    Chapter 0141


    Tasked with delving into Yun Lei’s past, Michael’s curiosity trumped William’s usual duties. “Leave it


    to me,” he insisted, and HR had no choice but to step aside.


    With a few calls to his contacts, Michael easily acquired Yun Lei’splete file and returned to


    Ethan’s office, clutching the printed sheets. Settling into a chair, he began, “Comes from a humble


    background, ster academic history, interned at a smaller airline for six months before joining


    Mukino International. Romantic history…


    Michael, a seasoned yboy, couldn’t help but gasp in shock at the contents. “Whoa!”


    This…


    He quickly flipped through the pages.


    Two full pages dedicated to her romantic endeavors?!


    What has this girl been up to?


    “Why have you stopped reading?” Ethan nced up from his work.


    Swallowing hard, Michael skimmed the words then stood up, approaching Ethan with the papers.


    “You… you better take a look yourself.”


    Yun Lei’s dating history, if detailed, could fill an entire book.


    Despite such a colorful personal life, she maintained excellent performance, a true testament to her


    remarkable intelligence and wit.


    Ethan browsed through the pages briefly.


    “Does she have any connections in thepany?”

    Michael caught the hint immediately. “Doesn’t seem like it. We would’ve found something.”


    This meant Yun Lei didn’t get in through backdoor channels.


    So, such a clever girl, how could she have made such a simple mistake to offend Madison?


    During his investigation, Michael had also touched base with Amelia, who had just arrived from the


    flight. ording to her, Yun Lei was a sly one, feigning ignorance.


    In any ordinary upation, such behavior wouldn’t warrant attention. But Madison was a captain.


    Any distraction or mishap could lead to disaster, hence the gravity of the situation.


    “Keep an eye on her. If Amelia thinks she’s unfit, transfer her out,”


    Ethan instructed.


    Understood, Michael nodded.


    The sessful inaugural flight crew settled into a hotel in Paris.


    “Captain Madison, may I stay next to you? To make up for my work. error, let me be at your beck


    and call,” Yun Lei immediately began her brown-nosing as soon as they arrived at the hotel.


    Madison shook her head, “It’s not that serious. Just be more attentive


    at work. We’re colleagues, after all. What matters most is not


    “Understood, Captain!”


    Watching Yun Lei settle into the room adjacent to Madison’s, Amelia rolled her eyes discreetly.


    Once in her room,

    Yun Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a shower and change of clothes, she gossiped with her


    best friend over the phone.


    “You wouldn’t believe how unapproachable that captain is. I humbled. myself, and she still kept her


    cool distance.”


    Her friendmented, “Well, it’s normal for captains to be a bit aloof.


    “But I don’t find her that impressive. If anything, she’s just lucky, with powerful backers. I bet any


    woman who’s learned to fly could do her job. I don’t see why everyone makes such a fuss over


    her.”


    “And why do they?” Her friend chuckled. “Because her boyfriend is Mukino International’s


    chairman.”

    At the mention, Yun Lei’s palms itched with excitement.


    “I just wanted to get close to her, to meet the chairman. But she’s been so cold, what should I do?”


    Yun Lei and her friend aspired to soar high, to transform into proverbial phoenixes, much like many


    of their colleagues who found wealthy partners due to their looks.


    Yun Lei believed she was no less deserving and aimed for the most excellent, the most powerful


    mate.


    The chairman of Mukino International was her target.


    Those from her past were mere stepping stones, unworthy of mention.


    “Don’t worry, just keep up the good work, tter when you can. Women are easily swayed with


    sweet words. When the timees, just ‘identally’ bump into her boyfriend. With your looks, I


    doubt any man could resist,” her friend advised.


    Encouraged by the praise, Yun Lei felt destined for avish life.


    “I’ll do my best, you’ll see!”

    In the room next door,


    Madison had just ended a call with Ethan, her face still wearing a smile when the doorbell rang.


    “Who is it?” she asked.


    “It’s me, Captain,” Yun Lei called from outside.


    Madison opened the door to find Yun Lei holding a skincare product


    for dark circles.


    “Captain, this is specially for you. Your job is more demanding; you must take care of yourself. Trust


    me, I’ve been using this brand, it’s safe.”


    Unable to refuse Yun Lei’s insistent offer after two attempts, Madison handed over a set of


    unopened travel-sized skincare products.


    “I travel light. Use these for now, and I’ll bring you a full set when we return.”


    Ethan had packed them, saying full-sized products were a hassle and travel sizes were perfect for a


    few days.


    Yun Lei had hoped for avish return gift but received only travel sizes. At least they were from a


    renowned international brand, she thought, still somewhat disgruntled.


    Despite her innerints, Yun Lei’s face beamed with


    exaggerated gratitude, “You’re too kind, Captain! I love these travel sizes, thank you!”


    “You’re wee.”


    Yun Lei nced around the room casually, “Haven’t you rested yet?”
