65: Is the list of confirmed employees incorrect?

"Yuyao, time to get up."

When she woke up again, it was because Lu Hanxiao had woken her up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she discovered that Sister Xiao was in her room, helping her look for clothes.

"Today is the Airline Company's conversion ceremony, so you can't be late. Get up quickly."

Lu Hanxiao adopted an older sister's tone as she spoke to Pan Yuyao.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up in bed.

"Do we have a flight mission today?"

"We don't have a flight today, but we have one early tomorrow morning."

Lu Hanxiao knew the flight schedule by heart. "Becoming a regular is the top priority!"

As their regular flight partner, Lu Hanxiao naturally hoped that the three of them could always fly together in the future.

Unlike before, when she always encountered difficult people and all sorts of people with connections.

"Alright, Sister Xiao, stop rushing me, I'm already moving fast. Lazybones, hurry up."

Pan Yuyao crawled out of bed. "By the way, what is Xiao Ba doing today?"

"Another flight crew was short-handed, so they transferred her over to help. She left early this morning before dawn."

"Huh? Will she be able to make it for our flight early tomorrow morning?"

"Don't worry, it's a short-haul flight; she'll be back by the afternoon."

"Sigh, working in this industry, we really are just pure workhorses."

Pan Yuyao complained while putting on her Flight Attendant uniform.

She suddenly regretted dragging Di Xiaoba out to go swimming last night.

Since she received a temporary flight assignment, she definitely didn't get enough sleep.

She couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

"What else can we do? Flight Attendants are just glorified servers," Lu Hanxiao smiled. "People on the outside have this filtered view, thinking it's such a big deal."

"But I see many people in the company who seem so relaxed. Coming to work is like going on vacation," Pan Yuyao asked.

Unlike them, who were genuinely flying in the sky almost every day.

They often had to stay in strange cities and unfamiliar hotels.

Sometimes there were only five or six hours between two flights, not even enough time to sleep.

Although the salary was high, it was built up by long flight hours.

"Yuyao, you're still too naive," Lu Hanxiao laughed. "Those people have connections to the higher-ups or someone backing them. Don't compare yourself to them."

"Now that you put it that way, I understand," Pan Yuyao said, tying a blue and red scarf around her neck. "Many big bosses still really like Flight Attendants."

"What, are you looking to find a big boss?" Lu Hanxiao glared at her.

"I don't like those bald-headed guys with potbellies. If I were to find someone, it would have to be someone like the Landlord..."

Realizing she had spoken too quickly, she quickly shut her mouth.

Fortunately, Lu Hanxiao didn't say anything.

After the two of them finished getting ready, they headed to the Jiangcheng Airline Company.

"Sister Xiao, I'm still a little worried. What if I don't pass the conversion?"

Pan Yuyao appeared a bit nervous.

"Don't worry, I've seen your scores for every assessment. Passing the conversion won't be difficult," Lu Hanxiao smiled.

At the Jiangcheng Airline Company, there were over 100 intern Flight Attendants in this batch.

There were 30 spots for those who could become regulars.

A one-third ratio wasn't too bad.

Given Pan Yuyao's image, temperament, and performance, although she might not be the best, she was definitely secure in the top thirty.

Her assessment scores had been consistently stable between 25 and 28.

"That's good."

Pan Yuyao also felt relieved.

"Mr. Zhang, this is the list of intern Flight Attendants for this batch who are becoming regulars. I'm sending it for you to review."

In the bedroom, Zhang Yu was lying in bed, having just woken up not long ago, when he received a list.

As the Major Shareholder behind the Airlines, he didn't interfere with the actual operational business.

However, all kinds of reports and lists would be sent to him for review.

Zhang Yu looked at the list. At a glance, he noticed that Pan Yuyao's name was missing.

There was, however, someone with the surname Pan on the list, named Pan Jinhe.

"What's going on with this conversion list?"

Zhang Yu spotted the problem and immediately called the Airline Company. "Someone's assessment scores didn't meet the standard, so why were they selected in the end?"

"Mr. Zhang, it's like this. These few individuals all have relationships with the Airline Company's long-term strategic partners. This person named Pan Jinhe, her future father-in-law is a leader in the department that supervises our Airline Company. They have already given us a heads-up in advance."

The implication was that none of them could be offended.

After all, the Flight Attendant position was just an entry-level job; it wasn't worth offending those business partners and regulatory departments over such a trivial matter.

It would also be detrimental to the company's development.

"So that's how it is?"

Zhang Yu's eyes fell into deep thought. He quickly had an idea in his mind.

"The wonderful performance has concluded. Now, I will officially announce the list of Flight Attendants who are becoming regulars this year!"

At the Jiangcheng Airline Company, the auditorium was packed with hundreds of seats filled.

These were all the interns about to become regulars, along with their supervising mentors, as well as the middle and senior management of the Airline Company.

Currently, the person reading the list on stage was the HR Manager of the Airline Company.

Offstage, the prospective Flight Attendants about to become regulars began to whisper among themselves.

The names on the list were read out one by one. Those whose names were called cheered, disregarding the hundreds of people present.

"Sister Xiao, I'm scared." Pan Yuyao grabbed Lu Hanxiao's hand.

Lu Hanxiao comforted her, but she also started to feel anxious herself.

There were 30 names, and the remaining spots were becoming fewer and fewer.

"The last one, Pan..."

The HR Manager paused after reading this and took a sip of water.

Upon hearing this character, Pan Yuyao perked up. She gripped Lu Hanxiao's hand even tighter.

"Pan Jinhe!"

The HR Manager read out the final name.

"Yay!" A woman sitting in the back row, who had been playing on her phone the entire time, cheered.

Why her? Many people present were puzzled.

At the Airline Company, Pan Jinhe was late every three days and absent every five days. Her performance was very poor, and she was notorious in the company.

Everyone believed in their hearts that once her internship ended, she would surely be kicked out. They also asserted that no other Airline Company would want her either.

Because the interns at the Airlines had the highest quality, even if they couldn't become regulars, many of those who weren't selected would be taken by other companies.

But those with poor performance, whom the Airlines didn't want, wouldn't be wanted by others either.

They didn't expect that Pan Jinhe would actually become a regular?

Many of the hundreds of people present only then realized it in hindsight. So, she had connections.

There were many people with connections at the Airline Company, but most were very low-key.

Someone as high-profile and lazy as her being able to become a regular—wasn't that just smearing the reputation of the Airlines?

Everyone felt a bit unwilling to accept this.

As for Pan Yuyao, at this moment, all the light had left her eyes. The strength in her hands also completely slackened.

"Yuyao, don't cry, I'll go ask what's going on."

Lu Hanxiao looked at her appearance and was also a bit at a loss for what to do.

How did a sure thing end up falling through?

No, this matter must have an explanation!
