Chapter 632 - Stable And Successful

Chapter 632 - Stable And Successful

Jin Liwei snorted in derision at all his baby girl's detractors. He knew very well what an amazing, talented, and intelligent woman she was. A genius! Yet those blind fools still continued yapping away and spreading lies about his baby girl, not to mention belittling her achievements as if they had the ability to easily do the same things.
Iris sighed and stroked his cheek, trying to calm his anger. She didn't pay much attention to the naysayers, most of the time treating them like fart—unpleasant but would pass by and go away after some time.
The same couldn't be said for Jin Liwei, however. According to Ketchup, there were several occasions when he bullied some people, giving them a taste of his domineering power and influence, because they said something bad about her. Almost all of them were members of high society. He hadn't said anything to her about those instances.
If it wasn't for the talkative Ketchup, Iris wouldn't have known about it. Despite this, she didn't tell him that she knew about his secret actions of protecting her reputation because they already had a tacit understanding not to interfere with each other's works without permission. She wasn't mad. On the contrary, she felt thankful, loved and cared for by him. It gave her a feeling of security knowing that she could depend on him whenever she needed.
Her touch calmed him down. He continued, "Fortunately, your achievements this year are all phenomenal, especially when it comes to Orchidia Beauty. I'm so proud of you, love."
"Thanks." She smiled and patted his cheek.
Despite his improved expression, Jin Liwei was still fuming deep inside because there were already some people trying to spin Orchidia Beauty's success as something directly caused by him. Ridiculous! Those narrow-minded fools just couldn't understand that she could be so successful in her own right. Even more infuriating was that those idiots were spreading their prejudiced views, wanting other people to believe that without him, his baby girl couldn't be so successful on her own.
Iris pinched his cheek. Hard.
Jin Liwei grunted and grabbed her hand away from his poor cheek before rubbing it with his other hand. Then he retaliated by giving her a few loud, smacking kisses on her cheek which made her giggle again.
"Liwei, don't worry about those people anymore. They're not important. I remember that after you proposed to me, I asked you to wait until both my showbiz career and businesses have stabilized and reached a certain level of success before we could marry. It was a selfish request of mine—""Not at all. I understand."
She scooted over to him and cozied up in his arms. "Yes," she agreed, sighing in contentment. "Do you think that my showbiz career is stable now?"
"En. Your fans and the music industry waited for you even when you had to take breaks."
"Is it successful now?"
"En. You're now one of the best-selling and most respected young musicians in showbiz, plus one of the top endorsers this year." Then he added, "My brother still holds the #1 spot for top endorser but you'll overtake him soon."
"Brother Chonglin is a superstar. He won't be so easy to beat."
"True," he agreed. "He's a superstar and I'm proud of him as an older brother. But I believe that my wife will be a bigger superstar than him because my wife is the best."
"I'm not your wife yet," she retorted, giggling.
"You'll be, if you agree to marry me soon."
Instead of replying, she made herself more comfortable in his embrace and continued asking, "How about my companies? Are they stable? Would you consider them successful at this stage?""Let's see." Jin Liwei's expression became serious as he went into business mode. "Gold Heights is already successful when you got it, so you don't have to worry about it too much. Just checking now and then is enough. You've also been making full use of the fact that your mentor, Sir Enrique Valdez, is staying in one of your buildings which in turn has increased the value of the company's stocks. Now Gold Heights is known as a place that even world superstars like the legendary hitmaker would choose as a residence while staying here in China. Well done, my love."
The couple shared a shameless smile while the sound of a certain old man's booming laughter echoed inside their minds.
"Next is Planet Monkey. Your gaming company recently managed to break even and started to really make a profit. To be honest, it's the one among your businesses that I felt the most nervous about because you spent so much money buying Exlorsson's advanced technology. If he wasn't a Cross Academy student like you, I would've done everything in my power to dissuade you from that particular investment. Fortunately, 'Supreme Ascension'became a big hit among gamers. However, I still want you to exercise caution because the gaming industry is very fickle especially for new companies. You need to keep your current gamers invested in the game and evoke loyalty from them while also trying to attract new gamers."
Iris nodded.
"Then there's Orchidia Beauty. What more can I say about it? It's a winner."
"Alric Bauer's products are unbelievably amazing. That's why it's such a big success," she said.
"Yes, and there's you, my love. Without you, there would have been no Orchidia Beauty. Bauer's products would probably continue being sold by his sister at that street market in Munich."
"Maybe. How about Liberté?" she asked next.
"Announcing it at such a high-profile event as Orchidia Beauty's grand launch was an excellent idea. Not to mention you and my brother will eventually release your perfume lines under its brand. It's already making waves before you even officially launch it," he said. "However, we won't know for sure until then. Clover needs to sort out everything about it first. She'll have a lot of work to do because Sang Bleu didn't have a good reputation and many are still prejudiced against it. A delicate but aggressive rebranding is needed for it to be successful."
