Chapter 1: Adventure in the Clouds

Next Chapter

Liu Siyong sat by the window and looked out from the narrow window of the plane - in fact, it was already dark, and there was no scenery to see on the early morning flight, he maintained this posture, just in a daze.

Today is his thirtieth birthday, and the ancients said: Thirty and stand, stand, should be able to establish the world, the meaning of the career. But for Liu Siyong, at the age of thirty, he has nothing.

Three months ago, he was also the chief planner of a design and planning company in SZ City, specializing in planning all kinds of high-end activities......

However, three months ago, the company made an extremely important confidential bidding that fell into his hands - his planning and design were actually obtained by competitors before winning the bid, not only copying his plan, but also winning the approval of Party A (official) at a lower price.

While the bid was significant, for Mr. Liu's company, the failure was not the biggest reason for his dismissal. The biggest reason is that the plan of the secret bidding is completely controlled by a direct competitor when only you are fully aware of it, and anyone will suspect that he has received the benefits of the other party and secretly sold the plan to the opponent. Even if there is no evidence, this kind of suspicion is intolerable to the company's CEO!

And what makes the company bosses even more afraid is that this leak is only in the bidding stage, and the consequence is only to lose the bid. But what if it is the stage when the company starts operating after winning the bid? You know, this is an event in cooperation with the government! The leakage of the confidential bidding project will directly affect the company's confidential qualifications, and at the same time, the person in charge of the company will also bear certain legal responsibilities! The consequences can be said to be unimaginable!

Dismiss! After three days of research and discussion, the company reluctantly dismissed this excellent planner with a bright future! Moreover, this "disgraceful" resignation has made Liu Siyong have no place in the entire cultural media industry - even if you have an excellent resume, no company dares to use your "anti-backbone"!

Liu Siyong himself knows very well that he is innocent, but he is speechless. He also thought about investigating this matter, but the industry circle strictly guarded against him, a "tainted person", and he had no way to investigate. Immediately afterwards, the pressure of expensive mortgages and consumption levels in SZ City made him breathless. He was depressed, depressed, aggrieved, and disappointed...... He was almost overrun by so many emotions.

Taking a cheap flight this time is a "adjustment trip" that he wants to do with his only remaining savings - to go to the north of the island country to relax, let the snow there be white, purify his soul, and let the simple life in the countryside relieve the troubles of the world. At the age of thirty, he needs to cheer up as soon as possible!

Cheap flights often have unfriendly departure times and are in a lot of condition. It was close to one o'clock in the morning, and the passengers had been boarding for nearly an hour, and the plane was still parked on the runway, waiting for the order to take off.

Everyone was very uncomfortable - they boarded the plane early but did not take off on time, and the excuse given was only "airport scheduling". The reason for "taking off at any time" makes passengers sit in cramped seats and wait, unable to return to the departure hall to rest.

Many people are sleepy and hungry, and with the anxiety of not taking off for a long time, many are already complaining. The flight attendants remained elegantly composed, perhaps accustomed to the situation, and dealt with the passengers' grievances in a very formal manner.

Liu Siyong is about a quiet minority, his thoughts are flying unconsciously, and the dark night outside the window is like an abyss, devouring red dust.

"Sir, please turn off your mobile phone, the plane will take off soon, please keep your electronic devices off."

The flight attendant's pleasant prompt suddenly sounded near Liu Siyong, interrupting his fugue.

“Excuse me?” The flight attendants responded with authentic rice-style English.

Liu Siyong suddenly found that in the front seat of his was actually a black man wearing an old-fashioned coat, a woolen scarf, and a round-brimmed felt hat. He turned half of his face sideways, so that Liu Siyong in the back seat saw a huge chin, dotted with gray scum, and his big copper bell-like eyes revealed doubts, and he looked at the flight attendant in confusion.

Crooked nuts? Well, it's not unusual, it's an international flight after all.

“Sorry,Mr…… Morris! "The flight attendant immediately switched to English mode," (the following are translated in Chinese) Mr. Morris, the plane is about to take off, please turn off the electronic communication equipment. ”

"Oh, that's right...... But the flight has been delayed for a long time, and there is nothing to take off now, so I think it should be okay to use your mobile phone before the plane runs, right? "The black man named Morris did not do as the stewardess instructed.

The flight attendant showed a standard smile, "I'm sorry, we received instructions that we will take off at any time, so please cooperate with ......"

"At any time, at any time, it's an hour, I don't think I can fly for another hour, are we just going to sit still?" Morris's tone was calm, but there was also dissatisfaction in his words.

"Sir, that's the rule. Electronic communication equipment will interfere with and affect the normal operation of the aircraft, which is harmful to a certain extent, as long as we board the aircraft, we must keep the electronic communication equipment off. As for the time of takeoff, this is not under our control......" The flight attendant seemed to explain patiently, but she did not intend to back down in her words.

This will undoubtedly make the long-waiting passengers even more irritable, and the black uncle clearly has no intention of compromising. But the flight attendant firmly grasped the point that "electronic communication equipment will cause potential safety hazards", and the verbal confrontation was not weak at all.

Both of them grew louder, causing the passengers on the plane to be distracted, and a higher-ranking flight attendant came over and began to admonish them two-on-one. Morris was clearly no match for the two, and the rhetoric quickly fell behind.

"If mobile phones really have such a big security threat, they shouldn't let passengers take them on the plane, right?"

A slightly flat voice suddenly interjected, also in authentic rice-style English.

"Excuse me, what did you say?" The senior flight attendant was slightly stunned, and tilted his head to the back row of the black Morris, only to see a man with a depressed temperament interjecting seemingly casually, it was Liu Siyong, who had not said a word before.

