not a special price, but a free one?
It was just that when Chen Guang took the initiative to descend, for the sake of confidentiality, the safety committee had set it as a special ticket for him.
Of course, Tang Ying couldn't agree to it. "Impossible! You, Mei Zhong Hang, have gone too far! Get your manager here! Get your person-in-charge here! There are so many passengers on the plane, why must it be us?! "
The white worker took a step forward. "Miss Tang, you'd better control yourself on the plane. We can compensate each of you with 400 US dollars. That's not a small amount for you Chinese. "
At this time, someone interrupted, "Stop compensating. I only compensated you like this once last year. 400 US dollars? Pfft! It's eight 50-dollar coupons, and you can only use one each time you buy a ticket! Plus, it expires after a year. What's 400 US dollars?! "
With Tang Ying's net worth, she wouldn't even bat an eye if 4,000 US dollars was placed in front of her, let alone eight ridiculous coupons.
"Impossible, I won't accept your compensation. Whoever wants it can go. We're not getting off the plane anyway."
Tang Ying waved her hand and firmly refused.
The faces of the two staff members gradually darkened.
The white man clenched his fists tightly.
Tang Ying wasn't afraid at all. Chen Guang was right behind her. Tang Ying knew how capable this kid was. She was sure that if this white man dared to throw a punch, he would be the one flying.
The black worker pulled his colleague back a little. "Miss Tang, I'll remind you for the last time. If you don't cooperate with us, you will be listed as an unwelcome guest by American Airlines. In addition, we will also submit your name to the Aviation Association. Also, as a Chinese national, you will be restricted from entering the country. Do you understand what I mean? I'm afraid you won't be able to come to America in the future. "
The white worker also suppressed his anger. "That's right! Also, there are indeed many passengers in the cabin. We're very sorry about the overbooking, but the selection of passengers will be randomly selected by our system. Everyone can be selected. This is very fair for all passengers. You see, we need a total of four passengers to get off the plane. Apart from the two of you, there are two more passengers. "
At this time, the other passengers on the plane seemed to be a little impatient. They all began to chime in one after another.
"That's right. The airline company won't mess around. Hurry up and get off the plane. Don't waste everyone's time."
"It's all your own bad luck. You guys were selected. What else is there to say?"
"If I was the one who was selected, we would have left the plane on our own. This is a plane, not a car at home. It's every passenger's duty to abide by the airline's rules. "
Most of the people who were making sarcastic remarks were seemingly warm-hearted, but in fact, they were very selfish international friends. There were also some Chinese people on the plane, but they didn't say much.
Seeing their compatriots in trouble, they were also quite unhappy.
"There are two more people? Randomly selected? "
Tang Ying frowned. She didn't believe the explanation of the two workers at all.
She and Chen Guang booked their tickets separately. Moreover, Chen Guang had just descended from the cabin. In the end, they were picked out together. If it was purely random, it would be a small event with a probability of 1% multiplied by 1%. One could win five million in the lottery.
The white worker nodded coldly. "Of course it's random! It's very fair! "
After that, he stretched his neck and shouted, "Mr. Tao in Seat D of the ninth row, Ms. Luo in Seat E, please cooperate. Due to overbooking, you also need to leave the plane."
Then he turned to look at Tang Ying. "Ms. Tang, as you can see, there are a total of four passengers. They have been selected fairly and fairly by our American Airlines system. Now, I'm issuing a final ultimatum. You must leave flight MZ878 immediately. Otherwise, we will take forced relocation measures. Your immature behavior is very troubling to us. "
Tang Ying almost laughed out loud.
She was stunned. There were more than two hundred passengers in the cabin, and less than a fifth of them were Asian. Was there something wrong with the machine?
Just from the names, it was obvious that the other two unlucky people were also Chinese. All four of them were randomly selected.
This guy was actually bragging about how fair and open their system was without batting an eyelid?
Chen Guang, who was sitting next to her, was also stunned. He had always thought that the thickness of his skin could be ranked in the top ten in the world. Now, he realized how naive he was. There was always someone better than him out there.
One could not underestimate the heroes of the world. When it came to shamelessness, international friends were the strongest in this aspect.
"This is impossible! I want to contact my lawyer! Don't try to fool me with your overbooking and random system. Dream on! "
On the other side, the black staff was approaching the other two "overbooked" passengers, but Tang Ying slumped down.
The white worker looked down at Tang Ying coldly. He was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he sneered and turned his head to walk further inside.
On the other side, the two passengers who were also "overbooked" started arguing.
Obviously, only white and black people would "believe" in the so-called fairness of the American Airlines system. No one was willing to be refused.
"It seems that our work today is not going well."
