Chapter 122: Suit

Probably because someone often travels to Hong Kong for business, the BAC1-11 under United Airlines, which is responsible for the direct flight mission from Shengjing to Hong Kong, is obviously a new aircraft that only rolled off the assembly line from Romania last year.

Climbing along the boarding ramp to the door of the cabin, Liang Yuan, a flight attendant who greeted passengers at the door, suddenly felt that his eyes lit up suddenly, and the uniform of the United Airlines attendant was very different from the flight attendants of other domestic airlines.

The earliest flight attendants in China should have been AVIC and Central Airlines under the government of the Republic of China, and there were about 20 flight attendants in the country at that time to provide flight services for the senior officials and dignitaries of the military and government of the national government.

The clothing of flight attendants was deeply influenced by the United States, and Western-style straight skirts, women's white shirts, and variant berets became the standard clothing of flight attendants in the Republic of China.

After the founding of the Republic, the number of passenger planes in the country was enough to be counted with one pair of hands, and the flight attendants at that time basically changed careers from the army halfway, and the flight attendant clothing also chose blue and green military uniforms.

After the reopening, exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong became more and more frequent, and the flight attendants of the Republic were first influenced by the popular costumes of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the multi-fold long skirts and white gauze shirts worn by the citizens in Hong Kong movies became the standard equipment of the flight attendants of the Republic of China.

However, the popular clothing of the citizen class was not suitable for professional service personnel after all, and by the mid-80s, the typical modern workplace attire Western-style skirt gradually became the standard for civil aviation service personnel in the Republic.

As a leader in the civil aviation industry of the Republic, Air China, another domestic airline qualified to carry the national flag, even invited the internationally renowned French fashion designer Pierre Cardin to design a suit and skirt embellished with traditional Chinese elements for Air China.

United Airlines' flight attendant uniforms choose dirt-resistant deep sea blue as the main color of clothing, which is not unusual in the global civil aviation service industry, and what is unusual is the cut of United Airlines' flight attendant uniforms.

Although it seems that United's flight attendant uniform resembles a corset dress, Liang Yuan, who has a vicious gaze, recognizes at a glance that United's uniform is a deep variant of Hanfu, a traditional Chinese costume.

The top and bottom, the collar, the right side, and the tie, there is no place that no longer silently tells the country of clothes. The state of etiquette has a long history.

United Airlines uniforms do not have the collar of Western-style clothing at all, and the flight attendant's neck only has a collar similar to that of a traditional Hanfu placket.

The flight attendants wore a three-finger-wide corset belt dyed with a white and blue blue porcelain pattern around their waists, magnifying the quiet and soft temperament of women to the extreme.

Considering the actual needs of flight attendants, United Airlines has greatly improved the traditional Chinese costume Hanfu, and the wide sleeves have been replaced by close-fitting three-quarter sleeves that expose less than half of the forearms. The floor-sweeping pleated skirt has also been transformed into a simple straight-leg ladies' dress.

Compared with the delicate and sexy sensuality of suits and skirts, United Airlines' professional suits highlight the subtle, elegant and natural traditional culture of the Republic.

Simple but not simple, this familiar advertising phrase suddenly came out of Liang Yuan's mind.

Unexpectedly, Liang Yuan secretly sighed that when the limelight of suits and skirts in the domestic civil aviation industry was exhausted, this kind of professional suit that was incompatible with the fashion trend was 100% set by Tang Wan.

If it weren't for witnessing Liang Yuan's decision, Tang Wan still had a lot of classical feelings hidden under the appearance of chasing fashion trends.

Compared with the sexy and delicate foreign product, the subtle and tactful can arouse the aesthetic taste of the people of the Republic more, just like Liang Yuan. Almost every passenger who boarded the plane involuntarily slowed down when they saw the United Airlines passengers at the door of the cabin, staring up and down at the flight attendant for a few seconds before entering the cabin slightly embarrassed under the prompting of the flight attendant.

After a period of turmoil, all the ticketed passengers of flight KN5503 boarded the flight and prepared to depart, and the flight attendant picked up the microphone as usual and began to make a routine announcement before take-off.

It is very different from the flight attendants who talked about flight attendants before takeoff, and the passengers were busy with their own work, and almost all the eyes of the passengers in the entire cabin were focused on the flight attendants when the flight attendants spoke.

Facing this kind of blazing eyes, Liang Yuan was amused to find that even if he had received good vocational training, a blush on the cheeks of the flight attendant's delicate makeup still faintly appeared.