"If mobile phones really pose a huge danger, then why don't airlines simply list them as contraband? Or simply let passengers check in their mobile phones? Liu Siyong's tone was calm, still speaking in English, "Since passengers are allowed to carry mobile phones, it means that the risk is controllable." I'm sure this gentleman would have turned off his phone before the plane took off, and there was no need for you to spend your time arguing with a gentleman. Instead of that, tell us an accurate time of departure. ”

These words have aroused the approval of many passengers! Even some people who couldn't understand English agreed when they asked others. At the moment, everyone is most bitter about flight delays, and sitting for an hour is quite unbearable, so even if the black Morris is a little violated, the passengers think he is right.

At this time, not only Morris, but also many passengers who had turned off their mobile phones also took out their mobile phones and began to swipe up the dynamics, expressing "public opinion" with actions.

The senior flight attendant was quite helpless, so she had to tell the flight attendants to urge everyone to turn off their mobile phones once the plane started. Then, I walked quickly to the cab.

"Hey, young man, thank you!" Seeing that the "victory" had been achieved, the black uncle in the front row turned his back with a smile on his face and thanked Liu Siyong.

"You're welcome." Liu Siyong nodded in greeting, and then looked out the window again, ready to travel again.

But Morris, the black man, continued to speak, and only heard him say:

"Your point of view is sharp, and it hits the nail on the head at once! How come I never thought about this before? You must have been flying a lot, right? ”

"Yes, professional relationships." Liu Siyong had no choice but to answer.

"Coincidentally, so did I...... It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Steele – Steele Morris. The black uncle stretched out a hand across his seat.

"You can call me, Liu ......" Liu Siyong shook his hand out of politeness. As soon as I held it, I felt the plane shake, and then a sense of turmoil came over me - a sign that the plane was moving.

Then, the flight attendants were already reminded on the plane radio that the plane was finally about to take off, please fasten your seat belts and of course, remind everyone to turn off their mobile phones immediately.

After a while, the plane rose from the ground and rushed into the sky in the night.

I don't know how long it was, but the plane was already moving forward in the clouds, the lights in the cabin were dim, and most of the passengers were asleep. A few were bored, either flipping through the old aviation magazines in their hands over and over again, or chatting with their neighbors. Liu Siyong, on the other hand, maintained a posture of looking out the window and continued to be empty - fortunately, all the passengers around him fell asleep, including the Mr. Morris.

The relative tranquility made Liu Siyong's spirit completely relaxed. Although it was pitch black outside the window, he couldn't see anything clearly, but his eyes weren't just to see anything, only a little flash of light appeared to be conspicuous - it was the signal light on the wings of the plane.

Suddenly, the plane jolted, and many light sleepers were woken up. According to common sense, this is probably an airflow disturbance, and it is not a big deal. So, the awakened man quickly closed his eyes again.

However, this air flow does not seem to be suitable for people who need sleep, and the shaking of the plane continues and becomes more and more intense! This caused the passengers to wake up and start to worry.

"Please sit in your seats...... It is normal for the plane to encounter turbulence due to turbulence due to turbulence......" On the radio, the gentle voice of the flight attendant comforted the passengers over and over again. But as the frequency of the plane's shaking reached an extremely high level, this comforting sound couldn't stop everyone's nervousness!

"What's going on? I've never been like this before......"

"Yes, this tremor is too violent! It's not any ordinary air current, isn't it......"

Liu Siyong also frowned and came back to his senses from the air. It's just that he can't do anything at the moment, and subconsciously, he still looks out the window.

"Hey, what's that?"

Liu Siyong was surprised to find that many flashing bright spots suddenly appeared in the originally dark night sky outside the window, and these bright spots were connected by white silver lines, looming in the dark clouds!

"It's ...... Thunderstorm?! How can an airplane encounter a thunderstorm at a high tropospheric point? And in the blink of an eye, the surroundings were already full of lightning? ”

The likelihood of a thunderstorm on a modern civil aircraft is almost zero! Because the plane is flying on clouds at an altitude of 10,000 meters, thunderstorm cumulonimbus clouds generally cannot reach that height, and the range of thunderstorm cumulonimbus clouds generally does not exceed a few tens of kilometers. Even if a thunderstorm is detected, the plane can avoid it in advance...... But right now, the plane seems to have flown into a thunderstorm, what is the situation?

Many doubts appeared in Liu Siyong's mind, and before he could ask, in the next second, the light outside the dark window was bright! A silver snake as thick as a bucket appeared outside the window - it was a lightning bolt, so close that it was almost close to the window, dazzling Liu Siyong's eyes!

Then, the plane suddenly came to a big turbulence! Caught off guard, Liu Siyong's head suddenly hit the bulkhead next to the seat! Intense pain, along with something strange, rushed into his mind.

=================================================================================================================================

In the first chapter, friends who may have read the book will feel that this book does not seem to have any "cool text" shadow, and even the intersection between the protagonist and the black uncle seems to be just to highlight the protagonist's character.

In fact, Ah Mao thought that any plot and plot in the novel would not appear plainly. Foreshadowing, burying threads, is for the future plot, a better climax.

Ah Mao didn't mind, and when the book friends saw the first chapter, the second chapter, and the third chapter, they felt bland. But I hope that book lovers can see the 100th and 200th chapters, and say "I see", "What he wrote earlier is intentional." "I don't want everyone to feel enjoyable when they see the first, second and third chapters, but when they see the back, they feel crooked, watery, and boring......

Therefore, this book has an outline, please believe in Ah Mao, and rest assured to read it.

Finally, I would like to say a few corny words: new books are uploaded, and newcomers ask for support.
