On the other two buses, the staff members brought by Qin Yanan were also giving the same introduction.
Ma Zheng was the person in charge of the guards, so he was naturally on the first bus. After hearing Qin Yanan's words, he said with a smile, "He actually prepared a surprise for everyone! Then I'll open it and take a look! "
Qin Yanan smiled and nodded. "Okay! The initial password is six 1s. You can change the password according to your needs later! "
Ma Zheng picked up the camouflage suitcase with his name tag and said with a smile, "It's quite heavy!"
He placed the suitcase in the middle aisle, then quickly unlocked it and unzipped it. The contents of the suitcase were immediately presented to everyone.
The guards also gathered around curiously, wanting to see what Xia Ruofei had specifically asked Qin Yanan to prepare for everyone.
The large suitcase was filled with all kinds of daily necessities, such as thermos flasks, shampoo, band-aids, toothbrushes, and so on. There were at least dozens of things, snacks, and daily necessities. Ma Zheng even found a bottle of Lao Gan Ma in the suitcase. He guessed that it was prepared in case the team members were not used to the food on Peach Blossom Island. It could be said that with such a suitcase, he did not need to prepare anything. After all, the team members worked on the island, and they were all wearing the uniform issued to them.
Qin Yanan smiled and explained, "Boss Xia specifically asked me to prepare this. Everyone's suitcase is the same. Boss Xia said that it's not convenient to shop at the place where you work, so he was worried that everyone didn't bring everything, so he simply got everyone a set at the company's expense!"
Ma Zheng silently closed the suitcase. The other guards didn't say anything, but a warm current began to flow in their hearts.
Originally, because of their friendship, they were very serious about this job, and Xia Ruofei's considerate action made everyone feel a stronger sense of belonging.
After a brief interlude, the three buses left on time and drove out of Taoyuan Farm. They quickly turned onto the national highway and drove towards Sanshan International Airport, which was also located in Changping County.
The security team members took a chartered flight. Qin Yanan had also coordinated in the name of the Taoyuan Company in advance. The airport specially opened an express passage. Everyone going to Peach Blossom Island quickly passed through the security check through this passage, and then took the pre-prepared ferry directly to the tarmac.
Qin Yanan and two other staff members, who had completed the procedures in advance, followed everyone to the tarmac.
A Qantas Boeing 757 aircraft was parked quietly in its seat. The captain, along with three other pilots and crew members, stood by the gangway to welcome them.
After getting off the ferry, the security team members quickly lined up neatly. They pushed identical camouflage suitcases and walked towards the plane in an orderly manner. Except for the fact that they weren't wearing the standard Huaxia military uniform, they looked like an army.
Qantas was equipped with two crew members for this flight, which was two captains and two co-pilots. The two crew members would take turns to rest and complete the flight mission together.
With the endurance of the Boeing 757, this flight didn't need to stop at any airport to refuel. After taking off from Sanshan, they would land directly at the airport of Peach Blossom Island.
Considering that the runway of Peach Blossom Island Airport was slightly short, Qantas specially arranged for the experienced pilot instructor, Nelson, to be the first captain.
Nelson stood at the front of the welcoming team. He took a few steps forward and said to Ma Zheng in English with a smile, "Welcome to this flight! On behalf of Qantas and the flight crew, I would like to welcome you! "
Although Ma Zheng also graduated from his undergraduate degree, after working in the army, he basically fell behind in English. Nelson spoke a little fast, so he didn't understand much at all.
Fortunately, Lin Yue, Ma Zheng's family member, was good at English. She looked at Ma Zheng with some amusement and acted as a temporary interpreter.
After listening to Lin Yue's translation, Ma Zheng shook hands with Nelson and said directly in broken English, "Thank you! You've worked hard! "
Although it was said that his reading and writing had deteriorated a lot, Ma Zheng had no problem with some simple English conversations.
He thought that Nelson was just being polite, but he didn't expect Nelson to say a lot of things, and he spoke very fast. It was difficult for him to guess the meaning of a few words that he could barely understand, so he turned to Lin Yue for help.
Lin Yue also showed a hint of confusion. She shrugged and said, "The captain said that Captain Brook strongly wanted to fly this flight, but unfortunately, he flew an Airbus, and this time Mr. Xia rented a Boeing plane. Of course, the most important thing is that he has retired not long ago, so he can't fly even if he wants to. These are his original words, and I don't know what they mean … "
Ma Zheng was confused. He thought for a moment and said, "Then you can ask him who Brook is."
"Wouldn't it be a little impolite?" Lin Yue hesitated.
Just when the two were talking in a low voice, Nelson quickly said in English, "I forgot to tell you that Brook and I are very good friends. We were classmates in aviation school, but after we returned to the company, we were arranged to learn to fly different planes. By the way, you still don't know who Brook is, right? "
Lin Yue quickly translated this for Ma Zheng, and then said, "Yes, Mr. Captain! We really don't know who Captain Brook is … "
Nelson laughed heartily and said, "That's a lucky guy! If Mr. Xia hadn't been on the plane that time, Brook would have been buried in the sea! So when he heard that Mr. Xia asked the Meiya Group to charter the plane, Brook couldn't wait to put on his flight uniform again and learn how to fly a Boeing plane again! Hahaha! "
It was big news that Xia Ruofei saved a Qantas Airbus A350 plane. It was also because of this incident that Xia Ruofei became a hot online celebrity. So both Lin Yue and Ma Zheng, who was in the closed military camp at that time, knew about this incident very well. When they heard Nelson's words, they immediately realized that the Brook Nelson was talking about was the captain of the plane that Xia Ruofei saved at that time.
