Xia Ruofei put away his phone, got up, and opened the door.
He saw Alex standing at the door with a smile. Beside him was a middle-aged white man in a suit. This middle-aged white man was somewhat balding, and what little hair he had left was meticulously combed. There was not a single crease on his suit, and his leather shoes were shiny. At first glance, one could tell that he was a very strict person.
"Mr. Xia, this is Mr. Tony, the senior vice president of Qantas!" Alex introduced with a smile.
"Oh! Hello! "Xia Ruofei nodded and said," Please come in! "
Xia Ruofei invited the two into the room and said, "Please sit down. I'm going to change my clothes!"
After Xia Ruofei took a shower, he was wearing the bathrobe provided by the hotel. It was obviously inappropriate for him to receive guests.
Tony smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, it's okay! It's just a visit between friends. "
Xia Ruofei thought about it, then nodded with a smile and said, "That's okay! Let's sit here! "
Qantas had booked a suite for Xia Ruofei with a special reception room.
There was even a set of Huaxia tea set on the coffee table in the reception room. It could be seen that although it happened suddenly, Alex's arrangement was very careful. At the same time, it naturally reflected the importance that Qantas attached to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei invited the two of them to take a seat and then took out a box of tea leaves from his backpack on the sofa. As he skillfully boiled the water and prepared the tea set, he said with a smile, "Please have a taste of our Chinese tea!"
Tony opened his eyes wide exaggeratedly and said with a smile, "That's great! There are a lot of Huaxia tea in Australia, but I think Mr. Xia's tea is the most authentic! Because it comes from the hometown of tea! "
Xia Ruofei scooped a little Da Hong Pao from the box and put it in the tea set, then said with a smile, "This tea is called Da Hong Pao in Huaxia. There's a beautiful story!"
"Oh? I wonder if we have the honor of hearing this story? "Tony asked.
"Of course!" Xia Ruofei said.
The quick-heating kettle didn't have a large capacity, so the water soon boiled. Xia Ruofei skillfully brewed the tea while telling Tony and Alex the legend of Da Hong Pao in fluent English.
Naturally, he was talking about the most popular story of the student who was rushing to take the exam.
Following Xia Ruofei's explanation, the tea was quickly brewed. The unique tea aroma of Da Hong Pao filled the guest room, and even Tony and Alex, who didn't usually drink tea, couldn't help but take a whiff.
Soon, the tea drink from the mysterious East gained two more loyal fans. Tony and Alex were full of praise for Peach Garden Da Hong Pao, and said that they had fallen in love with this magical drink. When they went back, they would definitely buy some for long-term consumption.
As for the taste of the tea leaves they bought from Chinese shops or supermarkets, Xia Ruofei couldn't care less.
After all, they couldn't keep exchanging pleasantries, so Tony soon cut to the chase.
"Mr. Xia, after Mr. Tony learned that the plane decided to make an emergency landing on Saipan, he immediately rushed over with his team on the company's official plane. He came to visit you as soon as he got off the plane!" Alex said, "Mr. Tony said that he must express the gratitude of Qantas to you in person as soon as possible!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Mr. Tony, you're welcome! Your company's crew has contributed a lot to this incident. Without the cooperation of the crew and the technical guidance of Captain Brooke, I wouldn't have been able to complete this forced landing. "
Tony gave a thumbs up to Xia Ruofei and said, "Mr. Xia, the crew members will naturally get the rewards they deserve, including Captain Johnson, who died in the line of duty. Everyone will get the honor they deserve. However, as a veteran in the aviation industry, I deeply admire Mr. Xia's heroic feat! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and leaned over to add tea to Tony's cup. He didn't know how to respond when Tony praised him in front of his face. It wasn't good to be too modest. After all, the facts were right there!
From an economic point of view, the cost of this forced landing of an Airbus A350 was as high as 400 million dollars. In addition, there were hundreds of passengers on the plane. If the plane really fell into the sea, the economic loss would be huge.
Of course, the more important issue was the reputation of an airline. A fatal crash would be a huge blow to the reputation of an airline, not to mention that it was the suicide of their own pilot.
