Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day novel Chapter 218

Vice Director Ye of the Civil Aviation Administration was present, and he answered, "It was left by the first-place holder, 2.8 meters."

Director Wang was momentarily taken aback before bursting into applause, unable to contain his delight, "Excellent, truly excellent. She must be nurtured with great care."

Vice Director Ye nodded eagerly in agreement, "Absolutely, without a doubt."

In the first round of individual competitions, Madison had decisively outperformed all domestic pilots, securing her place at the top.

In this moment, even those previously skeptical of her abilities were thoroughly convinced.

Some people are simply born geniuses, beyond the reach of envy.

Who else would dare to imagine that a woman in her twenties could repeatedly shatter records for the shortest crash simulation distances?

Glory was on the horizon for Madison.

The televised broadcast of the competition was stirring an aviation frenzy across the nation's networks, and model airplanes were selling out.

A throng of Madison's fans was emerging online, captivated by images of her sporting sunglasses and holding binoculars. Some talented artists even captured her likeness in illustrations that went viral on the internet.

Step by step, Madison was cementing her era of brilliance, unshakable by anyone.

The end of the first round brought lunchtime.

Each airline had its own floor, with clear divisions.

Thanks to Madison's first-place finish, everyone instinctively gathered around her for the meal.

Accustomed to the attention, Madison said, "We don't know what this afternoon's competition holds. But remember one thing: keep a level head."

"Understood!"

However, Henry brought up a concern: "Captain Madison, honestly, with our abilities, it's going to be tough to push Air China's squadron leader out."

Their individual skills indeed fell short of Zheng Congyu's–that was a fact.

Now, only Madison and Brian had a chance to eliminate Zheng Congyu.

But with Brian's advancing age, even with the will, sometimes his reflexes couldn't keep up with the younger pilots.

Madison quietly pondered while holding her chopsticks, then spoke resolutely, "Pray for an elimination round next. Don't worry about him; leave him to me. I only ask that you do your utmost to keep the other Air China pilots' ranking down."

It was the first time she had been so aggressive, so intentional.

Everyone felt a surge of adrenaline.

"We'll give it our all, Captain Madison!" they promised, sitting up straight.

Madison nodded and exhaled silently, "Good luck to us all."

The two-hour lunch break went by quickly, with hardly anyone managing to sleep.

Over at Pine Airlines, Zuo Yulei grumbled, "Had I known, I'd have switched to Mukino Airlines earlier. They're incredible."

Yang Zi glared at her, "Try switching and see if the boss doesn't break your legs."

Zuo Yulei pouted in response.

At one-thirty in the afternoon, the pilots returned, ready for the second round.

As they settled in, snowflakes began to drift from the sky, cool but not cold.

Still, Director Wang arranged for everyone to move inside, watching from behind the expansive glass windows.

Once again, they had no idea what the competition would entail, only the strongest and most versatile could test the waters.

Madison named the leads: "Brian, Captain Charlie, Captain Xu, Captain Kang, you’re up."

"Understood," they replied without hesitation.

Madison instructed, "Safety first."

"Don't worry," Charlie reassured her with a smile.

But this time, Air China made a different move.

Seeing Zheng Congyu take to the stage with their deputy leader and two pilots who'd ranked lower in the first round, Madison knew that Air China had similar thoughts to hers.

But why was he bringing two lower-ranking pilots?

"Captain Madison, are they...?"

"Zheng Congyu is aiming to take out our aces."

But how did Zheng Congyu know what the competition entailed?

Wasn't he afraid of miscalculating?

This was where experience in competitions came into play.
