Despite all the rumours swirling around Iris Long's health, she was unaffected and remained focused on her main priorities.
LXC Studio released an official statement about the issue on behalf of her to reassure all her fans that she was safe and in good health.
The statement, however, was very short and quite vague. It didn't satisfy everyone. They pressed LXC Studio for more details but the company re-focused the attention on Jin Chonglin's latest projects instead.
By this time, Iris was back to working at Eve Holdings. There were paparazzi wandering around all of her companies but she was able to slip past them thanks to her highly professional security team.
She was currently meeting the newly hired staff for her newest company, Phantom Dragon Funds.
Her financial manager, Qiao Yu, was also present to help with all the initial funding aspects of the new investment company.
"Phantom Dragon," he muttered under his breath. "Young Madam—President, how about we change the company name into something that is, er, less domineering?"
Iris raised an eyebrow. "If you think that the name sounds domineering, then that's exactly what I want. We'll stick to this name. It's perfect."
Qiao Yu opened his mouth, planning to persuade her to change her mind, but closed it again after seeing the all too familiar stubborn light in her eyes. He sighed and resigned himself.
"Phantom Dragon, huh. Investment applicants might think that we aren't legitimate investors but loan sharks instead after hearing our name."
Iris chuckled. "You've grown quite funny recently, Mr. Qiao."
The financial manager's mouth twitched before quickly smoothing his expression into his usual sternness.
"Alright, let's begin," she said, nodding at everyone.
As per Iris' style of not wasting any precious time, the meeting was short yet intensive. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]
The new staff of Phantom Dragon Funds basically didn't have any time to slowly adjust to their new jobs before Iris threw them several important tasks.
Their main priority, however, was to aggressively buy as much Long Industries shares as they could as soon as possible.
This wasn't a big problem to them, though. Most of the new staff weren't greenhorns. In fact, they were some of Qiao Yu's acquaintances. He vouched for their characters, but of course, Iris still performed due diligence when personally hiring them. After all, the investment company would handle large amounts of money on the get-go before it could expect to turn in any profits. Just like any other investments, the possibility of losing money existed as well.
After everyone left, Qiao Yu stayed and looked hesitant to leave.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Qiao?" Iris asked.
He said, "Young Madam, forgive me if what I'm about to say might sound presumptuous."
"What is it?"