If Wilkins really succeeded in completing this crazy plan, it was conceivable that Qantas would be drowned in spittle, and the stock price would definitely plummet.
Tony continued, "Mr. Xia, I came to visit this time to express my sincere gratitude and respect to you on behalf of Qantas and myself, and also to discuss the next arrangements with you."
Xia Ruofei sat up straight, nodded and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
Tony said, "This afternoon, the investigation team about this special situation has been officially established. Our Qantas, as well as the civil aviation safety investigation departments of Australia, the United States, and Huaxia, have sent people to participate. All the people will be in place by tomorrow morning at the latest. At that time, we may need to find Mr. Xia to learn more about the situation."
Although Xia Ruofei had already described the incident to the Saipan police in detail, the investigation team would definitely still need to find him to understand the situation. After all, they would proceed from a more professional point of view, and the focus of attention would be different from the police.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said straightforwardly, "No problem!"
Tony then said, "And … After the preliminary investigation is completed, we will hold a press conference to announce some information to the public. Mr. Xia, do you want to keep your identity a secret?"
Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile, "I want to keep it a secret, but it doesn't make sense …"
Tony raised his eyebrows in confusion. Xia Ruofei turned on his mobile phone and randomly found a Weibo post to show to Tony and Alex.
Then he said, "This matter has been spread all over the country, and my photos have been exposed … So, there's no need to keep my personal information confidential."
Tony laughed and said, "I understand! Mr. Xia, you have made a great contribution to Qantas, and we will work out a reward plan as soon as possible! Whether it's you, Mr. Xia, or the other crew members, they will all be rewarded handsomely! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Thank you in advance!"
There was no need to be pretentious about this kind of money, as it was international practice. The domestic reward for the successful disposal of specially invited crew members was in the millions, not to mention the money from a foreigner. Xia Ruofei could take it without any psychological pressure.
"It's us who should say thank you!" Tony said with a smile, then picked up the teacup and drank it. He stood up and said, "Mr. Xia, then we won't disturb your rest! If you need anything, please contact Alex. Please stay in the hotel as much as possible tomorrow morning, because the investigation team may ask you about the situation! "
"OK!" Xia Ruofei also stood up and sent the two of them out.
…
Not long after Xia Ruofei returned to his room, Feng Jing came to see him after taking a nap.
As soon as she entered the door, Feng Jing said with a smile, "Ruofei, now you are a big Internet celebrity!"
Xia Ruofei said with a depressed face, "Don't tell me you didn't sleep, and that you were browsing Weibo all afternoon!"
"How is that possible?" Feng Jing said, "I just took a look after I woke up. Your handsome photos are all over Weibo, WeChat, WeChat Moments!"
In fact, Feng Jing really didn't sleep well. Although she was very tired physically and mentally, she kept dreaming after she fell asleep. She repeatedly dreamed of the horrible scene in the sky, and constantly experienced the feeling of weightlessness in her dreams. When she woke up, she was sweating all over.
"Is this bad news spreading like wildfire?" Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile.
"How can it be bad news?" Feng Jing said with a smile, "Even if it was bad news, it's good news now, isn't it?"
Feng Jing said as she scrolled through Weibo on her mobile phone. Then, she couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong now?" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but ask.
In the afternoon, countless people took advantage of his Weibo, and now he had a phobia. He was afraid that something bad would happen.
Feng Jing said with a smile, "You didn't idle around in the afternoon either! You even recorded a video for Dong Yun and the others? Look at the comments on this Weibo, it's so funny … "
Xia Ruofei then remembered the video. He originally wanted to call Guan Ping to ask about it, but after Tony and Alex came to visit, he forgot about it.
Xia Ruofei quickly took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo. He wanted to see if Guan Ping and the others had deleted the video and reposted it.
In the end, when he clicked on it, the video was still the same video, but there were already thousands of comments below it.
"What's going on …" Xia Ruofei said to himself.
He scrolled down the page and saw the comments of the netizens. He suddenly almost spat out blood.
