Chapter 1492 Pitiful Superstar


    Iris and the two managersughed at Jin Chonglin. Their smiles were full of schadenfreude.


    "Chen Fei is not pregnant, then," Iris said.


    "How do you know that?!" Jin Chonglin asked.


    "Because she hung up on you. It means that you''re wasting her time by asking what she thinks is a stupid question, especially when you''re calling her during office hours. If she''s really pregnant, I don''t think that she''ll hide it from you. Chen Fei is a direct person, you know that. If you made her pregnant, she''ll definitely tell you right away."


    He thought about it and nodded. "You''re right. My girlfriend is indeed a direct person." Then he red at his manager. "You made me panic for no reason!"


    Lin Dong cleaned his ear with his pinkie. Then he cleared his throat. "Iris, you mentioned that you want Yin Meixing to be cast in our TV adaptation of ''Queen of the Shadows''."


    Iris nodded. "Yes. This is our LXC Studio''s first major TV production. It''s a given that Yin Meixing should be included in the cast. Even if Meimei—I mean, Princess Porkchop thinks that Yin Meixing isn''t suitable to y the female lead, there are still other important female supporting characters that she can y."


    Tang Yiyi nced at the character list. "We can let her try one of the main antagonist roles. She can have another breakthrough in her acting career if she ys something different."


    Lin Dong: "That''s a good idea. Ask her what she thinks. Her contract includes a use that we should give her the final say in any work that we arrange for her."


    Tang Yiyi: "I will talk to her after this meeting."


    Iris: "Sister Yiyi, I want Yin Meixing to be the face of my perfumepany, Liberté. We''re nning tounch soon."


    Tang Yiyi: "Send me the details and I''ll bring it up to Yin Meixing."


    Iris: "Alright. I''ll have Clover contact you soon."


    Jin Chonglin interrupted, "Hey! What about me?!"


    "What do you mean what about you?" Iris asked, confused.


    Jin Chonglin: "You''re not going to hire me as the face of your perfumepany?"


    She paused. "Let me think about it first."


    He looked incredulous at her hesitation. He, the superstar Prince Lin Lin, got snubbed by this woman?!


    Oh, right.


    She was his sister-inw, the wife of his older brother, Jin Liwei, CEO of Jin Corporation and the head of the Jin family. She was also a co-owner of LXC Studio. He gradually calmed down.


    Right.


    This woman wasn''t someone he could easily offend.


    How could he forget that?


    Not to mention his older brother who would y him alive if he ever offended his wife, her girlfriend Chen Fei might also really castrate him if he disrespected her friend and boss at Orchidia.


    Jin Chonglin could only sigh at his pitiful self.


    More and more, he felt his status in the family lowering. Perhaps he couldn''t evenpare to the status of the cats and dogs in the family.


    Ah, how pitiful was he, the superstar Jin Chonglin!


    Lin Dong, his manager who had known him for a long time, could sense that Jin Chonglin was once again in the middle of one of his increasingly overdramatic thoughts. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Don''t mind him," he said to the other twodies.


    But at the end of the day, he was still Jin Chonglin''s manager, so he couldn''t help but say to Iris, "I think that you should still consider your brother-inw as the ambassador of your perfumepany. If you still insist on Yin Meixing, you can have her as the ambassador for the perfumes for females and Jin Chonglin as the ambassador for the perfumes for males."


    Iris tilted her head to the side, thinking, before giving a shallow nod. "What you said makes sense, but I still need to think about it."


    Lin Dong: "Okay."


    He already did his best to fight for this opportunity for Jin Chonglin. If Iris still didn''t choose him, then that was just Jin Chonglin''s bad luck.


    Jin Chonglin finally returned to his senses and found that everyone was absorbed in the meeting. The topic was now on Iris''eback, specifically theunch of her next album in coboration with Enrique Valdez and co-produced by JJ.


    He also joined in the discussion. This time, Jin Chonglin was more serious, relieving Lin Dong''s silent worries.


    The meeting ended without any dy.


    Lin Dong drove Jin Chonglin to his next work appointment while Tang Yiyi headed to her own office to call Yin Meixing.


    As for Iris, Dom arrived just in time to pick her up with the driver and bodyguards. They all headed to JJ''s recordpany to continue recording her new album.

    Time flew by.


    The new cafeteria at Long Industries that Iris Long sponsored was finallypleted. She personally unveiled it with Long Tengfei.


    All the staff couldn''t wait to enter and try out all the different food choices that weren''t only generous but also nutritious.


    Iris, as the Deputy CMO, and Long Tengfei, as the President-CEO, cut the ribbon for the grand re-opening.


    Everyone pped.


    When the moment the doors opened for everyone, audible gasps of shock, awe, and excitement could be heard everywhere.


    "Wow! Is this really our new cafeteria?!"


    "It''s like a hotel buffet!"


    "Look there! We have desserts!"


    "It''s not only like a buffet. There are also booths for different styles of cuisines."


    "I''ve only seen pictures of Orchidia''s cafeteria which made me so envious. Now that we have our own here, I can finally brag to my family and friends!"


    These employees took many photos and videos as they marvelled at their new cafeteria. The media got ahold of them, and soon, gossip sites and ounts featured news about Iris Long sponsoring a new cafeteria at her father''spany, Long Industries.


    Notably absent from the grand re-opening was Long Hui.


    Long Jian sidled up to her and whispered, "Long Hui left thepany early. It seems that he doesn''t want to embarrass himself even further after what happened to his former inws who are now imprisoned with his ex-wife."