The flight attendant had just finished broadcasting. The two ladies sitting in front of Liang Yuan waved to the flight attendant impatiently, and then unexpectedly asked where the flight attendant's professional suit could be bought.

It is probably because United Airlines has just launched a Hong Kong route. Flight KN5503 was only half-filled, and several rows of seats were vacant at the rear of the cabin.

During the flight, Liang Yuan deliberately ran to the tail of the BAC1-11 and felt the noise impact of the tail crane engine on the interior of the cabin, and it has to be said that the tail noise of the BAC1-11 passenger aircraft using Spey MK500 series aero engine is much greater than that of the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 series.

Of course, both the BAC1-11 and Spey MK500 series are the mainstream technology of the sixties in the international aviation industry. and the latest Boeing 737, A320 has a generation-wide technical gap.

The 2,300-kilometer BAC1-11 is destined to not meet the technical requirements of Shengjing's non-stop direct flight to Hong Kong.

Walking out of the entry channel, far away from Lao Yuanliang, I saw Qi Lianshan, Niu Bijian and others in suits and leather shoes holding high the stop sign.

"Welcome to Hong Kong for inspection. Qi Lianshan stretched out his hand to take the suitcase in Liang Yuan's hand.

Liang Yuan's gaze swept over Qi Lianshan, and Niu Bijian's face turned twice. It was funny to find that the smile on the face of this old businessman was still professional and meticulous, but the fluctuation and horror in his eyes were almost as real as the substance.

Looking at Niu Bijian's expression, Liang Yuan could guess what Qi Lianshan and Niu Bijian said with his toes.

The acquisition of Jardine Matheson has long been a certainty, and now only the last nail is left to be hammered, and when Jardine Hong Kong's assets were merged into Yuanjia, the substantial restructuring of Jardine Matheson's structure is destined to be inseparable from Niu Bijian, a veteran horse, and it is reasonable for Qi Lianshan to pull Liang Yuan out of the background.

Liang Yuan estimated that before Qi Lianshan picked him up, he must have mysteriously said to Niu Bijian that the mastermind behind the acquisition came to Hong Kong, and we will go to the airport today to pick up the big boss.

Then, the tragedy of the new Bijian...

Liang Yuan casually threw the suitcase to Qi Lianshan, and said with a smile in English: "Mr. Su, Mr. Liu, the tradition they left behind, Mr. Qi really did his best. ”

Looking at Niu Bijian's expression, Liang Yuan knew that this professional manager needed time to calm down and straighten out the reality, except for nodding and greeting, Liang Yuan didn't say anything to Niu Bijian, and walked directly to the outside of the terminal.

In addition to the two secretaries who were born in China and already knew Liang Yuan's identity, Qi Lianshan came to the airport to pick up the station, and the group of five people walked out of the terminal building and turned to the airport parking lot.

It was still a milky white high-topped sea lion, opened the car door, Qi Lianshan sat in the driver's seat, and said with a smile: "It's rare that you didn't bring your own driver, and I'll make a cameo today." ”

Since AXBX was created, Liang Yuan has either been Xiong Weixin as a driver in Hong Kong these times, or it is the "South China Sea fisherman" Weng Chengji who has just changed jobs, this time it coincides with the 40th National Day of the Republic, Xiong Weixin's task in China is heavier, Weng Chengji was also temporarily transferred back to China, Liang Yuan is rare to leave the organization's sight.

Qi Lianshan refused the secretary's request to replace the shift, and after everyone got into the car, he turned the sea lion out of the parking lot and drove onto JCDecaux Road in front of the airport.

However, Niu Bijian completely calmed down his emotions through these few minutes, and said in strange Chinese: "If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe the legend in front of me, the Chinese ancestors said it very well, the heroes who can leave a name in history have always been famous when they were young, and the ancestors will definitely not lie."

Liang Yuan turned Niu Bijian's words in his head several times, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter, saying in his heart that it is called a hero from ancient times, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Haha, Liang Yuan said in English to Niu Bijian, who was sitting across the aisle, in English: "President New still speaks his mother tongue, I have to translate myself to fully understand when you speak Chinese." ”

"No, no, please allow me to call you the same as Qi, Jardine is about to become an honorary Chinese-funded enterprise, about to have the world's largest market as the backing and cornerstone of the company's survival and development, the Chinese of the company's culture is the biggest and most necessary turning point in the century-old calendar of Jardine Matheson, which is also a necessary step before the bright future." Niu Bijian said seriously.

The British sycophant style is really very different from the Chinese sycophant, Liang Yuan reluctantly put his finger against his forehead, and he could only follow Niu Bijian in language. (To be continued......)
