His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Chapter 1642: More Beautiful in Person



The first stop of the day was the Orchidia Philippines headquarters. It was located in a newly developed high-end mixed used estate and business district. Everything in the place looked new, clean, modern, and luxurious. There were also notably quite a lot of foreigners walking around by the sidewalks.

There was already a huge crowd waiting in front of the Orchidia Philippines building. The company's privately hired security coordinated with the local police to control the crowd and ensure that today's special guest remained safe at all times.

By this time, the sun had already risen in the sky. The heat was also starting to soar.

Nevertheless, the people waiting refused to leave. They were all determined to meet the special guest. Many of them had travelled from far away just to ensure that they didn't miss today's event. If not for the district's strict rules of no loitering, all of them would have camped the night before.

An Orchidia Philippines representative came out and announced to everyone present that the person they had been waiting for was coming in about ten minutes.

Everyone grew excited.

Some smoothed out their suits. Many double-checked their papers and pens and phones to ensure that everything was in good working order when asking for autographs and photos.

The leader and organizer spoke through a mega-phone, instructing everyone to be orderly.

Then they unfurled a huge tarpaulin poster showing a beautiful photo of Iris Long with her ethereal smile. Written were the words "Welcome to the Philippines, Boss Iris".

Smaller posters, most were handmade and others digitally printed, also appeared and raised high.

Within this group of fans, reporters with their cameramen sent by the major news stations were also waiting for the special guest's arrival.

Finally, everyone saw a convoy heading towards them. Police officers in motorcycles escorted a group of vehicles.

"They're here!" the representative from Orchidia Philippines said.

Screams erupted.

The posters were raised high.

The private security and police became a little nervous. Fortunately, the fans were quite well-behaved despite all the screaming. Their orderliness surprised the private security, police, and curious bystanders.

Usually, when fans gathered together to wait for their favourite celebrities, they tended to be unruly. The worst case would be a deadly stampede.

The vehicles stopped in front of the company driveway, and the executives also came down, demonstrating the special guest's importance.

A security officer stepped forward and opened the first vehicle.

Screams erupted as everyone anticipated who might be the first to come out.

It was a woman.

"Boss Iris!!!"

"Iris Long, I love you!!!"

Unfortunately, it wasn't her yet.

Linda Chua came out of the vehicles and felt helpless upon seeing the collective disappointment of everyone upon seeing her. However, she quickly recovered. She wasn't the main star anyway.

After she disembarked, a male figure came out behind her.

Some fans craned their necks to look at him. "Who's that?"

"OMG! Is that Dom?"

"Yes, it is! Our fellow countryman, the pride of the Philippines—Dominic Chua!!!"

"Welcome back home, Dom!!!"

"Dom, the Beauty King!!!"

Linda felt shocked by the deafening screams. She turned around to look at her little brother. Her ears hadn't heard it wrong, right? Everyone seemed to be screaming for her brother!

Dom grinned and waved at everyone.

"Kyaaaaaaaah! Dom, so handsome and beautiful!"

Linda stared at the unbelievable scene for a while before catching herself. She regained her composure and pasted a professional smile on her face. Inside, however, she was amazed at her brother's popularity.

Although she knew that it was thanks to Iris Long's fame, Linda still felt awed at the crowd's reaction. This was her brother!

A sense of pride welled inside her. If not for wanting to be professional, she would have already whipped out her phone and recorded the scene so that she could upload it to their family group chat. She bet that their parents and other sisters would be as amazed as her.

To his credit, Dom didn't hog the spotlight. Only a few seconds passed before he walked to the next vehicle.

Linda followed closely behind.

He personally opened the door and long, male legs stepped on the ground. Out came a handsome man with a cold and indifferent aura.

The screams paused for a second before another wave of screams erupted.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaah!!! It's CEO Jin!!!"

"CEO Liam Jin, welcome to the Philippines!"

"You're so handsome, Liam!!!"

"Please continue taking care of our Boss Iris, Liam!!!"

"Don't ever cheat on our Boss Iris or we, the Filipino Black Stars, will avenge her!!!"

Since most of the fans were screaming in English, Jin Liwei understood what they were saying, especially the last ones. He paused for a moment before looking at the person who yelled those words at him.

