"But Senior Li, he… he seems to be from the Economy Class.", the female attendant, called Lan Rouyun retorted in contempt.
"What do you mean he 'SEEMS' to be from the Economy Class?" Senior Li asked and repeated the flight attendant's words back while stressing the word 'seems'. "Just because he is not wearing branded clothes, are you saying he can't afford the First Class?"
"If you keep thinking like that, you will definitely be fired soon enough. Or worse, even be banned from the Airline industry. Don't drag the crew with you, hmph!"
Not wanting to waste any of her breath, Senior Li turned around and left her junior alone.
[Stupid girl. Just because you are a little pretty and got in here because you had some connections, you belittle other people?]
[Heh! I can't wait for the day you get faceslapped with reality!]
Senior Li then quickly headed to the area where the Cabin Service Director is.
When she saw Director Yan, she immediately greeted her. "Hi, Director Yan."
"Hnn." The latter nodded at Senior Li and then reminded her, "This is one of the longest flights and we still have approximately 6 hours left before we land in City A of Country M. Make sure the passengers are comfortable, so instruct the juniors and trainees to do routine patrol and also regularly check the passengers that need special assistance."
Senior Li nodded back and assured Director Yan, "Yes Director Yan, I've already instructed the flight crew. The ones scheduled to do the patrol are doing it right now."
"But there's something I'd like to report though..." she added.
"Hnn?" Director Yan raised her brow and perked her ears up, "Did something happen?"
"It's like this…"
Senior Li recounted the short scene that happened earlier.
Director Yan's brows furrowed and then she sighed, "That's indeed a little rude. I hope the passenger is not provoked."
Although the flight crew indeed values the cabin's safety and security, it is discourteous to assume and directly reprimand a passenger.
The flight attendant could've asked nicely and politely first from the passenger if everything is alright and if she can help him with anything, and then from there, slowly try to verify their identity or intention.
The flight attendant would be all right if the passenger is really from the Economy Class just trying to loiter and enjoy some perks in the First Class, but what if he isn't and is actually in fact a bigshot?
It won't only end with that employee being in trouble but, her Seniors, her as the Director, the Captain, and the entire Airline crew will also face some consequences.
-Sigh-
"Alright Senior Li, I will try to talk to her when she goes on break." Director Yan disappointedly shook her head, "It is kind of hard to deal with employees like her who got in through connections."
The head of the cabin crew also did not forget to advise her to check up on the man, "On the other hand, find the passenger you encountered. If he really belongs to the First Class, tend to him personally and provide extra free service. If it's otherwise, then you know what to do."
Senior Li assented and bowed, "Yes, Director."
While the two were discussing what to do with both Lan Rouyun and the man in the hood, the former still stood where she was left by Senior Li.
[What a prideful hag!]
[Look at yourself, you're almost 50 and you are still working. Your face is already becoming unpleasant to the passengers, yet you still insist on staying in this industry. Hmph! Let's see who would be fired first!]
[I also refuse to believe that that suspicious man is really from the First Class! I must see for myself!]
[And… if he really is, then I must strike up a conversation!]
[With his figure, he seems to be still young, unlike those usual stinky old businessmen.]
Lan Rouyun gathered her resolve and walked towards the First Class.
When she got past the corridor where the toilet is, she was greeted by a minibar where First Class passengers can grab some alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks and sometimes socialize with other First Class passengers.
Looking ahead, a bunch of semi-closed seats, or at this point, you can probably call them booths now, were neatly lined up. A nice ambient sound is also playing in the background.
This is the First Class area.
Every passenger gets their own booth with nice features, high-quality products, and also walls, which are although not completely up to the ceiling, still provide enough privacy.
When a passenger is sitting inside their booth, they can still see the top of the heads of the crew that pass their area. This means that it's also vice versa. If a flight attendant walks by, they can see a little glimpse of the passenger's head and what they are doing.
When Lan Rouyun looked around, she couldn't find any youth that is wearing a hood in the area, so she proceeded to walk forward.
[Maybe he's in the next section.]
This is not a surprise to her.
Even though most sections are separated by a lounge, a kitchen, a storage, or a toilet, some passengers might need to go to a toilet farther away from where they are seated. It could be that there is someone already occupying it and they really needed to go take a number 1 or a number 2, or they just feel like taking a little walk. Long-haul flights are quite boring and can sometimes cause people to be a little anxious or feel cramped.
[But the next section is…] She furrowed her brows, not knowing if she should feel more worried that the suspicious man headed there or if she is remorseful that she immediately made a rude remark when she met him.
After she got past the next partition, there was a small lounge. She ignored this section and continued forward.
The next area is still First Class but it has an additional name… Suite. Yes, this area is of small suites that have walls that go up to the ceiling, and the only way to see the passengers is to knock on their doors.
Some long-haul planes usually have a total of 12 of them, but some like this one only have 8.
Lan Rouyun pursed her lips and gathered some courage. After a while, she started to knock on the door of the first suite.
