YM778.TV Chapter 1251 - I Trust In You
First to arrive was Hou Liang, CEO and main game developer of Planet Monkey. He was also known as MonkeyFace, an important member of the Black Stars. He also had another identity, the hacker KeymonSTER.
"Wu Chen sends his regards," Hou Liang told Iris after greeting each other. "Planet Monkey is extremely busy after we opened the new map in Supreme Ascension during the New Year so he needs to hold the fort. He wants me to give this to you."
He handed her a cake box. Curious, Iris opened it and laughed at what she saw. Inside was a cake in the shape of a pair of slippers with a missing, chewed off part. As expected of the notorious founder of Slippers Army, Wu Chen, a.k.a. iEatSlippers.
"Thank you," she said with a smile before handing Dom the cake.
Next to arrive was the representative of her real estate business, Gold Heights.
A couple of minutes later, Chen Fei arrived to represent Orchidia Beauty.
"How\'s Big Sister Jinjing?" Iris asked.
Chen Fei rolled her eyes while taking off her coat. "Stupidly basking in love. I feel like vomiting every time I see her giggling by herself while looking at her diamond ring. I swear that her pupils have turned heart-shaped. Ugh!"
Iris laughed. Then she leaned close and asked in a whisper, "How\'s her pregnancy?"
"Nothing really changed that much," Chen Fei whispered back. "Her appetite is still the same but she\'s trying to eat a little more. Well, she does get tired more easily but that\'s about it as far as I noticed."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Well, she\'s only a few weeks along. Maybe she\'ll have morning sickness and all that terrible shit later."
Iris felt a little envious of Long Jinjing. She already started exhibiting pregnancy symptoms very early on in her pregnancy and they still hadn\'t completely abated yet even until now. They only became more manageable with time and careful nourishment. Despite her slight envy, she still didn\'t wish for Long Jinjing to experience the difficult symptoms that she had experienced.

Their conversation was interrupted when Dom connected them to Clover via video call. Clover was now back in France but still needed to attend today\'s meeting as the representative of Liberté. The girl squad friends chatted with each other for a few moments until the final person they were waiting for finally arrived.
"Am I the last one?" Jin Chonglin asked after greeting everyone and flashing them with a sheepish version of his iconic killer smile. "I don\'t think I\'m late."
"No, you\'re right on time," Iris said.
Chen Fei rolled her eyes at him. In response, he raised an eyebrow at her, his expression challenging. She snorted in disgust but otherwise didn\'t bicker with him.
"Where\'s Big Bro?" Jin Chonglin asked Iris. "I heard that he\'s here but how come I don\'t see him?"
"He\'s answering a business call somewhere. He\'ll join us shortly." After she said this, Iris led everyone to the main conference room.
Atty. Kang Huizhong, Jin Liwei\'s lawyer was already waiting inside with the other executives of Eve Holdings. Everyone took a seat.
Jin Liwei joined them soon after to sit at the far end of the conference table. He didn\'t want to take the spotlight away from his wife. He was attending today\'s meeting as a business consultant, and most importantly, as his wife\'s moral support.
Finally, the meeting began.
"Thank you very much for coming today," Iris said before giving a short but spirited speech.
Jin Liwei watched his wife. His current expression was far from his usual cold and indifferent one that he presented to others. His smile might be subtle but the way he looked at his wife showed how proud he was of her.
Others were extremely aware of his presence, especially the new executives of Eve Holdings. Almost all of them were business school graduates and remembered how often their professors used Jin Liwei as a role model and Jin Corporation\'s most famous business deals as case studies for their lessons. They almost couldn\'t keep their composures now that they were actually meeting him in the flesh and sitting with him in the same room.
In their hearts, he was a paragon of business leadership of their generation. His aura exuded unmistakable confidence and also commanding authority. They already readied themselves to fight what they believed would be the inevitable state of distraction due to CEO Jin Liwei\'s powerful presence.
Surprisingly, no, shockingly, they gradually stopped noticing him as they became engrossed by his wife instead. Iris had an undeniable natural charisma and stage presence which were valuable in her career as a celebrity.
These qualities were certainly helping her right now to grab everyone\'s attention as she took the lead in the meeting. Of course, just these alone weren\'t enough. She was able to successfully impress these young executives with her business knowledge and eloquence.
"Orchidia Beauty, Planet Monkey, Gold Heights." She looked at Clover on the video call screen. "Liberté, soon." Then finally looked at Jin Chonglin. "And LXC Studio."
Jin Chonglin flashed her his best iconic killer smile but it was unfortunate that Iris wasn\'t the least bit affected. The newly hired executives, however, had their mortal eyes almost blinded by his smile.
"I agreed to let LXC Studio to join under Eve Holdings\' umbrella because I trust in you," he told Iris.
Jin Chonglin was the majority equity holder of LXC Studio, owning 50% of the entertainment company, while Iris and Jin Liwei shared the remaining half. Without his approval, Iris or Jin Liwei were unable to transfer LXC Studio under Eve Holdings.
She nodded with a smile. "Thank you for your trust.. I won\'t let our LXC Studio down."
