Chapter 0137
Madison thought he was joking until a trending.notification popped up, prompting her to facepalm.
“Ethan, could you at least pretend to respect your role as the chairman?”
“I’m respecting it as much as possible,” Ethan retorted. “If I didn’t care about my image, I’d be on F******k cursing out those who slander you.
Madison cleared her throat, “Hey, what happened to your image? You seem to be drifting further off-character.”
“Not really. This is who I’ve always been; the other side was just a facade for the public. You’re not just anyone.”
Amused by his earnestness, Madison fought back a laugh, “Get those papers down from the window, will you?”
At the top floor of the Mukino International office building, Ethan’s secretaries, each with their own set of skills, were getting weary from holding up the sheets of paper.
“Take them down,” Ethan motioned.
The secretaries hurriedly peeled off the A4 papers, handing them to William, who diligently collected and arranged them on the boss’s desk.
Just as he exited the office, William’s phone rang – it was the director of public relations. “Secretary Bai, should we… do something about. preserving our boss’s image?”
“What happened?” William was puzzled.

“President Grant posted on F******k, those photos with the papers. He’s turned into a love-struck CEO,” the PR director tentatively criticized.
“Ah.”
William seemed unfazed, “Don’t worry about it. Just let it be. We better get used to it; seems like there’s more to come.”
The PR director was perplexed. What happened to their mysterious and elusive President Grant? Clearly, the future Mrs. President had stolen him away!
Later that afternoon, Frank called together the flight crew to pair with
Madison.
Seeing the lineup of stewards and stewardesses, Madison was slightly taken aback.
It wasn’t the fact that these were her original crew members that surprised her, but rather…
She approached Amelia and Jessica, who were dressed in their attendant uniforms. “You two…”
Jessica, expressionless, confirmed, “Yes, that’s right. From today on, this ‘wretch’ becomes your flight service chief.”
Her demotion was a bitter pill to swallow.
Amelia beamed, “Captain Madison, it’s an honor to take charge of all in-flight services on your aircraft.”
Why?
Madison was bewildered – why had Jessica been demoted?
Once Frank finished explaining some details, he left the office with
+25 BONUS
just the flight crew remaining.
Jack chuckled, “Captain, Jessica doesn’t speak as many languages as Chief Steward Amelia. Hence the change.”
After all, it’s international flights; you never know how many foreign passengers you’ll need to communicate with.
Despite Jessica’s frustration, she accepted her new reality.
“Amelia, don’t get too smug. Just you wait; I’ll soon dethrone you!” Jessica stood with hands on hips, her voice raised in anger.
Amelia tugged at her earlobe, “Keep it down, don’t disturb your brain that has been asleep for years.”
Jessica was left speechless.
“I’m going to strangle you, you wretch!”
The bickering foes went at it from dawn till dusk, with Jessica. persistently failing yet never conceding.
In terms of persistence, the entire crew had to tip their hats to the
Madison, unaffected by their antics, called them back, “Let’s have meeting.”
She reviewed the flight routes, confirmed the cities for tomorrow’s international flights, and highlighted a few key points, especially to the bickering women.
“Fight all you want at home, but in front of others, maintain some decorum. Abroad, we represent not just Mukino Airlines but the image. of our country’s cabin crew.”
Amelia and Jessica nodded in unison, “Understood.”
“Don’t eat anything strange tonight. Stick to the crew meals at the company.”

Madison now embodied the role of a qualified captain, arranging everything methodically.
After the meeting, they headed to the company cafeteria.
At the elevator, they encountered other groups.
Recognizing the leading lady, they nodded, “Captain Madison.”
“Hello,” Madison replied warmly.
Letting them enter first, she waited for the elevator doors to close before the newcomers began questioning.
“Is she a pilot?”
“Yes.”
“And a captain?”
“Indeed.”
“So young.” Jealousy flickered in the eyes of a newly recruited flight attendant who had stood out in the last recruitment drive.
“She may be young but definitely capable,” a co-pilot from their group interjected. “And she’s the lead captain of the Sixth Group. Show some respect.”
Mukino International, now expanding its international routes, was actively recruiting experienced captains and training professional
cabin crews.
Just on this Monday alone, including Shi Hua, over thirty employees joined, mostly flight attendants.
Inside the elevator, the new attendant, Yun Lei, admired her reflection, pleased with her appearance.
She had set her sights on Mukino International’s young chairman

early on, aiming to get close to him after graduation.
Many attendants had climbed up the social ladder; with her looks, Yun Lei was confident.
As for any girlfriend?
Yun Lei didn’t care in the slightest.
Exiting the elevator, they all headed to a meeting geared towards onboarding the newcomers.
The cabin crew manager and Frank addressed the group in turns.
Midway through, Frank was interrupted by a whispering assistant.
Frank frowned, “You’re just noticing this now? What’s happening with
medical checks?”
Seeing Frank’s anger, the assistant stayed silent.
Frank, ever efficient, turned to the thirty-plus new flight attendants, We have an opening for a female flight attendant on an international route. Anyone volunteer to transfer? Must be fluent in at least four languages.”
That was why Mukino International’s standards were high.
All international flight attendants had to speak at least four languages, with chief attendants starting at six.
Despite her quirks, Amelia had a gift for languages, easily managing eight, which justified Jessica’s defeat.
Otherwise, how could she become a chief attendant at such a young age with other airlines?
The new attendants exchanged glances. It wasn’t that they weren’t qualified but rather feared that transferring might offend their current
crew.

As silence reigned, Yun Lei raised her hand, “I’ll do it.”
Frank recognized her, she was striking, after all. He asked his assistant, “Bring me her resume and medical report.”
The assistant promptly found them.
Frank glanced over the documents, “You speak five languages?”
Yun Lei’s smile radiated confidence, “Yes, and I plan on learning more.
“You’re in. Report to Group Six immediately, and the rest of the crew assignments will be arranged for you.”