When everyone saw Xia Ruofei's embarrassment in the video, they happily left comments on Weibo.
"Hahaha! Boss Xia is so cute! Does this count as a forced advertising failure? "
"I just wanted to focus on recording a video. Why is it so difficult? Can't you guys wait for me to finish reading the advertisement? "
"Pfft … I want to see the extent of Boss Xia's psychological trauma!"
"It's over, it's over. I'm Boss Xia's fan now!"
"Fan + 1"
"Is it really okay for you to do this for the operations of the Taoyuan Company? The boss's image has been ruined by you guys! Can't you edit this video? Regarding your lazy behavior, I only have four words to say: Well done! "
"Wahaha! The operations girl of the Taoyuan Company wants an extra drumstick! "
…
Xia Ruofei was a little dumbfounded. The effect of this broken video was surprisingly good. He casually scrolled through it and saw several "passers-by turned fans" comments.
Moreover, the netizens were quite happy. Some people even took a GIF from the last part of the video and added the words "Baby's heart is bitter" to make an emoji pack.
Feng Jing also finished watching the video. She laughed so hard that she held her stomach and rolled on the sofa. She said, "Ruofei, your image is completely ruined!"
Xia Ruofei snorted and said, "It must be Guan Ping's bad idea! He even promised me that he would edit it well! I actually believed him … "
Xia Ruofei became more depressed the more he thought about it. He couldn't help but say, "No, I have to call back and scold him!"
Feng Jing quickly stopped him and said, "Don't, don't, don't! I think the effect is quite good! This is Guan Ping's idea? I have to reward him when I go back! "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Sister Jing, do you like to go against me so much?"
Feng Jing said seriously, "I'm just stating the facts! This is the rule of new media operations. Everyone is tired of serious things. Sometimes, you need to win by surprise! And didn't you realize that in this way, your image immediately became very down-to-earth? Although everyone is laughing at you, they definitely don't have that sense of distance in their hearts! "
"You guys are just messing around …" Xia Ruofei said gloomily. Then, he couldn't help but mutter, "You guys don't take me seriously as your boss …"
Feng Jing chuckled and said, "Alright, alright! Don't act like you're the one who's taken advantage of! Everyone is creating a new image for you! Don't talk about this. Since you're out, you have to trust your colleagues back home. Let them do what they should, and don't always tell them what to do! This is what you said! "
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and fiddled with his phone.
Feng Jing asked, "What are you doing? Are you really going to call back and scold Guan Ping? "
Xia Ruofei said unhappily, "I'm hungry! Can I call the front desk and ask them to deliver food? "
"Use the landline to call the internal line!" Feng Jing said, "So stupid!"
Xia Ruofei was a little embarrassed. He said stubbornly, "I was confused by you guys!"
…
The next morning, Alex came to Xia Ruofei's room and asked Xia Ruofei to go to the investigation team to cooperate with them.
The investigation team also stayed at the Kaiyue Hotel and rented a conference room.
When Xia Ruofei followed Alex to the conference room, there were already more than 20 people sitting there. As soon as he entered the room, all eyes fell on him.
Many people were curious, but even more were in disbelief.
Xia Ruofei also saw a few yellow-skinned and black-haired faces among these people.
When they saw Xia Ruofei, they immediately greeted him and took the initiative to introduce themselves in Chinese. "Hello, Boss Xia! We are the staff of the security investigation department of Huaxia's Civil Aviation General Administration. We are also participating in the investigation this time! My surname is Li, and I am the leader of the team this time! "
"Hello, Director Li!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
He didn't know the official position of this person, but it shouldn't be wrong to call him Director. Director was probably the most common title in the country. It could be as small as a stockholder, or as big as a minister or even a deputy national.
Director Li smiled and said, "Hello, Boss Xia! You have brought glory to Huaxia this time! Before we left, Director Xue from the General Administration specifically asked us to pass on his greetings to you! "
Xia Ruofei didn't know who Director Xue was, but he still said politely, "Thank you, thank you!"
