114 Away to Another Country (1/2)
Ming Rushi dodged the kiss the man who had just lied next to her tried to give her.
”Oh c'mon...it's already rare for you to come home...” He resorted on giving her a peck on the cheek.
”I'm tired.” She reasoned out, her voice was exasperated.
”What kind of company do the Xius run? Even when you held a much better position back in City B, whenever I visit, you could still find time for me.” The man kept on complaining. ”I thought it would be better if you transfer your work here, but I guess I'm wrong. This is worse than before! I...”
He stopped as he heard her soft, whistly snore. He sighed in surrender.
She was indeed dead tired.
The following day, before Ming Rushi started her car, her phone rang.
”Good morning, Director Ming.” greeted her assistant.
”Yes, Annie?”
”Director, CEO Xiu ordered you to come along with the team for the launch of our men's apparel in Country T.”
”What? Isn't their flight today?” She was furiously panicking.
”At 0800H, Director. The CEO extends his apology for the short notice. It seemed that Director Qiao had an emergency.”
Ming Rushi on the other side moved her phone away. She couldn't help but murmur, ”Bullsh**!”
Heaving, she quickly ended the call after confirming her compliance.

Masaichi Xiu snickered as Riley finished his report for the morning. He had successfully sent that woman to another country after making her work overtime for several days without pay, owing to her 'mistake' at the launch of their bridal shoes brand.
She did manage to get the actress Janice Chen and her new husband, Fa Zhang to be their brand ambassadors, but she somehow offended the actress during their photoshoot. Janice Chen was then irritable with raging hormones since she was in her first trimester of pregnancy. The actress requested another person to coordinate with her instead of Ming Rushi. This got into the nerves of XCG's marketing director and she spat a word or two about her being irreplaceable. Little did she know that the basis of the request was because the pregnant endorser did not like her perfume.
