Chapter 0170
“She’s quite full of herself, huh.”
Yu Lulei leaned back, sneering as she glanced over her shoulder at the crowd, “But seriously, how do you even know this Shihua person?
Who is she?”
“???”
Kou Mei, not having known Yu Lulei long but on good terms, spoke plainly without beating around the bush, “You don’t even know who she is, what are you scornful for?”
“Do I have to know her?” Yu Lulei was genuinely curious, “But her name does sound kind of familiar.”
Kou Mei, resigned, summed it up, “She’s better than you.”
Yu Lulei’s eyes widened in disbelief, “You really think that little of me?!
The women in that group were from minor airlines. If she were that impressive, wouldn’t she have joined a major company by now?
However, Charlie’s slow, deliberate response was just, “It’s true.”
Charlie continued, “Captain Kou isn’t belittling you; she’s just sta
facts.”
“ווו”
Yu Lulei’s competitive spirit instantly surged, and she huddled with the other three in a tight circle, “So who is this paragon?”
“A well-known international female pilot with an outstanding record…
up until today, she was with Mukino Airline,” Kou Mei shared everything she knew.
Charlie added, “I’ve checked out her flight videos from abroad, she’s definitely strong.”
Yu Lulei was crushed, turning to Madison with hopeful eyes for a gentler perspective.
Unexpectedly, Madison simply nodded in agreement.
Yu Lulei almost dropped to her knees.
Kou Mei grasped her, “Don’t be so downhearted. You were wrong to aspire to be the first S-tier from the beginning. With all of us here, did you really think you’d be the first? Consider yourself lucky if you can even achieve an S-tier.”
“That’s true,” Yu Lulei quickly composed herself, straightening her
uniform.
She was the sole female representative from Song Airline; she couldn’t afford to show weakness.
Not to mention, she wouldn’t allow the women from Mukino Airline and National Airline to look down on her.
“Hey, why aren’t you with your colleagues?” Yu Lulei couldn’t help but stir some conversation.
Kou Mei glanced towards the group, “We’re not in the san and I’m not familiar with them.”
The women pilots from National Airline numbered five, but w unlucky one taken ill and not participating, the other three stood together.
It might seem harmonious, but rivalry among peers is always present
Charlie understood perfectly and patted Kou Mei’s shoulder in
D,
solidarity.
Yu Lulei, however, didn’t grasp the situation, “Why are you two communicating with looks?”
Seeing this, Madison couldn’t watch any longer and kindly explained to the genuinely naive girl, “Captain Kou is being isolated.”
“”isol… Uhm!!!”
Yu Lulei’s outcry was abruptly stifled as Charlie clamped a hand over Then mouth.
The commotion ceased instantly.
Within two meters, the male pilots from Mukino Airline curiously I looked around.
Henry remarked with a sense of novelty, “They sure are open coverseas, huh.”
BBitanwas confused, “What happened?”
“They’ve got chickens here of all places.”
“Chickens?”
“Dictyyou just hear that ‘cluck’ sound?”
Britan booked baffled, “When? I didn’t hear anything.”
Henmyystinook his head, “Uncle, with your hearing, how did you pass the
maddbad leccan??”
“Iffiksunnollated to planes, I don’t bother listening,” joked Bria
Following this lead) Henry added, “Well, roosters are kind of like pleness.right??”
Laughter erupttebaantong the male pilots.
The four female pilots nearby: ”
“Are they talking about me?” For once, Yu Lulei’s brain wasn’t short- circuiting.
Kou Mei nudged her forward, “No, they are talking about chickens. Go draw your lot.”
The box with the lots had been brought over, and Yu Lulei had already performed a mental ritual for good luck, though she wasn’t sure what good it would do in something as professional as this.
She pulled out a slip and declared, “Group 13.”
The other female pilots followed, drawing their lots, with the staff recording their groups on the spot.
Madison, having recorded her number and turning around, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.
She looked up to meet Charlie’s gaze.
It was intentional.
The impact was not slight, hitting a sensitive spot on Madison’s shoulder, sending a sharp pain through her.
Charlie, noticing the incident, quickly pulled Madison aside, “Captain Shi, are your eyes on the top of your head?”
Charlie only smirked without a word, glanced at Madison, and w
draw her lot.
Before long, Yu Lulei shuffled over, “It’s over, that woman is also Group 26.”
Group 26?
Yu Lulei frowned at the three women before her, “Good luck.”
Perhaps it was fate or just sheer coincidence, but now Charlie, Kou Mei, Shihua, and Madison were all in Group 26.
The fifth member was from another minor airline-five in total.
“It’s okay, just the first round,” Kou Mei assured.
They weren’t competitors; they were there to demonstrate their professional skills.
Madison spoke up, “Is the first task at dusk?”
“Yes.”
Everyone could return to their designated hotels for rest.
Deputy Director Ye had arranged accommodations early on.
“Are we staying together?” Yu Lulei walked with them.
Kou Mei nodded, “Sure.”
All the way to the hotel, Madison was quiet.
Until they entered the booked room, where the other three continued discussing the ranking. Madison, the first through the door, suddenly ripped open her uniform.
Yu Lulei’s eyes bulged, her mouth betraying her mind, “Madison, what are you doing? We have very normal sexual orientations here!”
Kou Mei kept her eyes on Madison’s actions.
Charlie approached, “What happened?”
Madison bit her lip, examining the five-millimeter thorn on her shoulder.
She pulled it out.
“Where did that thorn come from?” Yu Lulei asked in concern.
Charlie looked shocked, “Could it be from when Shihua bumped into you?”
Madison didn’t answer, instead calling the medical staff responsible
for the domestic flight team to bring over some disinfectant.
The team doctor came personally to treat the small wound.
A mere five or six minutes later, as Madison took off her uniform again, the others gasped.
“Why is it so red?!” Yu Lulei couldn’t believe it.
The doctor frowned, “Don’t move.”
She squeezed the wound, and the blood that came out was an
unusual color.
“Is it poisoned?” Charlie guessed.
The doctor mixed something from her kit with the blood.
After a while, she stood up, her expression solemn, “I’ll go find Deputy Director Ye. You sit here, don’t move, and don’t drink any water.”
