Vol 1: Ch 20 - Good News: Promotion
Xue continued packing her clothes while Vin looking around and notice that her unit was bigger than him and as expected from the daughter of Conglomerate Shipping Business. He also notices that she still has a photo of her and Rei, it was during their graduation day. Both of them smiled wildly and free, so he realized even she did it all to Rei, she still cares for her. Even she did it all to Rei, she still keeps her photo with her. She did it all to hurt her just because of him. Xue already done packing and just observing Vin then disturb the silence from Vin.
"Ehem!"
"Ah, are you done?"
"What are you thinking right now?"
"I just wonder if I'm not here, you and Rei will still be like this you know". He said while at the same time pointing to the picture frame.
"If you're not here, I and Rei will not even know each other, in the first place you're the reason why I approach her and befriended her after all. It's me, the one who interferes with the two of you. But now I realized Rei only treats you as a friend, she likes you and loves you as a friend, huh."
"So you just realized it now?"
"Uh uh, sorry Vin. So, how about I will drug her after being drunk to compensate for what I did to her and to you, right?"
"Idiot, how can she be drunk if she's not even can't drink?"
"Oh, that's right. What a boring life of her since she never tastes alcoholic drinks."
"That's Rei we know and let's go now, it's already late".
"Okay"
--------------------------------
Meanwhile at the company where Rei work, the CEO and the Branch Manager discussed Rei's future while the one who got discussed by them was busy handling her best friend and friend issues without knowing that her career is already on a rise that she didn't do anything at all except for greeting the unexpected guest that's happened to be the Company CEO.
The CEO already seating in the office chair meanwhile Manager Xia is now relying on their CEO about Rei's evaluation. After reading the evaluation, the CEO only commented on one sentence to her.
"Oh! So this Ms. Rei here was only working for us just for 7 months as an Admin Staff."
"Yes CEO Hwang, Ms. Rei is an amazing one, with a high IQ and EQ, so that's the reason why some of this Branch Team envy and got jealous of her."
"Why did you discover her late?"
"Before she joined our team CEO Hwang, she's working where her Mother's working place, based on my investigation and analysis Ms. Rei just work not for the pay she receives but to support and assist her mother."
"Indeed, she's really kind and nice, huh. Just for 7 months, she already had done a lot to this Branch huh."
"Yes CEO Hwang but she never claims it herself or said that she's the one who suggests to the team instead it's from the team itself. She even encourages the team to keep our good work even she's the one who suggested it, so forth and so on."
"Good, good. It really coincides that I'm needed a Secretary right now"
"Eh, Secretary Su resigns?"
"He didn't. He just got promoted so tell Ms. Rei that she will be promoted and assigned as my Secretary in the main branch, S Country. Give her a month to decide. If she accepts the offer, tell her that the management will be the one processing all her documents and her livings in the S Country. I assign Secretary Su to be her tutor in all aspects like the culture, cooking style, driving skills, S country language, places and the company rules and regulations of the main branch, so forth and so on."
"Yes, CEO Hwang."
"So how long Ms. Rei's training would be?"
"One month and a half is enough for her"
"What?"
"She can do it. Don't tell her about her training duration since Secretary Su will be the one doing that one and inform her about the promotion on Monday since I'm already leaving tonight."
"Yes, CEO Hwang."
"Ah, before I forgot, process her documents right now so that a week after her decision she can already leave in this place and arrive in the main branch, okay?"
'But CEO Hwang, we still not sure if Ms. Rei will agree or not and I don't know if Ms. Rei already had a passport, you know' he complains from his mind but he just obeys and agreed without complaining to him directly.
"Yes, CEO Hwang"
"During your hiring of Ms. Rei, did you ask for a passport requirement for her?" CEO Hwang asks knowing from his expression.
"We didn't CEO Hwang."
"Then after letting her know, ask if she already has a passport just in case if she agreed."
"Yes, CEO Hwang."
"If she says yes, ask for a copy of her passport just to be ready and prepare everything if she will agree for her new position."
"Yes, CEO Hwang."
"Good. So now, about the teams that violating the company rules and regulations, what's your update?"
"I already called them this morning and inform them. My intern will be demoted effective on Monday."
"Good and you must convince Ms. Rei of this offer."
"I will do my best, CEO Hwang"
"Good"
Then CEO Hwang leaves without uttering any words aside from his instructions and leaving behind his Head Manager in CA C Town City Branch.
Monday arrives and all of the team wonder why some of their colleagues got suspended starting today and don't know how it last then and another one who got demoted when she almost become a Secretary. They also wonder why Ms. Rei got called by their Head Manager that all of them know that their colleagues didn't violate any violations especially Rei since she's law abider one but unknown to them all of them except Rei offend an important guest not just an ordinary board of members but a CEO, they're big boss among their bosses. Rei already knows that the unknown visitor is someone important but she doesn't know his identity yet and even she can do it, she didn't investigate anything since the man didn't do anything to her at all. The other who just got suspended or demoted were just lucky that the CEO didn't fire them out but instead they're just got suspended for two months, if it's another CEO then they already say goodbye to their career without any reasonable explanation at all.

Meanwhile inside the Head Manager Office
Rei gets inside the Manager's office and feeling a little bit nervous but knowing she didn't do anything that will go against the company rules and regulations at all, she feels more relaxed and calming down herself then greeted the Manager naturally.
"Good Morning Manager Xia and I got called by you, am I right?"
"Yes, yes I called you and take a seat, Ms. Rei".
"Thank you, Manager Xia"
"By the way, I'm curious about something"
"What is it, Manager Xia?"
"So what do you think of why I called you here, Ms. Rei?"
"That..."
