Flight Traces

Since that incident, the two tacitly avoided similar topics, one flying as usual, the other handling cases as usual. Fortunately, mid-year wasn't too busy, allowing them to see each other several times a week.

Days passed smoothly until autumn arrived.

On this day, Bian Ji was on duty for an international flight, returning via multiple locations, passing through China's golden line of Beijing-Shanghai, with a full capacity of three hundred and thirty passengers.

Learning from his previous experience of receiving complaints for inadequate greetings, Bian Ji ensured meticulous service this time, arranging for cabin crew to send greeting notes to every platinum member, fearful of any possible oversight.

There was a mother with a toddler in business class, and the second position stewardess specifically approached her, half-kneeling to introduce, "Hello, these are special slippers prepared for the child. If it's convenient, may I help you open them?"

The lady was busy soothing her crying child and didn't have time to respond, merely nodding her head. The second position stewardess then helped her open them and put them on the child, saying, "For meals, we have corn and pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes for children, and for adults, we have three-cup chicken, soy sauce braised beef, and cheese spaghetti. Beverages include orange juice, milk, and fruit wine. What would you like?"

While comforting and patting the child's back, the mother frowned in thought and asked, "Where are the raw materials for the corn and pumpkin soup from?"

Caught off guard, the second position stewardess had never been asked such a question before.

Catering suppliers were selected by the airline, delivering their products directly from the airport to the aircraft. For international flights, cooperation with overseas airports was required, how would an ordinary steward know the origin of the supplier's raw materials?

Despite being taken aback, the second position stewardess maintained her smile and politely answered, "I'm sorry, I need to confirm this with my colleagues on the ground. May I come back to you later?"

The passenger seemed somewhat displeased but didn't say much, simply gesturing with her hand.

The second position stewardess asked, "We've also prepared new headphones for you, which are located in front of your seat. The touch-screen TV has already launched the latest programs. Is there anything else you need help with?"

The passenger waved her hand, "No."

The second position stewardess smiled sweetly, "Then please rest well and hope you have a pleasant journey."

After calming the passenger down, the second position stewardess walked over to report the unusual situation to Bian Ji, mumbling, "Brother, you didn't see, her attitude was terrible just now, scared me to death."

Bian Ji said, "Considering the child's food safety, her concern is understandable."

The second position stewardess pouted, "So precious...then don't take him out at all. Accidents can happen easily when you're out."

Bian Ji's face turned serious, warning, "Little Hu."

Realizing her mistake, the second position stewardess quickly stood up straight, "Ah, I'm sorry."

Bian Ji's expression softened slightly, turning his head toward the meal preparation room, "I'll go talk to her in a bit. You prepare the meals for the others."

"Okay."

Adjusting his smile, Bian Ji walked over to the passenger he had just served, half-kneeling to say, "Ms. Wang, hello, I am the chief steward of this flight. You asked about the origin of the food ingredients earlier, and I apologize for keeping you waiting. We found that the corn and pumpkin come from Chongming, and the salt and white sugar come from Anyang, with no other additives."
