When they saw a leader leading a tall, slender man past, everyone started whispering and wondering about the man's identity.

As a result of that sound, everyone's eyes turned towards the direction of the sound.

But it turned out to be one of the women in their group.

She was slender and tall, wearing a smart suit, her hair was neatly styled, and she wore light makeup; she was very beautiful.

Everyone stared at her in surprise, wondering if this person knew anyone in the company.

Everyone's expressions turned serious. Wouldn't this greatly reduce their chances of being accepted?

Pei Yuchen frowned slightly, and Zhou Qiao had already walked over quickly, greeting him in a carefree manner: "Brother Pei, what brings you here? I heard from my aunt that you spent five years in the west as a pilot. Are you coming here to become a captain too?"

Her eyes shone, her gaze filled with anticipation and joy.

The man in the suit who was showing Zhou Yueshen around immediately lit up his eyes. Was there anything he didn't understand? He said, "Is this an acquaintance of Comrade Pei? Comrade Pei really has a lot of talented people around him."

Before Pei Yuchen could speak, Zhou Qiao took the initiative to extend her hand and said, "Hello, I am Brother Pei's sister, my name is Zhou Qiao."

Seeing her generous and polite demeanor, the man nodded in satisfaction. Flight attendants are supposed to be this enthusiastic, because someone had previously reported that some of their flight attendants had a sour face.

Everyone was even more envious when they saw that she was actually able to strike up a conversation with the company leaders.

Pei Yuchen said coldly, "What do you want?"

Zhou Qiao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Pei, I'm fine. I just happened to see you here, which was a pleasant surprise, so I thought I'd come over and say hello."

Pei Yuchen didn't say anything, he just nodded slightly, "Let's go."

The man in the suit wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that the person had left, he immediately followed.

Zhou Qiao felt a little unsatisfied, but she knew that Pei Yuchen was originally a cold and aloof person, and difficult to approach.

Otherwise, Song Yanzhi wouldn't have been with him for over ten years without winning his heart.

That kind of man is what makes her feel challenged.

Actually, her coming here today was premeditated.

I already knew Pei Yuchen would come to the civil aviation industry, because he started working there later in the novel.

Although she is in this major, there are too many people applying for the interview, and everyone is very outstanding. Compared to them, and some even have connections, she probably doesn't have much of a chance.

But having already worked as a corporate slave in the future, she knows very well that no matter the era, getting into a good company depends not on ability, but on connections.

No matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you rack your brains, it's not as effective as a single word from someone with connections.

Pei Yuchen's arrival must have been an invitation from someone else.

Now that I know him, I already have an advantage.

Sure enough, Zhou Qiao's interview went very smoothly today. After the interview, she bought some things and went to visit Wang Yanmei in the family compound.

She's been coming over often lately, and everyone knows her now. They've heard she graduated from some university and is cousins ​​with Pei Yuchen, so everyone treats her quite warmly.

Seeing her dressed in a suit and carrying gifts, she immediately greeted her, "Oh, Xiaoqiao, you've come to see your aunt again? Why are you dressed so formally today? What's the occasion?"

Zhou Qiao smiled and nodded: "I went for a flight attendant interview today, so I dressed formally."

"Oh, being a flight attendant? That's a top-notch job. I've heard the salary is very high, and it's very difficult to get an interview."

Everyone was quite surprised; among so many people around them, they had never heard of any of them being flight attendants.

I've heard that airlines have high requirements, and you also have to be beautiful and have a good temperament.

Even if an ordinary person gets into a good school, they still can't become one.

Everyone's gaze towards Zhou Qiao changed.

"Speaking of which, wasn't your cousin a pilot before? He just came back not long ago. If he retires, he'll probably become a captain at the airport, right?"

"That's amazing! I heard that captains' salaries are incredibly high."

"If I had known, I would have let my son join the Air Force back then."

"Pshaw, do you think just anyone can become an air force pilot? They're one in ten thousand!"

"Shouldn't we have a proper celebration?"

Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "Yes, my cousin and I checked it out at the company at noon, and I think it should work out. We're going to Pei Ge's house now to celebrate with them."

They exchanged glances.

She had barely left when Song Yanzhi returned with groceries.

People around were still talking about it.

Upon seeing her, she immediately exclaimed, "Hey, Xiao Song, why are you still buying groceries? Aren't you going to your mother-in-law's for dinner tonight?"

"I heard your husband is going to become a pilot."

Song Yanzhi paused, looked over, and saw several middle-aged women. He stopped and asked, "A celebration? To become a captain?"

"Yes, didn't you know? Zhou Qiao just took some things to your mother-in-law's house. She said they went for a job interview together at noon and are going to celebrate tonight."

After saying that, they looked at each other strangely. "Don't you know?"

Could it be that they didn't call her? I heard that the relationship between the Pei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law isn't very good.

Song Yanzhi thought about the time. Pei Yuchen was about to retire from the army around this time. Moreover, in the novel, Zhou Qiao later became a flight attendant. In this era, becoming a flight attendant was no ordinary thing. So, as soon as the news of Zhou Qiao becoming a flight attendant spread, her status rose several degrees.

However, she really didn't know that the two of them had gone together.

Song Yanzhi said indifferently, "I'm not quite sure."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and before they could ask anything else, Song Yanzhi had already left.

You look at me, I look at you.

"Isn't she Pei Yuchen's wife? How come she doesn't know about something so important?"

"I heard that the two of them don't get along very well... there's not much affection between them."

"What feelings could there be? He went away for five years right after we got married and only came back now. Even if there were feelings, they're gone."

"But no matter what, we can't keep it from her, can we?"

"That's so pitiful."

We're all military wives, so we know how tough it is.

At this moment, I also feel sorry for Song Yanzhi.

"But have you heard? It seems that Zhou Qiao isn't related to Pei Yuchen by blood, and she's known him since childhood. I heard they're childhood sweethearts."

"Really? I thought they were relatives."

"Who told you that? You can't just say things like that."

"How could I be talking nonsense? Wang Cuimei spread the word herself. I heard that if Zhou Qiao hadn't gone to university, Song Yanzhi wouldn't have had a chance. Look, they didn't even tell Xiao Song about their celebration. Tsk tsk."

They exchanged glances and sighed.

...

Pei Yuchen went to a silver jewelry store and picked up the custom-made silver bracelet.

He glanced at it; it was engraved with Song Yanzhi's name, and the patterns were exquisite and beautiful.

On the way back, I saw someone selling fruit by the roadside. I paused for a moment, then carried a bag of fruit home. From afar, I could see my front door open, and my two children were squatting outside, each holding a basin and washing clothes.
