Chapter 75 Captain Song's Furious Outburst
After each psychological assessment, the data is stored in the psychologist's database. If there is any abnormal data, the psychologist will forward it to the psychological department and the air traffic control management department for timely intervention and adjustment for the employee.
The psychologist sat in front of the computer, scrolling through Xu Songning's previous information.
Judging from the various examination reports, she has always had a high level of mental fortitude and has made almost no mistakes at work, with only a slight deficiency in sleep.
For the average person, sleep problems are not a big deal. But for air traffic controllers, poor sleep means a decline in brain and body responsiveness, reduced judgment of aircraft, and during a shift, their minds might go blank, leading to issuing non-compliant instructions.
If your sleep is very poor, you are no longer suitable to stay in this position.
Fortunately, Xu Songning's condition remained mild; he just had many dreams at night and his body couldn't fully relax.
The therapist also offered many suggestions, including changing to more comfortable bedding, choosing a pillow that helps you fall asleep quickly, not easily changing the room's furnishings, and making yourself feel safe in the environment.
Listening to white noise and spraying some perfume you like on your pillow can both improve your sleep quality.
“I think things have improved recently,” Xu Songning replied.
Since her mother returned to China, there has been one more person in the house, which has brought a sense of life to the place, and she has become more relaxed both mentally and physically.
Then there's Sanhua. Having lived at home for so long, its true nature has been revealed; it often runs wild around the house. She had to buy a leash, tie Sanhua to it, and take it downstairs for walks. When she didn't have time, she entrusted this important task to her neighbor, Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun and she would occasionally connect via video call. It felt strange to make a phone call across a corridor, but she liked the atmosphere.
I rested my head on the pillow Xiang Yun gave me, and the room was filled with the fragrance of the diffuser stone Xiang Yun gave me. His voice was in my ears, which helped me fall asleep, and I didn't dream at all that night.
Xu Songning then began to worry: was she becoming too reliant on Xiang Yun?
"Has there been any improvement? That's good. It seems you've taken my advice to heart. Have you been experiencing any relationship issues lately?" The therapist smiled at her, a smile devoid of gossip, but rather a display of professional friendliness.
She was just asking a professional question.
"Hmm, I guess so, but it's still developing slowly. You know, people in our line of work can't handle too much psychological stress. If I get rejected, my little heart can't take it," Xu Songning said with a laugh.
The psychologist laughed too. She knew Xu Songning's mental state all too well. The previous breakup hadn't affected her ability to command the plane. Would being rejected affect her mood? Then the other person must be a very charming man.
“I remember you mentioned in a previous assessment that you experience some insomnia if someone sleeps next to you. This change in your sleep environment has caused a psychological shift, making you more sensitive. So I was curious about this and wanted to ask if it has improved. It seems there is no answer yet.”
Xu Songning recalled the time she slept at Xiang Yun's house. Although she had experienced a shock that night, Xiang Yun was sleeping in the living room, so her sleep was not affected by the fright. On the contrary, she slept very peacefully.
She said, "There's no answer yet. I'll tell you when I do."
"Okay, I wish you all the best in your work." The psychologist stood up and shook hands with her.
After completing her psychological assessment, Xu Songning was hungry. Lu Xiaomeng wasn't working today, so she had to eat alone in the cafeteria.
There weren't many people in the cafeteria; they were sitting in twos and threes. When they saw her carrying a plate and looking for a seat, an air manager who recognized her greeted her, "Sister Xu, come sit here."
As soon as Xu Songning sat down, the three people at the table stared at her with such gossipy eyes that they seemed to see right through her.
"Oh, you're here to watch the drama unfold?"
Xu Songning glanced at everyone, picked up a piece of carrot with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. She used her eyes for a long time, and eating carrots to supplement vitamins was her personal habit.
The person who summoned her nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes!"
The other two weren't familiar with her, so they didn't show it as obviously, but they still couldn't help looking at her.
Xu Songning couldn't help but ask, "What are you gossiping about? What did you hear this time?"
This is truly a case of good news not traveling far, but bad news traveling a thousand miles.
She had just finished writing her report and completing her psychological assessment when she found out how the situation had become outside.
One of them asked in a low voice, "I heard you and Captain Song got into an argument on the channel?"
"If things really get out of hand, will I still be sitting here? My employee badge will be taken off."
"You and Captain Song had something going on... cough cough, no, you had a relationship? Everyone's saying that Captain Song was so angry he was arguing with you on the channel, and you didn't back down and shut him up."
"It's all just hearsay. He and I used to be WeChat friends, but we deleted each other almost a month ago. It's true that he was arguing with me in the channel. During a thunderstorm, when the plane was running out of fuel and needed to make an emergency landing, he kept urging me in the channel, which was driving me crazy."
"Why are you rushing us? Thunderstorms are special circumstances. When the runway is covered by rain, who dares to let planes land? Aren't they all circling in the air? Planes that are about to take off are also waiting in place. We should really let him direct the landings. This job is not easy. Just waiting for a little while makes people unhappy. Who cares that our voices are almost hoarse from directing the landings? There are still so many planes landing in the air and taking off on the ground!" another person said with a sigh.
"So there's nothing going on between you two? Captain Song's comments in the group chat were so misleading," the girl who invited Xu Songning over for dinner said, handing her phone to Xu Songning.
The screen showed a group chat, which was the large group of East China Civil Aviation. It was an unofficial group. It was originally a small group of captains and air traffic controllers who were good friends. Later, people invited each other to join, and the group gradually grew into a large group of 500 people.
The place that person showed Xu Songning was the same place where, when she went to find Director Liu, the captain said in the group chat that there had just been a conflict between the captain and the controller on the broadcast channel. On the surface, he was trying to mediate, but in reality, he was trying to lure the person involved out.
Although the captain flew to East China, he didn't know the air traffic controllers in Shanghai. He only heard that it was a female air traffic controller, but he didn't know exactly who it was.
There was a lot of discussion in the group. There were only a few female air traffic controllers in Shanghai: Sister Wang, who was married; Xu Songning, who was unmarried; and a newcomer who had just started working solo.
Before long, people set their sights on Xu Songning. Her voice was distinctive, and even a captain who frequently flew to Shanghai recognized it immediately.
At this moment, Song Qing'an spoke in the group: "We have some personal issues, and she deleted me in a fit of pique. Isn't it because we can't find each other and can only talk in the chat?"