Both groups of people refused to get off the plane. The two workers could not help but be particularly angry.
"I'll give you five more minutes to think about it. After that, you will be relocated. Whether you accept it or not, Pierce, let's go!"
The white man waved his hand. He was not in a hurry to make a move.
"Now you know what they're trying to do, right?"
Chen Guang quietly adjusted his hat. "If you had asked me to step in earlier, this wouldn't have happened."
Tang Ying was still angry. "It's fine. It's the same even if you step in now."
Chen Guang shook his head. "I just looked it up online and found something very interesting."
"What is it?"
"Chinese people have been overbooked for many years. You know what I mean."
Chen Guang lowered his hat and grinned. "If I didn't know about it, it would have been fine. But since I've seen it, I feel that since I've become quite famous in America recently, I might as well make a bigger deal out of it."
Tang Ying asked, "You want to do something for the Chinese people?"
Chen Guang shrugged. "I'm not that great. It's just one thing. How much can I do? It's nothing more than to make them suffer a little, lest they think that yellow people are easy to bully. They've pissed us off and we don't like them either. Let's teach them a lesson. "
As he spoke, Chen Guang took out a pair of sunglasses and a mask from his bag and put them on his face. "Things might get out of hand later. You don't have to step in. I'll do it."
Chen Guang did not intend to make a big deal out of it. He thought that he could settle the whole thing with a phone call. Regardless of whether American Airlines was really overbooked or whether they really had to disembark the plane, if Chen Guang called the International Civil Aviation Association, there was no way they could not even get a seat.
Even if someone really had to disembark the plane, it would not be him and Tang Ying.
However, it happened right in front of him. The so-called fair and impartial random selection turned out to be people with the same skin color as him. He could not tolerate that.
Chen Guang thought about the hardships he had faced since he came to America. Just because he was from China and was Chinese, how much resistance did he have to face from the start?
If it were not for his nationality, if it were not for the fact that he was from China, how could the process of getting an Oscar be so difficult?
Perhaps, he would have been recognized by the world long ago if he had not even used half of what he had done.
Although the compensation offered by President Fred and the others was impressive, it was still Chen Guang's ability that had thoroughly convinced them. Chen Guang's performance was simply too perfect, to the point of being impeccable.
However, before that, their resistance and rejection had made Chen Guang's life very difficult.
If Chen Guang's abilities were just a little bit weaker, if he showed even the slightest flaw to others, it was very likely that his Oscar would go down the drain.
At the end of the day, it was still because the Huaxia people lacked the right to speak in America, or even in the world. They were not valued and trusted. Even other colored people might not be able to compare.
Talking about today's oversale, it was even more obvious.
American Airlines was clearly targeting Asians, especially the Huaxia people. Especially now, there were still cold remarks coming from all directions. Most of them were saying that the Huaxia people did not follow the rules, were barbaric, and were wasting everyone's time.
Chen Guang only sneered in his heart. 'Whatever you say, don't even think about flying today.'
"Sigh, since you want to do something big, then we probably can't fly today, right? Too bad my meeting tomorrow … sigh … "
Chen Guang comforted him, "It's okay, we can fly today. I promise you'll be able to step on our country's soil before nine tomorrow morning, okay?"
"That's not possible, right?"
Chen Guang shrugged. "American Airlines isn't the only company that flies to Wujing. We'll pay for a jet from another company, it'll be the same."
"Chen Guang?"
"Tang Ying No. 1."
"Let's stop flattering each other. Yo, you're back again, and you even got help."
As Tang Ying spoke, he looked up and saw a large group of people walking in from the aisle. In addition to the two guys just now, there were several uniformed people with guns.
The staff of American Airlines directly called the airport police. It seemed that they were really going to take the so-called forced relocation measures.
"Passengers, please exercise restraint and do not record. Now, we will begin to take coercive measures against illegal passengers who do not cooperate!"
The Caucasian staff was more confident because he had someone behind him. He took the lead and spoke loudly.
After he finished speaking, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Mr. Schultz, I'm starting here."
"Good, you've done a great job. We should teach these uncooperative, immature, and irrational passengers a lesson."
Schultz, the general manager of American Airlines, who was in charge of Los Angeles Airport affairs, said so.
This young second-generation heir had recently taken over American Airlines' business in Los Angeles under the arrangement of his father, who was a senior executive of American Airlines. He was planning to do something to build prestige among the staff, and he felt that this was a good opportunity.
Several tall and strong police officers approached quickly, and many passengers who were watching the fun raised their phones.
Not many people were so obedient as to stop recording just like that.
Chen Guang finally stood up and moved away from Tang Ying to stand in the aisle. He adjusted his sunglasses and adjusted his mask.
