Chapter 1500 Touch Down in Paris
Iris Long''s friends from Cross Academy messaged her after learning that Orchidia would beunching internationally soon. Thedies were especially excited. N?v(el)B\\jnn
AJ Zheneres, Ashandra Knightson, Florence O''Sevan, and Theresa Blipsburg couldn''t wait until the universal website opened for orders. Since Amanpio Kileksky worked with Orchidia several times before to help develop some of the products, thedies even hounded him at the academy to ask him for more information whenever Iris was too busy to reply to their messages.
Iris thanked them after they sent their early congrattions. She was especially thankful to AJ Zheneres who she consulted a few times during the nning stages of Orchidia''s international expansion.
The woman was a genius economist whose financial and market instincts bordered on psychic. Even Grandpa Lu had the highest opinion of her. Unfortunately, AJ Zheneres had already been recruited by Cross Academy early on. Even while still a student, she was already working for the academy to help them maintain and grow their great financial power.
With both of them being busy in their own careers, Iris felt grateful that AJ still took the time and effort to give her sound advice. All of AJ''s tips helped make Orchidia''s transition to the international market smoother.
Now Iris felt more confident in her decision to expand abroad all at once.
Indeed, only her fellow geniuses had the guts to forge ahead despite all the people who warned her against doing so. This was why bing friends with like-minded individuals was important. It gives a sense of belonging like no other.
"I''ll send samples of the three Liberté perfumes to all of you ahead of theunch," Iris told them during a video conference call in theirdies-only Cross Academy group chat. "You can give the men''s perfumes to others if you want."
They thanked her again.
AJ Zheneres: "Ashandra, Theresa, and I are currently staying in the academy, so we''ll definitely attend the Europeanunch in Germany. I don''t know about Florence, though."
Florence O''Sevan: "I might attend either the one in Singapore or in the Philippines, whichever is more convenient in booking flights because I''m in India right now implementing mytest research on sustainable water filtration systems."
Long Xin: "Thank you for your support, everyone! I''ll attend all three international Orchidiaunches plus the one in France for Liberté. I should be able to squeeze some time before Iunch my new album with Teacher Enrique."
Theresa Blipsburg: "Oh my gosh, Xin! I can''t wait for your cob with our senior toe out! I''m a huge of Enrique Valdez. And of yours, as well, of course."
Ashandra Knightson: "I might be able to attend your Libertéunch in France. I just need to check my schedule first. It might coincide with the exhibition of mytest art pieces."
Long Xin: "Okay, Ashandra. I''ll send you Liberté''sunch schedule. Hopefully, we get to meet in France too. I also hope that I''ll get to attend your art exhibition as well."
Ashandra Knightson: "Looking forward to it, Xin."
AJ Zheneres: "Unfortunately, I can''t attend theunch in France. I have to apany our headmaster, Professor Dupont, to attend an important finance assembly at the European Union."
Theresa Blipsburg: "Same here. I also have to present mytest research at a biomedical engineering symposium in America."
Florence O''Sevan: "I can''t attend in France either. It''s too much of a hassle flying all the way from India."
Long Xin: "That''s fine. I don''t mind. All of us are busy with our own work plus our personalized studies. I''m already happy that you can even attend one event in the first ce."
After chatting with the Cross Academydies, Iris dove back to her own busy but fulfilling life. Every time she felt tired from the everyday grind, she would just go to her husband and their children to recharge.
This kind of life was something that she never even dared to imagine in her past life as Evelina Vetrova. But now she was actually living it.

Finally, it was time for the much-awaitedunch of the rebranded perfumepany, Liberté.
Iris and Jin Liwei brought their twins and flew using LX Air, their jumbo airne. Of course, Dom and the nannies apanied them.
Flying with them were Jin Chonglin and his girlfriend, Chen Fei. Yin Meixing, the other female ambassador, also came with them with Tang Yiyi, the manager she shared with Iris.
Grandpa Lu also decided toe with them at thest minute because he said that he wanted to meet with some old friends in France. He would also go with them straight to Germany for Orchidia''s Europeanunch afterwards.
They also came with a huge entourage of bodyguards. Some were obvious, but some were disguised as normal assistants.
At first, Iris and Jin Liwei were worried about bringing their twins, but they couldn''t imagine leaving them at home for too long at such a young age. Even if it would be riskier to bring them along abroad, they could just tighten their security team to prevent any potential dangers.
They wouldn''t be able to feel reassured leaving the twins alone while they left for another country and continent.
Especially Iris who would tear up just imagining not seeing her precious babies before she slept at night.
In the end, she and Jin Liwei decided that it was better to bring their twins for their own peace of mind.
Among their huge security team were members of Shadow Winds personally chosen by Lu Zihao to protect Iris and her twin sons. One team flew with them in LX Air while the other one travelled bymercial flight in advance.
Once LX Air touched down in Paris at a private airport, customs was a breeze because they were the only aircraft thatnded at that time.
Jin Liwei already arranged chauffeured vehicles to pick them up and drive them straight to his Paris residence.
His family along with Jin Chonglin and Chen Fei plus Dom, their nannies, and personal staff stayed with them at his ce.
