Because she frequently traveled to the aircraft factory during this period, her training with the flight team fell behind. The higher-ups in the flight team had objections, saying that Zhou Yue was a member of the flight team, and her primary task should be to follow the flight team's mission, either by flying or by teaching.
The aircraft factory then invoked the greater good of the nation, claiming that they seized Zhou Yue so that the country could develop its own large aircraft as soon as possible, and so that the country would no longer be subject to others in the field of aviation.
The flight team said that the missions they carried out were also related to national security, and that even if they built the best planes, they would still have to hire people from abroad if they didn't have excellent pilots.
"Would you dare entrust your life to a foreigner flying a plane? Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different intentions!"
"A country cannot be without its own aircraft! No matter how hard or tiring it is, we must have our own aircraft!"
The two sides argued back and forth, and the argument reached the higher-ups, who then decided to make a ruling.
The higher-ups weren't unreasonable; they felt that both the flight team and the aircraft factory had valid points, so they called Zhou Yue over and asked her what she thought.
What a coincidence! The person in charge of talking to Zhou Yue was Zhou Yue's grandfather, Old Master Zhou.
Old Master Zhou held an important position in the army, and he only brought one orderly with him.
This is a photo of Grandpa Zhou that Zhou Yue saw in her family's photo album. However, those photos are from twenty years ago. In the photos, Grandpa Zhou looks to be only in his fifties and is very capable.
He is now in his seventies or almost eighty, with gray hair, but he has a very dignified air.
Neither side claimed to be related by marriage.
Grandpa Zhou explained the situation to Zhou Yue in a businesslike manner and asked her, "What do you think?"
The aircraft factory and the flight team almost got into a fight because of themselves?
Zhou Yue was a little confused.
Is she already that outstanding?
As if he could read her mind, Old Master Zhou nodded: "Comrade Zhou Yue, you are more outstanding than Zhou Cheng'an at this age."
Ordinary families cannot train outstanding pilots, especially ace fighter pilots in secret flight squadrons.
Zhou Yue knew that the Zhou family must have poured countless efforts into her father, which is why she knew that when her father left the flight team for her mother, he said, "Once you leave the Zhou family, you are no longer a member of the Zhou family."
Zhou Yue didn't comment on the rights and wrongs of her parents' generation. She only knew that she came into this world because her father loved her mother and her mother loved her father.
She has always wanted to be as outstanding as her parents since she was a child.
Now that Grandpa Zhou has so openly affirmed her excellence, Zhou Yue feels as if she has won a victory for her father.
Zhou Yue said, "I have no other thoughts. I will follow the organization's arrangements. Wherever the organization tells me to go, I will go."
This answer was flawless, and Old Master Zhou smiled. He then dismissed the orderly.
"There's no one else here, just my grandson and me, Zhou Yue. I won't say anything else; it's all in the past, and there's no point in dwelling on it. I'll just ask you this: if your father were still alive, would you rather build airplanes or meet him in the sky, on a communication channel?"
"Sky!"
“Then I will make the decision. You can go to the aircraft factory for four days each month, and you have to stay with the flight team for the rest of the time,” said Grandpa Zhou. “You have inherited your father’s talent. For you, flying a plane is like playing with a toy. But just knowing how to fly a plane is not enough. You need to accumulate experience with a lot of flight mileage.”