Just then, a man came out from behind the gangway and said, "Nelson! Can you save me some face in front of our friends from Huaxia? "
Ma Zheng and Lin Yue took a closer look and vaguely recognized that this should be Captain Brook. At that time, because a Huaxia man became a key figure in the forced landing, the domestic media had a lot of coverage, and Brook, as one of the protagonists, frequently appeared in media reports, so the two more or less had some impression of him.
Captain Brook was also wearing a short-sleeved flight uniform today, but he didn't wear the captain's epaulette. It was probably a rule of Qantas that retired captains could no longer wear epaulette on missions.
Nelson laughed and hugged Brook, and then said to Ma Zheng and Lin Yue, "Let me introduce you, this is the lucky captain, Mr. Brook! Under his strong request, the company agreed to let him participate in this flight as a consultant … "
Nelson shrugged and said, "God bless, I hope he won't affect the safety of the flight!"
Brook glared at Nelson and said, "Damn it! You old man, stop talking! "
Then Brook put on a sincere smile and said to Ma Zheng and Lin Yue, "Hello, friends from Huaxia! Welcome to this flight! "
Brook spoke in Chinese, but his accent was very strange. Fortunately, they could barely understand what he meant. He probably learned it at the last minute and then memorized these syllables.
Ma Zheng smiled and said in English, "Thank you! Captain Brook! "
Brook then changed to English and said, "In the next ten hours, I promise you will receive the best service from Qantas staff! Because you are Huaxia people and Mr. Xia's employees, you are the most distinguished guests of Qantas! "
After Ma Zheng heard the translation, he nodded and said, "Thank you very much! Thank you for your hard work! "
He also secretly sighed in his heart. Xia Ruofei was no longer the little soldier in his company. Now, not only was he worth hundreds of millions, but he also had a prominent status and amazing connections. Even the foreign airline and the pilot respected him so much.
Brook smiled and said, "We have wasted a lot of your time, so … let's hurry up and board! I don't want to delay Mr. Xia's business because of our small talk! "
Ma Zheng nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Two lanes on the left! Boarding! Two lanes on the right, follow from the end of the line! "
The security team immediately formed two columns, stepped up the gangway ladder, and walked into the cabin. Under the guidance of the flight attendants, they orderly placed their luggage and took their seats.
Ma Zheng and Lin Yue stood next to the gangway ladder. After all the team members boarded, Ma Zheng said to Qin Yanan, who came to the tarmac to see them off, "Manager Qin, everyone has worked hard today. Please go back!"
Qin Yanan said with a smile, "Captain Ma, I wish everyone a safe journey!"
Ma Zheng nodded and shook hands with Qin Yanan. Then, he and Lin Yue boarded the gangway ladder. He stood at the door of the cabin and waved goodbye to Qin Yanan and the other two staff members on the tarmac, then turned and walked into the cabin.
After everyone boarded, the door of the plane quickly closed. The pilots entered the cockpit to prepare for takeoff. Generally, in a two-crew flight, the two crew members were in the cockpit at the same time during the take-off and landing stages. In this way, if there were any special circumstances, they could deal with it together and maximize the utilization of the cockpit resources. Therefore, the so-called taking turns to rest was during the cruising stage of the plane.
Brook was not responsible for the flight, so he did not enter the cockpit immediately.
Qantas' arrangement was very considerate. The flight crew had specially arranged two Chinese female flight attendants, one of whom was a senior staff member, to be the chief flight attendant of this charter flight.
After all, Chinese faces could make the Huaxia passengers feel more comfortable. Moreover, the two women's Chinese was good, so they could communicate well with the passengers during the flight.
During the flight preparation stage in the cockpit, the Chinese female chief flight attendant gave everyone a routine safety reminder in Chinese.
Then, Brook appeared at the front of the cabin, holding a microphone in his hand. The female flight attendant stood next to him as a translator.
Brook greeted everyone with a smile on his face. Then, he reminisced about that unforgettable experience in the air. In the end, he said emotionally, "It's no exaggeration to say that it was Mr. Xia Ruofei who gave me a second chance at life. He allowed me to take the last flight of my life and retire safely! I am full of gratitude to Mr. Xia and all the people of Huaxia! Therefore, I am very honored to join the flight crew as an off-staff consultant to provide service to all of you distinguished guests! I hope that everyone can enjoy this trip in the next ten hours of flight! If you have any needs, please tell me or the chief flight attendant. We will do our best to satisfy you! "
After the Chinese female chief flight attendant translated Brook's words, there was a warm applause in the cabin.
Everyone's heart was filled with a sense of honor and pride.
At the same time, everyone admired Xia Ruofei even more and looked forward to working under Xia Ruofei in the future.
Soon, the flight operated by Qantas was allowed to take off. Brook also bowed to everyone and returned to the cockpit.
The Qantas Boeing 757 heavy aircraft stopped on the taxiway and was finally allowed to enter the runway for takeoff.
The pre-takeoff inspection had been carried out during the taxiing process. When the nose of the plane was aimed at the runway, Nielsen immediately pushed the throttle handle to the takeoff thrust. The plane received a surge of power and began to speed up on the runway.
The security team members in the cabin felt a strong sense of being pushed back, and the scenery outside the porthole was moving back quickly.
The plane's speed was getting faster and faster. When it reached VR, Nielsen gently pulled back the joystick, and the heavy aircraft suddenly rose into the air. The heavy fuselage, under the effect of the lift of the two wings, steadily rushed into the sky.
The security team members looked at the buildings outside the porthole getting smaller and smaller, and they couldn't help but feel excited. They were slowly looking forward to a new life.
