However, the plane didn't fly straight to Los Angeles as Wu Yun had imagined. Instead, it landed at Pudong International Airport for a stopover.
Seeing this, Wu Yun was about to call over a flight attendant to ask what was happening when one approached him. Wu Yun asked, "Is there another inspection?"
A fleeting, wistful look crossed the eyes of the flight attendant, Qin Rui, whom he had seen a few times before. She smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, our plane doesn't have the range to fly from Rongcheng all the way to Los Angeles. We need to make a brief stop in Modu to refuel, and then we'll fly directly there."
"It's much less of a hassle to stop over domestically. While we could refuel in a foreign country, the procedures are quite tedious."
