Contrasted with Shihua and Charlie’s splendid performance, Madison felt neither jealousy nor pressure.
In fact, before the assessment began, it was Madison who had tipped Charlie off about calculating the wind to safeguard the boards.
“Thanks a lot.”
Settled back in her seat, Charlie gave Madison’s shoulder a gentle
bump.
As Madison turned to look at her, she was suddenly reminded of the day she applied at Mukino International. Nervously waiting for her interview in the corridor, she caught sight of Charlie striding past in her captain’s uniform.
With this memory, Madison spoke up, “The first time I saw you, I thought you were so cool, so dashing. And I told myself I had to become an outstanding female captain just like you.”
Hearing this, Charlie’s mouth dropped open in surprise, “You…”
“When and where did you see me?”
Charlie was naturally proud to hear Madison’s thoughts but was
curious too.
She wanted to relive that moment.
“It was during my interview at Mukino International. You were in your captain’s uniform, looking truly formidable.” Madison’s eyes twinkled with amusement as she recounted.
Charlie’s heart melted. Normally so cool and composed, she now grinned like a giddy girl, giggling alongside Madison.

to rest, they decided to wait forthbedest of their colleagues to finish so they could leave together.
“What shall we eat tonight? Chardidia soked, My treat.”
“I’m not picky.” Madison glanced dvere Pipine Airlines, “I guess Yu Lulei isn’t in the mood for food rigilating.”
Charlie also looked her way.
Yu Lulei had taken her assessment cadidieoord as everyone was fixated on those making mistakes, pommita acention was paid to which plane she was piloting.
The fear of making mistakes was swornalderambarrassment was one thing.
The other was that only pilots rated Sdr Awerere lolowed on major international routes. The only difference betweenhhem was that S- rated captains could pilot all types of aircraft.
For someone like Madison, who aspired to pibootha Abbus A380 level was a must-get, with no room for erron
As difficult as S-level was to achieve she was determinedag get it
Like Charlie, like Yu Lulei, they all wanted to secure it mightierinstgear.
For a moment, in the silent crowd, many hearts ignited wwhh fierce determination, comparable to the zeal they had when they first learned to fly.
“Daydreaming?” Old Gao tapped her shoulder.
Madison snapped back to reality, “Thinking about tomorrow’s challenges.”
Old Gao had come specifically to discuss the matter with Madisioon,
But since Brian hadn’t yet had his turn, and to avoid affecting his mental state, Old Gao decided to bring it up later.
After about half an hour, it was finally Brian’s turn.
Only then did Old Gao speak up, his tone serious, “Tomorrow’s assessment will be much tougher than today’s. Since it’s the first year of this policy, your performance will directly affect the future of these ratings. Brace yourselves, but don’t overthink it. Even if you don’t get S-level, the company will ensure all your salary concerns are addressed.”
Madison and Charlie nod in unison.
While they spoke with Old Gao, a wave of gasps erupted around them.
They all looked over.
Brian’s plane had navigated the course without touching a single obstacle, flawlessly passing through the boards.
“Old Song’s got some skills!” Deputy Director Ye couldn’t resist standing up, clapping vigorously.
Surprised exclamations and applause filled the air.
A smile on her face, Madison thought to herself.
She was determined to approach Brian’s level, to make progress bit by bit.
Once Brian returned with a beaming smile, Madison said, “Brian, you truly are an example to us all!”
Colleagues offered their congratulations.
Brian waved them off, “No need for such excitement. After all, I’ve been flying for decades. If I couldn’t pass a simple test like this, I’d be

surprises needed.”
Although indifferent to honors, the old man certainly wanted his expertise to remain flawless.
From the results of these two assessments alone, Brian was assured an A-level rating.
If there were no major issues tomorrow, it was highly likely that Brian would be rated S-level.
With a reservist S-level pilot like this, Deputy Director Ye was very pleased. He signaled the Mukino Air staff that they could leave once their assessments were concluded. He even offered to reimburse
them for a dinner celebration.
They all left in high spirits.
Over at Pine Airlines, where Shihua awaited her bumbling colleagues’ assessments, she was nearly grinding her teeth in frustration.
Why was everyone so warm and joyful around them, and yet so cold towards her?
Why were they all circling around Madison?
Surely, they were only kind to Madison because of Ethan’s influence!
“Hey, wait for me!”
Behind them, Yu Lulei broke away from the bulk of Pine Airlines and sprinted towards them.
Kou Mei had been waiting outside already.
At the time of the assessment, Kou Mei had been positioned quite far away, so Madison and Charlie hadn’t noticed her.
Charlie was the
Just as Yu Lulei approached, Kou Mei reported, “I only touched one obstacle, and the board grazed slightly, breaking off a small piece, but it didn’t shatter completely.”
This was already a commendable result.
However, Yu Lulei’s face darkened instantly, “So you’re telling me…
out of the four of us, I’m the only one who hit almost half the obstacles, right?”
“What about your board?” Kou Mei inquired.
Yu Lulei was emotionless, “Pretty much the same as yours.”
“That’s not too bad.”
“Not too bad my foot!” Yu Lulei was on the verge of madness, “Their boards didn’t even have a scratch!!! I’m finished… I won’t be the only one dragging us down, will I…”
Where can I hide my face? I’m so embarrassed…
The three women walked away with a disgruntled Yu Lulei, leaving t main group behind.
Madison was chatting idly with Ethan, who tactfully didn’t bring up the
assessment. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
But Madison broached the subject herself, “S-level is pretty hard to
get.”
Ethan was silent for a good three seconds. When he finally spoke, his voice exuded a reassuring calm, “First, you have to believe in your own abilities. Second, even if you don’t get S-level, your boyfriend is more than capable of keeping you soaring through the skies.”
Madison felt as if a fortress had been constructed in her heart,

“Look at her grinning. I’m here stewing in my own misery,” Yu Lulei lamented, “It’s true what they say-joy and sorrow live side by side.”
