This was a foreign trip undertaken by President
Teng Jia that didn't make her feel somewhat uneasy about it, the feelings taking on an opposite effect. The principality of Némérie's reputation wasn't at all compromised compared to others such as Clysperis and at least it acted as a free haven for Sinsu's rich to store their hard-earned cash from eager government hands. As Jia prepared herself mentally onboard the plane soon to land in the Principality, accompanying the newly appointed ambassador Cao Guiying, she could still remember the tone of Premier Deng Liuxian the last time she spoke to him personally prior to departing, which was a combination of frustration and jealousy.
Even if the Premier of Sinsu dictated most of the Republic's policy whilst the President was supposed to act as a figurehead, the latter had the privilege to be first in line to embark on state visits and sign treaties, letting the former handle most of the unpleasant duties back home and the situation was complicated much further with SICR's erratic reaction at Sinsu's termination of isolation, proving that perhaps naiveity played a part in not expecting their northern Imperial brothers to lob projectiles over at the border. Whatever the case may be, Jia simply wanted all of that rivalry between the nations to end after centuries of unnecessary bickering and hoped that a solution appeared right in front of them sooner or later.
The female head of state also felt relived at leaving home for a few days, getting away from all of that chaos and 'relaxing' in a pleasant oasis such as Némérie where reality wore a different appearance compared to elsewhere, which wasn't surprising at all given its high culture and the quality of life it offered to anyone who could spare billion or more annually. Opening a new embassy created a the perfect goground for developing relations further with a nation of interest that the Republic wanted to work with further, especially if joint projects could be negotiated, no matter the partner's size or wealth.
As the plane came to a halt, Jia stepped out of the aircraft, revealing her choice of attire: the
Cheongsam, a type of feminine body-hugging dress with distinctive Sinsic Chinese features of Manchu origin. It was called mandarin gown during 1920s-1930s, popularised by Sinsic Chinese socialites and upper-class women in the largest and one of the main financial cities of Tiānmén. With Ambassador Cao on her side, it was time for Sinsu to shine in the international spotlight once more.
