Chapter 680 - Something Interesting

In the next few days, Iris began working hard as Long Industries’ brand ambassador under the mission of improving the company’s reputation and recovering the stock prices. She worked closely with Long Jian who was in charge of the assignment and also with the company’s PR and Marketing Departments.

They completed a series of advertisements and program commercials in a hurry. Since time was tight, Iris took charge of the advertisements and commercials. She chose a simple approach yet her creativity still managed to inject a fresh and appealing vibe to the rushed projects. She even went the extra mile and quickly composed an original commercial jingle within a day to complement her ads for Long Industries.

With the addition of fulfilling her active duty as brand ambassador for Long Industries, Iris’ already full schedule became even fuller, making her even busier than Jin Liwei. Despite this, she still stubbornly instructed Dom to free one day per week to spend quality time together with her darling.

Long Jian brought her to various meetings and conferences, using her celebrity status to charm not only business partners but also the general public. Even when he and his team were pushing her this way, Iris’ professionalism prevented her behaviour to be viewed as ingratiating. And also instead of her usual eye-catching "celeb" outfits, she wore chic business dresses instead.

Long Tengfei was very satisfied by her professionalism. He, along with the COO and fellow executives plus the other important shareholders were closely watching Iris’ work performance. It wasn’t only the way she dressed properly or interacted with others as brand ambassador without overly flattering anyone that impressed Long Tengfei and the others in the company. They were also impressed by her original ideas and how she managed to work harmoniously with Long Jian and their team from the PR and Marketing Departments as if she had been working with them for years.

There were some people like Long Tengfei, Long Hui, and others who planted spies in the team in order to monitor Long Jian and Iris. (The two were actually aware of the spies but didn’t call them out, allowing them to spy because they had nothing to hide during meetings.) Long Tengfei and the others discovered that the two siblings had strong leadership skills and were both ambitious and aggressive when making and implementing their plans.

Everyone in Long Industries were looking forward whether the Long Jian and Iris Long duo would be able to reverse the company’s stock price crash caused by Long Hui. A "secret" betting pool was even set up, pitting the sibling duo against their eldest brother, Long Hui, who caused the stock price crash in the first place.

Not everyone was optimistic that Iris Long using her position as a celebrity brand ambassador alone would be able to rescue the situation because Long Hui’s reputation was worsening with each passing day due to Lin Yehan’s pending defamation lawsuit against him.

The ads and commercials were released after a week. Contrary to the pessimistic expectations, the company’s stock prices twitched on the way to recovery just a day after Iris Long’s ads and commercials were released.

Thanks to the Black Stars’ loyal support, Iris’ original commercial jingle for Long Industries quickly went viral, making the simple advertisement concept memorable.

Jin Corporation.

Xu Tian knocked on the door before opening it.

"President, lunch has arrived."

"En. Come in," Jin Liwei replied while continuing to type on his computer in front of his desk.

Xu Tian led the subordinates from Dragon Palace Home #10 inside. Iris sent them to deliver lunch. This scene was already a regular occurrence so nobody was surprised anymore. In fact, Jin Liwei, Xu Tian and the receptionists downstairs would start worrying if Iris ever failed to send lunch and wonder if Jin Liwei did something to piss her off. Only when Jin Liwei was away from the company during lunch time or went to a business trip would Iris not send lunch to him.

Jin Liwei continued working on his desk while Xu Tian and his subordinates set up the hearty and nutritious dishes on the table in the office. There were enough for both Jin Liwei and Xu Tian.

A couple of minutes later, Jin Liwei paused his work and sat down for lunch with Xu Tian. A soft smile lingered on his lips as he looked at the mouth-watering food on the table. Ever since Iris started sending him lunch, he no longer skipped his meals no matter how busy he was working. It was a far cry to his previous busy bachelor lifestyle before he met her when he would prioritize work over regular meal times.

The subordinates retreated outside the office, leaving Jin Liwei and Xu Tian to enjoy their lunch. They already ate at the mansion before delivering the food to their boss.

"Mmmm." Jin Liwei couldn’t help making an appreciative noise as he took a first bite. An image of his baby girl popped inside his mind, deepening his soft smile.

Even though Iris didn’t cook the dishes herself, he loved that she would personally discuss his lunch meals with their chef at home every night. He also learned something interesting recently from the chatterbox Ketchup. According to the dramatic and talkative white cat, her mommy had been in contact with a special nutritionist for quite some time now to tweak Jin Liwei’s meals for a specific purpose. When asked for the reason why, Ketchup could only pout and say that she had no idea because her mommy locked the information away. Curious, he directly asked his baby girl one night.

"Oh, that. Don’t worry about it too much. I’m just taking my experiment of making your semen taste sweeter to the next level, so we’re trying to make you eat different food combinations," she told him in a straightforward tone as if she was talking about something mundane like the weather instead of the taste of his semen.

His eyes darkened in an instant while a bulge grew and stiffened inside his pants. "Is that so?" he breathed, his voice low and husky.
