“Actually, I have a proposal,” the Director of Education said. “l remember that the Shen family in Beijing has several companies, and it seems they have been working together in recent years on a combat-type passenger aircraft. I think we can try to contact them. Maybe we can find a good plane for the rescue mission.”
Guan Yan’s gaze flickered slightly at the mention of the Shen family, and said, “We can give it a try. It might be a bit troublesome for both of you to get in touch with them. Also, remember not to bring up the Guan family.”
Although Guan Yan did not think that the Shen family would disregard the lives of these students due to personal grievances, he still believed that it would be better for the Guan family to keep a low profile, considering Guan
Lei’s public abandonment of Shen Xi in the past.
The principal and the Director of Education did not know why Guan Yan emphasized not mentioning the Guan family in front of the Shen family, but since he said so, they did not want to probe further.
“As for the selection of pilots, let’s go with that Rose Onion and her partner,” the Director of Education blurted out.
“Rose Onion?” Despite the severity of the situation, Guan Yan almost could not suppress his amusement. What kind of title was that? It sounded delicate and graceful. Would this person be capable?
The principal coughed and said seriously, “In formal occasions, don’t use code names, use the actual names.’
The Director of Education was about to say the name but struggled for a while, awkwardly saying, “Um… Well… Actually, I don’t know the student’s name either. As you know, our school is unique, and many students are referred to by code names instead of their actual names.”
The principal intervened to smooth things over and said, “Mr. Guan, that’s true. However, despite the strange name Rose Onion, her academic performance in the past four years has been remarkable. She has exceeded expectations in many secret missions. Among our students, the name Rose
Onion commands great respect and admiration.”
The principal wished he could give a good beating to the person who came up with such a strange code name for this impressive girl. It was too detrimental to their prestige.
Had he known that this girl would be so exceptional, he would have come up with an awesome code name for her when she entered the school. It would spare him the embarrassment when he boasts about his outstanding students.
Guan Yan nodded and said, “Please handle this for us. You have a better understanding of your student’s abilities.”
Meanwhile, Shen Xi, who was still struggling with how to start her thesis, received an urgent task from the school to go to Country C and bring back a few junior students. The fact that they approached her suggested that the task was no easy feat.
Shen Yan also received a call from the company, stating that the Imperial
Capital Military University wanted to borrow their latest commercial aircraft.
Shen Yan chuckled at how those people from the Imperial Capital Military University were like cats, always sniffing out good things before they were even announced.
Shen Yan immediately declined the request. After all, the Shen family had spent several years preparing it as a graduation gift for Xi.
However, after receiving an explanation from the school, Shen Yan grasped the gravity of the situation. After careful consideration, he sighed and realized that the heavens were not on their side.
Nevertheless, they could gift the plane first and then lend it.
Late in the evening, Shen Yan pulled Shen Xi to the indoor airport built by the Shen family at a significant cost.
Shen Xi looked at the plane in front of her with sparkly eyes and asked, “Dad, what is this?”
Shen Yan smiled and said, “This is a graduation gift for you. Although it may look like an ordinary passenger plane on the outside, there’s a lot more to it. It can be used as a fighter aircraft. All the necessary procedures have been completed. Originally, I planned to give it to you on your graduation day, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I’m giving it to you now, my daughter.” “Unforeseen circumstances? Did something happen?” Shen Xi asked curiously, unable to tear her eyes away from her precious toy. She loved this big toy so much.
“The principal of your school called me and said they want to borrow it to retrieve some students detained in Country C,” Shen Yan explained truthfully.
“Now the plane is yours, and it’s up to you to decide whether to lend it.”
Shen Xi was slightly surprised. It seemed like her school wanted to borrow her plane for a mission. She would have to familiarize herself with it.
Shen Yan gave a comprehensive overview of the entire plane and then asked Shen Xi to take it for a test flight.
After a trial run, Shen Xi was in a joyful mood and ecstatic beyond words.
“Dad, I accept the gift. I really like it. Thank you, Dad!” Shen Xi blushed, her eyes lit up with a smile, and her brows raised in delight..
