Ada Choi (蔡少芬) was in for a scare while working in mainland China on September 21. She was invited to attend public functions in Xi’n and Tianjin. However, not only did Ada end up being sent to an unspecified destination not previously discussed in her negotiations, she was also refused to be driven back to the airport. Ada expressed her rage at the company who had arranged the event, “I felt like I was being abducted!” During Ada’s stay in Xi’an, she had agreed to attend one function as stated on her contract with the company. Nonetheless, after the function ended, the company drove her to another shopping mall and forced her to step out of the car. In the end, Ada doubled the amount of work listed on the contract. After her complaint, the company issued a letter of apology and promised it would not happen at her next destination, Tianjin. Unfortunately, Ada was in for a bigger unpleasant surprise. The event in Tianjin turned out to be poorly organized. Upon completion of what was required, Ada boarded a car that was supposed to drive her to the airport. To her surprise, the car suddenly halted in the middle of the highway and the driver refused to continue. Ada explained on Weibo angrily, “I already put up with the poor organization of the event in Tianjin today. I tried my best to cooperate and finish what was written on the contract. Can’t believe the company actually stopped the car en route to the airport! It’s the first time I felt like my life was threatened, as if I was being abducted! My god! How can they do this! All we could do was call the police! Luckily they arrived quickly and drove us to the airport. But I’m still very scared right now. I’m very angry at the shameful behavior of this company!” Max Zhang Curses at Company As soon as Ada’s husband, Max Zhang (張晉), learned of the mishaps, he swore angrily at the respective company in several Weibo posts. He wrote, “What the [expletive] did you guys want to do? The action you guys took did not reflect the letter of apology at all!” Max further stated the company is full of stupid jerks who were trying to bully a woman. “You guys call Ada uncooperative when she refuses to complete work not stated in the contract? Now she has to bear the stupid nickname as an ‘Arrogant Diva’. What’s the difference between arbitrarily restricting her freedom and abduction? What kind of woman wouldn’t be afraid when a bunch of old men stops the car on a highway?” Max continued, “[Ada] was terrified by you guys, and things won’t be as simple as raging through Weibo,” implying they will soon take legal action.
