This middle-aged man was a famous Internet Celebrity with millions of followers.
He usually used this kind of arrogant, overbearing, and fault-finding behavior to attract attention,
and every time, he specifically targeted Little Girls who, due to their profession, dared not fight back.
At this moment, the bullet comments on the screen of his live stream surged in like a tide.
"Curious if this young lady looks like a person or a ghost once she takes off her mask."
"Little Mouse Bro, hurry, make her take off the mask."
"If Little Mouse Bro can make her cry today, I'll send you a tip."
"She dares talk back? Screw her."
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together; his video style and live stream content have always been vulgar and distasteful.
The label he gave himself was Aviation Review Blogger.
Thus, he traveled between major airline airports every day, making harassing Flight Attendants his primary occupation.
Although this niche was extremely small, because his subjects were always Flight Attendants with long, beautiful legs, and because he could always push them to the limit where they felt miserable yet helpless.
They could only endure his humiliation.
It was this unorthodox style that, over time, successfully amassed a bizarre fan base of over a million.
After realizing he had been spotted live streaming, the middle-aged man showed no intention of stopping. Instead, his face took on a provocative expression, and he brazenly aimed his phone camera even closer at the masked woman.
Although the tall Ground Staff Member was annoyed, constrained by the man's identity and the many onlookers, she ultimately dared not turn and leave rashly.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and politely said again, "If you feel the burger isn't hot, I can go heat it up for you again."
But unexpectedly, just as her hand picked up the burger plate from the table, the middle-aged man quickly reached out and stopped her.
At this moment, the audience members filling the live stream room were frantically spamming the screen, urging him to quickly pull some new stunts.
With such overwhelming calls and an imminent wave of tips, how could he easily let go of such an excellent money-making opportunity?
He immediately rushed forward, spread his arms like a solid wall, and firmly blocked the female Ground Staff Member.
"Hey, hey, hey, did I say you could leave??"
Seeing the burly, sharp-eyed middle-aged man aggressively glaring at her with eyes like copper bells,
the woman's expression was clearly frightened. She stopped and asked back blankly, "Do you have any other requests??"
Seeing her fear, the middle-aged man was clearly more excited. Pointing at the woman's face, he said viciously, "Are you deaf? I told you to take off your mask to serve me. Didn't you hear? I am a Platinum member of your airline. If you keep this attitude, I'm telling you, I will file a complaint against you."
The woman was badly frightened by his words, but she still feigned composure and replied, "What are you going to complain about?? I have followed all your requests."
The middle-aged man sneered, crossed his arms over his chest, adopted an arrogant posture, and continued to threaten her: "Nothing much. I just want to complain about you. If you don't take off your mask, you are disrespecting me. I will complain about you without a reason."
Hearing this, the woman's originally fair face instantly turned pale.
She bit her lip tightly and explained with a slight tremor in her voice, "Sir, I have already heated the meal three times according to your request... I truly don't know what else I can do to satisfy your needs. Wearing a mask is compliant with regulations."
Not only did the man not restrain himself at all, but he stood up.
"So what if it was three times? It's burnt now, what use is that?? Are you going to take it off or not? If you don't, I will slowly complain about you, go ahead and try me. What the hell are you pretending for? I'm telling you, if you make me uncomfortable today, I'll ruin your reputation, no matter which airline you belong to."
After speaking, this unreasonable middle-aged man actually reached out, intending to take the mask off himself.
Seeing him push his luck, aggressively grabbing at her mask, the woman couldn't help but turn pale, retreating repeatedly to dodge him.
"Why are you hiding! Is your face too ugly to be seen? Or are you not even human? Let me see!"
As the sound of the argument grew louder, the female Ground Staff Member standing next to Young Master Jiang couldn't help but frown. She immediately turned to Jiang Cheng and said, "Young Master Jiang, excuse me, I should go see what's happening."
Seeing Jiang Cheng nod, she immediately walked quickly to the middle-aged man's side.
She bent slightly, a professional smile on her face, and politely said, "Hello, Sir, is there anything you are dissatisfied with?" Her tone was gentle and humble.
Seeing an older woman approach, the middle-aged man managed a smile, looked at her critically, and then asked her, "Are you China Eastern Airlines ground staff or airport staff?"
"Hello, Sir, we are China Eastern Airlines ground staff. I am Wang Qing, the VIP Lounge Management Manager."
As soon as Wang Qing finished speaking, the man immediately found a point of attack. He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Esteemed Manager, why didn't you squat down when you saw me?"
This question struck Wang Qing like a clap of thunder, leaving her momentarily stunned.
According to usual regulations, Ground Staff Members' service standards typically require them to stand when interacting with guests.
Generally, only Flight Attendants on the plane choose to squat down when serving guests, out of concern that their movements might affect other nearby passengers.
Ground Staff Members like them basically never squat down to provide service.
The middle-aged man in front of her was clearly trying to make things difficult. After a moment of hesitation, Wang Qing decided to try her best to satisfy his request.
So, she gritted her teeth, slowly squatted down, and continued to smile as she asked, "May I ask if you require anything?"
Seeing Wang Qing obediently squat down, the middle-aged man's lips curled into a subtle, sly, and triumphant smile.
One must understand that his current arrogant demeanor was not achieved overnight or formed in a short period.
When he first ventured into this field, he certainly didn't dare to be as reckless as he was now.
However, as time went by, the situation gradually changed.
Especially after his live stream activities exploded in popularity, his visibility and influence rapidly increased.
Furthermore, some airlines, in pursuit of outstanding performance and greater market share in a fiercely competitive environment,
behaved exceptionally courteously and accommodatingly toward people with high-level membership status, even going so far as to deliberately flatter them.
Thus, no matter how senseless or deliberately difficult he was, it was always the Flight Attendants and the airlines that came out to apologize.
Moreover, worried that he might post negative comments damaging to the company's image on online platforms, airlines would even use various special privileges to buy him off and quell the incident.
After repeatedly witnessing this, he now knew that these airlines fundamentally did not care about the dignity owed to their hard-working employees.
That is why he dared to act as he did now, brazenly pointing fingers, cursing, and constantly nitpicking and finding fault with the airline service staff.
Wang Qing had lowered herself to such a humble posture, yet the middle-aged man showed no appreciation whatsoever.
Seeing the tips flood into the live stream room, refreshing the screen more and more frequently, the middle-aged man immediately became energized.
P.S.: This plot is not melodramatic; it's based on a real online incident that can be verified~