"You'll never have a chance to avenge my wife because I won't ever cheat on her," he said in a solemn tone.

"Kyaaaaaaaah! So cool, CEO Jin!"

"So sweet! Ah, where's my medication?! My diabetes is acting up again!!!"

Jin Liwei looked at the crowd. He nodded, feeling satisfied that they seemed to be well-organized and not too disruptive. He turned around and held an arm back inside of the vehicle.

A delicate and white hand held his hand.

Seconds later, a stunning goddess alighted from the vehicle.

The screams were out of this world. The sound couldn't even compare to what Dom and Jin Liwei received combined.

Iris Long held her husband's arm while waving at her Filipino fans with her other hand. She felt a little surprised upon seeing their number. More people came today than the ones who greeted her upon her arrival at the airport yesterday.

Then she grew concerned because it was getting hotter, especially with the sun so high up in the sky. Fortunately, it was still morning, so the heat was still bearable.

She whispered something to Dom who nodded.

Linda told her, "You can interact with your fans and the media first."

"What about the executives?" Iris asked while looking at the people in professional corporate outfits waiting for her by the company's entrance.

"Don't worry," Linda assured her. "I organized today's schedule with my colleagues. This is part of our publicity plan. We've specially allocated time for you to interact with your Filipino fans and answer some questions from the media present."

Iris nodded. "Okay, I understand."

Jiang Ying Yue also appeared along with the other bodyguards they brought from Dragon Palace. They protected Iris as she and her husband approached the crowd of fans.

Iris was known for being friendly to her fans, the Black Stars. If her schedule allowed it, she would surely take a few minutes to chat with her fans, sign autographs for them, and take photos.

Despite the intimidating gaze of her husband, Jin Liwei, and her bodyguards, the Filipino fans still felt ecstatic upon finally meeting their Boss Iris in the flesh.

"OMG! She looks even more beautiful in person."

"Look at her skin! It looks smoother, clearer, and brighter than my own future!"

"Probably thanks to Orchidia Beauty products. Now that we have Orchidia Philippines, we can buy Boss Iris' skincare products more easily without the expensive shipping cost and import tax. I can't wait for Orchidia Philippines to launch."

Hearing their conversation, Iris chimed in, "Yes, if you have time, please come to Orchidia Philippines' launch the day after tomorrow. We'll have some giveaways, discount coupons, and a raffle draw with exciting prizes."

"Kyaaaaaaaah! Yes, of course, Boss Iris! We'll definitely come and support Orchidia!"

"Boss Iris, did Baby Mochi and Baby Matcha come with you?"

At the mention of her babies, Iris couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile. "No, my husband and I decided that the children are still too young to appreciate your beautiful country. But we're already planning to have a family trip with the children here in the future. They just need to grow up a little more."

Seeing that their Boss Iris was truly very nice and even answered some of their questions, the Filipino Black Stars were so happy that they could cry. And many of them did cry.

They handed Dom and the bodyguards the cards and presents that they carefully prepared for their Boss Iris.

Of course, her children weren't forgotten. Many of them also prepared gifts for the Jin twins and the cats. Even Little Jun received a few presents. The dogs, Pudding and Chowder, although not as well-known as the cats, still received a couple of presents each.

When Jiang Ying Yue learned that some fans prepared presents for her son, her eyes reddened. Nevertheless, she didn't let her emotions interfere with her job. She was nothing but a professional. She used her strong, muscled body to shield Iris from overly excited fans who might have forgotten the notion of personal space from overexcitement.

Thankfully, the overly enthusiastic fans soon apologized after realizing their actions.

Jin Liwei once again nodded in satisfaction after seeing the Filipino Black Stars' self-awareness. It seemed that they inherited the original Black Stars code of ethics to never put their Boss Iris in danger.

He knew that this was all thanks to the Chua family's hard work. They were the ones who founded Black Stars Philippines and worked hard to promote Iris Long to these new fans.

It was actually quite amazing that the Black Stars Philippines grew this much in such a short period. They also quickly became the most vocal and organized international division of the Black Stars on the web, especially when it came to defending their Boss Iris.

In addition, the Filipino Slippers Army was quickly becoming as formidable as the original.
